Sylvia Doerschel, Finance Analyst Supervisor, reported that the total proposed 2004 Budget for the City of Renton is $145,700,500, a 2.3 percent increase above the 2003 Budget.

Annexation: Falk, S 47th St & This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in 102nd Ave SE accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider the proposed annexation and R-8 (Residential - eight dwelling units per net acre) zoning of 6.43 acres, including the abutting 102nd Ave. SE right- of-way, bounded by S. 47th St. to the north, SE 185th Pl. to the south, and 102nd Ave. SE to the east (Falk Annexation). Senior Planner Don Erickson reported that the first public hearing on this matter was held on January 27, 2003; subsequently, the Boundary Review Board approved the annexation on April 11, 2003, and voters unanimously approved the annexation, R-8 zoning, and acceptance of the fair share of the City's debt at the Special Election held on September 16, 2003. Mr. Erickson stated that the subject site contains two single-family dwellings, and noted that the essentially flat site hosts a seasonal stream along the eastern property line. Pointing out that the site is within the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District, and is served by Fire District #40, Mr. Erickson indicated that roadway and stormwater improvements are likely. He stated that Renton's Comprehensive November 24, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 424 Plan designates this site as Residential Single Family, and R-8 zoning is proposed to replace the existing King County R-1 zoning. Mr. Erickson reported that a fiscal analysis of the site, assuming a new home value of $300,000 and an increase to 40 single-family homes at full development, determined an estimated surplus of $3,477 per year. He added that an estimated one-time expense in the amount of $23,442 is necessary for parks acquisition and improvements. In conclusion, Mr. Erickson stated that the proposed annexation furthers City business goals, is consistent with City policies for annexation, and appears to serve the best interests and general welfare of the City. He recommended that Council adopt the ordinance that annexes the 6.43 acre Falk Annexation site, including the abutting portion of 102nd Ave. SE; designate the non -street portion R-8; and establish that the site be assessed and taxed at the same rate as other properties within the City to pay all or any portion of the City's outstanding indebtedness. Responding to Council inquiries, Mr. Erickson clarified that the streets are not zoned, only private property is zoned. Regarding the fiscal analysis, he explained that the analysis is based upon an assumption of full development of the site, which can take years to achieve or may never happen. Councilman Clawson commented that the City's costs will increase year by year, and he noted the property tax limitation of one percent per year. Mayor Tanner added that the City requires developers to complete the basic developmental infrastructure; therefore, the City does not incur that cost. Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 435 for ordinance.) ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2003 and beyond.

The first restricts big -box retail development south of N. 8th St. in District 1, and the second incorporates only the retail sales category west of Park Ave. N. and north of N. 8th St. in District 1. Additionally, Mr. Cameron expressed concern that the current standards for this rezone include very little definition and standards related to signage, pedestrian -oriented standards, building materials and landscaping. Citizen Comment: Berkholtz - Correspondence was read from Karin Berkholtz, Washington State Department (CTED), Boeing Renton Site of Community, Trade and Economic Development (CTED), PO Box 42525, EIS Olympia, 98504, regarding the Boeing Environmental Impact Statement and Comprehensive Plan amendments. The letter detailed what CTED liked about the documents, and also offered suggestions for strengthening the Comprehensive Plan and development regulation amendments. OLD BUSINESS Council President Keolker-Wheeler presented a report regarding the application Committee of the Whole (2003-M-13) for The Boeing Company Renton plant site land use map Planning: Boeing Renton Site amendment; land use element text amendment; concurrent rezoning and EIS development standards, including parking standards, site development plan review, design guidelines; and two new zone designations - the Urban Center - North 1 and Urban Center -North 2; and the application (2003-M-05) for the Fry's Electronics 2003 Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone. The Committee met monthly throughout 2003 and weekly during October and November to review these Comprehensive Plan amendments and associated rezones, and zoning text amendments. The Committee recommended approval of the applications subject to the following findings as documented in the staff reported dated November 17, 2003, for the Boeing application, and October 31, 2003, for the Fry's application. Findings: The proposed amendments meet Section 4-9-020G, Review Criteria, in Renton Municipal Code Title IV (Development Regulations). The proposals support criteria 1 relating to the vision in the adopted Comprehensive Plan by providing further policy direction to implement the City's Urban Center. The proposal also meets adopted Business Plan Goal 1 "To promote citywide economic development," by providing additional November 24, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 427 employment capacity to diversify the employment base. The proposal also provides a policy basis to transition industrial properties to their highest and best use, and facilitates quality development of waterfront land. The property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the policies set for the Comprehensive Plan, and the subject reclassification was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning. As a result of regional changes in the manufacturing sector and decisions made by Boeing to consolidate operations on a portion of their plan site (District 2 within the new land use designation), land areas formerly used for parking and operations to support manufacturing of airplanes are no longer used for this purpose. This changed circumstance has created the opportunity for the City to review land use in the North Renton area, including properties owned by Boeing and other privately owned parcels in the immediate vicinity to determine the policy direction for future use and development in ways that were not previously analyzed. Recommendations: Adoption of a Comprehensive Plan land use map amendment redesignating the 310-acre study area to Urban Center -North. This action includes Boeing North Renton plant, Puget Sound Energy property, Fry's Electronics property, and several small private businesses along Park Ave. N., including the Wendall, Wiemeyer, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad properties. 2. Adoption of a new Comprehensive Plan designation, as recommended by the Planning Commission in the draft dated November 13, 2003. The text amendment sets forth vision, objectives and policies for the Urban Center - North, and each of its districts. The existing Center Downtown designation is redesignated Urban Center - Downtown. Amendments also update and clarify general Centers policies to be consistent with the new designations, and repeal the Employment Center - Transition policies. 3. Amend the official zoning map of the City to change the classification of property in the Urban Center -North. Property in the area bordered by the Cedar River to Logan Ave. N., and Lake Washington will be in the Urban Center -North 2 (UC-N 2) zone. Property in the area bordered by the Cedar River on the south, Garden Ave. N., N. 5th St., and N. 6th St. will be in the Urban Center -North 1 (UC-N 1) zone. 4. Adopt zoning text amendments to create two new zone districts, including use tables and notes, and development standards tables and notes. 5. Adopt parking code amendments to address parking needs in the UC-N 1 and UC-N 2 zones, and amend standards for shared parking and off -site parking requirements. 6. Amend existing site plan regulations to define applicability for development in the UC-N 1 and UC-N 2 zones, establish the name of the process as "Site Development Plan," and change references from Site Plan Level I and Site Plan Level II to Master Plan and Site Plan throughout Renton Municipal Code Title IV. 7. Make amendments to definitions in Renton Municipal Code Title IV. November 24, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 428 8. Amend existing urban center design overlay standards and guidelines to establish a new District C, encompassing the Urban Center -North. Provide guidance to accomplish quality urban scale development, define pedestrian streets, and achieve gateway entry features into the redevelopment area.* Responding to Council President Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry, City Attorney Larry Warren confirmed that the recent Planning Commission recommendations were included in the related ordinances. *MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.

Planning & Development Planning and Development Committee Chair Briere presented a report Committee regarding the 2003 Comprehensive Plan amendments and rezones. The Comprehensive Plan: 2003 Committee met on October 30, November 6, and November 13, 2003, to Amendments consider the recommendation of the Planning Commission for the 2003 Comprehensive Plan amendments and rezones. The Committee recommended approval of the Planning Commission's recommendations with modifications, as appropriate, as shown on the matrix entitled "Attachment A - 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments" dated November 24, 2003, listed as follows: • 2003-M-1 — City of Renton applicant; S.

CARRIED. (See pages 432,435 & 436 for ordinances.) November 24, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 429 Development Services: Hot Planning and Development Committee Chair Briere presented a report Tub (Spa) Regulations regarding the fencing required around pools and spas. The Committee discussed a proposed amendment to Renton Municipal Code Section 4-5-110C, Fencing Required Around Pools and Spas, to require a locking cover, instead of a six-foot fence with a self -latching, self -closing device, around a hot tub or spa. At the October 13, 2003, City Council meeting, Renton resident Sueellen Ebertz requested consideration of this amendment. The Committee discussed whether the six-foot fence requirement was an appropriate level of protection, or over -regulation by the City. Several other cities surveyed by staff do not require as stringent of protective measures as Renton for this situation. Staff noted that modifying the existing fence and latch requirements would reduce the level of protection for citizens. A locking cover is an excellent secondary protection device. However, it should not be the primary and only source of protection, as there is no assurance a locking cover would be properly secured at all times when a hot tub or spa is not in use. A six-foot gated fence, equipped with a self -latching, self -closing device, with the latch installed on the inside of the gate, does provide this protection. Staff agreed that the Ms. Ebertz' specific request would be granted through the Modifications and Alternates Section of the Uniform Building Code. This approval would be based on retention of the existing four -foot fence around the subject yard and the use of a locking lid system. The administrative modification approval would also allow for the existing chain link fence in place of a solid fence. This modification would provide for a similar level of safety protection as a solid six-foot fence, with no locking lid system. The Committee concluded that a locking lid cover by itself was not adequate protection for an outdoor hot tub. The Committee therefore recommended denial of the request for modification consideration of the subject City Code. The Committee further recommended that the Administration allow for the use of a locking lid system for Ms. Ebertz' hot tub in conjunction with the retention of the existing four -foot fence around the subject yard. This can be approved administratively through the Modifications and Alternatives Section of the Uniform Building Code. The Committee further recommended that this item be placed on the docket for future City Code revision consideration, to include the approved alternate of a locking lid system with a minimum four -foot fence.

Comprehensive Plan: 2004 Planning and Development Committee Chair Briere presented a report Amendment Pre -Application, regarding the 2004 Comprehensive Plan pre -application for the 2904 Maple 2904 Maple Valley Hwy Valley Hwy. site (Jones rezone). The Committee met on November 10, 2003, to consider the land use map amendment pre -application submitted on October 1, 2003. The pre -application requested a redesignation from Residential Options (RO) to Convenience Commercial (CC) with a concurrent rezone from R-10 to CC for 0.2 acres of property. Although the redesignation may not comply with some siting criteria for the CC designation, the Committee found merit to further investigate the application due to its unique history as a business site, its unique zoning for the area, and the fact that it has direct access to Maple Valley Hwy., offering future business development potential. November 24, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 430 The Committee recommended referring the 2904 Maple Valley Hwy. land use map amendment for consideration during the 2004 Comprehensive Plan amendment cycle.

The Committee further recommended that the ordinance regarding this matter be prepared and presented for first reading. MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.

MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY ' NELSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Transportation: Smithers Ave Transportation (Aviation) Committee Chair Persson presented a report S Traffic Concerns regarding the Smithers Ave. S. traffic concerns. Smithers Ave. S. is a narrow residential street, without sidewalks that carries an average traffic volume of 500 to 600 vehicles per day. Many of these trips occur during the hours of 9:00 to 10:00 a.m., and again between the hours of 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. when Talbot Hill Elementary School is in session. To address the safety and traffic concerns of the neighborhood abutting Smithers Ave. S., the City has prohibited left turns for eastbound vehicles from S. 23rd St. to Smithers Ave. S. during the above stated hours. In addition, to help accommodate the school traffic, S. 23rd St. was rechannelized to include a westbound right turn only lane for the Talbot Rd. S. approach. Although these measures have been moderately successful, there still remains the neighborhood concern of speeding traffic and pedestrian safety. To address these concerns, the Committee recommended Council direct the Administration to implement the following: 1.

As a demonstration project, install a speed pillow on Smithers Ave. S. to evaluate the effectiveness of the device to control vehicle speeds and the impacts to emergency response. The Committee further recommended holding the referral in Committee for further evaluation as to the effectiveness of these measures once they are installed.* Councilman Persson stated that a lot of time was spent reviewing this matter, and the proposal is supported not only by the affected community but also by the Renton School District. c *MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. In response to Council President Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry regarding the cost of installing a speed pillow, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman stated that the cost ranges from several hundred to a few thousand dollars, and he confirmed that it is not specifically budgeted for in 2004; however, money can be used from the street fund. Utilities Committee As he was not present at the Utilities Committee meeting at which the topic of Utility: Rates the utility rates increase was discussed, Councilman Corman asked Councilwoman Briere to present the report. Utilities Committee Vice Chair Briere presented a report regarding the 2004 water and wastewater rate increases. The Committee recommended approval to increase the water utility charges by 3%, and to increase the wastewater utility charges by 3%. The Committee further recommended that the ordinance regarding this matter be presented for first reading.* Councilwoman Briere explained that the Committee is recommending a small increase this year, rather than waiting until next year when a higher increase may be needed. *MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Councilman Corman solicited further debate on the matter, indicating that the Mayor is not proposing the increase in the 2004 Budget, Councilman Parker opposes the increase, and Council President Keolker-Wheeler, in the past, has questioned whether an increase is needed to fund upcoming projects. Responding to Councilman Clawson's comments regarding enterprise funds, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman confirmed that the utilities are an enterprise fund, are self-sustaining, and at times are supplemented by bond issuances to help pay for the Capital Improvement Program. The utility fund does not receive general fund money. Pointing out that the increase is necessary, Mr. Clawson indicated that the utility rates can be increased by 3% now, or at a higher rate in the future. Councilman Parker stated that the current state of the economy must be considered, and this is not an appropriate time to raise rates that will affect the entire Renton population. He added that there is no reason why money from the general fund cannot be put into the utility fund to pay for capital improvement projects. November 24, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 432 Council President Keolker-Wheeler acknowledged the importance of fully funding the utilities, and expressed her support to raise the rates in a nominal amount this year. Mayor Tanner confirmed that the City will not have to defer a single project if the rate increase is not approved; however, a larger rate increase will be necessary next year. He stated that although he is not proposing a rate increase, he is not opposed to one. In response to Councilwoman Nelson's inquiry regarding the dollar amount of the increase, Mr. Zimmerman stated that the average residential customer would see an increase of approximately one dollar per month. *ROLL CALL: FOUR AYES: KEOLKER-WHEELER, BRIERE, NELSON, CLAWSON; THREE NAYS: PARKER, PERSSON, CORMAN.

FALK ANNEXATION PUBLIC HEARING COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF R-8 PREZONING & ACCEPTANCE OF ANNEXATION August 4, 2003 The initial public hearing on this annexation and prezoning of it to R-8 was on January 271h, 2003. Initially started as a 13.66 acre annexation it was subsequently reduced in size to 6.43 acres and became one of the three annexations that went to special election on September 16, 2003. On the ballot, residents were asked whether they wished to be annexed into the City, whether property owners within the annexation area should be taxed at the same rate as other residents of the City, and whether they support Renton's proposed R-8 zoning. King County Records, Elections and Licensing Services reported on October 14t11, 2003 that all three items passed by 100%. Pursuant to RCW 35A.14.330 and RCW 35A.14.340 two public hearings are required on the proposed R-8 zoning. Tonight's hearing is the second on this item. The site is currently zoned R-1 in King County reflecting its County Greenbelt/Urban Separator land use designation. The County is currently in the process of amending its Comprehensive Plan and will show this area as Urban Residential — 4-12du/acre. The Sundance Subdivision, abutting the site to its northwest, is currently zoned R-8 and the County has recently zoned properties across 102nd Avenue SE to the east R-8. The Planning Commission has recommended that properties to the north across South 47th Street be rezoned R-5. The annexation site appears to have reasonable boundaries. The annexation site abuts the City on its northern boundary and western boundary. All abutting street right-of-ways not currently in the City are proposed to be included in this annexation. The site currently consists of two parcels and the abutting portion of the 102nd Avenue SE right-of-way. The fiscal analysis for this 6.43-acre site indicates that at full development with an estimated 42 dwelling units, the net fiscal impact would actually be a surplus to the City of $3,589 per year. There was also an estimated one-time cost of $23,442 for parks acquisition and development. The Administration is recommending acceptance of this annexation with R-8 zoning.

Vicinity Map). With annexation City of Renton zoning must supplant existing King County zoning for the subject parcel. R-8 zoning is proposed to replace King County's R-1 zoning, consistent with Renton's adopted Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. RECOMMENDATION: On the basis of the following analysis, the Administration recommends that Council: • Accept the 50 % Petition to Annex; and, • Prezone the 5.96 acre non -street portion of the annexation area R-8, pending annexation to the City. The initial public hearing on the zoning was held on January 27', 2003. The second required public hearing on zoning will be held on November 24 h, 2003. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The Council held a Public Meeting with proponents of the annexation on January 27', 2003. At that time staff presented information on the proposed annexation including utility service November 19, 2003 Page 2 providers, surface water drainage, and fiscal impact analysis (see attachment). At full development the estimated revenue above expenses to the City was $1, 376. Based on more current property values the net annual profit to the City would be $3,477 per year. A one- time parks/acquisition cost of $23,442 was previously noted. At this public meeting Council authorized, by resolution, the County to hold an annexation election for the Falk Annexation. It also held the first of two required public hearings on the proposed prezoning of the site to R-8. Zoning in the surround area is consistent with the RS designation. The Sundance Subdivision to the west is zoned R-8. The 55-acre WSDOT site to the north is currently zoned R-1 but is the subject of a proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment that would rezone 16.51 acres, including the area immediately to the north across S. 47`' Street, to R-5, and 13.88 acres further north to R-10. King County recently rezoned the parcels immediately to the east across 102' Avenue South to R-8. Most of the existing development on the east side of 102Id Avenue South is currently zoned R-6 in King County. King County zoning on the site is R-1 reflecting a prior Greenbelt/Urban Separator designation. The City Council approved a negotiated amendment to the Countywide Planning Policies last year that removed the Greenbelt Urban Separator designation from this area and created an opportunity for upzoning this site. The County is implementing this agreement by amending their Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation of this area from Greenbelt/Urban Separator to Urban Residential 4-12 du/acre with R-6 zoning. The Washington State Boundary Review Board for King County reviewed this application beginning on February 24', 2003 and issued their closing letter on April 11, 2003 approving the proposed Falk Annexation. The annexation election for this 6.43 acre annexation was held on September 16', 2003. This election was certified as having passed by the King County Records, Elections and Licensing Services Division on September 26, 2003. Those voting were unanimous is supporting the annexation, the assumption of their fair share of the City's outstanding indebtedness, and the adoption of R-8 zoning. CONCLUSION: The proposed annexation and zoning are consistent with the land use and annexation policies in the Renton Comprehensive Plan. The annexation was found to comply with the objectives of the Boundary Review Board. The registered voters within the annexation area unanimously supported annexation to the City of Renton and agreed to assume their fair share of the City's indebtedness as well as R-8 zoning. Fiscal impacts, except for a one-time park acquisition/improvement fee, were positive as well. The proposed annexation and rezone therefore appear to be in the public interest.

Del Rosario �lvs� 19December2W2 -� Proposed Annexation Boundary CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMORANDUM DATE: ( December 30, 2002 TO: City Council Members , President VIA: Mayor Jesse Tanner FROM: Alex Pietsch, Acting Administrator Economic Development, Neighborhoods, & Strategic Planning Department STAFF CONTACT: Don Erickson (6581) SUBJECT: Falk Annexation Resolution and Public Hearing on Prezoning ISSUE: • Should the Council support and initiate an election annexation for the 6.43-acre proposed Falk Annexation? • Should property owners within the Falk Annexation be asked to assume their fair share of the City's bonded indebtedness? • Should the Falk Annexation area, excluding public right-of-ways, be pre -zoned R-8 Zone? RECOMMENDATION: • Adopt a resolution authorizing an annexation election to consider the annexation of the Falk and Gustafson properties and abutting 102°d Avenue SE right-of-way to the City: ✓ Condition acceptance of the annexation on property owners within the annexation area assuming their fair share of the City's outstanding indebtedness. ✓ Require that the applicant reimburse the City for all King County costs associated with holding the election that are paid by the City. • Support prezoning the Falk Annexation site to R-8, Residential Single Family, 8 du/net acre. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The current proposed annexation was part of a larger (13.66-acre) annexation by the same name earlier this year. On March 4th, Council considered the 10% Notice of Intent for this annexation at a public meeting. On March 14th, the Washington State Supreme Court invalidated the "Property Owner Petition Method" of annexation finding that it "effectively grants owners of highly valued property a privilege not equally afforded to lower value property and nonproperty owning residents." The Court, however, let stand the "Election Method" of annexation. The, applicant, Falk Annexation Resolution/Prezoning 12/30/02 2 Steven Beck, has reduced the size of the former Falk Annexation to two parcels and the abutting — street right-of-way. Although there are only two registered voters living on these two parcels, he feels confident that they will support the subject annexation and agree on behalf of existing and future property owners of the annexation area to assume their fair share of the City's outstanding indebtedness. Although a petition representing 10% of the registered votes in the proposed annexation area was submitted on November 150', it was decided to proceed with a Council resolution rather than waiting for the County Clerk to certify the signatures. This approach requires that Council adopt the attached resolution finding that it would be in the best interests and general welfare of the City to annex the subject two parcels and abutting street right-of-way. The resolution describes the property to be annexed as well as indicates whether the City will pay for the cost of the election. The resolution calls for an election on two issues: 1)whether the area is to be annexed, and 2) whether property owners within the annexation area will assume a proportionate share of the City's outstanding indebtedness. This revised application, at 6.43-acres, is smaller than the former application of a year ago. It is still located at the corner of S Oh Street (if extended) and 102°d Avenue SE in King County and includes the northern two parcels of the former proposal. Additional information on this revised annexation is included on the attached Falk Annexation Data Sheet. ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION: (Pursuant to City Council Resolution 2429) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The annexation policies generally support the proposed annexation. The subject annexation site is located within Renton's Potential Annexation Area and is within an area seeing increased development pressure (Policies LU-378 and LU-379, attached). Renton's Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation for this area is Residential Single Family, which allows up to 8 dwelling units per net acre. Under King County's Comprehensive Plan land use designation and zoning the area is unlikely to achieve urban densities. It is currently designated "Greenbelt/Urban Separator" and zoned for one dwelling unit per acre. The City and the County have been in discussions about how to resolve this disparity. However, an agreement between King County, the Growth Management Planning Council and the City is now in place to remove this area from the Urban Separator in the adopted Countywide Planning Policies. As a result the City may rezone the property to a higher density upon annexation without contradicting regional planning agreements. Renton is the logical service provider of most urban services and infrastructure for this area (Policy LU-383, attached). Policy LU-388 states that in general, the greater the contiguity with the city limits, the more favorable the annexation. The proposed annexation is adjacent to the city limits along 50% of its perimeter. Policy LU-388 states that annexation boundaries should be "readily identifiable in the field". The proposal follows lot lines along its northern and eastern boundaries and existing parcels on its western and southern boundaries. There are no alternative boundaries to the south that would be more consistent with this policy, without substantially increasing the size of the proposed annexation. Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives: (from RCW 36.93.180) a. Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities: The proposed annexation would cause no disruption to the larger community. H.\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\Falk\Election Resolution Issue Paper.doc\jw Falk Annexation Resolution/Prezoning 12/30/02 b. Use of physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water, highways, and land contours; The proposed annexation follows city boundaries on two of its four sides, parcel lines on one side, and street right-of-way also on two of its four sides. c. Creation and preservation of logical service areas; With the exception of water and sewer service which are to be provided by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District, the city is capable of providing all urban services to the proposed annexation area. The City currently serves the area north of South 49 h Street and west of the proposed annexation. d. Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries; The proposed annexation has regular boundaries and is rectangular in shape. e. Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and encouragement of incorporations of cities in excess of ten thousand population in heavily populated urban areas. Not applicable. f. Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts; Not applicable. g. Adjustment of impractical boundaries Neither the existing City boundary nor the proposed new boundaries are impractical. h. Incorporation as cities or town or annexation to cities or towns of unincorporated areas which are urban in character; and, This area is designated for urban development in that it is located within King County's Urban Growth Boundary. i. Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long term projective agricultural and resource use by a comprehensive plan adopted by the county legislative authority. Not applicable. No portions of the proposed Falk Annexation area are rural or designated for long term productive agricultural use in the King County Comprehensive Plan. Although the King County Comprehensive Plan currently designates this area as Greenbelt/Urban Separator. King County staff in their role as staff to the Growth Management Planning Council agreed to designate this area for urban development and remove it from the Urban Separator in exchange for more suitable land at another location. The City requested that King County redesignate the area as Urban Residential — 4-12 du/ac with R-6 or R-4 zoning. Fiscal Impact of the Proposed Annexation: The project proponent anticipates future single-family residential development on the 5.96-acre non -street portion of the annexation area. Staff estimate up to 40 dwelling units with a population of 100 people could result. Estimated costs to the City based upon staffs most recent fiscal analysis indicate that costs would exceed revenues by approximately $679 per year over at least the initial years of the development (see attachments). H.\EDNSP\PAAWnn"ations\Falk\Election Resolution issue Papendocyw Falk Annexation Resolution/Prezoning 4 - 12/30/02 ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED R-8 PREZONING Consistency with City of Renton Rezone Criteria: 1. The rezone is in the public interest; Prezoning the annexation site to a zone designation that is similar to surrounding uses is in the public interest. Also, providing this zoning now, as allowed in RCW 35.A.14.330-340 provides better predictability for those voting on this annexation. 2. The rezone tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner; The prezoning of the annexation site will help ensure that the property owners retain development potential similar to that of other nearby properties having similar development potential. . 3. The rezone is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof, The proposed City's proposed R-8 zoning is considerable denser than the County's current R-1 (Urban Separator) zoning. It was determined through the Growth Management Planning Council review process that R-1 (Urban Separator) zoning is inappropriate at this location. However, the R-8 zone would be compatible with the County's R-6 zoning since Renton's zoning calculates density based on net acres and the County calculates density based upon gross acres. Assuming net density as 80% of gross density, the number of units that could be developed is nearly identical under these two zones. 4. The rezone meets the review criteria in subsections Flb and Flc of this Section, i.e. the property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested, pursuant to the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan, and, As noted above the property is potentially classified for the R-8 zone because it is designated as Residential Single Family on City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. 5. The subject reclassification was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning or, since the most recent land use analysis or area zoning authorized public improvements private development or other circumstances affecting_ the property have undergone significant and material change. Since the last area zoning there have been significant changes in the area with new subdivisions developing to the west; east and south. Also, the subject annexation site is within Renton's Potential Annexation Area and is designated for annexation under adopted City and County policies. CONCLUSION: The proposed annexation is generally consistent with City of Renton Comprehensive Plan policies related to annexations and Boundary Review Board objectives for annexation. No impediments to the provision of City services to the area have been identified at this early stage. In terms of future H.\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\Falk\Election Resolution Issue Paper.docyw Falk Annexation Resolution/Prezoning v 12/30/02 5 zoning for the site, the R-8 zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as well. King County staff and the Growth Management Planning Council have also supported the removal of the Urban Separator designation. This redesignation allows consideration of a higher density zoning for the site upon annexation. The fiscal impacts of this proposed annexation are also relatively minor with a one time estimated cost of $21,320 dollars for parks and an on -going annual cost of an estimated $680 dollars per year at full development.

H:\FINANCE\ADMINSUP\2_AgendaBills\2003_Year End Budget Adjustments Ordinance (clean up ord).doc City of Renton Finance & Information Services Department MEMORANDUM DATE: November 19, 2003 TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: Jesse Tanner, Mayor FROM: Victoria Runkle, Administrator, F&IS Department STAFF CONTACT: Victoria Runkle, x6858 SUBJECT: 2003 Clean Up Ordinance ISSUE: To meet final budget commitments and ensure that all Funds are within expenditure limits at year end, we must reappropriate fund balances to various funds and departments before the end of the year. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Clean Up ordinance in the amount of $9,176,407. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Attached is an ordinance commonly referred to as the "Clean Up Ordinance." Each year we review the financial issues of Departments and Funds. Generally, as long as there is enough appropriation authority at the Fund level to address any outstanding Department issues, the budgets are left unchanged. However, legally, all Funds must end the year spending no more than their appropriation authority. If there are any concerns, it is best to appropriate monies to ensure expenditures remain below their appropriation levels. In addition, there are Council actions occurring throughout the year that allocate funds for various projects and the budgets must reflect those actions. This year we are creating two additional Funds in the ordinance. The Water/Sewer Bond Reserve Fund and the Water/Sewer Rate Stabilization Fund were created when we refinanced our Water/Sewer Bonds. We must transfer monies from the our Water/Sewer Bond Fund to the Reserve Fund to set aside monies to guarantee we can meet one year's worth of debt service. We are not recommending the Rate Stabilization Fund have any appropriation at this time. The opportunities of this Fund will be discussed after the first of the year. Overview The following table illustrates the changes we are requesting by Fund and Department.

However, as highlighted in the descriptions of each request and on Attachment A, Estimated Available Fund Balances, there are usually offsetting revenues or new revenues to meet these new requests. Outlined below are the descriptions of each request. The original budget and the new adjusted budget are provided for each request. Attachment A is the "Fund Balance Sheet" that you should be familiar with at this point. The total requests are $9,176,407. Of this total $1,577,300 will be used to increase the General Governmental budgets. The remaining dollars are throughout the budget. The detail is important. General Governmental Funds. Police Salaries and Benefit Costs. In the 2003 Budget all monies to meet the estimates of all union agreements were placed in the Non Departmental Department's Budget. The appropriation was placed there because all contracts were still being negotiated during the 2003 budget process. In the Carry forward process we moved the appropriation authority for all Departments and Funds, with one exception — the Police Department. The Police Department labor agreements are now approved. The final budgeted costs will be $375,500. Again, salaries and benefits are calculated on a position basis. This means the $375,500 represents the true costs, if all positions were filled for the entire year. While this, of course, is not true, we budget on this basis to ensure we are comparing the true budget costs from year to year. We expect the Police Department to spend far less than the $375,500. In fact, by the time the year is over, the Police Department will have savings nearly the same amount. However, in order to reflect budget -to -budget costs, we are asking the department's budget be increased by this amount. Thus, the final budgeted numbers will be as follows: Department 2003 Budget Increase/Decrease 2003 Final Adjusted Budget POLICE $14,596,300 $375,500 $14,971,800 Fire Department. When we set the health care and industrial rate premiums last year at this time, we assumed health care premiums for LEOFF I retirees would be $481 without Medicare and $273 with Medicare per month. The insurance premiums now make no distinction and are $625 per month. This adds $140,000 to the Fire Department budget. Vacancies in the Police Department budget will cover the LEOFF I medical premiums, therefore no additional appropriation is necessary. The Fire Department, however, does not have this amount of money in their department in savings. Thus, we need to add $140,000 to their budget to cover these premiums. The same problem exists for Industrial Insurance rates. While we are "self -insured," we do charge the departments the premiums identified by the consultants to ensure we have monies to cover worker's compensation claims. Fire industrial insurance rates were budgeted at $.4734 per hour. The state increased rates to $.7637 per hour at the first of the year. This is costing the Fire Department an additional $60,000 a year. We have built this cost into the 2004 Budget. We must, however, meet this cost for the department in 2003. The Police Department will be able to cover additional industrial . insurance costs in 2003 due to vacancies. H:\FINANCE\ADMINSUP\5_IssuePapers_memos to Council or Mayor\2003 Clean Up Ordinance Issue Memo.doc To: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Council President Members of the Renton City Council Via: Jesse Tanner, Mayor November 19, 2003 Page 4 January 12003 2003 Final Department Adopted Budget Increase/Decrease Adjusted Budget FIRE $11,542,200 Carry Forward Add for Labor Agreement $440,500 Clean Up Request LEOFF I costs $140,000 Clean Up Request Industrial Insurance $60,000 2003 Final Budget $12,182,700 In the Non Departmental Budget, we have $305,200 remaining in appropriation authority to meet the anticipated police salary costs. We will lower this budget by this amount to ensure we have not overstated this budget. Also, this year we began two large Environmental Impact Statements, the costs of which are managed by the City. While the City pays the costs, this is based upon a reimbursable basis. However, because we expend the money, even though we receive revenue for the activity, we must increase the budget by the amounts we spend. Thus, we are increasing the Non -Departmental Budget by $800,000 for the Boeing EIS and an additional $200,000 for the Barbee Mills EIS. Again, there will be revenue to offset these costs. Department January 12003 Adopted Budget Increase/Decrease 2003 Final Adjusted Budget NON -DEPARTMENTAL $5,468,300 Carry Forward Changes for S/B ($1,642,900) Transfer for Strander $575,000 Decrease Authority for Police COLA costs ($305,200) Increase for EIS work $1,000,000 2003 Final Budget $5,095,200 CDBG Additional grant funds were awarded in 2003, more than was anticipated. We will increase the budget to reflect the new grant award amount. Department January 12003 Adopted Budget Increase/Decrease 2003 Final Adjusted Budget CDBG $303,800 Additional Grant Award $32,761 2003 Final Budget $336,561 Library Budget. In 2003 the Library is experiencing two unusual problems. First, in addressing some overtime issues, the Library had to spend approximately $22,000 in extraordinary overtime costs between 2001 and 2003. In addition, one employee was called for Federal Jury duty. Federal Jury duty is a significant commitment, and the Library used $10,000 of temporary salaries above their budget to cover the absence of this full-time employee. The City's policy is to continue to pay any employee their normal salary while on jury duty. Thus, there was no savings from this individual not being at work. While we generally believe the Library can meet some of these costs, the most conservative and prudent method of meeting these unusual needs is to add appropriation authority to the Library's budget. This ensures the Library will end the year well within their appropriation authority. H:\FINANCE\ADMINSUP\5_IssuePapers_memos to Council or Mayor\2003 Clean Up Ordinance Issue Memo.doc To: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Council President Members of the Renton City Council Via: Jesse Tanner, Mayor November 19, 2003 Page 5 Department 2003 Budget Increase/Decrease 2003 Final Adjusted Budget LIBRARY $1,435,100 Carry Forward Change for S/B COLA $45,200 Clean Up for Extraordinary OT $22 000 Clean Up for Extraordinary Jury Duty $10,000 2003 Final Budget $1,512,300 Miscellaneous Debt Service Fund. We have always budgeted our share of the annual payment for the construction of the new Valley Communications Center in Fund 316. However, this year the auditor suggested we begin to illustrate that in our Debt Service Fund. It is simply an accounting issue, and was not worth the discussion with them. Thus, we are adding the cost of the debt service for 2003, $275,000, to Fund 215. You will note a decrease of this amount in Fund 316, later in the discussion. This increase in costs will be met by "booking" more REET revenue into the Fund. The expenditure and revenue are illustrated below. Department 2003 Budget Increase/Decrease 2003 Final Adjusted Budget MISC. DEBT SERVICE Revenues $1,871,300 REET $300,000 Total Revenues $2,171,300 Expenditures $1,871,300 Valley Comm $275,000 2003 Final Budget $2,146,300 As you can see, for ease of allocation, and to be able to historically track the revenue, we are booking the total amount received in November - $300,000 to this Fund. As you will see, REET continues to do very well, and by the end of the year, we will surpass our budget. In December, we will book the last REET payment in Fund 316. Capital Funds Parking Gara eg Fund. During the year, the Council approved several changes to the Parking Garage Fund. The Council lowered the Parking Garage budget by $80,000 to cover additional Pavilion costs. As noted later, we have increased the costs to Fund 316 to permit this expenditure for the Pavilion Building. During the year, the Council also approved a $100,000 expenditure to add a police substation in the Garage. However, it is unnecessary to. add appropriation for these costs as the Parking Garage Fund has more than enough authority .for this expenditure. Once the expenditure level is decreased for $80,000 and the $100,000 is spent, the under expenditures in this Fund will be $1.5. million. This combined with the fact we have generated additional interest earnings, will result in an estimated $1.9 million fund balance.

Due to concerns with the former contractor on the site, the budget for the construction of Fire Station 12 had to be increased by $885,000. This was approved and we need to make the appropriation. As the Fund Balance report demonstrates, even after this appropriation is made, and with the amount of residential construction occurring in the City, we will have over $664,000 remaining in the Fund. Fund 2003 Budget Increase/Decrease 2003 Final Adjusted Budget FIRE MITIGATION Revenues $225,000 Additional Mitigation Fees $236,000 $461,000 Expenditures Bond Service $298,000 $298,000 Carry Forward Construction $3,336,800 $4,221,800 Additional Construction Costs $885,000 Total Expenditures $4,519,800 Municipal CIP Fund. As stated earlier, we are moving the Valley Communications Debt Service payment from the Fund 316 to Fund 215. This will lower the expenditures by $275,000. As stated earlier, we are increasing the authority in Fund 316 by $80,000 to permit the expenditure changes in the Pavilion Building. Also, as displayed, we have new revenue estimates in this Fund. First, our Real Estate Excise Tax collections will surpass our budget. In total, we expect to be about $500,000 or more above our estimate of $2.2 million. As displayed, we are estimating $288,000 in additional revenue from REET. Interest earnings are higher than estimated in this Fund because — as usual — we do not spend the money as quickly as we expect. We will generate an additional $100,000 from this source.

Of this total, we originally appropriated $385,000 in the 2003 Budget. Thus, we need to increase the Budget by $3,040,000 to ensure we have enough appropriation for the entire project. Of this total, the Airport will receive a grant of, at least, $2,752,000. It is to be 90 percent of the total project costs, but the definition of "total project costs" needs to be clarified for the Finance Department. We have, as usual, taken a conservative approach to this budget.

When we refunded the bonds, we created a Water/Sewer Bond Reserve Fund. This will help in tracking arbitrage issues, and insures to bond holders exactly what we have in reserves. We now must Transfer $2.6 million from Fund 451 and place it in the Reserve Fund. We have more than this amount in the Revenue Bond Fund for the sole purpose of reserves, thus it is simply a transfer of dollars. In addition we were required to transfer funds to the Escrow account for bond closing.

Equipment Rental Fund. As noted below, the Insurance Fund expenditures are expected to be $500,000 higher than budgeted, primarily for property and liability costs. In order to ensure the 8 percent and the $2.1 million in reserves are maintained, we are recommending we transfer $359,494 from the Equipment Rental Fund into the Insurance Fund. This requires we increase the Equipment Rental Fund expenditures by $359,494. Our target is to maintain $3 million in Capital reserves. We expect to maintain this reserve. As of October 3 l' the Fund had a $3.8 million fund balance. We are not legally changing the budget for the estimated under expenditures. Fund 2003 Budget Increase/Decrease 2003 Final Adjusted Budget EQUIPMENT RENTAL $2,991,200 Carry Forward SB $23,400 Transfer Out to 502 $359,494 $3,374,094 Insurance Fund. Our liability costs are going to be higher than budgeted by the end of the year. Because, again, funds cannot end the year with a negative fund balance, the recommendation is the Fund's appropriation authority be increased by $500,000. The largest expense in this Fund from now to the end of the year in liability costs will be trial costs for a dispute. With this assumption, combined with the 8 percent General Governmental Operating Reserves and the Anti - Recessionary Reserve of $2.1 million, the Fund may end with a mathematical negative fund balance of $359,494. In order to meet these expenses, the recommendation is to transfer $359,494 from the Equipment Rental Fund to the Insurance Fund. This will ensure the Insurance Fund ends with the full 8 percent intact and the $2.1 million available. Further, we do not know if we will actually use the entire amount of the $500,000 at this time. Fund 2003 Budget Increase/Decrease 2003 Final Adjusted Budget INSURANCE FUND $9,047,000 Carry Forward SB $6,500 Increase for Liability Costs $500,000 $9,553,500 Summary: The available Fund Balance Sheet, Attachment A, illustrates the estimated differences between the adopted 2003 Budget, with the Carry Forwards and the changes with the Clean Up ordinance. This also illustrates the estimates of revenues as of October 31. Finally, in a few Funds, we are estimating the lower expenditures. These changes result in the 2003 EST Available Fund Balances for each Fund. We are not changing the budget to account for any estimated lower expenditures. Thus, the spreadsheet does not represent the legal budgets in the General Fund, the Parking Garage Fund or the Equipment Rental Funds. Again, these are estimates to the end of the year as of October 31, 2003. As usual, these estimates are most conservative. H:\FINANCE\ADMINSUP\5_IssuePapers_memos to Council or Mayor\2003 Clean Up Ordinance Issue Memo.doc To: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Council President Members of the Renton City Council Via: Jesse Tanner, Mayor November 19, 2003 Page 9 Attachment A provides the estimates in significant detail. We realize this is difficult to read and understand. Attachment B is a summary of the detail highlighting the net changes to revenue and expenditures, the available fund balances, and begins to build the 2004 Budget into the analysis. Attachment B quickly identifies the "bottom line." CONCLUSION: The staff recommends Council adopt the Clean Up Ordinance to ensure each Department and Fund end the year with a positive fund balance. We do not expect the Departments to spend their entire authority and the "Available Fund Balance" sheet illustrates our assumptions of actual expenditure levels. We will end the year with significant available fund balances. I look forward to discussing these changes in the Budget with you. Please call with any questions.

Fire Chief STAFF CONTACT: Laiude, Fire Marshal (x 7028) SUBJECT: Fire Department Integrated Records Management Implementation Contract Extension ISSUE: In 1995, the City Council approved a 4-year Technology Plan. The Technology Plan's goal was to provide the resources necessary to address the City's infrastructure and information system needs. The plan has been completed with the exception of the Fire Department Records Management System. A Request for Proposal (RFP) in May 2001 resulted in the selection of Public Safety Consultants, Inc. (PSCI). The first contract addressed the initial phases of obtaining Fire Department Records Management software. Determination needs to be made on whether extension of the Time & Materials contract, for the year 2004, with Public Safety Consultants, Inc. fulfills completion of the final implementation phase and is in the best interest of the Fire Department, Information Services and the City. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The purpose of the May 2001 RFP was to "select a consultant to guide the City through the selection, acquisition, and implementation process..." Since October of 2000, a team of dedicated individuals including other agencies, City and Fire Department personnel, has worked diligently to develop the necessary information and documentation to facilitate hiring an appropriate consulting firm. The team chose Public Safety Consultants Incorporated to lead this project. Briefings have been given in the last three (3) years regarding the status of this project. PSCI has been at the fulcrum, bringing not only their technological expertise, but also their growing knowledge of the specific operations of the Renton Fire Department, and the necessary interfaces with other departments and agencies. They have performed their contractual obligations appropriately and thoroughly. They have worked closely with Fire Department, other City personnel, and outside agencies to assess the needs and guide the process of selecting a software vendor for the Fire Department. A contract was secured in May of 2003 with FDM, the vendor providing software. Since entering into the Time & Materials contract with PSCI effective January of 2003, the first year of the Implementation Blueprint has proceeded in a planned, phased approach. The software has been installed. Development work has proceeded with the involvement of FDM, PSCI, Fire Department, IS, and City personnel. Live application has started in November of 2003 for incident reporting. This contract extension of $74,349 with PSCI is currently budgeted in the 2003 through 2008 Capital Improvement Program. This budget includes a base of $72,240 with the remainder for contingency needs. Project Title: Information Services Division, Project Type: Development & Major Maintenance. Total project cost for the Fire Department Records Management Project: $475,000 per year for a three (3) year period for a total of approximately $1.2 million. The City continues to benefit from the continuity provided by PSCI implementing and integrating the program. PSCI, City and Fire Department personnel are dedicated to ensure the resulting system addresses the necessary requirements. RECOMMENDATION: o Recommend that the contract be forwarded to the Public Safety Committee for review and approval.

In the event that multiple employees request the same day(s) off, and the Employer is not able to accommodate all of the requests due to minimum staffing limitations, then the Employer will use the following criteria, in order, to determine who is granted the leave time: a. Requests submitted on an earlier date shall have precedence over those submitted later. b.

The Employer and the Guild acknowledge that the Employer has a legitimate interest in maintaining proper staffing levels for public safety purposes, and that employees have a legitimate interest in taking their time off at times convenient to them. The Employer shall have the right to set different short-term minimum staffing levels in all work units for special events.

Employees shall receive premium pay for longevity in accordance with Appendix B of this Agreement. Section B.

In 2003 the Employer shall pay the monthly premium for the City's self - insured medical plan and Group Health Cooperative Plan, for eligible employees and their dependents. For specific coverages, deductibles, co -pays, etc. employees and their dependents shall consult the applicable health insurance plan booklet(s). In 2004 employees in the bargaining unit shall receive the health care plan as approved in 2003. The program requires twenty-five dollar ($25) co -pays for specified medical services, ten dollar/twenty dollar/forty dollar ($10/$20/$40) co-insurance for specified prescription drugs and other benefits as outlined in the plan document. The monthly premium cost shall be shared by the City and members of the bargaining unit who elect dependent coverage. The employee shall pay monthly pre -taxed premiums, beginning January 1, 2004, depending upon the dependent coverage outlined below. One dependent $20.00 Two dependents $35.00 Three or more dependents $50.00 Effective January 1, 2005 the City members of the bargaining unit and their insured eligible dependents will be provided coverage under the plan as approved by the Health Care Task Force. im Police Non -Commissioned Contract 2003-2005 The City and union agree to jointly manage the program during the term of this agreement. A Task Force comprised of the Renton Police Officers Guild, other participating unions and the City will meet at least annually to review the program including costs associated with the program. Members of the Task Force are authorized to make changes in the program from time to time without further concurrence from their membership or the City Council during the term of this agreement. Each member union, (not bargaining unit), and the City shall have one vote when considering proposed changes to the plan(s). Changes in the program will be determined by a majority of the votes cast by Task Force members. A tie vote will result in no change in existing benefits. The City will provide a 100% City paid self -funded plan through December 31, 2003. The City agrees to contribute up to 107% of the 2004 premium toward funding the 2005program. Bargaining unit members may select Group Health coverage, however, City paid coverage in 2005 will be limited to 107% of the previous year's premium as outlined above for the self -funded plan. The City and the Union recognize the Program costs may exceed a 7.0% annual increase during the term of this agreement. If so, the Task Force of participating unions and the City will meet and decide what action if any is necessary to address program costs. If costs exceed 7.0% and the task force cannot agree on program changes to reduce the increase to at least 7.0% then the Union and the City will each pay fifty percent (50%) of the premium increase above 7.0%. The Union's share, if necessary, will be subtracted from annual salary increases authorized in this agreement TASK FORCE — Includes members of each participating Union. Each union member will have a maximum of one (1) vote, i.e. the Renton Police Officers Guild has two (2) bargaining units but only receives one (1) vote on the task force. The City only receives one (1) vote also. If all bargaining units participate the voting bodies would be as follows: AFSCME-2170; Firefighters-864; Police Guild and the City for a total of four (4) votes. PREMIUM — The self -funded plan is fully paid in 2003. The City will cover increases by up to 7.0% in 2004 and another 7.0% in 2005. Example — Premium equals $100 in 2003. City would pay up to $107 in 2004 and $114.50 in 2005. If there is no increase in premium in 2004, the premium for 2005 would still be calculated as if there was a 7.0% increase in 2004. PLAN CHANGES — The members of the Task Force have full authority to make plan design changes without further concurrence from bargaining unit members and the City Council during the life of this agreement. VOTING.— A tie vote of the Task Force members related to a proposed plan design change will result in continuing the current design. If no agreement can be reached on design changes and cost increases exceed the City's agreed contribution, then the additional cost will be split 50/50 by the City and the Members. Example — City takes 19 Police Non -Commissioned Contract 2003 - 2005 first 7.0%; Cost increases 15.0%; City pays 50% of the additional 8.0% and members pay 50% of the additional 8% UNION PAYMENT — If contributions are required from Union task force members, the contribution will result in a reduction of their respective COLA adjustment for any given year. (i.e. 2004 COLA may be reduced below 3.0% equal to union's share of medical cost increase above 7.0%). Section C. Life Insurance. 1. Each employee shall receive an Employer -paid life insurance policy equal to employee's annual salary, to nearest $1,000, including double indemnity and limited to a maximum benefit of $50,000. 2. Each employee's spouse shall receive a $1,000 group term life insurance policy. 3. Each employee's dependent shall receive a $1,000 group term life insurance policy. Section D. All employees will be enrolled in a city -sponsored long-term disability plan with a benefit equal to 60% of base salary after a maximum waiting period of 90 calendar days or exhaustion of sick leave --whichever is longer. The Employer will pay the premiums necessary to fund the benefits of the plan. Section E. The Employer shall indemnify and defend any employee against any claim or suit, where such claim or suit arises because such employee performs his/her duty as an employee of the Renton Police Department. The Employer shall pay on behalf of any employee any sums which the employee shall be legally obligated to pay as a result of that employee's reasonable or lawful activities and exercise of authority within the scope of his/her duties and responsibilities as an employee of the Renton Police Department. Indemnity and defense shall not be provided by the Employer for any dishonest, fraudulent, criminal or malicious act or for any suit brought against the employee by or on behalf of the Employer. Section F.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: Request Council approval to transfer $10,000 from the Morris Ave. S. Storm Improvement Project account to the Cedar River Basin Plan CIP's — Floodplain Mapping Project. The request for funds transfer is a result of additional delays by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in certifying the City's lower Cedar River levees and floodwalls. The additional funding is needed to fund anticipated additional work and staff time needed to complete the project in 2004. The floodplain mapping project was expected to be completed in 2003 and funds were not programmed into the 2004 budget. It is expected that transferred funds will be carried forward into 2004 to complete the project. The Morris Ave. S. Storm Improvement Project has been completed and remaining funds in the account are approximately $44,000. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Surface Water Utility and Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommend Council approval to transfer $10,000 from the completed Morris Ave. S. Storm Improvement Project account (account # 421.600.018.5 960.003 8.65.06543 5) to the Cedar River Basin Plan CIP's — Floodplain Mapping Project (account # 421.600.018.5960.0038.65.065220) to provide sufficient funding for the project completion.

The Surface Water Utility is requesting Council approval to transfer $10,000 to cover costs associated with the final phases of the Cedar River FEMA Floodplain Mapping Project. RECOMMENDATION: The Surface Water Utility recommends Council approval to transfer $10,000 from the completed Morris Ave S. Storm Improvement Project (account # 421.600.018.5960.0038.65.065435) to the Cedar River Basin Plan CIP - Floodplain Mapping project (account # 421.600.018.5960.0038.65.065220) to provide sufficient funding for project completion. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: As part of the Cedar River FEMA Floodplain Mapping Project (CAG 00-111), the City's consultant produced preliminary floodplain maps for the Cedar River between Lake Washington and Renton City limits in 2000. The draft maps indicated potential severe flooding across the Maplewood Golf Course and, subsequently, into the adjacent Maplewood Neighborhood. The newly discovered potential flooding problem was most likely the result of bank erosion sustained during flood events in 1995 and 1996. To address the potentially serious flooding problem, the Surface Water Utility and Community Services Department jointly funded and undertook a capital improvement project to reduce the existing flooding risk. The goal of the project was to reduce the flooding risk to the level prior to the flood events of 1995 and 1996. The floodplain mapping project was temporarily placed on hold until completion of the capital improvement project to incorporate the project benefits (i.e. lower flood risk) into the revised floodplain maps. The capital improvement project (i.e. Maplewood Golf Course Regrade Project) was completed. The floodplain mapping project was placed on hold for an additional reason, the February 28, 2001, earthquake -triggered landslide significantly changed the Cedar River system adjacent to Ron Regis Park. The changes to the river (i.e. new path of main conveyance channel) needed to be re -surveyed and then incorporated into the computer model used to develop the final floodplain maps. The request for funds transfer is a result of additional delays by the USACE in certifying the City's lower Cedar River levees and floodwalls. The additional funding ($10,000) is needed to fund extra work that may result as part of the USACE levee certification or FEMA review of the draft maps along with project management costs associated with completing the project. The floodplain mapping project was expected to be completed in 2003 and funds were not programmed into the 2004 budget. It is expected that transferred funds will be carried forward into 2004 to complete the project. The Morris Ave. S. Storm Improvement Project was part of an interlocal agreement with King County. As part of King County's Eastside Interceptor Sanitary Sewer Capacity Restoration Project, the City of Renton worked with King County to make City water and storm utility improvements in Morris Avenue. The Surface Water Utility has made final payment to King County for their work and the balance in the Morris Ave. S. Storm Improvement Project fund is approximately $44,000. CONCLUSION: Delays in the Lower Cedar River levee and floodwall certification by the USACE have delayed completion of the Floodplain Mapping Project. The Surface Water Utility recommends Council approval to transfer $10,000 from the Morris Ave. S. Storm Improvement Project (account # 421.600.018.5960.0038.65.065435) to the Cedar River Basin Plan CIP's - Floodplain Mapping project (account # 421.600.018.5960.0038.65.065220) to provide sufficient funding for the project construction.

The first motion was to add language restricting 'big -box' development south of N 8th street in District One. Many of us on the Planning Commission were under the impression that this policy was included within the current documentation, however, upon further discussion tonight we were informed that all of District One allowed 'big -box' type development. We were a bit surprised by this revelation since we had never seen this type of development in that area within prior diagrams. A majority of prior discussions were in regard to limiting 'big -box' to the east side of Park and did not mention the merits of the area closer to the North Renton single family neighborhood, thus we believe it may have been an oversight to not include this policy detail within District One . I would greatly appreciate your consideration and inclusion of this motion into the final rezone documents in order to limit the impact of District One development on the North Renton neighborhood. The second motion is one that I also personally support and view as a very important 'compromise', although I could not cast my vote in support of the motion since I was running the meeting. In the definition section of the rezone documentation the city has created separate definitions for Retail Big -Box and Retail Sales, with the only major difference being the need for a minimum of two stories in the Retail Sales category. I whole heartily believe that incorporating the Planning Commission's approved motion to incorporate only the Retail Sales category west of Park and North of N 8th Street in District One would create a more viable development concentration in that area through the look and feel of mixed -use. By incorporating this language the city would still allow the ability of 'big -box' retailers in that area, however the actual look and feel of the development would lead to a higher quality Urban/Pedestrian oriented environment. Once again, I would greatly appreciate your consideration and inclusion of this motion into the final rezone documents. We were also informed tonight that the current standards for this rezone include very little definition and standards around signage, 'pedestrian oriented' standards, building materials and landscaping. I strongly believe this process would greatly benefit from additional analysis and needs further consideration, however I do understand the need to have development standards in place by the end of the year in order to prevent additional development under current zoning standards. With that said, I would like to commend the City of Renton and especially the Renton Planning staff on their tireless efforts in trying to create the best possible guidelines under a very constrained timeline. If you would like to discuss any of these items in greater detail I can be reached at 425-277-0112. Thank you for your consideration. 5-6- 11jIvllams dive• S � 30 S Eric Cameron Renf0-1, W4 98,OSS Vice Chair- Renton Planning Commission CC: "Ray Giometti" <raygiometti@hotmail.com> CITY OF RENTON NOV 2 0 2003 CITE' OF RENTON RECEIVED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CITYCLERK'S OFFICE NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMORANDUM DATE: November 20, 2003 TO: Bonnie Walton City Clerk FROM: Rebecca L"ind, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Correspondence from Eric Cameron Nov. 19, 2003 Eric Cameron initiated the . attached comment on the Boeing Comprehensive Plan and zoning issues as an individual rather than at the request of the Planning Commission.

We recognize the substantial investment of time, energy, and resources that these documents represent. We especially like the following: • The City does a good job of laying out the processes and programs developed and implemented under the draft EIS. The sequencing of events is clearly stated and the work is thorough. • The mapping of the project area, aviation risk zones and the four alternatives for redevelopment of the project site are clear and understandable. • The City identifies next steps in terms of needed policies, zoning and development regulations. Documenting public participation and "showing your work" will be important to current and future legislative actions by the Planning Commission and City Council pursuant to this project. • Showing your work" and will be important components throughout the life of this project. We have some suggestions for strengthening your plan and development regulation amendments that we encourage you to consider either in these or future amendments: • As the city looks to future phases of this project, it may consider conducting a market analysis or targeted industry analysis to determine the business and industry types best suited to the city's demographics, existing business and industrial base, and ones that would support continued economic growth and diversification of Renton. Similar analysis have proven useful elsewhere in the state as knowing the location requirements, including City of Renton, Elizabeth Higgins November 20, 2003 Page 2 transportation and infrastructure of industries can influence the zoning and ultimate phasing of a project. For example, the City of Seattle is pursuing the biotech cluster along the south shores of Lake Washington. The city's research, analysis and consultations regarding that sector revealed that the industry requires specific ceiling heights for maximum operations. This discovery led the city to develop zoning regulations regarding building heights. An excerpt from the proposed development regulations for the South Lake Union area is attached for your information. Given that the Cedar River and Lake Washington are boundaries for the project area, there may be implications to the city's critical areas ordinances and shorelines master plan. We encourage you to build a record to define and substantiate your process for considering impacts to these plans. CTED's new Critical Areas Ordinance Handbook, available for downloading from http://www.cted.wa.gov/uploads/CA Handbook.pdf. This coming summer the Department of Ecology will issue new shorelines guidance as well. Consideration of critical areas will be significant not only because management strategies may impact buffers and regulations, but they may also affect other comprehensive plan elements, such as the ability to accommodate housing and employment growth. The city may wish to look proactively at the federal, state and local permits this project may call for. I am including a land use and environmental law checklist developed by Foster Pepper & Shefelman PLLC that was distributed at a recent Growth Management Law Seminar. Something like this would also help the city document process. The Port of Seattle uses a similar document and for major developments pursues permits in advance with the thinking that the permitting process raises issues that need addressing, and that it is more expeditious to revise an existing permit rather than pursuing a new one. Congratulations to you and your staff for the good work these amendments embody. If you have any questions or concerns about our comments or any other growth management issues, please call me at (360) 725-3065. Given that my role is to help build bridges between growth management and economic development, I also offer my services as a technical assistance provider to this project. We extend our continued support to the City of Renton in achieving the goals of growth management and in pursuing diversification of its economic base.

(Referred October 13, 2003) fil"TTOVED BY UTV COUNCIL Date The Planning & Development Committee has discussed a proposed amendment to Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-5-110C, Fencing Required Around Pools and Spas, to require a locking cover, instead of a six-foot (6') fence with a self -latching, self -closing device, around a hot tub or spa. At the October 13, 2003 City Council meeting, Sueellen Ebertz, of 3321 SE 70' Street in Renton; requested consideration of this amendment. Mrs. Ebertz recommends a code modification to, instead require locking covers on hot tubs and SPAS. The committee discussed whether the six foot fence requirement was an appropriate level of protection,or over regulation by the City. Several other cities surveyed by staff do not require as stringent of protective measures as Renton for.this situation. Staff noted that modifying the existing fence and latch requirements would reduce the level of protection for citizens .and the general public. A locking cover is an excellent. secondary protection device. However, it should note the.primary and only source of protection, as there is no assurance a locking cover would be properly sec{tired at ail times when a hot tub or spa is not :in use. A six-foot (6') gated fence, equipped with a'self latching, self closiigAdevice, with the. latch installed on the inside of the gate, does provide this protectooi:€,;, �a,, ..

COMMITTEE REPORT November 24, 2003 2904 Maple Valley Highway (Jones Rezone) Land Use Map Amendment (November 10, 2003) The Planning & Development Committee met on November loth to consider the 2904 Maple Valley Highway Land Use Map Amendment pre -application submitted on October 1, 2003. The pre -application requests a redesignation from Residential Options to Convenience Commercial with a. concurrent rezone from R-10 to CC for 0.2 acres of property at 2904 Maple Valley Highway. Although the redesignation may not comply with some siting criteria for the CC designation, the Committee finds merit to further investigating the application due to its unique history as a business site, its tui'ique zoning for the area, and the fact that it has direct access to Maple Valley Highway�offering future business development potential. The Committee recommends referring the 2904 Maple lUalleyYHighway Land Use Map Amendment for consideration `during theS2004:Comprehensive Plan Amendment cycle.

downtown which functions as a regional Urban Center. Office, retail and residential developments would be supported in the downtown. Manufacturing and industrial development would expand in the Valley broadening the City's economic and employment base. New centers would be created to accommodate new commercial and multifamily residential development outside of the downtown. Residential development would be encouraged in the neighborhoods surrounding centers. (See the Housing and Economic Elements for policies related to Land Use) REGIONAL GROWTH POLICIES Objective LU-A: Plan for future growth based on regionally developed growth forecasts and locally determined targets. Policy LU-1. Accept preliminary Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRQ growth forecasts as a starting point, but continue to analyze the impacts of these numbers as the Comprehensive Plan is prepared and implemented and the forecasts are revised. Policy LU-2. Use the preliminary forecasts for environmental analysis and to determine what capacity the City's land base and infrastructure can handle. Reassess infrastructure and environmental impacts as the targets change. Policy LU-3. Monitor and participate in growth target setting with King County and return to the City Council if there are changes. No changes in growth targets will occur without direction from the Council. Discussion: The amount of growth is important for planning because the Plan must be tailored to fit growth forecast by the Washington State Office of Financial Management and the Puget Sound Regional Council. The State Growth Management Act requires that communities anticipate and plan for twenty year's growth. These growth targets should be revised to be consistent with current forecasts and countywide planning objectives.

Policy LU-4. Future residential growth should achieve a maximum 50% multi -family housing in parts of the City located outside of the Urban Center. Policy LU-5. Infrastructure impacts of the goal for residential mix should be studied and monitored. Policy LU-6. Analyze the capacity created by the residential goal with and without the Urban Center classification. Discussion: Single family houses and apartments fulfill varied housing needs for different population and income groups, but each housing type has different impacts on the community. The City must identify a housing mix that adequately addresses and balances the needs of both the residents and the community as a whole. Objective LU-C: Maintain a high ratio of jobs to housing in Renton. Policy LU-7. Future residential and employment growth within Renton's planning area should meet the goal of 2 jobs per 1 housing unit. Policy LU-8. Analyze the capacity created by the jobs/housing goal with, and without; the Urban Center classification. Make refinements as necessary through Comprehensive Plan Amendments. Discussion: The ratio of new jobs to new housing units will affect the future character of the City. Renton currently is an employment center with a high jobs/housing ratio characterized by a high level of day -time activity, a high demand for infrastructure, a high tax base, and a high level of commuter traffic. Renton's current ratio ofjobs to housing units is roughly 2.1 jobs per I housing unit. Within King County, the overall ratio is about .1.5 jobs per I housing unit. Forecasts from the Puget Sound Regional Council indicate that there will be an even greater number of new jobs within Renton than new housing over the next twenty years. This will increase the discrepancy between jobs and housing units within the City. However, the number of housing units in the unincorporated areas within Renton's preliminary urban growth area (potential annexation areas) are expected to grow faster than jobs so that the balance of jobs to housing will be maintained within the City limits and the potential annexation areas. Objective LU-D: Designation of land uses on the Land Use Map should match capacity of the growth targets. Policy LU-9. Sufficient quantities of land should be designated to accommodate the 50/50 residential mix and supporting commercial and industrial uses, including or excluding the Urban Center. Discussion: Capacity is the room for growth provided by the plan. Excess capacity can encourage sprawl and discourage redevelopment in areas designated for urban growth. The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan should be tailored to fit the growth targets to avoid problems in implementing the Plan. H:\EDNSP\Comp Plan\Amendments\2003\Final Land Use Policies\2003 Final Land Use Policies (11-19).doc I-6 Revised 11/19/03 CITY OF RENTON LAND USE ELEMENT Objective LU-E: Adopt urban growth areas as distinguished from the existing sphere of influence line and City boundaries.

These areas will Countywide Planning Policies and urban growth determine where the City will grow and how map. services will be provided, and should be agreed Discussion: The Growth Management Act and the upon by both the City and King County Countywide Planning Policies establish urban Objective LU-F: Pursue designation of an Urban Center in central Renton that includes the Urban Center - North and the Urban Center - Downtown and links these areas to the regional transportation system. Discussion: The Countywide Planning Policies define a concept for establishment of concentrated centers for employment and housing served directly by the regional high capacity transit system. The establishment of an Urban Center in central Renton will contribute to the revitalization of the city core, maintain a high level of employment, and integrate the city center with the regional transportation system. RESIDENTIAL Summary: The purpose of the Residential policies is to provide a vision. for future development in Renton's neighborhoods and throughout the City. The Residential policies address the location of housing development, housing densities, non-residential uses allowed in residential areas, site design, and housing types in neighborhoods. (See Public Facilities Section for policies on schools, churches, and other facilities in residential areas. See Housing Element for policies relating to densities, housing types and neighborhoods) General Residential Policies Location of Population Growth Objective LU-G: Manage and plan for high quality residential growth in Renton which preserves open space and discourages urban sprawl. Policy LU-11. Future residential growth should be accommodated through: a. development of new neighborhoods in environmentally suitable vacant land on the hills and plateaus surrounding downtown; b. development of vacant parcels in Renton's established neighborhoods; Policy LU-13. Phasing mechanisms and/or incentives should be developed to promote the timely and logical progression of residential development. Priority should be given to development of vacant land with infrastructure capacity, which is located closer to the city's Urban Center. c. development of single family/multi-family Policy LU-14. Priority should also be given to mix neighborhoods in appropriate locations; redevelopment of land located in or closer to the d. new multi -family development located in city's Urban Center. Renton's downtown, as infill in existing multi -family areas, and in specified Centers; e. mixed use commercial/residential projects in employment areas. Policy LU-12. Residential development should be limited in community separator areas, and environmentally sensitive areas such as 100-year floodways, high risk coal mine areas and hazardous landslides and erosion areas.

Encourage a city-wide mix of housing types including large lot and small lot single family development, small-scale and large-scale multi -family housing, and residential mixed -use development. Policy LU-16. In established single family neighborhoods and new low density areas, encourage single family housing types. Policy LU-16.1. In areas bordering Center designations and in areas with an existing mix of residential use types encourage a mix of single family and small scale multi -family housing types designed to look like single family development with ground related entries, i.e. duplex, triplex, fourplex. Policy LU-17. Larger multi -family development projects are supported in the Urban Center - Downtown, Urban Center- North, the Center Office Residential and the Multi -family Residential — Infill designations. Policy LU-18. The City should encourage large lot single-family development in Rural Low Density designations providing a more rural life style in environmentally sensitive, habitat -valuable, agriculturally resource laden areas, or in areas providing a transition to the Urban Growth Boundary and King County Rural Designation. The City should discourage more intensive platting patterns in these areas. Policy LU-19. The City should discourage creation of economic enclaves especially where lower income units would be segregated within a development. Policy LU-20. Encourage enhancement and stability in those neighborhoods, which have significant numbers of legal non -conforming uses through the designation of Neighborhood Conservation areas. Policy LU-21. Within Neighborhood Conservation areas encourage developments, which increase the percentage of conforming uses to allow eventual transition of these areas. Transition of uses should be implemented in a manner, which recognizes the overall character of the areas while at the same time encouraging the eventual transition of the uses. Policy LU-22. Encourage the city and neighborhoods to jointly work toward identifying Neighborhood Conservation areas as needed. Discussion: This category is intended to be applied within one of the existing land use designations to help stabilize neighborhoods in transition and to revitalize and enhance their appearance. The intent is to establish policies and development standards for older, established neighborhoods that have a large number of non -conforming uses and structures. This designation is an opportunityfor residents and property owners to initiate added protection of their neighborhood. Residential Density Objective LU-H: Support the transit and transportation goals of the City by building toward a more concentrated and dense urban development pattern. Policy LU-23. New development within all residential designations except Residential Low Density should achieve a minimum density. The minimum density may be adjusted to reflect constraints on a site. Policy LU-24. New development within all residential designations except Residential Low Density should be platted in a way, which does not preclude eventual development at the required minimum density in each residential designation. Residential Low Density Policy LU-25. Small-scale home occupations that provide opportunities for people to work in their homes should be allowed in residential areas. Standards should govern the design, size, intensity, and operation of such uses to ensure their compatibility with residential uses. Objective LU-I.1: Preserve open space and natural resources and protect environmentally sensitive areas by limiting residential development in critical areas, areas identified as part of a city-wide or regional open space network, agricultural lands within the City, or in areas providing a transition to the Urban Growth Boundary and King County Rural Designation.

Policy LU-28. To provide for more efficient development patterns and maximum preservation of open space, residential development may be clustered in Residential Low Density designations. Policy LU-29. Deeds of lots adjacent to rural residential areas should carry a notice reading, "The adjacent lot maybe expected to have impacts Residential Low Density — Residential 4 du/ac Overlay Policy LU-32. Residential Low Density areas may be incorporated into community separators. Policy LU-33. Undeveloped portions of Residential Rural areas may be considered as part of the private open space network. Policy LU-33.1. Undeveloped portions of Residential Low Density may be considered as part of the private open space network. Objective LU-I.2: Establish a new Residential 4 du/acre overlay area within the Residential Low Density designation, as shown in Figure 1, as a means of contributing to the provision of a full range of housing opportunities and lifestyle choices within the community. Objective LU-I.3: Establish a new Residential 4 du/acre overlay area within the Residential Low Density Designation, as shown in Figure 1, in order to provide and protect suitable environments for suburban and/or estate style, single family residential dwellings. Policy LU-33.2. Within the Residential 4 du/acre overlay area limit maximum density to 4 units per net acre to encourage larger lot development and increase the supply of upper income housing consistent with the City's Housing Element. Policy LU-33.3. Ensure quality development by establishing development standards that address building design and landscaping issues. Policy LU-33.4. Development standards should support higher quality housing through provisions that encourage: a. A variety of compatible housing styles making up block fronts; b. Additional architectural features such as pitched roofs, roof overhangs, and/or decorative cornices, fenestration and trim. c. Building modulation; and, Use of durable exterior materials such as wood, masonry, stucco, or brick. Policy LU-33.5. Development standards should support the provision of landscape features that typically would not otherwise be provided as well as innovative site planning. Criteria should include: a. Attractive residential streetscapes with attractively landscaped front yards that are visible from the street; b. Decorative landscaping, preferably with draught resistant evergreen plant materials; c. Larger caliper street trees; d.

Policy LU-34. Net development densities should fall within a range of 5 to 8 dwelling units per acre in Residential Single Family neighborhoods. Policy LU-35. A minimum lot size of 4,500 square feet should be allowed in single-family residential neighborhoods except when flexible development standards are used for project review. Policy LU-36. Allow development at 9.7 dwelling units per acre on infill parcels of one acre or less as an incentive to encourage single-family small lot development on 4,500 sq. ft. lots. Policy LU-37. Maximum height of structures should generally not exceed 2 stories in single- family residential neighborhoods. Policy LU-38. Development standards for single- family neighborhoods (e.g. lot size, lot width, building height, setbacks, lot coverage) should encourage quality development in neighborhoods. Policy LU-39. Development standards for single- family neighborhoods should address transportation and pedestrian connections between neighborhoods and compatible boundaries between neighborhoods.

New plats developed at higher densities within existing neighborhoods should be designed to incorporate street locations, lot configurations, and building envelopes, which address privacy and quality of life for existing residents. Policy LU-40.1. New plats proposed at higher densities than adjacent neighborhood developments may be modified within the allowed density range to reduce conflicts between old and new development patterns. However, strict adherence to older standards is not required. Policy LU-40.2. Site features such as distinctive stands of trees and natural slopes should be retained to enhance neighborhood character and preserve property values where possible. Retention of unique site features should be balanced with the objective of investing in neighborhoods within the overall context of the Vision Statement of this Comprehensive Plan. Residential Options and Residential Planned Neighborhood General Policies Objective LU-K: Create new planned residential neighborhoods in areas mapped as Residential Options (RO) and Residential Planned Neighborhood (RPN) which include a variety of unit types designed to incorporate features from both single family and multi -family developments, and to support cost efficient housing, infill development, transit service, and the efficient use of urban services and infrastructure. Policy LU-41. Provision of small lot single family detached unit types, townhouses and multi -family structures compatible with a single-family character should be encouraged provided that density standards can be met. Policy LU-42. A range and variety of lot sizes should be encouraged. Policy LU-43. Central place public amenities should function as a focal point within the development and should include features such as a public square, open space, park, civic or commercial uses. The central place should include passive amenities such as benches and fountains, and be unified by a design motif or common theme. Residential Options Policy LU-48. Buildings should front the street rather than be organized around interior courtyards or parking areas. Policy LU-49. Non-residential structures may have dimensions larger than residential structures but should be compatible in design and dimensions with surrounding residential development. Policy LU-44. The dwelling types, including detached and attached units, should be clustered and connected within the overall development through the organization of roads, blocks, yards, central places and amenity features to create a neighborhood with diverse housing types. Policy LU-45. Development should occur on a flexible grid street and pathway system to the extent feasible given environmental constraints, traffic flow, and the pattern of existing development. Policy LU-46. Condominium ownership may occur in any unit type. Policy LU-47. Townhouse development should provide either condominium or fee simple homeownership opportunities. a. The area already has a mix of small-scale multi -family units or had long standing duplex or low -density multi -family zoning. b. Development patterns are established. c. Vacant lots exist or parcels have redevelopment potential. Policy LU-50. Residential neighborhoods may be d.

The net development densities should be 10 dwelling units per acre. If 100% of the dwelling units are detached, a density bonus may be allowed to a maximum of 13 dwelling units per acre. Policy LU-52. Minimum net development densities should be 7 dwelling units per acre. Policy LU-53. Detached single family housing, townhouses, and small scale multi -family units should be allowed in Residential Options. Policy LU-54. A maximum of 50% of units allowed within an individual RO development may consist of attached units, which includes townhouses, and small scale multi -family units. Residential Planned Neighborhood Policy LU-57. Areas may be mapped Residential Planned Neighborhood on the Land Use Map where the site meets the following criteria: a. adjacent to major arterial(s); b. adjacent to employment area and/or Centers; c. part of a designation totaling over 20 acres (acreage may be in separate ownership); d. site is buffered from single family areas or other existing incompatible uses; and e. development within the density and unit type range is achievable given environmental constraints. Policy LU-58. Density in the Residential Planned Neighborhood designation should be in the range of 8 to 18 dwelling units per net acre. Policy LU-59. A minimum of 50% of a project in the RPN designation should consist of the following primary residential types: traditional detached, zero lot line detached, or townhouses with yards which are designed to reflect a single- family character. Policy LU-60. Townhouses building clusters which qualify as a primary residential type should be limited in size so that the mass and scale within the cluster retains a single family character. Limits on the number of units, which may be attached in one cluster should be established in the development regulations. Policy LU-61. Longer townhouse building clusters or other multi -family building clusters, considered secondary residential types, should be limited in size so that the mass and scale of the cluster retains Policy LU-55. Development in Residential Options should be compatible with existing development patterns and be sensitive to unique features and differences among established neighborhoods. Development standards should reflect single-family neighborhood characteristics such as ground related orientation, coordinated structural design, and private yards. Policy LU-56. Non-residential structures should be clustered and connected within the overall development through the organization of roads, blocks, yards, other central features and amenity features to create a neighborhood. a small-scale multi -family character rather than a garden apartment development style. Limits on the number of units, which may be attached in one cluster should be established in the development regulations. Policy LU-62. The mass and scale of secondary residential types pursuant to policy LU-61 should not preclude their location adjacent to primary residential types. Policy LU-63. Projects in a Residential Planned Neighborhood designation should have no more than 50% of the units designed as secondary residential types, i.e. longer townhouse building clusters, and other multi -family buildings. Policy LU-63.1. Development standards should reflect single-family neighborhood characteristics and access to public amenities and services. Policy LU-63.2 Development Standards should reflect the following criteria: a. heights, width and length of structures should be designed to resemble single family housing, with similar setbacks from the street as single family; b. parking should be encouraged in the rear or side yards or under the structure; c. structures should be located on lots or arranged in a manner to appear like a platted development to ensure adequate light and air, and views if any, are preserved between lots or structures; H:\EDNSP\Comp PlanWmendments\2003\Final Land Use Policies\2003 Final Land Use Policies (11-19).doc I-12 Reyised 11/19/03 CITY OF RENTON LAND USE ELEMENT d. buildings should be massed in a manner that promotes a pedestrian scale with a small neighborhood feeling; e. each dwelling unit should have an identifiable entrance and front on streets rather than courtyards and parking lots; f, fences may be constructed if they contribute to an open spacious feeling between units and structures; and g. streetscapes should include green, open space for each unit. Policy LU-63.3 Mixed use development in the form of civic, convenience commercial development, or other non-residential structures, may be allowed in the central places of development subject to compliance with criteria established through development regulations. Residential Multi -family Infill Objective LU-L: Encourage the development of infll parcels in existing multi -family districts with compatible projects. Policy LU-64. Development density should generally be in the range of 10-20 dwelling units per acre. Policy LU-65. New development in Residential Multi -family Infill designations should be compatible in size, scale, bulk, use, and design with other existing multi -family developments. Policy LU-66. Design standards should be applied that reflect present development patterns and are sensitive to unique features and differences among established neighborhoods. Standards should address, but not be limited to: l) building height, width, and length; 2) front, side, and rear yard setbacks; 3) maximum lot coverage; 4) location of driveways, garages, and parking areas; 5) number of garages and off -site parking spaces; 6) roofline; and 7) compatibility with adjacent uses. Policy LU-67. Siting and design of new structures should be sensitive to site constraints and adjacent uses. Provision of adequate buffers or setbacks or scaling down building heights may be required to transition from Residential Multi -family Infill designations to adjacent lower density uses. Policy LU-68. Adequate green spaces, recreation, design amenities, signing and lighting should be determined as part of the site planning process. Allowable densities should be based on meeting these objectives. Policy LU-69. Residential Multi -family Infill designations should not be expanded. Land within the districts should be used to meet multi -family housing needs. Existing Residential Multi -family Infill designations have the highest priority for development or redevelopment with multi -family uses. Expansion of these designations is limited to properties meeting the following criteria: a. Properties under consideration shall take access from a principal arterial, minor arterial, or collector. Direct access shall not be through a less intense land use designation. b. Properties under consideration must abut the existing RM-I land use designation on at least two (2) sides and be on the same side of the principal arterial, minor arterial, or collector serving it; and, c. Any such expansion of the RM-I land use designation should not bisect or truncate another contiguous land use district.

Policy LU-70. Streets, sidewalks, pedestrian or bike paths in a neighborhood development should be arranged as an interconnecting network. The extensive or predominant use of cul-de-sacs and pipestems should be discouraged for new development. A "flexible grid" pattern of streets and pathways should be used to connect adjacent and future development. Policy LU-71. New streets should be designed to provide convenient access and a choice of routes between homes and parks, schools, shopping, and other community destinations. Policy LU-72. Access to and from individual residences should be restricted along primary arterial streets. In such areas, residential site design should ensure primary access to residences comes from collector streets. Objective LU-N: Promote development of attractive, walkable communities by ensuring that streets are safe, convenient, and pleasant for pedestrians and will visually enhance neighborhoods. Policy LU-73. Residential streets should be constructed to the narrowest widths (distance from curb to curb) feasible without impeding emergency vehicle access. Policy LU-74. Street parking should be considered for use as a safety buffer between pedestrians and moving vehicles and to reduce the need for on -site parking. Policy LU-75. Intersections should be designed to minimize pedestrian crossing distance. Policy LU-76. To visually improve the public streetscape and the safety of perimeter sidewalks Subdivision of Land and facilitate off street parking, construction of alleys providing rear access to service entries and garages should be encouraged. Policy LU-77. Sidewalks or walking paths should be provided along residential streets. Sidewalk or walking path width should be ample to safely and comfortably accommodate pedestrian traffic. Policy LU-78. Trees should be planted along residential streets. Objective LU-O: Create a neighborhood development pattern consistent with Renton's older neighborhoods and an interconnected road network. Policy LU-79. Land should generally be subdivided and blocks sized to minimize walking distances and provide convenient routes between destination points. Architecture Policy LU-80. Land should be arranged in blocks divided into lots with all lots required to front on a public street or a park. Objective LU-P: Ensure structures built in residential areas are compatible with the existing or desired character of established neighborhoods and the desired character of new neighborhoods. Policy LU-81. Architectural standards governing the design of structures in residential areas should be developed to ensure the visual compatibility of structures with the site and adjacent development. H:\EDNSP\Comp Plan\Amendments\2003\Final Land Use Policies\2003 Final Land Use Policies (11-19).doc I-14 Revised 11/19/03 CITY OF RENTON LAND USE ELEMENT CENTERS Summary: A Center is an area of concentrated employment and residential opportunity that provides necessary goods and services for daily living and is directly connected to one or more regional high capacity transit systems. Six types of Centers are envisioned. 1. Center Neighborhood is characterized by suburban scale single story development supporting less intensive land use than the Center Suburban and serving primarily the surrounding neighborhood. 2. Center Suburban is characterized by suburban scale two-story development supporting a medium intensity of activity serving multiple neighborhoods. Development within these Centers is supported by site planning oriented to automobile access and circulation along an arterial treated with a boulevard features or park landscaping. 3. Center Village is characterized by areas of the City that provide an opportunity for redevelopment as close - in urban mixed use residential and commercial areas which are pedestrian oriented. These areas are anticipated to provide medium to high -density residential development and a wide range of commercial activities serving citywide and sub -regional markets. Center Villages typically are developed within an existing suburban land use pattern where opportunities exist to modify the development pattern to accommodate more growth within the existing urban areas by providing for compact urban development, transit orientation, pedestrian circulation, and a community focal point organized around an urban village concept. 4. Center Office -Residential provides for large-scale office, retail and/or multi -family projects developed through a master plan and site plan processes incorporating significant site amenities and/or gateway features. 5. Center Institution provides clusters of medical or educational uses, which serve the surrounding community. 6. Urban Center includes two areas: Urban Center -Downtown (220 acres) and the Urban Center -North (310 acres). Together these two areas are envisioned to evolve into a vibrant city core that provides arts, entertainment, regional employment opportunities, recreation, and quality urban residential neighborhoods. The Renton Urban Center is envisioned as the dynamic heart of a growing regional city. Renton's Urban Center will provide significant capacity for new housing in order to absorb the Cty's share of future regional growth. This residential population will help to balance the City's employment population and thereby meet the policy directive of a 2:1 ratio of jobs to housing. General Policies Policy LU-82. Promote the clustering of Center uses and discourage the development of strip commercial areas.*` Excerpt from Glossary. Definition of Strip Commercial: Existing. an area occupied by businesses that are engaged in commercial activity and are composed or arranged in a line, usually along an arterial street. Proposed: An area occupied by businesses along an arterial street, located in one-story structures or platted lots and/or small shopping centers arranged in a line and set back from the street to allow front of store parking lots with individual driveway entrances and individual parking.

Support development of an extensive transportation system to reduce dependency on automobiles d. Consume less land with urban development e. Maximize the benefit of public investment in infrastructure and services f. Reduce costs of and time required for permitting g. Evaluate and mitigate environmental impacts. Policy LU-143.2: Establish two sub -areas within Renton's Urban Center a. Urban Center -Downtown (UC-D) is Renton's historic commercial district surrounded by established residential Urban Center Downtown Vision neighborhoods. The UC-D is located generally from the Cedar River on the north to South 7th Street, between I-405 on the east and Shattuck Avenue South on the west (see policies of the Downtown Element) b. Urban Center —North (UC-N) is the area that includes Southport, Puget Sound Energy Shuffleton sub -station, and the North Renton Boeing redevelopment area. The UC-N is located generally from Lake Washington to the north, Cedar River to the west, Sixth Street and Renton Stadium to the south, and Houser Way to the east. Policy LU-143.3: Establish zoning that creates capacity for Urban Center employment levels of 50 employees per gross acre and residential levels of 15 households per gross acre within the Center. Policy LU-143.4: Support developments that utilize Urban Center levels of capacity. Where market conditions do not support Urban Center employment and residential levels, support site planning and/or phasing alternatives that demonstrate how, over time, infill or redevelopment can meet Urban Center objectives. The Urban Center - Downtown is expected to redevelop as a destination shopping areas providing neighborhood, citywide, and subregional services and mixed -use residential areas. Center Downtown residential development is expected to support urban scale multi -family projects at the highest densities allowed in the City. These projects are expected to incorporate mixed uses including retail, office, and service uses that support transit and create a new synergism of public and private sector activities. In the surrounding residential areas, infill urban scale townhouse and multi -family developments are anticipated. Site planning and infrastructure will promote a pedestrian scale environment and amenities. Urban Center -North Vision The vision for the UC-N is to redevelop industrial land for new office, residential, and commercial uses at a sufficient scale to implement the Urban Centers criteria adopted in the Countywide Planning Policies. This portion of the Urban Center is anticipated to attract large-scale redevelopment greater than that in the Urban Center -Downtown, due to the large available land holdings under single ownership. In addition, this new development is expected to include a wider group of uses including remaining industrial activities, new research and development facilities, laboratories, retail integrated into pedestrian -oriented shopping districts, and a range of urban -scale mixed -use residential, office and commercial uses. The combined uses will generate significant tax income for the City and provide jobs to balance the capacityfor the more than 5,000 additional households in the Urban Center. Development is expected to complement the Urban Center -Downtown. UC-N H:\EDNSP\Comp Plan\Amendments\2003\Final Land Use Policics\2003 Final Land Use Policies (11-19).doc I-23 Revised 11/19/03 CITY OF RENTON LAND USE ELEMENT policies will provide a blueprint for the transition of land over the next 30 years into this dynamic, urban mixed - use district. The area mapped as UC-N is part of the visual heart of Renton. It exhibits significant advantages and unique amenities (e.g. centralized regional location, freeway accessibility, lake and river access, visual prominence, gateway nodes, and proximity to surrounding residential areas). Public investment in park and recreation facilities, an arterial roadway network, and facilities such as schools and government offices is also anticipated as the area transitions from an industrial employment district into a thriving mixed -use district with both a residential population and diverse employment base. Implementation of the UC-N vision is expected to occur over an indefinite period of time. Initialphases of development may reflect a lower intensity of use than anticipated long term. At the beginning of this transition, uses such as retail, research and development, or light industrial may be viable without the office and residential components that ultimately will contribute to the urban character of the district. Consequently, Urban Center- North development should be planned to allow adaptive use, infill, and redevelopment of sites in subsequent phases. UC-Nprovides opportunities for significant employment and housing capacity. Existing employment levels should be maintained. New housing capacity will be created as industrial areas redevelop. The anticipated urban form in the UC-N will reflect a comfortable internal scale forpeople who live, work and visit the area. Walkable block sizes and street networks will support creation of a substantialpedestrian circulation system. Sites designated UC-N are larger areas that allow a range of choices in site planning and can support a variety of land use activities. Development within the Urban Center- North will reflect high quality architecture and site planning that capitalizes on a waterfront location and other site amenities After 30 years, the UC-N matures into a district that complements the traditional downtown, where people from the community gather for a myriad of activities. Residential neighborhoods will be established. The area functions as a retail, business and entertainment attraction. Public areas have sophisticated urban art, plazas, fountains, and promenades that make the area an attractive destination.

The proposed Urban Center -North is divided into two districts for planning purposes. Each District has a different emphasis in terms of range, intensity and mix of uses. These are District One, east of Logan Avenue, HAMNSMomp Plan\Amendments\2003\Final Land Use Policies\2003 Final Land Use Policies (11-19).doc I-27 Rqvised 11/19/03 CITY OF RENTON LAND USE ELEMENT and District Two, west of Logan Avenue. The implementation of planning concepts for District Two will be dependent on decisions by The Boeing Company regarding continued airplane assembly operations at the Renton Plant. For this reason, initiation of redevelopment in District Two will likely occur after transition of the area east of Logan Avenue, District One, has begun. Consolidation of Boeing operations may cause certain property located within District One to be deemed surplus, making it available for redevelopment within the near future. District One is envisioned to include a variety of uses. The intensity of these uses would require substantial infrastructure improvements. More extensive development, ultimately anticipated with the future development of District Two, will likely require even more significant infrastructure upgrades. Redevelopment in both districts of the Urban Center -North will be responsive and protective of the North Renton residential neighborhood to the south. While the North Renton neighborhood is not a part of the Urban Center, its residents will benefit from the significant amenities provided by development of a new urban community. Redevelopment within both districts will occur in a manner that is not incompatible with the operations at the Renton Municipal Airport, recognizing that the airport is an essential public facility located within an urban area. Redevelopment within both districts will be consistent with the City's Urban Center -North Airport Compatible Land Use Program. The program responds to Growth Management Act requirements to consider how land use in the surrounding areas affects the Renton airport. The current supply of underutilized land north of N. 86' Street creates an immediate redevelopment opportunity for a first phase of development in District One. However, the industrial character of the surrounding developed properties, both within District Two to the west and the Employment Area -Industrial area to the east, will make it difficult to achieve true urban intensities in District One at the beginning of this transition. The overall Vision for the District contemplates much more than a series of low-rise structures with large parking lots. Therefore, it is important that this initial development facilitates later stages of investment as the neighborhood matures and property values increase. It is also critical that the early -stage vision for District One sets the stage for high - quality redevelopment in District Two. The following "visions" have been developed for each District. Vision - District One The changes in District One will be dramatic, as surface parking lots and existing large-scale industrial buildings are replaced by retail, flex tech, and office uses. Initial development may be characterized by large - format, low-rise buildings surrounding internal surface parking lots and bordered by a strong pedestrian - oriented spine along Park Avenue. As the Urban Center -North evolves, the buildings of District One may be remodeled and/or replaced with taller, higher density structures. Parking structures may also be built in future phases as in -fill projects that further the urbanization of the District. Two initial patterns of development are anticipated within the District: one, creating a destination retail shopping district; and the other, resulting in a more diverse mixed -use, urban scale office and technical center with supporting commercial retail uses. It is hoped that over time these patterns will blend to become a cohesive mixed -use district. In its firstphases of development, District One hosts for the region a new form of retail center. Absent are the physical constraints of a covered mall. Although parking initially may be handled in surface lots, their configuration, juxtaposed with smaller building units, eliminates the expanse ofpaving that makes other retail shopping areas unappealing to pedestrians. Building facades, of one or two stories, are positioned adjacent to sidewalks and landscaped promenades. Destination retail uses that draw from a sub -regional or regional market blend with small, specialty stores in an integrated shopping environment to support other businesses in the area. While large format ("big -box') retail stores anchor development, they do not stand-alone. Rather, they are architecturally and functionally connected to the smaller shops and stores in integrated shopping H:\EDNSP\Comp Plan\Amendments\2003\Final Land Use Policies\2003 Final Land Use Policies (11-19).doc I-28 Reyised 11/19/03 CITY OF RENTON LAND USE ELEMENT centers. Cafes with outdoor seating, tree -lined boulevards and small gathering places invite shoppers to linger after making their initialpurchases. Retail development takes an urban form with high -quality design considering a human scale and pedestrian orientation. While retail development will add to the City's tax base and create a modest increase in employment, the vision for the Urban Center -North is that of a dense employment center. Within the initial phases of redevelopment, job growth will also occur in high -quality, well -designed flex/tech development and low- to mid -rise office, lab and research and development buildings that provide attractive environments for companies offering high -wage careers in information technology, life sciences and light (clean) manufacturing and assembly industries. Redevelopment in this area will also include residential opportunities in low- to mid -rise buildings with upper - story office and/or ground -related retail. Additional supporting retail will also be constructed. Logan Avenue is extended and redeveloped for public use as a major, tree -lined parkway. During the second generation of redevelopment in District One, changing property values and further investment will allow for higher density development in the form of offices and residences mixed with other uses. As this area is transformed into a mature mixed -use district, community gathering spaces and recreation facilities to support the City's neighborhoods and business districts become viable. Cultural facilities, as well as convention and conference centers may be located within the District and could be incorporated into mixed -use development with retail, office and hotels. Small parks, open space, and community gathering places will be incorporated into site design. Facilities such as multiple -screen theaters and other cultural facilities may add to the amenity value of the District. District One Policies Objective V.5: Create a major commercial/retail district developed with uses that add significantly to Renton's retail tax base, provide additional employment opportunities within the City, attract businesses that serve a broad market area and act as a gathering place within the community. Policy LU-143.48: Support office and technology - based uses with retail uses and services along portions of the ground floors to facilitate the creation of an urban and pedestrian environment. Policy LU-143.49: Support uses supporting high- technology industries such as biotechnology, life sciences, and information technology by providing retail amenities and services in the area. Policy LU-143.50: Allow for the development of destination retail centers that are consistent with a district -wide conceptual plan. Policy LU-143.51: Encourage the placement of buildings for retail tenants along pedestrian oriented streets to create urban configurations. Policy LU-143.52: Ensure that big -box retail functions as an anchor to larger cohesive, urban - scale retail developments. Policy LU-143.53: Encourage a variety of architectural treatments and styles to create an urban environment. Objective V.5: Create an urban district initially characterized by high -quality, compact, low-rise development that can accommodate a range of independent retail, office, research, or professional companies. Support the continuing investment in and transition of low-rise development into more intensive, urban forms of development to support a vital mixed -use district over time. Policy LU-143.54: Encourage pedestrian -oriented development through master planning, building location and design guidelines. Policy LU-143.55: Support urban forms of setback and buffering treatment such as: a) Street trees with sidewalk grates, H:\EDNSP\Comp Plan\Amendments\2003\Final Land Use Policies\2003 Final Land Use Policies (11-19).doc I-29 Revised 11/19/03 CITY OF RENTON LAND USE ELEMENT b) Paving and sidewalk extensions or plazas, c) Planters and street furniture. Policy LU-143.56: Allow phasing plans for developments as part of the master plan and site plan review that: a) Provide a strategy for future infill or redevelopment with mixed -use buildings b) Preserve opportunities for future structured parking and more intense employment - generating development. Policy LU-143.57: Support parking at -grade in surface parking lots only when structured or under - building parking is not market viable. Policy LU-143.58: Support development of parking structures using private/public partnerships when market will not support structural parking without subsidy. Policy LU-143.59: Support surface parking lots behind buildings, and in the center of blocks, Vision - District Two screened from the street by structures with landscape buffers. Policy LU-143.60: Consider public participation in construction costs, to stimulate additional private investment and produce a more urban environment. Policy LU-143.61: Support shared parking by averaging parking ratios for a co -located and mixed -uses. Policy LU-143.62: Reduce the suburban character of development, preserve opportunities for infill development and provide for efficient use of land by setting maximum parking standards. Policy LU-143.63: Support the co -location of uses within a site and/or building in order to promote urban style mixed -use (commercial/retail/office) development. Policy LU-143.64: Discourage ancillary retail pads. Ongoing Boeing airplane manufacturing is supported to continue across District Two for the foreseeable future. This important industrial base will continue to provide high -wage jobs within the Urban Center — North as redevelopment occurs in District One. Should Boeing surplus property west of Logan Avenue, redevelopment that follows will take on more urban characteristics, incorporating mixed -use (residential, office, and retail) development types. Planning for the redevelopment of District Two will take into consideration the unique issues involved in the transition of a site historically used for heavy industry adjacent to the Renton Municipal Airport. Redevelopment will be consistent with the City's Urban Center -North Airport Compatibility Land Use Program. Eventually, redevelopment will lead to the creation of a vibrant new lakefront community providing additional housing, shopping and employment opportunities to the region. The South Lake Washington neighborhood will be a center of activity in the Puget Sound region —a premiere address for residents, a hub of economic activity providing capacityfor high -wage jobs and a world -class destination for shopping, dining, recreation and entertainment. Mixed -use projects will be high in design and construction quality, and offer landmark living, shopping, and working environments planned to take advantage of a regionally centralized location, efficient access, mass transit, potential passenger ferry connections, stellar views of lake and mountains, and restored environments along the Cedar River and Lake Washington shorelines. Development within District Two will be organized into neighborhoods with housing, shopping, employment, and recreation opportunities located within walking distance. Low- to mid -rise buildings will be located to the south while development to the north will be primarily mid -to- high-rise to maximize views. While some on - street or surface parking may occur, the majority of parking will be provided in the lower levels of mixed -use buildings or in stand-alone structures designed to blend in with the surrounding neighborhood.

EMPLOYMENT AREA Summary: These policies are designed to ensure that Renton will have adequate reserves of land as one tool in its economic development efforts. Adequate land is necessary to attract new businesses in an effort to expand and diversify the employment base. Diversity and Stability Objective LU-W: Promote diversity and stability in the employment base Policy LU-144. The City should endeavor to keep its present economic base, including the heavy industrial development, light and medium industrial users, supporting commercial and office land uses. Policy LU-145. The City should provide incentives including adequate land supply and land use guidance for new businesses and for existing businesses relocating within the City. Policy LU-146. Adequate amounts of land suitable for all types of industrial, light industrial, office and commercial uses should be available for present and future development. Using the growth assumptions, criteria for determining "adequate amounts of land" for the employment area should be based on the following. a. Commercial: Provide for local and regional shopping needs of the residential and employment sectors of the community. b. Industrial: Sustain the land use base for existing industrial users. c. Office: Provide for stand alone office uses, and offices that support industrial uses in order to reach future employment levels. d. Light industrial: Sustain the amount of existing uses and support technology and research sections. e. [REPEALED] Policy LU-147. Renton should play a leadership role in the state and regional economic and industrial development forums. Infrastructure Objective LU-X: Make efficient use of infrastructure. Policy LU-148. In each employment designation, an appropriate mix of commercial, office, light industrial and industrial uses should be supported. The mix will vary depending on the employment area emphasis. Policy LU-149. Employment Area designations should each have a primary emphasis but allow a range of allowable secondary uses. Policy LU-150. Small-scale uses should be supported to cluster to maximize their contributions to the community and their use of infrastructure and amenities. Policy LU-151. Sites and structures should be designed (e.g. signage and facades; building height, bulk and setback; landscaping; parking; storage and delivery areas) to mitigate adverse impacts on adjacent less intensive land uses. Policy LU-152. RESERVED Discussion: The mixed -use concept is intended to create flexibility in the development code. With changing technology and combinations of uses within one business campus, traditional land use classifications may be too restrictive. A flexible approach can facilitate business development and stimulate creation of nodes of employment activity supported by commercial and service uses. Renton's commercial retail land base has increased from 6.7% to 8.7% over the last few years whereas its industrial land base has declined from around 20% in the early 1990's to around 14.6% in 1996 H:\EDNSP\Comp P1an\Amendments\2003\Final Land Use Policies\2003 Final Land Use Policies (11-19).doc 1-32 Revised 11/19/03 CITY OF RENTON LAND USE ELEMENT Policy LU-153. Adequate infrastructure (e.g. roads, utilities, public services) should be in place prior to occupancy. Policy LU-154. As a priority, railroad transport should be supported as an alternative to heavy truck transport. Railroad facilities in industrial areas should be protected from adverse development. Policy LU-155. Developments should be supported to make greater use of the municipal airport, but only for aviation purposes (e.g. light weight express freight, business jet and charter services). Policy LU-156. Convenient transit stops, both along public streets and within employment areas, should be coordinated between major employers and public transit authorities. Policy LU-157. Lands with adequate existing infrastructure should be given priority for development. Environmental Quality Objective LU-Y: Maintain environmental quality at a level desired by the community. Policy LU-158. Local policies and regulations for hazardous materials and wastes should comply and be coordinated with federal, state, and regional policies and regulations. Site Design Policy LU-160. Developments should provide appropriate treatment (e.g. landscaping, improved building facade) along major arterials to mitigate adverse visual impacts. Policy LU-161. RESERVED Policy LU-162. On -site open space and recreational facilities in developments should be required. Policy LU-159. Land uses, which have been determined to be hazardous to the aquifer,should be phased out in Aquifer Protection Zone 1. New uses, which could be hazardous to the aquifer should locate outside Aquifer Protection Zone 1. Policy LU-163. Site design of developments should be supported to maximize public access to and use of public areas as well as shoreline areas in locations contiguous to a river, lake wetland or stream, where such access will not jeopardize the environmental attributes of the area. Light Industry Objective LU-Z: Promote the development of light industries in suitable locations. Policy LU-164. Light industrial uses which are allowed should be less intensive in order to maintain compatibility with adjacent uses. Policy LU-165. Light industrial uses should not create noxious conditions such as noise, odors, or Policy LU-167.

Also known as "in-law apartment." accessory units: a unit that is incidental to the principal unit and on the same lot. activity node: an area of higher density mixed land uses served by city-wide or regional transportation systems. adaptive reuse: the utilization of an older building which is no longer suited for its original purpose, but may be modified and reused for a different purpose such as housing. A common example is the conversion of older public school buildings to rental or condominium apartments. affordable housing: affordable housing is generally defined as housing where the occupant is paying no more than 30 percent of gross income for housing costs, including utilities, and meets the needs of moderate or low-income households. aquifer: a geological unit of porous and permeable rock, sand, or gravel capable of yielding usable amounts of water. annexation: the act of incorporating an area into the domain of a city, county, or state. arterial, minor: a right-of-way which serves as a distributor of traffic from a principal arterial to less important streets, directly to secondary traffic generators such as community shopping areas and high schools, and serves trips between neighborhoods within a community. Minor streets are more intensive than collectors, but less intensive than principal arterials. arterial, principal: a right-of-way which connects regional arterial to major activity areas and directly to traffic destinations. Principal arterials are the most intensive arterial classification, serve major traffic generators such as the Central Business District, major shopping and commercial districts, and move traffic from community to community. bicycle facility: an improvement designed to facilitate accessibility by bicycle, including bicycle trails, bicycle lanes, storage facilities, etc. block: the area formed by two facing block fronts bound on two sides by alley or rear property lines and on the other two sides by the center line of platted streets, with no other intersecting streets intervening. boulevards: typically a broad thoroughfare that is often separated by a landscaped median or center divider which has potential to function as linear open space. Boulevard designation would imply a higher priority for landscape, sidewalk or trail improvements. capacity: the ability to contain, absorb, or receive and hold employment or residential development.

Such charges are an extension of efforts to make new development pay for their impact on the community. Impact fees may also involve some effort to make new development pay for their impact on the community. Impact fees may also involve some effort to predict the total cost of the community for servicing the new development and relate it to the revenues that will be produced by the development once it is completed. impervious surfacing: a surface that cannot be easily penetrated. For instance, rain does not readily penetrate asphalt or concrete pavement. infill development: development consisting of either (1) construction on one or more lots in an area which is mostly developed, or (2) new construction between two existing structures. infill housing: construction of new dwelling units on vacant or underutilized parcels in built-up areas.

Usually used for larger, multi -unit parcels, PUDs are characterized by a focus on overall project design rather than lot -by -lot zoning, setbacks, and placement. Mixed -use, innovative housing types, open space and recreational facilities are often included. The process typically involves two-way communication between the developer and the community concerning design compatibility. lap tting: essentially a map of a piece of land which shows the location, boundaries, area, detail of lot boundaries, proposed streets, utilities, public areas, and all other necessary data to demonstrate compliance with subdivision regulations; state statutes provide for the recording of plats, and the selling of lots or parcels of land by referring to the recorded plat.

The volume is measured at each customer's connection to the distribution system. demand: The quantity of water obtained from the water supply source over a period of time to meet the needs of domestic, commercial, industrial and public use, and also fire fighting water, system losses, and miscellaneous other water uses. Demands are normally discussed in terms of flow rate, such as million gallons per day (mgd) or gallons per minute (gpm). The flow rates can be described in terms of a volume of water delivered during a certain time period. Flow rates pertinent to the analysis and design of water systems are: Average Daily Demand (ADD). The total amount of water delivered to the system in a year divided by the number of days in the year. This is further divided into average residential (ADDR), commercial (ADDC), industrial (ADDI), and unaccounted for (ADDN) demands. Maximum Month Demand. The total amount of water delivered to the system during the month of maximum water use. Peak Hour Demand. The amount of water delivered to the system in the hour of maximum use usually occurring during the maximum day. equalizing Storage: Equalizing storage provides the difference between the capacity of the sources of supply and the maximum demand rate (generally considered the highest use hour of the hottest day of the year). In water systems which service a large number of residences, the demand for water varies hourly and supply facilities are sized to meet the average rate of the maximum day demand. The maximum hour demand rate is typically about twice the average maximum day rate. If equalizing storage is not available to provide water during peak hours, the supply facilities and major pipelines would have to be sized for the maximum hour demands. However, during non -peak hours, much of the supply capacity would not be used. Instead, equalizing storage facilities are used to make up the difference between maximum hour and maximum day demand. The stored water is released when demand exceeds the supply, and replenished when the supply exceeds demand. In this way supply facilities and pipelines can be smaller than if equalizing storage is not available, and, therefore, lower costs for supply and pipeline facilities are obtained. fireflow: The rate of flow of water required during fire fighting. fire storage: Reservoir capacity required to meet fire flows. head: A measure of pressure or force by water. Head is measured in feet and can be converted to pounds per square inch (psi) by dividing feet by 2.31. head loss: Pressure reduction resulting from pipeline wall friction, bends, physical restrictions, or obstructions. hydraulic elevation: The height of a free water surface above a defined datum; the height above a datum to which water in a pressure pipeline would rise in a vertical open-end pipe. emergency or reserve storage: Reservoir capacity provided to meet emergencies such as failure of supply, pipeline, pump station, or power outages. ix-14 revised 11/19/03 ,LOSSARY ervice (pressure) zone: A water system subsection operating from one source at a common hydraulic elevation. turbidi : A measure of suspended particles in water. unaccounted-for water: Water that is measured as going into the distribution system but not metered as going out of the system. standby storage: Standby storage provides supply during fires, equipment failures, or power failures. Standby storage is seldom used, but obviously essential. The volume required for standby storage is determined based on the amount of water needed for fire -fighting reserves and other emergency conditions in the service area.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I. Section 4-2-020 of Chapter 2, Zoning Districts — Uses and Standards, of Title IV (Development Regulations) of Ordinance No. 4260 entitled "Code of General Ordinances of the City of Renton, Washington" is hereby amended by adding a new section, 4-2-020.S, to read as follows: S. URBAN CENTER -NORTH ZONES (UCN-1 AND UCN-2) 1. Purpose: The Urban Center - North zones are established to provide an area for pedestrian -scale mixed -use development that supports the residential and employment goals of Renton's Urban Center. The UCN 1 and UCN 2 zones are intended to attract a wide range of office, technology, commercial and residential uses. The overall, mix and intensity of uses within both zones will develop over time. Consequently, decisions made in early phases of redevelopment will need to take into consideration the potential for further infill and intensification of uses. The overall mix and intensity of uses is intended to create an urban rather than suburban character. The form of development is expected to use urban development standards and therefore, setbacks, heights, landscaping, parking and design standards are to be urban in scale and configured in a layout utilizing the street system to create a human -scale 1 ORDINANCE NO. pedestrian -oriented new center. Uses that support urban center development are allowed. Development is expected to include amenities such as gateways, water access, and open space. High quality development is anticipated, encompassing a mix of residential neighborhoods, shopping and employment districts and public facilities. The designation is also intended to allow continuation of airplane manufacturing and accessory airplane manufacturing uses as land area formerly occupied by those uses is transformed to combinations of retail, service, office, residential, and civic uses. 2. Classifications: The Urban Center North is divided into two zones: a. Urban Center North —1 (UCN-1): This zone is anticipated to be the first to redevelop from airplane manufacturing and its accessory uses. The district is intended to attract new retail, office, and technology related uses that co -exist with continued airplane manufacturing in the short run, but provide a standard of development that stimulates further investment and transition of uses in the longer term. Large-scale retail uses are allowed as anchors, which, when combined with smaller pedestrian -oriented development, create a quality regional shopping center. Residential uses are allowed in a mixed use format to support the office/commercial mixed use center. The UCN-1 zone establishes a gateway to the overall UCN designation and provides transition to industrial uses located to the east and low -intensity residential and commercial areas to the south b. Urban Center North — 2 (UCN-2): This zone allows continued airplane manufacturing and its accessory functions. Upon redevelopment the UC-N-2 zone is anticipated to become the core of the Urban Center- North. New development in the zone is anticipated to create distinctive urban residential neighborhoods, mixed use employment centers, and significant public open space and amenities. The UCN-2 zone is distinguished by redevelopment 2 ORDINANCE NO. that will be sensitive to and take advantage of proximity to the urban shorelines along Lake Washington and the Cedar River.

A. PURPOSE AND INTENT: The purpose of Site Development Plan Review shall be to assure that proposed development is compatible with the plans, policies and regulations of the City of Renton as outlined in the City's Comprehensive Plan and the City's Business Plan Goals. Site Development Plan Review may be used to analyze plans at varying levels of detail to ensure continuity of project concept and consistent implementation. Elements subject to this Section include, but are not limited to, site layout, building orientation and design, pedestrian and vehicular environment, signage, landscaping, natural features of the site, screening and buffering, parking and loading facilities, and illumination. Site Development Plan Review is divided into two types: Master Plan and Site Plan. Master Plan: The purpose of the Master Plan process is to guide phased planning of development projects with multiple buildings on a single large site. The Master Plan is required to demonstrate how the major elements of a development are proposed on the site at sufficient detail to demonstrate the overall project concept. In addition, the Master Plan must illustrate how the major project elements, combined, create an urban environment that implements City goals. An additional purpose is to allow consideration and mitigation of potential impacts that could result from large-scale site and facility development, and to allow coordination with City capital improvement planning. Master Plan review should occur at an early stage in the development of a project, when the scale, intensity and layout of a project are known. 2. Site Plan Review: The purpose of the Site Plan process is the detailed arrangement of project elements so as to be compatible with the physical characteristics of a site and with the surrounding area. An additional purpose of Site Plan is to ensure quality IN ORDINANCE NO. development consistent with City goals and policies. For those developments that do not require Master Plan first, Site Plan Review should occur at an early stage in the development of a project, when the scale, intensity and layout of a project are known. The intent of the tiered Site Development Plan Review process is to provide an opportunity to review projects at broad levels for the Master Plan and with increased specificity as development plans becomes refined to the level of Site Plan. Intent statements below shall guide review of the plans at a specificity appropriate to the level of review. 1. To promote the orderliness of community growth, protect and enhance property values and minimize discordant and undesirable impacts of development both on- and off -site; 2. To promote high quality design meeting criteria set forth in the City's Urban Center Design Overlay, where applicable; 3. To protect and enhance the desirable aspects of the natural landscape and environmental features of the City; 4. To ensure convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site and in relation to adjacent areas, and ensure that road and pedestrian circulation systems implement land use objectives for the zone in which the project occurs; 5. To promote coordination of public or quasi -public elements, such as walkways, driveways, paths, and landscaping within segments of larger developments and between individual developments; 6. To protect neighboring owners and uses by assuring that reasonable provisions have been made for such matters as sound and sight buffers, light and air, and those other aspects of site plans which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses; 19 ORDINANCE NO. 7. To minimize conflicts that might otherwise be created by a mix of uses within allowed zones; 8. To provide for quality, multiple family or clustered housing while minimizing the impacts of high density, heavy traffic generation, and intense demands on City utilities and recreational facilities; 9. To provide a mechanism to more effectively meet the purposes and intent of the State Environmental Policy Act; 10. To supplement other land use regulations by addressing site plan elements not adequately covered elsewhere in the City Code and to avoid violation of the purpose and intent of those codes. B.

If a public hearing on the site development plan application has already been closed, the modifications proposed by the applicant shall be administered according to subsection J of this Section. e. Denial of Site Development Plan: If the Hearing Examiner finds that the site development plan application cannot be made consistent with the general purposes and review criteria of this Section by requiring reasonable conditions, then the site development plan shall be denied. ORDINANCE NO. MERGER WITH BINDING SITE PLAN: 1. The applicant may request that the site development plan submitted for site plan review under this Chapter constitute a binding site plan pursuant to chapter 58.17 RCW, subject to the requirements of this Subsection. 2. In order to constitute a binding site plan, a site development plan submitted for site development plan review shall comply, with all applicable requirements and standards set forth in RMC 4-7-230. 3. All approved site development plans, including those constituting a binding site plan, shall comply with the applicable requirements, procedures, and review criteria for site development plan review set forth in this Section. 4. An approved site development plan that constitutes a binding site plan shall be recorded with the King County Department of Records and Elections and shall be subject to all other approval conditions included in RMC 4-7-230. 5. Upon the approval and recording of an approved site development plan that constitutes a binding site plan, the applicant may develop the property in conformance with that binding site plan and may sell or lease parcels subject to that binding site plan. MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO AN APPROVED SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN: Minor modifications may be permitted by administrative determination. To be considered a minor modification, the amendment must not: 1. Involve more than a ten percent (10%) increase in area or scale of the development in the approved site development plan; or 2. Have a significantly greater impact on the environment and facilities than the approved plan; or 39 ORDINANCE NO. 3. Change the boundaries of the originally approved plan. J. MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS TO AN APPROVED SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN: Major adjustments to an approved site development plan require a new application pursuant to subsection G of this Section. The review and approval shall rest with the approval body which approved the original site development plan. Major adjustments involve a substantial change in the basic site design plan, intensity, density, use and the like generally involving more than a ten percent (10%) change in area or scale. K. TIMING OF BUILDING PERMITS: Building permits shall not be issued until the appeal period for an approved Site Development Plan has expired. L. EXPIRATION AND EXTENSION OF SITE PLAN APPROVAL: 1. Master Plan: For a non -phased Master Plan or a non -phased Master/Site Plan combined approval, the Hearing Examiner shall determine an appropriate expiration date for the Master Plan which may exceed two (2) years, but shall not exceed five (5) years, and shall document in writing. An applicant shall submit a complete Site Plan application for the development within the specified time frame if a Site Plan was not combined with the Master Plan application. The Zoning Administrator may grant a one-year extension for good cause; provided, the applicant submits a request forty-five (45) days in advance of the original expiration date. 2. Site Plan: The final approval of a Site Plan shall expire within two (2) years of the date of approval. A single two (2) year extension may be granted for good cause by the approval body that approved the original Site Plan. The approval body may, however, determine at its discretion that a public hearing may be required for such extension. 40 ORDINANCE NO. M. EXCEPTION TO TIME LIMIT FOR SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN PROJECTS THAT ARE PHASED: Phasing Permitted: For development proposed on only a portion of a particular site, an applicant may choose to submit a site development plan application for either the entire site or the portion of the site. In the latter case, the application shall state clearly the area of the site and the proposed development, including phases, for which site development plan approval is being requested. In every case, the site development plan application and review shall cover at least that portion of the site which is directly related to or may be impacted by the actual proposed development, as determined by the Environmental Review Committee. 2. , Authority for Extension of Time: The Reviewing Official may grant site development plan approval for large projects planned to be developed or redeveloped in phases over a period of years exceeding the normal time limits of subsection L of this Section. Such approval shall include clearly defined phases and specific time limits for each phase. Expiration of Phase(s): If the time limits of a particular phase are not satisfied, then site development plan approval for that phase and subsequent phases shall expire. The Hearing Examiner shall also determine if such a phased project will be eligible for any extensions of the time limits. 4. Vested for the Purposes of Zoning: As long as the development of a phased project conforms to the approved phasing plan, the zoning regulations in effect at the time of the original approval shall continue to apply.

Examples: Example 1: A redevelopment project that involves a change from a single family home on a ten thousand (10,000) square foot lot with a five eighths inch by three quarter inch meter (5/8" x 3/4", a standard single family meter) that has a safe operating capacity of twenty (20) gallons per minute (GPM), to a commercial usage with a one and one half inch (1-1/2") meter with a safe operating capacity of one hundred (100) GPM can apply to pay for the following prorated charges: 1 ORDINANCE NO. (100 GPM — 20 GPM)/(100 GPM) = 0.8 For water: 0.8 x (10,000 sq. ft. x $0.213/sq. ft.) _ $1,704.00 For sewer: 0.8 x (10,000 sq. ft. x $0.126/sq. ft.) _ $1,008.00 Without the redevelopment credit, this project would have paid $0.126/sq. ft. x 10,000 sq. ft. _ $1,260.00 for sewer and paid $0.213/sq. ft. x 10,000 sq. ft. _ $2,130.00 for water. Example 2: A property owner is planning to redevelop a half acre parcel that includes a single family home with a five -eighths inch by three-quarter inch meter (5/8" x 3/4", a standard single family meter) that has a safe operating capacity of twenty (20) GPM.
