BACKGROUND
On April 20, 1987, the Planning staff was contacted by Lewis Leber of the Leber
Ink Company, 17300 West Valley Highway. Although the Leber Ink Company operated
as a principally permitted use in Renton's M -P (Manufacturing Park) zone, it was
determined that under Tukwila's code, ink manufacturing such as the Leber Ink
Company is not a principally permitted use in the M -1 - Light Manufacturing
Zone. It is a permitted outright use in the M -2 - Heavy Industry Zone. The
Leber Ink Company can continue operations indefinitely as a non - conforming
use, so long as there is not expansion of plant or operations. Correspondence
regarding the Leber Ink Company is included as Attachments A through D.
At the May 4, 1987 public hearing, the City Council decided to delay designating
the M -1 district on the Leber Ink Company property. The City Council also ini-
tiated a text amendment to the M -1 district to determine whether ink and paint
manufacturing should be permitted in the M -1 district. Due to the similarities
between these two uses, the Council felt both uses should be reviewed.
Following closure of the public hearing, the Planning Commission will make a
recommendation to the City Council concerning the proposed text amendment. The
Commission will include reasons in its recommendation which indicate the basis
for its recommendation.
DISCUSSION
FINDINGS
Ink manufacturing takes previously - prepared pigments and mixes them with oil,
glycol or water. The purpose of the M -1 district is to permit those industrial
uses which are generally non - nuisance in terms of air and water pollution,
noise, vibration, glare and odor. To this extent ink manufacture clearly com-
plies with the intent of the M -1 zone through its limited impacts. Its use of
previously processed materials is consistent with the intent of the M -1 Light
Industry Zone. It is oriented toward processing and not primary manufacturing.
The M -1 Light Industrial and M -2 Heavy Industrial reflect the difference as
shown by Attachments E and F.
Most ink now produced, including all that made by the Leber Ink Company, is
not flammable. Printing inks for gravure or solvent flexographic printing are
flammable. The Tukwila Fire Department felt that threat of fire posed by ink
manufacture could be adequately controlled in the production process and plant
layout. The threat of serious exposure in the event of a fire was sufficiently
limited to warrant inclusion of ink manufacturing in the M -1 zone as a
principally - permitted use.
Paint manufacturing uses a similar procedure to combine previously - prepared
pigments to make paint. The air, water, noise, glare, odor and vibration
impacts are limited similarly to those of ink manufacture. Tukwila currently
has two paint manufacturing plants, Far West and Daniel Boone Paints located
in the M -1 district. Currently they are legal, non - conforming uses and would
become principally - permitted uses in the proposed amended M -1 zone.

PROPOSED CODE REVISIONS
CONCLUSIONS
87 -1 -CA: M -1 Zoning Code Revision
Page 3
The M -1 zone and M -2 zone have the same standards for height, setbacks and
parking requirements. Both M -1 and M -2 zones allow maximum building heights
of four stories and 45 feet. Front yards must be a minimum of 25 feet, and
rear yards five feet. There is no side yard or minimum mean lot requirement.
Both zones allow residential uses. Accordingly, the protection or buffering the
M -1 and M -2 zone offer is the same. Acknowledging the similarities between M -1
and M -2 zone requirements, City staff felt that paint manufacturing would be an
appropriate use in the M -1 zone. Planning and Fire staffs, however, felt that
the issue of residential uses in manufacturing zones should be reviewed at a
later date to determine if is appropriate to permit those conflicting uses or to
develop greater buffer between residences and industrial uses.
A. M -1 District -- Light Industry
The proposed code revisions are included in boldface, as follows:
TMC 18.40.020(5) Principally Permitted Uses
Manufacturing, processing and /or packaging previously prepared mater-
ials including, but not limited to, bags, brooms, brushes, canvas,
clay, clothing, fur, furniture, glass, ink manufacturing, paint
manufacturing, paper, plastics, tile and wood.
B. M -2 District -- Heavy Industry
Paint manufacturing shall be deleted as shown in brackets in bold face:
TMC 18.42.020(2) Principally Permitted Uses
The manufacturing, processing, assembling, and /or packaging of the
following materials: chemicals, dyes, light metals, [paint manu-
facturing,] plastics, rubber, solvents, soaps, wood and wood by-
products, clay, coal, glass, enamels, textiles, fabrics, plaster,
agricultural products or by- products, and animal products or by-
products (no rendering or slaughtering).
1. The ink manufacturing process conforms with the intent of the M -1 - Light
Manufacturing zone.
2. The impacts of ink manufacturing are similar to impacts of other principally
permitted M -1 uses.
3. The paint manufacturing process conforms with the intent of the M -1 - Light
Manufacturing zone.
4. The primary impacts of the paint manufacturing process are similar to the
impacts of other principally- permitted M -1 uses, including ink manufacture.

5. The height and setback requirements are identical in the M -1 and M -2 zones.
6. Both the -M-1-and-M-2 zones - a) low- potef►ti al - conf l i ctfng uses, such as resi-
dential use.
7. The protection and buffering which the M -1 and M -2 zones offer are iden-
tical.
Based on the above Conclusions, the staff recommends that the Planning Commis-
sion approve the request to add ink and paint manufacturing as principally -
permitted uses in the M -1 Light Industry zone. The M -2 Heavy Industry zone
should be simultaneously modified to reflect the inclusion of ink and paint
manufacturing in the M -1 Light Industry zone.

ATTACHMENT A
Attached is a letter sent to Lewis Leber of the Leber Ink Company, 17300 West
Valley Highway, Tukwila.
Mr. Leber's situation did not come to our attention until he contacted us on
April 20, 1987, asking if his ink manufacturing /processing plant was a permitted
use in the recommended M -1 zone. It appears that this use is not allowed in the
M -1 zone, and would become a legal, non - conforming use. Paint (and by exten-
sion, ink) manufacturing and processing is permitted outright only in the M -2
zone. Mr. Leber's facility was a principally permitted use in the Renton M -P
zone.
Although Mr. Leber and other property owners were sent notification of the
Planning Commission hearings, Mr. Leber did not contact us until the delibera-
tions were concluded. His concerns were, therefore, not part of the discussion.
At this point, Mr. Leber has three options available to him. Planning staff
recommends Option . This option addresses the actual light industrial -type
impacts of ink processing and manufacturing.
1. Continue operations as a legal, non - conforming use.
Under this alternative, the Leber Ink Company may continue operation
indefinitely so long as there is no expansion of the building and
operations.
2. Request Comprehensive Plan change and spot M -2 rezone of his property.
The Comprehensive Plan indicates light manufacturing for the enti '*e
area. Spot zoning is generally discouraged. We feel this aporoacn
would be highly problematic.

Request City Council consideration of amendment to the zoning code to
include ink (and paint) as a principally permitted use in the M -1 zone.
Given the low- nuisance, light - industrial nature (i.e., non - flammable,
non - polluting) of ink manufacture and processing, this would appear
to be the preferred approach. If desired, paint processing could be
included in the language change to end two paint facilities' non -
conforming status.

ATTACHMENT B
Regarding our telephone conversation yesterday, I have found that, under
Tukwila's zoning code, paint (and ink) manufacturing, processing, assembling
is a principally permitted use in only the M -2 Heavy Industry zone. Your ink
manufacturing facility is not a principally permitted use in the M -1 zone per
TMC 18.42.020 (copy attached). Instead, it would become a legal, non - conforming
use in the recommended M -1 Light Industry zone. Two paint manufacturing/
processing facilities are the precedent for this interpretation. Both are
located in M -1 zones, and are considered legal, non - conforming uses.
As a legal, non - conforming use, your facility may continue to operate as long
as the use remains lawful, subject to the provisions of TMC 18.70.040 (cooy
attached). TMC 18.70.040(4) may be of particular interest. It states that "no
existing structure devoted to a use not permitted by this title in the zone in
which it is located shall be structurally altered except in changing the use of
the structure to a use permitted in the zone in which it is located."
The Tukwila Planning Commission recommended the M -1 zoning in its March 28, 1987
meeting. You, and other property owners and businesses, were mailed advance
notice of this meeting. The Tukwila City Council will hold its hearing on the
rezone request at 7:00 p.m. on May 4, 1987, in the Council Chambers at Tukwila
City Hall, 6200 Southcenter Boulevard. At this time you may comment on the
recommended zoning.
There are three alternatives available to you.
1. Continue operations as a legal, non - conforming use.
You may continue operations indefinitely, so long as you do not expand your
operations or your structure.

2. Request Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Spot Rezone.
You may apply for a Comprehensive Plan change and spot rezone of your prop-
erty through the Planning Department. The staff would evaluate the request
and refer the issue to the Planning Commission. The City Council would hold
a public hearing on the proposal and make its decision. Since the entire
area is designated "light industrial" on the Comprehensive Plan, such a
change would be difficult to justify.
3. Request City Council consideration of changes to the zoning code to include
ink manufacturing as a principally permitted use in the.M -1 zone.
This approach would appear to be more promising, given the nature of the
impacts of ink manufacturing.
Please give me a call at 433 -1848 between 8:30 and 12:30 if you have further
questions on this matter. If I am unavailable, please ask for Jack Pace of the
Planning staff.

The Leber Ink Company has been in business since 1928. Our main
plant was in the Seattle area with branches in Portland, the Bay
Area and Los Angeles. We have had a number of discussions with
Planning Commissions and Fire Marshalls about the nature of our
business and the similarity to paint. Our products are substan-
tially less hazardous than paint. We have never had a serious prob-
lem in any location.
We make only oil or glycol paste or water flexographic inks and the
bulk of the products we produce can be shipped legally by commer-
cial airliners (flammable inks cannot). We ship no products from
our Tukwila plant that carry a Flammable -Red Label warning.
Printing inks for gravure or solvent flexographic printing are
Flammable but we don't make these and don't intend to.
Leber Ink Company was sold to the United States Printing Ink Company
(USPI) in 1985. The building in Tukwila is owned by Relco, a part-
nership of the former owners of Leber Ink. Relco leases the build-
ing to USPI with a ten year option to purchase. USPI may wish to
expand the facility if the business growth meets their expectations.
They would need proper zoning to accomplish this.
The plant is the largest printing ink plant in the Pacific Northwest
in terms of employment and amount produced. Finished products are
shipped throughout the Northwest and to export markets. Specialty
products are shipped nationwide. The plant has a rail siding, dock
height loading, sprinklers and underground storage for the heavy
oils used in oil inks. It was designed to make inks.
When we were in Renton, we were zoned to carry on our normal activi-
ties. We believe the Tukwila zoning should enable us to carry on
our activities and allow for eventual expansion to meet the growth
USPI anticipates. The partners of Relco and USPI want to work with
you,to make this possible.
Sincerely,
Lewis Leber

Agenda item 6B for the May 4, 1987, meeting is a zoning proposal
for property included in the Renton - Tukwila Boundary Exchange.
This letter addresses the property at 17300 West Valley Highway,
occupied by the Leber Ink Co. (a division of United States
Printing Ink Co.).
Prior Renton zoning was manufacturing park (M -P). Ink manufactur-
ing was a recognized use in this classification.
Agenda item 6B, as proposed, would zone this area M -1 (light
industry). The Tukwila Planning Department is of the opinion
that ink manufacturing is not a permitted or allowed use in
this classification.
1 It appears that one of the considerations in the Renton -
Tukwila Boundary Exchange was an understanding and recoani..ion
of existina uses without down zoning and the creation of non-
conforming uses and its inherent problems.
The passage of the proposed M -1 zoning for the area in question,
without further consideration, would be contrary to that
recognition and is unacceptable to the owners of the subject
property, who have not resisted the boundary exchange.
The problem appears, in part, due to a variation in definitions
in the Comprehensive Plans of Renton and Tukwila. Tight industrial
in the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan does not allow i manufacturers.
The Planning Department of the City of Tukwila seems to favor
amending the M -1 classification to include ink companies as a
principally permitted use in the M -1 zone.

We are in agreement with this proposal. However, we urge'the
City Council to defer zoning classification on the subject
property until the required procedures to amend the M -1
classification have been met.
This will give assurance to both the City and the land owners
that ink manufacturing is, as it has been, a recognized and
principally permitted use.
Th -- ou for your consideration of this proposal.

SUBJECT: SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING DATE FOR ZONING CODE AMENDMENT
87 -1 -CA (M -1 ZONING CODE REVISION)
BACKGROUND
At the May 4, 1987 public hearing, the City Council decided to
delay designating the M -1 zoning district on the Leber ink
Company property. The City Council also initiated a text
amendment to the M -1 district to determine whether ink and paint
manufacturing should be permitted in the M -1 district. Due to
the similarities between these two uses, the Council felt both
uses should be reviewed.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 28, 1987, to
review the proposed text amendment. The Commission recommended
the City Council adopt the attached text amendment.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council schedule a public hearing for
the code amendment on June 15, 1987.

DISCUSSION
FINDINGS
87 -1 -CA: M -1 Zoning Code Revision
Page 2
On April 20, 1987, the Planning staff was contacted by Lewis Leber of the Leber
Ink Company, 17300 West Valley Highway. Although the Leber Ink Company operated
as a principally permitted use in Renton's M -P (Manufacturing Park) zone, it was
determined that under Tukwila's code, ink manufacturing such as the Leber Ink
Company is not a principally permitted use in the M -1 - Light Manufacturing
Zone. It is a permitted outright use in the M -2 - Heavy Industry Zone. The
Leber Ink Company can continue operations indefinitely as a non - conforming
use, so long as there is not expansion of plant or operations. Correspondence
regarding the Leber Ink Company is included as Attachments A through D.
At the May 4, 1987 public hearing, the City Council decided to delay designating
the M -1 district on the Leber Ink Company property. The City Council also ini-
tiated a text amendment to the M -1 district to determine whether ink and paint
manufacturing should be permitted in the M -1 district. Due to the similarities
between these two uses, the Council felt both uses should be reviewed.
Following closure of the public hearing, the Planning Commission will make a
recommendation to the City Council concerning the proposed text amendment. The
Commission will include reasons in its recommendation which indicate the basis
for its recommendation.
Ink manufacturing takes previously - prepared pigments and mixes them with oil,
glycol or water. The purpose of the M -1 district is to permit those industrial
uses which are generally non - nuisance in terms of air and water pollution,
noise, vibration, glare and odor. To this extent ink manufacture clearly com-
plies with the intent of the M -1 zone through its limited impacts. Its use of
previously processed materials is consistent with the intent of the M -1 Light
Industry Zone. It is oriented toward processing and not primary manufacturing.
The M -1 Light Industrial and M -2 Heavy Industrial reflect the difference as
shown by Attachments E and F.
Most ink now produced, including all that made by the Leber Ink Company, is
not flammable. Printing inks for gravure or solvent flexographic printing are
flammable. The Tukwila Fire Department felt that threat of fire posed by ink
manufacture could be adequately controlled in the production process and plant
layout. The threat of serious exposure in the event of a fire was sufficiently
limited to warrant inclusion of ink manufacturing in the M -1 zone as a
principally - permitted use.
Paint manufacturing uses a similar procedure to combine previously- prepared
pigments to make paint. The air, water, noise, glare, odor and vibration
impacts are limited similarly to those of ink manufacture. Tukwila currently
has two paint manufacturing plants, Far West and Daniel Boone Paints located
in the M -1 district. Currently they are legal, non - conforming uses and would
become principally - permitted uses in the proposed amended M -1 zone.

STAFF REPORT 87 -1 -CA: M -1 Zoning Code Revision
to the Planning Commission Page 3
The M -1 zone and M -2 zone have the same standards for height, setbacks and
parking requirements. Both M -1 and M -2 zones allow maximum building heights
of four stories and 45 feet. Front yards must be a minimum of 25 feet, and
rear yards five feet. There is no side yard or minimum mean lot requirement.
Both zones allow residential uses. Accordingly, the protection or buffering the
M -1 and M -2 zone offer is the same. Acknowledging the similarities between M -1
and M -2 zone requirements, City staff felt that paint manufacturing would be an
appropriate use in the M -1 zone. Planning and Fire staffs, however, felt that
the issue of residential uses in manufacturing zones should be reviewed at a
later date to determine if is appropriate to permit those conflicting uses or to
develop greater buffer between residences and industrial uses.
PROPOSED CODE REVISIONS
A. M -1 District -- Light Industry
The proposed code revisions are included in boldface, as follows:
TMC 18.40.020(5) Principally Permitted Uses
Manufacturing, processing and /or packaging previously prepared mater-
ials including, but not limited to, bags, brooms, brushes, canvas,
clay, clothing, fur, furniture, glass, ink manufacturing, paint
manufacturing, paper, plastics, tile and wood.
B. M -2 District -- Heavy Industry
Paint manufacturing shall be deleted as shown in brackets in bold face:
TMC 18.42.020(2) Principally Permitted Uses
The manufacturing, processing, assembling, and /or packaging of the
following materials: chemicals, dyes, light metals, [paint manu-
facturing,] plastics, rubber, solvents, soaps, wood and wood by-
products, clay, coal, glass, enamels, textiles, fabrics, plaster,
agricultural products or by- products, and animal products or by-
products (no rendering or slaughtering).
CONCLUSIONS
1. The ink manufacturing process conforms with the intent of the M -1 - Light
Manufacturing zone.
2. The impacts of ink manufacturing are similar to impacts of other principally
permitted M -1 uses.
3. The paint manufacturing process conforms with the intent of the M -1 - Light
Manufacturing zone.
4. The primary impacts of the paint manufacturing process are similar to the
impacts of other principally- permitted M - uses, including ink manufacture.

5. The height and setback requirements are identical in the M -1 and M -2 zones.
6. Both the M -1 and M -2 zones allow potential conflicting uses, such as resi-
dential use.
7. The protection and buffering which the M -1 and M -2 zones offer are iden-
tical.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the above Conclusions, the staff recommends that the Planning Commis-
sion approve the request to add ink and paint manufacturing as principally -
permitted uses in the M -1 Light Industry zone. The M -2 Heavy. Industry zone
should be simultaneously modified to reflect the inclusion of ink and paint
manufacturing in the M -1 Light Industry zone.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Planning Department
DATE: April 21, 1987
SUBJECT: LEBER INK COMPANY NON- CONFORMING USE
ATTACHMENT A
Attached is a letter sent to Lewis Leber of the Leber Ink Company, 17300 West
Valley Highway, Tukwila.
Mr. Leber's situation did not come to our attention until he contacted us on
April 20, 1987, asking if his ink manufacturing /processing plant was a permitted
use in the recommended M -1 zone. It appears that this use is not allowed in the
M -1 zone, and would become a legal, non - conforming use. Paint (and by exten-
sion, ink) manufacturing and processing is permitted outright only in the M -2
zone. Mr. Leber's facility was a principally permitted use in the Renton M -P
zone.
Although Mr. Leber and other property owners were sent notification of the
Planning Commission hearings, Mr. Leber did not contact us until the delibera-
tions were concluded. His concerns were, therefore, not part of the discussion.
At this point, Mr. Leber has three options available to him. Planning staff
recommends Option This option addresses the actual light industrial -type
impacts of ink processing and manufacturing.
1. Continue operations as a legal, non - conforming use.
Under this alternative, the Leber Ink Company may continue operation
indefinitely so long as there is no expansion of the building and
operations.
2. Request Comprehensive Plan change and spot M -2 rezone of his property.
The Comprehensive Plan indicates light manufacturing for the entire
area. Spot zoning is generally discouraged. We feel this approach
would be highly problematic.
MEMORANDUM to:
Council
Request City Council consideration of amendment to the zoning code to
include ink (and paint) as a principally permitted use in the M -1 zone.
Given the low- nuisance, light - industrial nature (i.e., non - flammable,
non- polluting) of ink manufacture and processing, this would appear
to be the preferred approach. If desired, paint processing could be
included in the language change to end two paint facilities' non -
conforming status.

ATTACHMENT B
Regarding our telephone conversation yesterday, I have found that, under
Tukwila's zoning code, paint (and ink) manufacturing, processing, assembling
is a principally permitted use in only the M -2 Heavy Industry zone. Your ink
manufacturing facility is not a principally permitted use in the M -1 zone per
TMC 18.42.020 (copy attached). Instead, it would become a legal, non - conforming
use in the recommended M -1 Light Industry zone. Two paint manufacturing/
processing facilities are the precedent for this interpretation. Both are
located in M -1 zones, and are considered legal, non - conforming uses.
As a legal, non - conforming use, your facility may continue to operate as long
as the use remains lawful, subject to the provisions of TMC 18.70.040 (cooy
attached). TMC 18.70.040(4) may be of particular interest. It states that "no
existing structure devoted to a use not permitted by this title in the zone in
which it is located shall be structurally altered except in changing the use of
the structure to a use permitted in the zone in which it is located."
The Tukwila Planning Commission recommended the M -1 zoning in its March 28, 1987
meeting. You, and other property owners and businesses, were mailed advance
notice of this meeting. The Tukwila City Council will hold its hearing on the
rezone request at 7:00 p.m. on May 4, 1987, in the Council Chambers at Tukwila
City Hall, 6200 Southcenter Boulevard. At this time you may comment on the
recommended zoning.
There are three alternatives available to you.
1. Continue operations as a legal, non - conforming use.
You may continue operations indefinitely, so long as you do not expand your
.operations or your structure.
Mr. Lewis Leber
April 21, 1987

2. Request Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Spot Rezone.
You may apply for a Comprehensive Plan change and spot rezone of your prop-
erty through the Planning Department. The staff would evaluate the request
and refer the issue to the Planning Commission. The City Council would hold
a. public hearing on the proposal and make its decision. Since the entire
area is designated "light industrial" on the Comprehensive Plan, such a
change would be difficult to justify.
3. Request City Council consideration of changes to the zoning code to include
ink manufacturing as a principally permitted use in the M -1 zone.
This approach would appear to be more promising, given the nature of the
impacts of ink manufacturing.
Please give me a call at 433 -1848 between 8:30 and 12:30 if you have further
questions on this matter. If I am unavailable, please ask for Jack Pace of the
Planning staff.

The Leber Ink Company has been in business since 1928. Our main
plant was in the Seattle area with branches in Portland, the Bay
Area and Los Angeles. We have had a number of discussions with
Planning Commissions and Fire Marshalls about the nature of our
business and the similarity to paint. Our products are substan-
tially less hazardous than paint. We have never had a serious prob-
lem in any location.
We make only oil or glycol paste or water flexographic inks and the
bulk of the products we produce can be shipped legally by commer-
cial airliners (flammable inks cannot). We ship no products from
our Tukwila plant that carry a Flammable -Red Label warning.
Printing inks for gravure or solvent flexographic printing are
Flammable but we don't make these and don't intend to.
Leber Ink Company was sold to the United States Printing Ink Company
(USPI) in 1985. The building in Tukwila is owned by Relco, a part-
nership of the former owners of Leber Ink. Relco leases the build-
ing to USPI with a ten year option to purchase. USPI may wish to
expand the facility if the business growth meets their expectations.
They would need proper zoning to accomplish this.
The plant is the largest printing ink plant in the Pacific Northwest
in terms of employment and amount produced. Finished products are
shipped throughout the Northwest and to export markets. Specialty
products are shipped nationwide. The plant has a rail siding, dock
height loading, sprinklers and underground storage for the heavy
oils used in oil inks. It was designed to make inks.
When we were in Renton, we were zoned to carry on our normal activi-
ties. We believe the Tukwila zoning should enable us to carry on
our activities and allow for eventual expansion to meet the growth
USPI anticipates. The partners of Relco and USPI want to work with
you,to make this possible.
Sincerely,

Re: Proposed Zoning

To the Members of the City Council:
ATTACVENT RD R
O �(UIIWI_
MAY 4 1981
Vane _le:
Agenda item 6B for the May 4, 1987, meeting is a zoning proposal
for property included in the Renton - Tukwila Boundary Exchange.
This letter addresses the property at 17300 West Valley Highway,
occupied by the Leber Ink Co. (a division of United States
Printing Ink Co.).
Prior Renton zoning was manufacturing park (M -P). Ink manufactur-
ing was a recognized use in this classification.
Agenda item 6B, as proposed, would zone this area M -1 (light
industry). The Tukwila Planning Department is of the opinion
that ink manufacturing is not a permitted or allowed use in
this classification.
It appears that one of the considerations in the Renton -
Tukwila Boundary Exchange was an unde and recogni j on
of existing uses without downzoning and the creation of non-
conforming uses and its inherent problems.
The passage of the proposed M -1 zoning for the area in question,
without further consideration, would be contrary to that
recognition and is unacceptable to the owners of the subject
property who have not resisted the boundary exchange.
The Planning Department of the City of Tukwila seems to favor
amending the M -1 classification to include ink companies as a
principally permitted use in the M -1 zone.
(206)662.2929
The problem appears, in part, due to a variation in definitions
in the Comprehensive Plans of Renton and Tukwila. Light industrial
in the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan does n't allow ink manufacturers.

We are in agreement with this proposal. However, we urge the
City Council to defer zoning classification on the subject
property until the required procedures to amend the M -1
classification have been met.
This will give assurance to both the City and the land owners
that ink manufacturing is, as it has been, a recognized and
principally permitted use.
