Mayor VanDusen opened the public hearing on the Six Year
Transportation Program at 7:06 p.m. John McFarland explained that
as required by law, the six year TIP must be passed annually. Once
passed, we are eligible for external funding. The proposed list of
projects has been presented to the Transportation Committee; they
have provided their review and prioritization.
There being no further comments on the issue, the hearing was closed
at 7:10 p.m. This item will be discussed further by the Transportation
Committee and forwarded to a regular meeting for final adoption.
The hearing of the Linardic Design Group was opened at 7:10 p.m.
Rick Beeler Director of the Department of Community
Development, gave a brief overview of the waiver request. The North
Hills office complex building at 5900 Southcenter Boulevard is now
under design review, environmental and building permit reviews. The
applicant submitted his applications for construction of the building,
environmental review and board of architectural review prior to the
moratorium going into effect. He is vested and is able to pursue
construction of his building without needing a waiver. The waiver
request under consideration affects the use of the property. The
applicant is not vested in the use of the property and would like a
waiver in order to submit an application for a rezone and a
comprehensive plan amendment to up -zone the property to C -1 in
order to put commercial uses in his building.

The granting of a waiver would allow the applicant to proceed with his
application for a rezone. If the waiver is not granted, the applicant will
pursue the office tenants that are vested under the existing zoning.
Mayor VanDusen clarified that this request is not for a waiver of the
rezone itself, but a request to apply for the rezone.
MOVED BY RANTS, SECONDED BY LAWRENCE, TO GRANT
THE WAIVER TO ALLOW THE APPLICANT TO PROCEED
WITH THE PROCESSING OF THE REZONE AND
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.*
Councilmember Moriwaki asked if the applicant's intent was to have a
larger building than originally planned. Mr. Ed Linardic, project
engineer, responded that the building being constructed is the same
size. He clarified that the building he is constructing can be used as
CM purposes or PO purposes.
*MOTION CARRIED WITH DUFFIE VOTING NO. WAIVER IS
GRANTED.
MOVED BY DUFFIE, SECONDED BY HERNANDEZ, THAT
THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY.
MOTION CARRIED.
Attorney Hard read an Ordinance of the City of Tukwila, Washington,
amending Tukwila Municipal Code Sections 5.52.110 and 5.52.130
relating to panoram device establishments, containing a severability
clause, and providing for an effective date.
MOVED BY RANTS, SECONDED BY DUFFLE THAT
ORDINANCE NO. 1573 BE ADOPTED AS READ.*
Councilmember Ekberg inquired how the police department would
enforce this ordinance. Cluef Ron Waldner and Sergeant Keith
Haines presented testimony regarding a variety of enforcement issues
dealing with the existing ordinance. Chief Waldner replied that the
new ordinance would be enforced the same way the police are
currently enforcing the existing statute. The current ordinance calls
for partial doorways. The department has had recent success in court
in bringing business into compliance because we've developed some
recent litigation. The suggestion for no doorways in the panoram
booths falls within some enforced legislation in other. communities.
Failure to comply will take us back into court and/or criminal penalties
as the ordinance allows.
*MOTION CARRIED.
MOVED BY MORIWAKI, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT THE
PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY.
MOTION
Attorney Hard read an Ordinance of the City of Tukwila, Washington,
annexing certain real property commonly known as the Cascade View
annexation area, adopting zomng. land use regulations for the
annexed area, providing that said annexed area shall not be required
to assume any share of the City's existing indebtedness, and
establishing an effective date.
EFFECT OF THE MORATORIUM:
PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION:
STAFF REPORT
TO THE CITY COUNCIL
PETITIONER: North Hill Office Building
PROPERTY LOCATION: 5400 Southcenter Boulevard,
Tukwila
The petitioner seeks a rezone and
comprehensive plan change of the
property from P -0 (Professional
Office) /Office to C- 1
(Commercial) /Commercial.
While some of the subject property is fairly level, the north
portion of the site has slopes of approximately %45. For this
reason, it is considered a sensitive area and is affected by the
Moratorium.
Prior to the Moratorium, the applicant submitted an application
for a building permit. This permit is vested with the. Building
Division. The applicant is in the process of completing
environmental review and Design Review. The applicant would like
to request a Comprehensive Plan ammendment and rezone from Office
to Commercial use for this site. The Moratorium prevents the
Comprehensive plan change and rezone review from proceeding .
without a waiver.
The attached letter details the applicant's request, his reasons
for the waiver request and the hardship which he feels the
Moratorium causes. The waiver request relates only to a change
of use via a Comprehensive Plan ammendment /rezone. The specific
development proposal is separately undergoing SEPA review and
Design Review by the Board of Architectural Review.
EFFECT OF THE SENSITIVE AREAS ORDINANCE:
.The Sensitive Areas Ordinance will have no effect on the project
built or its location on the property since the building permit
was applied for prior to the beginning of the Moratorium. Any
project that receives BAR approval could proceed without the
Comprehensive Plan ammendment /rezone. The Comprehensive Plan
ammendment /rezone would only affect the project's use.
DECISION CRITERIA:
Ordinance 1550 states the City Council must use the following
criteria to review waiver requests:
1. The intent of the moratorium
2. The best interests of the City weighed against the interests
of the individual.
3. The circumstances and hardship caused by the moratorium.
4. The damage that could result from strict adherence to the
moratorium.

Dear City Council:
We are requesting a rezone from P.O. to C -1 commercial development at 5400 Southcenter Blvd., an
address within the Sensitive Area Ordinance(S.A.O.) boundary, with a Comprehensive Plan designation
of "P.O ".
We have submitted for a building permit prior to steep slope moratorium, therefore we feel that this project
should be looked at as a project that is not affected by S.A.O.
In order to proceed with this project we do need to apply for rezone prior to expiration of the moratorium.
Without proper zoning my client can not sign potential tenants nor can he secure necessary financing to
proceed with this project.
This project is scheduled for June 28 BAR hearing and hopefully, 'twill be approved. We feel theta building
permit could be issued by middle of July and construction would commence in early August. If we can not
apply for rezone at this time and start construction in late summer that due to nature of the site, start of this
project would have to be postponed until next spring, causing my client unnecessary hardship.
if you have any questions, do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,

Dear City Council:
We are requesting a rezone for C -1 commercial development at 5400 Southcenter Blvd., an address within
the Sensitive Area Ordinance(S.A.O.) boundary currently zoned P.O., with a Comprehensive Plan
designation of "Commercial ". A permit was previously issued for this property, drawing set dated June 22,
1989, for a three story, 17,796 sq.ft. office building. This permit has expired. Our proposal is for a single
level, 9,640 sq.ft. commercial building.
The property in question is unique in that it is divided in zoning designation, with the north portion zoned
and currently in multi- family use, and the South portlon(subject property), as described above. Bordering
to the West is a convenience store, a property already zoned for the C -1 designation we are seeking for
this proposal.
In comparison to the previous building for which a permit was issued, this proposal Is one -half the building
size with just over two-thirds the parking area. Thus, traffic generated in the proposed commercial use at
peak hours could be expected to be a reduction from that of the previous office proposal(please see
traffic report on file at Planning Dept.). In terms of appearance, we are proposing extensive tile accenting,
in use with tilt concrete construction. Overall, the appearance will be considerably up-scale for the building
type(please see artist's rendering on file at the Planning Dept.).
If you have any questions or would IMce further information regarding our proposal, please do not hesitate
to call.
