APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: 1. Land Use Element — Residential Single Family 2. Housing Element G. DEPARTMENT ANAL YSIS: 1. Proiect Description/Background The applicants have proposed to subdivide a 0.35-acre parcel into three lots. The property is currently developed with a 900 square foot single-family residence and a 750 square foot detached garage. Both structures would be removed or demolished as a result of this proposal. All three lots are intended for the eventual development of detached single-family homes. The lots are proposed at the following sizes: 5,448 square feet (Lot 1), 4,679 square feet (Lot 2); 4,989 square feet (Lot 3). The applicant is proposing to serve the lots from Morris Avenue South. Specifically, Lot 1 would have direct vehicular and emergency access from Morris Avenue South, while Lots 2 and 3 would be served via a 20-foot private drive (easement) over Lot 1. All of the proposed lots would be considered interior lots. The topography of the subject site slopes at less than 1% from north to south. The subject site is predominately vegetated with grass lawn and two ornamental trees, which would be removed as a result of this proposal. No critical areas were found at the subject site during the review of this application. 2. Environmental Review Except when located on lands covered by water or critical areas, short plats are exempt from SEPA Environmental Review pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(6)(a). 3. Compliance with ERC Conditions N/A 4. Staff Review Comments Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address issues raised by the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report. 5. Consistency Short Plat Criteria Approval of a plat is based upon several factors. The following short plat criteria have been established to assist decision -makers in the review of the plat: a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Designation The site is designated Residential Single Family (RSF) on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The RSF designation is intended to promote and enhance single-family neighborhoods. The proposal is consistent with the RSF designation in that it would allow for the future construction of new single-family homes, thereby promoting goals of infill development. The proposal is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Housing Element policies: 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. The applicant has proposed three lots that range in size from 4,679 square feet to 5,448 square feet. Policy LU-36. Allowable developments 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. The subject site is less than one-half an acre in size. As such, the net density of the proposed subdivision is 8.6 dwelling units per acre, which is within the density range prescribed. Policy H-4. Encourage infill development as a means to increase capacity. shpltrpt.doc City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action REPORT AND DECISION DATED June 13, 2003; PROJECT LUA-03-047, SHPL-A Page 4 The proposal would create two additional residential lots, thereby increasing density within a currently developed residential area. b) Compliance with the Underlying Zoning Designation The subject site is designated Residential — 8 Dwelling Units per Acre (R-8) on the City of Renton Zoning Map. The proposed development would allow for the future construction of two new single- family dwelling units. The allowed density range in the R-8 zone is a minimum of 5.0 to a maximum of 9.7 dwelling units per acre for lots one-half an acre or less in net size. Net density is calculated after the deduction of sensitive areas, areas intended for public right-of-way, and private easements serving 3 lots or more lots from the gross acreage of the site. The property does not contain any environmentally sensitive areas nor areas required for right-of-way dedication or private drives serving more than three units. Therefore, the net site area of the proposal is the same as the gross property area (15,116 square feet or 0.35 acres). This in turn, equates to a net density of 8.6 dwelling units per acre (3 / 0.35 = 8.6 du/ac), which is under the maximum (9.7) allowed within the R-8 zone. The allowed building lot coverage in the R-8 zone is 35 percent or 2,500 square feet whichever is greater for lots over 5,000 square feet in size and, lots 5,000 square feet or less are allowed to have up to 50% lot coverage. At the time of building permit submittal, staff will verify the lot coverage for all three lots. Setbacks in the R-8 zone are as follows: front yard 20 feet, side yard 5 feet, side yard along a street 15 feet, and rear yard 20 feet. While no building construction is planned at this time, the lots appear to have adequate area to provide for new single-family residences while meeting the required setbacks and lot coverage. In addition, each lot appears to have adequate area to provide two off-street parking spaces as required by the parking regulations (these development standards would be reviewed with the building permit). c) Compliance with Subdivision Regulations Streets: No new public streets would be created as part of the proposed short plat. The Subdivision Regulations require the installation of full street improvements, including curb, gutter, 6-foot sidewalk, and half -street pavement along the site's subject streets (RMC section 4-6- 060), unless previously installed or waived or deferred through the City of Renton Board of Public Works. As there are no curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements fronting the site along Morris Avenue South, the applicant would be required to install those improvements as a code related condition of short plat approval. However, the applicant may request a waiver or deferral from the City's Board of Pubic Works. The proposed subdivision is anticipated to generate additional traffic on the City's street system. In order to mitigate transportation impacts, staff recommends a condition of approval be placed on the project requiring a Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per net new average daily trip attributed to the project. The two additional lots are expected to generate approximately 9.57 new average weekday trips per single-family residence. The fee for the proposed short plat is estimated at $1,435.50 ($75.00 x 9.57 trips x 2 = $1,435.50) with credit given for the existing single-family residence and is payable prior to the recording of the short plat. Blocks: No new blocks will be created as part of the proposed short plat. Lots: The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone is 4,500 square feet. The short plat would create three lots, which are proposed at 5,448 square feet (Lot 1), 4,679 square feet (Lot 2) and 4,989 square feet (Lot 3). The proposed lot sizes are compatible with other existing lots in this area of the City under the same R-8 zoning classification. The proposed lots also comply with the R-8 requirements for minimum lot width (60 feet for corner lots and 50 feet for interior lots) as well as minimum lot depth (65 feet). Specifically, the lot widths range from 65 feet to 73 feet and lot depths range from 71 feet to 75 feet. All three of the proposed lots (interior lots) appears to have adequate building area for the construction of a single- family residence when taking setbacks and lot coverage requirements into consideration. The size, shape, orientation, and arrangement of the proposed lots comply with the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations and the development standards of the R-8 zone. In addition, each lot would have vehicular and emergency access to a public street via Morris Avenue South. shpltrpt. doc City of Renton PB/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action REPORT AND DECISION DATED June 13, 2003; PROJECT LUA-03-047, SHPL-A Page 5 d) Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries Access: Each lot would have access to a public right-of-way (Morris Avenue South). Specifically, Lot 1 would have direct emergency and vehicular access to Morris Avenue South, while Lots 2 & 3 would receive access from a 20-foot wide easement over Lot 1. As Lot 1 (abutting Morris Avenue South) is only 73 feet in width, staff recommends a condition of short plat approval requiring Lot 1 to utilize the 20-foot wide easement for vehicular access onto Morris Avenue South. Staff also recommends that this condition be placed on the face of the final short plat prior to recording. Finally, as Lots 2 and 3 would be accessed from a private drive over Lot 1 and may not be visible from the street, staff recommends that the applicant be required to erect a street address sign that would be visible from Morris Avenue South. Topography: The topography of the site slopes to the north at an average slope of less than 1 %. The property is vegetated with grass lawn; field grass and 2 ornamental trees. In order to locate the access and utility easement and to create suitable building pads for the future single-family homes, the applicant has proposed to remove the two trees as well as the majority of the grass lawn. As the subject site is relatively flat and limited grading is necessary, the applicant was not required to submit a preliminary Geotechnical Report. However, as some grading will be necessary, potential erosion impacts may occur during project construction; therefore, staff recommends the following two erosion control measures as conditions of project approval: 1)The applicant shall install a construction fence and silt fence along the down slope perimeter of the site. The silt fence shall be in place before clearing and grading is initiated. 2) The applicant's contractor shall perform daily inspections of the erosion control system and provide any recommendations regarding modification or redesign to the inspector of record. These conditions would ensure that neighboring properties would be protected from any stormwater erosion impacts generated from the proposal. Relationship to Existing Uses: The properties surrounding the subject site are designated Residential — 8 Dwelling Units Per Acre (R-8) on the City's zoning map. The proposal is similar to existing development patterns in the area and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code, which encourage residential infill development. Moreover, as redevelopment occurs in this area of the city, many of the nearby lots have been platted into smaller infill lots ranging from 4,500 square feet to 6,500 square feet in size. e) Availability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness) Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicate that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development, subject to the condition that the applicant provide Code required improvements, and mitigation fees. Therefore, staff recommends a Fire Mitigation Fee, based on $488.00 per new single-family lot, which would mitigate the proposal's potential impacts on the City's emergency services. The fee is estimated at $976.00 ($488 x 2 = $976.00) with credit given for the existing single-family residence and is payable prior to the recording of the short plat. Recreation: The proposal does not provide on -site recreation areas for future residents of the proposed short plat. In order to offset the additional demand on future park facilities generated from this development, staff recommends a Park Mitigation Fee. This fee would go towards creating new trails and facilities that may be utilized by future residents within the project site. As such, staff recommends a condition of short plat approval requiring the applicant to pay a Parks Mitigation Fee of $530.76 per new single-family lot, with credit given for the existing single-family residence. The fee is estimated at $1,061.52 ($530.76 x 2 = $1,061.52) and is payable prior to the recording of the short plat. Schools: According to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Renton Land Use Element (January 16, 1992), the City of Renton has a student generation factor of 0.44 students per single-family residential dwelling. Therefore, it is anticipated that the proposed short plat would result in 0.88 (0.44 X 2 = 0.88) new children to the local schools (Talbot Hill Elementary School, Dimmitt Middle School, and Renton High School). The Renton School District has indicated they can accommodate the additional student generated by this proposal. Streets: The subject site is located adjacent to Morris Avenue South. No additional streets are required as part of this proposal. Nevertheless, the applicant would be required to pay a Traffic shpltrpt. doc City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action REPORT AND DECISION DATED June 13, 2003; PROJECT LUA-03-047, SHPL-A Page 6 Mitigation Fee in the amount of $75.00 per each new trip generated by the proposal prior to the recording of the short plat. Please see above discussion regarding "Streets." Storm Water. There are no storm water facilities adjacent to the subject site within Morris Avenue South. A drainage narrative was submitted with the application and has been reviewed by the City of Renton's Plan Review Section. The drainage plan will be required to meet the 1990 King County Storm Water Design Manual prior to project construction. A Surface Water System Development Charge of $525.00 per new single-family lot would be collected as part of the construction permit or prior to the recording of the short plat. Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities: There is an existing 4-inch water main and 8-inch sewer main located in Morris Avenue South. Per code, the applicant would be required to provide a fire hydrant within 300 feet of the farthest lot, capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 gallons per minute (gpm). Therefore, staff recommends that the applicant be required to install an 8-inch water main from South 15`h Street and a fire hydrant to provide 1000 gpm within 300 feet of proposed Lot 3 prior to short plat recording. Staff also recommends that the applicant be required to install separate water meter box connections for each new building lot prior to final short plat recording. A Water System Development Charge of $1,105 per new single-family lot, as well as a Sewer System Development Charge of $760.00 per new single-family lot, would be collected as part of the construction permit or prior to the recording of the short plat. Finally, in order to ensure separate side -sewer stubs are installed prior to final short plat approval, staff recommends that the applicant be required to install the new side sewer stub -out connections prior to final plat recording. This condition would ensure the design, location and installation of the sewer stubs would be acceptable and completed in a timely fashion. H.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Refer this item to the Planning and Development Committee to provide guidance to staff regarding necessary sign code amendments within the Auto Mall area. Rentonnet/agnbill/ bb CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: February 16, 2004 TO: Don Persson, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: jt Mayor Kathy Keolker-Wheeler FROM: Alex Pietsch, EDNSP Administrator STAFF CONTACT: Gil Cerise, x6578 SUBJECT: Auto Mall Sign Height Code Amendments ISSUE: Auto dealers within the Auto Mall are concerned about their visibility from nearby freeways and arterials. Existing sign code governing signs within the Auto Mall area limit maximum height to 40 feet within this area. Area dealers feel that 50 feet sign heights would improve their visibility from surrounding freeways and arterials. RECOMMENDATION: • Amend the portion of the sign code applicable to motor vehicle dealerships over one acre of contiguous ownership or control located within the Auto Mall Area to permit maximum sign heights of 50 feet. • Set an open public hearing date before the City Council for Monday, March 22, 2004. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Existing Conditions. Auto dealers within the Auto Mall are concerned about their visibility from nearby freeways and arterials. Existing sign code governing signs within the Auto Mall area state that a freestanding sign may be a maximum of 40 feet or the height permitted within the zone, whichever is less. The zone that predominates within the Auto Mall Area is the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone with a maximum height of 50 feet. Therefore, maximum sign heights are 10 feet lower than maximum building heights. The Auto Mall was created at the junction of I-405 and SR-167 in order to increase visibility of and improve access to auto dealerships in Renton for the regional market. Since its inception, the Auto Mall has proved to be an economic asset to the City. With increased concerns over visibility heard from auto dealerships in the area, staff believes that a modest height increase for auto dealership signs in this area will help retain existing businesses and promote additional economic development for the City. February 16, 2004 Page 2 Potential Code Amendments. Staff suggests amending the portion of the sign code applicable to motor vehicle dealerships with over one acre of contiguous ownership or control located within the Auto Mall Area. This would limit the taller signs to the larger auto dealerships located within the City's Auto Mall Area. Auto dealerships with smaller areas of land or auto dealerships located outside of the Auto Mall would still be limited to 40 feet tall signs. Staff estimates that under current property ownership and configurations 11 auto dealerships would be able to take advantage of this taller sign provision. Staff proposes permitting maximum sign heights of 50 feet for larger auto dealerships located within the Auto Mall Area. This would ensure that signs are no taller than the maximum building height permitted in the zone. Also, the Auto Mall is outside of areas where sign heights of 50 feet would be a concern to aircraft using the Renton Municipal Airport. A 50 foot height limit for larger auto dealerships would further distinguish them and make those auto dealerships located further from the freeways and arterials more visible to passing consumers. The proposed code amendment complies with City policies supporting economic development and support for retail activity within the City. The following policies support the proposed code amendment: Policy ED-8. Increase the retail sales tax base of the City. The proposed taller sign would help increase the City's sales tax base. The Auto Mall provides a significant amount of retail sales tax revenue for the City. This code amendment will encourage new large auto dealerships to come to this part of the City, thus increasing the sales tax base of the City. Policy ED-18. Retain existing and attract new businesses that generate consumer oriented commercial activity. The code amendment is expected to retain existing large auto dealers in the City's Auto Mall, as well as attract new auto dealers. Auto dealerships are some of the largest consumer oriented commercial activities. This code amendment helps ensure auto dealerships remain happy with the Auto Mall area. Objective ED-E. Ensure a healthier regional economy. The City's Auto Mall is also a source of revenue for the regional economy. The Auto Mall area provides retails sales tax that supports State, regional, and County government functions and services. In addition, the spin off effects of income generated from the auto mall helps ensure a healthy regional economy. This code amendment ensures the City's Auto Mall continues in its role providing income for the regional economy. Conclusion: Permitting an additional 10 feet of sign height within the Auto Mall Area for auto dealerships with one acre or more of land would further distinguish the auto dealerships within this area, and increase visibility of the large auto dealers from automobile traffic passing on I-405 and SR-167 (Rainier Avenue). Limiting the taller signs to auto dealerships over one acre in size would prevent proliferation of a large number of 50-foot signs in this area, and retain the larger auto dealerships which contribute so much to the identity of the City's Auto Mall.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: There are five single-family parcels with existing houses along NE 2nd Street to the east of Lyons Ave. These parcels are currently on septic systems. The property owners are having problems with their septic systems. Specifically, they are being challenged by high ground water. Potential reasons for the high ground water include the heavy rain events we have had this year and/or recent plat(s) being built in the area. Staff has discussed the situation with the property owners and the neighboring developer. The developer has agreed to assist the City by having their contractor install the sewer in front of the properties, as an extension of the development, with Renton paying for the additional facilities. Our estimate for the installation is approximately $45,000. In order to have the property owners pay their fair share, Renton would form a Special Assessment District for the sewers. The assessment would be per each unit. We estimate ten potential units, with a per unit cost of $4,500. The property owners are in favor of this action and have submitted letters to that effect. All of the property owners are aware of the need to pay their fair share of the facility and are in agreement. In an effort to get sewer service available quickly, staff would like authorization to begin construction prior to the end of the appeal period. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department that preliminary approval be given for the NE 2"d Street Sanitary Sewer Special Assessment District. It is further recommended that Council authorize staff to begin construction prior to the completion of the appeal period and direct staff to proceed with the establishment of the final STecial Assessment District upon completion of the construction of the sanitary sewer facility in NE 2" Street.

Sunset Blvd Renton WA 98055 Phone: 425.255.6202 Councilwoman Terri Briere Renton City Council Renton City Hall 1055 S Grady Way Renton WA 98055 Dear Councilwoman Briere, rtd�32004 RE TON C 7 YWUNML CITY OF FEN7'ON FEB 2 � 2004 CfTY CLECEIVED t IC S OFFICE Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk with me about my concerns. It was very nice to have someone listen and show concern. I hope I did not ramble on too much and confuse issues. What follows is a narrative laying foundation so the reader can understand what has gone on creating my somewhat paranoid emotion. Also, a short summary of options I would like to see happen. I would like to have my property at 620 SW Sunset Blvd. rezoned to a realistic use zoning instead of the current single-family zoning with my clinic business being grand fathered. My building was a fourplex when it was constructed circa 1950. My father moved his chiropractic practice from downtown on Wells Street to the location in 1954 utilizing the front apartment initially, then expanding to the second unit in the late 1950's. Today and for the past 40 years it has been a health clinic and two apartments, a one bedroom and a two bedroom with paved parking for 18 cars. I moved my practice to this location in 1979 when my father retired. I purchased this property from my father in 1980. I would like to rezone the property for mixed use that would expand not only the use but, also, I then could get permits to upgrade electrical etc to higher standards. The change from single family to a mixed -use zoning makes sense as it never has been a single-family home and is not really suited for a single-family home because of the busy & noisy highway. The current homes along this strip are old and rundown, some already serving multiple families and home business. Two lots west there is a commercial business and has been for more than 50 years. My father, son and I have had our business at this location for 50 years. I was bom and raised in this neighborhood and I'm proud of this little area know as SW Sunset Blvd, " the road that turns into Martin Luther King." I plan to be here many years and want to add to the redevelopment and improvement of my neighborhood. I need help and guidance to this end. cc: 6a4� The following is a narrative of my recent experience working with city workers relative to my property: In February 2002, I began upgrading my building that had become dated and run down. The summer of 2002 I had the entire exterior and the front half of my clinic interior completely upgraded not only for a new fresh look, but electrical and mechanical were also brought up to commercial standards in the front half of my clinic. We went down to the studs and rebuilt it all in the front unit. It looks great and I feel it adds value to the entire neighborhood. In the beginning of 2003 I contacted Holmes Electric to have the two apartments in the back half of my building rewired. The Holmes Electric representative wanted to talk with the city electrical people. He informed me while in a conversation with a city worker at city hall about the project, another city worker put his head out of his office and asked where they were talking about. When he was informed it was my property this city worker said, "he knows he can't do anything with that property as it is not zoned multifamily". The Holmes representative returned to my office and gracefully bowed out of giving me an estimate to have electrical updated due to the apparent lack of cooperation by the city. In July 2003. I rented Apt. C to a man that wanted to live there and run his small mortgage financing business from his apartment. I rented Apt C to him and informed him he could not have signs and that he needed a city business license even though it was an apartment. The next month he wanted to rent Apt D for his soon to be manager, to do the same as he was doing. He said he was just starting out in business and wanted to keep things simple. Apt D was not in very good condition, however, he said he would fix it up at his expense, so I told him to go for it, but let me know what he as doing and not to move any structural walls. The wiring needed to be updated and I told him about my previous experience, but he said we would find an electrician that could get the job done. I called an electrician and told him to call these people. I informed the electrician they did not have a permit. The electrician thought I wanted him to do the job without a permit but I clarified to him no, I wanted him to get a permit and to deal with my renter as they were paying for this job. The next day while seeing patients in my clinic, I saw the city building inspector outside standing by his truck. I figured he was there just doing the permit thing. The renter came into my office and told me he had a stop work order and the inspector was throwing a fit, cussing, & raging on because he had removed this red tag from the door. He said he told the inspector he took it off the door to go into his apartment and call to find out what was going on. While he was on the phone his workers who were doing the work inside the apartment arrived and so did the inspector who had posted the door earlier that morning. I went out to talk with this inspector to find out what was going on. He said he had received a complaint that we were doing work without a permit. He said the police were coming and was just emotionally beside himself. I asked him what they had to do to remedy the situation. He said you couldn't do anything. I said what if they get a permit? He said I won't give you one. I said what do you mean you wont give me one; I got a permit to remodel the front unit last year and he responded by saying "yeah that was a mistake." I asked him what do you mean a 2 mistake and he said the city made a mistake and never should have issued that permit. I asked him why? He said" you're not zoned and you were expanding your business. 1 said my business was grand fathered years ago and all the work was done by a reputable contractor and was inspected by the city inspectors and passed. I also informed him I was not expanding by business. He just said again "it was a mistake and it won't happen again". I asked him what could I do with the. apartment? He said you can't do anything and I would have to seal the apartment and never use it for anything. The renter told me later that day he went down to city hall and spoke to this inspectors boss and was told just get the permit, then you can do the work. He called the electrician and asked him to get the permit and do the job. The electrician called the next day and said the city won't give him a permit so he can't do the job. The renter moved out at the end of August 2003. Apartment D has been completely ruined wallboard torn out, wiring gone. Another man from the zoning office, very kind and professional, came and asked if my renter had a business license. He told me they did not. I explained the whole story to him. First he told me to call someone at city hall explain what happened so I could get permits to do the work and repair the damage. Then 2 days later the same zoning man came by my office and told me not to contact anyone; he would look into what I would have to do and he would get back to me. He said the worst that could happen is I would have to seal the apartment and never use it for anything. He said do nothing until I heard from him. I did not hear from him again, until December of 2003 when he called and asked if the new person I was renting Apt C was going to live there. I informed him she did plan to live there. He said he was still working on my problem. He asked me when was the last time I rented the apartment before this last guy. I told him it was always rented off and on, in fact I lived there when I got married 36 years ago and my brother lived there for awhile; we laughed and I have not heard from him since. I admit I was naive in letting the renter do construction work in Apt D. They tried to get away with something. It was a mistake on my part and I accept responsibility, however the remedy to seal the apartment and never use it is unacceptable. When or if I am issued permits, I have a real concern city inspectors will be holding my remold up to nit picking standards for retaliation, for which they have a reputation. I have mixed issues and it may seem somewhat confusing, however it is my intent to convey my state of mind based on my experiences. I am concerned about aggravating someone and somehow losing my grandfather status. I want to do the right thing and I want the right thing done to me. I want the use of all my property and the ability to upgrade it, which will add to the quality of the neighborhood. I want to work with rational and reasonable people to solve the issues and move positively into the future improving our great City of Renton. Again, thank you for your attention on this very important matter. Rodney E Handly D.C. 3
