Amendments Summary Matrix
Please find attached the following for the Planning and Community Development Committee's review
and comment at the January 12, 2009 regularly scheduled Committee meeting:
• Draft revised Title 17 (Land Adjustments and Divisions)
• Draft revised Title 18 (Zoning)
• Draft Amendments Summary Matrix
Draft Revisions to Titles 17 and 18:
Staff has prepared proposed potential revisions to the table of contents for Titles 17 and 18 to provide the
Committee with an overview of the potential orientation and areas of change for the revisions. Staff is
seeking the Committee's feedback on the draft tables of contents for each of the Titles before staff and the
City's consultant begin substantive code writing on the revisions. Staff will discuss the ideas and issues
for each of the proposed tables of contents during the January 12th Committee meeting.
Please note staff has incorporated elements of the tracking methods described in the legend provided in
the draft amendment summary matrix in the draft revisions to Titles 17 and 18 to illustrate how these
tracking methods could be used.
Draft Amendments Summary Matrix:
Per previous Committee direction, staff has prepared a draft amendments summary matrix. The goal of
this matrix is to provide the Committee, the Council and other interested parties with an iterative
summary of the amendments proposed and considered through the legislative review process.
To assist the Committee in understanding how the draft summary matrix could be used, staff has
completed one row of it with a representative only code amendment. Staff is seeking Committee
feedback and direction on this matrix at the Januar 12th Committee meetin .Staff has included a le end Y g g
of tracking methods on the draft amendments summary matrix to describe how text changes would be
tracked in the actual text amendment documents.

1 The proposed code revisions for Title 17 must retain consistency with RCW 58 (Boundaries and Plats).
2 This Chapter could contain thresholds and standards for when planning or other related studies or
analyses are required. An example could be a neighborhood circulation plan that would address multi-
modal connections with surrounding and future development within a certain distance of the development
(e.g. 0.25 of a mile).

1 R-C is the acronym for Residential Conservancy.
2 The zoning districts acronyms specified here are representative only and are taken from an existing jurisdiction that has a density based residential zoning district designation system.
3 Infill residential development standards could be specific to certain areas of the City that are currently or
will experience significant Infill. Standards addressing scale and mass compatibility and design consistency
could be developed that would help assure that new or reconstructed residential structures are constructed
in general harmony with the existing neighborhood.

4 This Chapter could contain non-zone based standards such as the current performance standards in the
City's existing Zoning Code that would be applicable to certain or all parts of the City.
5 This proposed Chapter could include current Chapter 18.66 (Hearing Examiner).
6 This Chapter could address the potential opportunity to retain some portion of the density that could be
achieved on the portion of a development that has environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands or steep
slopes. It could be an incentive to retain and protect these environmentally sensitive areas rather than filling them in or building on them.
~ The current code has a chapter entitled "Variances, Special Exceptions and Administrative Appeals". The
current Special Exceptions could be reassigned to the proposed Chapter 18.30 -Supplementary
Regulations for Specific Uses, while the Administrative Appeals could be reassigned to proposed Chapter
18.42 -Review Types and Procedures.
