As a reminder, I am not in favor of making single family homes or well-kept duplexes into non-conforming uses in the Renton Highlands. I have been disagreeing with some city staff and some council members on this topic recently. We can provide greater zoning flexibility, such as allowing townhouses for instance, without making the single family homes and good duplexes non-conforming. The people that have been diligently upgrading their properties through the years, or building single family homes, deserve to be treated fairly in this regard. Making them non-confoming will not help them, and will not help the greater Renton Highlands.
