REPORT ORGANIZATION <br />The Foster and B2k projects are on separate parcels, and each development proposal needs to <br />meet the conditional use permit, variance, and design review criteria for approval. Following <br />detailed project descriptions for the Foster High expansion and then Birth to Kindergarten Early <br />Learning Center, the report is broken into sections for the conditional use permit, variance, and <br />design review requests. In each of these sections, the projects will be compared to the criteria <br />for permit approval. The compilation of recommendations and suggested conditions of approval <br />for all three land use permits follow each section. <br />TMC 18.104.030 allows for all permit applications related to a single project to be bundled <br />together in a consolidated hearing and approval procedure, using the highest numbered land <br />use decision type applicable to the project application. Variances and Conditional Use Permits <br />are Type 3 land use decisions made by the Hearing Examiner. Design Review is a Type 4 <br />decision made by the Board of Architectural Review. The Variance, Conditional Use Permit, and <br />Design Review requests will all be decided by the Board of Architectural Review in an open <br />record public hearing on June 22, 2017. Additionally, the applicant submitted a sign variance <br />application that will be processed as a hearing examiner decision. <br />Tukwila School District assumed the lead agency status for SEPA determination and issued a <br />Mitigated Determination of Non - Significance on May 9, 2017 (Attachment D). <br />FINDINGS <br />Site Information <br />This project proposes construction on two parcels; expansion of Foster High School and related <br />site changes at 4242 S. 144th Street and the construction of a new school for young children on <br />land currently housing baseball diamonds north of Showalter Middle School at 4610 S. 142nd <br />Street. <br />The Foster High School parcel is shaped like a rectangle and stretches from the western border <br />of the high school to the easternmost border of Showalter Middle School, with a small rectangle <br />cut out mid - parcel for the Tukwila Pool building. <br />5 <br />VA <br />
