ATTACHMENT A2 <br />Tukwila South Background Memo <br />COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN <br />TUKWILA SOUTH ELEMENT BACKGROUND MEMO <br />2015 GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT <br />UPDATE to the COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />1. Background Information <br />In 2010 the City of Tukwila completed its long standing goal of annexing Tukwila South. Tukwila South is <br />just over 500 acres in size and represents one of the largest undeveloped greenfields in the Seattle <br />metropolitan area. For comparison's sake, Tukwila South is larger than either South Lake Union or <br />downtown Bellevue. <br />Tukwila South is generally located South of 180th Street and extends to the City's southern limits (Figure <br />2). The area has no strong neighborhood identity at present, and is currently occupied by industrial, <br />agricultural, office, and residential uses. <br />A. Rationale for Revised Element <br />As part of the "Tukwila Tomorrow Committee" work in developing the 1995 Comprehensive Plan, the <br />City of Tukwila completed an in -depth Background Report for Tukwila South. The 1994 report examined <br />many of the key issues for the area and was the basis for the current Tukwila South Element. In light of <br />significant progress that has been made in achieving the shared vision of the City and Segale Properties, <br />LLC regarding Tukwila South since 2004, the current Comprehensive Plan is outdated. Staff has prepared <br />a new element to reflect the actions of the City over the last ten years, and to express its ongoing vision <br />for the area. <br />11 <br />19 <br />
