Background In September 2002, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a six -month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the transit- oriented development (TOD) planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail/Amtrak station (see Figure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at the station are in place. Ordinance 2123, renewing the moratorium, was adopted in June 2006 and expires December 2, 2006. Council must decide whether to renew the ordinance and hold a public hearing, or let the moratorium lapse. To date, Council has renewed the moratorium seven times, modifying it to provide more flexibility in use of the parcels while the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) plan was being developed. When Ordinance 2123 was adopted, it was anticipated that the TUC Plan would be adopted by the end of 2006, precluding any further need to renew the moratorium. However, other projects, such as the design of the permanent commuter rail station, the Tukwila South Master Plan, and the Westfield Southcenter Mall expansion, have taken priority over the review and adoption of the TUC Plan. At this time, TUC Plan adoption is now anticipated in the second quarter of 2007. There is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until the plan for the area is adopted. On October 24, 2006, CAP authorized staff to forward the proposed ordinance to Council for a public hearing at their COW meeting on November 13, 2006. Notice for the public hearing on the moratorium was provided. In addition, individual letters were sent to affected property owners and businesses notifying them of the scheduled hearing. The proposed Ordinance is the same as that currently adopted. Attached is a copy of the proposed ordinance. Discussion The current ordinance: • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to land divisions and such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto - oriented businesses. • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to the expansion of existing businesses on existing lots, sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements, and the extension of a current land use permit.

Mullet, Mayor Steve Lancaster, Director 11/08/2006 dePhone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 5 • More uses are permitted in the TOD area than affected by the moratorium. The moratorium does not affect the filing of approvals related to all other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. Staff has not received any requests to modify the ordinance since the last renewal in November 2006. To date, Staff has not been made aware of any negative effects from the moratorium on plans to develop or redevelop properties in the TOD, most likely due to the limited scope of the moratorium. Should a z specific project be proposed that falls outside the uses permitted under the moratorium, Staff will z consider the appropriateness of the project and bring it forward to the Council for deliberation. 'rt wm Proposed Next Steps v p 1. Council holds a public hearing on the moratorium at their COW meeting on November 13, 2006. N w 2. At the next regular meeting on November 20, 2006, Council has the following options: w i a) Adopt the proposed ordinance. Council renews the Ordinance and its provisions remain the 0 u .. same as the current Ordinance No. 2123. The moratorium remains in effect for six months, at w 0 , the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and renew, modify, or allow it to lapse. u. b) Modify the proposed ordinance. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council u must hold another public hearing and either renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. I- _ c) Take no action. When Ordinance No. 2123 expires on December 2, 2006, land divisions, z F-- development activities and land uses will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. z o Planning and implementation of the TUC vision and other transportation improvements may be LLI ? . more difficult. n o O N Recommendations w w w Place the adoption of the proposed ordinance on the consent agenda at the Council's next regular H v meeting on November 20, 2006. Set the effective date of the ordinance on December 2, 2006, when the : p P- current ordinance expires. i z U = O~ LM Page 2 of 2 C ;$ P:\LYNNM\Longacres TOD\moratorium \November 2006 \COW_11.13.06.doc 11/08/2006 Z October 30, 2006 Dear Sir or Madam: City of Tukwila NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Steven M.

Mullet, Mayor Issue Ordinance 2123, establishing a six -month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the transit - oriented development (TOD) planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail/Amtrak station, will expire on December 2, 2006. Council must decide whether to renew the ordinance and hold a public hearing, or let the moratorium lapse. Background In September 2002, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a six -month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the TOD planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail/Amtrak station (see Figure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at the station are in place. In June 2006, Ordinance 2123 was adopted, renewing the moratorium. This Ordinance expires December 2, 2006. Council must decide whether to renew the ordinance and hold a public hearing, or let the moratorium lapse. To date, Council has renewed the moratorium eight times, modifying it to provide more flexibility in use of the parcels while the TUC plan was being developed. At this time, TUC Plan adoption is now anticipated in the spring of 2007. There is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until the plan for the area is adopted. The proposed Ordinance is the same as that currently adopted. Discussion The Current Ordinance: • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to land divisions and such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto - oriented businesses. • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to the expansion of existing businesses on existing lots, sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements, and the extension of a current land use permit. • More uses are permitted in the TOD area than affected by the moratorium. The moratorium does not affect the filing of approvals related to all other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206- 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 z z ce w 2 0 0 U 0 W = J H w 0 � CO ▪ d w I- 0 Z I— w U • D O - (12 O H wW I — U - w z U w = O ~ Staff has not received any requests to modify the ordinance since the last renewal in June, 2006. Should a specific project be proposed that falls outside the uses permitted under the moratorium, Staff will consider the appropriateness of the project and bring it forward to the Council for deliberation. Proposed Next Steps 1. The CAP Committee recommends adopting the proposed ordinance, and forwards it on to the COW for a public hearing at their November 13, 2006 meeting. 2. Council holds a public hearing on the moratorium at their COW meeting on November 13, 2006. 3. At the next regular meeting on November 20, 2006, Council has the following options: a. Renew the moratorium by adopting the proposed ordinance. The moratorium remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. b. Modify the proposed ordinance. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and either renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. c. Take no action. When Ordinance No. 2123 expires on December 2, 2006, land divisions, development activities and land uses will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of the TUC vision and other transportation improvements may be more difficult. P: \LYNNM\Longacres TOD \moratorium \November 2006 \CAP 10.31.06.doc 10/09/2006 _,.

In June 2006, HWA gave notice that the firm was dissolving. At that point, HWA had partially completed the contracted services, delivering preliminary draft sections of the EIS for staff review. To complete the remaining tasks in the original scope of work, staff is authorizing a new contract with Richard Weinman, the original project manager with HWA. The TOD /TUC grant will be used to fund the work. A draft SEIS and related products are anticipated early next year. ';Feai:X: �� ✓.;�siNFtfiar'.�,%;h 7almrnwaa; Steven M.

In the short term, City staff is recommending that a moratorium on certain land use actions remain in place for the next six months. I believe you have discussed this with Senior Planner Lynn Miranda. The City Council held a public hearing concerning this proposal on May 8, and is scheduled to consider extending the moratorium at its May 15, 2006 meeting. Our records shoe that a notice of the public hearing was mailed to "Whitney Brothers" at 4606 131St Street NW, Gig Harbor, WA 98332. In the longer term, staff will be proposing a new subarea plan and new development regulations for an area including your property. As part of this proposal we expect to recommend that a mixture of residential and commercial uses be allowed in the area lying south of I -405 and between West Valley Highway and the Burlington Northern railroad tracks. A number of conceptual drawings have been prepared as part of our subarea plan public involvement process to illustrate how the area may develop in the future. In preparing this letter I have reviewed a number of these drawings and have not located any that show residential development occurring at 15700 Nelson Road South. Some of these drawings show a potential for "office /live- work" development in this area. To my knowledge there has been no discussion concerning the possible condemnation of your property for residential or any other purpose. I would be happy to meet with you to discuss our progress toward developing a subarea plan for your area, and to show you the drawings developed and used in our public involvement program. If you would like to meet or discuss this matter over the telephone, please contact me at 206/431- 3670.

Has the City discussed the possible condemnation of our property for such a pur- pose? And do you have drawings based upon such a hypothetical condemnation? And do such drawings show, conceptually, residences where businesses now ex- ist? In other words, are such plans in the air at city hall?

Filmed with "out of sequence" to �SS�'16(, TO: From: Date: Subject: Public hearing on an ordinance renewing a temporary moratorium on land divisions and certain land use decisions in the Longacres TOD planning area. Background In September 2002, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a six -month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the transit- oriented development (TOD) planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail /Amtrak station (see Figure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at the station are in place. Ordinance 2107, renewing the moratorium, was adopted in November 2005 and expires June 5, 2006. Council must decide whether to renew the ordinance and hold a public hearing, or let the moratorium lapse. To date, Council has renewed the moratorium seven times, modifying it to provide more flexibility in use of the parcels while the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) plan was being developed. When Ordinance 2107 was adopted, it was anticipated that the TUC Plan would be adopted by the end of 2005, precluding any further need to renew the moratorium. However, other projects, such as the design of the permanent commuter rail station, the Tukwila South Master Plan, and the Westfield Southcenter Mall expansion, have taken priority over the review and adoption of the TUC Plan. At this time, TUC Plan adoption is now anticipated in the third quarter of 2006. There is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until the plan for the area is adopted. On April 25, 2006, CAP authorized staff to forward the proposed ordinance to Council for a public hearing at their COW meeting on May 8, 2006. Notice for the public hearing on the moratorium was provided. In addition, individual letters were sent to affected property owners and businesses notifying them of the scheduled hearing. The proposed Ordinance is the same as that currently adopted. Attached is a copy of the proposed ordinance. Discussion The current ordinance: • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to land divisions and such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto - oriented businesses. • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to the expansion of existing businesses on existing lots, sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements, and the extension of a current land use permit.

The moratorium does not affect the filing of approvals related to all other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. The current ordinance also allows the City to preserve the land necessary for relocating the 100 foot - wide Union Pacific Railroad right -of -way to the area immediately adjacent to the western border of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad right -of -way. Staff has not received any requests to modify the ordinance since the last renewal in November 2006. Proposed Next Steps 1. Council holds a public hearing on the moratorium at their COW meeting on May 8, 2006. 2. At the next regular meeting on May 15, 2005, Council has the following options: a) Adopt the proposed ordinance. Council renews the Ordinance and its provisions remain the same as the current Ordinance No. 2107. The moratorium remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and renew, modify, or allow it to lapse. b) Modify the proposed ordinance. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and either renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. c) Take no action. When Ordinance No. 2107 expires on June 5, 2006, land divisions, development activities and land uses will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of the TUC vision and other transportation improvements may be more difficult. Conclusions • To date, Staff has not been made aware of any negative effects from the moratorium on plans to develop or redevelop properties in the TOD, most likely due to the limited scope of the moratorium. Should a specific project be proposed that falls outside the uses permitted under the moratorium, Staff will consider the appropriateness of the project and bring it forward to the Council for deliberation. • Planning Commission and City Council worksessions and public hearings on the draft Tukwila Urban Center Plan will begin second quarter of 2006. Plan adoption is anticipated in the third quarter of 2006. However, there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until that time. Recommendations Place the adoption of the proposed ordinance on the consent agenda at the Council's next regular meeting on May 15, 2006. Set the effective date of the ordinance on June 5, 2006, when the current ordinance expires.

Foster Golf Links Irrigation System. Bruce Fletcher explained that the Foster Golf Links irrigation system filters for the pump system that runs all of the irrigation system o o for the golf course is in critical need of being replaced. The 2006 CIP budget for this c w project is $35,000. Six qualified contractors from the Small Works Roster were asked to 9 bid on the project. Only one contractor submitted a bid on the project. The base bid of u_ $34,610 is below budget; however, when WSST is added in the amount of $3,045 it will w o bring the total project to $37,655.68. The balance of the project costs ($2,655.68) plus a g 5 5% contingency fund ($1,882.78) will be taken from the golf maintenance operating budget. Due to the potential damage that could occur if the pump system breaks down = a before the filters can be replaced, Bruce asked if the bid award could be forwarded to the Z Regular Meeting on Monday, May 1, 2006. The Committee recommended awarding the j p contract to Golf Pumping Services, LLC and that the BID AWARD be placed on the w F- consent agenda on the May 1, 2006 Regular Meeting. ? o 2. Commercial Development Solutions Contract Extension. Steve Lancaster explained o that Lisa Verner's current contract for Project Management Services to the Tukwila ❑ ( - Valley South Project expires at the end of April. Since he anticipates the city needing = v Lisa's services for several more months, he is proposing a contract amendment to extend 0 L I the current contract through December 31, 2006. The proposed additional compensation - z for this extension would be "not to exceed" $60,000.00 bringing the total contract to v 92 $254,000. Councilmember Hernandez inquired as to whether the scope of services to be performed in Contract Amendment #3 would still apply. Mr. Lancaster informed the z committee that Lisa's priority will be to work on the Tukwila Valley South Project and work on long -range planning and emergency preparedness would only take place if there wasn't sufficient work required on the Tukwila Valley South Project. The Committee recommended approval to extend the Commercial Development Solutions Contract and forwarding it to the May 8, 2006 COW. 3. TOD Moratorium Renewal. Steve Lancaster explained that the current moratorium on certain land divisions and development activities in the TOD planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail Station will expire on June 5, 2006. To date, Council has renewed the moratorium seven times, modifying it to provide more flexibility in what temporary uses are allowed while the TUC plan is being developed. He anticipates a TOD plan being presented to the council for adoption by the end of the year. In the meantime, there is still a need to keep the moratorium in place. The proposed Ordinance is the same as currently in effect, including a provision added at its last renewal that prohibits any permitted or conditional uses on properties located within 100' of the BBSF Railroad right -of -way between I -405 and Longacres Way, unless the property is to be developed under an approved developer agreement with the City. After some discussion, the committee recommended approval of the proposed Ordinance extending the moratorium and forwarding it to the May 8 COW for a Public Hearing. Community Affairs and Parks Committee April 25, 2006 4. Foster High School Sign Proposal. Scott Erdahl, Athletic Director for the Tukwila School District, presented the school district's proposal to replace the existing reader board in front of Foster High School with an electronic message center sign that would likely have display capabilities that exceed the allowances of the Tukwila sign code. A new electronic reader board would allow the District to display multiple messages about school and community activities. The District is receptive to limiting operating times of the LED board to certain hours of the day and limiting animation and flashing background displays. Mr. Lancaster confirmed that the TMC 19.28.010(3) sign code prohibits "animated signs" and the proposed Foster High School sign would be considered an "animated sign" if operated in a manner that causes the electronic message to flash, blink, scroll or otherwise portray movement, or if any message other than time /date /temperature changes more than once every 24 hours. However, if the committee is interested in considering the School District's request, staff recommends the issue be referred to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation. The Committee members discussed various concerns about the sign impacting adjacent residences, vehicle and pedestrian traffic, and what kind of a precedent it would set for other schools and businesses who may want to be allowed to have electronic signs. Mr. Lancaster presented several alternatives for the committee to consider. One of the options could be to recommend an exemption for community event announcements. This exemption could be applied to all signs or could be limited to specific land uses such as public schools and public recreation facilities. Other options could include modifying the definition of an "animated sign" or exempting electronic message centers, but continue to prohibit flashing, streaming, video quality display signs. After considerable discussion of the various options, the majority of the committee members recommended the issue be forwarded to the Planning Commission for their review and recommendation. The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing and forward their recommendation to the City Council. Jmh Committee Chair Approval Minutes Prepared by: Joan Hernandez 4A�5 1 u4 -JA-r MVO City of Tukwila Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director TO: Community Affairs and Parks Committee Members From: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director Date: April 19, 2006 Cr' Subject: Renewing the current on certain land divisions and development activities within the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) planning area Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Issue Ordinance 2107, establishing a six -month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the transit - oriented development (TOD) planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail /Amtrak station, will expire on June.5,.2006. Council must decide whether to renew the ordinance and hold a public hearing, or let the moratorium lapse. Background In September 2002, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a six -month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the TOD planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail /Amtrak station (see Figure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at the station are in place. In November 2005, Ordinance 2107 was adopted, renewing the moratorium. This Ordinance expires June 5, 2006. Council must:decide whether:toirenew.the ordinance and hold a public`hearing 'or let the; moratorium lapse. TQ date, Council has renewed the moratorium seven times, modifying it to provide more flexibility in use of the parcels while the TUC plan was being developed. At this time, TUC Plan adoption is now anticipated in'the fourth quarter of 2006. where is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until the plan for the area is adopted. The proposed Ordinance is the same as that currently adopted. Discussion The Current Ordinance: • • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to land divisionand such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial '& auto- oriented bus inessesy • Exempts\.the filing of and approvals related to the expansion of existing businesses on existing lots, sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements, and the extension • of current land use permit: • More uses are permuted in the TOD area than affected by the moratorium. The moratorium does not affect the filing of approvals related to all other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking.

The proposed Ordinance is the same as that currently adopted, including a modification that allows the City to preserve the land necessary for relocating the 100 foot-wide Union Pacific Railroad right - of -way to the area immediately adjacent to the western border of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad right -of -way. This modification provides additional restrictions to those already imposed by the moratorium, prohibiting any development activities on properties within this corridor, unless the property is to be developed under an approved developer agreement with the City. Staff has not received any requests to modify the ordinance since the last renewal in November 2005. Proposed Next Steps }- 8 1. Council holds a public hearirig.:ori t mora'io'riurn at their COW'meeting on May,, 2006. 2. At the next regular meeting'o May,; 2006, _Council has the following a. Renew the moratorium }� b adopting the proposed ordinance. The moratorium remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. b. Modify the proposed ordinance. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and either renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. c. Jake no action. When Ordinance No. 2107 expires on June 5, 2006, land divisions, development activities and land uses will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of the TUC vision and other transportation improvements may be more difficult. Conclusions • To date, Staff has not been made aware of any negative effects from the moratorium on plans to develop or redevelop properties in the TOD, most likely due to the limited scope of the moratorium. Should a specific project be proposed that falls outside the uses permitted under the moratorium, Staff will consider the appropriateness of the project and bring it forward to the Council for deliberation. • Planning Commission and City Council worksessions and public hearings on the draft Tukwila Urban Center Plan will begin this summer. Plan adoption is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2006. However, there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until that time. Recommendations The CAP Committee recommends adopting the proposed ordinance, and forwards it on to the COW for a public hearing at their May X 2006 meeting.

Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director City Council Jack Pace, DCD Deputy Director November 21, 2005 Public hearing on an ordinance renewing a temporary moratorium on land divisions and certain land use decisions in the Longacres TOD planning area. Background In September 2002, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a six -month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the transit - oriented development (TOD) planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail /Amtrak station (see Figure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at the station are in place. Ordinance 2095, renewing the moratorium, was adopted in July 2005 and expires January 13, 2006. Council must decide whether to renew the ordinance and hold a public hearing, or let the moratorium lapse. We are bringing this to Council now because of the uncertainties regarding their schedule in early January, 2006. To date, Council has renewed the moratorium six times, modifying it to provide more flexibility in use of the parcels while the TUC plan was being developed. When Ordinance 2095 was adopted, it was anticipated that the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) Plan would be adopted by the end of 2005, precluding any further need to renew the moratorium. However, other projects, such as the Tukwila South Master Plan and the Westfield Southcenter Mall expansion, have taken priority over the review and adoption of the TUC Plan. At this time, TUC Plan adoption is now anticipated in the third quarter of 2006. There is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until the plan for the area is adopted. The proposed Ordinance is the same as that currently adopted, except for a modification that allows the City to preserve the land necessary for relocating the 100 foot -wide Union Pacific Railroad right -of -way to the area immediately adjacent to the western border of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad right -of -way. On November 15, 2005, CAP authorized staff to forward the proposed ordinance to Council for a public hearing at their COW meeting on November 28, 2005. Notice for the public hearing on the moratorium was provided. In addition, individual letters were sent to affected property owners and businesses notifying them of the scheduled hearing. Attached is a copy of the proposed ordinance. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 Discussion The current ordinance: • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to land divisions and such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto- oriented businesses. • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to the expansion of existing businesses on existing lots, sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements, and the extension of a cun•ent land use permit. • More uses are permitted in the TOD area than affected by the moratorium. The moratorium does not affect the filing of approvals related to all other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. The proposed Ordinance is the same as that currently adopted, except for a modification that allows the City to preserve the land necessary for relocating the 100 foot -wide Union Pacific Railroad right -of -way to the area immediately adjacent to the western border of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad right -of -way. This modification provides additional restrictions to those already imposed by the moratorium, prohibiting any development activities on properties within this corridor, unless the property is to be developed under an approved developer agreement with the City. Staff has not received any requests to modify the ordinance since the last renewal in July 2005. Proposed Next Steps 1. Council holds a public hearing on the moratorium at their COW meeting on November 28, 2005. 2. At the next regular meeting on December 5, 2005, Council has the following options: a) Adopt the proposed ordinance. Council renews the Ordinance, with the proposed modification. Otherwise, its provisions remain the same as the current Ordinance No. 2095. The moratorium remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and renew, modify, or allow it to lapse. b) Modify the proposed ordinance. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and either renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. c) Take no action. When Ordinance No. 2095 expires on January 13, 2006, land divisions, development activities and land uses will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of the TUC vision and other transportation improvements may be more difficult. Conclusions • To date, Staff has not been made aware of any negative effects from the moratorium on plans to develop or redevelop properties in the TOD, most likely due to the limited scope of the moratorium. Should a specific project be proposed that falls outside the uses permitted under the moratorium, Staff will consider the appropriateness of the project and bring it forward to the Council for deliberation. • Planning Commission and City Council worksessions and public hearings on the draft Tukwila Urban Center Plan will begin first quarter of 2006. Plan adoption is anticipated in the third quarter of 2006. However, there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until that time. Recommendations The CAP recommends adopting the proposed ordinance, with the modification prohibiting development within 100 feet of the western edge of the BNSF right -of -way between I -405 and Longacres Way, at the Council's next meeting on December 5, 2005.

Cantu, CMC, City Clerk City of Tukwila Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director TO: Tukwila City Councilmembers From: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director Date: July 13, 2005 Subject: Adoption of proposed ordinance renewing a temporary moratorium on land divisions and certain land use decisions in the Longacres TOD planning area. Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Background In September 2002, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a six -month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the transit - oriented development (TOD) planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail/Amtrak station (see Figure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at the station are in place. In April 2005, Ordinance 2085 was adopted, adding an exemption to the moratorium for residential mixed -use transit- oriented development (TOD) projects within one - quarter mile of the Sounder Commuter Rail/Amtrak Station property. Ordinance No. 2081 expires July 19, 2005. Council must decide whether to renew or revise the ordinance, or let the moratorium lapse. To date, Council has renewed the moratorium five times, modifying it to provide more flexibility in use of the parcels while the TUC plan was being developed. However, there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a plan for the area is adopted. Renewal of the moratorium should contain the exemptions detailed in Ordinance 2085, as described above. On June 28, 2005, CAP authorized staff to forward the proposed ordinance to Council for a public hearing at their COW meeting on July 11, 2005. There were no public comments given at the hearing, and no written comments were received. Attached is a copy of the proposed ordinance. Discussion The current ordinance: • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to land divisions and such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto - oriented businesses. • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to the expansion of existing businesses on existing lots, sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements, and the extension of a current land use permit. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 z a• = z Ce 6 1.1 6 0 0 0 J F- w O Q . = • a w z F- 0 Z F- 0 O • N O E-- W 0 . .. z U = O ~ . z • More uses are permitted in the TOD area than affected by the moratorium.

Proposed Next Steps At the next regular meeting on July 18, 2005, Council has the following options: a) Adopt the proposed ordinance. Council renews the Ordinance, with the exemption for residential mixed use TOD projects as set forth in Ordinance 2085. Otherwise, its provisions remain the same as the current Ordinance No. 2081. The moratorium remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and renew, modify, or allow it to lapse. b) Modify the proposed ordinance. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and either renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. c) Take no action. When Ordinance No. 2081 expires on July 19, 2005, land divisions, development activities and land uses will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of the TUC vision and other transportation improvements may be more difficult. Conclusions • There were no public comments given at the July 11, 2005 hearing, and no written comments were received. • Staff has not been made aware of any negative effects from the moratorium on plans to develop or redevelop properties in the TOD, most likely due to the limited scope of the moratorium. Should a specific project be proposed that falls outside the uses permitted under the moratorium, Staff will consider the appropriateness of the project and bring it forward to the Council for deliberation. • Planning Commission and City Council worksessions and public hearings on the draft Tukwila Urban Center Plan will begin this September. Plan adoption is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2005. However, there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until that time. Recommendations There is still a need for keeping the ordinance in place until a land use /transportation framework is adopted. Adopt the proposed ordinance, with the exemption for residential mixed use TOD projects as set forth in Ordinance 2085, at the Council's next meeting on July 18, 2005. z _� z � w 6 U U cn to CO u_ LL? = W z1.- zI- O co O — o I W U1 O . .z w c 0 z City of Tukwila Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director TO: City Council �/ (/J1 From: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director Date: June 30, 2005 Subject: Public hearing on an ordinance renewing a temporary moratorium on land divisions and certain land use decisions in the Longacres TOD planning area.

The original term of the contract was one year, with an amount "not to exceed" $94,000. We anticipate needing Lisa's services for several more months, and are proposing a contract amendment. The proposed amendment would extend the current contract through November 30, 2005. The proposed additional compensation for this extension would be "not to exceed" $40,000, bringing the total for the contract up to $134,000. This contract is being charged against the DCD Administration Professional Services line item (000.08.558.100.41.00). The proposed amendment will commit approximately $20,000 more than is remaining in this budget line item. We expect to be able to absorb this expenditure without exceeding the overall department budget through reduced expenditures in other line items.

The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at the station are in place. In Aprit 2005, Ordinance 2085 was adopted, adding an exemption to the moratorium for residential mixed -use transit - oriented development projects within one - quarter mile of the Sounder Commuter Rail /Amtrak Station property. Ordinance No. 2081 expires July 19, 2005. Council must decide whether to renew the ordinance and hold a public hearing, or let the moratorium lapse. To date, Council has renewed the moratorium five times, modifying it to provide more flexibility in use of the parcels while the TUC plan was being developed. However, there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a plan for the area is adopted. Renewal of the moratorium should contain the exemptions detailed in Ordinance 2085, as described above. Discussion The Current Ordinance: • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to land, divisions and such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto- oriented businesses. • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to the expansion of existing businesses on existing lots, sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements, and the extension of a current land use permit. • More uses are permitted in the TOD area than affected by the moratorium. The moratorium does not affect the filing of approvals related to all other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. Phone: (206) 433 -1800 • City Hall Fax: (206) 433 -1833 F, Renewal of the moratorium will not affect the proposed zoning code amendment allowing mixed use multifamily developments as a conditional use on properties adjacent to the Sounder commuter rail/Amtrak station. Options 1. Council renews the Ordinance, adding the exemption for mixed use TOD projects as set forth in Ordinance 2085. Otherwise, its provisions remain the same as the current Ordinance No. 2081. The moratorium remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. 2. Council modifies the Ordinance. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and either renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. 3. Council allows the Ordinance to lapse. Land divisions, development activities and land uses will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of the TUC vision and other transportation improvements may be more difficult. Staff Recommendations In summary: • To date, Staff has not been made aware of any negative effects from the moratorium on plans to develop or redevelop properties in the TOD, most likely due to the limited scope of the moratorium. Should a specific project be proposed that falls outside the uses permitted under the moratorium, Staff will consider the appropriateness of the project and bring it forward to the Council for deliberation. • Planning Commission and City Council worksessions and public hearings on the draft Tukwila Urban Center Plan will begin this September. Plan adoption is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2005. However, there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until that time. Next Steps: 1. Renew the Ordinance, adding the exemption for mixed use TOD projects as set forth in Ordinance 2085. A copy of the proposed Ordinance is attached for your review. 2. Forward the proposed amendment on to the COW for a public hearing at a special meeting at their July 11, 2005 meeting.

Much work has been completed since that time. This memo provides an update on the following: 1) the status of the plan; 2) timeline for completing, reviewing and adopting the plan; and 3) other planning issues and activities associated with the urban center. Status of the Plan Freedman Tung & Bottomley (FTB) delivered a draft plan for review by City staff. Staff met with FTB on May 10 to discuss revisions, primarily related to the proposed development regulations. Over the summer, FTB will implement those changes and prepare a fully formatted document that will be taken to the Planning Commission and City Council, and made available for interested community members. Timeline for completing, reviewing and adopting the plan The following schedule is anticipated for reviewing the public review draft plan: o September 8, 2005: joint Council/Planning Commission workshop with the consultant team to review the draft plan. o September - December, 2005: public hearing and review phase o December 2005: adoption of plan and implementing ordinances Other Planning activities and issues • Supplemental analyses on the financial aspects of the TUC plan will be prepared this summer by ECONorthwest. • Detailed analysis of the Plan's environmental impacts will be completed this fall, allowing the Plan to be designated a "planned action ".

Staff will bring a recommendation to renew the ordinance to the CAP committee on June 28. July • Urban Land Institute (ULI) charette. ULI is a nationally recognized planning and development research organization. ULI has offered to organize a panel of national and local experts in retail, mixed use, office and financing for an intensive review of the TUC plan. Using their expertise, the panel will evaluate whether the proposed development regulations and standards will help us achieve the community's vision. Staff will use their recommendations to further refine the draft plan. This will be a one -day worksession here in Tukwila. Ongoing • "Reality check" meetings with developers. Planning staff have been meeting with local development experts to present the draft plan's vision, concepts and implementation measures, and ask them: 1) if the vision seems realistic; 2) what are the stumbling blocks to achieving the vision; 3) what actions would the City need to take to "make things happen ". These meetings have been very informative and, in general, confirm the plan's direction and strategies for redevelopment. • Tukwila Commuter Rail /Amtrak Station. Planning staff are working with Sound Transit to prepare a revised site plan concept for the station which supports the vision for the TUC and includes relocating the Union Pacific Railroad right -of -way to co -align with the BNSF right -of -way. Next Steps June 28, 2005.

Mullet, Mayor CITY OF TUKWILA INTER - OFFICE MEMO FROM: Steve Lancaster SUBJECT: Regional Transit Long Range Plan Sound Transit is updating its 1996 Long -Range Plan for high capacity transit. After the Plan is updated, the Sound Transit Board is expected to select a new set of regional transit improvements ( "Sound Transit 2 ") and seek funding for these improvements. We have asked Sound Transit staff to brief the City Council on the status of its Plan Update, and to discuss how projects will be selected for Sound Transit 2. With implementation of Sound Move under way, Sound Transit is planning for its next phase of regional transit investments. They have recently issued a Draft Supplemental EIS updating the earlier "plan level" environmental analysis done in 1993. This will provide information to help the agency in updating its 1996 Long -Range Plan. After the Long -Range Plan is updated, the Sound Transit Board may select a new set of transit improvements for which funding will be sought. Funding for "Sound Transit 2" would likely require voter approval, after which detailed environmental review will be conducted. Sound Transit's decisions about future transit improvements will be based upon the Supplemental EIS currently under review. It is therefore important that the SEIS and the updated Page 1 of 2 Phone: 206 - 433 -1800 • City Hall Fax 206 - 433 -1833 • www.ci.tukwila.wa.us Long Range Plan include projects Tukwila may wish to be considered.

Mullet, Mayor TO: Tukwila City Council Members From: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director Date: January 11, 2005 Subject: Contract for Consultant Services related to the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement and Planned Action for the Tukwila Urban Center Plan As you will recall, a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) is required for the TUC Plan to analyze impacts and ensure that these impacts will be addressed as development occurs. At our last COW meeting, the contract for the SEIS consultant was discussed. Concerns were raised about the adequacy of TUC utilities and how utilities were being addressed in the TUC Plan and the TUC SEIS. This memo will briefly describe how infrastructure for the water, sewer and storm utilities will be addressed in the SEIS. Current Infrastructure Plans and Impact Mitigation Mechanisms Comprehensive plans for these utilities are now in final review by state agencies and will come before the City Council for review and approval sometime this spring. Both comprehensive utility plans are based on the development anticipated throughout the City, including that described in the TUC Plan. The plans describe known and anticipated deficiencies for the Tukwila water system, again including those located in the TUC. The plans then list, prioritize and attach costs to infrastructure projects that will address these deficiencies. The water and sewer utility rate structures provide funding for upgrades and maintenance to existing facilities. The City's concurrency ordinance requires developers to pay for service to new projects, including construction and dedication of any major facilities (lift stations, etc.) needed due to a given project Sufficient water supply and sewer treatment capacity exist to serve all development anticipated by the TUC plan. Storm Drainage The City Comprehensive Surface Water Plan was updated in 2004. This plan describes current deficiencies for the Tukwila stormwater system. The plan then describes, prioritizes and attaches costs to projects addressing these deficiencies. The surface water utility rate structure provides for upgrades and maintenance to existing public facilities. The City does not have a concurrency ordinance for stormwater facilities. This is because developers are required to ensure that no Phone: 206 - 433 -1800 • City Hall Fax: 206 - 433 -1833 • www.ci.tukwila.wa.us z z• w a: 2 0 CO ❑ CO W J U) u. w I t- z � zi- W O - ❑ F — ; W W I — u. F' till z ` ▪ = . z impacts to water quality or the peak discharge rate occur. The City's stormwater ordinance then requires developers to design and construct on -site stormwater improvements to perform to City standards, including on -site water - quality treatment. Theoretically, under this system, no further downstream capacity or treatment is needed. The exception is when there is no City system to discharge to. In this case, the developer would be required to construct a conveyance system to get the stonnwater to either the City system or directly to the river. The developer would also be required to mitigate any ancillary impacts of the conveyance project as a condition of development. Adequacy In general, utilities are adequate within the TUC. The primary exceptions to this are: 1) The mostly - undeveloped TOD area between the Sounder commuter rail station and West Valley Highway. Current development in this area is spotty, as is the utility infrastructure supporting it. Deficiencies in this area for all utilities are described and the costs are assigned in the relevant utility plan. 2) The area east of the Mall near Andover Park West. A sewage line and the sewage lift station in this area are reaching capacity. These projects are slated for construction in 2008 and 2010 respectively in the Tukwila CIP. 3) A storm drainage deficiency in the vicinity of Andover Park East and Minkler. This is slated for upgrade in 2007 in the Tukwila CIP. SEIS Approach to TUC Utilities For each utility, the SEIS will summarize TUC deficiencies outlined in each of the utility comprehensive plans and describe 1) how current city plans and ordinances will address current deficiencies, 2) how current city plans and ordinances will address additional future infrastructure needed due to development anticipated within the TUC Plan ^—' = . °•Jcctie'a ' ,waa Cizy of Tukwila Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director TO: Tukwila City Councilmembers From: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director Date: January 1 1 , 2005 Subject: Adoption of proposed ordinance renewing a temporary moratorium on land divisions and certain land use decisions in the Longacres TOD planning area. Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Background In September 2002, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a six -month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the transit - oriented development (TOD) planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail /Amtrak station (see Figure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at the station are in place. Ordinance No. 2054 will expire January 24, 2005. Council must decide whether to renew the ordinance, revise it, or let the moratorium lapse. Planning for the TOD area is progressing, however there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a master plan for the area is in place. On December 14, 2004, CAP authorized staff to forward the proposed ordinance to Council for a public hearing. Council held a public hearing on January 10, 2005. There were no public comments given at the hearing, and no written comments were received. Attached is a copy of the proposed ordinance. Discussion The current ordinance: • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to land divisions and such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto - oriented businesses. • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to the expansion of existing businesses on existing lots, sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements, and the extension of a current land use permit. • More uses are permitted in the TOD area than affected by the moratorium. The moratorium does not affect the filing of approvals related to all other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206- 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 a Renewal of the moratorium will not affect the proposed zoning code amendment allowing mixed use multifamily developments as a conditional use on properties adjacent to the Sounder commuter rail /Amtrak station.

December 29, 2004 Dear Sir or Madam: Ciy of Tukwila Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The Tukwila City Council is considering renewing Ordinance No. 2054 establishing a temporary moratorium on certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for Transit - Oriented Development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail /Amtrak station at Longacres (see Figure 1). No changes to the ordinance are proposed. According to City records, your property or business may be affected by this moratorium. Consequently, we wanted to notify you of the public hearing on this ordinance scheduled for Monday, January 10, 2005, at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, located in Tukwila City Hall, 6200 Southcenter Blvd. The moratorium is intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD are in place. Within the TOD area, the current ordinance: • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to: • land divisions • such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto - oriented businesses. • Allows the filing of and approvals related to: - The expansion of existing businesses on existing lots. - Sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements. • Allows the filing of approvals related to: - All other uses currently allowed under TUC (Tukwila Urban Center) zoning which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. The current Ordinance, No. 2054, expires January 24, 2005. Council must hold a public hearing and decide whether to renew the ordinance or let the moratorium lapse.

The moratorium prohibits manufacturing, industrial, and auto - related businesses, but many uses are allowed that will not prevent easy redevelopment in future years. Steve L said the moratorium will not affect the proposed new housing development in the area. Noting there have been several extensions of this moratorium, he said the plan is progressing toward completion, and though this may not be the last extension, it should be finished in 2005. The plan will be ready for initial Council review in January. There will be a public hearing January 10, and adoption a week later. Recommend Public Hearing and renewing the moratorium to a COW January 10. Contract with Huckell Weinman Associates for EIS for TUC The City has been very successful in doing a Planned Action environmental review of the manufacturing area so that developers generally don't need to do EIS work for their projects. DCD is planning to do the same in the TUC. The plan would look at the environment impacts possible in the area, and then specify what projects could go forward where. The end product will be a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS). Dave asked about the consultant. Steve said they had done the Westfield EIS. Recommend contract to COW. Connectivity The Committee talked about how the City might be able to connect at least the CBD and eventually the neighborhoods with gigabit ethernet. They discussed what a benefit to certain businesses this would be, and Dave said it would be beneficial to some apartments as well. How much it would cost businesses to buy in was one issue. Though Tukwila has a substantial amount of capacity for fiber in the TUC, some of the larger companies want to own their- own - pipes-- as- w-ell-as- -fber. -The signal - interconnect- projects- on--the- east -side - ofthe -city- also--- - - - - -- have helped to put capacity in the ground. Dave said he had originally thought it would be good to do a joint project with our neighboring cities, but he is re- thinking that might not be good, as Tukwila is far ahead of our neighbors in putting pipe in the ground. Joe asked how connectivity would affect the many poor people who live in Tukwila. One thing many lower income people do have is cable TV, and they may want to use connectivity for that as long as they have to pay a bill for cable. Pam asked Derek if he could prepare an information paper in January on how having Ethernet would affect the CBD in its quest for attracting new businesses. She said she would bring this up with the Mayor to clarify and get approval for her request. Information. City of Tukwila Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director TO: Community Affairs and Parks Committee Members From: Steve Lancaster, Director Date: December 14, 2004 Subject: Renewing the current moratorium on certain land divisions and development activities within the transit oriented development (TOD) planning area Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Background In September 2002, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a six -month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the transit - oriented development (TOD) planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail /Amtrak station (see Figure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at the station are in place. Ordinance No. 2054 expires January 24, 2005. Council must decide whether to hold a public hearing and renew the ordinance or let the moratorium lapse. To date, Council has renewed the moratorium four times, modifying it to provide more flexibility in use of the parcels while the TUC plan was being developed. However, there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a plan for the area is adopted. Discussion The Current Ordinance: • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to land divisions and such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto - oriented businesses. • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to the expansion of existing businesses on existing lots, sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements, and the extension of a current land use permit. • More uses are permitted in the TOD area than affected by the moratorium. The moratorium does not affect the filing of approvals related to all other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. Renewal of the moratorium will not affect the proposed zoning code amendment allowing mixed use multifamily developments as a conditional use on properties adjacent to the Sounder commuter rail /Amtrak station.

Project Completion and Acceptance - Tukwila Pool A high performance coating of paint was applied at the Tukwila Pool, and it should extend the life of the painting job longer than normal paint. The job has been finished since early October, and the contractor Long Painting is ready to receive his retainage payment. Recommend project acceptance and release of retainage to consent agenda of a Regular Meeting. 2. Third Quarter Reports The Committee members had not questions about the reports, though if they find any later, they will refer questions to the department. Review completed. 3. Renewing Moratorium on TOD Planning Area Jack and Lynn explained that the current moratorium expires January 13, 2006. Staff is recommending moving forward now with renewing the moratorium because of the uncertainties regarding City Council's meeting schedule in early January. Council and the City Attorney will consider the date upon which the renewed ordinance becomes effective. It was anticipated that the Tukwila Urban Center Plan would be completed by now. However, other projects such as the TVS contract have taken priority over the review and adoption of the Plan. One modification to the current moratorium is that the ordinance would reserve a 100' corridor of land adjacent to the BNSF right -of -way necessary for relocating the Union Pacific right -of -way. The corridor would be preserved by prohibiting any development in this area, unless the property is developed under an approved developer agreement with the City.

Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Background In September 2002, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a six -month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the transit - oriented development (TOD) planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail /Amtrak station (see Figure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at the station are in place. Ordinance No. 2037 will expire August 1, 2004. Council must decide whether to hold a public hearing and renew the ordinance or let the moratorium lapse. Planning for the TOD area is progressing, however there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a master plan for the area is in place. On June 29, CAP authorized staff to forward the proposed ordinance to Council for a public hearing at their COW meeting on July 12, 2004. Notice for the public hearing on the moratorium was provided. In addition, individual letters were sent to affected property owners and businesses notifying them of the scheduled hearing. Attached is a copy of the proposed ordinance. To date, Council has renewed the moratorium three times, modifying it to provide more flexibility in use of the parcels while the TUC plan was being developed. Since the last renewal in February 2004, staff received one property owner request for modifications. Staff recommendations regarding the proposed modifications are addressed below. Provisions of the Current Ordinance Within the TOD planning area, the current ordinance prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to land divisions and such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto - oriented businesses. The moratorium exempts the filing of and approvals related to the expansion of existing businesses on existing lots, sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements, and the extension of a current land use permit. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 -431 -3670 • Fax: 206- 431 -3665 It is important to note that even with the moratorium in place, there are more uses permitted in the TOD area than uses affected by the moratorium. The moratorium does not affect the filing of approvals related to all other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. Z ; =z Update on the TOD Plan c4 2 • Public and stakeholder involvement (through several workshops) has been completed. 6 v • A draft plan for the TUC that incorporates the TOD area should be available this fall. U o • A third joint City Council /Planning Commission worksession to review the completed draft w = plan will be held late this fall. -' 0 Staff Recommendations 2 Staff received a request to amend the moratorium to allow the following three uses (see attached g letter). CO �, • Allow automobile, recreational vehicles or travel trailer sales rooms. I w • Allow recreation facilities (commercial- indoor) including bowling alleys, skating rinks and ? '— shooting ranges. w o • Allow multi - family housing, including senior citizen housing. Staff's recommendation is to not amend the moratorium at this time. As stated earlier, there are o more uses permitted in the TOD area than uses affected by the moratorium. Should a specific w w project be proposed that falls outside the uses permitted under the moratorium, staff will consider the H appropriateness of the project and bring it forward to the Council for deliberation "—' z co Proposed Next Steps 1. Council holds a public hearing on the moratorium at their COW meeting on July 12, 2004. z 2. At the next regular meeting on July 19, 2004, Council has the following options: a) Adopt the proposed ordinance. Its provisions remain the same as the current Ordinance No. 2037, without modifications. The moratorium remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and renew or modify the ordinance, or allow it to lapse. b) Modify the proposed ordinance. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and either renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. c) Take no action. When Ordinance No. 2037 expires on August 1, 2004, land divisions, development activities and land uses will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of the TUC vision and other transportation improvements may be more difficult. Recommended Next Steps There is still a need for keeping the existing ordinance in place until a land use /transportation framework is adopted. Staff recommends renewing the ordinance without modifications. Attached is a copy of the ordinance.

Interlocal re CDBG and Home Investment Programs The City receives CDBG and HOME housing investment program funds through King County, which uses a Joint Recommendations Committee (JRC) to advise the County on allocations. The JRC duties and composition are spelled out in the interlocal the cities and county sign for the distribution of funds. Representation on the JRC is being changed to allow more suburban representation. Taking one County representative off and adding 2 members each from south and north/east suburban King County is the change being addressed. The Committee supported the amendment to the interlocal. Recommend interlocal amendment to Council. 2. Dollar Rent - - Car Signs Dollar Rent -A -Car is located on S. 160` /TIB at the boundary of Sea Tac and Tukwila. Sea Tac is now improving TIB at this location, and in the construction process one of Dollar's signs was damaged beyond repair. Tukwila's sign code requires nonconforming signs (which these are) to be made conforming when the sign is relocated or modified. Two options were presented: either change the boundary to give the business to Sea Tac, which would allow two signs; or pass a waiver to allow the business to have two signs placed just outside the right of way. The Sea Tac staff members were relieved they did not have to condemn the signs, which could have cost the city up to $1 in. Recommend resolution to COW and Regular Meeting. 2a. Junk Cars & Property MaintenanceThe Committee members asked Don and Tom about their code enforcement of the Sea Tac junk car and property maintenance ordinances. The ordinances for junk cars are strictly enforced in the front and side yards visible from the street. A citizen group had worked with city officials to define how much (what percentage) of a yard or front property could be used for parking vehicles. Another law they passed did not allow the freestanding tents (a tent roof on four 7' poles) in front yards unless it has no walls. Both said it was going very well, with no public outcry from citizens over the more strict regulations. When asked if they'd given residents a year to get used to the new codes before they were strictly enforced, Tom said he didn't think it was that long, • though he thought it could have been six months. They said they advertised their new standards for about six months in their city newsletter. Information. 3. Ordinance Renewing TOD Moratorium The Transit Oriented Development (TOD) area off of Interurban has had a moratorium since 2002, when the City decided to have an integrated plan for this area. The planning has proceeded with public input through several stages, but is not quite done yet. The Council did approve an amendment to the original moratorium ordinance, adding uses allowed there. An applicant has asked for a broadening of those uses, but the staff and Committee members agreed that was not appropriate now. The Committee chose to renew the moratorium for six months, hoping work will be done by then to be able to remove it. Recommend resolution extending moratorium to COW and Regular Meeting. 4. Charles River Contract Dan Brand of Charles River has helped the City in its negotiations with Sound Transit over parking issues. Issues have changed since his work first started, and his expertise is still needed to respond to Sound Transit's proposals. This can be done through a contract extension, 5. International Property Maintenance Code The Committee had considered this Code in April, and it went to the Council, where many questions about its implementation and effect were asked. z Further consideration was recommended, and the Committee again reviewed the Code and the impacts 1 it would have on Tukwila citizens. Staff had prepared a memo asking and answering some of the W questions that had come up previously. They went over some of the thorny issues previously 0: D discussed. v v O co o The new code will work with the new International Building Code as well as other new Fire, w Mechanical, and Residential Codes. It covers topics not covered in the 1997 Housing Code, though w u _ some subjects that have raised concern are already in the Housing Code. It can be used to clean up w 0 rental houses, as well as buildings that are not houses The new code could address these issues in apartments as well as in houses. CDBG funds are available for people to address some home j improvements needed for health and safety. = a I--w z The Committee discussed the item about no major car repairs in carports. After discussion about the F.- need to have a place to work on cars, as well as the aesthetics and potential hazard major car repair w o could entail, the Committee decided that a person working on one car even for major work would ? o probably not be cited (unless neighbors reported the car work as a problem). It is the continuous o N working on several cars of friends and families, often with multiple cars on the property at once, that is o 1 — the target of the new Code. = w One of the things Sea Tac did was limit parking at single family homes as a way to address a very O large number of people living in one house. Pam L had estimated that her large house could legally Ili U) hold 14 people, with potentially 14 cars. It is the cars that cause the neighborhood problems. Sea Tac o i_ addressed this by limiting the number of cars a house can park. It is one way to address the issue of z overcrowding in homes. Kathy will devise charts of both small and large homes and how many people can legally reside in them. adding $30,000 to the current contract. The Committee supported this proposition. Recommend contract extension to COW and Regular Meeting. Dave asked about the pool and spa provisions. He has to meet stringent King County Public Health codes, and he is meticulous about keeping his pool in compliance year round. The Ben Carol pool, on the other hand, is a public danger as the muck turns the water thick green and nothing under the surface can be seen all winter. The new code would allow this to be addressed. Dave wanted to be sure the provisions in the IPMC did not conflict with the Public Health rules. The Committee members felt that though everyone might not like all the provisions in it, the new IMPC was worth passing intact. As Steve L said, it is a matter of policy for the Council to decide how they want the City to look. Joe thought that since several cities around us had passed the Code, Tukwila should keep up with them. Recommend International Property Maintenance Code to Council. < Committee chair approval r.

ATTACHMENTS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT REGARDING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) AND HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS (HOME) PROGRAMS In order to receive pass - through federal funds, we have a formalized interlocal agreement with King County. In March, amendments were made to the agreement regarding the make -up of the Joint Recommendations Committee (JRC). This committee serves as the advisory body that reviews the recommended allocations of federal housing and community development funds, in addition to the Regional Affordable Housing Program (document recording fee funds). The only change you need to note in this interlocal agreement is the make -up of the JRC (page 8). The composition decreases King County representation from four to three. Five representatives and their alternates will come from cities with two representatives coming from the south region and two from the north /east region. Many cities participated in these recommendations and feel that they better represent the demographics of the populations considered for these I funds. Because City Councils authorized the original interlocal agreement, any subsequent amendments must also be authorized by Council. This issue is scheduled for the June 22 Community and Parks meeting.

GENERAL AGREEMENT King County and participating jurisdiction agree to cooperate to undertake, or assist in undertaking, activities which further the development of viable urban communities, including the provision of decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income, through community renewal and lower income housing assistance activities, specifically urban renewal and publicly assisted housing, funded from annual CDBG funds from federal Fiscal Years' 2000, 2001, and 2002 appropriations, from recaptured funds allocated in those years, and from any program income generated from the expenditure of such funds. II. GENERAL DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS The distribution within the County of CDBG Funds under Title I of the Act shall be governed by the following provisions, exclusive of the Cities of Auburn, Bellevue, and Seattle. A. The amount needed for administration of the Consortium's CDBG and other federal programs which benefit the Consortium shall be reserved by the County. This amount, hereinafter referred to as the "Administrative Setaside, is contingent upon review by the Joint Recommendations Committee ( "the Committee "), as provided in Section VIII.C.1., and approval by the Metropolitan King County Council, as provided by Section XIII.B. B. In addition to the administrative setaside referred to in Section II.A., each year 25% of the public service funds available , not to exceed $300,000, will be subtracted from the entitlement and reserved for the Housing Stability Program, a public service 2 activity in support of the affordable housing requirements under the implementation of the state Growth Management Act (RCW Chapter 36.70A). This public service setaside will be administered by the County with input from a working group of the participating cities and County staff. This public service setaside will be subject to the same percentage of decrease as the annual public service funds if there are any reductions during the year. C. Of the grant amount remaining after the setasides referred to in Sections II.A. and II.B. ( "the Adjusted Grant Amount "), ally city which is a participant in this Agreement may be eligible to receive a direct pass - through share ( "the pass - through"), provided that: 1. The City's share of the Adjusted Grant Amount equals $50,000 or more based upon the city's percentage of the Consortium's low - and moderate- income persons, as defined by HUD, or the city's share is less than $50,000 but the City received a pass - through in the previous year and wishes to continue receiving a pass - through; 2. The City participates in developing the Consortium's Consolidated H &CD Plan by identifying its non - housing community development needs; ' .i4 3. The City may apply for planning dollars from the County and Small Cities Fund, as defined in Section II.D. below, the year prior to accepting a pass - through, the amount to be at least what the City would have received for planning and administration had they been a pass - through city; 4. In the fall before the first program year it becomes a pass - through city, the City may elect to take the entire pass - through and allocate all their funds, or to take a partial pass - through and allocate only their public services or capital funds, depending on which needs they have identified and on whether the city can meet the Consortium's schedule for allocating the funds and for submitting proposed projects to HUD. If the new pass - through city chooses to allocate only part of their pass - through funds, the Joint Recommendations Committee will allocate the remaining funds to one or more regional projects benefiting residents of the city and surrounding area. In any case, the City will continue to receive its planning allocation; and 5. The participating City agrees to abide by Consortium requirements to receive a pass - through of CDBG funds or their ability to receive a pass - through will be revoked. The responsibilities of these pass - through jurisdictions are defined in Section X. Participating cities may elect not to receive a direct pass - through but may compete for County and Small Cities Funds, as defined in Section II.D., below. 3 L D. The funds remaining in the Adjusted Grant Amount after the distribution of the pass - through funds referred to in Section II.C. shall be referred to as the County and Small Cities Fund, and shall be allocated on a competitive basis to projects serving the cities not qualifying to receive or not electing to receive a pass - through, and /or projects serving the unincorporated areas of the county.

Although located within the City of Tukwila, this business fronts upon portions of International Boulevard and S. 160 St. owned and maintained by the City of SeaTac (see Figure 1). SeaTac is nearing completion of widening and reconstruction of this stretch of International Boulevard. Right -of -way requirements and construction of SeaTac's street improvement project has made necessary the removal or relocation of two nonconforming freestanding signs on the Dollar Rent - A -Car property. The location of these signs is indicated on Figure 2. Sign 1 remains standing, with one of its supporting poles located within the new sidewalk area for International Boulevard. Sign 2 was removed and extensively damaged during construction. The orange line on Figure 2 indicates the Tukwila/SeaTac boundary, which is also the old right -of -way line. The blue line shows the new right -of -way line for International Boulevard and for S. 160 Street. Tukwila's sign code requires that any modified or relocated sign must be brought into full compliance with the regulations for new signs. The Tukwila sign code would allow only one freestanding sign on this site, and it would have to be located with a setback equal to its height. Dollar Rent -A -Car is unwilling to give up the "grandfather" rights they have enjoyed for the two signs. SeaTac has requested that Tukwila consider the following options due to the likely cost involved in the acquisition of the signs through condemnation. OPTIONS Option A would involve agreement between Tukwila and SeaTac to adjust our municipal boundaries in a manner illustrated by the blue line on Figure 3. This would place two small portions of the Dollar Rent -A -Car property within the City of SeaTac. A relocated Sign I and a newly built Sign 2 could then be placed in these areas according to SeaTac's, rather than Tukwila's sign regulations. SeaTac has indicated the intention to process a dimensional sign Q:\ STEVE \INTERGOV\DollarSeaTac2.doc Page I ot2 waiver to allow the two signs if this option is pursued. Under SeaTac's sign code, two freestanding signs would be allowed; one for each frontage on International Boulevard and S. 160` St. Option B would have Tukwila issuing an administrative variance, by City Council resolution, to allow the signs to be placed just outside the new right -of -way (same locations as under Option 1). There is precedent for such an administrative variance. The City Council granted such a variance to Kentucky Fried Chicken when WSDOT improved the intersection of Tukwila International Boulevard and S. 144 Street in 1995 (Resolution No. 1330, see Attachment A). A draft resolution accomplishing this, modeled after Resolution No. 1330, is attached for your review (Attachment B). Option C would be for the City of Tukwila to take no action. Dollar Rent -A -Car would be limited to one freestanding sign. If they chose to re -use one of their existing signs, it would have to be set back from the new right -of -way line a distance equal to its height. Condemnation of the pre- existing signs would likely involve significant cost to the City of SeaTac.

WHEREAS, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has determined that certain improvements to the intersection of SR 99 and South 144th Street are necessary; and WHEREAS, it has been determined that in order to effect these improvements, it is necessary to acquire right of way and relocate a sign at the business known as KFC, located at 3742 South 144th Street; and WHEREAS, the sign is currently classified as non - conforming, and in accordance with Chapters 19.12.010 and 19.28.030 of the Tukwila Municipal Code, any non - conforming sign that is relocated must be altered to allow for compliance; and WHEREAS, no action would be necessary except for WSDOT's and the City's need for this property for a valuable public purpose; and WHEREAS, it would be contrary to public policy and cause undue financial hardship to the property owner to strictly apply Tukwila Municipal Codes Chapters 19.12 and 19.28 to a pre - existing conforming sign being moved on the behest of the City and State; and WHEREAS, the relocation of the sign is for the public welfare, safety and benefit, and is not initiated by or on behalf of the business or property owner, NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, DO HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: The Department of Community Development is hereby authorized to grant a permit for relocation of the free standing existing sign at the southeast corner of the KFC property located at South 144th Street and SR99. Relocation shall be an administrative variance to the Tukwila Municipal Code and will not be required to strictly comply with the criteria as specified in Chapter 19 of the Tukwila Municipal Code due to the compelling public policy reasons stated above.

N Date: June 23, 2004 Subject: Renewing the current moratorium on certain land divisions and development activities within the transit oriented development (TOD) planning area Background In September 2002, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a six -month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the transit - oriented development (TOD) planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail /Amtrak station (see Figure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at the station are in place. Ordinance No. 2037 will expire August 1, 2004. Council must decide whether to hold a public hearing and renew the ordinance or let the moratorium lapse. Planning for the TOD area is progressing, however there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a master plan for the area is in place. To date, Council has renewed the moratorium three times, modifying it to provide more flexibility in use of the parcels while the TUC plan was being developed. Since the last renewal in February 2004, staff has received one property owner request for modifications. Staff responses and recommendations regarding the proposed modifications are addressed below. Provisions of the Current Ordinance Within the TOD planning area, the current ordinance prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to land divisions and such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto - oriented businesses. The moratorium exempts the filing of and approvals related to the expansion of existing businesses on existing lots, sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements, and the extension of a current land use permit. It is important to note that even with the moratorium in place, there are more uses permitted in the TOD area than uses affected by the moratorium. The moratorium does not affect the filing of approvals related to all other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 -431 -3670 • Fax: 206-431-3665 Steven M.

W H • Allow recreation facilities (commercial- indoor) including bowling alleys, skating rinks and w p w shooting ranges. 2 • Allow multi - family housing, including senior citizen housing. g CO D Staff's recommendation is to not amend the moratorium at this time. As stated earlier, there are 1- w more uses permitted in the TOD area than uses affected by the moratorium. The above uses do z'_- not support the vision for the TOD area and require significant investment and thus are less z O likely to be redeveloped to a more TOD compatible use in the future. In addition, allowing multi- m family housing in the TOD area would first require a change in the zoning code. Should a specific m project be proposed that falls outside the uses permitted under the moratorium, staff will consider the o appropriateness of the project and bring it forward to the Council for deliberation w w I— • U There are no other substantive differences between the current ordinance and the proposed L'_- p w z U N H = O ~ z ordinance. Options 1. Council renews the Ordinance as is. Its provisions remain the same as the current Ordinance No. 2037, without modifications. The moratorium remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. 2. Council modifies the Ordinance. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and either renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. 3. Council allows the Ordinance to lapse. Land divisions, development activities and land uses will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of the TUC vision and other transportation improvements may be more difficult. Next Steps Staff recommends renewing the current ordinance and forwarding it on to the COW for a public hearing at their July 12 meeting. 3 L Transit - Oriented Development (TOD) Planning Area 1 i.. ..•*-m.m+..., ,,,, n ,,:n.*rwr att.T5 M".`MMOV';beL'J'., z w J U U U O W W i-' w 2 uQ U= 2 F Z = H 1- 0 Z I- w W U � O P- o W W I- -- -- • O ..

Automobile, recreational vehicles or travel trailer sales rooms and travel trailer or used car sales lots including automotive services. The automotive zoning would allow more flexibility to relocate existing or accommodate new car dealerships in Tukwila. 2. Recreation facilities (commercial- indoor) including bowling alleys, skating rinks and shooting ranges. Given the site constraints an indoor recreation facility would be a good use for the site. 3. Multi family including senior citizen housing. The multi family would preserve the potential for a mixed use transit oriental development. Thank you for your consideration.

The original contract amount for $24,500 was approved in September 2001 and a second contract for $10,500 was approved in November 2002. A third contract for $50,000 was approved in March 2004.

The issue was forwarded to the COW without a recommendation. On May 24, 2004, the Council discussed the proposed ordinance adopting the International Property Maintenance Code. It was decided at that meeting that further discussion of the CAP committee was needed prior to bringing it back to the Council for consideration or public hearing. During informal discussions with some council members additional questions arose. Staff has prepared responses to the questions below: 1. "Why don't we continue to use the 1997 Uniform Housing Code ?" In 1998, the City adopted the 1997 Uniform Housing Code together with the Uniform Building Code (UBC), the Uniform Fire Code (UFC), the Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC), and the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings (UCADB). This collection of codes published by ICBO regulates new construction and existing housing, as well as dangerous buildings. These codes were developed to work together and support each other. The City will be adopting the International Code Council's 2003 International Building Code (IBC), Fire Code (IFC), Mechanical Code (IMC) and Residential Code (IRC) as the governing codes for new construction and remodeling of existing buildings. As with the previously adopted ICBO codes, these ICC codes are designed to work together to achieve a safe built environment. The issues covered in the UHC and in the UCADB are addressed in the new 2003 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC). Since the IPMC, too, is designed to work hand -in -hand with the IBC, it makes sense to also adopt the IPMC rather than trying to make the UHC "work" with the International Codes. Other nearby cities which have or are about to adopt the IPMC, include SeaTac (in place for over a year); Burien (considering adoption shortly); Des Moines, Federal Way, and Covington. Memo to CAP Committee for June 29, 2003 meeting Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Page 1 53 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206-431-3665 nx..er�snae�rrtc'r�+nc.zwm+p,. Karr. n .rwr•� -r �.y 7 . s?rtr4�'"*3:�n Current Code (UHC) New Code (IPMC) Covers residential use only Includes both residential and non- residential buildings and their surroundings. "Dangerous Buildings" are covered in a separate code (UCADB). "Unsafe Structures and Equipment" are covered in Section 108. Silent on nuisances. The City of Tukwila has addresses nuisances in Chapter 8.28 of the TMC. Includes most "nuisance" issues, such as rodents, trash and debris, graffiti, etc. The presence of graffiti is not currently a code violation and there are no provisions requiring its removal. Graffiti is specifically addressed in Section 302.9 and requires the owner to remove. 2. "How does the IPMC compare with the Housing Code ?" Attached is a table comparing the existing Uniform Housing Code with the proposed Property Maintenance Code. Both codes have similar objectives to provide minimum standards and to promote the safety and welfare of buildings and their surrounding property. 3. "How will the new regulations change regarding ? (Paint, insect screens, swimming pool enclosures, etc.)." Several questions arose during an informal meeting regarding specific requirements of the new code and whether or not these were regulated under the current code. I will address these is order of their appearance in the new code: a. Section 302.3 Sidewalks and driveways...shall be kept in proper state of repair... • The new code does not REQUIRE paved driveways, but simply requires that if they exist they must be kept free from hazardous conditions. • Damage to public sidewalks from tree /plant roots is prohibited in TMC 11.20.140 under the jurisdiction of the Public Works department. b. Section 302.8 Motor Vehicles "...no inoperative... motor vehicle shall be parked...or stored on any premises...and no vehicle shall at any time be in a state of major disassembly..." This does not conflict with the recently adopted "Junk Vehicle Ordinance" but does address additional regulations: • Prohibits the painting of vehicles unless conducted inside an approved spray booth • Permits "major overhaul" work to be performed only inside a structure. This would not prevent a homeowner from changing a tire, or performing an oil change on their own vehicle in their driveway, but would prohibit the parting out or doing major rebuild or body work on a vehicle unless the work is conducted Memo to CAP Committee for June 29, 2003 meeting Ri7b' i,! Mt^ S' II��tRmRgh :'!2!3RM�!'!'•EMFMAA!A.. .... ww�ww+;*- sa•�on"o'+'N,m?K++T. 4 Page 2 sq inside a garage or other such structure. Code enforcement receives many complaints about "illegal car repair business" being operated at single- family residences and the junk vehicle ordinance doesn't always apply to these situations. c. Section 303 Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs z ? The language in the new code conflicts with Tukwila's Swimming Pool � 00 Current code: � LIJ w . • Requires a 5 -foot (60 -inch) high fence completely surrounding "man -made hard- surfaced" swimming pools but does not address hot tubs, spas, or above- t p ground pools. • Gate latches must be at least 4 -1/2 feet above the ground or made inaccessible g to small children from the outside. • A swimming pool located in a yard that is enclosed by a fence meets the w requirements of TMC 16.25 as long as the gates and doors meet the z requirements. z o . w w U o `� w • U 1 := w z U= 0 Regulations in Chapter 16.25. The new code: • Applies to all private swimming pools, hot tubs and spas containing water more than 24 inches in depth. • Requires a 48 -inch fence with a self - closing and self - latching gate or door. The latch must be located on the inside of the gate if less than 54 inches from the ground. • Requires that swimming pools be maintained in a clean, sanitary condition and in good repair. Tukwila's regulations are more stringent in some respects, requiring a taller fence, but do not specifically address above - ground pools, hot tubs or spas. The TMC is silent on the condition of the pool itself or the water it contains. The Council could consider a revision to the new code to bring it in line with the current code and use both regulations to govern swimming pools and spas. u d. Section 304 Exterior Structure • The new code (in 304.2 Protective treatment) requires that all exterior surfaces be protected from the elements by painting or other protective covering or treatment. • The current code (in Section 1001.8 Faulty Weather Protection) says that "buildings are considered substandard when they have faulty weather protection, which include(s)...lack of paint..." among other items. Memo to CAP Committee for June 29, 2003 meeting Page 3 55 . z e. Section 304.13.2 Openable Windows • Requires all non -fixed windows to be easily openable and capable of being held in place by the window hardware. This directly relates to fire and building code requirements for fire safety, exiting /egress and ventilation. f. Section 304.14 Insect Screens g. • The new code requires all doors, windows and other outside openings which are required for ventilation of habitable rooms, food preparation areas, etc. be fitted with screens. • This regulation applies to all buildings, but is primarily aimed at restaurants or food preparation facilities. • It is not likely that code enforcement would receive a complaint about lack of window screens on a private residence. It is possible, however, that a complaint would be received about lack of window screens in an apartment unit or rental house. • The current code does not require window or door screens. Section 304.18.1 Doors • The new code requires deadbolt locks on doors which provide access to dwelling units which are rented, leased or let. • The current code does not address this. h. Section 307 Rubbish and Garbage • The new code addresses garbage accumulation, storage facility requirements, disposal requirements, and container specifications as well as discarded refrigeration equipment. • The current code addresses these issues in the Nuisance Chapter (TMC 8.28) and in TMC 6 Health and Sanitation (TMC 6.12). Chapter 4 Light, Ventilation and Occupancy Limitations. • The new code focuses on the minimum standards for occupying a structure. • The new code places the responsibility for the conditions of the property on the property owner. • These new requirements are based on requirements of the new building codes (IBC /IRC) as they relate to light and ventilation. • The new code specifies occupancy limitations which include requirements for privacy, minimum ceiling heights, room dimensions and addresses overcrowding. • The current code specifies ceiling heights, floor areas, and minimum "habitable room" sizes which are very similar, but not identical, to the new code and relate to the code requirements of the 1997 Uniform Building Code. • Section 404.5 (page 14 of the new code) specifically states that "dwelling units shall not be occupied by more occupants than permitted by the minimum area requirements of Table 404.5." There was considerable discussion during the COW meeting about "required dining rooms ". There are no requirements Memo to CAP Committee for June 29, 2003 meeting Page 4 for either living rooms or dining rooms for 1 or 2 occupants of a dwelling unit. The requirements for living room or dining room for more than 2 occupants is set in the table. There is a provision for "combined living /dining room spaces" if there is no separate dining room. For 3 -5 occupants, the requirement is either 120 square feet for living room (10x12) and 80 square feet for a separate dining room (8x10) OR 200 square feet (10x20) as "combined" space. Six or more occupants require 150 square feet (10x15) for =1-- : living and 100 (10x10) for dining OR a combined space of 250 square feet LLi (25x10). 6 • Section 404.6 outlines the requirements for "efficiency units" for up to three o O occupants. These "studio" apartments usually consist of one room with areas co w set aside for cooking, living /dining /sleeping and a separate bathroom. These E are permitted and the size is specified. ui u i 0 • All the requirements governing "overcrowding" and minimum housing sizes are easily calculated and will make the process of determining whether or not g there is a code violation easier on staff. c = ui Chapter 5 (Plumbing Facilities & Fixture Requirements) and Chapter 6 z (Mechanical & Electrical Requirements) z O w • The new code outlines the minimum requirements for plumbing systems, D o mechanical systems, and electrical facilities for both residential and non- o residential uses with references to the new Plumbing Code and Mechanical w Code. 0 • • King County Public Health issues plumbing permits and conducts plumbing Y p inspections for the City of Tukwila. iu z • Washington State Labor & Industries issues electrical permits and conducts r v —„ electrical inspections. . • The City works closely with both these agencies to ensure that all the proper permits are obtained when required. k. Chapter 7 (Fire Safety Requirements) • Sets the minimum requirements and standards for fire safety relating to structures and exterior premises. References are made to the new Fire Code. • It places the responsibility for provision and maintenance of these systems on the property owner. This is particularly helpful when dealing with rental units. Attachment A is a detailed spreadsheet comparing the current codes, to the new International Property Maintenance Code. Memo to CAP Committee for June 29, 2003 meeting Page 5 5'1 "arismi Summary The IPMC is designed to work hand -in -hand with the newly adopted Building Codes. Other nearby cities which have or are about to adopt the IPMC are, SeaTac, Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, and Covington. Tukwila would not be out of step with their neighboring cities. The actual differences between the currently used Uniform Housing Code and the new 2003 International Property Maintenance Code are relatively minor. The intent of each is to provide minimum standards for ensuring the safety of existing buildings. An additional provision in the ordinance gives the city the option to be reimbursed for abatement costs by attaching a lien against the property taxes. This provision will make it easier for the city to more promptly be reimbursed for any costs should we need to abate the nuisance. This process requires several hearings and other legal processes and is only used in the most serious cases. It is staff's recommendation that the City adopt the IPMC, deleting most of our current nuisance ordinances contained in TMC 8.28 and references to the UHC in TMC 16.06. Next Step If the CAP has no further issues with this ordinance staff recommends this be forwarded to the July 12, 2004 COW meeting.

Background There has been a moratorium on the acceptance of applications for certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for transit - oriented development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail /Amtrak station at Longacres since September, 2002. The current moratorium, Ordinance No. 2025, will expire February 18, 2004. Planning for the TOD area is underway, and there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place. Staff recommends renewing the ordinance with a modification to allow the UUP for the temporary Sounder Commuter Rail Station to be extended while the moratorium is in place. Update on the TOD Plan Since passage of the moratorium: • All but one of the series of workshops and stakeholder meetings have occurred. • The staff and consultant team, based on workshop results, is preparing detailed land use scenarios (based on public and City feedback) for the combined TUC /TOD areas, using two development alternatives. • This plan will be folded into the overall Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) plan. A draft TUC plan is anticipated to be available in June, 2004. The final TUC Plan is anticipated to be completed and ready for the adoption process in fall of 2004. Provisions of the Ordinance The only substantive differences between the proposed ordinance and the existing one is that the proposed ordinance allows for the extension of a current land use permit from the moratorium provisions. Within the TOD planning area, the proposed ordinance: • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to: land divisions such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto- oriented businesses. • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to: 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 Steven M.

There are more uses permitted than restricted under the moratorium. Summary of Public Hearing Comments There were no public comments at the hearing held on July 12, 2004. No written comments were received. Proposed Next Steps Council adopts the proposed ordinance, and allows Ordinance No. 2037 to expire. Council revisits the moratorium in six months (January 2005). Staff Recommendations There is still a need for keeping the existing ordinance in place until a land use /transportation framework is adopted. Staff recommends renewing the ordinance without modifications. I Alice Strand - Supplemental information for ECONorthwest From: Hiroyuki Sasaki <hiro @ftburbandesign.com> To: Alice Strand <Alice -S @ci.tukwila.wa.us> Date: 1/20/04 11:43AM Subject: Supplemental information for ECONorthwest Dear Alice, Per the phone conversation with Terry of ECONorthwest, the supplemental information they need to get from FTB for their economic and fiscal analyses is as follows: 1. Likely Build -Out Scenarios for Initial Catalyst Developments (for Mall to Pond & Mall to Station) These are build -out scenario spread sheets representing our Envisioned Town Pattern Scenarios - Initial Catalyst Redevelopment for the Mall to Pond and Mall to Station alternatives. 2. Capital Improvement Costs for Initial Catalyst Developments (for Mall to Pond & Mall to Station) The major products for this task are matrices showing all capital improvements needed for the Initial Catalyst Redevelopments and their cost, timing and source of funding. We would like to bring your attention that neither of these tasks is included in our original scope of services. Regarding 1. Likely Build -Out Scenarios for Initial Catalyst Development, since we prepared build -out scenarios for the year 2020 for the traffic analysis, it is relatively easy to prepare them based on the ones for 2020. Therefore, we will provide this information with no extra cost. Regarding 2. Capital Improvement Costs for Initial Catalyst Developments, it will require a major effort on FTB's part.

Z City of Tukwila Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director TO: City of Tukwila Councilmembers From: Steve Lancaster L/`-' Date: January 20, 2004 Subject: Public hearing on an ordinance renewing a temporary moratorium on land divisions and certain land use decisions in the Longacres TOD planning area. Background To date, Council has adopted three six -month moratoriums on the acceptance of applications for certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for transit- oriented development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail /Amtrak station at Longacres (see Figure 1). The first Ordinance (No. 1996) was adopted in September 2002. When it expired in March, 2003, Council adopted Ordinance No. 2014, allowing more interim use of properties during this planning period, while maintaining a moratorium on activities and uses that would have significant long -term impacts on the ability to successfully develop a TOD. When Ordinance 2014 expired on August 30, 2003, Council adopted Ordinance No. 2025, which extended the existing moratorium. Planning for the TOD area is underway, and there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a master plan for the area is in place. CAP authorized staff to forward the proposed ordinance to Council for a public hearing at their COW meeting on January 26, 2004. Notice for the public hearing on the moratorium was provided. In addition, individual letters were sent to affected property owners and businesses notifying them of the scheduled hearing. Attached is a copy of the proposed ordinance. Update on the TOD Plan In the fall of 2002, the City received a $1.5 million federal grant to: • prepare a TOD master plan for the Longacres area, identifying land use, urban design and transportation/circulation objectives • complete the Tukwila urban center (TUC) plan and incorporate the TOD plan in the overall plans for the TUC. Since passage of the moratorium: • all but one of the series of workshops and stakeholder meetings have occurred. • The staff and consultant team, based on workshop results, is preparing detailed land use scenarios (based on public and City feedback) for the combined TUC /TOD areas, using two development alternatives. • This plan will be folded into the overall Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) plan. A draft TUC plan is anticipated to be available in June, 2004. The final TUC Plan is anticipated to be completed and ready for the adoption process in fall of 2004. Steven M. Mullet, Mayor 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206- 431 -3665 z • • = w 2 . 00 0 c J I=— � w 0 g Q . i ▪ _. z F- 0 w ~ w gy 0p v O— :0 I-- W LL w z co O ~ Z In November, 2000, the Council approved an Unclassified Use Permit (UUP) for the construction and operation of the temporary Sounder Commuter Rail Station located within the TOD area. This UUP will expire at the end of February. In February, staff will be recommending the extension of this UUP for the temporary station so that the design of the permanent Sounder z station can be coordinated with the final TUC /TOD plan. Staff recommends a modification to z H the current moratorium ordinance to allow the UUP for the temporary station to be extended ILI EL 2 while the moratorium is in place. 6 D 00 Provisions of the Ordinance cn w J H Within the TOD planning area the current ordinance: N u_ w O 2 • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to: g - land divisions N n - such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto- oriented businesses. x w z • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to: 1-- O - - The expansion of existing businesses on existing lots. - Sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements. v • a o cn 0 I- • Allows the filing of approvals related to: w w - All other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the • � ? vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales LL- z lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. 111 co 2 . O H • Allows for the extension of a current land use permit from the moratorium provisions. z Proposed Next Steps 1. Council holds a public hearing on the moratorium at their COW meeting on January 26, 2004. 2. At the next regular meeting on February 2, 2004, Council has the following options: a. Take no action. Current Ordinance No. 2025, establishing a moratorium on development in the TOD, will expire on February 18, 2004. Land divisions, development activities and land uses will be allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of a TOD and other transportation improvements may be more difficult. b. Adopt the proposed ordinance, essentially extending the current moratorium for six months. Council would then revisit the issue in six months (August, 2004). Staff Recommendations There is still a need for keeping the existing ordinance in place until a land use /transportation framework is adopted. Staff recommends renewing the ordinance with the modification allowing the extension of permits for current land use permits. Attached is a copy of the ordinance.

Consultant Recommendation 6 6 D JU 00 U) 0 ISSUE J Approve AHBL, Inc., for $58,354.00 to perform design work for the Fort Dent/Interurban w o Avenue South Sewer Project. 2 u_ Q co D Starfire Sports is constructing a soccer facility in Fort Dent Park. When the indoor soccer Z w center is complete, the existing Sanitary Lift Station No. 6 will not have enough capacity to 0 accommodate the proposed sewage flows from the soccer center. w f- 0 The existing Sanitary Sewer Lift Station No. 6, serving the Fort Dent area, will be at over w w capacity with the completion of the Starfire Soccer Complex in Fort Dent Park this summer. 1 To mitigate the increased flows of sanitary sewage to Lift Station No. 6 from Starfire Soccer 0 Complex, the flows from Lift Station No. 5 will be rerouted west in Fort Dent Way and then north in Interurban Avenue South 2100 linear feet north to the existing sanitary sewer. o 1 z BACKGROUND ANALYSIS INFORMATION MEMO Since this is a City owned facility and does not enhance the entire sewer system, this project will be initially funded by the City's 303 Facilities Fund. The 303 Fund will be reimbursed by Starfire's permit fees along with future development and possibly by the sewer fund. Three firms were short-listed from the current Consultant Roster; AHBL, Inc., The McAndrews Group and SVR. AHBL, Inc. has been involved in the design of municipal infrastructures for over 20 years and has the most direct experience and understanding of the needs of the City of Tukwila for this project. Therefore, AHBL, Inc. is recommended to carry out the design work for the Fort Dent/Interurban Avenue South Sanitary Sewer Project.

Miscellaneous Painting Project Acceptance The City had painting and miscellaneous small projects at the Tukwila Library, Minkler Shops and other places. Washington Industrial Coatings won the bid for the project, which was completed in late October 2003. The project was within budget. Pam noticed a small accounting error that will be adjusted. Jim said he will try to change the way small painting projects are bid in the future. Recommend to consent agenda acceptance of project and release of retainage to Washington Industrial Coatings. 2. Duwamish Area Improvements The project to install sewers, storm drains, sidewalks and some street improvements is finished. The project a joint one between the City and ValVue whose sewer district covers Duwamish. Both governments each spent about $1.1 million on the project. The City and ValVue got a Public Works Trust Fund loan to cover the cost of improvements. The project is in and working well. Recommend project acceptance at a Regular Meeting. 3. Fort Dent/ Interurban Sewer Project There are currently two lift stations around Fort Dent Park. After studying the area, staff recommended the Starfire project's storm water go to Lift , Station 6 at the north end of the park. From there it will go under the railroad tracks to the Metro sewer treatment plant. However, with more development going into that area, more capacity is needed. The solution is to also run a storm drain line on Interurban from Fort Dent north. The $150,000 cost for that line will come from the small projects 303 fund, which is a general fund. The committee wanted to know why the funds weren't taken from the enterprise fund, or if repayments of the cost through future developer agreements could repay the 303 fund. Jim said he would include a page on the financing of the project when it comes to Council. ' Another issue that was discussed was what level of project was allowed to be done by short-list consultants. Staff replied that all engineering designs can come from that list. Its purpose is to ensure a certain quality in the engineering reports. Recommend AHBL agreement and financing details to COW. 4. Golf Course Project Change Order Mike explained they found out in late November they needed a new sewer line to the clubhouse due to a fracture and sag affecting flow in the former line intended to be used.. When the decision to replace the pipe was made they asked the current contractor to estimate costs. Mike. The City rejected the price as too high, and the contractor secured other proposals that demonstrated nearly the same costs or higher. The higher costs are attributed to the need to deeply excavate a trench to expected 22' depths, and the equipment, materials, and labor needed to de- water, shore and brace the trench. Ground water can cause collapses and fill the trench unless de- watering wells and related measures are taken to prevent that. Mike said they are anxious to proceed to keep the project on its mid April opening schedule; however, this may keep the rest of the parking lot from being completed on schedule. !c�r.+n7•;� +1,r�r, tx:+ c* Y�v�" � s ^ _= :.'"^'�'w.r..�"''_.._' -:!!� Fti!.'

Community and Parks Committee January 13, 2004 Present: Pam Linder, Chair; Joe Duffie, Dave Fenton Steve Lancaster, Rhonda Berry, Lucy Lauterbach Renewing Moratorium on TOD The moratorium on building in the Transit Oriented Development area (TOD) has been in place since 2002. Since that time the City has broadened the uses allowed in the area. The TOD master plan has also made progress, with a series of meetings to explore future land uses and infrastructure plans. The current moratorium will expire February 18. Steve explained that one thing in the ordinance extending the moratorium is an allowance for the Sound Transit station unclassified use permit to be extended. Staff wants that provision in order to allow negotiations for the station to proceed. Steve thought they could negotiate a better permanent station if the permit were not forced to be closed now. The design for the permanent station is still in flux. Pam asked about staffing for Sound Transit. Steve said he has had from 1 -1.25 FTE people working on Sound Transit over the past couple of years. However, as work on permitting is nearing an end, the next phase will relate more to development and construction, which is why Public Works is devoting a person to Sound Transit now. Pam asked that he detail that in a short memo to Council. Recommend moratorium ordinance to COW. Tukwila Library Rhonda and the mayor have a meeting with Bill Ptacek to discuss changes at Tukwila Library. Rhonda explained the City had an agreement with the Library District in 1982, and another interlocal was adopted when citizens assumed the cost of the Library District taxes in 1991.

January 12, 2004 Dear Sir or Madam: City of Tukwila Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director The Tukwila City Council is considering renewing Ordinance No. 2025 establishing a temporary moratorium on certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for Transit- Oriented Development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail/Amtrak station at Longacres (see Figure 1). This renewal will include a modification allowing the extension of current land use permits under the moratorium. According to City records, your property or business may be affected by this moratorium. Consequently, we wanted to notify you of the public hearing on this ordinance scheduled for Monday, January 26, 2004, at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, located in Tukwila City Hall, 6200 Southcenter Blvd. The moratorium is intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD are in place. Within the TOD area, the current ordinance: NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to: • land divisions • such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto - oriented businesses. • Allows the filing of and approvals related to: - The expansion of existing businesses on existing lots. - Sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements. Steven M. Mullet, Mayor • Allows the filing of approvals related to: All other uses currently allowed under TUC (Tukwila Urban Center) zoning which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. The current Ordinance, No. 2025, expires February 18, 2004. Council must hold a public hearing and decide whether to renew the ordinance or let the moratorium lapse. Planning for the TOD 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 -2- area is underway, and there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a master plan for the area is in place. For additional information, or to obtain a copy of the proposed ordinance, please contact Alice Strand, Senior Planner, or Jack Pace, Deputy Director, at 206.431.3670.

WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila issued an Unclassified Use Permit in 1999 allowing Sound Transit to construct a temporary station for Sounder commuter rail and Amtrak service at the Longacres site, adjacent to the Burlington Northern Railroad; and WHEREAS, Sounder's Unclassified Use Permit for the temporary station expires in February 2004, and either the station must be built or permit renewed prior to this date; and WHEREAS, the City recognized the unique opportunity to promote a more compact, mixed -use, pedestrian - supportive pattern of development that makes effective use of its proximity and accessibility to the rail station, and includes a mix of retail, service, office and residential uses; and WHEREAS, a more intensive pattern of transit - oriented development (TOD) would assist the City with the redevelopment of the Tukwila Urban Center, one of thirteen designated urban centers within King County, and provide workers with commercial, public and recreational services close to where they live or work; and WHEREAS, a more intensive pattern of TOD would benefit the region by assisting in achieving Growth Management Act requirements and increasing local and regional transit ridership; and WHEREAS, in August 2001, the City held a workshop, inviting other key stakeholders to explore the possibilities for a TOD in the Longacres area; and WHEREAS, the workshop resulted in strong support for the project and a "vision" for land use and transportation in the Longacres TOD area; and WHEREAS, to implement this vision, the City applied for and was awarded a $1.5 million grant by the Federal Highways Administration to prepare a master plan for the Longacres area, identifying land use, urban design and transportation /circulation objectives, as well as to prepare implementing ordinances and design guidelines, complete environmental review of the plan and designate it as a planned action, and integrate the design of the permanent commuter rail /Amtrak station; and WHEREAS, while the City anticipates the TOD master plan project to be completed by the end of 2003, some issues need to be addressed immediately in order for the TOD project to be successful; and TOD Moratorium Renewal 8/14/03 1 WHEREAS, the "Tukwila Urban Center" zoning district allows for a variety of high- intensity regional uses in the TOD planning area, including light industry and warehousing, some of which may not be of appropriate type, density or character to support the intent of a TOD; and WHEREAS, the City has already received a proposal for development within the TOD planning area that would have been inconsistent with the stated vision for the TOD and threaten the successful implementation of the TOD master plan; and • WHEREAS, the Longacres site is considered one of the region's key opportunities for TOD, primarily due to the large amount of vacant and redevelopable land surrounding the station; and WHEREAS, any significant amount of new development occurring prior to the establishment of a desired pattern of uses in the TOD master plan could jeopardize the City's ability to implement the TOD plan; and WHEREAS, the City's Municipal Code allows for the division of land and adjustment of boundary lines that, if allowed to occur in the TOD planning area, would make future land assemblage for a TOD project difficult and costly, and threaten the successful implementation of the TOD master plan; and WHEREAS, within the TOD planning area, the City desires to take immediate steps to preserve the land available for development or redevelopment, and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until the master plan and environmental review for the TOD at the Longacres site are completed, certain implementing zoning regulations are adopted by the City, and other related regional transportation infrastructure issues are decided; and WHEREAS, the City also desires to ensure public input on these issues; and WHEREAS, the City desires to preserve the status quo for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of City residents, as it relates to development in Tukwila, until these matters are more fully considered and, therefore, has determined that an emergency exists; and WHEREAS, on September 16, 2002, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1996, establishing a six -month moratorium on acceptance of applications for certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for transit - oriented development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail /Amtrak station at the Longacres site; and WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 1996 expired on March 16, 2003, and the TOD planning process was not yet completed; and WHEREAS, a public hearing on this proposed ordinance was held on February 24, 2003 and Council adopted Ordinance No. 2014 on March 3, 2003; and WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 2014 will expire on August 30, 2003, and the TOD planning process is not yet completed; and WHEREAS, a public hearing on this proposed ordinance was held on August 11, 2003; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

Q PUBLIC HEARING: cc 6 AN ORDINANCE RENEWING A MORATORIUM ON CERTAIN o 0 LAND DIVISIONS AND LAND USES IN THE TRANSIT ORIENTED cn w DEVELOPMENT (TOD) PLANNING AREA AN ORDINANCE OF THE w CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUWKILA, WASHINGTON, N o RENEWING A SIX -MONTH MORATORIUM ON ACCEPTANCE OF APPLICATIONS FOR CERTAIN LAND DIVISIONS, AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AND LAND USES WITHIN THE AREA u DESIGNATED FOR TRANSIT - ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT w a AROUND THE TEMPORARY COMMUTER RAIL /AMTRAK F— Wm STATION AT THE LONGACRES SITE; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND w o ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE g o 0 c Lynn Miranda, Senior Planner, Department of Community Development, reviewed the history of this o - issue. Since September of 2002, a moratorium has been in place on the acceptance of applications for w w certain land divisions, development activities and land uses within the transit - oriented development (TOD) area, around the Longacres Commuter Rail/Amtrak station. "—.- z Ili co As the planning process for the TOD area began (over a year ago) the moratorium was put in place to preserve the land for future development and to restrict the development of new uses that could have z been inconsistent with the overall vision of the area. Since that time, steady progress has been made by holding three public workshops, developing proposed land use and transportation scenarios, and anticipating that all plans will be developed/done "early, in 2004." Reporting on the provisions of the existing moratorium, Ms. Miranda reminded Council it will expire on August 30, 2003. To that end, City staff recommends renewal of the moratorium for another 6 -month period. The ordinance being proposed (renewing the moratorium) contains no substantive changes over that which now exists. Attendance to the first Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) Workshop was approximately 70 people. The second TUC workshop had approximately 45 attendees; and approximately 35 persons attended the TOD workshop, held later. 7:14 p.m. Council President Carter declared the public hearing opened. Tom Kalil, 15415 Nelson Place South, asked if City Administration is prepared to spend monies in order to move power lines and/or railroad tracks. Mr. Kalil believes that in order to make this a residential or retail area, both must be moved. He sees no reason to continue the moratorium if these issues are not being considered. 7:15 p.m. Council President Carter declared the public hearing closed and reported action would take http: / /www.ci.tukwila .wa.us /clerk/docs03 /cow8- 11.htm 12/09/2003 Minutes, 8/11/03 Page 3 of 9 place at the August 18, 2003 Regular meeting. Council Deliberation /Discussion: Councilmember Hernandez, unable to attend the TOD workshop, asked if the issue of moving power lines and/or railroad tracks was raised. Ms. Miranda responded in the affirmative. In fact, it was a major focus for the workshop. Additionally, opportunities associated with redevelopment of the area were discussed. Costs will be significant to move the power lines and the railroad track and this is all part of the planning process. Thus, there is a need for a renewed moratorium — to gather additional information and report back to the community and Council. Councilmember Haggerton did attend one of the workshops. He noted several people held different views as to the vision of the TOD area. Some were in favor of residential areas and moving power lines, yet there was, and is, nothing definitive about those ideas. He asked if anyone has stated complaints with regard to the current moratorium or the proposed ordinance to renew the moratorium. Ms. Miranda has not received any telephone calls. For action, Council consensus existed to forward this item to the August 18 Regular meeting. SPECIAL ISSUES: a. Wet - Floodproofing of the Starfire Maintenance and Concession Facility Councilmember Linder reported review of this item at the August 5 Utilities Committee meeting. She reminded Council that a very similar variance request was received (and approved in June, 2003) to wet - floodproof the main (Starfire) structure at Fort Dent Park. The current request is to wet - floodproof the maintenance /concession facility by allowing floodwaters to enter the structure and elevate all of its components at least one foot above the base flood elevation. The building contains restrooms, a concession area and storage. Clerical note: The remainder of the structure (under the one -foot elevation) would be allowed to flood and will be constructed of materials that withstand flood damage. Since this is not the standard established by the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA), a variance must be issued. Jim Morrow, Public Works Director, reported Starfire has requested the City, by way of petition, approve a variance to our existing flood ordinance, to allow wet - floodproofing. Staff seeks support of the variance to the ordinance. Certain conditions will be placed on the permit in the event the variance is granted. Such conditions include the execution of a Hold Harmless Agreement (for the City); continuous insurance is to be in place, along with certification from the insurance company that wet - floodproofing procedures will be used during construction; and a request to install a manual shut -off valve for the sewer system. The City does not want floodwaters to inundate the sewer system. Finally, a condition will be placed on the permit that all potentially - dangerous materials stored in the maintenance shed, must be kept at least one foot above the flood plain elevation. Mr. Morrow noted a small area within Fort Dent Park is above the flood elevation. City staff asked Starfire if the facility could be placed within that area. With a desire for stadium seating and the concession stand, the location is not compatible with the proposed architecture of the building. The Public Works Director, responding to an inquiry by Councilmember Haggerton, reported separation http: / /www.ci.tuk .wa.us /clerk/docs03 /cow8- 11.htm ._... + +- �vn..wwJ.: w' W.ne.�....r� ✓+.++ t ur n ..... �Mf » �.�...J..�1�._...�)'C•�..._ _. .. . 12/09/2003 Minutes, 8/11/03 Page 4 of 9 of the two requests by Starfire was a choice made by the group. Starfire's primary concern, upon submission of the first request for variance, was the main athletic center. They wanted to begin earthwork in the Spring of 2003, thus the City got their permit ready within the goals established. Weekly meetings are held with Starfire on this, as well as other efforts associated with the development. Ms. Linder reported a conversation with Starfire representatives wherein it was learned a preliminary request for insurance coverage was made and approved. For action, Council consensus existed to forward this item to the August 18 Regular meeting. b. Cascade Water Alliance (CWA) Supply Contract and Costs Councilmember Linder reported review of this item at the August 5 Utilities Committee meeting. Committee members recommended a "yes" vote at the upcoming Cascade Water Alliance meeting. She noted CWA recently completed contract negotiations to purchase a wholesale block of water from the City of Seattle. Reviewing page 33 of the Council packet for this meeting, Ms. Linder reported a model has been put together comparing costs between members of the CWA and those such as Water District 125 who are on the direct service contract. Rates through the block contract will be lower than the full- service contract in the near term (47 years), yet will raise by the year 2020 due to the new supply and water treatment plant work at Lake Tapps. Jim Morrow, Public Works Director, stated Pat Brodin, Operations Manager, Public Works, has done a terrific job sifting through all the issues surrounding this agreement. Mr. Morrow also reported that the City of Tukwila has no near -term, significant growth projects which would put a huge demand on the water supply systems which serve the City (the part of the City which is served by the Tukwila utilities), therefore, consideration of the agreement came down to one issue — who is going to provide the cheapest water rates for the City in the near- and long -term. Additionally, staff must ask if we need to be concerned about the costs of looking for a second water source. While we need to be cognizant of the implications, we must also ask who is going to guarantee us the best costs over the near term. For clarification, it was noted the proposed contract has an exit clause that allows a member who was previously a Seattle Wholesale customer to withdraw from the Cascade Water Alliance if they so choose. Then, the Cascade Block will be decreased proportionately by the amount of allocated water to that member. Pat Brodin, Operations Manager, Public Works, added the consultant (for CWA) has projected costs out to the time Lake Tapps is projected to come on line. In 2007, the second supply project is anticipated to come on line and a surplus may come from that source. That cost is believed to be less than the Seattle rate. The RCFC charge was intended for growth to pay for growth. If that growth does not happen, the City may have to pay some debt service, which would have to be supplemented by increased rates. The City of Tukwila does not anticipate seeing such growth as is being experienced by some eastside communities. Council discussed the time and staff was able to provide clarification where necessary. Reported was a September 3, 2003 meeting at Sumner City Hall, for all Pierce County communities to http: / /www.ci.tukwila .wa.us /clerk/docs03 /cow8- 11.htm 12/09/2003 .: � , .".?L�,*,s�,'•�rk„,�', °."1`�'W�... .,..;t1t?,$?3. t fi?` ��. �� , .�...,. , �'�"+"T"�_'�_°.^'�`3' <.. �»•� ...— . *'"T`T"C'" Minutes, 8/11/03 discuss the Lake Tapps project. Mayor Barbara Skinner has invited all elected officials, community members, CWA members and the general public to attend this information exchange. While the CWA contract is set to expire in 50 years, the contract in place with Seattle will dissolve in 2011. For action, Council consensus existed to forward this item to the August 18 Regular meeting. c. Kin ' Coun Animal Control Interlocal A ' reement Amendment Page 5 of 9 Rhonda Berry, Acting City Administrator, presented a draft proposal that articulates additional accountability provisions, previously requested by the Council. Once discussed, the agreement will be taken back to King County for consideration and/or approval. King County knows the City of Tukwila will not pay the new (increased rate) for the first 6 months of 2003. The new rate ($60.00 per hour), beginning July 1, also includes provisions of tracking dates of services, calendaring dates of service, type- coding services provided, etc. while in Tukwila. Currently, the City contracts for 12 hours of enhanced services per week. In response to Council inquiry, Ms. Berry reported the City of Tukwila is giving King County 6 months to comply with the provisions of the amended contract (for enhanced services). Beyond that, either party may terminate this agreement with 30 -days notice to the other. Additionally, the City can cut back on the number of hours being requested (per week) from the County. No invoices or statements have been received in 2003, as negotiations were underway. Since discussions and negotiations have begun, staff has witnessed a perceived increase of presence by County staff in the area of animal control; yet no written verification of such can be accurately provided. Tukwila's costs, without enhanced services, are zero. King County works in Tukwila by virtue of the fact they receive sales tax from the City. Without enhanced services, Tukwila is only offered response to telephone calls; no patrol for animal control, etc. Council spoke of the need for accountability on behalf of the Animal Control Officers of King County, and thus, the need for the provisions being proposed. City staff is working on the issue of personal contact with the officers (while on duty) via cellular phone or other method. In the past, it has been difficult, at best, to contact officers for assistance. A telephone number for weekends and holidays may also be requested and distributed. Anna Bernhart, 14241 — 59 Avenue South, Tukwila, reminded Council the Contract could be reviewed on a yearly basis. Concerns could be raised when performing that review. For action, Council consensus existed to forward this item to the August 18 Regular meeting. d. Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team (V - Net) Seizure Fund Councilmember Duffle announced consideration of this item at the August 4 Finance and Safety Committee meeting. Alan Doerschel, Finance Director, reported the need to approve a budget motion allowing disbursement of $240,000.00 among six member cities of the Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team (VNET). Said http: / /www.ci.tukwila .wa.us /clerk/docs03 /cow8- 11.htm 12/09/2003 Minutes, 8/11/03 amount has amassed over the past "few" years. Seized funds from VNET are only allowed to be expended on police overtime or brand new programs within VNET. Therefore, when the amount of funds escalates (such as to the amount of this transaction) a motion is made and monies are distributed to member cities for use on such items as in -car cameras for police, highway cameras, and other police - related activities /programs. For action, Council consensus existed to forward this item to the August 18 Regular meeting. e. U s date on Connectivi and Tukwila Villa ' e 1. CONNECTIVITY ISSUES Alan Doerschel, Finance Director, presented a potential $10 million figure on connectivity efforts and as much as $14 million "to acquire all the land" associated with the Tukwila Village project. Pro'ects Page 6 of 9 While the Tukwila Village project has been worked on in some fashion since 1998, the connectivity project is still in its infancy in terms of a full commitment to proceed. Related to connectivity issues, much study has been completed to date. For cabling, $25,000 has been spent, and another $30,000 has been spent on survey to determine levels of use. Nearly one year has been spent investigating content providers and system configurations. The next step for this project is to seek Council approval to renew the contract with David Luman d/b /a Asset Analytics, currently set to expire July 31, 2003. As significant progress has been made toward a final decision to build the infrastructure necessary and because the work Asset Analytics will do is more specific than that in the past, it is beneficial to the City to pay an hourly rate, versus a monthly fee. The Finance Director spoke in favor of: •Extend Mr. Luman's contract through December 2003, at the rate of $165 per hour, at least through the end of 2003. If the City decides to proceed further, the contractor could be reviewed as a potential project manager. •Fund design and Engineering System design of the entire City. This effort would provide both an estimated cost to build the infrastructure necessary to bring connectivity to every business and residence and have the specific actions necessary to go out for bid in 2004. In order to reach these goals by the end of 2003, it may cost between $80,000 and $90,000 (to be taken from the Ending Fund Balance). When all studies are done and information is received, the City will determine whether or not it can proceed. If the City decides to move forward at that point, we will acquire short-term bonding. The cost of building the basic infrastructure for the entire City could cost between $5 -8 million. We'll learn what types of arrangements are feasible with content providers and we'll learn cost of their involvement in the entire project. Councilmember Fenton noted 145,000 feet of conduit is already in place (in the ground) that the City did not even know existed. This is a plus. After visiting Provo, Utah where a very similar project has been completed, Mr. Fenton is sure the City of Tukwila is proceeding in a proper fashion. He spoke in favor of contacting would -be partners for the project (AT &T, Verizon, Qwest and Comcast) to determine who may desire tying into the network. http: / /www.ci.tukwila .wa.us /clerk/docs03 /cow8- 11.htm 12/09/2003 z • 1 '~ w JU O 0 • 0 u1 W J • w 0 u .

TUKWILA VILLAGE Mayor Mullet, referring to a spreadsheet prepared by Alan Doerschel, noted the City has spent $7.869 million through the end of July, 2003. This included purchases of the Newporter Property (Carwash site), South City Motel, nine houses, District 125 property, Fantasy Express, Yoshikawa property, King County Housing Authority property, and Country Vittles Restaurant. Remaining properties to be acquired, at an estimated $5.8 million, include the Southgate Mobile Home Park; the Ben Carol Motel; the X- Car/Butters property; and paying a share of building a new Carwash. The Mayor also pointed out a projected sale of 12.2 acres of land @ $15 per square foot, for a total of $7,971,500.00. The approximate total for properties ($13,669,000.00), minus the approximate amount for land ($7,971,500.00), equals a net contribution by the City in the amount of $5,697,500.00. The City is reviewing the potential for purchasing the Foster Library building for a teen center or other uses. This Library could only move if a buyer exists, and the potential cost is $1.2 -$1.3 million. Whether or not a teen center is actually established is a policy decision for the City Council and such a decision has not yet been made. Questions and answers were exchanged relative to properties already purchased, to be purchased, permits, costs of infrastructure, and proceeding further. Mayor Mullet left Council chambers at 8:35 p.m. Councilmember Haggerton asked, in light of the current economic situation, how the City could afford "all these dollars." Mr. Doerschel noted, with the exception of connectivity, the City has funded all expenditures. He also noted that if the City could build Tukwila Village for the anticipated approximate amount of $5.8 million, the City would actually make money. Of monies required ($8.5 million is allocated), the City would have $2.5 million remaining in the Financial Planning Model to help pay for a parking garage and site improvements. Further discussions centered on Foster Library, purchases to be made, the motel, parking garage, and the general welfare of the City. Mr. Doerschel spoke favorably of continuing with this project. And, in light of an increasing deficit, gambling revenues are up and sales tax revenues are "holding steady." Mr. Fenton raised awareness of received grants from the Pubic Works Trust Fund (PWTF). Mr. Doerschel informed Council that approximately $3 million (plus) for Cascade View Park has been received, with an interest rate of 1 — 2 %, creating a savings of nearly $2 million in interest payments, over the life of the bonds. Other monies received from the PWTF include $7 million for use in Foster Pt. and Allentown's storm and surface water and sewer hookups. Thus, the City is borrowing money, yet at a very low rate. Rates must be reviewed and nominally increased, and the CIP must be readjusted. These require no matching monies. Other grants have been received and will be used for Phase III of Tukwila International Boulevard and other projects. These require matching monies at 20 %. More information will come to a Committee of Whole meeting to be determined. Mr. Doerschel http: / /www.ci.tukwila .wa.us /clerk/docs03 /cow8- 11.htm 12/09/2003 ',.�i.w..

V_~ O z. o 0 ~` Z Background Update on the TOD Plan City of Tukwila TO: City of Tukwila Councilmembers From: Steve Lancaster x Date: August 6, 2003 Subject: Public hearing on an ordinance renewing a temporary moratorium on land divisions and certain land use decisions in the Longacres TOD planning area. Since passage of the moratorium: • A series of workshops and stakeholder meetings have been initiated. The consultant team, based on workshop results, is preparing a future land use scenarios for the TOD and TUC areas. Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director To date, Council has adopted two six -month moratoriums on the acceptance of applications for certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for transit- oriented development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail /Amtrak station at Longacres (see Figure 1). The first Ordinance (No. 1996) was adopted in September 2002. When it expired in March, 2003, Council adopted Ordinance No. 2014, allowing more interim use of properties during this planning period, while maintaining a moratorium on activities and uses that would have significant long -term impacts on the ability to successfully develop a TOD. Ordinance No. 2014 will expire August 30, 2003. Planning for the TOD area is underway, and there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a master plan for the area is in place. CAP authorized staff to forward the proposed ordinance to Council for a public hearing at their COW meeting on August 11, 2003. Notice for the public hearing on the moratorium was provided. In addition, individual letters were sent to affected property owners and businesses notifying them of the scheduled hearing. Attached is a copy of the proposed ordinance. In the fall of 2002, the City received a $1.5 million federal grant to: • prepare a TOD master plan for the Longacres area, identifying land use, urban design and transportation/circulation objectives • complete the Tukwila urban center (TUC) plan and incorporate the TOD plan in the overall plans for the TUC. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206- 431 -3665 • This plan will be folded into the overall Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) plan. The TUC plan and TOD subarea plan are anticipated to be completed and ready for the adoption process early 2004. Provisions of the Ordinance Within the TOD planning area the current ordinance: • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to: - land divisions - such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto - oriented businesses. • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to: - The expansion of existing businesses on existing lots. - Sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements. • Allows the filing of approvals related to: - All other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. Proposed Next Steps 1. Council holds a public hearing on the moratorium at their COW meeting on August 11, 2003. 2. At the next regular meeting on August 18, 2003, Council has the following options: a. Take no action. Current Ordinance No. 2014, establishing a moratorium on development in the TOD, will expire on August 30, 2003. Land divisions, development activities and land uses will be allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of a TOD and other transportation improvements may be more difficult. b. Adopt the proposed ordinance, essentially extending the current moratorium for six months. Council would then revisit the issue in six months (February 2004). Staff Recommendations There is still a need for keeping the existing ordinance in place until a land use /transportation framework is adopted. Staff recommends renewing the ordinance without modifications. Attached is a copy of the ordinance. July 24, 2003 Dear Sir or Madam: City of Tukwila Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director Within the TOD area, the current ordinance: NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to: ■ land divisions ■ such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto - oriented businesses. Steven M. Mullet, Mayor The Tukwila City Council is considering renewing Ordinance No. 2014 establishing a temporary moratorium on certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for Transit- Oriented Development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail /Amtrak station at Longacres (see Figure 1). According to City records, your property or business may be affected by this moratorium. Consequently, we wanted to notify you of the public hearing on this ordinance scheduled for Monday, August 11, 2003, at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, located in Tukwila City Hall, 6200 Southcenter Blvd. The moratorium is intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD are in place. • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to: - The expansion of existing businesses on existing lots. - Sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements. • Allows the filing of approvals related to: All other uses currently allowed under TUC (Tukwila Urban Center) zoning which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. The current Ordinance, No. 2014, expires August 30, 2003. Council must hold a public hearing and decide whether to renew the ordinance or let the moratorium lapse. Planning for the TOD area is underway, and there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a master plan for the area is in place. Staff is recommending renewing the current ordinance without modifications. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206- 431 -3665 For additional information, or to obtain a copy of the proposed ordinance, please contact Lynn Miranda, Senior Planner, or Jack Pace, Deputy Director, at 206.431.3670.

New Half Time Position Since the pool has opened, it has increased greatly in use. That has -I 0 resulted in more hours of maintenance being needed, and it is the aquatic staff who do their own co o maintenance. Bruce also pointed out that both the 50 acre Fort Dent Park and skateboard park w hav been added to park maintenance staff's workload when they have not increased in staff. w 0 Bruce proposed increasing one Facilities Operation Technician position from its current half time status to full time. One quarter of a position would be used for more pool maintenance, and one quarter would be used for more park maintenance. The half time increase would cost $18,000 cn d plus $4,000 in benefits, totaling $23,000. He proposed the increased pool fees and rental fees t— i from Fort Dent's one city field there paying for the increase. So far pool revenues are higher z than originally projected. Jim said if the city has enough staff to do a better job we can perhaps W O charge higher pool fees than the average. The committee agreed the original fee schedule, and 2 one with slightly higher fees be brought to the COW when this position increase is taken there. v N J said since not every department can charge for its services we'll need to look harder where o 5 we can charge for service. Recommend position increase to COW. = w 2. TOD moratorium Steve reminded the committee that the city has passed two six -month 4 " z moratoriums on the TOD area. The second one loosened its applicability and allowed many v u current uses there to expand or change, or change signs. Auto dependent uses, land divisions, and o = manufacturing and industrial uses are under the moratorium. The current moratorium expires August 30` so a new one would be in effect September 1st to the end of February. When asked, Steve said the current businesses largely support the planning effort that is ongoing now. Joan asked how many times a moratorium could be renewed, and was told it isn't limited. Steve said he hoped the TOD study would be finished by the time a new moratorium expired; he thought it would be in process at the Planning Commission or at the Council by then. As meeting time was short, he recommended Lynn Miranda brief the committee on what staff have learned at their workshops and public meetings. Steve pointed out on a map who owned what land in the TOD. A public hearing will be needed, and Steve will brief the Council at the hearing on August 11` Recommend extendin moratorium to COW. 3. Countywide Planning Policies Steve explained the 1990 Growth Management Act set up procedures for adopting countywide planning policies. That was done in 1992, and is being done again now. Ratification by 30% of the cities /county in King County, representing 70% of the county's population, is needed. Steve said the most important policy for Tukwila was the one that changed our housing and job market targets for the next twenty years. When the targets were first set, they relied on PSRC numbers and were higher than could be achieved. The new numbers are more realistic, and consider not only our current size but also our buildable lands available for more development. Our housing target was reduced from 6,000 new units to 3,200. That is living units, and can be houses, apartments, or condo units. Steve said jurisdictions don't need to supply the housing, but they need to have available land and zoning that can accommodate the growth in population. Since our goals were first set in 1992, Tukwila has added about 300 housing units. There will be more capacity if can put housing in the TVC and TOD. Jim noted that replacing old apartments with newer and larger ones could add housing. Tukwila is also expected to add 16,000 new jobs in 20 years. There are not penalties for not meeting your goals. Joan said she talked to people at Tukwila Days who said they moved here for Tukwila's rural feel, which people are afraid they'll lose with too much infill. Our new comp plan will need to show how to increase our housing stock. Steve and the committee briefly reviewed the other policies, which have little effect on us. Recommend policies to COW. O c" . Committee chair approval CITY OF TUKWILA INTER - OFFICE MEMO z w FROM: Steve Lancaster f \ �' 0 t 0 U o • W J F - DATE: July 10, 2003 w 0 BACKGROUND • d = w z � I--0 z t- TO: Community Affairs and Parks Committee SUBJECT: Ratification of 2003 Countywide Planning Policy amendments The 1990 Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that King County and the cities within the county work together to adopt countywide planning policies, which serve to guide and coordinate the development of local comprehensive plans. The Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) comprised of representatives of King County, the cities and special districts was formed in 1990 to develop such countywide planning policies. The original Countywide Planning Policies for King County (CPPs) were adopted in July 1992. These policies are periodically reviewed and revised in response either to changing conditions or requirements of growth management law. w no U O -. o 1 w I z w co The GMPC develops proposed countywide planning policies or amendments to the policies, and � r ecommends them to the King County Council. Policies adopted by the County Council become z effective only if ratified by at least 30% of the city and county governments in King County, representing at least 70% of the county's population. Jurisdictions failing to act within 90 days of County Council action are deemed to have ratified the policies or amendments. The 90 -day period for the 2003 CPP amendments described below expires on August 28. 2003 CPP AMENDMENTS King County Ordinance No. 14652 adopts GMPC Motion No. 02 -04, adding new policy support to ongoing water supply planning and development. King County Ordinance No. 14653 adopts three CPP amendments relating to revised housing and employment targets (GMPC Motions No. 02 -01, 02 -02 and 02 -03). King County Ordinance No. 14654 adopts GMPC Motion 02 -05, amending the CPP's "Urban Separator Map" to reflect a negotiated modification to the Renton Urban Separator. King County Ordinance No. 14655 adopts GMPC Motion 02 -06, amending the CPPs to designate the Totem Lake area in Kirkland as an "Urban Center." Finally, King County Ordinance No. 14656 adopts GMPC Motion 01 -2, amending the CPPs to add new policies addressing long -term governance of Agricultural Production Districts. These amendments are more fully described below. \ \TUK2 \VOL3 \HOME \STEVE -L \STEVE \GMA \CPP \CAP 2003 ratification.doc // Page Water Supply Planning and Development (King County Ordinance No. 14652) The issue of regional water supply was raised during discussions related to the adoption of new housing and employment targets (see below). The proposed new policy was offered in the spirit Z of ensuring ongoing infrastructure planning efforts. The proposed new policy reads: < z � w FW -12c Ensuring sufficient water supply is essential to accommodate growth and conserve fish habitat. Due to the substantial lead -time required to develop water 6= o supply sources, infrastructure and management strategies, long-term water supply u) W planning efforts in the Region must be ongoing. w 1 t nu. Staff Recommendation — City Council ratification of King County Ordinance No. 14652 ul 0 Housing and Employment Targets (King County Ordinance No.14653) 12 a In February 2002 the Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM) released new F- i population forecasts for the 20 -year period 2002 -2022. GMA requires King County and the Z F- cities to plan to accommodate these updated projections. The GMPC is responsible for w I- developing updated housing and employment targets for each jurisdiction in King County, and 2 D the aggregate of the housing targets must be consistent with OFM's population forecast. o N 0H GMPC's interjurisdictional staff worked with a subcommittee of the King County Planning = w Directors to extend the previous 1992 -2012 targets through 2022. Development of the updated 1— i targets was done on a county sub - region basis in order to further the goal of jobs /housing - o Z balance. Cu co H = King County Ordinance No. 14643 approves three related GMPC motions. Motion No. 02 -01 z (see Attachment B.2) does the following: • Specifies the process for allocating targets in King County. • Makes clear the importance of federal, state, regional and local transportation investments in achieving growth targets. • States it is the responsibility of each jurisdiction to plan for and accommodate the housing and employment targets, but recognizes that the targets do not obligate jurisdictions to zuarantee that the targets will be met. • Provides for target adjustments when annexations occur. Motion No. 02 -02 adopts the specific household growth targets for each jurisdiction (see Attachment B.3). The new household targets represent the most significant aspect of the 2003 Countywide Planning Policy amendments from Tukwila's perspective. Under the amendments, Tukwila's 2022 household target (3200) is actually lower than our previous 2012 target (4761- 6014). The new target is much more realistic in light of our current zoning and other development constraints. \ \TUK2 \VOL3\HOME \STEVE -I. \STEVE \GMA \CPP \CAP 2003 ratification.doc Page ! v Motion No. 02 -03 adopts specific employment growth targets for each jurisdiction (see Attachment B.4). The new employment targets for 2022 are 16,000, compared to our previous 2012 target of 22,500. The most significant factor in this reduction is the dramatic change in Boeing expansion plans for the Duwamish industrial area. Staff Recommendation — City Council ratification of King County Ordinance No. 14653 Renton Urban Separator (King County Ordinance No. 14654) Urban Separators are low - density areas or areas of little development within the Urban Growth Area. They are intended to protect adjacent resource lands, Rural Areas and environmentally sensitive areas and create open space corridors within and between Urban Areas. Renton did not agree with the Urban Separator designation for 76 acres of unincorporated urban land within their Potential Annexation Area (PAA), citing lack of environmental constraints. Renton identified 119 acres within the city limits that they felt would be a more appropriate Urban Separator. GMPC Motion No. 02 -05 approves Renton's proposal to remove the designation from the unincorporated 76 acre area and designate the 119 acre area as an Urban Separator instead (see Attachment C.2). Staff Recommendation — City Council ratification of King County Ordinance No. 14654 Urban Center designation for Totem Lake (King County Ordinance No. 14655) In January 2002 the Kirkland City Council adopted a new plan for the Totem Lake area, and requested that the area be designated as an Urban Center in the Countywide Planning Policies. Totem Lake, which is located in the northeast corner of Kirkland, encompasses about one square mile and includes residential, office, retail, light industrial and institutional uses. The GMPC interjurisdictional staff team reviewed Kirkland's request against the CPP criteria governing urban centers, and concluded the designation would be appropriate. GMPC Motion No. 02 -06 approves this proposal (see Attachment D.2). Staff Recommendation — City Council ratification of King County Ordinance No. 14655 Governance of Agricultural Protection Districts (King County Ordinance No. 14656) The Countywide Planning Policies prohibit urban development of designated agricultural lands. The amendments proposed by GMPC Motion No. 01 -2 (see Attachment E -3) modify this general policy direction by: • Prohibiting the annexation of designated Agricultural Protection Districts (APDs) by cities. • Specifically identifying the Lower Green River Valley Agricultural Protection District (lying between Auburn and Kent) as a regionally designated resource, and allowing King County to contract with adjacent jurisdictions for provision of local services to the area. \ \TUK2 \VOL3 \HOME \STEVE -L \STEVE \GMA \CPP \CAP 2003 ratification.doc POTa Page /3 • • Amending the CPP's Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Map so that the Lower Green APD is not included in any city's PAA. • Amending the CPP's Urban Growth Area Map to remove the Lower Green APD from the designated Urban Area. The cities of Auburn and Kent are most directly affected by these proposed amendments. The city of Auburn supports the proposed amendments. The City of Kent has not taken a position as of this date. Staff Recommendation — No recommendation at this point. Staff will continue to coordinate with the City of Kent and inform the City Council of Kent's position when it is known. RECOMMENDATION Forward the proposed 2003 Countywide Planning Policy Amendments to the Committee of the Whole for consideration. \ \TUK2 \VOL3\HOME \STEVE -L \STEVE \GMA \CPP \CAP 2003 ratification.doc Page.

All cities are included in the UGA, with the cities in the Rural Area identified as islands of urban growth. The (flan - Growth -Area) UGA is a permanent designation. Land outside the ( ) UGA is designated for permanent rural and resource uses.(( - - - : )) Countywide Policies on Rural and Resource Areas are found in Chapter IIIA, Resource Lands, and Chapter 11113, Rural Areas. In accordance with the State Growth Management Act (GMA) (36.70A.110), the State Office of Financial Management (OFM) provides a population projection to each count The county, through a collaborative intergovernmental process established by the Growth Management Planning Council, allocates the population as growth targets to individual jurisdictions. Forecasts prepared by the Puget Sound Regional Council are used to establish the employment projection. The process for allocating targets in King County is as follows: 1. The PSRC employment forecasts are calculated for the four geographic subareas of the UGA (Sea- Shore, South, East, and Rural Cities). These then become subarea employment targets. 2. The jurisdictions collectively allocate the OFM population projection to thefour subarea's based on the projected employment for each area. A small amount of growth is assumed to occur in the Rural area. 3. The technical staff translates the population projections into projected households, taking into account different average household sizes within each subarea. These projections then become subarea household targets. 4. Jurisdictions within each subarea negotiate the distribution of subarea household and employment targets using criteria based on Countywide Planni Policies. The housing capacity in the (( )) UGA ((or growth)), based on adopted plans and regulations, ((meets-the)) should accommodate the projected•20 -year growth(( • population-fereeaste)). (( ))Growth is to be accommodated within permanent Urban Areas by increasing densities, as needed. Phasing ((is4o)) should occur within the (( )) UGA, as necessary, to ensure that services are provided as growth occurs. ((All cities arc to be wt FW -11 )) The land use pattern for King County shall protect the natural environment by reducing the consumption of land and concentrating development. An. Urban Growth Area, Rural Areas, and resource lands shall be designated and the necessary implementing regulations adopted. This includes Countywide establishment of a boundary for the Urban Growth Area. Local jurisdictions shall make land use decisions based on the Countywide Planning Policies.

Policies to phase the provision of urban services and to ensure efficient use of the growth capacity within the Urban Growth Area shall be instituted. FW -12a All jurisdictions within King County share the responsibility to accommodate the 20 -year population projection. The growth projection shall be assigned to the four subareas of King County (Sea- Shore, East, South, and the Rural Cities) proportionate with the share of projected employment growth. The growth shall be allocated pursuant to the following objectives: a. To ensure efficient use of land within the UGA by directing growth to Urban Centers and Activity Centers., b. To limit development in the Rural Areas; c. To protect designated resource lands; d. To ensure efficient use of infrastructure; e. To improve the lobs /housing balance on a subarea basis f. To promote a land use pattern that can be served by public transportation and other alternatives to the single occupancy vehicle; and g. To provide sufficient opportunities for growth within the jurisdictions. FW -12b The growth targets established pursuant to the methodology described in LU -25c and 25d shall be supported by both regional and local transportation investments. The availability of an adequate transportation system is critically important to accommodating growth. The regional responsibility shall be met by planning for and delivering county, state, and federal investments that support the growth targets and the land use pattern of the County. This includes investments in transit, state highways in key regional transportation corridors, and in improved access to the designated Urban Centers. The local responsibility shall be met by local transportation system investments that support the achievement of the targets. LU — 25a Each jurisdiction shall plan for and accommodate the household and employment targets established pursuant to LU -25c and LU -25d. This obligation includes: a. Ensuring adequate zoning capacity; and b. Planning for and delivering water, sewer, transportation and other infrastructure, in concert with federal and state investments and recognizing where applicable special purpose districts; and c. Accommodating increases in household and employment targets as annexations occur. The targets will be used to plan for and to accommodate growth within each jurisdiction. The targets do not obligate a jurisdiction to guarantee that a given number of housing units will be built or lobs added during the planning period.

I would like you to consider a short-term proposal that will provide immediate help. I am requesting to increase our half -time Facilities Operation Technician (pool operator) to full time. The increased hours will enable this position to properly take care of the pool needs including mechanical maintenance, custodial operations and general facility maintenance. The surprising success of the Tukwila Pool continues to increase the maintenance workload. This proposal will increase the aquatic duties to three- quarter time and add one - quarter time to parks maintenance. I am looking for some immediate relief in the Parks Division with the addition of Fort Dent Park, the Skate Park and the pool grounds. Fort Dent Park alone has added approximately 50 hours per week of grounds and trail maintenance. Our pool management direction has been to increase programs, hours and revenue. We have projected our revenues to come in at over $175,000 (our original budget projections were $160,000). We are also looking at increased pool fees that would pay for our increased staff hours. Lastly, the "city field" at Fort Dent Park is another added revenue source that can help fund this increased position. I know that our City has been deeply affected by the slow economy, and I know that any increase in positions is a very hot topic of discussion. I also admit that I fully supported taking over both these county assets, because it was and is the right thing to do for Tukwila. I was adamant that we negotiate a minimum of $50,000 annually from the County to help offset some of our increased staffing levels, but King County denied my request. Because this proposal will pay for the increase, I am hopeful that you will consider my request. cc: Rhonda Berry Alan Doerschel MEMORANDUM Mayor Mullet Community Affairs and Parks Committee Bruce Fletcher July 10, 2003 Pool /Parks Position J Provisions of the Ordinance Background City of Tukwila Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director TO: From: Steve Lancaster, Director Date: July 1, 2003 Community Affairs and Parks Committee Members Steven M.

Subject: Renewing the current moratorium on certain land divisions and development activities within the transit oriented development (TOD) planning area To date, Council has adopted two six -month moratoriums on the acceptance of applications for certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for transit- oriented development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail/Amtrak station at Longacres (see Figure 1). The first Ordinance (No. 1996) was adopted in September 2002. When it expired in March, 2003, Council adopted Ordinance No. 2014, allowing more interim use of properties during this planning period, while maintaining a moratorium on activities and uses that would have significant long -term impacts on the ability to successfully develop a TOD. Within the TOD planning area the current ordinance: • Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to: - land divisions - such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto - oriented businesses. • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to: - The expansion of existing businesses on existing lots. - Sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements. • Allows the filing of approvals related to: - All other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 - 3665 :^SVi ]V( 1RT rtY'Yt ., .•n"H'x,'Ki4Y.m »�. • I!iFriY1 z w Update on the TOD Plan In the fall of 2002, the City received a $1.5 million federal grant to prepare a TOD master plan for the Longacres area, identifying land use, urban design and transportation/circulation objectives.

Z w 0 0~ z In the fall of 2002, the City received a $1.5 million federal grant to prepare a TOD master plan for the Longacres area, identifying land use, urban design and transportation/circulation objectives. These grant funds will also be used to complete the Tukwila urban center (TUC) plan and incorporate the TOD plan in the overall plans for the TUC. Since passage of the moratorium: • Contracts /scope of work are being prepared by Freedman Tung & Bottomley for land use /design services on the TOD/TUC project, and with ECONorthwest for financial feasibility and analysis services. These contracts will go before Council for approval in February/March 2003. These will be funded by the $1.5 million federal grant for TOD planning. • A series of workshops and stakeholder meetings will soon follow, including Boeing, Metro, Sound Transit, WSDOT, and local property owners and businesses. The consultant team, based on workshop results, will prepare a range of alternative land use and capital improvement scenarios for the TOD area. • These alternatives will be folded into the overall Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) plan.

This focuses on ensuring the viability of existing businesses. Proposed Ordinance The timing, type and extent of a TOD project is highly dependent upon the construction of local and regional transportation improvements in the area. Six months ago, funding for the I -405 expansion and the Strander Blvd extension project (and associated relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad line) seemed attainable, with construction anticipated to be completed within a 5 to 10 year timeframe. Thus, Staff recommended a conservative approach towards restricting land uses and retaining land available for a TOD project. Given the current funding scenario, it is now estimated at 10 to 15 years before the transportation improvements necessary to implement a successful TOD project will be constructed. Given this longer time frame, Staff is recommending modifying the moratorium to achieve the following during the planning period: • allow more flexible use of properties • ensure the viability and health of existing businesses • maintain the larger tracts of vacant land Table 1. Changes incorporated into the Proposed Ordinance There are no other substantive differences between the existing ordinance and the proposed ordinance. Both ordinances: • Prohibit the filing of all permits and approvals within the TOD planning area related to land divisions. • Exempt from the moratorium the filing of and approvals for sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements. Proposed Next Steps 1. Council holds a public hearing on the moratorium at their COW meeting on February 24, 2003. 2. At the Council's next regular meeting on March 3, 2003: a. Council takes no action. Current Ordinance No. 1996, establishing a moratorium on development in the TOD, will expire on March 16, 2003. Land divisions, development activities and land uses will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of a TOD and other transportation improvements may be more difficult. b. Council adopts the proposed ordinance, and allows Ordinance No. 1996 to expire. Council revisits the moratorium in six months (August, 2003). nee,; m_+ ;.afi!!r?�2�+?av«7rtsAt Dept.

Also the resolution acknowledges a� new Administrative Services Agreement with Hartford Life Insurance Company, and an amended Group Annuity Contract. Please put these items on the Finance and Safety Committee Agenda for Tuesday February 18, 2003. The resolution has 3 documents attached, an amended Plan Document, a signed Administrative Services agreement, and an amended Group Annuity Contract. Listed below is a summary of the items that have been or need to be accomplished: A new Administrative Services Agreement with Hartford Life Insurance Company has been signed and executed in November of 2002. EGTRRA required certain changes to our group annuity contract. Also, effective October 2002 Hartford added enhancements to our plan, new fund options and reduced some of the fees. We have received an amended Group Annuity Contract from Hartford. No further action is required however I recommend we acknowledge the new contract in the resolution and attached it. After EGTRRA was passed, several changes happened to our plan. IRS published Revenue Procedure 2002-29, which requires that qualified plans must be amended to conform to the final regulations by the close of the 2003 plan year. The amended plan document references different effective dates for some of the provisions. I am recommending that the City incorporate all of the plan changes into a new Plan Document and adopt the amended Plan by Resolution. I received a specimen plan document from Hartford along with the amendments and created a new revised plan document. A draft copy is attached. The major changes are summarized below: • Amending the Contribution Limits including the Pre - Retirement Catch -Up • Adding an Age 50+ Catch -up Provision • Redefining "Includible Compensation" within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(3) ".#l^1MM1xMpY M b ' i`.!Rp .. t t 'ia L'L..Rf.!1.

February 12, 2003 Dear Sir or Madam: city of Tukwila Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING On September 16, 2002, Tukwila's City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1996, establishing a six -month moratorium on acceptance of applications for certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for transit- oriented development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail/Amtrak station at Longacres (see Figure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at Longacres are in place. The moratorium will expire on March 16, 2003. A new ordinance is proposed to extend the moratorium for an additional six - months, while relaxing some of the restrictions currently in place. A public hearing on the proposed ordinance is scheduled for Monday, February 24, 2003, at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, located in Tukwila City Hall. Table 1 identifies changes to be incorporated into the proposed ordinance. These are intended to achieve the following during the TOD planning period: • allow more flexible use of properties • ensure the viability and health of existing businesses • preserve the larger tracts of developable land Table 1. Changes to be incorporated into the proposed ordinance Steven M.

Both ordinances: • Prohibit the filing of all permits and approvals within the TOD planning area related to land divisions. • Exempt from the moratorium the filing of and approvals for sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements. • Continue to allow a very broad range of permitted and conditionally permitted land uses and development activities. According to City records, your property or business may be affected by this moratorium. Consequently, we wanted notify you of the public hearing on this ordinance and the proposed modifications scheduled for Monday, February 24, 2003, at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, located in Tukwila City Hall, 6200 Southcenter Blvd. For additional information, or to obtain a copy of the proposed ordinance, please contact Nora Gierloff, Planning Supervisor, at 206.431.3670. .rd1:. =`i ; ts7:: i',: ys�! w. 2Gi ;:�1f;L5.�..:'t.,:�:t3u:..,�..7 •::1 ' ' . 41.4.314+%; rt :.= ..w,...,...i.a....w...

Comp Plan Amendments for 2003 There are three comp plan amendments that z have been submitted for consideration this year. The first is a staff request to review IF: offices in MIC /H that was the subject of the earlier issue on the agenda. The second is :CC w to revise the Sensitive Areas ordinance to include the Best Available Science and perhaps shoreline issues. There is no clear definition for Best Available Science. When o Joan asked about it, Steve said it requires staff to show their research and to review the CD ° L literature on each issue. The last issue is a citizen request for a rezone of property from W LDR to Office. The Council will be briefed on these issues March 3` and a public w w 0 hearing will be March 17 Recommend briefing to Council. 2 Q 4. Moratorium Review There has been a moratorium on development of the Transit � CO Oriented Development (TOD) site near Longacres since September, 2002. A study of z W the area is about to begin, and the findings from that will go into the larger Tukwila z = Urban Center plan. Because the city had thought transportation improvements that o I-. would ensure the viability of the TOD would happen fairly soon, the moratorium was to w in preclude uses in the near term. However, those improvements are not likely to be done m o soon, so staff recommends allowing some uses of the property, including trailer or car o 5 parking and sales, contractor storage, and expansion of existing businesses. The idea w is to have uses that won't warrant buildings that would be hard to remove if the area 0 were ready for redevelopment. This would require a limited moratorium, with certain o allowed uses. Recommend to Public Hearing Feb 24 at the COW. w z U 5. Fourth Quarter Reports Pam had a question, and it was about Codiga. Bruce said o I- Mr. Codiga is somewhat confused, and thinks he still owns the property that the city had z bought from him several years ago. The barn needs to come down, but before that happens the city needs to deal with the dozens of feral cats living in the barn. Joan wanted Jim to have a chance to ask questions about the reports, so it should be included next meeting if he has questions. Information. 6. Starfire The committee had a copy of the initial agreement items the city wants to • reach with Starfire. Their copy was easy to understand; the attorneys will work on it tomorrow to ensure it has the legal wherewithal to withstand scrutiny. David St Pierre will work on it from the city; Steve DeJulio will work on it for Starfire. Starfire plans to build three new lighted outdoor soccer fields and two indoor lighted fields. The three turf fields to the west won't be done in the first phase, so will remain as is. The new fields will have very good new artificial turf that lets rain through, among other attributes. There will be some leftover re -use water that Fort Dent used when it was all grass. There will be a concessionaire, and the City will be allowed to use the park for the 4 " of July. The project will have a 40 -year lease. The new fields will allow the advanced players to use them, and could result in some hotel room rentals for Tukwila. As Starfire is working to get charitable non - profit status, they won't be required to pay an admissions tax. Recommend agreement to Regular Meeting for adoption. A I. BACKGROUND City of Tukwila Steven M. 'Wallet, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director MEMORANDUM TO: Community Affairs and Parks Corr mittee FROM: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director�I RE: MIC /H study DATE: February 6, 2003 The Council asked staff to find out answers to some questions regarding the changing shape of industry; the viability of industrial retention and expansion; and the importance of Tukwila's . industrial land base to the city and regional economy. The Council wanted to study this issue to decide whether office and similar non - industrial uses be allowed as stand alone uses in the Heavy Manufacturing Industrial Center (MIC/H) zone. Currently, offices in the MIC /H zone must be associated with another permitted use rather than being permitted outright. Tukwila's Manufacturing Industrial Center is an important regional center of industrial activity. It is one of the four regional centers of industrial activity designated in the King County's County Wide Planning Policies. This designation reflects the corridor's long history of industrial uses and its current importance in the regional economy. It is well served by the regional transportation system and existing utility infrastructure. Since 1995, over 370 building permits have been completed in the MIC area. The total valuation of these permits exceeds $100,000,000. In 1998 the city of Tukwila did a comprehensive environmental review and adopted the "planned action" option for SEPA review in an effort to streamline the environmental review of any future development proposals. Since the adoption of the Planned Action ordinance there have been 32 SEPA reviews that were determined to be planned action. Some of the major projects that were reviewed as planned action include Wind Tunnel for Boeing and Museum of Flight addition. In 2000, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code was amended to allow office use less than 20,000 square feet as a permitted use in the MIC /L (Manufacturing Industrial Center /Light) district. Office use over 20,000 square feet was allowed as a conditional use in order to address traffic impacts and access any mitigation due to the proximity to the residential neighborhoods. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite 4100 • 'Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206- 431-.3070 • Fax: 20o- 431 -36oS Seattle Redmond Kent Seattle has four industrial classifications - There are Business Park Kent has three main General Industrial- 1(IG1), General (BP), Manufacturing Park industrial districts - Industrial-2 (IG2), Industrial buffer (IB) and (MP), Industry zone (I) and Industrial Park District that Industrial Commercial (IC).

H. COUNTY WIDE PLANNING POLICIES AND COMPARISON WITH OTHER THREE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIAL CENTERS IN THE REGION. The King County's County Wide Planning Policies confirmed the following manufacturing industrial centers: North Tukwila, Duwamish and Ballard/Interbay in Seattle, the Kent Industrial Area and Redmond Overlake. The Countywide Planning Policies (CPP) require local jurisdictions to adopt in their Comprehensive Plans a definition of the Manufacturing /Industrial Center, which specifies the exact geographic boundaries of the Center. Also the jurisdictions are required to have zoning and detailed plans in place that achieve the following goals: a) Preserve and encourage the aggregation of vacant or non - manufacturing /industrial land parcels sized for manufacturing /industrial uses; b) Discourage land uses which are not compatible with manufacturing, industrial and advanced technology uses; c) Accommodate a minimum of 10,000 jobs; and d) Limit the size of offices and retail unless as an accessory use. (CPP # LU -52) The following table is an overview of how other designated industrial centers address different uses: III. PUGET SOUNG REGIONAL COUNCIL'S NEW DESIGNATION CRITERIA FOR MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIAL CENTERS. Growth Management Policy Board (GMPB) has released new draft criteria for public comment that will be applicable to Manufacturing /Industrial Centers. GMPB will make a final recommendation to Regional Council's Executive Board who will then take final action on the new criteria in winter or spring 2003. It was decided that GMPB and Executive Boards should review and approve Manufacturing /Industrial Center designations. Although VISION 2020 describes the characteristics and roles of regional Manufacturing /Industrial centers, it does not contain thresholds or standards for activity levels within them. The new proposed criteria has the activity and employment thresholds. Following are some highlights of the proposed new criteria: a) Required activity levels - employment thresholds: minimum existing employment level of 10,000 jobs and minimum employment target of at least 20,000 jobs. (In 2000 Tukwila MIC had 11,881 jobs). b) Commitment to preservation of an urban industrial land base that shall include the following requirements: i) 80% of property within MIC must have planned future land use and current zoning designation for industrial and manufacturing uses. ii) Protection from incompatible land uses. iii) Regulations and plans to preserve and encourage the aggregation of vacant or non - manufacturing or industrial land parcels for manufacturing /industrial uses. IV. CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE POLICIES The City's current Comprehensive Plan Policies clearly state that uses that are commonly associated with manufacturing and industry, including those directly supporting such activity such as offices and laboratories shall be allowed, while uses unrelated to manufacturing and industry shall be prohibited. V. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ECONOMIC ANALYSIS The staff asked EcoNorthwest, Market Analyses firm to look at demand and supply factors related to industrial land and give an assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of maintaining the industrial zoning. A complete report prepared by EcoNorthwest is attached to this memo and following are some key findings of the report • Industrial uses are similar to export companies that bring new revenues into the region as opposed to shifting resources within the region more typified by office uses. This introduces non -local spending into the economy as goods are sold outside the region. Such spending has higher multiplier effect on local employment and income than spending created by diverting spending from one area to another internally to the region. Tukwila already has a substantial commercial base in the Tukwila Urban Center area. • If the price of land is perceived as low then demand for industrial land will be high. If price rises substantially primarily because of assessment of developers and businesses that alternative uses (e.g. 3 commercial) will yield a greater return than industrial uses then demand for industrial land decreases. • There will be some growth in employment in industrial sector but how much is a question. Some form of manufacturing will remain an important aspect of the economic base of the region. Demand in Tukwila will remain strong, even with decreases in the forecasted share of industrial employment region wide. Given scarcity of suitable industrial sites in King County and characteristics of Tukwila's industrial areas strong demand should exist for development of Tukwila's available industrial parcels. • PSRC forecasts employment growth in the industrial sector. EcoNW believes there will be growth in industrial employment provided among other things, land with suitable attributes (location and price) is available. But again availability is ultimately a matter of price. In the absence of zoning restrictions service sectors will cause a shift of industrial land toward non - industrial uses. • The general conclusion about how much industrial land does the city need is that the industrial land must accommodate most job growth in industrial sectors and some in non - industrial sectors. • To some degree sites can be maintained in a flexible configurable manner so that sites can be converted, as the market requires, among service and manufacturing functions. There is a limit to the extent that this can be done without creating setting with incompatible uses. When this happens sites become less attractive to both manufacturing and non - manufacturing uses. • MIC/H would continue to serve a valuable role for future needs of industrial users. Allowing office only as an accessory use will reduce conversion of higher value office space from squeezing out traditional industrial uses. • City should protect industrial land while allowing flexibility to go with the changes in industries. Changes in manufacturing activity include increasing percentage of workers at desks than at assembly lines. Zoning should be more performance based, rather than defined by intensity of land use. The zoning should continue to accommodate those basic industries that generate effects such as noise, smell etc. that are not accepted elsewhere in the City. VI. OTHER FINDINGS AND IMPLICATIONS • If office is allowed as a stand -alone use we will need to reevaluate the environmental work - EIS and Planned Action. The impacts of future office construction were not considered and mitigated at that time. If other non - industrial uses were permitted, there would be potential traffic issues with industrial traffic mixing with office traffic. Also, transportation mitigation would need to be reevaluated. • With the current vacancy rates for office development due to slow down in the economy, it is unlikely there will be an immediate demand for office development in the industrial area. As stated in the market analysis report allowing office in the MIC /H may artificially inflate the price of industrial land. This may deter industrial development due to higher land prices. As a result city may get neither office nor industrial development. 4 • If office use is allowed as a stand alone use in the MIC /H zone, the type of office development that the city may get in the NIIC /H zone will be different than the type of office development in TUC and Tukwila International Boulevard area. It is likely that if the City allowed stand alone office use in the NIIC /H area it will get larger scale office than the typical office building with suites that are used by small office companies. • Higher clean up standards apply to non - industrial uses under the Model Toxic Cleanup Act. Also, in the past the Duwamish Coalition as part of the Brownfield Cleanup has made long standing attempt with Department of Ecology to lower the standards of cleanup for industrial uses in the area. The Department of Ecology has not agreed to lower any standards so far. If non - industrial uses are allowed the chances of getting lower standards is further diminished. VII. POLICY OPTIONS AND NEXT STEP There are three policy options for the Council: A. Do not allow office as a stand -alone use in the MIC /H zone but only as an accessory use to other allowed uses. B. Allow all existing office development to be continued to be used for office use. This would allow offices that are currently accessory to other permitted uses to be used as stand alone offices. C. Allow some office use but limit the size and list it as a conditional use to address traffic mitigation. No change is required to the County Wide Planning Policies. It will require Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code amendments. D. Allow office use as outright permitted but limit the size to 100,000 square feet. E. Allow office use as outright permitted use with no size or other restrictions. This would entail withdrawing Manufacturing Industrial Center designation from the Countywide Planning Policies. It will require Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code amendments. In the light of the market analysis by EcoNorthwest and other findings and implications discussed above staff recommends a combination of option B and D. If the Council chooses to make changes to the existing policies and allow other non - industrial uses in the MIC/H zone, it will require updating the City's Comprehensive Plan and adopting new zoning code amendments. It may also result in a loss of status as a manufacturing /industrial center under the County Wide Planning Policies and under Vision 2020. If the decision is made to further pursue the path to make amendments then it needs to be decided whether to consider them during the 2004 GMA update to the Comprehensive Plan or as part of 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendment process.

C: Market Analysis by EcoNW } File: L03 -0003 35mm Drawing #1 -2 tc \;14.4i.'b.:i: 'Z Section 1 1.1 BACKGROUND The City of Tukwila is preparing for the possibility that large amounts of industrial land in North Tukwila currently owned by Boeing may come on the market if Boeing downsizes. The City asked ECONorthwest for advice on how to respond if either buyers or sellers of that property make the case that it should be rezoned to allow non - industrial uses. In particular, the City seeks an answer to the question: "Should the City preserve the industrial zoning and the land for industrial use, or should it rezone the land ?" To that end, the City hired ECONorthwest to look at demand and supply factors related to industrial land, and give an assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of maintaining the industrial zoning. 1.2 METHODS Both the City and ECO acknowledge that this area of research could warrant a study well beyond the scope of this project. For example, a detailed analysis of the importance of the industrial land in Tukwila could benefit from a careful inventory of the amount, attributes, and price of industrial land throughout the entire Puget Sound region. This study could not conduct that analysis. Instead, it relies on existing data and synthesizes from various sources (data sets, reports, interviews) to create an understandable overview of demand and supply conditions for industrial land. 1.3 ORGANIZATION The rest of this report examines the demand and supply for industrial land. National trends are discussed, along with the relevance of the national trends to Tukwila's zoning. The discussion regarding demand for industrial land begins with defining industrial land and identifying the users of industrial land. It discusses the national and regional trends in industrial employment, and the changing nature of the demand for industrial lands. The supply for industrial lands within the central Puget Sound region is summarized next, along with infrastructure issues that affect the suitability of existing industrially zoned lands for industrial uses. Finally, the supply of land in Tukwila's industrially zoned areas is discussed and examined in terms of factors that affect the future supply and demand for Tukwila's industrial lands.

What is commonly referred to as "industrial" land is land designated by a local government (in its Comprehensive Plan, implemented by its = H zoning ordinances) to allow (but not necessarily require) industrial uses. w These industrial uses are described below. 6 J U The land is designated industrial because it meets the needs of the co 0 industrial users. These needs include: proximity to transportation routes w w (interstate roadways, rail, water ports, airports), relatively low -cost land 1- (to accommodate the relatively large land needs of many industries), and w O a location that reduces conflict with other uses. u . 2.2 WHO USES INDUSTRIAL LAND? d F... w Industrial uses are usually identified as a collection of sectors from. z F the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system: z O • Manufacturing 0 p U O N O H W • w . 1- z w U = O ~ • Transportation, Communication and Utilities • Wholesale Trade • Mining and Construction These sectors share some basic characteristics. First, they are often referred to as "traded" or "basic" sectors, which tend to be export - oriented and involved in direct creation of physical goods. (But note that this distinction has always been fuzzy and is getting blurrier in today's economy. Many businesses in the Services sector are export- oriented: e.g., business services and tourism). Second, they generally have the same building and land needs and site requirements. They cannot typically locate in high -rise office space or in storefront retail space, or in converted homes. This limitation is in part related to possible external effects that can make them unattractive neighbors; they can be noisy, dirty, smelly, or ugly. (But note that many industrial uses can have fewer external impacts than businesses in other sectors: e.g., on traffic). The limitation also relates to their general need for cheap land and proximity to transportation routes. There are two important points with regard to the relationship between industrial land and these "industrial" sectors. • Not all jobs in "industrial" sectors use industrially- designated land. For example, a head office of a manufacturing company is likely to be in a downtown office /commercial zone rather than in an industrial part of a city. Another example is that some firms in the ECONorthwest January 2002 Industrial Land in North Tukwila l Lame''. L'.: �F� .L.ia.4.'r'?::.,.;.`t:S,cfxki." '�Fu. ,ig .f ..l itA t z Figure 1 shows this relationship between "industrial" jobs and "industrial" land, and why studies of industrial land like this one are tricky. On the "Land" side, our analysis is concerned with only land designated industrial, and is concerned with both vacant and developed industrial land. On the "Employment" side, the study cannot limit itself to industrial SICs: non - industrial users use industrial land. It also cannot limit itself to a subset of businesses that in some sense "need" industrial land, because many businesses that fail to meet whatever need criteria we might develop will still be users of industrial land. Figure 1. How industrial and non - industrial businesses use industrial land acant • Not all industrially- designated land is used by "industrial" sectors. Some businesses that are referred to by the SIC system as "services" need industrial land (for example, auto repair) because they share the same need for a location where land is cheap and where their activity is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, non - industrial uses that don't necessarily require the characteristics of industrial land (low price, access to transportation, etc.) may nevertheless locate there if (1) they are not prohibited from doing so, and (2) the market conditions allow them to out -bid industrial uses. For example, services may locate in an industrial area to serve food and other convenience needs of industrial workers. Residential uses may also find an industrial area attractive if the environmental effects of industry are not too deleterious and the location is convenient for residential living. Most significantly, given the focus of this study, professional offices and other commercial uses may locate on industrial land because they can out -bid industrial uses. This is the City of Tukwila's concern: that large amounts of industrial land will convert to non - industrial uses. Industria Industrial Land in North Tukwila industrial sectors are allowed to locate in general commercial or mixed -use zones and may do so.

Our general conclusion, described in the text above and illustrated in Figure 1, is that industrial land must accommodate most job growth in "industrial" sectors. It must also accommodate some job growth in "non- industrial" sectors. The analysis later in this memorandum attempts to quantify that general conclusion. 2.3 THE ROLE OF INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY IN AN ECONOMY Industrial activity generally involves the manufacturing or handling of goods for consumers or other industry. In economic parlance, industrial activity is termed "goods producing" industry. Its activity is generally considered a "high value added" activity, because relatively low -value inputs are used to create goods that have high market value. A service industry, by way of contrast, tends mainly to sell transformed labor services. Hence, the value of the service is largely linked directly to the value of the labor inputs. There is value added, of course, but this value added often is lower than in a good producing setting. There are exceptions. Service sectors that use highly trained human capital may have high productivity and high value added. In addition, as technology increases the productivity of physical capital, less manufacturing and construction activity is required to produce the same output, so that incomes can rise despite lower manufacturing levels. The communication system, for example, is much more productive than it was in the past, but requires much less "brick and mortar" type activities and, hence, less construction activity. The importance of the value -added notion for a region is that a region's income depends largely upon the aggregate amount of value added that is created in that region. Although some of the value added "leaks" outside of the region as the result of non -local ownership of enterprises operating within the region, generally speaking, it is beneficial to have local firms engaged in high value -added activities, contributing to the income of the regional ownership and investors. The other advantage of a strong manufacturing sector to a region is that the industry tends to sell largely outside the region. In contrast, service industries tend to provide services more locally, and thus do not contribute as significantly to the "export" base of the region. The advantage of export- oriented businesses is that they introduce non -local spending into the local economy. Everything else being equal, such spending has a higher multiplier effect on local employment and income than spending created by diverting spending from one area to another internally to the region. Employment multipliers on pure service industries (and government) are much lower because they tend to involve "diverted" rather than "new" spending in the region. At the extreme, retail sales enterprises generally create large leakages of spending outside of the region, since most retail goods are not manufactured inside the region. ECONorthwest January 2002 Industrial Land in North Tukwila 0 n In summary, industrial activity that is high value -added and export oriented (i.e., exports outside of the region), has the greatest effect on maintaining a strong local economy, everything else being equal. There are some qualifications to this, and it is certainly the case that technology has diminished the role of traditional manufacturing, construction and mining activity in the economy. Nonetheless, most state and local governments try to encourage industrial development. Some do that by providing incentives; almost all try to ensure that they at least have provided adequate sites and infrastructure so that firms are not discouraged from moving to or remaining in the area. 2.4 IMPLICATIONS OF GLOBAL TRENDS FOR U.S. METROPOLITAN REGIONS Industrial Land in North Tukwila A key question for this study is, Can the Puget Sound region can expect to retain much industrial activity, given the comparative cost advantage of manufacturing overseas and elsewhere in the U.S.? If it cannot, then maintaining industrial land reserves and other policies to maintain industrial site availability makes less sense. It is true that the United States, generally, and the Puget Sound region, specifically, now have a smaller share of employment in the manufacturing industries than they had in previous decades, and this share has been declining steadily. In the United States, the amount of employment in industrial sectors' has remained relatively flat over the past 45 years, but industrial employment as a share of total non -farm employment has declined dramatically from 40 percent in 1955 to 20 percent in 2000 (Figure 2). 1 For this analysis, just the core sectors of manufacturing, mining, and construction; not wholesale trade or transportation, communication, and utilities. ., 1.04.,...._. n .. _ .J. � .

The theory of international trade explains why. Even if one country has an absolute cost advantage in every product, there will still be industrial activities that will survive in countries with the absolute cost disadvantage. The reason is that international trade patterns are driven by comparative cost advantage rather than absolute cost advantages. The theory of comparative economic advantage states that trade will occur so as to maximize the output of the world economy, given its labor and other resources. No single country is able to monopolize all industries because, if it were to do so, labor and other resources in other countries would not be utilized, and world output would decline. Exchange rates and local prices would move so as to make the relative prices in the advantaged and disadvantaged countries conducive to trade. If this were not the case, of course, trade could not occur at all in the extreme, since all flows of foreign currency would be in one direction. Hence, it is impossible for any one country or region to monopolize an industrial sector. Economists have demonstrated that as long a country is relatively more efficient at producing one good than another, it will be able to engage in the manufacture of the first good even though, in absolute terms, some other country could produce both goods more cheaply. These relative terms of trade will change over time, and there will definitely be industries that will leave the United States and the Puget Sound region for other countries. But there will remain some industries that are comparatively more efficient to operate in the United States, and industries that leave may return. The automobile industry in the United ECONorthwest January 2002 Industrial Land in North Tukwila /2- Industrial Land in North Tukwila States remains strong, for example, and in recent years, Japanese and German companies have found it comparatively less costly to manufacture their vehicles in the United States. Ten years ago, it was widely believed that automobile manufacturing activity would be moving in the opposite direction. Interregional (that is, within the United States) industry patterns are less subject to the law of comparative advantage, because there is no exchange -rate mechanism to contribute to the necessary adjustments in relative prices. Nevertheless, relative prices do change to maintain industry in all regions. For example, if all industrial activity tried to locate to a single, low -wage US region, the cost of housing and other amenities in the destination region would rise and higher wages would follow. Consequently, the Puget Sound region should not expect that all of its industrial activity will be lost to other regions in the United States, either. In summary, we do not interpret the long -run trends of a declining share of employment in industrial sectors in the US to mean that there will not be absolute growth in those sectors in the US, and in the metropolitan areas that compose it. As the next sections show, the official long -run regional forecasts are for growth in industrial employment. The exact amount of growth is certainly and always in question, but the underlying economic fundamentals of the US and Puget Sound economies make growth in industrial employment more likely than decline in the long run.

PSRC analysis revealed that more than half (57 percent) of the region's industrial jobs were located on industrial lands.2 Manufacturing (70 percent) and transportation (60 percent) jobs are the most concentrated on industrial lands in the four - county region of King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties. These regional percentages closely match the distribution of jobs within King County alone, which is not surprising since King County jobs account for about 70 percent of the region's total. Of the 410,800 "covered" jobs3 located on industrial lands region - wide, two - thirds are classified as industrial by our definition (also used in the PSRC report). The remaining one -third includes primarily jobs in the Services sector —many of which may be closely related to industrial jobs. Other jobs locating on industrial lands may not be industrial at all, but allowed in a particular city's zoning code for reasons unique to that city.4 With more than 100,000 jobs in the central Puget Sound region at the time of PSRC's studies, the Boeing Company dominated industrial jobs. In 1999, the aerospace sector alone accounted for 25 percent of industrial jobs regionwide. The PSRC study found that aerospace employment alone accounted for more than 20 percent of the jobs located on industrial lands in the region (roughly 90,000 of the 415,000 jobs on industrial land). Within the region, industrial employment growth was concentrated in certain areas during the 1990s, though those areas were dispersed 2 Technical Addendum: Employment, Land Use and Infrastructure Characteristics of Lands Designated as Industrial in Comprehensive Plans (1998). Discussed in detail in the Supply section of this report. 3 Sub -area analysis completed by PSRC relies on data from the Washington State Employment Security Department, referred to as "covered employment." These jobs are covered by the State's unemployment insurance program and estimated to generally exclude 10 - 14 percent of jobs (proprietors, self - employed, others). Also, the PSRC Technical Addendum utilized 1997 covered employment data for this analysis. 4 These percentages are similar to those found in a recent ECO report on industrial lands in the Portland metropolitan area.

Note: Shaded areas are Forecast Analysis Zones from PSRC's small area forecasting model. Note that Seattle and the Duwamish industrial area, including North Tukwila, actually lost industrial employment during this period. There are several reasons for this loss: • 1990 was a peak year of employment for Boeing, and after sharp employment declines in from 1991 to 1994, the area added back some, but not all, of those jobs. • Recent reductions in industrial activity in these areas represent the first phases of a transition process. During this transition process old -line industrial uses move out of the area to, in effect, clear the way for new types of industrial uses that will be better able to take advantage of the areas' strengths. • Losses in industrial activity in these areas are the result of industrial users being priced out of the market entirely. • ECONorthwest January 2002 Page 9 5 DJC, Savelle, "City Ponders Ballpark Bufferzone," 1998. Page 10 • Boeing decentralized, shifting employment to Everett and the Kent Valley. • The apparent loss of industrial employment could be partially definitional: i.e., that the mix of businesses changed to ones that still desire industrial land, but are not classified as industrial uses (e.g., automobile repair). Within the more recent period spanning 1995 to 1999, industrial employment growth was strong across the Puget Sound region, growing by 52,000 jobs, an average annual growth rate of 3.3 percent per year. A substantial portion of the region's industrial growth during the period was driven by employment increases at Boeing. Of the 52,000 added jobs, 25,000 were added in the aerospace industry alone. Excluding aerospace employment, employment in other industrial sectors grew at an average annual rate of 2.2 percent. Across the region, the relative importance of aerospace employment growth differed among counties. In Pierce and Snohomish Counties, growth in aerospace employment dominated all other industrial activity, accounting for 78 percent of the total growth for the period. In King County, however, industrial growth was much more diversified, with increases in aerospace employment accounting for only 36 percent of total growth. King County's industrial growth enjoyed substantial contributions from air transport industries, wholesale trade, communications, and the manufacturing of non - computer electronic equipment. 3.1.2 TRENDS IN REGIONAL DEMAND FOR INDUSTRIAL LAND The demand for industrial land has been watched closely in recent years by local media. In Seattle, the industrial area surrounding the Duwamish River in the southern portion of the City has received much attention from the City and the media. Land prices in and nearby to Seattle have been bid up by retailers and other users, and many industrial users have reportedly found it difficult to remain at their existing locations. As prices become increasingly expensive, industrial and manufacturing land uses are converted to other uses such as retail stores, office buildings, condominiums, and hotels, all of which can support the higher price of land. For example, before the new baseball stadium was constructed, land zoned industrial to the south of the Kingdome was selling for $12 to $16 per square foot. By 1998, it was selling for $30 per square foots Land prices throughout many portions of the region rose just as rapidly; the baseball stadium cannot receive all of the blame for this impact. Over the past several years, however, several parcels have been rezoned to accommodate offices and data centers in areas that have long been primarily heavy industrial.

In practice, many realtors include typical warehouse and light industrial buildings when they refer to flex -tech. The intended definition refers to buildings that tenants can reconfigure relatively easily to suit their needs — typically referring to adjusting the amount of the building dedicated to office. Many high -tech related companies prefer this type of building, allowing some areas for assembly, staging. and delivery. Industrial Land in North Tukwila We scanned the local media to provide the following sampling of notable conversions to illustrate this trend: • Martin Smith Inc. converted in May of 2000 a 60,000 square foot furniture warehouse west of the former Kingdome into high -tech offices.° z • Martin Smith maintains plans to convert a seven - plus -acre = H industrial site into a one - million - square -foot, mixed -use, urban- F' w high -tech campus.; 6 JU • In April of 2000, James Walker sought a master use permit to u) a change 20,800 square feet of warehouse space into office space, u) LIJ plus construct an additional 3,000 square feet of new office space.8 -J I LL iii • In December of 2000, Romac, teaming with Trammel Crow Co., 2 applied to convert a former pipe - making plant into a six -story, 100,000- square -foot office building, with an additional 62,500 u_ _. square feet of data - center space.8 = a 1 _ w I These conversions speak to several trends happening in industrial Z real estate, discussed throughout the report: manufacturing companies z O employ a higher percentage of office jobs; tech companies blur the line 2 ill between manufacturing and service jobs; and architects cater to v ❑ warehouse -style development for offices.

In the extreme, to respond to a question that Tukwila asked us, we do not interpret the long -run trend of declining shares of employment in manufacturing to mean that demand for industrial land for industrial uses in the U.S. will get small quickly and that, therefore, there will be little demand for industrial land for ECONorthwest m ; r+x+" January 2002 Page 11 industrial uses. In this section we look at the Puget Sound region in more detail. In 1997, the Puget Sound Regional Council forecasted that the region would add 480,000 jobs between 2000 and 2020, 62,500 of which would be in those employment sectors that generally require industrial lands. As discussed throughout this report, it is difficult to relate job types and employment sectors by type to demand for land. Demand for land use types can be generalized in terms of employees per square foot, but there is not consistent correlation of employment types to land use types. If, as other studies suggest, 60 -80% of those industrial jobs locate on industrial land, that would be about 40,000 to 50,000 employees. If all that growth were accommodated on vacant land, that would require on the order of 5,000 to 10,000 acres of industrial land. PSRC forecasts that the additional industrial jobs will span the developed portions of the region, concentrated more heavily in the southern portion of Seattle, South King County, and in Everett, where aerospace jobs are concentrated (Figure 4)." Figure 4. Change in industrial employment, 1999 -2020 1998 -2020 Change In Employment (number of jobs) -100 -100 100 -4,443 4.444 - 8,453 - 8,454 - 17,742 17,743 - 34.989 Source: Puget Sound Regional Council, 2001. 11 These forecasts were developed prior to recent changes in the aerospace industry and Boeing. New forecasts are expected in 2002. Page 12 ECONorthwest January 2002 Industrial Land in North Tukwila l u It is interesting to compare the changes in industrial employment in the 1990s (Figure 3), to these forecasts generated by the PSRC. Perhaps most striking are PSRC's forecasts of strong industrial growth in Seattle's southern industrial corridor, an area that saw industrial job reductions in the 1990s. If the PSRC's forecasts of industrial growth in these areas are to be achieved, then a reversal of recent trends must occur. Given the large concentrations of job growth forecasted for these areas, a lot hinges z a on whether this reversal really takes place. • ~ w 3.2 SUPPLY OF INDUSTRIAL LAND IN THE PUGET SOUND REGION moo U w J H Th e previous sections have focused on the demand for industrial N u_ land, primarily by assuming a direct correlation between growth in w 0 industrial employment and the demand for industrial land on which to construct the buildings that will house that employment. This section g looks at the supply of industrial land in the Puget Sound region by co summarizing from recent studies.12 I w 3:2.1 PSRC /UW STUDIES, 1995 AND 2000 w W The Puget Sound Regional Council and the University of Washington o Center for Community Development and Real Estate cooperated to 00 u) complete the most comprehensive study to date of the region's industrial a'-- lands. Their report, Industrial Land Supply and Demand in the Central = w Puget Sound Region (1995), summarized analysis of the region's net E- H supply of industrial land and characteristics of major industrial areas, u' 0 such as location, parcel sizes, price, and infrastructure. In April 2000, tii N the Puget Sound Regional Council published Technical Addendum: H = Employment, Land Use and Infrastructure Characteristics of Lands 0 1— Designated as Industrial in Comprehensive Plans, a technical addendum to the Industrial Land report. The Technical Addendum addressed three issues raised in the original report: employment analysis of industrial and non - industrial lands, varying zoning regulations among jurisdictions, and short -term usefulness of industrial lands. The UW /PSRC industrial lands report showed projected demand region -wide for 5,600 to 7,100 acres of industrial land for the period of(1997 to 2020, with the regional supply of vacant or redevelopable land totaling 21,000 acres. Those 21,000 acres include more than 7,000 acres that were not served adequately by infrastructure and transportation accessibility at that time (1995). The study also noted a discrepancy between the location of the supply of industrial land and the areas in which industrial lands are in high demand. The report showed that only 8 percent of the region's net supply of industrial land was located along the industrial corridor from the Duwamish River in Seattle south to Auburn. Tukwila's industrially zoned lands are located in the heart of 12 We did not have the budget or time to conduct any original research. Many cities arc in the process of updating their land inventories as part of their efforts to comply with state GMA requirements. Industrial Land in North Tukwila 0.Wtla ECONorthwest January 2002 Page 13 n, x^' TM ^^,,M.r,w,cnrk4!L'#tiyi'.!'1"e Page 14 this corridor. The majority of the net supply (81 percent) was found to be located in Snohomish, Pierce, and Kitsap counties. 3.2.2 OTHER BUILDABLE LAND STUDIES In 1998, the King County Growth Management Planning Council commissioned a study entitled, "King County Industrial and Commercial Land Capacity." That study found net buildable capacity of approximately 66.3 million square feet of industrial floor area, half of which is on vacant land, and the other half on redevelopable land. Of that total about two - thirds of the area is vacant, and the remaining one - third is redevelopable. In the King County study, the demand side of the industrial lands issue was framed in terms of employment targets. The County and cities have all adopted employment targets as part of the GMA requirements. The study concluded that the combined commercial and industrial capacity (on vacant and redevelopable parcels) was more than double the capacity necessary to meet the employment targets for 2020. The study examined parcel sizes and reported a wide range of parcel sizes available for industrial uses. It did not make conclusions regarding the adequacy and suitability of parcel sizes. Rather, the conclusions focused on data improvements and future needs of land capacity data. In 1994 the Kitsap Economic Development Council conducted a study of industrial land in Kitsap County. They found that less than 22 of the more than 1800 industrially -zoned acres in Kitsap County were free to be developed.» A variety of problems were identified as barriers to development: contamination, lack of infrastructure, wetlands, steep slopes, poor location, lack of services, and increasing prices (again, elevated by competition from retailers who can afford to pay more for the land). In Portland, Oregon, several agencies recently co- sponsored a study similar to that of PSRC's, which ECO helped complete. That study showed similar findings as the PSRC report: while the gross supply of industrial land appeared to meet demand through 2020, only about one - third of the land supply was considered to be ready to develop. This study helps show that the industrial land supply is important throughout the Pacific Northwest. Tukwila's context for zoning decisions reaches far beyond city limits or even neighboring areas like Seattle and Kent. 3.2.3 RECENT TRENDS IN THE PUGET SOUND REGION Available evidence suggests that supply constraints are putting pressure on industrial users to move to the north, south, and east of King County's urban center. These supply constraints are manifest in (1) a scarcity of suitable sites, and (2) land values that have increased to a 13 DJC, Scott, "Industrial Land Supply: Is It Later Than We Think ?" 1994. ECONorthwest January 2002 Industrial Land in North Tukwila point where traditional industrial uses of the sites are no longer viable. Even in the Kent Valley, which absorbed much of the industrial development of the last decade, virtually all that remains for development are 8- to 10 -acre parcels. 14 Nick Cassino, a broker for Trammell Crow, said that it is very difficult to find a 30 or 40 -acre tract of land. That finding is identical to one in the recent comprehensive industrial land analysis in the Portland area. i. Brokers like Cassino foresee a future in which the region's growing w population will compel several national companies to establish large distribution centers in Kent and Auburn. They predict that each one of these distribution centers could easily demand more than 1.5 million co 0 square feet. t5 w = J 3.3 SYNTHESIS: IMPLICATIONS FOR INDUSTRIAL 0 LAND The weight of evidence suggest that the high land prices and w dwindling supply of industrial land will continue to lead developers south z = of Seattle in search of cheaper and more readily available industrial 0 land.16 According to Nick Cassino, a broker with Trammell Crow, "most of uj the new industrial construction will occur in Sumner and Fife as they = o serve as a bridge between the Kent /Auburn Valley and the Fife /Port of o Tacoma." 01- w ECO's recent experience in Sumner leads us to believe Mr. Cassino's = v argument has merit. In recent years, the City of Sumner nearly doubled L.1 its geographic size by annexing agricultural land and zoning it industrial. w z Demand for the land has been very high since that time. The Tarragon v Corporation is building a two - million - square -foot industrial park complex in Sumner, and has plans for a similar development to follow this one. z Sumner is close to Tacoma and provides easy access to SR -167. This access will get even better when a new on -ramp opens in 2003. It is expected that the new on -ramp will stimulate the drive for additional southward development.17 Some even expect that the trend of development moving to the south could reach as far as Lacey, near Olympia, along Interstate 5.18 Industrial Land in North Tukwila saK'i3'i�9tiFLeS ' , „ The Pierce County market area is ranked third in the Puget Sound region in terms of industrial building inventory, only surpassed by South King County and Seattle, and followed closely by East King County where the majority of industrial space has been used by high -tech companies. In 1999, more than 150 of the total 201 million square feet of industrial 14 One notable exception is a 200 -acre parcel that Boeing recently put on the market in the Kent valley. 15 PSBJ, Broberg, "Pure industrial deals flow south of border to Sumner," 2001. 16 DJC, Staff, "Industrial, High -Tech Vacancies Remain Low, Rents Head Higher." 17 PSBJ, Rosenberg, Industrial Market: The South Will Rise Again." 1999. 18 Ps9J, Rosenberg, Industrial Market: The South Will Rise Again," 1999.

Page 16 space was located out of Seattle proper. Forty percent of this stock was in South King County alone. The year before, in 1998, net absorption was negative 500,000 square feet in Seattle, while South King County absorbed 1.5 million square feet. Comparatively, Pierce County and East King County each absorbed just over 600,000 square feet.19 Between 1997 and 1999 the overall trend in the industrial market appears more or less the same; Seattle had a negative net absorption of 1.2 million square feet, South King absorbed 4 million, Pierce 1.9 million, East King 1.5 million, and Snohomish County more than 700,000. Other areas in the region have also seen increased demand for industrial land. North, in Snohomish County, companies from Seattle and the Eastside continue to search for larger spaces with lower rents. The strength of this trend has reportedly increased since 1995. Snohomish County, however, has seen less industrial influx than south King County and Pierce County due to Snohomish County's strict building codes. Industrial land is hard to come by in Snohomish County. Even though the North End market has good accessibility, located at the convergence of Interstate 5 and Interstate 405, very little land in the area is zoned for industrial uses. Most of the industrial growth in Snohomish County is occurring in two locations: south Everett, including Seaway Center and Paine Field, and the Harbour Pointe area of Mukilteo. The airport authority controls Paine Field, however, so there are more restrictions on land use than at Seaway. Seaway Center will also acquire more space soon when sand - and - gravel mining land is converted into industrial space.20 Industrial land in the central areas of the region is being used increasingly by non - industrial uses. More than any other reason, non- industrial users' greater willingness to pay for those lands appears to drive the displacement of the industrial users from industrial lands. Where unregulated by restrictive zoning, the market for these centrally located lands is shifting to non - industrial uses. At the same time, South King County communities have opened up more land for industrial use and provided industrial companies and developers less expensive alternatives to staying or developing in the Duwamish Corridor. These outlying alternatives have proven to be more attractive to industrial uses than bidding against other commercial uses for the interior lands. The locational advantages of the more centrally located land has not changed, however, and industrial users continue to rank those locations high. That ranking remains high based on access to the freeway system, the Port of Seattle, and rail connections.

Figure 5 shows the location of these jobs.

In total, the PSRC estimates that the five TAZs that include the study area supported 21,000 jobs in 2000. Almost 16,100 of these jobs were in industrial uses (76 %), with most of the remainder falling in the services and retail sectors.

ECONorthwest January 2002 Page '19 Page 20 4.1.2 POTENTIAL FUTURE DEMAND The Puget Sound Regional Council forecasts that, over the 20 -year period spanning 2000 to 2020, the five TAZs that include the North Tukwila study area will see net industrial job growth of 2,700, and overall job growth of 5,700. Nearly all of that forecasted growth is expected to occur in TAZs 330 and 341, which capture the northern and southern ends of the study area respectively. If we assume that the forecasted employment growth will occur in industries that require the large amounts of floor area per employee typically associated with industrial uses (600 square feet per employee), then the PSRC forecasts imply that, in total, the five TAZs will occupy 3.4 million square feet of industrial and commercial floor space. Given current vacancy rates, most of the space will have to be built. If we limit our analysis to only those uses that fall within our identified industrial categories, the demand for additional "industrial" floor area approaches 1.6 million square feet. At an average floor -area ratio of 0.4 (which is on the high side), this translates into a need for 4 million square feet of industrial land (or more than 90 acres). Beyond the demand for industrial uses forecasted by the PSRC's model, we believe that, if one takes into consideration the forces at work in industrial areas to the north in the Seattle Duwamish corridor, a case can be made for even greater levels of demand for Tukwila's industrial lands. As we noted previously, PSRC's forecasts call for strong industrial job growth in Seattle's southern industrial corridor. Recent trends, however, show that many of the areas for which this growth is slated have actually experienced losses in industrial employment. If these trends were to persist, then a couple of different conclusions could follow. First, it could be the case that the PSRC forecasts are at too great a variance with reality and would need to be adjusted. Or, second, if the aggregate forecast is still roughly correct, then the employment growth has to be shifting to other areas. As one of the next most logical places to look for a centrally located industrial site, Tukwila should be well positioned to accommodate at least a potion of this growth. 4.2 SUPPLY: CHARACTERISTICS OF INDUSTRIAL LAND IN NORTH TUKWILA Figure 7 shows the location of vacant industrial land in North Tukwila. Among the points it illustrates is one obvious to people familiar with the area: it is primarily developed, and vacant parcels are scattered throughout it.

This area has about 1,300 acres of land in parcels (57.1 million square feet). Nearly all of this land (96 %) is zoned Manufacturing Industrial Center /Heavy Industrial (MIC /H); 3.5 %, Manufacturing Industrial Center /Light Industrial (MIC /L); and just over .5 %, Heavy Industrial (HI) (Figure 8).

As described in the City's zoning code, the MIC /H "is intended to provide a major employment area containing heavy or bulk manufacturing and industrial uses, distributive and light manufacturing and industrial uses, and other uses that support those industries." The heavy industrial uses permitted include a variety of manufacturing activities, including the manufacturing and processing of metals, materials (plastics, textiles, etc.), food production, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and other traditional manufacturing activities. A range of land uses that could support heavy industrial activity is also allowed, including personal services and eating and drinking places. ECONorthwest January 2002 .

Eighty -six percent of the z Cr study area is served by the Tukwila Water district, leaving 9 percent Z served by Water District 125, and 5 percent by the Seattle Water District. 0 The City's entire service area is currently supplied entirely from the City w �- of Seattle's water system through a long -term purveyor contract. Nearly ? o all of the water supplied to Tukwila comes from the Cedar River 0 Watershed through the 60 -inch Cedar River Pipeline No. 4 on the south 0 T. and the 48 -inch West Seattle supply line on the north. The line supplying w Tukwila is an 18 -inch pipe the runs underneath East Marginal Way 0 South and draws at a rate of 10,000 gallons per minute. u O .. All of the industrial parcels are also well served by three sewer 0 districts: Tukwila Sewer serves approximately 47 percent of the study p area, Val Vue Sewer serves roughly 37 percent, and Seattle Sewer serves z about 16 percent of the area. The sewer network consists of at least 30 miles of concrete pipe with some portions of PVC, asbestos cement, cast iron, and ductile iron mains. The City of Tukwila owns and operates eight (8) sewage lift stations within its sewage collection system. Industrial Land in North Tukwila Offices are allowed if they are associated with another permitted use, intended to provide for office space related to industrial activity. Offices permitted in both the MIC /H and the MIC /L areas can only be associated with other permitted uses, and not at all in areas zoned Heavy Industrial. The MIC /H and MIC /L zoning designations are similar but not z identical. In the MIC /L -zoned areas, some heavier industrial uses are not = allowed, such as: manufacturing, processing and /or assembling of w chemicals, heavy metals, light metals, previously processed metals, W 2 plastics, textiles, agricultural products, or animal products. Rock -and _J 0 concrete - related activity is permitted in the MIC /L areas, but not in the u) 0 MIC /H or the HI areas. w w J 1_ In addition to the area's robust water and sewer system, industrial parcels in the study area benefit from an extensive network of fiber optics cables. As of July 2001, six companies (Level 3, 360 Network, Mcleod USA, Metromedia, Williams, ELI, and MCI Worldcom) maintained fiber optic lines in Northern Tukwila. Two lines run south along Interstate 5; two more run along East Marginal Way South; one along Interurban Avenue South; and one runs along the Tukwila International Boulevard. Excellent road capacity serves parcels in the MIC area, providing access to Duwamish industrial areas and the region's freeways. This access creates a comparative advantage over many industrial areas in the region, where regional congestion slows access to important freight and shipping destinations. East Marginal Way South serves the planning area. Between the Boeing Access Road and the City's northern limits, East Marginal Way S. varies between seven and nine travel lanes, with easy access to I -5.

In particular, the City seeks an answer to the question, "Should the City preserve the industrial zoning and the land for industrial use, or should it rezone the land ?" To that end, the City hired ECONorthwest to look at demand and supply factors related to industrial land, and give an assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of maintaining the industrial zoning. We were asked to give an overview of regional demand and local demand for industrial lands. We presented that overview in this report, and supplemented the overview with a discussion of national and global economic factors that influence and shape the demand for industrial land in Tukwila. In addition, we examined regional employment forecasts and analyzed the supply of industrial land in Tukwila relative to potential industrial land demand based on those employment forecasts. The main points of that analysis are summarized in this section. In addition to that summary, this section includes a final section on issues related to City decisions about zoning. It discusses the implications of competing demand for land currently zoned industrial, and some final thoughts on the value of keeping the land zoned for industrial uses. The share of traditional industrial activity in the nation and in the Puget Sound region has declined in recent years, but it need not continue to decline from today's levels. Depending upon technological, economic, and political events, including foreign economies and exchange rate movements, it is even conceivable that the industrial share of employment could rise in the region in the future. Fundamental to a discussion of demand is a consideration of price. If price is perceived by consumers as very low (relative to their assessment of value), demand will be high. This simple idea, which most consumers and businesses in the U.S. economy understand intuitively, has important implications for the an evaluation of industrial land. The demand for industrial land at current prices for industrial land is high. If those prices rise substantially— primarily because of the assessment of developers and businesses that alternative uses (e.g., commercial) will yield a greater return than industrial uses —then the demand by industry for that land decreases. That point has to be understood if one is to understand the evaluation that follows. In short, if public policy (e.g., zoning) constrains the uses of land to a narrow and clearly defined set of industrial uses, then those uses are competing only against themselves for land ECONorthwest January 2002 Industrial Land in North Tukwila Industrial Land in North Tukwila acquisition, and the value of industrial uses will dictate (and cap) the price of land. The price will also be held lower by the price of cheaper suburban industrial sites that industrial users have as alternatives. In that world, we are saying that employment forecasts and trends in the Duwamish Corridor suggest that demand for industrial land in North Tukwila will remain strong, even with decreases in the forecasted share of industrial employment region -wide. The City strives to accommodate this demand, which increases the likelihood that industrial users will choose this area. For example, the City reports that it has taken steps to reduce contamination at brownfield sites in order to make them attractive for development. These steps help reduce the cost of land that new users would ordinarily incur themselves. Such measures make it easier for new industry to locate in the industrial area. There is, however, a different world we could assume: one in which "industrial" uses are broadly defined in industrial zones, or in which zoning is relatively easy to change. In that world, the price of land in North Tukwila could be strongly affected by the value of that land to commercial users. Earlier parts of the report show the differences in land value that result. In'short, land prices get high enough that many industrial users are not interested. In that world, demand for industrial land in North Tukwila by industrial users is low: they cannot bid what commercial users can. In the first world —the one where zoning limits commercial use of industrial land —our analysis of the commercial areas surrounding and including the northern Tukwila study area suggests that industrial land users will require at least an additional 90 acres of land by 2020. The land in this area is already incorporated and zoned. As a result, the forecasted demand, as it materializes, will increase pressure for conversions of surrounding areas currently zoned for non - industrial uses, while at the same time put upward price pressure on those areas already zoned for industrial uses. This analysis is based on the PSRC forecasts of jobs in and around the study area. The PSRC forecasts provide a good starting point for this analysis and show that regional economic growth through 2020 will drive employment growth in the Tukwila area as well. We believe that there will be growth in industrial employment provided, among other things, that land with suitable attributes (including location and price) is available. But (again) availability is ultimately a matter of price. Non - industrial commercial land users have shown an ability to pay higher prices for land than many traditional manufacturing and industrial users. In absence of zoning, therefore, continued long -run expansions of the services sectors will cause a shift of industrial land toward non- industrial uses. That trend is consistent with theory, evidence from studies showing non - industrial users on industrial land, and recent experience in the Seattle region. ECONorthwest January 2002 Page 25 �r! Page 26 In sum, there will be demand for industrial land from both industrial and non - industrial users. Upward pressure on land price may cause industrial users to move farther away from Seattle if the prices of industrial lands reflect commercial prices. This will happen if commercial developers know they can receive (or believe they have a reasonable chance of receiving) variances or zone changes to allow commercial development. Among the questions that the City of Tukwila is asking with this study is "How much industrial land does the City or region need ?" Our general conclusion is that industrial land must accommodate most job growth in "industrial" sectors. It must also accommodate some job growth in "non- industrial" sectors. Given the scarcity of suitable industrial sites in King County's urban core, and given the characteristics of Tukwila's industrial areas, we believe that strong demand should exist for development of Tukwila's available industrial parcels (assuming prevailing zoning and prices). Although the PSRC forecasts strong industrial growth in Seattle's industrial corridor, recent evidence suggests that growth in Seattle will need to occur in the face of increased competition from alternative uses. As the one of the next most•logical places to look, Tukwila should be well positioned to accommodate displaced users. 5.2 ISSUES RELATED TO REZONING Cities throughout the Puget Sound region should maintain a policy that does not irreversibly reduce the availability of industrial sites. Or, to make the same point from a different direction, by maintaining available industrial sites, the Puget Sound region may be able to retain or attract a disproportionate share of this activity relative to other regions. Although recent trends make it tempting to conclude that the future of the region is in information and other service -based activity, some form of manufacturing activity will remain an important aspect of the economic base of the region. Some of today's manufacturing activity looks more like service activity than traditional manufacturing activity. Many manufacturing companies employ an increasing percentage of workers in jobs stationed at desks and computers and a decreasing percentage of traditional assembly workers. Changes in technology, transportation, and communication have increased the number of office workers within industrial companies. Jobs at these companies consist of a higher percentage of engineers, logisticians, and administrative staff than in earlier industrial eras. Similarly, robotics and assembly technology advances in manufacturing companies have decreased the number of manual -labor employees necessary, while achieving greater output. These trends have affected the amount of land required by many industrial companies. Nonetheless, many such enterprises continue to require a large campus, with good transportation access, access to housing, etc. These are the same basic needs as their heavy industrial predecessors. ECONorthwest January 2002 Industrial Land in North Tukwila airget Industrial Land in North Tukwila To some degree, sites can be maintained in a flexibly configurable manner so that sites can be converted, as the market requires, among service and manufacturing functions. There is a limit, however, to the extent that this can be done without creating settings with incompatible uses. When this happens, the sites can become less attractive to both manufacturing and non - manufacturing uses. We have prepared and analyzed all of this information to aid the City in deciding whether to change the existing zoning in the study area, currently zoned primarily MIC /H designation. We framed the analysis according to the City's request of us: keep the zoning industrial if there will be a demand for industrial lands for the foreseeable future. This analysis, then, suggests that maintaining the MIC /H designation would continue to serve a valuable role for the future needs of industrial users. The City may wish to consider a range of policy options that we were not asked to consider, but present here for future consideration. We are not making an absolute recommendation here that the City should adopt more regulations of industrial land to protect it from conversion to other uses. Rather, we are making a contingent recommendation: If the City wants more protection, then these are the kinds of regulations to consider:2 • In the MIC /H designations, the enforcement of its restrictive office allowances (only as accessories for companies engaged in heavy industry activity) will reduce the conversion of higher -value office space from squeezing out traditional industrial and manufacturing uses. • The City should closely evaluate the zoning allowances for MIC /H, MIC /L, and C /LI to make sure that current zoning does protect industrial land, while allowing flexibility to go with changes in industries. The evaluation should ensure that the zoning is more performance based, rather than defined by the intensity of land use. The zoning should continue to strive to accommodate those basic industries that generate regulated negative externalities not accepted elsewhere in the City or the region. 71 Earlier parts of the report have described the reasons that the City might choose to protect the industrial land for industrial use.: Protecting the land for manufacturing and industrial uses will continue to provide land for the trade and manufacturing industries, both of which typically provide relatively more stable, family -wage employment, for skilled and lower- skilled workers. Industrial uses are most frequently aligned with export companies (basic) that bring new revenues into the region, as opposed to shifting resources within the region, more typified by office uses. And, Tukwila already has a substantial commercial base in the Tukwila Urban Center. ECONorthwest January 2002 Page 27 z w 6 00 co J H w J j . � = w 1- Z � 1- O Z I— w 2 U D .O _ 0 I- wW 0 ti O ..

In the fall of 2002, the City received a $1.5 million federal grant to prepare a redevelopment plan for the Longacres area, including identifying land use, urban design and transportation/circulation objectives. These grant funds will also be used to complete the Tukwila urban center (TUC) plan and incorporate the TOD plan in the overall plans for the TUC. Since passage of the moratorium: • Contracts /scope of work are being prepared by Freedman Tung & Bottomley (FTB) for land use /design services on the TOD project, and with EcoNorthwest (ECO) for financial feasibility and analysis services. These contracts will go before Council for approval in February/March 2003. These will be funded by the $1.5 M federal grant for TOD planning. • A series of workshops and stakeholder meetings will soon follow, including Boeing, Metro, Sound Transit, WSDOT, and local property owners and businesses. The consultant team, based on workshop results, will prepare a range of alternative land use and capital improvement scenarios for the TOD area. Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director On September 2002, Council adopted Ordinance No. 1996, establishing a six -month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the transit- oriented development (TOD) planning area surrounding the Longacres Sounder /Amtrak rail station (see Figure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at Longacres are in place. Council is required to hold a public hearing, and subsequently renew, revise or repeal the ordinance by March 16, 2003. Staff is proposing modifications to the ordinance. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206.431-3670 • Fax: 206- 431 -3665 z I Z CC U-1 6 00 N 0 W J CD Li. w II O D- o I-- wW u-- 0 w z UCD % _ O~ z Current Ordinance Proposed Modification • Moratorium on applications and approvals related to high- intensity uses (e.g. manufacturing, industrial & auto- oriented businesses) which are not of appropriate type, density or character to support the intent of a TOD. • Allow applications and approvals related to interim uses that are easily redevelopable, with minimal impacts and investment in infrastructure.

The TUC plan and TOD subarea plan are anticipated to be completed and ready for the adoption process early 2004. Staff Proposed Modifications to the Ordinance The timing, type and extent of a TOD project is highly dependent upon the construction of local and regional transportation improvements in the area. Six months ago, funding for the I -405 expansion and the Strander Blvd extension project (and associated relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad line) seemed attainable, with construction anticipated to be completed within a 5 to 10 year timeframe. Thus, Staff recommended a conservative approach towards restricting land uses and retaining land available for a TOD project. Given the current funding scenario, it is now estimated at 10 to 15 years before the transportation improvements necessary to implement a successful TOD project will be constructed. Given this longer time frame, Staff is recommending modifying the moratorium to achieve the following during the planning period: • allow more flexible use of properties • ensure the viability and health of existing businesses • preserve the larger tracts of vacant land Table 1.

Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director To date, Council has adopted three six -month moratoriums on the acceptance of applications for certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for transit - oriented development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail /Amtrak station at Longacres (see Figure 1). The first Ordinance (No. 1996) was adopted in September 2002. When it expired in March, 2003, Council adopted Ordinance No. 2014, allowing more interim use of properties during this planning period, while maintaining a moratorium on activities and uses that would have significant long -term impacts on the ability to successfully develop a TOD. The third ordinance (No. 2025) was adopted in August 2003, renewing Ordinance 2014. Ordinance No. 2025 will expire February 18, 2004. Council must decide whether to hold a public hearing and renew the ordinance or let the moratorium lapse. Planning for the TOD area is progressing, however there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a master plan for the area is in place. In November, 2000, the Council approved an Unclassified Use Permit (UUP) for the construction and operation of the temporary Sounder Commuter Rail Station located within the TOD area. This UUP will expire at the end of February. In February, staff will be recommending the extension of this UUP for the temporary station so that the design of the permanent Sounder station can be coordinated with the final TUC /TOD plan. Staff recommends a modification to the current moratorium ordinance to allow the UUP for the temporary station to be extended while the moratorium is in place. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 • Exempts the filing of and approvals related to: - The expansion of existing businesses on existing lots. - Sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements. • Allows the filing of approvals related to: - All other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. • Exempts the extension of a current land use permit from the moratorium provisions. Update on the TOD Plan In the fall of 2002, the City received a $1.5 million federal grant to prepare a TOD master plan for the Longacres area, identifying land use, urban design and transportation /circulation objectives. These grant funds will also be used to complete the Tukwila urban center (TUC) plan and incorporate the TOD plan in the overall plans for the TUC. Since passage of the original moratorium: • Three of a series of four workshops and stakeholder meetings have been held. The consultant team, based on workshop results, is developing a future land use and capital improvement scenario for the TOD area. • This plan will be folded into the overall Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) plan. A draft of the TUC plan (including the TOD area) is anticipated to be completed and ready for public review in June, 2004. Council consideration of the draft plan is expected to take place in fall, 2004. Options 1. Council renews Ordinance 2025 with the recommended modification. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. 2. Council renews the Ordinance without modification. Its provisions remain the same as the current Ordinance No. 2025, without modifications. The UUP for the Sounder temporary commuter rail station lapses and the station becomes non - compliant - -. The moratorium remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. 3. Council modifies the Ordinance further. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and either renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. 4. Council allows the Ordinance to lapse. Land divisions, development activities and land uses will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of a TOD and other transportation improvements may be more difficult. Proposed Next Steps • l There is still a need for keeping the existing ordinance in place until a land use /transportation framework is adopted.

Mullet, Mayor Staff is proposing a temporary moratorium on development activities, land divisions, and land use decisions within the transit- oriented development (TOD) planning area surrounding the Longacres Sounder /Amtrak rail station (see Figure 1). Staff recommends this restriction on development remain in effect until the TOD master plan and associated implementing regulations are completed. In 1999, Sound Transit received an Unclassified Use Permit from the City to construct a temporary rail station for Sounder commuter rail and Amtrak passenger service at Longacres, adjacent to the Burlington Northern Railroad. The City recognized this as a unique opportunity to promote a more compact, pedestrian supportive pattern of development in this area that makes effective use of its proximity and accessibility to the rail station, and includes a mix of retail, service, office and residential uses. This more intensive pattern of transit- oriented development (TOD) was seen as key in assisting the City with the redevelopment of the Tukwila Urban Center, achieving regional Growth Management Act requirements, and increasing local and regional transit ridership. In August, 2001 the City held a workshop, inviting other key stakeholders (including Boeing, City of Renton, Metro, Amtrak, Sound Transit, and WSDOT) to explore the possibilities for a TOD in the Longacres area. There was strong support for the project, and a portrayal of the groups' "vision" for the area is included in this memo (See Figures 2 and 3). To implement this vision, the City applied for and was awarded a $1.5 million grant by the Federal Highways Administration to prepare a master plan for the Longacres area, identifying land use, urban design and transportation/circulation objectives. The City anticipates receiving authorization to spend these funds early this fall. The TOD master plan project is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2003. However, there are some issues that need to be addressed immediately in order for the project to be successful: • Currently, the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) zoning district allows for a variety of high - intensity regional uses in the planning area, including light industry and warehousing. Some of these uses may not be of appropriate type, density or character to support the intent of a TOD. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 The City has already received a proposal for development within the TOD planning area that would have been inconsistent with the vision for the TOD. • The Longacres site is viewed as one of the region's key opportunities for TOD projects, primarily due to the large amount of vacant and redevelopable land surrounding the station. The City's Municipal Code also allows for the division of land and adjustment of boundary :F z lines. If allowed to occur, subsequent division of the parcels in the planning area could make W 2 future land assemblage for a TOD project difficult and costly. In addition, any new 6 v development occurring prior to the establishment of a desired pattern or location of uses in the 0 0 TOD master plan could jeopardize the City's ability to implement the plan. w w I J H Recommendations co I w0 While the TOD master plan is being prepared, immediate steps should be taken to preserve the land g available for development or redevelopment until the TOD master plan and associated implementing regulations are completed. 2 a I- Specifically, the City needs to immediately impose a moratorium upon the filing of permits and z 0 approvals related to: z I- • Land divisions.

H H O Z Exemptions The only exemptions to the moratorium are the filing of and approvals for: • Sign permits • Building permits for tenant improvements Effective Period The moratorium needs to be in place until the master plan for the TOD at Longacres is completed, implementing regulations are adopted by the City, and other related regional transportation infrastructure issues are decided. Staff recommends an initial six month period. At the end of that time, Council can assess progress made on the master plan, refine the parameters of the moratorium, and decide to renew or repeal the ordinance. Proposed Next Steps 1. Council adopts the moratorium on development at their regular meeting on September 16, 2002. 2. Council holds a public hearing on the moratorium within 60 days of adoption. 3. Council revisits the moratorium in six months to repeal, renew or modify the ordinance. 2 City of Tukwila Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director TO: City of Tukwila C e ci members From: Steve Lancaster — Date: October 23, 200 Subject: Public Hearing on Ordinance No. 1996, Establishing a temporary moratorium on certain land divisions and land use decisions in the Longacres TOD planning area On September 16, 2002, Council adopted Ordinance No. 1996, establishing a temporary moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the transit- oriented development (TOD) planning area surrounding the Longacres Sounder /Amtrak rail station (see Figure 1). A public hearing is required to be held within sixty days of its adoption, and is scheduled for the COW's October 28, 2002 meeting. Background Steven M. Mullet, Mayor On September 16, 2002, Council adopted Ordinance No.1996 to preserve land available for development or redevelopment until the TOD master plan and associated implementing regulations are completed. Affected by the moratorium are the filing of all permits and approvals within the TOD planning area related to land divisions and certain development activities and land uses, as listed in Ordinance No.1966. Exempted from the moratorium are the filing of and approvals for sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements. RCW 35.63.200 requires a city council to hold a public hearing on an adopted moratorium within at least sixty days of its adoption. Notice for the public hearing and an informational open house on the moratorium was provided. In addition, individual letters were sent to affected property owners and businesses notifying them of the scheduled hearing and open house. The informational open house on the moratorium was held on Monday, October 21 from noon to 1 p.m. Summary of Open House Discussion Six people attended the October 21, 2002 open house. The following comments and questions were raised: • Attendees wanted to know the benefits and disadvantages to the property owners, as a result of this moratorium. Staff noted the following: 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 -431 -3665 z _� . '~ w 6 J0 00 w = J H. 0 D. = a I -w z i = .. zo 1.11 uj O � Ca I— w I 0 0 . cu z co = OH . z Disadvantages: > While the moratorium is in place, property owners and businesses would not be able to expand certain types of existing uses (as listed in Ordinance No.1966), apply for permits for certain types of new development, or apply for land division permits. > There may be less certainty, over the short term, as to what could be done with property in the future. Consequently, potential property buyers or developers could view investments in this area E- w as riskier. rt 2 JU Benefits: U O o > Even with the moratorium, there are more uses permitted in the TOD area than uses affected by the w w moratorium. There are still many development options available. - > After the TOD master plan is completed and capital improvements such as a new street network w O and the permanent rail station are in place, property values could significantly increase. • Attendees expressed frustration ation that the City was basing the moratorium on a "vision" — the events that would have to occur to make the entire TOD area "marketable " for a TOD are not likely = cl i w to occur soon (e.g., Strander extension, relocating the UP railroad lines). Why place restrictions on z the types of uses that currently are the only viable uses in that area, such as warehousing /industrial z 0 and parking? Why not decrease the size of the TOD planning area? w Staff explained that the moratorium was put in place to preserve opportunities for redevelopment while O N the TOD master plan is being prepared. As part of the planning process, consultants will evaluate the ° ~ market and financial feasibility of proposed uses in the TOD area. The City Council will use this v information to evaluate the moratorium in March, 2003. At this time, the Council must decide to repeal u. 0 or renew the ordinance. The Council can also choose to revise certain provisions of the moratorium, i u z such as the affected uses or size of the TOD planning area. 0 O I— • A preliminary vision for the TOD area was developed during the workshop on TOD held in Z August, 2001, but public involvement (particularly affected business and property owners) was limited. Attendees wanted to know why they were not invited to the table. Staff explained that the TOD workshop was held specifically to develop a "marketing piece" for our Washington D.C. lobbyists for showcasing the merits of our project during the senate appropriations of the FHWA grant funding. By focusing on getting Boeing, Renton, Metro and Sound Transit on board as partners at that meeting, we also increased our chances of obtaining a share of the grant funds in D.C. Staff also expressed that the City intends to include extensive public participation from property owners and businesses in the area throughout the planning process. Upon getting our consultants on board, one of the first tasks will be to hold a public meeting and revisit the preliminary vision developed at the 2001 workshop. • Concern was expressed regarding the length of time a moratorium is likely to be in place, and the subsequent affect on property owners ' ability to sell or develop their properties. Staff noted that the planning process is anticipated to take 12 to 18 months. During this period, Staff will be reporting to the Council on various aspects of the planning process, including market and financial feasibility of alternatives considered. The Council will use this information when revisiting the 2 _J moratorium every six months, beginning in March, 2003 to determine if the moratorium should be renewed, repealed or revised. • During the time the moratorium is in place, property owners wanted greater flexibility in developing their properties than the moratorium allows. Is it possible to revisit the list of affected uses and activities in the Ordinance to determine if any, over the long term, may assist with (or at least not hinder) the implementation of a TOD? Attendees suggested that commercial parking lots could be an interim use and redeveloped once the TOD plan is in place. Commercial parking lots are currently not permitted under the moratorium. Staff noted that the level of investment necessary for developing commercial parking (e.g., paving, landscaping) could be large enough as to potentially discourage future redevelopment of that property. • Developers who were in the process of submitting permits expressed frustration that no "heads up" had been given on the imminent adoption of a moratorium, and, under the provisions of the moratorium, their project is now not permitted. Why was a moratorium adopted now without any prior Council discussion on the issue? Staff explained that the purpose of a moratorium is to preserve the status quo for a limited period of time. This legitimate purpose can be easily thwarted by advance publicity. The appropriateness of enacting a moratorium without advance public notice is clearly recognized by state law which provides for enactment of a moratorium prior to a public hearing, and reconsideration after the hearing. Options and Recommendation Council Options: 1. Take no action. (Moratorium remains in effect until March, 2003. Staff periodically updates the Council on the planning process during this time period.) 2. Revise the moratorium. 3. Repeal the moratorium. Recommendation: Council takes no action. (Moratorium remains in effect until March, 2003. Staff periodically updates the Council on the planning process during this time period.) Proposed Next Steps 1. Council holds a public hearing on the moratorium on October 28, 2002 and renews, revises or repeals Ordinance No. 1966. 2. Council revisits the moratorium five months (March, 2003) and renews, revises or repeals Ordinance No. 1966. 3 z _� ;I- z � W J O 0 co C3 cn J H w g? a = W _ z �- z I- w O N CI I-- w w O ' z w U2 O I . z NOTICE OF INFORMATIONAL OPEN 'HOUSE AND PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Tukwila City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, October 28, 2002 at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Tukwila City Hall, 6200 Southcenter Blvd., Tukwila, to consider the following: An ordinance creating a six -month moratorium on acceptance of applications for certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for Transit - Oriented Development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail/Amtrak station at Longacres.
