Sabey Corporation Comprehensive Plan Amendment August 9. 2007 Pane 9 <br /> Table 3 shows the distribution of land uses within the Manufaeturing4ndustrial Center in <br /> Tukwila in 2045, the City's key industrial zone. The majority of the land (913 acres) is <br /> developed. Other uses include the Ding County International Airport (175 acres) and vacant land <br /> (134 acres). The subject property is 64 acres and represents about 5% of the land within the MIC. <br /> Table 3.

About 85% of the more than 18,000 employees in the Center were employed by <br /> firms needing industrial land, including processing firms (including manufacturing) and <br /> wholesale firms. <br /> Table 4.

About 400 of the jobs (53 of the jobs were in <br /> distribution and 350 of the jobs (47 were office related. These categories of employment do <br /> not precisely match the categories presented in Table 4. The distribution employees are probably <br /> covered under "Wholesale" in Table 4 and the office related employees are probably accounted <br /> for in "Professional Office in Table 4. <br /> The data presented in this section suggest that the proposed change in plan designation on the <br /> subject property would affect about 6% of the land area and about 4% of the employment in the <br /> MIC. The amount of land zoned in the City Light Industrial (U) would increase from 20 -acres to <br /> 84- acres. <br /> Granting the Comprehensive Plan Amendment would result in a change in the composition of <br /> economic activity on the site, possibly increasing economic activity on the subject property.
