This letter is to let you all know how much I am appreciating the ramp that
was installed at my residence last month by the staff from the Office of
Neighborhood Development Services. I was planning to have right hip surgery a
week or so later which would create a fall risk if I had to use the steps up and down
from my front and back porches. The ramp has been a blessing to me. It provides
safe access to and from my home and helps me to be more self-sufficient.
The office staff was kind and very helpful in processing the paperwork that I
submitted and answering all my questions. The installers were pleasant and
professional in putting the ramp in place. Thank you so much for providing this
program for me and for many others.
Sincerely

MEMORANDUM
January 11 , 2017
TO: Chairperson Dulce Gutierrez, Neighborhood and Community Building
Committee and Committee members Avina Gutierrez and Carmen
Mendez
Cliff Moore, City Manager
FROM: Sara Watkins, Senior Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Community Renewal Law and Examples
Dear Chairperson Gutierrez and Committee Members,
Please accept this memorandum as an outline of the Community Renewal Law, RCW
Chapter 35.81 , for your review and further discussion. This was done at the request of
Committee member Avina Gutierrez, who requested that staff look into the use of this
statute. This memo outlines the law itself, as well as some legal issues surrounding use
of the law. I also include some examples of projects and processes used by other cities
utilizing this statute for your review and discussion.
1. The Community Renewal Law, Chapter 35.81 RCW: Background
The Community Renewal Law was originally passed in 1957 and updated in 2002. The
purpose of the law is to address areas of municipalities suffering from blight and
provide those municipalities a tool to acquire and redevelop blighted areas to stimulate
economic development.
Under the law, "blighted area" is defined as:
an area which, by reason of the substantial physical dilapidation, deterioration,
defective construction, material, and arrangement and/or age or obsolescence
of buildings or improvements, whether residential or nonresidential,
inadequate provision for ventilation, light, proper sanitary facilities, or open
spaces as determined by competent appraisers on the basis of an
examination of the building standards of the municipality; inappropriate uses of
4

land or buildings; existence of overcrowding of buildings or structures;
defective or inadequate street layout; faulty lot layout in relation to size,
adequacy, accessibility or usefulness; excessive land coverage; insanitary or
unsafe conditions; size, adequacy, accessibility or usefulness; excessive land
coverage; insanitary or unsafe conditions; deterioration of site; existence of
hazardous soils, substances, or materials; diversity of ownership; tax or
special assessment delinquency exceeding the fair market value of the land;
defective or unusual conditions of title; improper subdivision or obsolete
platting; existence of persistent and high levels of unemployment or poverty
within the area; or the existence of conditions that endanger life or property by
fire or other causes, or any combination of such factors, is conducive to ill
health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency or crime;
substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the municipality or its
environs, or retards the provision of housing accommodations; constitutes an
economic or social liability; and/or is detrimental, or constitutes a menace, to
the public health, safety, welfare, or morals in its present condition and use.
RCW 35.81 .015(2).
The statute encourages public-private partnership, stating, "A municipality, to the
greatest extent it determines to be feasible ... shall afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the needs of the municipality as a whole, to the rehabilitation or
redevelopment of the community renewal area by private enterprise." RCW 35.81 .030.
"Rehabilitation" and "redevelopment" are both specifically defined in the statute as
follows:
"Rehabilitation" includes the restoration and renewal of a blighted area or
portion or portion thereof in accordance with a community renewal plan, by (a)
carrying out plans for a program of voluntary or compulsory repair and
rehabilitation of buildings or other improvements; (b) acquisition of real
property and demolition or removal of buildings and improvements thereon
where necessary to eliminate unhealthful, insanitary or unsafe conditions,
lessen density, reduce traffic hazards, eliminate obsolete or other uses
detrimental to the public welfare, or otherwise to remove or prevent the spread
of blight or deterioration, or to provide land for needed public facilities; (c)
installation, construction or reconstruction of streets, utilities, parks,
playgrounds, and other improvements necessary for carrying out in the area
the community renewal provisions of this chapter; and (d) the disposition of
any property acquired in such community renewal area for uses in accordance
with such community renewal plan.
5
Memorandum to NCBC members
July 31, 2019
Page 3
"Redevelopment" includes (a) acquisition of a blighted area or portion thereof;
(b) demolition and removal of buildings and improvements; (c) installation,
construction or reconstruction of streets, utilities, parks, playgrounds, and
other improvements necessary for carrying out in the area the community
renewal provisions of this chapter in accordance with the community renewal
plan; (d) making the land available for development or redevelopment by
private enterprise or public bodies (including sale, initial leasing, or retention
by the municipality itself) at its fair value for uses in accordance with the
community renewal plan; and (e) making loans or grants to a person or public
body for the purpose of creating or retaining jobs, a substantial portion of
which, as determined by the municipality, shall be for persons of low income.
RCW 35.81 .015(19) & (18) respectively.
A Community Renewal Plan must be formulated by the municipality as part of the
process. Community Renewal Plans must also be consistent with the city's
comprehensive plan and updates, and, if necessary, any changes to the
comprehensive plan must be made prior to approving the Community Renewal Plan
and its projects. RCW 35.81 .060(1).
Community Renewal Plans must have the following elements:
1 . They must be consistent with the comprehensive plan;
2. They must be sufficiently complete to indicate the proposed actions to be
carried out in the renewal area (i.e. demolition, land acquisition,
improvements, etc.) and must outlining any zoning changes and public
facilities improvements;
3. Must address the need for replacement housing if any housing is lost as a
result of the plan; and
4. May include a plan to address persistent high levels of unemployment or
poverty in the community renewal area.
RCW 35.81 .015(6). Any community renewal project proposed as part of the
Community Renewal Plan includes an undertaking that will eliminate or prevent the
spread of blight, encourage economic growth through job creation or retention, and/or
redevelop or rehabilitate the community renewal area. RCW 35.81 .015(7).
2. Community Renewal Plans: Steps Necessary to Have a Plan
Approved
There are a lot of steps that need to be taken prior to approval of a Community
Renewal Plan. First, staff and a council member committee will need to look at what
6
Memorandum to NCBC members
July 31, 2019
Page 4
areas of the city might fall under the definition of "blight" and determine if any would be
appropriate for a Community Renewal Plan. There may be a number of areas in the
city qualifying under the statutory definitions. Research and evaluation of economic
and non-economic factors will need to be done to determine which location(s) should
take priority based on best fit(s) for the city and private development within the statutory
requirements. This research could include evaluating whether there are interested
private developers interested in the area, whether community members in the area are
supportive of the plan, and where funding will come from to accomplish components of
the plan (if necessary—such as to purchase property or improve infrastructure).
Once areas are vetted and an area or areas are chosen to be further evaluated as part
of a Community Renewal Plan, the City Council must pass an ordinance or resolution
which finds the following:
1 . One or more blighted areas exist in the municipality; and
2. The rehabilitation, redevelopment, or a combination thereof, of such area
or areas is necessary in the interest of the public health, safety, morals or
welfare of the residents of such municipality.
RCW 35.81 .050(1). This creates the need for a community renewal agency to exercise
power and authority with regards to the community renewal areas.
After the ordinance is adopted, the City Council can elect to have the agency and its
powers exercised in one of three ways:
1 . Appointing a board composed of not less than five members which must
include both municipal and elected officials, appointed by the mayor and
approved by the full council; or
2. The City Council can exercise authority with regards to the agency
themselves directly; or
3. The City Council can form a new public corporation outside of the City
Council to exercise the powers outlined in the statute.
In all events, the group of individuals exercising decision-making authority is considered
the community renewal agency.
The agency evaluates the blighted areas outlined in the ordinance or resolution and
comes up with a proposed Community Renewal Plan with proposed appropriate
community renewal projects. In some cities, the agency set up ad hoc committees or
resident advisory committees to get community input during the project planning
process. Consultants have also been hired to help communities visualize how blighted
areas can be improved to further economic development and enhance the community.
7
Memorandum to NCBC members
July 31, 2019

No Community Renewal Plan, or any project thereunder, can be approved by the City
Council unless it is determined that the proposed plan and projects conform to the
comprehensive plan. If the plan and projects do not conform to the comprehensive
plan, the City Council cannot take action on the proposed Community Renewal Plan
until the comprehensive plan or parts of the comprehensive plan for the area have been
prepared as necessary. RCW 35.81 .060(1).
Once it is determined that the plan is in conformance with the comprehensive plan, the
City Council must hold a public hearing on the Community Renewal Plan and
corresponding proposed project(s).1 The notice requirements are different than a
regular public hearing, and require two publications, one per week for two consecutive
weeks not less than ten nor more than thirty days prior to the date of the hearing. RCW
35.81 .060(3). Notice also must be mailed not less than ten days prior to the hearing to
each property owner within the plan area. Id.
After the public hearing, the City Council can approve the plan and its projects if it
makes the following findings:
1 . A feasible plan exists for making available adequate housing for residents
who may be displaced by the project;
2. The community renewal plan conforms to the comprehensive plan for the
municipality;
3. The community renewal plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent
with the needs of the municipality, for the rehabilitation or redevelopment of
the community renewal area by private enterprise;
4. A sound and adequate financial program exists for the financing of the
project; and
5. The community renewal project area is a blighted area as defined in RCW
35.81 .015(2).
RCW 35.81 .060(4). Community renewal plans can be modified by the City Council.
RCW 35.81 .060(5).
Once the plan for the community renewal area is approved through ordinance, then the
plan can be carried out through an RFP procedure, contracting, providing technical
assistance, providing financial assistance, and to survey and appraise the property in
preparation for projects, among other municipal powers as outlined in RCW 35.81 .070.
Regardless of how the agency is set up(i.e. new committee, City Council itself, or a new public corporation),the
City Council is the ultimate decision maker on the Community Renewal Plan and its projects.
8
Memorandum to NCBC members
July 31, 2019

One significant power a municipality has to accomplish the community renewal plan is
to acquire property through eminent domain. RCW 35.81 .080. "Condemnation for
community renewal of blighted areas is declared to be a public use... ." However, using
eminent domain for community renewal areas has been criticized as using public funds
to acquire private property for private use, since the end result of community renewal
projects is private housing and/or commercial economic development. Council will
need to evaluate community renewal areas to determine if eminent domain is
necessary, especially with regards to displacing residential property owners through
eminent domain. Some cities' projects have not required eminent domain, instead
agreeing to purchase properties rather than condemn them. There are many options
available.
If the City acquires property as part of the community renewal plan, it can turn around
and sell or lease the property for a community renewal project to a private entity. It can
also retain the property, but only if the property is retained for parks, education, public
utilities, public transportation, public safety, streets, administrative buildings or civic
centers (as long as they are part of the community renewal plan). RCW 35.81 .090.
Bonding is also allowed to finance projects. RCW 35.81 .100, et. seq. Contracts and
RFPs will need to be specific to the community renewal project and its goals.
Local Improvement Districts (LIDs) are also authorized under the statute to allow the
city to assess certain of the properties (or all of the properties depending on the
improvement) for improvements to infrastructure, such as sidewalks or connection to
sewer, for example. It should be noted that these LIDs are also available outside the
Community Renewal Law forum to repair and replace sidewalks and other public
facilities and infrastructure.

3. Examples of Community Renewal Projects
A list of community renewal projects can be found here under Local Government
Implementation:
http://mrsc.orq/Home/Explore-Topics/Economic-Development/Financinq-Economic-
Development/Community-Renewal-Law.aspx
One example is the City of Shoreline, which declared an abandoned Sears building,
and surrounding parking lots and commercial properties along Aurora Avenue, as
blighted. It determined that the area constituted blight for a number of reasons,
including that the layout of the Sears building created a physical barrier to and from
other commercial sites to the north and south, that there were not adequate road or
pedestrian connections to connect with all of the possible sites in the area, and that it
wasn't delivering on its potential to be a large-scale walkable shopping center for
9
Memorandum to NCBC members
July 31, 2019

Shoreline residents. See:
http:Ilmrsc.orglCorporate/mediaiMedia Library/SampleDocuments/Ords/s55r333.pdf
Shoreline then authorized the City Manager to start the process, obtain appraisals,
acquire property, and take other actions to formulate a community renewal plan for the
area. This original ordinance was passed in September 2012. Shoreline went through
a significant environmental review throughout 2014 for its proposed improvements to
the area. There were public hearings on the draft environmental impact statement in
2015. As far as I can tell, construction has not started. Here is the webpage that is
dedicated to the plan and the overall redevelopment of the Aurora Square community
renewal area:
http://www.shorelinewa.gov/business/aurora-square-community-renewal-area
As part of any community renewal plan discussions, there should be a discussion of the
public relations issues—how information is disseminated, a website with updated
information about the plan and its projects, and community meetings.
Vancouver, Washington, undertook an enormous challenge in its 2005 Fourthplain
Community Renewal Plan, which included residential and commercial properties, an
underutilized commercial corridor, and street and facility improvements. The Plan
focused attention on specific areas and the overall goal was to make the area better for
its residents. Vancouver prepared extensive documentation outlining the background
for the plan, why the plan would benefit residents, and how the plan would be
implemented. It engaged many stakeholders and had a public involvement program
that targeted a diverse group of people, both residents and business people, to be
involved. It engaged the community and made sure that committees and working
groups reflected the community's diversity.
An extensive amount of time was put into the project before the plan was adopted to
ensure that the plan was acceptable to the community and could be accomplished.
Consultants were hired at various steps along the way to help with planning and
process. The 78 page plan can be found in the link below, and I would encourage you
to review it to get a sense of the process and resources necessary for community
renewal planning. It is a good example of a plan and the process, including the public
involvement components, of the community renewal law.

4. Summary of Procedure
Here is a basic summary of the steps to enact a Community Renewal Plan/Projects,
noting that some of the steps could take more time than others:
1 . Research possible locations and determine if they meet the definition
of"blight."
2. Adopt an ordinance or resolution finding that specific areas (or area)
are blighted and redevelopment of those areas (or area) is necessary
in the interest of public health and welfare.
3. Decide how the powers allowed by statute will be carried out:
a. Formation of a new board or commission consisting of municipal
and elected officials;
b. The City Council will act itself; or
c. Formation of a new public corporation.
4. Create a proposed Community Renewal Plan and proposed
Community Renewal Projects.
5. Ensure the proposed plan and projects conforms to the
Comprehensive Plan. If it does not, the Comprehensive Plan must be
amended before the Community Renewal Plan or projects go before
City Council.
6. Provide the proposed plan and projects to City Council.
7. Set and hold a public hearing on the proposed plan and projects.
8. Vote on the proposed plan and projects—the plan and projects must
meet the statutory requirements and be acceptable to Council for
approval. It should be noted that an approved plan and projects may
be modified at a later date by the City Council if necessary.
9. Carry out the Community Renewal Plan (bidding, construction,
infrastructure improvements, etc.).
5. Conclusion
The Community Renewal Law allows the City to evaluate lands that fall under the
statutory definition of"blight" and encourage economic development through a
community renewal plan and its projects. Before a plan can be drafted, there first
needs to be a finding of"blight" in a specific area or areas of the City. To determine
these areas, Council will need to instruct staff to review possible areas that could fall
under the statute, and bring a list to Council, or committee, for review. Council may
want to include community members, business owners, and other stakeholders during
this initial review, and each step of the way.

The law does not create a quick fix for blighted areas, or create funding for
infrastructure improvements. It instead is a method to promote public-private
partnerships to enhance economic development opportunities for cities. The process is
extensive and time consuming, but other communities have been successful, and if the
Council directs staff to move forward, staff will contact other cities to learn from their
experiences.
