Sabey--PCS1afffip1--PL I 1 -001 -CPA+Pezone,doc File L06-096 ZONING MAP AMENDMENT/REZONE REZONE CRITERIA: 1. The proposed amendment to the zoning map is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan Per the discussion of Comprehensive Plan Criteria (above), redeveloping and reinvigorating the industrial uses along E. Marginal Way is one of Tukwila's key priorities, as is the continued enhancement of the community's economic well-being. The proposed rezone request from MIC/H to LI allows a broad range of uses, including light industrial and commercial, to support a varied and healthy economy for Tukwila. It is consistent with this priority and accompanying goals and policies. 2. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with the scope and purpose of this title and the description and purpose of the zone classification applied for. Per TMC 18.32.010 Purpose, the Light Industrial District is "..Antended to provide areas characterized by distributive and light manufacturing uses, with supportive commercial and qf ,fice uses.

The LI zone designation is also most consistent with Seattle's Industrial Commercial (IC) zoning on adjacent property. Consistency between Tukwila and Seattle zoning will facilitate future development. 3. There are changed conditions since the previous zoning became effective to warrant the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map Since 2007, approximately 62 acres immediately adjacent to the subject property, including 32 acres in Tukwila, was rezoned from Manufacturing Industrial Center/Heavy (MIC/H) to Light Industrial (LI) to accommodate planned future mixed-use commercial redevelopment. As discussed, the applicant had wanted to include the subject property in the original 2007 rezone, but did not own the parcel at that time. Having purchased the property, the applicant is proceeding with the Comprehensive Plan and zoning map changes so that the entire project has the same zoning. This will enable the owner to prepare for eventual large scale development that includes the subject property. By approving the 2007 rezone, the City Council indicated that the LI designation was appropriate for the general location. 4. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map will be in the interest of furtherance of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare, and will not Rf 6 06/14/2011 WALong Range ProjectsWIC Study\PlaniiiiigCommission\Sabey Map Change--Community Bank\Sabey--PCStaffRpt--PL 11-001- C PA+ Rezone. doe 79
