of two zoning designations for this one piece of property as well
as other similar situations in the city.

87 -1 -R: Renton /Tukwila Boundary Exchange Rezone
Tukwila Planning Department
Rezone recently- annexed area from Renton B -1 (Business
District), G -1 (General Zone), and M -P (Manufacturing Park)
to Tukwila R -A (Agricultural), C -2 (Regional Retail), and M -1
(Light Industry), per Tukwila's Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Map. The area is currently designated "Unclassified" in
anticipation of permanent zoning.
The properties to be rezoned lie west of the most easterly
Burlington Northern Railroad line and east of Tukwila's
former eastern boundary, generally between I -405 and South
180th Street.
Parks /Open Space; Commercial, Public Facilities;
Light Manufacturing.
Renton Zoning: B -1 (Business District), M -P (Manufacturing
Park), and G -1 (General Zone).

Page 2
FINDINGS
1. Property Area: The subject property is 101.65 acres.
2. Existing Development: The existing land uses include primarily retail,
wholesale and manufacturing. They also include vacant land and a very small
amount of single - family residential. It is expected that residential uses
will eventually redevelop for commercial use and commercial /manufacturing
will remain. The vacant land lying between the railroad tracks may even-
tually redevelop as an extension of the Interurban Bicycle Trail.
3. Terrain: The terrain of the area is generally flat.
4. Vegetation: The vegetation of the area varies ranging from bushes, flowers,
trees and other landscaping elements in developed areas to grass, weeds and
trees in the undeveloped area between the railroad tracks.
The staff requests changing the City of Tukwila Zoning Map to redesignate the
subject area recently annexed from Renton to R -A (Agricultural), C -2 (Regional
Retail), and M -1 (Light Industry) (see Attachment A), as indicated by Tukwila's
Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. The previous Renton zoning was B -1 (Business
District), M -P (Manufacturing Park), and G -1 (General Zone). This is consistent
with the proposed Tukwila zoning.
The area currently proposed for rezoning was annexed to Tukwila from Renton on
February 5, 1987 as part of the Renton /Tukwila boundary adjustment. By means of
this simultaneous annexation /deannexation, Tukwila and Renton adopted the east-
ern boundary of the Burlington Northern right -of -way between the two cities.
The boundary realignment substantially improved emergency access and utility
maintenance and will simplify the development of large properties by having to
deal with only one jurisdiction, rather than two.
The applicable Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) criteria are printed in bold, with
pertinent findings beneath.
TMC 18.84.030 - Criteria for Granting Zoning Map Reclassification
1. The use or change in zoning requested shall be in conformity with the
adopted comprehensive land use policy, the provisions of this title and the
public interest.
The proposed zoning designations are consistent with Tukwila's Comprehensive
Land Use Plan Map. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map designates the
rezone area variously as Parks and Open Space, Public Facilities, Light
Manufacturing and Commercial (see Attachment A). The zoning categories

proposed (R -A, M -1 and C -2) conform with the Comprehensive Plan designa
tions. The existing uses comply with the proposed zoning. (See Attach-
ments B and C for proposed zoning.)
2. The use or change in zoning requested in the Zoning Map or this title for
the establishment of commercial, industrial or residential use shall be
supported by an architectural site plan showing the proposed development.
The zoning request is for an area -wide rezone of a developed area. No
specific development is requested as the impetus for this rezone.
3. When the request is not in agreement with the Comprehensive Land Use Policy
Plan, the applicant shall provide evidence to the City Council's satisfac-
tion that there is an additional need for the requested land classification.
The zoning request is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
(22/87 -1 -R)
CONCLUSIONS
1. The rezones are necessary to complete the annexation /deannexation of the
Tukwila /Renton adopted boundary between the two cities.
2. The rezone designations conform with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map.
3. The rezone designations are consistent with the existing uses.
4. The rezone designations comply with the criteria for granting zoning map
reclassifications.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the above Findings and Conclusions, the staff recommends that the
Planning Commission approve the rezone request.

As you will recall, the City Council acted on the
Renton /Tukwila annexation zoning at the Council's meeting of May
4, 1987. The Council's action was to adopt an amended version of
the ordinance that appeared in the packet and to send the zoning
issue with respect to the southern most parcel back to the
planning commission to be processed along with an amendment to
the M -1 Zoning regulation. Enclosed is a revised ordinance and
an ordinance summary accomplishing the Council's action with
respect to the two northern most parcels. I will be preparing an
additional ordinance to deal with the southern most parcel.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

Re: Proposed Zoning
17300 West Valley Highway
Leber Ink Co. Property
To the Members of the City Council:
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.
P:'r,AS.;L. °.iii :..:9,5:_:Si ?.', ... ,�,...u:, ? ^ .i.; ;'.f:'.i•,'.T:(:..,,._ ..
ImgoD 41987
It appears that one of the considerations in the Renton -
Tukwila Boundary Exchange was an understanding and recognition
of existi • uses without downzoning and the creation of non-
conforming uses and its inherent pro • ems.
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.
(208) 882.2929
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 not allow ink manufacturers.

Thou for your consideration of this proposal.
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.

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.
Technological
Advances for
All Newspapers
Technology to the rescue! Today any
newspaper, regardless of printing
process, can look and feel cleaner
and fresher than ever before possible.
U.S. Printing Ink technology makes
it happen.
Letterpress tradition no longer
needs to be associated with readers'
sooty fingers. Our Aqua Kleen'
letterpress news inks have the
waterbased emulsion technology
which reduces rub by as much as
50% to run clean, stay clean, from
news stand through a "clean hands"
read. Our Civilox* version stays
equally clean. And all Aqua - Kleen
inks cut mist by up to 50 %.
If offset quality is your strength,
cleanliness comes to you, too, with
our KleenSet' line of technologically
advanced low -rub inks. Refreshingly
clean formulations deliver superior
rub resistance, control dot gain, and
avoid roller and blanket build -up.
Switched to flexography? Our
Aqua - News' line offers you just
the right waterbased flexo inks that
not only look and feel as fresh as a
babbling brook, but print crisper
halftones and more uniform solids
than you'd expect.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Planning Department
DATE: April 21, 1987
SUBJECT: LEBER INK COMPANY NON - CONFORMING USE
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: April 21, 1987
City Council Page 2
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.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT

(206) 433 -1849
April 21, 1987
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 (copy
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

RF /sjn
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.

than the existing nonconforming use. In permitting such chance,
the board of adjustment may require appropriate conditions and
safeguards in accord with the provisions of this title;
(6) Any structure, or structure and land in combination,
in or on which a nonconforming use is superseded by a per-

yards or other characteristics of the structure, it may be
continued so long as the structure remains otherwise lawful
subject to the following previsions:
(1) No such structure may be enlarged or altered in
a way which increases its degree of nonconformity. Altera-
tions, additions or enlargements may be allowed as long as
319 -2 (Tukwila 8/32.

the work done does not extend further into any required yard
or violate any other portion of this title. Complete plans
shall be required of all work contemplated under this sec-
tion.
(2) Should such structure be destroyed by any means to
an extent of more than fifty percent of its replacement cost
at time of destruction, in the judgment of the city's build-
ing official, it shall. not be reconstructed_.except in conformity
with provision q_f.this title. excepE at the R -1 zone,
structures that are nonconforming in regard to yard setbacks
but were in conformance at the time of construction may be
reconstructed to their original dimensions and location on
the lot.
(3) Should such structure be moved for any reason or
any distance whatsoever, it shall thereafter conform to the
regulations for the zone in which it is located after it is
moved.
(4) When a nonconforming structure, or structure and
premises in combination, is vacated or abandoned for twenty -
four consecutive months, the structure, or structure and
premises in combination, shall thereafter be required to be

We are the owners of approximately two acres of property immediately to the
east of the intersection of Strander Boulevard and West Valley Road. At-
tached as Exhibit A is a depiction of our property.
After entry of a decision from the Hearing Examiner, and following negotia-
tion with the Cities of Renton and Tukwila, a Short Plat was recorded. Our
property was divided into two separate lots, and we dedicated at no cost a
right of way 90 feet wide through the middle of the property to extend
Strander Boulevard to the east. That property now belongs to Tukwila. As
part of that Short Plat, we also agreed to improve the street signalization
for traffic in all directions and to improve the new roadway extending east
from that intersection at our expense. Planning and Public Works officials
at the City of Tukwila were consulted by both Renton and us during this
process, and had input into the final configuration of the Short Plat and
the development criteria for the two lots. Enclosed as Exhibit.B find a
letter dated January 29, 1987 from Mr. Ross Earnst, the Tukwila City
Engineer, outlining development criteria for Lot 1 of the Short Plat prior
to recording of the Short Plat or annexation to Tukwila.
As owners of this property, we wish to support the proposed C -2 zoning on
our property as part of this annexation.

Development plans on our property had been pending in the City of Renton for
over one year prior to annexation of this property by the City of Tukwila.
The zoning in Renton was B -1, which is comparable to C -2 zoning in Tukwila.
Immediately after recording this Short Plat, this property was annexed into
the City of Tukwila, and we discovered that the zoning in the Tukwila compre-
hensive plan had to be adopted by Tukwila before development could proceed.

tion, when made to the Planning Commission, together with notices of the
dates and locations that the Planning Commission, City Council, and any
other body may hold regarding this zoning. Notice should be sent as
