I am extremely worried about the Planning Commission revising the allowed uses in my building's zoning district. My building located at 4712 S. 134th St. Tukwila, WA, currently has two of my renters. A Roofing company in the upper part of my building and a business that repairs and paints damaged commercial vehicles in the lower part of my building. Prior to renting out my building I owned and operated a machine shop for 30 years which manufactured airplane parts. When I sold my business I left the electrical wiring in place, which is probably worth $100,000.00 dollars. I did this so if I were to lose my renters, I would have the option to set up another machine shop. It would seem to me if this proposed zoning revision is approved, my building and other business near mine, will become worth a lot less money and will keep many more people from getting jobs and could possible created immediate job losses. There used to be 6 houses behind my building and 6 houses to the east of my building. When Sound Transit came through, they bought those houses and demolished all them. Also the light rail makes more noise than my machine shop ever did. All up and down 134th St. there are manufactuing Business's. I would appreciate and strongly recommend 48 1
