a. Upon adoption of specific high- capacity transit alignments by METRO, adopt <br /> policies to avoid development which would restrict establishment of the high <br /> capacity transit system; <br /> b. Preserve rights -of -way controlled by the jurisdiction which are identified for <br /> potential transit use; and <br /> c. Provide METRO an option to acquire property owned by the jurisdiction. <br /> Analysis: Tukwila has a Comprehensive Plan policy in place to address this: 11.1.9 <br /> Reduce reliance on the single- occupancy vehicle for transportation of employees in and <br /> out of the MIC. In support of LU -56, the accompanying implementation strategy states: <br /> Regional /rapid rail service to the MIC. <br /> LU -57 Transit agencies shall strive to provide convenient and economical mass transit <br /> service for the Manufacturing/ Industrial Centers that will result in a decrease in single <br /> occupancy non commercial vehicle trips within the Centers. <br /> Analysis: See LU -56 above. Additionally, the Tukwila Commute Trip Reduction program <br /> supports commuter use of car and van pools and buses in larger businesses in the MIC. <br /> Tukwila works with the Duwamish Transportation Management Association to secure and <br /> encourage transportation alternatives, including increased bus service, for the MIC. <br /> The bus alternative has been affected since service to the MIC reflects a trend of <br /> service hour reduction. <br /> LU -58 Jurisdictions' comprehensive plans for regional Manufacturing/ Industrial Centers <br /> shall demonstrate compliance with the criteria. in order to promote <br /> manufacturing /industrial growth, the Manufacturing/ Industrial Center plan for each <br /> jurisdiction shall establish strategies: <br /> a. To provide capital facility improvement projects which support the movement of <br /> goods and manufacturing /industrial operations; <br /> b. To coordinate planning with serving utilities to ensure that utility facilities are <br /> available to serve such Centers; <br /> c. To provide buffers around the Center to reduce conflicts with adjacent land uses; <br /> d. To facilitate land assembly; and <br /> e. To attract the type of businesses that will ensure economic growth and stability. <br /> Analysis: Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.1.4 Budget for public infrastructure (for <br /> example, roads, sewers, curbs, lighting, parks, open space) Use some capital <br /> improvement funds to encourage in -fill, land assembly, redevelopment, and land <br /> conversion for family -wage jobs, but only if concurrent with substantial private actions. <br /> Infrastructure to support area buildout has been previously identified in the <br /> infrastructure comprehensive plans for transportation, sewer, water and storm <br /> drainage. Tukwila's Six -Year Capital Improvement Plan identifies projects within the <br /> City, including the MIC. Road improvement and utility improvements were completed <br /> along E. Marginal Way South in the mid- 1990's to enhance mobility and capacity. <br /> Adequate current and future capacity exists to serve the MIC with all utilities. Storm <br /> water improvements are under discussion in conjunction with Duwamish River cleanup <br /> to address outfalls to the river. Opportunities exist for private land owner participation <br /> and cooperation with the City of Tukwila in siting pipes and outfalls. <br /> W: \Long Range Projects \MIC Study\ Issues &Opps \MIC Logo \Issues &OppsReport.doc Page 11 <br />
