CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM CITY OF SHORELINE, WASHINGTON
AGENDA TITLE: Proclamation Declaring Safe Shoreline Month DEPARTMENT: Office of Emergency Management Shoreline Police Department PRESENTED BY: Jason McMillan, Emergency Management Coordinator Paula Bates, Shoreline Police Community Outreach Officer ACTION: ___ Ordinance ___ Resolution ___ Motion
___ Discussion ___ Public Hearing _X_ Proclamation
ISSUE STATEMENT: Every year disasters and local emergencies disrupt the lives of thousands throughout the United States. Being prepared for such incidents can reduce fear, anxiety and losses that might otherwise occur. Preparation also helps the community recover and get back to normal. To highlight emergency preparedness, the month of October has been declared "Washington State Disaster Preparedness Month". The vitality of our City depends on how safe we keep our homes, neighborhoods, schools, and the community. Crime and the fear of crime destroy our trust in others. To remind our residents to stay vigilant about community safety and crime prevention, the month of October has also been declared "National Crime Prevention Month". Given the confluence of these awareness campaigns, the City is proclaiming the month of October as Safe Shoreline Month. This proclamation highlights the proactive and innovative work the City is doing in the areas of policing and emergency management. Programs such as Ready Shoreline, Map Your Neighborhood, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), Shoreline Watch, R.A.D.A.R., and Nurturing Trust bring City staff, police, and the community together to focus on building trusted relationships and strong, prepared neighborhoods. Community members and business are encouraged to implement preparedness and prevention measures and to participate in these City sponsored programs. Accepting the proclamation on behalf of the City are Emergency Management Coordinator Jason McMillan and Community Outreach Officer Paula Bates.
RECOMMENDATION The Mayor should read and present the proclamation. Approved By: City Manager DT City Attorney JA-T

August 13, 2018 Council Regular Meeting DRAFT
2
Pat Pethigal, Shoreline resident, brought to the Council’s attention changes to her neighborhood
(Ridgecrest) in conjunction with population growth in the last few months. Citing increased
traffic, mailbox theft, and recycling bin foraging, she requested an increase in law enforcement
patrols in her neighborhood.
Kathleen Randall, Shoreline resident and neighbor to Ms. Pethigal, spoke to safety concerns the
lack of sidewalks and the increased vehicle traffic present to pedestrians in her neighborhood.
She reiterated Ms. Pethigal’s request for increased law enforcement presence.
Ginger Hayra Gunn, Shoreline resident and Shoreline Parks volunteer, drew attention to the
importance of protecting drip lines and asked Council to support tree protection and replacement.
She asked that as budget allocations are adjusted, Council consider redirecting available funds to
retain and replant trees.
Ellie Rose, Shoreline resident, stated she recently moved to Westminster Triangle for the trees.
She shared the importance of trees and encouraged Council to be stewards of them. She stated all

include greenspaces.
Janet Way, Shoreline resident and tree advocate, requested the Council delay decision-making on
tree retention. Additionally, she asked that the community honor Nancy Rust’s legacy and create

Debora Demoss, Shoreline resident, reflected on the impact development has on a community.
She asked the Council to not rush their decision around tree retention, and questioned why trees
should be decimated for development.

Beach Road, and communicated that it was his understanding that no disposal plan seemed to be
in place.

Fiber One Agreement – Addendum 33
8. ACTION ITEMS
(a) Adopting Ordinance No. 835 – Consideration of Condemnation of Property for the
Community and Aquatics Center
Margaret King, City Attorney, presented the modified Ordinance, and clarified that the
adjustment of the ordinance eliminated the Stone Way properties, solely focusing on the Midvale
Avenue property. She opened the floor to discussion and questions.
Councilmember McGlashan moved for adoption of Ordinance No. 835 – Authorizing
acquisition of real property for the purpose of the Community and Aquatics Center by
negotiating voluntary purchase by condemnation. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Chang.
Councilmember McGlashan expressed that the quick decision-making on this acquisition was
important to the future growth of the Aquatic Center, voiced his concerns around losing the
option to a housing developer, and requested the support of the Council.
Councilmember Chang shared her support of the Ordinance in the interest of moving the project
forward. Mayor Hall agreed that thoughtful research had been done, and that it was time to move
forward with adoption.
The motion carried 5-2, with Councilmembers Scully and Salomon voting no.
(b) Adopting Ordinance No. 833 – Amendments to Shoreline Municipal Code Chapter
20.50 for MUR-70’ Zone Tree Retention
Rachael Markle, Director of Planning and Community Development, and Steve Szafran, Senior
Planner, provided the staff report. Ms. Markle recalled that Council directed staff to work with
the Planning Commission and the public to develop amendments to preserve and replace trees in
the MUR-70’ zone through the use of incentives, while not impeding development. She
explained that Proposed Ordinance No. 833 exempts MUR-70’ from tree permit requirements,
and includes height increase and setback/parking reduction incentives for retaining or replacing
significant trees.
Ms. Markle noted that Councilmembers Roberts and Scully submitted amendments to the
Planning Commission’s recommendation. Councilmember Roberts’ first suggested Amendment
(Option #1) exempts removal of trees from property zoned NB, CB, MB, and TC-1, 2, and 3 and
MUR-70’ zones when associated with a current site development or building permit application.
This exemption does not apply to lots maintaining or expanding non-conforming uses. The
proposal also included the Planning Commission’s suggested incentives for tree retention and
replacement in the MUR-70’ zone.
August 13, 2018 Council Regular Meeting DRAFT
4
Ms. Markle stated Councilmember Roberts’ second amendment (Option #2) is proposing the
same as Option #1 with the exception of SMC 20.50.360, modifying the tree replacement and
site restoration requirements. It also includes a fee-in-lieu or offsite planting payment option. She
stated that if Option #2 were to move forward, staff recommends the fee be the same as the fee
for street tree replacement. The money collected would be used for tree management on public
property or for purchasing open space or park land.
Ms. Markle reviewed Councilmember Scully’s amendment that would require up to 20 percent
of significant trees be retained in the MUR-70’ zone. The amendment removes the Planning
Commission’s proposed incentives and tries to balance retention and development potential
goals by providing relief from tree retention requirements in order to permit the maximum
possible hardscape coverage of 90%. It increases the ability to achieve 90% hardscape by
adjusting setbacks or allowing encroachment in some areas. Additionally, this amendment would
require no tree replacement in the MUR-70’ zone. Ms. Markle suggested that, if Council is
interested in moving this amendment forward, they consider delaying adoption of Ordinance No.
833 to allow time for public input and discussion of the impacts.
Councilmember McGlashan moved to adopt Ordinance No. 833, amending Shoreline
Municipal Code Chapter 20.50 for MUR-70’ zone as recommended by the Planning
Commission, with the removal of the parking incentive abilities. The motion died for lack
of a second.
Councilmember Roberts moved to adopt Ordinance No. 833, amending Shoreline
Municipal Code Chapter 20.50 Subchapter 5 to exempt the MUR-70’ zone and provide
incentives to promote tree conservation in the zoning district. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember McGlashan.
Councilmember Roberts stated a sufficient amount of time has been devoted to studying the
issue, and asserted his comfort with taking action tonight. Councilmember Scully agreed that
taking action tonight is appropriate, and said he also believes the concepts have been sufficiently
discussed.
Mayor Hall spoke to the City’s commitment to tree preservation, and noted previous code
amendments made to save trees and improve the tree canopy. He spoke to the challenge of
finding the balance between preserving both affordable housing options and trees. He recognized
that the Ordinance does decrease the tree count, but pointed out it is necessary to sustain needed
growth. He voiced his support of the Ordinance.
Deputy Mayor Salomon agreed that big trees are important, and are difficult to replace. He
explained that when a city constricts development with tree retention requirements, it drives up
the cost to develop, which therefore drives up the cost of housing. He believes density belongs in
urban areas, on transit corridors, and near light rail stations. Otherwise, development pressure
will spread out into rural areas and even more trees will be cut down. He noted Park Impact Fees
will provide funding to acquire more park land where more trees will be planted.

Councilmember McConnell agreed with Deputy Mayor Salomon’s comments. She recognized
the current housing crisis and the reality of big trees getting in the way of the City’s densest
developments. She reflected on the thoughtfulness behind this decision, and on the difficulty in
finding a balance between tree retention/replacement incentives and requirements in the MUR-
70’ zone. She stated her support for allowing development to thrive in the MUR-70’ zone.
Councilmember Chang voiced her support for Councilmember Roberts’ Option #2, and the
thoughtful compromise it offered. She recognized it will be difficult for a developer to retain
really big trees in the MUR-70’ zone. Option #2 allows significant trees to be removed if
necessary but also provides incentives to keep them by not having to pay for replacement trees or
a fee-in-lieu. She cautioned the Planning Commission’s proposed incentives could result in
things we do not want to see like taller buildings and reduction in parking. She said Option #2 is
a good compromise and asked Councilmembers to consider it.
Councilmember Scully moved to amend the main motion to include the amendment
described as “Councilmember Scully Code Amendment” shown on slides 12-16 in the
PowerPoint Presentation. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Roberts.
Councilmember Scully explained that his amendment leaves existing hardscape and setback
limits in place but requires a developer to orient the building in such a way to preserve up to 20
percent of trees, if possible. He stated his proposal requires developers to be creative prior to the
City allowing removal of all trees, meets the City’s goals, and provides benefit for both sides.
Councilmember McConnell requested clarification from staff on Councilmember Scully’s
proposal, citing concerns with generalities. Ms. Markle confirmed that the wording of the
amendment relies on Director’s discretion to some degree, but she felt the guidelines were clear.
Councilmember McConnell asked what “up to” 20 percent of trees represented, and expressed
concern on how this sliding percentage would be regulated. Ms. Markle explained that she could
only estimate, and her best guess is 20 percent on any given lot would be approximately two to
five trees. She said she believes developers work with an intent to preserve trees if possible.
Councilmember Chang asked for details on drip lines, since they directly affect tree preservation.
Ms. Markle said the City would rely on specialist reports to determine adequate developer
attempts for healthy drip lines and tree retention. Councilmember McGlashan brought to the
Council’s attention the issue that with mixed-use housing comes the combining of lots, resulting
in trees in the center of the new lot. He questioned a developers’ ability to adjust the orientation
of larger new structures to preserve trees, and said he did not support the amendment.
The motion to amend the main motion failed 1-6 with Councilmember Scully voting yes.
Councilmember Roberts moved to amend Ordinance No. 833 with Option #2 as shown on
the screen. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Chang.
Councilmember Roberts explained how this option preserves trees in the MUR-70’ zone while
allowing for development to occur. Councilmember Scully expressed his opposition to the
amendment because it allows developers to use as much of the property as they can without
August 13, 2018 Council Regular Meeting DRAFT

preserving any trees and then facilitates offsite replacement tree planting or fee-in-lieu charges
that do not support adequate tree preservation. Councilmember McConnell asked for staff’s
opinion around the fee-in-lieu option. Ms. Markle spoke to the research conducted, and
concluded that she did not believe the $2,400 removal fee per tree would act as a motivating
factor for retention.
Mayor Hall observed that this change would affect the rights of other property owners in
business zones and expressed concern that the Planning Commission did not discuss this. For
this reason he is not inclined to support this amendment at this time. Councilmember Roberts
replied that the Planning Commission did address this and he restated exemptions are necessary
to preserve trees, and agreed that all properties should be treated equally regardless of zoning.
Additionally, he advocated for the fee-in-lieu approach, arguing that the financial benefits to the
City and flexible options available to developers make it an attractive compromise.
Councilmember Chang voiced her opinion that the Ordinance is a good balance and first attempt
between retention and replacement, with enough impact to developers to garner attention and
influence the preservation of trees.
The motion to amend the main motion failed 3-4 with Councilmembers Roberts, Chang,
and McConnell voting yes.
The main motion carried 5-2, with Councilmembers Chang and Roberts voting no.
9. STUDY ITEMS
(a) Discussing Ordinance No. 834 - Budget Amendment - Amending the 2018 Final Budget
by Increasing the Appropriations in Certain Funds
Sara Lane, Administrative Services Director, presented the Staff Report on Ordinance No. 834,
calling attention to impact on the Limited Tax GO BAN 2018 and General Capital Funds,
supported by Bond Anticipation Note Proceeds and anticipated revenue, with limited net impact
to the City. If supported by Council, adoption would be scheduled for September 10, 2018.
Council had no questions. Mayor Hall said Ordinance No. 834 could be scheduled on the
Consent Calendar.
(b) Discussing Ordinance No. 831 - Amending Section 5.05 (Business Licenses) of the
Shoreline Municipal Code to Amend the Responsibility, Expiration Date, Penalty Rate,
add a Delinquency Schedule for Late Renewal of Business Licenses, and Other
Revisions Necessary to Adhere to the Association of Washington Cities' Business
License Model
Rick Kirkwood, Budget Supervisor, and Ally Kim, B&O Tax Analyst, presented the Staff Report
on proposed Ordinance No. 831. Ms. Kim explained the proposal includes amendments that will
allow the City to implement FileLocal’s standard configuration, and adhere to the Association of
Washington Cities’ (AWC) Business Licensing Model Ordinance.
August 13, 2018 Council Regular Meeting DRAFT

Ms. Kim reviewed the proposed changes to SMC 5.05 are pertaining to administration of the
chapter, penalty and delinquency schedules, licensing expiration dates, a definition for “engaging
in business”, and exemption thresholds based on gross income. She noted the AWC Model
Ordinance requires cities establish an exemption threshold of, at a minimum, $2,000 gross
income for businesses who do not maintain a place of business within the city. Staff is
recommending this threshold be applied to all businesses regardless of physical location. Ms.
Kim reported the Ordinance will not go into effect until 2019.
Councilmember Roberts thanked staff for bringing back a stronger Ordinance. He asked about
the Department of Revenue’s registration requirements if a tradename is different than an
individual’s name. He also pointed out the Ordinance as drafted did not include the $2,000
threshold for all businesses and asked if it could be applied. Mr. Kirkwood explained that staff
recommends the $2,000 threshold apply to all businesses and the amendment would be included
in the Ordinance language when it comes back for adoption on September 10, 2018.
10. At 8:52 p.m., Mayor Hall recessed into Executive Session for a period of 15 minutes as
authorized by RCW 42.30.110(l)(i) to discuss with legal counsel matters relating to agency
enforcement actions or litigation. The Mayor stated the Council was not expected to take final
action following the Executive Session. Staff attending the Executive Session included Debbie
Tarry, City Manager; John Norris, Assistant City Manager; Margaret King, City Attorney; and
Nathan Daum; Economic Development Manager. The Executive Session ended at 9:02 p.m.
11. ADJOURNMENT

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM CITY OF SHORELINE, WASHINGTON
AGENDA TITLE: Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Contract with the Washington Traffic Safety Commission for School Walk Route Improvement Grant Funds in the Amount of $106,011
DEPARTMENT: Public Works PRESENTED BY: Tricia Juhnke, City Engineer ACTION: ____ Ordinance ____ Resolution _X__ Motion ____ Discussion ____ Public Hearing
PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT: Staff is requesting that Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) to receive $106,011 in grant funding for School Walk Route Improvements at Echo Lake Elementary School and Shorewood High School. In accordance with the City’s purchasing policies, Council authorization is required for staff to contract for grant funds exceeding $50,000. Additionally, WTSC requires formal authorization of their contracts prior to execution. RESOURCE/FINANCIAL IMPACT: The draft 2019-2024 Capital Improvement Program includes $106,011 in WTSC funding. The terms of the grant require the City to expend the WTSC funds only for purchased equipment, labor and services; no grant funding may be used for City staff labor costs. Consequently, Roads Capital Fund revenues will be expended for design and project administration. This project is funded as follows:
Washington Traffic Safety Commission Grant $106,011 Roads Capital Fund $ 12,000 Total Project Revenues $118,011
RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Washington Traffic Safety Commission for grant funds totaling $106,011 for the School Walk Route Improvement Program, including authorization of any addenda or supplements required by Washington Traffic Safety Commission. Approved By: City Manager JN City Attorney MK

BACKGROUND
Pedestrian safety, particularly in school zones, is important to Shoreline residents. Ashworth Avenue N. and Wallingford Avenue N. currently lack sidewalks. Children walk to Echo Lake Elementary School using road shoulders or vehicle lanes. At Shorewood High School, drivers on N 175th street often fail to see students in the marked crosswalk at Linden Avenue N. To improve safety at these locations the City applied for and was awarded a Washington Transportation Safety Commission grant for purchase and installation of five school zone flashers and associated regulatory signs to be placed along Ashworth Avenue N., Wallingford Avenue N., and N 195th Street, near Echo Lake Elementary School and for user - activated flashing pedestrian beacons on N. 175th Street at Linden Avenue N. A map of the proposed locations can be found in Attachment A. These safety improvements will remind drivers of the 20 mph speed limit within the school zone and improve safety for children walking to Echo Lake Elementary and help to increase drivers’ awareness that pedestrians are using the crosswalk on N. 175th at Shorewood High School.
DISCUSSION In accordance with the City’s purchasing policies, Council authorization is required for staff to obligate grant funds exceeding $50,000. Additionally, WTSC requires formal authorization of their contracts prior to execution. Staff is requesting Council to authorize the City Manager to execute a contract for these grant funds with WTSC. Attachment B is the draft agreement. A no-action alternative would include not entering the grant agreement, not doing the project at this time, and returning the grant funds to WTSC.
COUNCIL GOAL ADDRESSED This project addresses Goal No. 2: Improve Shoreline’s infrastructure to continue the
delivery of highly valued public service.
RESOURCE/FINANCIAL IMPACT The draft 2019-2024 Capital Improvement Program includes $106,011 in WTSC funding. The terms of the grant require the City to expend the WTSC funds only for purchased equipment, labor and services; no grant funding may be used for City staff labor costs. Consequently, Roads Capital Fund revenues will be expended for design and project administration. This project is funded as follows: Washington Traffic Safety Commission Grant $106,011
Roads Capital Fund $ 12,000
Total Project Revenues $118,011

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Washington Traffic Safety Commission for grant funds totaling $106,011 for the School Walk Route Improvement Program, including authorization of any addenda or supplements required by Washington Traffic Safety Commission.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM CITY OF SHORELINE, WASHINGTON
AGENDA TITLE: QUASI-JUDICIAL: Discussion of Ordinance No. 838 – Amending the Zoning Map at 14507 and 14511 Stone Avenue N from Residential 48-units per acre (R-48) to Mixed Business (MB) (PLN 18-0019, Wright Rezone)
DEPARTMENT: Planning & Community Development PRESENTED BY: Miranda Redinger, AICP, Senior Planner ACTION: ____ Ordinance ____ Resolution _ Motion
__X_ Discussion ____ Public Hearing
PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT: On behalf of the property owners, Robert Wright requested a rezone of two (2) parcels located at 14507 and 14511 Stone Avenue N from Residential 48-units per acre (R-48), a high density residential zone, to Mixed Business (MB), a commercial zone. Per Shoreline Municipal Code (SMC) Section 20.30.060, a rezone is a Type C quasi-judicial decision for which the City Hearing Examiner holds a public hearing and issues a recommendation. The City Council is tasked with making a final decision. As such, the City Council cannot hear any additional public comment on this item and should not have external discussion regarding this request with members of the public. The Hearing Examiner’s Recommendation on Request for Site Specific Rezone (Attachment A – Exhibit A), dated August 28, 2018, recommends approval of the proposed rezone. Adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 838 (Attachment A) would authorize this rezone and amend the City’s Zoning Map accordingly. Tonight, Council is scheduled to discuss proposed Ordinance No. 838. RESOURCE/FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed rezone will not have a direct resource or financial impact to the City. The rezone does have the potential to add dwelling units, which would contribute to the City’s property tax base.
RECOMMENDATION No action is required at this time. The Hearing Examiner recommended approval of this requested rezone. Staff concurs with this recommendation and asks that the Council adopt proposed Ordinance No. 838 when it is brought back to Council for consideration on October 15, 2018. Approved By: City Manager JN City Attorney MK

BACKGROUND Rezones are discretionary decisions of the City and addressed in Shoreline Municipal Code (SMC) Section 20.30.320. The purpose of a rezone is a mechanism to make changes to a zoning classification, conditions, or concomitant agreement applicable to property. Changes to the zoning classification that apply to a parcel of property are text changes and/or amendments to the official zoning map. SMC 20.30.060 classifies a rezone as a Type C decision. Pursuant to Table 20.30.060, the City of Shoreline Hearing Examiner, after holding an open record public hearing and preparing findings and conclusions, makes a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council is the final decision making authority on a rezone. The Code (SMC 20.30.320(B)) sets forth the following decision criteria with regard to rezone approval:
1. The rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The rezone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or general welfare. 3. The rezone is warranted in order to achieve consistency with the Comprehensive
Plan. 4. The rezone will not be materially detrimental to uses or property in the immediate
vicinity of the subject rezone. 5. The rezone has merit and value for the community.
Rezone Request On behalf of the property owners, Robert Wright requested a rezone of two (2) parcels located at 14507 and 14511 Stone Avenue N from Residential 48-units per acre (R-48), a high density residential zone, to Mixed Business (MB), a commercial zone. The Applicant currently has no specific project contemplated as part of this rezone. The 1.5 acre site has a Comprehensive Plan designation of Mixed Use 1 (MU1). Mixed Business (MB) is an implementing zone for MU1. The corresponding land use designation for R-48 zoning would be High Density Residential. A map depicting the proposed rezone can be found as Exhibit B to Attachment A.
DISCUSSION As part of the rezone request, the Applicant provided responses to the above-noted rezone decision criteria and staff provided additional analysis. Applicant responses and staff analysis are included in the Hearing Examiner staff report along with exhibits presented to the Hearing Examiner (Attachment B). The Hearing Examiner held the required public hearing on August 15, 2018. On August 28, 2018, the Hearing Examiner issued the Recommendation on Request for Site Specific Rezone (Attachment A – Exhibit A). With this recommendation, the Hearing Examiner sets forth the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law that support the recommendation of approval.
Page 2 8a-2
The documents contained in Attachments A and B collectively represent the record for this rezone. Pursuant to SMC 20.30.320(B), based on the record developed by the Hearing Examiner, the City Council may approve, approve with modifications, or deny the proposed rezone.
RESOURCE/FINANCIAL IMPACT The proposed rezone will not have a direct resource or financial impact to the City. The rezone does have the potential to add dwelling units, which would contribute to the City’s property tax base.
RECOMMENDATION No action is required at this time. The Hearing Examiner recommended approval of this requested rezone. Staff concurs with this recommendation and asks that the Council adopt proposed Ordinance No. 838 when it is brought back to Council for consideration on October 15, 2018.

August 28, 2018
_________________________________
1. FINDINGS OF FACT
1.1 Background. This is a request to rezone two adjacent properties from R-48
(Residential, 48 units per acre) to Mixed Business.
1.2 Applicant, Property Owners, and Site Location.
Applicant: Robert Wright, The Foundation Group, 2621 Eastlake
Avenue East, Seattle WA 98102
Property Owners: 14507-H, LLC, 6525 Crown Blvd., #20428, San Jose, CA
95160-0428
Site Address: Parcel A: 14511 Stone Avenue North
Parcel B: 14507 Stone Avenue North
Tax Parcel No.: 182604-9092 (the site was assigned a single parcel number,
but has two legal descriptions).1
1.3 Hearing. A public hearing was held on August 15, 2018. The Planning
Department, through Ms. Redinger, summarized the proposal, identified the City's rezone
criteria, explained how the proposal met the criteria, and concluded with a recommendation of
approval. The Applicant, through Mr. Wright, expressed concurrence with the Department's
presentation. In response to a question from the public during the Department's presentation, Mr.
Wright emphasized that no specific project was a part of the rezone proposal, although the site
would likely be redeveloped in future.
Only one citizen indicated a wish to speak. Ms. Judy provided only her first name and
did not wish to testify under oath. She had hoped for a back and forth or "Q&A" forum to
address her questions. The Examiner stated questions could be raised, but this was not a "Q&A"
forum. However, once public testimony concluded, the Planning Department and Applicant
could address concerns raised. Ms. Judy elected not to provide testimony. The Planning
Department indicated staff would also be available to answer questions after the hearing.

The Examiner asked if there was anyone else who wished to provide comment. No one
present indicated a wish to comment. The hearing was adjourned.
1.4 Exhibits. The Examiner admitted these exhibits:
Exhibit 1 Staff Report, with Attachments 1-18
Exhibit 2 Public Hearing Affidavit
Exhibit 3 Planning Department Power Point Presentation
1.5 Site Description. The 1.5 acre site is developed with the a 57 unit apartment
complex, the Linden II Apartments. They consist of two 1964 apartment buildings and a
centralized 1984 building, with a pool.2
1.6 Critical Areas. The steepest slopes along both parcels' frontages and on Parcel A
exceed 25 percent.3 There are no indications of rockslides, earthflows, mudflows, landslides, or
other slope failure on the site or surrounding properties.4 Except steep slopes, there are no
mapped critical areas (wetlands, streams, or fish & wildlife habitat) at the site or on neighboring
properties. The site does not have ground water seepage or springs near the ground surface.
There is no standing or running water on the site or on adjacent properties during the year.
1.7 Access. Parcel A is accessed from the south via N 145th Street (State Highway
523), a Collector Arterial. Parcel B is accessed from the east via Stone Avenue NE, a Local
Secondary street. Just over 200 feet to the west is Aurora Avenue N (State Highway 99).
1.8 Site and Surrounding Property Zoning and Comprehensive Plan
Designations. The site is in the Parkwood Neighborhood's southwest corner. The Westminster
Triangle Neighborhood is to the west, across Aurora Avenue N. The City of Seattle’s
municipal boundary is to the south, at N 145th Street's center line. The zoning is R-48.5 "The
purpose of high density residential, R-18, R-24, R-36 and R-48 zones, is to provide for a mix of
predominantly apartment and townhouse dwelling units and other compatible uses."6 However,
the Comprehensive Plan designation is Mixed-Use 1.7
The Mixed-Use 1 (MU1) designation encourages the development of walkable
places with architectural interest that integrate a wide variety of retail, office, and
service uses, along with form-based maximum density residential uses. Transition
to adjacent single-family neighborhoods may be accomplished through
appropriate design solutions. Limited manufacturing uses may be permitted under
certain conditions.8

The requested zoning is consistent. "The purpose of the mixed business zone (MB) is to
encourage the development of vertical and/or horizontal mixed-use buildings or developments
along the Aurora Avenue and Ballinger Way corridors."9
The surrounding area within the City has a mix of zoning, including two single family
zones, R-6 and R-8, along with the Mixed Business commercial zone. Within Seattle
boundaries, property is zoned Low Rise Multifamily 2 and 3 (LR2, LR3), and includes a mix of
dwelling units, including single-family; a Walgreens drug store on the property immediately
adjacent to the west; a restaurant across N 145th Street in Seattle; and other businesses and
multifamily housing along Aurora Avenue N.
1.9 Public Notice. A pre-application meeting was held on December 5, 2017, which
was followed by a neighborhood meeting on June 2, 2018.10
Application notice was posted on
site, mailed to all residents within 500 feet and the SEPA notification list, with notice also
published in the Seattle Times, and posted on the City’s website. 11
Public hearing notice was
posted on site and on the City's website, mailed to residents, and published in the Seattle
Times.12
City notice requirements were complied with.
1.10 Agency Comment. The proposal was circulated among City departments and
outside agencies for review and comment. When the site is redeveloped, drainage, frontage, and
sidewalk improvements will be required. Impact fee requirements would apply (i.e.,
Transportation, Parks, and Fire).
1.11 SEPA. The City of Shoreline is the SEPA Lead Agency. The City issued a
Determination of Nonsignificance,13
which was mailed to the notification list, including State
Departments of Commerce and Ecology, neighboring jurisdictions, local organizations, and
tribes. The City received one comment from the King County Historic Preservation Program.14
A
Historical Report addressed the comment.15
1.12 Water/Sewer Availability. The Applicant submitted a Certificate of Water
Availability from North City Water District. During the pre-application meeting, Ronald
Wastewater District provided information on sanitary sewer requirements and general facilities
charges, and City staff provided information on regulatory requirements, including those
addressing drainage and frontage improvements.
. 1.13 Rezone Criteria. In summary, the City's rezone criteria require an evaluation of
Comprehensive Plan consistency, avoidance of adverse effects and material detriment to
surrounding uses, and a showing that the rezone has merit and value for the community.16

1.13.1 Comprehensive Plan Consistency. The Comprehensive Plan designates
the area Mixed-Use 1. The site is near the intersection of Aurora and 145th. Aurora Avenue N
contains Bus Rapid Transit lanes for the King County Metro E Line. N 145th Street will host the
Lynnwood Link light rail station. Overall, this area is slated for intensification of mixed
commercial and residential uses. The Mixed Business zoning designation would facilitate this
use mix, consistent with these policies.
Goal LU II: Establish land use patterns that promote walking, biking and using
transit to access goods, services, education, employment, recreation.
Goal CD I: Promote community development and redevelopment that is
aesthetically pleasing, functional, and consistent with the City’s vision.
Goal H I: Provide sufficient development capacity to accommodate the 20 year
growth forecast and promote other goals, such as creating demand for transit and
local businesses through increased residential density along arterials; and
improved infrastructure, like sidewalks and stormwater treatment, through
redevelopment.
H2: Provide incentives to encourage residential development in commercial
zones, especially those within proximity to transit, to support local businesses.
H3: Encourage infill development on vacant or underutilized sites.
NE1. Promote infill and concurrent infrastructure improvements in areas that are
already developed in order to preserve rural areas, open spaces, ecological
functions, and agricultural lands in the region.
Based on these goals and policies, the Mixed Business zoning is consistent with the
Mixed-Use 1 Plan designation, and satisfies SMC 20.30.320(B)(1).
1.13.2 No Adverse Effect to Public Health, Safety or General Welfare. The
City is designing corridor improvements for N 145th Street to accommodate increased traffic and
multimodal access for the future light rail station. The segment between Interstate 5 and Aurora
Avenue N is further divided into three sections. Based on grant funding cycles and existing
capital funding commitments within the city, improvements to the segment closest to Aurora
(where the site is) are unlikely to be funded for at least the next decade. Site redevelopment,
which would trigger frontage improvements, is potentially a way to realize updated sidewalk
standards before the City can devote capital project resources to this area. Redevelopment would
also trigger updated stormwater standards and more efficient building design (through adherence
to updated Energy Code requirements) that would also contribute to improved public health,
safety, and general welfare.
Attachment A - Exhibit A
8a-10
Recommendation on Rezone PLN 18-0019 City of Shoreline Hearing Examiner
Page 5 of 8
Once redeveloped, the site's aesthetics will improve, to better appeal to customers and
tenants, and the surrounding sidewalks and streets will be made wider and safer. These public
health, safety and general welfare objectives follow Plan objectives.
Goal LU II: Establish land use patterns that promote walking biking and using
transit to access goods, services, education, employment, recreation.
LU9: The Mixed-Use 1 (MU1) designation encourages the development of
walkable places with architectural interest that integrate a wide variety of retail,
office, and service uses, along with form-based maximum density residential
uses. Transition to adjacent single-family neighborhoods may be accomplished
through appropriate design solutions. Limited manufacturing uses may be
permitted under certain conditions.
Goal H1: Provide sufficient development capacity to accommodate the 20 year
growth forecast and promote other goals, such as creating demand for transit and
local businesses through increased residential density along arterials; and
improved infrastructure, like sidewalks and stormwater treatment, through
redevelopment.
H2: Provide incentives to encourage residential development in commercial
zones, especially those within proximity to transit, to support local businesses.
H3: Encourage infill development on vacant or underutilized sites.
Goal TV1: Encourage alternative modes of transportation to reduce the number
of automobiles on the road, promote a healthy city, and reduce carbon emissions.
T33: Strengthen Aurora Avenue N as a high usage transit corridor that
encourages cross-country, seamless service.
T49: Expand the city’s pedestrian network. Prioritize projects shown on the
Pedestrian System Plan included in the TMP using the following criteria:
o Ability to be combined with other capital projects or leverage other
funding;
o Proximity to a school or park;
o Located on an arterial;
o Located in an activity center, such as Town Center, North City,
Ballinger, or connects to Aurora Avenue N;
o Connects to an existing walkway or the Interurban Trail;
o Connects to transit; and/or
o Links major destinations such as neighborhood businesses, high
density housing, schools, and recreation facilities.
The rezone is consistent with SMC 20.30.320(B)(2).

1.13.3 Rezone Warranted in Order to Achieve Comprehensive Plan
Consistency. The Comprehensive Plan land use designation most appropriate for the current R-
48 zoning is High Density Residential. The most common implementing zoning for Mixed-Use 1
is Mixed Business. The Applicant stated that with R-48 zoning, redevelopment is limited to 72
units. The City’s vision in this locale under the Mixed-Use 1 Plan designation is a combination
of high density residential and commercial uses. Mixed Business zoning is consistent and
satisfies SMC 20.30.320(B)(3).
1.13.4 No Material Detriment to Uses or Property in the Immediate Vicinity.
Site redevelopment would result in improved architecture, which would likely include an updated
design aesthetic besides complying with Building Code regulations requiring increased energy
efficiency and safety measures. The Property is at Shoreline's "gateway" for people coming from
the south, whether to the 145th Street light rail station or heading north on Aurora Avenue. The
City invested millions of dollars in revitalizing the Aurora Avenue Corridor and expects to see
millions of dollars of improvements to the 145th Street Corridor from Shoreline, Sound Transit,
WSDOT, and other regional entities. New housing development that includes frontage
improvements would complement past and proposed investments, and would not be materially
detrimental to surrounding properties. The requested rezone is consistent with Plan objectives for
this area.
Goal NE V. Protect clean air and the climate for present and future generations
through reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and promotion of efficient and
effective solutions for transportation, clean industries, and development.
NE1. Promote infill and concurrent infrastructure improvements in areas that are
already developed in order to preserve rural areas, open spaces, ecological
functions, and agricultural lands in the region.
There is no material detriment; the rezone follows SMC 20.30.320(B)(4).
1.13.5 Rezone Merit and Value for the Community. When the site is
redeveloped, the project must comply with new design, landscaping, streetscape, and stormwater
requirements. This will improve property aesthetics, economic attractiveness, and better serve
the environment. This follows the Comprehensive Plan.
ED9: Promote land use and urban design that allows for smart growth and dense nodes of
transit-supportive commercial activity to promote a self sustaining local economy.
ED12: Revitalize commercial business districts, and encourage high density
mixed-use in these areas.
ED21: Support public/private partnerships to facilitate or fund infrastructure
improvements that will result in increased economic opportunity.
Attachment A - Exhibit A
8a-12
Recommendation on Rezone PLN 18-0019 City of Shoreline Hearing Examiner
Page 7 of 8
ED27: Develop a vision and strategies for creating dense mixed-use nodes
anchored by Aurora’s retail centers, including how to complement, support, and
connect them with mid-rise residential, office, and destination retail buildings.
To address impacts, new residential development will require the payment of
Transportation, Park, and Fire Impact Fees, which fund system-wide improvements to
accommodate growth within the community. Future development will install full frontage
improvements including sidewalk, curb, gutter, and landscape/amenity zone adjacent to the
sidewalk. Also, new residential development will pay impact fees to support the system-wide
improvements to support growth. The proposal has community merit and value.
2. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
2.1 The City classifies site specific rezones as Type C decisions,17
which require the
Hearing Examiner to issue a recommendation after holding an open record public hearing. The
City Council makes the final decision.
2.2 The City requires the Examiner to consider these criteria:
The City may approve or approve with modifications an application for a rezone
of property if:
1. The rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and
2. The rezone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or general
welfare; and
3. The rezone is warranted in order to achieve consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan; and
4. The rezone will not be materially detrimental to uses or property in the
immediate vicinity of the subject rezone; and
5. The rezone has merit and value for the community.18
2.3 The City's rezone criteria are consistent with the general case law rules governing
rezones, which provide no presumption of validity and require demonstration of a substantial
relationship to the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare.19
As the rezone is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan, changed circumstances need not be demonstrated.20

AUGUST 15, 2018 PUBLIC HEARING
Project Name: Wright Rezone Application Project File No.: PLN18-0019 REQUEST: The applicant has requested to rezone two parcels from Residential-48 units per acre (R-48) to Mixed Business (MB). GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: Robert Wright The Foundation Group
2621 Eastlake Ave E Seattle, WA 98102
Property Information:
Parcel A– 14511 Stone Avenue N Parcel B– 14507 Stone Avenue N Owner- 14507-H, LLC, Martin O. Halfhill, Managing Member 6525 Crown Blvd #20428 San Jose, CA 95160-0428 These two parcels will be collectively referred to in this Staff Report as “The Property” and individually denoted by address. Even though the legal description references Parcel A and Parcel B, the parcels share a Property Tax Account Number of 182604092. Legal Description: PARCEL A:
THAT PORTION OF THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF SECTION 18, TOWNSHIP 26 NORTH, RANGE 4 EAST, W.M., IN KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS: BEGINNING AT A POINT 30 FEET NORTH AND 341 FEET EAST OF THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF THE SOUTHEAST

PARCEL B: THAT PORTION OF THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF SECTION 18, TOWNSHIP 26 NORTH, RANGE 4 EAST, W.M., IN KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS: BEGINNING AT A POINT 20 FEET NORTH AND 489 FEET EAST OF THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF SECTION 18, TOWNSHIP 26 NORTH, RANGE 4 EAST, W.M., IN KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON; THENCE NORTH 252 FEET; THENCE EAST 148 FEET; THENCE SOUTH 252 FEET; THENCE WEST 148 FEET TO THE POINT OF BEGINNING; EXCEPT THE SOUTH 30 FEET THEREOF CONVEYED TO KING COUNTY FOR ROAD BY DEED RECORDED UNDER RECORDING NO. 5761685. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Applicant requests a rezone of two (2) parcels of land currently zoned Residential 48 units per acre (R-48) to Mixed Business (MB). The Applicant currently has no specific project contemplated as part of this rezone. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: The Site Map and Plan (Attachment 1) shows an aerial view of The Property and a simplified site plan. The site is approximately 1.5 acres and the current use is the Linden II Apartments, which consists of three buildings (two apartment buildings and a centralized building that contains a pool) with a total of 57 units. According to the Critical Areas Worksheets attached to the rezone applications (Attachment 8), the steepest slopes found on Parcel A and along the front of both parcels is greater than 25 percent. The City’s GIS topographic map confirms the topography of the site (Attachment 5). There are no indications on any portion of the Property or on any adjacent properties of rockslides, earthflows, mudflows, landslides, or other slope failure.

Attachment B
8a-17
With the exception of steep slopes, there are no mapped critical areas (wetlands, streams, or fish & wildlife habitat) on the Property or on neighboring properties. There is no standing or running water on the surface of any of the properties or on any adjacent property at any time during the year. The Property does not contain ground water seepage or springs near the surface of the ground. Parcel A is accessed from N 145th Street, which is classified as State Route 523. Parcel B is accessed from Stone Avenue NE, which is classified as a Local Secondary street. CURRENT ZONING AND LAND USE: The Property is located in the southwest corner of the Parkwood Neighborhood. The Westminster Triangle Neighborhood is to the west, across Aurora Avenue N. The City of Seattle is to the south, across N 145th Street. The City’s Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation Map (Attachment 4), shows the Property having a single land use designation of Mixed-Use 1, which is defined by Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policy 9 (LU-9) as follows:
The Mixed-Use 1 (MU1) designation encourages the development of walkable places with architectural interest that integrate a wide variety of retail, office, and service uses, along with form-based maximum density residential uses. Transition to adjacent single-family neighborhoods may be accomplished through appropriate design solutions. Limited manufacturing uses may be permitted under certain conditions.
As illustrated in the Zoning Map (Attachment 3), The Property is currently zoned R-48. The surrounding area on the Shoreline side of N 145th Street has a mix of zoning, including R-6 (single-family, six [6] units per acre), R-8 (eight [8] units per acre), and Mixed Business (MB). The area contains a mix of dwelling units, including single-family; a Walgreens drug store on the property immediately adjacent to the west; a restaurant across N 145th Street in Seattle; and other businesses and multifamily housing along Aurora Avenue N. PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENT: Staff analysis of the proposed rezone considered information gathered from a pre-application meeting on December 5, 2017; a neighborhood meeting on June 2, 2018 (Attachment 6, Invitation; Attachment 7, Summary, which was mailed to attendees on June 26, 2018); the Shoreline Comprehensive Plan; and the Shoreline Municipal Code, Title 20 Unified Development Code. As required by SMC 20.30.120 and 20.30.180, public notice of the rezone application for the proposal was posted on site, mailed to all residents within 500 feet and the SEPA notification list, advertised in the Seattle Times, and posted on the City’s website
3
Attachment B
8a-18
on July 2, 2018 (Attachment 10). Notice of the August 15, 2018 public hearing (Attachment 14) was posted on site, mailed to residents, advertised in the Seattle Times, and posted on the City’s website on August 1, 2018. The address list for mailings is included as Attachment 15 and the signed Declaration of Mailing is Attachment 16. The Affidavit of Publication will be included as an Exhibit for the public hearing record as soon as the City receives it. AGENCY COMMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The City of Shoreline is acting as Lead Agency for the SEPA review and environmental determination. The SEPA Determination of Nonsignificance (Attachment 13) was mailed to the notification list, including State Departments of Commerce and Ecology, neighboring jurisdictions, local organizations, and tribes, on July 19, 2018. The City received one comment from the King County Historic Preservation Program (Attachment 11). Attachment 12 is the Applicant’s response. The Applicant has submitted Certificates of Water Availability for the Property from North City Water District. Staff from Ronald Wastewater District provided information to the Applicant regarding Sanitary Sewer requirements and General Facility Charges during the December 5, 2017 pre-application meeting. Information from the Water and Sewer Districts would be applicable to a potential future development project. City staff also provided information about Drainage Requirements, Frontage Improvements, and other applicable codes and regulations at the December 5, 2017 pre-application meeting. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS: The Applicant requests the rezone of two parcels from R-48 to MB. SMC 20.40.040(C) states the purpose of the non-residential MB zone:
The purpose of the mixed business zone (MB) is to encourage the development of vertical and/or horizontal mixed-use buildings or developments along the Aurora Avenue and Ballinger Way corridors.
In contrast, SMC 20.40.030(C) states the purpose of the R-48 zones:
The purpose of high density residential, R-18, R-24, R-36 and R-48 zones, is to provide for a mix of predominantly apartment and townhouse dwelling units and other compatible uses.
Rezones are provided for in Shoreline Municipal Code (SMC) 20.30.320. The purpose of a rezone is a mechanism to make changes to a zoning classification, conditions, or concomitant agreement applicable to property. Changes to the zoning classification that
4
Attachment B
8a-19
apply to a parcel of property are text changes and/or amendments to the official zoning map. SMC 20.30.060 classifies a rezone as a Type C decision. Pursuant to Table 20.30.060, the City of Shoreline Hearing Examiner, after holding an open record public hearing and preparing findings and conclusions, makes a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council is the final decision-making authority on a rezone. Rezone Applications – Legal Standard Three general rules apply to rezone applications:
1. there is no presumption of validity favoring a rezone; 2. the rezone proponent must demonstrate that circumstances have changed since
the original zoning; and 3. the rezone must have a substantial relationship to the public health, safety,
morals, and general welfare. Phoenix Development Inc. v. City of Woodinville, 171 Wn. 2d 820, 834 (2011) (citing Citizens for Mount Vernon v. City of Mount Vernon, 133 Wash. 2d 861, 947 P.2d 1208 [1997]). However, as is the case for the present rezone application, when a proposed rezone implements the policies of a comprehensive plan, the rezone proponent is not required to demonstrate changed circumstances. Bjarnson v. Kitsap County, 78 Wash. App. 840, 899 P.2d 1290 (1995). The decision criteria set forth in SMC 20.30.320(B) address these general rules as well as other considerations the City has established for determining whether or not a rezone should be granted. Decision Criteria – SMC 20.30.320(B) Decision criteria that the Hearing Examiner must examine for a rezone are set forth in SMC 20.30.320(B). The Applicant provided responses (in Attachment 9 and copied below) to the following decision criteria and staff has analyzed each of the criteria below. SMC 20.30.320(B) provides that an application for a rezone of property may be approved or approved with modifications if: 1. The rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Applicant’s Response: The property sits adjacent to Walgreens in an area that is “Mixed Use 1” under the City of Shoreline’s Comprehensive Plan. The Walgreen parcel is zoned MB, Mixed Business, which is the usage most consistent with both the existing Walgreen’s zoning and the “Mixed Use 1” designation of the Comprehensive Plan, and the usage for which we are asking. Another thing of note – the property
5
Attachment B
8a-20
is near the intersection of Aurora and 145th, a commercial and Rapid Transit corridor where one of Shoreline’s light rail stations will be located, which in itself would warranty the high density zoning designation.
Staff Analysis:
The site location, directly off of N 145th Street and one parcel west of Aurora Avenue N, is near an important intersection of transit corridors. Aurora Avenue N contains Bus Rapid Transit lanes for the King County Metro E Line. N 145th Street will be the location of a future Lynnwood Link light rail station. The Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies listed below articulate the need for additional housing choice and a mix of uses to support neighborhood serving businesses and transit service. Staff believes that an MB zoning designation would facilitate this use mix better than R-48.
Goal LU II: Establish land use patterns that promote walking, biking and using transit to access goods, services, education, employment, recreation. Goal CD I: Promote community development and redevelopment that is aesthetically pleasing, functional, and consistent with the City’s vision. Goal H I: Provide sufficient development capacity to accommodate the 20 year growth forecast and promote other goals, such as creating demand for transit and local businesses through increased residential density along arterials; and improved infrastructure, like sidewalks and stormwater treatment, through redevelopment. H2: Provide incentives to encourage residential development in commercial zones, especially those within proximity to transit, to support local businesses. H3: Encourage infill development on vacant or underutilized sites. NE1. Promote infill and concurrent infrastructure improvements in areas that are already developed in order to preserve rural areas, open spaces, ecological functions, and agricultural lands in the region.
Based on the noted Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies and the MB zoning being more in alignment with the MU1 Land Use Designation, the proposed rezone satisfies SMC 20.30.320(B)(1).
2. The rezone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or general
welfare.
Applicant’s Response: Conversely, the rezone will enhance public health, safety and the general welfare. In fitting with the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan, the site, once redeveloped, will be a piece of land and a building (or buildings) which will be
6
Attachment B
8a-21
attractive and will appeal to customers and tenants of sound economic and moral structure, and the surrounding sidewalks and streets will be made wider and safer. Examples abound in the Comprehensive Plan Policy Manual:
i. Land Use Element 1. Goal LU II: Establish land use patterns that promote walking biking
and using transit to access goods, services, education, employment recreation.
2. LU9: The Mixed-Use1 (MU1) designation encourages the development of walkable places with architectural interest that integrate a wide variety of retail, office, and service uses, along with form-based maximum density residential uses. Transition to adjacent single-family neighborhoods may be accomplished through appropriate design solutions. Limited manufacturing uses may be permitted under certain conditions.
ii. Housing Element 1. Goal H1: Provide sufficient development capacity to accommodate
the 20 year growth forecast and promote other goals, such as creating demand for transit and local businesses through increased residential density along arterials; and improved infrastructure, like sidewalks and stormwater treatment, through redevelopment.
2. H2: Provide incentives to encourage residential development in commercial zones, especially those within proximity to transit, to support local businesses.
3. H3: Encourage infill development on vacant or underutilized sites. iii. Transportation Element
1. Goal TV1: Encourage alternative modes of transportation to reduce the number of automobiles on the road, promote a healthy city, and reduce carbon emissions.
2. T33: Strengthen Aurora Avenue N as a high usage transit corridor that encourages cross-country, seamless service.
3. T49: Expand the city’s pedestrian network. Prioritize projects shown on the Pedestrian System Plan included in the TMP using the following criteria:
o Ability to be combined with other capital projects or leverage other funding;
o Proximity to a school or park; o Located on an arterial; o Located in an activity center, such as Town Center, North
City, Ballinger, or connects to Aurora Avenue N; o Connects to an existing walkway or the Interurban Trail; o Connects to transit; and/or o Links major destinations such as neighborhood businesses,
high density housing, schools, and recreation facilities.
Staff Analysis:
7
Attachment B
8a-22
The City is currently designing corridor improvements for N 145th Street to accommodate increased traffic and multimodal access for the future light rail station. The segment between Interstate 5 and Aurora Avenue N is further divided into three sections. Based on grant funding cycles and existing capital funding commitments within the city, improvements to the segment closest to Aurora (where The Property is located) are unlikely to be funded for at least the next decade. Redevelopment of The Property, which would trigger frontage improvements, could potentially be a way to realize updated sidewalk standards before the City is able to devote capital project resources to this area. Redevelopment would also trigger updated stormwater standards and more efficient building design (through adherence to updated Energy Code requirements) that would also contribute to improved public health, safety, and general welfare. This proposed rezone satisfies SMC 20.30.320(B)(2).
3. The rezone is warranted in order to achieve consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan.
Applicant’s Response: We’re not asking for anything different than is the city’s intent under the Comprehensive Plan. As it stands now, with the existing zoning of R-48 (48 units per acre), if a developer were to build on the parcel’s existing 65,712sf, he or she would be limited to 72 units of residential only, whereas the city’s vision for the future of Shoreline in that locale calls for a combination of residential and commercial. The Comprehensive Plan labels it as Mixed Use 1. All we’re asking for is the same zoning that was given the adjacent parcel Walgreens in 2016 (MB), which was the intent of the city anyway, since both were given the designation of Mixed Use 1 in the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Analysis: The Comprehensive Plan land use designation that would be appropriate for the current R-48 zoning would be High Density Residential. The most common implementing zoning for MU1 is Mixed Business. Given the inconsistency between existing zoning and land use designations for The Property, the rezone is warranted in order to achieve consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. This proposed rezone satisfies SMC 20.30.320(B)(3).
4. The rezone will not be materially detrimental to uses or property in the immediate vicinity of the subject rezone. Applicant Response:
Again we refer to the specifics laid out in the Comprehensive Plan Manual for the requested zoning under the “Natural Environment Element:”
8
Attachment B
8a-23
1. Goal NE V. Protect clean air and the climate for present and future generations through reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and promotion of efficient and effective solutions for transportation, clean industries, and development.
2. NE1. Promote infill and concurrent infrastructure improvements in areas that are already developed in order to preserve rural areas, open spaces, ecological functions, and agricultural lands in the region.
Staff Analysis:
Potential redevelopment of The Property would result in a more modern building, which would likely include an updated design aesthetic in addition to complying with current Building Code regulations that are more focused on energy efficiency and safety. The Property is located at the “gateway” to Shoreline for people coming from the south, whether to the 145th Street light rail station or heading north on Aurora Avenue. The City invested millions of dollars in revitalizing the Aurora Avenue Corridor and expects to see millions of dollars of improvements to the 145th Street Corridor from Sound Transit, WSDOT, and other regional entities. New housing development that includes frontage improvements would complement past and proposed investments, and would be unlikely to be materially detrimental to surrounding properties. This proposed rezone satisfies SMC 20.30.320(B)(4).
5. The rezone has merit and value for the community.
Applicant’s Response:
At a point in the future when the property is developed under the guidelines of the requested zoning, the public will benefit not only by the aforementioned environmental element above, but economically as well. Once more we quote from the Comprehensive Plan, under the “Economic Development Element.”
1. ED9: Promote land use and urban design that allows for smart growth and dense nodes of transit-supportive commercial activity to promote a self-sustaining local economy.
2. ED12: Revitalize commercial business districts, and encourage high density mixed-use in these areas.
3. ED21: Support public/private partnerships to facilitate or fund infrastructure improvements that will result in increased economic opportunity.
4. ED27: Develop a vision and strategies for creating dense mixed-use nodes anchored by Aurora’s retail centers, including how to complement, support, and connect them with mid-rise residential, office, and destination retail buildings.
Staff Analysis:
9
Attachment B
8a-24
In addition to the reasons already stated, new residential development will require the payment of Transportation, Park, and Fire Impact Fees, which fund system-wide improvements to accommodate growth within the community. This proposed rezone satisfies SMC 20.30.320(5).
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above applicant responses to the rezone criteria and the Planning Department’s analysis, Planning recommends APPROVAL of the Rezone for PLN18-0019. The two parcels identified in this Staff Report should be rezoned to Mixed Business (MB). __________________________________ Miranda Redinger, AICP, Senior Planner August 1, 2018 Attachments: 1.

1) Purpose: The purpose of rezoning the Linden II parcel is twofold – to be consistent with the
recently adopted comprehensive plan and thereby work to enhance the livability and beauty of
the area and to enhance the value of the asset for the owner and the owner’s children. There
currently is no planned redevelopment of the parcel. The owner only wants to pass along to his
children an asset which will be safe and will grow in value. Someday it will be developed
though, either by the owner’s children or through a sale to a developer, and when that
happens, it would be to everyone’s benefit that it be done through the eyes of what the city
planners and the citizens of Shoreline have envisioned for the area.
2) Decision Criteria:
a. The rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; the property sits adjacent to
Walgreens in an area that is “Mixed Use 1” under the City of Shoreline’s
Comprehensive Plan. The Walgreen parcel is zoned MB, Mixed Business, which is the
usage most consistent with both the existing Walgreen’s zoning and the “Mixed Use 1”
designation of the Comprehensive Plan, and the usage for which we are asking.
Another thing of note – the property is near the intersection of Aurora and 145th, a
commercial and Rapid Transit corridor where one of Shoreline’s light rail stations will be
located, which in itself would warranty the high density zoning designation.
b. The rezone will not adversely affect the public health safety, or general welfare.
Conversely, the rezone will enhance public health, safety and the general welfare. In
fitting with the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan, the site, once redeveloped, will be
a piece of land and a building (or buildings) which will be attractive and will appeal to
customers and tenants of sound economic and moral structure, and the surrounding
sidewalks and streets will be made wider and safer. Examples abound in the
Comprehensive Plan Policy Manual:
i. Land Use Element
1. Goal LU II: Establish land use patterns that promote walking biking and
using transit to access goods, services, education, employment
recreation.
2. LU9: The Mised-Use1 (MU1) designation encourages the development of
walkable places with architectural interest that integrate a wide variety of
retail, office, and service uses, along with form-based maximum density
residential uses. Transition to adjacent single-family neighborhoods may
be accomplished through appropriate design solutions. Limited
manufacturing uses may be permitted under certain conditions.
ii. Housing Element
1. Goal H1: Provide sufficient development capacity to accommodate the 20
year growth forecast and promote other goals, such as creating demand
for transit and local businesses through increased residential density
along arterials; and improved infrastructure, like sidewalks and stormwater
treatment, through redevelopment.
10

8a-35
2. H2: Provide incentives to encourage residential development in
commercial zones, especially those within proximity to transit, to support
local businesses.
3. H3: Encourage infill development on vacant or underutilized sites.
iii. Transportation Element
1. Goal TV1: Encourage alternative modes of transportation to reduce the
number of automobiles on the road, promote a healthy city, and reduce
carbon emissions.
2. T33: Strengthen Aurora Avenue N as a high usage transit corridor that
encourages cross-country, seamless service.
3. T49: Expand the city’s pedestrian network. Prioritize projects shown on
the Pedestrian System Plan included in the TMP using the following
criteria:
o Ability to be combined with other capital projects or leverage other
funding;
o Proximity to a school or park;
o Located on an arterial;
o Located in an activity center, such as Town Center, North City,
Ballinger, or connects to Aurora Avenue N;
o Connects to an existing walkway or the Interurban Trail;
o Connects to transit; and/or
o Links major destinations such as neighborhood businesses, high
density housing, schools, and recreation facilities.
c. The rezone is warranted in order to achieve consistency with the Comprehensive
Plan; we’re not asking for anything different than is the city’s intent under the
Comprehensive Plan. As it stands now, with the existing zoning of R-48 (48 units per
acre), if a developer were to build on the parcel’s existing 65,712sf, he or she would be
limited to 72 units of residential only, whereas the city’s vision for the future of Shoreline
in that locale calls for a combination of residential and commercial. The Comprehensive
Plan labels it as Mixed Use 1. All we’re asking for is the same zoning that was given the
adjacent parcel Walgreens in 2016 (MB), which was the intent of the city anyway, since
both were given the designation of Mixed Use 1 in the Comprehensive Plan.
d. The rezone will not be materially detrimental to uses or property in the immediate
vicinity of the subject rezone; Again we refer to the specifics laid out in the
Comprehensive Plan Manual for the requested zoning under the “Natural Environment
Element:”
1. Goal NE V. Protect clean air and the climate for present and future
generations through reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and
11

promotion of efficient and effective solutions for transportation, clean
industries, and development.
2. NE1. Promote infill and concurrent infrastructure improvements in areas
that are already developed in order to preserve rural areas, open spaces,
ecological functions, and agricultural lands in the region.
e. The rezone has merit and value for the community; at a point in the future when the
property is developed under the guidelines of the requested zoning, the public will
benefit not only by the afore mentioned environmental element above, but economically
as well. Once more we quote from the Comprehensive Plan, under the “Economic
Development Element.”

Attachment 12- SEPA Comment Received July 12, 2018
Good afternoon Ms. Redinger,
As the historic preservation service provider for the City of Shoreline, our office is made aware of all
SEPA related projects in the city. I recently reviewed the SEPA checklist for this project, the rezoning
of 14511 and 14507 Stone Avenue N, from R-48 to MB. In our opinion, the preparer of the SEPA
Environmental Checklist erred in their answer to B.13.a when they suggested there were no buildings
on the site that are over 45 years old and eligible for listing in national, state, or local preservation
registers. In our opinion, the Linden II Apartments, constructed in 1964, are an intact, representative
example of a mid-century low-rise apartment building and may be eligible for listing as a City of
Shoreline landmark.
We realize this rezone doesn’t entail demolition of this potentially historic property, at present, but the
rezone would make the current use non-conforming, and the likelihood of the apartments being
replaced in the near future with larger, more commercial buildings is very high. We would encourage
your office to consider the possibility of a mitigated DNS in order to have the applicant prepare some
documentation on the history of the building, in order to determine whether it would be locally eligible
for landmark designation.
Thank you for this consideration, and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have further questions.
Sincerely,
J. Todd Scott, AIA

Decision Criteria
• Decision criterion that the Hearing Examiner must examine for a rezone is set forth in SMC 20.30.320(B). The City may approve, or approve with modifications, an application for a rezone of property if:
Attachment B
8a-75
1. The rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
LU9: The Mixed-Use 1 (MU1) designation encourages the development of walkable places with architectural interest that integrate a wide variety of retail, office, and service uses, along with form-based maximum density residential uses. Transition to adjacent single-family neighborhoods may be accomplished through appropriate design solutions. Limited manufacturing uses may be permitted under certain conditions.
Attachment B
8a-76
1. The rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
• Site location is near intersection of two transit corridors.
• Multiple Land Use, Community Design, Housing, and Natural Environment Goals and Policies support need for additional housing choice and mix of uses to support neighborhood-serving businesses and transit service.
Attachment B
8a-77
2. The rezone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or general welfare.
• Redevelopment would comply with current standards, including improved energy performance and storm-water requirements.
• Frontage improvements could implement updated 145th Street corridor design before City is able to devote capital project resources.
Attachment B
8a-78
3. The rezone is warranted in order to achieve consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.
• Current zoning (R-48) is not consistent with Mixed Use 1 designation, proposed zoning would achieve consistency.
– R-48 is an implementing zone for High Density Residential Comp. Plan designation
– Mixed Business is the implementing zone for MU1
Attachment B
8a-79
4. The rezone will not be materially detrimental to uses or property in the immediate vicinity of the subject rezone.
• Redevelopment that complies with current building, energy, and development codes and housing market trends would be unlikely to reduce value of neighboring properties.
• Redevelopment would support regional and local investment.
Attachment B
8a-80
5. The rezone has merit and value for the community.
• The potential for additional housing options near transit and retail, which complies with updated codes, upgrades sidewalks, and pays impact fees has merit and value for the surrounding neighborhood and the greater Shoreline community.
Attachment B
8a-81
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Rezone Application PLN18-0019.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM CITY OF SHORELINE, WASHINGTON
AGENDA TITLE: Discussion of Ordinance No. 840 - Authorizing a One Year Extension to the Right-of-Way Franchise with Puget Sound Energy for the Distribution of Natural Gas Within the City
DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office PRESENTED BY: Christina Arcidy, Management Analyst ACTION: ___ Ordinance ____ Resolution ____ Motion _X_ Discussion ____ Public Hearing
PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT: As per SMC 12.25.010, all utilities which use the City’s rights-of-way for operation and maintenance of their facilities are required to have a non-exclusive franchise with the City. The City’s existing non-exclusive right-of-way franchise with Puget Sound Energy (PSE) (Attachment A) for the distribution of natural gas within the City was passed by Council on October 9, 2017. SMC 12.25.080 limits all right-of-way franchise agreements to 15 years and the existing franchise agreement’s 1-year term will expire on October 31, 2018. While the City and PSE have been in discussions and negotiation for a new right-of-way franchise for many months, the new proposed franchise has not yet been finalized. Staff is concerned that there is not enough time to complete the negotiations for the new franchise and have the franchise routed through the City of Shoreline’s and PSE’s approval process before the expiration date of the current franchise on October 31, 2018. Proposed Ordinance No. 840 (Attachment B) would provide a one-year extension to the existing franchise agreement with PSE and would terminate October 31, 2019, or upon the effective date of a new franchise, whichever occurs first. All terms and conditions of the proposed one-year extension are unchanged from the existing franchise; only the term (length of the agreement) has been changed. The proposed one-year extension being discussed tonight would allow staff to negotiate a new long-term franchise agreement for natural gas service in the City. RESOURCE/FINANCIAL IMPACT: This franchise extension will have no financial impact to the City. The fees and taxes that the City currently receives from PSE will continue under this one-year extension of the existing franchise agreement.
8b-1
RECOMMENDATION No formal action is required at this time. Staff recommends that Council discuss the various aspects of the proposed ordinance granting this limited franchise extension and determine if there are any further questions or information that staff should bring back for Council consideration. Council is currently scheduled to consider adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 840 on October 15, 2018. Approved By: City Manager DT City Attorney JA-T

BACKGROUND As per SMC 12.25.010, all utilities which use the City’s rights-of-way for operation and maintenance of their facilities are required to have a non-exclusive franchise with the City. The City’s existing non-exclusive right-of-way franchise with Puget Sound Energy (PSE) (Attachment A) for the distribution of natural gas within the City was passed by Council on October 9, 2017. SMC 12.25.080 limits all right-of-way franchise agreements to 15 years and the existing franchise agreement’s 1-year term will expire on October 31, 2018. While the City and PSE have been in discussions and negotiation for a new right-of-way franchise for many months, the new proposed franchise has not yet been finalized. Staff is concerned that there is not enough time to complete the negotiations for the new franchise and have the franchise routed through the City of Shoreline’s and PSE’s approval process before the expiration date of the current franchise on October 31, 2018.
DISCUSSION Proposed Ordinance No. 840 (Attachment B) would provide for a one-year extension to the existing franchise agreement with PSE. The terms of the proposed Franchise are identical to the utility’s current franchise agreement except for the term, which is extended by one year and would terminate October 31, 2019, or upon the effective date of a new franchise, whichever occurs first. New Franchise Agreement Consideration As the City and PSE must enter into a new Franchise Agreement, SMC Section 12.25.070 identifies the considerations the City should review when granting a Right-of-way franchise:
1. The applicant’s past service record in the city and in other communities 2. The nature of the proposed facilities and services 3. The proposed area of service 4. Whether the proposal would serve the public needs and the overall interests of
the city residents 5. That the applicant has substantially complied with the material terms of the
existing franchise 6. The quality of the applicant’s service, response to consumer complaints, and
billing practices 7. That the applicant has the financial, legal, and technical ability to provide the
services, facilities, and equipment as set forth in the application 8. The applicant’s proposal is reasonable to meet the future community needs and
interests, taking into account the cost of meeting such needs and interests Based on staff’s coordination with PSE and PSE’s history of operation in Shoreline over the years, staff is confident that PSE is in substantial compliance with the criteria identified in SMC Section 12.25.070 and this one year extension to the franchise should
8b-3
be granted when proposed Ordinance No. 840 is brought back for Council action on October 15, 2018.
RESOURCE/FINANCIAL IMPACT This franchise extension will have no financial impact to the City. The fees and taxes that the City currently receives from PSE will continue under this extension of the existing franchise agreement.
RECOMMENDATION No formal action is required at this time. Staff recommends that Council discuss the various aspects of the proposed ordinance granting this limited franchise extension and determine if there are any further questions or information that staff should bring back for Council consideration. Council is currently scheduled to consider adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 840 on October 15, 2018.
