Summary

The planning and development committee recommended and the council concurred with a hearing examiner’s recommendation to rezone 101 Southwest 40th Street from Commercial Office to Commercial Arterial; an ordinance was scheduled for second and final reading at the next meeting.

The Renton City Council agreed to advance a proposed rezone for a property at 101 Southwest 40th Street to second and final reading after the planning and development committee recommended concurrence with the hearing examiner.

The committee reported the hearing examiner held a public hearing March 18 and issued a recommendation to approve the rezone, file number LUA24000281. The recommendation moves the parcel (King County Parcel Number 3926800040) from Commercial Office (CO) zoning to Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning. The committee recommended an ordinance to accomplish the change and the council voted to place the ordinance on second and final reading at the next council meeting.

Why it matters: the rezone is a site-specific land-use action; the council has final review authority for Type 4 land-use permits under Renton Municipal Code provisions cited by committee staff. The council’s vote to advance the ordinance will allow final council action at the next meeting unless a council member requests otherwise or new information is submitted.

What was recorded: Council Member Prince moved concurrence with the planning and development committee report and Council Member McGurvin seconded. The council voted in favor and the motion carried.

What’s next: the ordinance will appear for second and final reading at the next council meeting; the council may adopt or reject the ordinance then.
