The Community and Economic Development Department has reviewed the bids submitted for
the Downtown Core Streetscape Phase 1 project and recommends that the contract CAG-20-
143 be awarded to RW Scott Construction in the amount of $839,369.50. We request that an
agenda bill for Council Concur be prepared for the October 19, 2020 Council Meeting.
The bid opening was held on September 15, 2020. Thirteen bids were received. The low bid
was submitted by RW Scott Construction, in the total amount of $839,369.50 with any
applicable sales tax. We have checked the bids for mathematical errors and found a few
mathematical errors, but they did not affect the low bid. A tabulation of the bids is attached.
We have verified that RW Scott Construction is the lowest responsible bidder and that they
have submitted a responsive bid. We have also evaluated the supplemental bidder
responsibility and pre-award questionnaire and determined that RW Scott Construction has
the required experience and qualifications to perform the work.
We recommend that the contract CAG-20-143 be awarded to the low bidder RW Scott
Construction in the total amount of $839,369.50. The engineer’s estimate is $1,086,812.00.
The budget amount for this construction contract is $722,855 and the 2020 amount of
336,855 will be added to the Community Development Block Grant budget for the Downtown
Core Streetscape Phase 1. The project consists of the construction of new sidewalk, lighting,

City Council Regular Meeting - 19 Oct 2020
SUBJECT/TITLE: Ratification of Two Extensions to DevCo Solera Standstill Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council Concur
DEPARTMENT: Community & Economic Development Department
STAFF CONTACT: Vanessa Dolbee, Planning Director
EXT.: 7314
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
N/A
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
On April 6, 2020, City Council adopted a moratorium that prohibits the acceptance of permit applications for Large
Residential Projects (>150 units) in the Sunset Area.
A Large Residential Project, named “Solera,” was already entitled for construction prior to adoption of the moratorium,
and Solera representatives “DevCo” appealed the moratorium. On July 6, 2020, the City Council ratified a “Standstill
Agreement” between DevCo and the City. Under the Standstill Agreement, DevCo stays its appeal of the moratorium,
the City holds final action on two docket items related to the moratorium (“Mixed-Income Housing in the CV Zone” and
“Site Plan Review”), and DevCo and City staff attempt to reach agreement on the Solera project. The Standstill
Agreement’s original standstill period was scheduled to end on August 31, 2020, but was subsequently extended to
October 1, 2020 under Amendment No. 1 to Standstill Agreement.
DevCo and City staff executed a short-term extension to October 8, 2020 as “Amendment No. 2 to Standstill
Agreement.” The short-term extension allowed DevCo and the City to continue negotiating a longer term extension to
benefit both parties.
The short-term extensions allowed City staff and DevCo to successfully complete their negotiations regarding the Solera
project. The result of those negotiations is a substantive modification of the original Standstill Agreement (“Amendment
No. 3 to Standstill Agreement”) that, among other things, extends the standstill period to March 2021; sets forth land
use permit processes, design expectations, and milestone deadlines for the Solera project; and includes a promise from
DevCo to dismiss its existing appeal of the moratorium.
EXHIBITS:
A. Issue Paper
B. Amendment 2 to Standstill Agreement
C. Amendment 3 to Standstill Agreement
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
(1) Approve and ratify Amendment No. 2 to Standstill Agreement with DevCo, extending the Standstill Agreement to
October 8, 2020 and (2) approve and ratify Amendment No. 3 to Standstill Agreement with DevCo, substantively
modifying the Standstill Agreement, including extending the standstill period to March 2021.

SUBJECT:Ratification of Two Extensions to DevCo Solera Standstill
Agreement (“Amendment No. 2 to Standstill Agreement” and
“Amendment No. 3 to Standstill Agreement”)
Issues:
1. Should the City Council ratify a one-week extension to the Standstill Agreement
with DevCo (“Amendment No. 2 to Standstill Agreement”)?
2. Should the City Council ratify an extension of the Standstill Agreement with
DevCo to on or about March 19, 2021, setting forth permit processes, design
expectations, and milestone deadlines for the Solera project (“Amendment No. 3
to Standstill Agreement”)?
Background:
Original June 2020 Standstill Agreement and Its First Amendment
On April 6, 2020, City Council adopted a moratorium that prohibits the acceptance of
permit applications for Large Residential Projects (>150 units) in the Sunset Area and fee
waiver applications for Large Residential Projects. The purpose of the moratorium was
to allow City staff to assess potential impacts that Large Residential Projects may have
on the Sunset Area, as well as potential impacts to City finances if fee waivers are
granted based on current Renton Municipal Code (RMC) provisions, and to propose
code amendments to mitigate those potential impacts. In response, City staff initiated
two docket items: “Mixed-Income Housing in the CV Zone” and “Waived Fees.” City staff
had already initiated a docket item named “Site Plan Review” that would allow City
planners to better ensure modifications to approved site plans mitigate negative
impacts, where necessary, and ensure consistency with the RMC.

October 19, 2020
A Large Residential Project in the Sunset Area, named “Solera,” was already entitled for
construction prior to adoption of the moratorium, and the current representatives of
that project, DevCo, appealed the moratorium. Subsequently, DevCo requested the City
enter into a Standstill Agreement whereby DevCo would stay its appeal, the City Council
would hold final action on “Mixed-Income Housing in the CV Zone” and “Site Plan
Review,” and DevCo and City staff would attempt to resolve the dispute regarding the
Solera project. DevCo and City staff agreed that the “Waived Fees” docket item could
proceed irrespective of the Standstill Agreement. The City Council ratified the Standstill
Agreement on July 6, 2020.
The Standstill Agreement had an original expiration date of August 31, 2020. Although
the parties progressed in their discussions, more time was needed to reach agreements
regarding the Solera project. Thus, DevCo and City staff negotiated a short-term
extension of the Standstill Agreement, moving the expiration date from August 31, 2020
to October 1, 2020 (“Amendment No. 1 to Standstill Agreement”). The City Council
ratified Amendment No. 1 to Standstill Agreement on September 14, 2020.
Amendment No. 2 to Standstill Agreement (Additional one-week extension)
The intent of Amendment No. 1’s short-term extension of the Standstill Agreement was
to allow the parties to negotiate a longer-term extension that clearly set out a pathway
to resolve the parties’ respective issues. City staff and DevCo found that they needed
additional time to complete the negotiations; thus, the parties executed an additional
extension of the standstill period, moving the expiration from October 1 to October 8
(“Amendment No. 2 to Standstill Agreement”).
Due to the time-sensitive nature of the Standstill Agreement’s expiration, City staff
proceeded with executing Amendment No. 2 to Standstill Agreement. However, the
extension contains a ratification clause at its Section 4. Pursuant to that clause, if the
City Council ratifies Amendment No. 2 to Standstill Agreement, the agreement remains
in effect. If the City Council does not ratify, the agreement automatically terminates.
Amendment No. 3 to Standstill Agreement (Substantive modification of Standstill
Agreement; extension to March 2021)
In October, City staff and DevCo successfully completed their negotiations regarding
permitting for the Solera site. The negotiations resulted in a document (“Amendment
No. 3 to Standstill Agreement”) that substantively modifies the original Standstill
Agreement, extending the standstill period to on or about March 19, 2021.
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
Ruth Pérez, Council President

Significant terms of Amendment No. 3 include the following:
Confirms that the mixed-use blocks of DevCo’s Solera project will contain at least
50% unrestricted market rate units (Section 8 and Exhibit B);
Defines land use permit types that apply to DevCo’s Solera project (Section 5.A)
and establishes milestone deadlines for completing the land use permitting for
the Solera project’s mixed-use blocks along Sunset Boulevard, with an estimated
date of February 2, 2021 for public hearing before the City’s Hearing Examiner
(Section 5.B);
Confirms that the existing conditions of approval for the Solera site (established
in 2018 and 2019) will continue to apply unless expressly agreed otherwise by
DevCo and City staff or modified by the Hearing Examiner (Section 5.D.2);
Memorializes design elements for DevCo’s Solera project that DevCo will present
to the Hearing Examiner (Sections 6 and 7). Design elements include additional
on-street parking to support commercial uses and the wrapping of the mixed-use
blocks with active uses;
Engages a public process for DevCo’s Solera project: (1) DevCo will hold a
neighborhood meeting by October 20, 2020; (2) memorialized design elements
are subject to change if public comment is received regarding such design
elements; and (3) public involvement will be encouraged through the standard
land use permitting process, including public hearing before the City’s Hearing
Examiner;
Clarifies how City staff will apply the City’s multi-family tax exemption provisions
of RMC 4-1-220 to the Solera project, for review and action by the City Council
(Section 9 and Exhibit C); and
Makes no commitments about fee waivers for the Solera project, but
acknowledges that DevCo could decide to independently approach the Ciyt
Council about a fee waiver because fee waivers are a legislative matter (Section
10).
Of additional benefit to the City, Amendment No. 3 allows City staff to present the
“Mixed-Income Housing in the CV Zone” and “Site Plan Review” docket items to the City
Council’s Planning & Development Committee for recommendation, with final City
Council action still held until after the completion of the standstill period (Section 2).
Finally, in exchange for the agreements related to the Solera project’s permit
processing, DevCo will dismiss its Hearing Examiner appeal of the moratorium upon
completion of the permitting process (Section 5.D.1).

Again due to the time-sensitive nature of the Standstill Agreement’s expiration, City
staff proceeded with executing Amendment No. 3 to Standstill Agreement. However, as
with the prior extensions, the extension contains a ratification clause at its Section 11.
Pursuant to that clause, if the City Council ratifies Amendment No. 3 to Standstill
Agreement, the agreement remains in effect. If the City Council does not ratify, the
agreement automatically terminates.
Recommendation:
City staff recommend that:
1. City Council ratify Amendment No. 2 to Standstill Agreement with DevCo,
extending the Standstill Agreement to October 8, 2020.
2. City Council ratify Amendment No. 3 to Standstill Agreement with DevCo, setting
forth land use permit processes, design expectations, and milestone deadlines
for the Solera project, in exchange for DevCo’s promise to dismiss its existing
appeal of the moratorium.

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO STANDSTILL AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT (“Second Amendment”), dated for reference purposes only as October 1,
2020, is by and between the City of Renton (the “City”), a Washington municipal corporation, and
Solera, LLC, DevCo, LLC, and Solera Manager, LLC, each a Washington limited liability company
(collectively, “DevCo”). The City and DevCo are each a “Party,” and are collectively the “Parties”
to this Amendment. Once fully executed by the Parties, this Second Amendment is effective as
of the last date signed by the Parties.
Whereas, the City and DevCo entered into a Standstill Agreement dated June 24, 2020 (referred
to herein as the “Agreement”); and
Whereas, pursuant to the Agreement, the Standstill Period set forth in the Agreement’s Section
1.1 was set to expire on August 31, 2020;
Whereas, the Standstill Period was extended through October 1, 2020 in Amendment No. 1 to
Standstill Agreement, dated for reference purposes as August 31, 2020; and
Whereas, the Parties wish to amend the Agreement again in order to extend the Standstill Period
for a short duration; and
Whereas, the Parties intend to use the short extension to continue their good faith negotiations
toward a longer extension of the Standstill Period and substantive modifications to the
Agreement, to the mutual benefit of the Parties.
NOW THEREFORE, It is mutually agreed upon that the Agreement is amended as follows:
1. Section 1.1 of the Agreement is amended to extend the Standstill Period to end on October
8, 2020.

or a development in the Appeal. Otherwise, the Parties will communicate with the Hearing
Examiner after October 8, 2020.
4. The Parties agree that this Second Amendment responds to a time-sensitive situation due
to the scheduled expiration of the Standstill Period on October 1, 2020, causing the Parties
to need to execute this Amendment prior to review by the City Council. Accordingly, this
Amendment is subject to City Council consideration, and City staff will present the
Amendment to the City Council for ratification after execution by City staff. If the City
Council considers the Amendment and does not ratify it, then the Amendment and the
Agreement will automatically terminate with no liability or further obligation arising on the
part of any Party.
5. All terms of the Agreement not explicitly modified herein shall remain in full force and
effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have voluntarily entered into this Amendment as of the date

AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO STANDSTILL AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO STANDSTILL AGREEMENT (“Third Amendment”), dated for
reference purposes only as October 8, 2020, is by and between the City of Renton (the “City”), a
Washington municipal corporation, and Solera, LLC, DevCo, LLC, and Solera Manager, LLC, each
a Washington limited liability company (collectively, “DevCo” or the “Applicant”). The City and
DevCo are each a “Party,” and are collectively the “Parties” to this Third Amendment. Once fully
executed by the Parties, this Third Amendment is effective as of the last date signed by the
Parties.
Whereas, the City and DevCo entered into a Standstill Agreement dated June 24, 2020 (referred
to herein as the “Agreement”); and
Whereas, the Standstill Period set forth in the Agreement’s Section 1.1 was originally scheduled
to expire on August 31, 2020; and
Whereas, via Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement (“First Amendment”), the Parties extended
the Standstill Period from August 31, 2020 to October 1, 2020, for the purpose of attempting to
negotiate, in good faith, a longer extension of the Standstill Period and substantive modifications
to the Agreement, to the mutual benefit of the Parties; and
Whereas, the Parties subsequently extended the Standstill Period to October 8, 2020 in
Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement (“Second Amendment”), and
Whereas, the Parties have used the Standstill Period to negotiate in good faith, and the Parties
have made significant progress to develop a joint vision for the Solera site. DevCo has prepared
conceptual designs and floorplans for the City’s review, resulting in a concept design package
(“Concept Design”) and renderings (“Renderings”) received by the City on September 24, 2020,
and DevCo received detailed comment from City staff on October 2, 2020 (“October 2
Response”). The Concept Design, Renderings, and October 2 Response constitute Exhibit A and
are on file with the City’s Community and Economic Development Department (“CED”); and
Whereas, this Third Amendment incorporates the Parties’ negotiations, setting forth substantive
modifications to the Agreement that the Parties believe are of benefit to DevCo, the City, and the
public.
NOW THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed upon that the Agreement is amended as follows:
Extension of and Modification to Standstill Period
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5EF3ED0A-BA39-4F24-92C7-AAC31E712F63
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
PAGE 2 OF 13
1. Section 1.1 of the Agreement is amended to extend the Standstill Period to end on March
19, 2021, or the date of the Final Decision (defined in Section 5.D.1), whichever occurs first.
The extended Standstill Period is intended to provide sufficient time to accomplish the
relevant permit processes described in this Third Amendment.
2. Section 1.3 of the Agreement is amended to allow City staff to seek a recommendation from
the City Council Planning & Development Committee regarding the Sunset Development
Changes during the Standstill Period. The Parties retain the Agreement’s restriction on
enacting the Sunset Development Changes during the Standstill Period.
3. Section 1.5 of the Agreement is amended to read as follows: “DevCo shall file no permit or
other land use applications with respect to Solera until the Moratorium (as may be
extended) is lifted, except as (1) described under this Third Amendment, (2) allowed
pursuant to any entitlements predating the Moratorium, or (3) agreed to in writing by the
Parties. This provision shall (1) survive the expiration or termination of the Standstill Period
and the Agreement and (2) control over any potentially conflicting term elsewhere in the
Agreement.”
4. Within 5 business days after mutual execution of this Third Amendment, the Parties shall
jointly request an extension of the stay of the Appeal through March 19, 2021. If the
Hearing Examiner denies that request in whole or in part for any reason, then this Third
Amendment, the Second Amendment, the First Amendment, and the Agreement will
automatically terminate with no liability or further obligation arising on the pa rt of any
Party.
Solera Permitting
5. Land Use Permit Types and Processing.
A. Permit Types. Within the Milestones set forth in Section 5.B, DevCo shall apply for and
pursue (1) an RMC 4-9-200 “master plan major modification” approval for the entirety of
the Solera site; (2) a single RMC 4-9-200 “site plan review” approval for at least Block A and
Block B of the Solera site; and (3) a modification to the Solera preliminary plat.
Furthermore, if DevCo seeks an exception from the Renton Municipal Code for aspects of
the major modification permit or the site plan review permit, DevCo shall concurrently
apply for and pursue, “modification(s)” to the Renton Municipal Code as set forth in RMC 4-
9-250. Collectively, the master plan major modification, site plan review, modification to
preliminary plat, and potential modification(s) permits are hereinafter the “Solera Site Plan
Permits.” At its own risk, on or after the date that the Hearing Examiner issues the decision
on the Solera Site Plan Permits, DevCo may submit civil construction permit applications
and building permit applications, provided that such applications are consistent with the
Hearing Examiner’s decision on the Solera Site Plan Permits and subject to correction for
any inconsistencies with the Final Decision (defined below). DevCo may submit the civil
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5EF3ED0A-BA39-4F24-92C7-AAC31E712F63
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
PAGE 3 OF 13
construction permit applications and building permit applications prior to the Hearing
Examiner’s decision on the Solera Site Plan Permits if the Parties mutually and in writing
determine that the project scope is fully defined and that there are no disagreements
between the Parties regarding project design elements.
B. Milestones. DevCo and the City shall meet the following Milestones for the Solera Site
Plan Permits:
(1) October 20, 2020: Date by which DevCo shall hold a neighborhood meeting
pursuant to RMC 4-8-090.A.
(2) November 3, 2020: Date by which DevCo shall submit its first pre-screening
application materials to City staff. City staff shall provide written feedback to
DevCo on or before November 12, 2020.
(3) November 24, 2020: Date by which DevCo shall submit its second and final pre-
screening application materials to City staff. City staff shall provide written
feedback to DevCo on or before December 4, 2020.
(4) December 16, 2020: Date by which DevCo shall submit complete applications to
the City for the Solera Site Plan Permits. DevCo shall submit its complete
applications to the City via a sharefile platform such as Dropbox (or similar
submittal method agreed to by the Parties) to Matt Herrera, Senior Planner.
(5) Seven (7) calendar days: After the December 16, 2020 date of application
submittal, this is the maximum time interval between (a) CED sending to DevCo a
written request for additional information or corrections or both and (b) DevCo
sending to CED a complete response.
(6) February 2, 2021: Date by which the public hearing shall be held before the
City’s Hearing Examiner, if all Milestones are met without the extensions
permitted below.
The Parties agree to work in good faith to meet each of the Milestones set forth herein.
To allow for moderate flexibility while still achieving the Parties’ mutual and primary
goal of expediently processing the Solera Site Plan Permits, each Party has a cumulative
total grace period of seven (7) calendar days that it can allocate in one-day or multiple-
day intervals toward meeting that Party’s Milestones, provided, however, that
December 24 and 25 and January 1 shall be exempt from counting against either Party’s
grace period days. A Party’s use of one or more of its seven grace period days shall
extend the other Party’s subsequent Milestone by the same number of days.
C. CED’s Permit Processing. For as long as DevCo meets its deadlines set forth in Section
5.B, as may be extended in accordance with that Section, City staff shall timely, diligently,
and in good faith process and move forward the Solera Site Plan Permits toward readiness
for public hearing. The Solera Site Plan Permit applications are deemed to vest to the
provisions of the Renton Municipal Code in effect on the Solera Approvals vesting date of
August 7, 2018, notwithstanding the agreement of the Parties to meet or apply certain
standards expressly provided herein that may exceed or vary from the vested development
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5EF3ED0A-BA39-4F24-92C7-AAC31E712F63
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
PAGE 4 OF 13
standards. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is intended to result in a successful
master plan project at Solera for the benefit of the public, including the Applicant.
D. Existing Approvals.
(1) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that this Standstill
Agreement has no effect on the validity of the existing Solera approvals issued by
the City’s Hearing Examiner on December 11, 2018 (original decision) and
January 30, 2019 (decision on reconsideration) (collectively, the “Solera
Approvals”). In addition, the Solera Site Plan Permit applications have no effect
on the Solera Approvals until the City’s final decision on the Solera Site Plan
Permits is issued, with (a) no appeals filed during the appeal period; or (b) any
appeals filed being resolved in a manner acceptable to DevCo in its sole
discretion, provided, however, that DevCo agrees that it will not appeal any
aspect of the Solera Site Plan Permits that DevCo agreed to in the Agreement or
its amendments, including this Third Amendment (“Final Decision”). Until such
Final Decision is achieved, DevCo may withdraw the applications for Solera Site
Plan Permits without any resulting effect on the existing Solera Approvals. On
the date of the Final Decision, the Solera Site Plan Permits shall replace the
Solera Approvals as entitlements for the Solera site, and within three (3)
business days thereof DevCo shall withdraw the Appeal.
(2) Conditions of approval as set forth in the Solera Approvals shall remain in effect
unless the Parties agree or the Hearing Examiner determines to modify them.
The Parties acknowledge that certain conditions of the Solera Approvals require
actions to be undertaken prior to the submittal of a site plan application (for
example, removal of the Renton Housing Authority’s adjacent parcel known as
the Piha parcel from the Renton Sunset Redevelopment Master Plan, LUA14-
001475); the Parties agree to address in good faith whether such Solera Approval
conditions can be timely met, or should be modified, to facilitate the timely
submittal of the Solera Site Plan Permits, subject to later performance. If the
Parties are unable to agree as to whether and/or how to modi fy a condition of
approval in the Solera Approvals, each Party may present its respective view to
the Hearing Examiner as an element of the Solera Site Plan Permits decision.
E. Shift of NE 11th Street Alignment (Street Vacation / Dedication). Solera Approvals
require a shifted alignment of NE 11th Street. This alignment shift requires DevCo to
dedicate right-of-way along NE 11th Street. This alignment shift also requires the City to
vacate a portion of NE 11th Street. Although the petition for the street vacation will be
processed separately from the Solera Site Plan Permits, City staff will support approval of
the street vacation, including a land trade (in lieu of payment) for the NE 11th dedication
and the NE 11th street vacation, if an appraisal determines that the dedication area and
vacation area land values are comparable.

AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
PAGE 5 OF 13
6. Design Concept. This Section 6 describes key components of DevCo’s design concept. The
size would increase over what was approved in the Solera Approvals for the two mixed-use
buildings (“MU Buildings”), one on Block A and one on Block B, to allow larger residential
units in the MU Buildings. MU Building B would incorporate townhome-style apartments
along Jefferson, and MU Building A would incorporate them along Jefferson and NE 12th
Street. Each MU Building would have a shared podium for commercial uses, residential
amenities, parking and mechanical spaces, and other spaces accessory to the uses.
Commercial use spaces would front NE Sunset Boulevard and wrap the corner at Sunset and
NE 11th Street. Building heights of not to exceed 75-feet for Block A and 85-feet for Block B
are within the CUP heights approved by the Solera Approvals. The City reviewed the Design
Concept and Renderings in depth and provided comment to DevCo on October 2, 2020;
those comments will be addressed in DevCo’s November 3, 2020 Milestone deadline.
7. Design Elements. DevCo agrees to incorporate the following design elements in the Solera
Site Plan Permits; provided that, if public comment is received on any of these design
elements, such design elements will be further discussed between DevCo and City staff and
potentially subject to change based on the public comments received . This Section 7 is not
meant to exclusively describe project design; this section captures agreements between the
Parties made as a result of regular meetings to investigate the proposed modifications to
the Solera Approvals as of the date of this Third Amendment. As additional design topics
are identified by City staff or the Applicant, the Parties agree to address the same in good
faith during the Standstill Period.
A. Parking and Parking Structures.
(1) DevCo will provide parallel parking on both sides of Jefferson Lane NE and NE
11th St.
(2) DevCo will provide on-street angled parking within the Solera site along the
Sunset Boulevard frontage road. In exchange, City staff will support a credit
toward required commercial parking for the Solera site at a rate of one cre dit for
every one parking space gained over the twenty-six (26) parking spaces that
would have resulted from providing on-street parallel parking.
(3) Residential and commercial uses shall wrap the parking structures with active
uses, with the exception of areas of vehicular and pedestrian access to parking
structures and with the exception of necessary utility and mechanical features,
which will require screening. For the purposes of this provision, active uses
include residential units, lobby, leasing, amenity, and commercial spaces.
B. Commercial Design.
(1) At least one ground floor commercial space in each of Blocks A and B shall
provide grease traps and ventilation shafts for a commercial kitchen
hood/exhaust; a central plumbing drain line; and ADA compliant bathrooms shall
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5EF3ED0A-BA39-4F24-92C7-AAC31E712F63
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
PAGE 6 OF 13
be provided for all commercial ground floor space which may be provided
through use of common facilities.
(2) Commercial frontage entries shall be at grade along Sunset Boulevard, which
may be achieved by stepping the floor plates to provide entries to the
commercial spaces at grade.
C. Construction Phasing. DevCo will propose a new phasing plan, as a part of the Solera
Site Plan Permits application, to allow construction of both mixed-use buildings (Blocks A
and B) to precede the unit lot subdivision townhomes (Blocks C and D). The sequencing of
constructing the mixed-use buildings before the unit lot subdivision townhomes is
acceptable to the City.
Market Rate and Affordable Housing.
8. Income Balanced Development. Within each of mixed-use Blocks A and B, at least fifty
percent of the residential units will be Unrestricted Market Rate Units* and no more than
fifty percent of units will be affordable for households with income below eighty percent
(80%) of median income, and the average rent for all affordable units will not exceed the
rate affordable for households with income below sixty percent (60%) of median income.
CED accepts the Unit Distribution Chart attached as Exhibit B for market/affordable unit
distribution, sizing, and number of bedrooms. Unit sizes and number of bedrooms may be
adjusted by no more than 10% during design development for the Solera Site Plan Permits
application, subject to City approval. The unit lot subdivision townhomes on Blocks C and D
would be market rate unless otherwise approved by the City.
* “Unrestricted Market Rate Units” means units for which homeowners (and renters, if
rented) do not have income eligibility restrictions and the sale price (or rent, if applicable) is
not artificially restricted in any manner.
9. Multi-Family Tax Exemption (MFTE). The Solera site is within the qualified area for
application to the City’s current MFTE program, which is governed by RMC 4-1-220. For
application of the MFTE program at Solera, where the Applicant expects to seek 12-year
MFTE approvals, the Parties agree on the interpretations set forth at Exhibit C.
Acknowledging that enrollment in the MFTE Program is a key component of the Applicant’s
proposal, the Parties agree to further define the MFTE application and approva l
requirements during the Standstill Period . In DevCo’s discretion, but no sooner than on or
after the date that City staff issues its staff report to the Hearing Examiner (seven days
before the Hearing Examiner public hearing), DevCo may submit its MFTE application, which
the City will process and act on within 90 days.
10. Affordable Housing Fee Waiver Application. The Renton Municipal Code allows for waiver of
impact fees for affordable housing at RMC 4-1-210, which City staff intend to present to City
Council for updating during the Standstill Period. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5EF3ED0A-BA39-4F24-92C7-AAC31E712F63
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
PAGE 7 OF 13
limit DevCo’s ability to approach the City Council for consideration of an affordable housing
fee waiver proposal for Solera.
Miscellaneous
11. Ratification. The Parties agree that this Third Amendment responds to a time-sensitive
situation due to the Agreement’s second extended expiration of the Standstill Period on
October 8, 2020, causing the Parties to need to execute this Third Amendment prior to
review by the City Council. Accordingly, this Third Amendment is subject to City Council
consideration, and City staff will present the Third Amendment to the City Council at its first
availability after the City’s date of execution. If the City Council considers the Third
Amendment and does not ratify it, then the Third Amendment and the Agreement and its
Second Amendment and First Amendment will automatically terminate with no liability or
further obligation arising on the part of any Party.
12. Entire Agreement. This Third Amendment, together with the Agreement and Second
Amendment and First Amendment, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with
respect to its subject matter. All terms of the Agreement, as modified by the First
Amendment, not explicitly modified herein shall remain in full force and effect.
13. Counterparts. This Third Amendment may be executed in counterparts, and facsimile or
electronic signatures (including signatures scanned and transmitted by email) shall be
considered valid and binding as if original signatures.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have voluntarily entered into this Third Amendment as of the
date last signed by the Parties below.

AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
Exhibit C
Multi-Family Tax Exemption (MFTE)
Considering that the Project will potentially develop up to fifty percent (50%) of the
mixed-use multi-family units as affordable housing units, DevCo intends to apply to the City for
MFTE approval for some or all of the Project. The following criteria and standards will apply to
the Project for MFTE application purposes.
1. For purposes of the application of the multi-building distribution requirement of RMC 4-1-
220.C.1.c.ii(e):
1.1 if an MFTE application includes only one of the Mixed-Use Blocks (Block A or Block B), then
there is only one building, and RMC 4-1-220.C.1.c.ii(e) does not apply.
1.2 if an MFTE application includes both Mixed-Use Blocks (Block A and Block B), then there are
two buildings, and RMC 4-1-220.C.1.c.ii(e) shall be satisfied if Block A’s mixed-use building and
Block B’s mixed-use building each includes one or more affordable housing units, provided that
between the two mixed-use buildings (Block A and Block B) the 20% affordable housing unit
requirement of RMC 4-1-220.C.1.c.ii must be met.
2. If one or both of the unit lot subdivision townhome blocks (Block C or Block D or both) are
included in the MFTE application for one or both of Blocks A and B, then the provision of RMC
4-1-220.D.2.b(iv), excluding market rate townhome projects from the MFTE program, does not
apply; provided, however, that to the extent that the unit lot subdivision townhome blocks
(Blocks C and D) are included in an application, they will be considered part of the project that
is the subject of the MFTE application and subject to the same completion deadline of RMC 4-1-
220.D.5 for all the blocks included in the MFTE application. If one or both of the unit lot
subdivision blocks are included in the MFTE application for one or both of Blocks A and B, the
following shall apply regardless of the number of phases and buildings, the number of
ownership entities, and/or the structure of the financing: (1) There shall be a single initial MFTE
application, a single staff review and application approval process, a single MFTE contract with
City Council approval, a single conditional certificate of tax exemption, a single final MFTE
application, a single final certificate of tax exemption, and a single tax exemption period; (2)
The single MFTE contract shall be signed by all of the ownership entities and recorded against
all of the Solera parcels. All of the Solera ownership parties shall be individually and collectively
responsible for ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions of the MFTE contract,
including but not limited to the affordable housing requirements that qualify the project for a
12-year MFTE; and (3) There shall be a single annual report and certification (addressing all
phases and buildings). The report shall be prepared by a qualified professional and paid for by
the applicant.

AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
PAGE 2 OF 13
3. For the avoidance of doubt, even if the Project comes under multiple ownership or is
constructed in more than one phase, or both, all of the requirements of RMC 4-1-220 must still
be met.
4. The City’s MFTE program currently sunsets on December 31, 2021, unless extended by
City Council action, which extension could include modifications.

Excess Loss Services
In compensation for the work that HMA does to support excess loss carriers, HMA receives an administrative allowance of
2.5% from most of our preferred carriers. If you are using a non-preferred carrier, there will be an interface fee of 3.0% of
excess loss premium that is assessed to the group in lieu of the administrative allowance. These excess loss fees will be
reflected on the invoice on a PEPM basis.
HMA reserves the right to decline to work with non-preferred excess loss carriers. If we agree to administer a plan with
an excess loss carrier that is not preferred, we will charge an interface fee of 3.0% of excess loss premium and will ask for a
signed waiver of liability from the group. For carriers where we are not an approved benefit administrator, HMA reserves
the right to decline to proceed with the approval process at our discretion.
AGENDA ITEM #7. d)
HMA Client Intent & TPA Exhibit A – City of Renton Page 8 of 9
4034 City of Renton 2021.01 Client Intent Exhibit A
For new groups, the interface fee for non-preferred carriers is based on the carriers projected enrollment and premium
rates.
For renewing groups, the interface fee for non-preferred carriers is calculated based on the final stop loss renewal
premium rates and enrollment for the last month of the prior contract period.
The rates are calculated as follows:
[.03 x (single Specific Stop Loss Premium Rate x single enrollment) + (family Specific Stop Loss Premium Rate x family
enrollment) + (Aggregate Stop Loss Premium Rate x total enrollment)] / Total Enrollment

All of the following charges shall be paid into the appropriate utility or street fund
except that any fees collected under a private latecomer’s agreement shall be
passed on to the holder of the agreement with the applicable fees paid to the
appropriate utility or street fund.
A. PRIVATELY HELD LATECOMER’S FEES AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS CITY HELD LATECOMER’S) FEES:
1. Applicability of Privately Held Latecomer’s Fee: The City has the
discretionary power, as detailed in chapter 9‐5 RMC, to grant street latecomer’s
agreements to developers and owners for the reimbursement of a pro rata portion
of street improvements including signalization and lighting they install and turn
over to the City. The City shall grant utility latecomer’s agreements for the
reimbursement of a pro rata portion of utility systems such as water, sanitary
sewer or storm sewer, if all conditions are met. For purposes of this section, both
utility and street latecomer’s agreements shall be collectively referred to as
“latecomer’s agreements.”
2. Applicability of Special Assessment District Fee: The special assessment
charge is a fee that enables the City to recover a pro rata portion of the original
costs of public works improvements (water systems, sanitary sewer systems,
storm water systems, and street improvements including signalization and
lighting) from the owners of property who would benefit from future connections
to, or future users of, improvements to the City’s infrastructure that were not
installed by LIDs or by a private developer under a latecomer agreement. The
AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________

imposition, collection, payment and other specifics concerning these charges are
detailed in chapter 9‐16 RMC, Special Assessment Districts. Interest may be
charged pursuant to RMC 9‐16‐6, Payments to City.
3. Exemptions for Latecomer’s or Special Assessment District Fees:
a. Segregation of Fees: The City may grant segregation of private
developer latecomer’s fees or special assessment district fees on large parcels of
land per subsection C of this Section.
b. Relief Due to Two (2) Similar Facilities: The Public Works
Administrator will consider relieving a parcel of a latecomer’s or special
assessment district fee/assessment if the property has a benefit from either (but
not both) of two (2) similar facilities. The Public Works Administrator will make
the decision based on engineering and policy decisions as to which facility(ies)
benefit and/or are utilized by the parcel. The assessment due would be that
associated with the utilized facility. If there are no sound engineering or policy
reasons that indicate one facility over the other, the City shall give the applicant
the choice of facilities to utilize.
c. Relief Due to Future Subdivision: At the time the latecomer’s
agreement or special assessment district is formed, and as a condition of the
latecomer’s agreement or special assessment district, the City may require that
the assessment against a parcel be divided such that a single family residential
connection will be assessed based upon the size of a typical single family
residential lot in that area. The remainder of the cost attributed to said site will be
AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
10
due at such time as the parcel develops further either by subdivision or increased
density. In the case of a special assessment district, interest will continue to accrue
on the remaining portion of the assessment.
d. Reallocation of Assessment Due to Subdivision of Property: The
Public Works Administrator will consider reallocation of the latecomer’s
assessment or the special assessment if a property is subdivided for any purpose
other than single family use. Reallocation may be granted based upon front
footage, area, or other equitable means. Consideration may be given to adjusting
the assessment between the new parcels, based upon value of benefit from the
improvements, such that two (2) similar parcels may pay different amounts
because one receives more benefit.
B. SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGES (SDC) – WATER, WASTEWATER, AND
STORM WATER:
The City has authority under RCW 35.92.025 to impose charges, which are
commonly referred to as “system development charges,” on property owners in
order that said property owners shall bear their equitable cost share of the City’s
utility system(s).
1. Applicability of System Development Charge: The system development
charge is hereby imposed against properties and, by inference, the owners of said
properties that are benefiting from and/or increasing the level of usage of the
City’s utility systems. Said property owner(s) shall pay, prior to connection to or
benefit from a City utility system, the system development charge associated with
AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
11
that utility as detailed in the City of Renton Fee Schedule Brochure. A parcel may
benefit from a City utility system during the development or redevelopment of the
property with or without a connection to an established facility. Therefore, the
system development charge for a utility may be triggered without a physical
connection to an existing facility.
a. “Utility system” shall mean:
• The sanitary sewer system, including but not limited to lift stations,
force mains, interceptors and other sewer mains.;
• The storm water system, including but not limited to flow control
or water quality facilities, flood hazard reduction improvements, lift stations, force
mains, interceptors, and other storm water storage, treatment, collection and
conveyance systems used for management of storm water runoff.; and
• The water system, including but not limited to wells, pump stations,
water treatment facilities, reservoirs and water mains.
b. The phrase “increasing the level of usage of a City utility system(s),”
as used in this Section, shall mean any of the following:
• First Time Service Connection or Benefit: Any property that is
connecting to or benefiting from a Renton utility system for the first time
(including but not limited to new construction, conversion from private well, or
conversion from septic system).; and
• Property that is being improved, developed, redeveloped, or
subdivided and as part of said action has installed an additional water meter(s),
AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
12
has installed a larger water meter(s) or creates additional impervious surface (for
the purpose of this code, conversion of a gravel area to asphalt, concrete, or other
impervious surface shall be considered additional impervious surface).
c. The basis for the charge of system development charges shall be:
• Storm Water: The addition of any new impervious surface to
properties will require payment of the system development charge for storm
water for the additional new impervious surface only. If a property is making a
connection for the first time to a storm water system, it will only require payment
of the system development charge for storm water for the impervious surface
tributary to the point of connection. Any rebuilding, change in use or additions to
property that does not create additional impervious surface or does not cause a
first time connection to be made will not require payment of the system
development charge for storm water.
New single family development will pay based upon a flat rate per
dwelling unit. Existing single family development that has previously connected
will pay based upon square foot of additional impervious surface. Existing single
family development that is connecting for the first time will pay based upon a flat
rate per dwelling unit. Commercial and multi‐family development will pay based
upon square foot of additional impervious surface.
• Wastewater: The addition of a new domestic water meter,
increasing the size of an existing domestic water meter, conversion of a non‐
domestic water meter to domestic use, or the first time connection of a property
AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
13
to the sanitary sewer system will require payment of the system development
charge. For each additional domestic meter installed, the charge shall be based
upon the size of the additional meter(s). For each increased domestic meter, the
charge shall be for the size of the new domestic meter minus the charge for the
domestic meter being replaced. For the conversion of a non‐domestic water
meter to domestic use, the charge will be based upon the size of the meter
converted to domestic use. For the first time connection of an existing developed
property to the sewer system, the charge shall be based upon the size of the
domestic meters for the property.
• Water: The addition of a new domestic or irrigation water meter,
increasing the size of an existing water meter, or the addition of a service for fire
protection will require the payment of the system development charge. For each
additional meter installed, the charge shall be based upon the size of the
additional meter(s). For each increase in meter size, the charge shall be for the
size of the new meter minus the charge for the meter being replaced. For the
addition or increase in size of a service for fire protection, the charge shall be
based upon the size of the fire service, not (NOT the size of the detector bypass
meter).
d. Charges Not Refunded for a Reduction In Service: System
development charges will not be refunded if the service basis, as described above,
is reduced. The service level, prior to reduction, may be considered as existing
level of service as described below.
AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
14
e. Existing Level of Service: The existing level of service shall be the
baseline for any additional system development charges. Said baseline level of
service shall be determined by existing connections; existing size, type and
number of water meters; and existing impervious surfaces. When a previously
developed property has participated in demolition of existing improvements, then
the baseline level of service shall be the highest level of developed condition
within the five (5) year period preceding the date of application. Any development
of the property that has been removed for more than five (5) years shall not be
considered when calculating additional fees. For demolished impervious surfaces,
the City reserves the right to utilize construction drawings, aerial photos, or
topographic maps to best determine square footage of impervious surface prior
to demolition.
For storm water, when increasing the level of density of single family
by the addition of units or redevelopment to commercial or multi‐family, the
existing level of service baseline shall be as follows: when the existing level of
service is single family and the proposed service is single family, the baseline shall
be existing dwelling units. When the existing level of service is single family and
the proposed service is other than single family, the baseline shall be the square
footage equivalent of the existing dwelling units.
For example, if a property owner removed all improvements from a
two (2) acre parcel that had a one‐inch (1") domestic water meter, a one‐inch (1")
irrigation water meter, was connected to sanitary sewer, and was fifty percent
AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
15
(50%) impervious and that parcel sat vacant for two (2) years, those improvements
would be considered when calculating additional system development charges.
Exceptions:
The addition of an irrigation meter only for an existing single family
residential dwelling will not trigger a system development charge for water or
sewer.
The addition of a second domestic meter to an existing duplex in order
to divide consumption for billing purposes will not trigger a system development
charge.
Improvements to existing single family residential units that have had
the system development charge for storm water paid per dwelling unit shall be
exempt from charges for additional impervious surfaces unless the additional
impervious surface is created by the addition of single family units or by
development other than single family.
Improvements to existing single family residential units such as
additions that are less than five hundred (500) square feet of new impervious
surface are exempt from the system development charge for storm water unless
a new connection to the Renton storm water system is proposed or required as
part of the permit application.
2. Exemptions to System Development Charge:
a. Installation of an Irrigation Meter Solely for the Purpose of
Providing Irrigation Water to City Right‐of‐Way: Installation of a water meter
AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
16
solely for the purpose of providing irrigation water to City right‐of‐way is
exempted from the system development charge.
b. Exemption for City‐Owned Property: No system development
charge will be collected on City‐owned properties. The benefits to the utility from
the use of other City properties such as utility easements, lift stations and other
benefits offset the amount of the system development charge.
c. Storm Water Exemption for Infiltration Facility: Developments that
infiltrate or contain on site one hundred percent (100%) of the on‐site storm water
runoff volume from a one hundred (100) year storm are exempt from the storm
water system development charge. For the application of this credit, the
owner/developer must use the current design criteria to show that the infiltration
facility will infiltrate all of the volume of runoff produced from the site during the
one hundred (100) year storm.
For purposes of this code, “on‐site” includes all land within the
boundary of the development. If the development benefits from the City storm
water system because the city system provides drainage for any of the lots, tracts,
roadways, etc., within the development, it will not qualify for this exemption.
If a development that is granted an exemption under this Section
discharges water off‐site during a one hundred (100) year storm or less, the
development shall be required to make corrections or improvements to the on‐
site system such that it will infiltrate up to the one hundred (100) year storm. If,
in the future, the development can no longer infiltrate one hundred percent
AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
17
(100%) of the on‐site storm water runoff from a one hundred (100) year storm,
the system development charge shall be due and payable as a condition of the
connection to or utilization of the City’s storm water system.
Nothing in this Section shall relieve the property owner(s) from
complying with the City’s current flow control and water quality treatment
standards at the time the development converts from one hundred percent
(100%) infiltration to use of the City storm system. When a development is
converted from one hundred percent (100%) infiltration to use of the City storm
system, the storm water management standards used shall consider the existing
conditions prior to the property being developed under the one hundred percent
(100%) infiltration exemption and the developed conditions at the time the
conversion is made.
There may be certain areas within the City that partially or completely
prohibit the use of infiltration facilities. If a current or future code or standard
prohibits or limits the use of infiltration facilities to any level below the one
hundred (100) year storm, the development will not qualify for this exemption.
d. Storm Water Exemption for Direct Discharge to Lake Washington:
Developments with property directly abutting the Lake Washington shoreline that
direct discharges one hundred percent (100%) of the on‐site storm water runoff
to the lake through their own private storm system located solely on the
development property(ies) are exempt from the storm water system
development charge. If the development benefits from the City storm water
AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
18
system because the city system provides drainage for any of the lots, tracts,
roadways, etc., within the development, it will not qualify for this exemption. Any
direct discharge to waters or natural drainage courses other than Lake
Washington will not qualify for this exemption.
C. SEGREGATION CRITERIA AND RULES:
Except for parcels being developed for single family use, the ability exists for
the segregation of special assessment district, and/or latecomer’s charges (if
permitted by the latecomer’s agreement) if there is partial development of a large
parcel of property. This segregation shall be based on the following criteria and
rules:
1. Segregation by Plat or Short Plat: Charges shall be determined on the
basis of the specific platted properties being developed regardless of the parcel
size. Unplatted or large‐platted parcels may be platted or short‐platted prior to
development, in which case the special assessment district, and/or latecomer’s
charge will be applied to the specific platted lots being developed.
2. Segregation by Administrative Determination: For the partial
development of a large tract of property, the owner may apply for a segregation
of the special assessment district, and/or latecomer’s charge(s) for the specific
portion of the property to be developed. The burden of establishing the
segregation by legal description, number of units, and map would be on the party
owing the fee and not the City. The following criteria shall determine the
segregation of fees:
AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
19
a. Provisions: This provision shall apply to all developments with the
exception of single family residential home developments.
b. Segregation of Fees: The segregation of fees shall be by formal,
written agreement, including a legal description approved by the City, which shall
be recorded as a restrictive covenant running with the land. The restrictive
covenant shall list the percentage of the special assessment district, and/or
latecomer’s charge fee that has been paid for the property. The applicant shall
also include a detailed plan, drafted to current adopted City standards, of the
proposed development, which shall include the proposed boundary line, as
described in the legal description, for the special assessment district, and/or
latecomer’s charge determination.
c. Segregated Areas: Minimum size of area segregated for
determination and payment of special assessment district, and/or latecomer’s
charge(s) shall be two (2) acres. The segregated area shall include, but not be
limited to, all contiguous existing developed land for which the special assessment
district, and/or latecomer’s charge(s) have not been paid; all proposed buildings;
driveways and sidewalks; parking areas; grass and landscape areas; public access
areas; storm water systems; and improvements required for mitigation of
environmental impacts under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The
boundary line for the segregation of special assessment district, and/or
latecomer’s charge shall be established by survey and legal description and shall
not be closer than fifteen feet (15') to any structure.
AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
20
d. Remnant Parcel: Minimum size of the remnant parcel of
undeveloped property for which the special assessment district, and/or
latecomer’s charge is deferred shall be two (2) acres. Should the property partially
paid for under this Section later develop, then that property shall pay the special
assessment district, and/or latecomer’s charge fee in place at the time of
development. Should the property partially paid for under this Section later be
subdivided, then the partial payment credit shall run with the subdivided lots. The
burden of establishing that the partial payment has been made would be on the
party owing the fee and not on the City.
e. Determination of Charge: The special assessment district, and/or
latecomer’s charge shall be determined on the basis of the percentage of a
property that is developed (existing development plus proposed development).
When a proposed development takes a parcel over the threshold of full
development, as described in this Section, one hundred percent (100%) of the
special assessment district, and/or latecomer’s charge(s) is owed and any balance
is due and payable.
f. Full Development: For the purpose of this Code, “full development”
is considered to be sixty percent (60%) property coverage for multi‐family
development and eighty percent (80%) property coverage for commercial,
industrial, mixed use, and all other development. “Property coverage” is defined
as the portion of the property supporting buildings, driveways and sidewalks,
parking areas, grass and landscape areas, public access areas, storm water

systems, and improvements required for mitigation of environmental impacts
under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
g. Developed Area: The “developed area” shall include, but not be
limited to, all contiguous existing developed land for which the system
development charges have not been paid: all existing and proposed buildings,
driveways and sidewalks, parking areas, grass and landscape areas, public access
areas, storm water systems, and improvements required for mitigation of
environmental impacts.
h. Interpretation: The Administrator of Public Works shall make the
final decision on interpretation of the partial payment of system development
charges.
3. Segregation by Latecomer’s Agreement: Segregation, if If segregation
is permitted by the latecomer’s agreement, will it shall be governed by the terms
of the latecomer’s agreement. Subsections C1 and 2 of this Section shall govern
segregation insofar as they are not inconsistent with the latecomer’s agreement.
SECTION IX. Subsection 4‐1‐190.D.22 of subsection 4‐1‐190.D of the Renton Municipal
Code is amended as shown below. All other provisions in 4‐1‐190.D remain in effect and
unchanged.
22. “Independent fee calculation” means the transportation impact fee
calculation, and/or economic documentation prepared by a feepayer, to support
the assessment of a transportation, parks or fire protection impact fee other than
by the use of the rates published in the City’s Fee Schedule, or the calculations

prepared by the department where none of the fee categories or fee amounts in
the City’s Fee Schedule accurately describe or capture the impacts of the
development activity on public facilities.

development activity requires the issuance of a building permit or a permit for a
change in use, and creates a demand for additional public facilities.

impact fees for transportation and parks are established by the applicable Rate
Study. The rates to be charged by the City are listed in the City of Renton Fee
Schedule.
c. Fire Impact Fee Basis and Amount: The maximum allowable fees
shall be based on the fire capital facilities plan and the rate study developed by
the RRFA, approved by its Board, and adopted by the City as part of the capital

AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
25
Administrator may impose alternative fees on a specific development based on
those calculations. The alternative fees and the calculations shall be set forth in
writing and shall be mailed to the feepayer.
2. Calculations by Feepayer: A feepayer may opt not to have the impact
fees determined according to the fee structure in the City of Renton Fee Schedule,
in which case the feepayer shall prepare and submit to the Administrator, the
RRFA, or school district, as applicable, an independent fee calculation for the
development activity for which a building permit is being sought. The
documentation submitted shall show the basis upon which the independent fee
calculation was made. An independent fee calculation shall use the same
methodology used to establish impact fees and for transportation, parks, fire, and
school impact fees; they shall be limited to adjustments in trip generation rates
and lengths for transportation impact fees, persons per dwelling unit for park
impact fees, and fire incident rates for fire impact fees.
3. Consideration and Review: There is a rebuttable presumption that the
calculations set forth in the Rate Studies and Capital Facilities Plans and the data
used by the City, RRFA, and school districts are valid.
a. Transportation and Parks Impact Fees: The Administrator shall
consider the documentation submitted by the feepayer, but is not required to
accept such documentation or analysis which the Administrator reasonably deems
to be inapplicable, inaccurate, incomplete, or unreliable. The Administrator may
require the feepayer to submit additional or different documentation for
AGENDA ITEM # a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
26
consideration. The Administrator is authorized to adjust the impact fees on a case‐
by‐case basis based on the independent fee calculation, the specific
characteristics of the development, and/or principles of fairness. The fees or
alternative fees and the calculations therefor shall be set forth in writing and shall
be mailed to the feepayer.
b. School and Fire Impact Fees: A school district or the RRFA may
adjust the amount of the impact fee assessed if appropriate and lawful, as
demonstrated by the feepayer to the appropriate school district’s or the RRFA’s
satisfaction. If the Administrator receives a written decision from a school district
or RRFA approving an independent fee calculation, the Administrator shall apply
and collect school or fire impact fees, as applicable, as adjusted by the approved
independent fee calculation.
4. Adjustment from Maximum Amount: Alternative transportation
impact fees calculated pursuant to this subsection shall be reduced in the same
manner and to the same extent that the impact fees in the City of Renton Fee
Schedule are reduced from the maximum allowable impact fees in the Rate Study.
5. Appeals: Determinations made by the Administrator or school district
pursuant to this Section may be appealed to the office of the Hearing Examiner
under the procedures set forth in subsection L of this Section.
