Minutes: Commissioner Alfordmade a motion to adopt the minutes from the February 28th, 2013 meeting.Commissioner Maestasseconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. Chair Strander opened the public hearing at 6:35pm for the following application: CASE NUMBER: L12-046 APPLICANT: Bob Fadden on behalf of Wayne Jones REQUEST:Public Hearing Design Review to consider the construction of a 17,000 square foot commercial structure with associated parking on 2.35 acres within Commercial/Light Industrial District. The proposed use of the building is warehouse and office. th LOCATION: 4501 S. 134Pl Chair Strander swore in those wishing to testify. Staff asked the Board of Architectural Review members the Appearance of Fairness questions. Brandon Miles ,Senior Planner, Department of Community Development, gave the staff presentation. He explained that this project was originally approved in 2007 and a major modification to add an additional story was approved in 2008. However the design review approval has expired as the construction did not commence within three years of the design review approval. He clarified that the review of the current application is based on current regulations. The project was previously issued a Special Permission decision by the Director to reduce the stream buffer from 100 feet to 50 feet. The buffer has already been planted and the monitoring period has started. th He described the site characteristics. The subject site is about 2.3 acres and is accessed from S. 134Pl. There is no access fromMacadam Road. The building is proposed in the middle of the site and includes a mix of materials, modulation and earth tone colors. He circulated two colored elevations and the materials board. The proposed building height is 32.5 feet and the mechanical equipment is screened by the parapet. Staff recommended approval of the project with ten conditions as listed in the staff report dated March 8, 2013. The conditions of approval included the following: roof will utilize non-glare finishes and colors; location of bicycle parkingshall be approved as part of building permit review; fence shall be placed on the inside of the perimeter landscaping; gate shall be added to the fence; a new fence shall be installed along Macadam Rd S; and the dumpster enclosure shall be painted to match the building. Page 1 of 3 BAR Hearing Minutes March28, 2013 Commissioner Mann stated that she had visited the site and talked to the neighbors. Minnie Dhaliwal asked Commissioner Mann to disclose any ex-parte communications and asked the applicant if he objected to Commissioner Mann hearing the matter. Applicant stated he had no objections. Commissionersasked staff and the applicant some clarifying questions. Commission Mann asked if a new fence along Macadam Road will be installed; expressed concerns with the outdoor storage and screening from the adjacent residential properties; inquired about the height of the parking lot lights; asked if the landscaping along the access roadmet code requirements;and expressed concerns with the noise generated by the refrigerated trucksin the area. Commissioner Alford expressed concerns with the proposed parking lot trees that are columnar and therefore do not provide much shade. Commissioner Maestas asked about the Type 2 stream; if any grading activities are planned thatwould disturb the contaminated soil; if the stream buffer was designed to mitigate surface toxins from reaching the stream; any offsite impacts from the proposed lights;and if there were any plans to remove the existing trees. Commissioner Strander stated that the original application was for atwo story building and the modification approved in 2008addeda third story, but the current application is only for a two story building; inquired if the planting of the stream buffer was complete; and how the existing trees will be protected during construction. Bob Fadden , the applicant addressed the questions. He stated that due to topography difference of 33 feet from the site to the residential area up abovethere will be a 10 foot high retaining wall that should help screen outdoor storage. He said the owner will not have a problem with planting some evergreens to provide additional screening if that is desired. The Department of Ecology has issued a No Further Action Order for the soil contamination issues.He stated that the enhanced stream buffer helps shade the stream and it would not have been possible if the stream was left in its current state. In 2008 the owner had planned to build apent house on thethird story, butthe current proposal does not include one. There is an underground storm water storage system already in place and includes 8 foot deep settling pond with a filter. The materials stored outside will be placed on crushed rock surfaceand there will be cameras to prevent theft.Regarding the requirement for larger canopy trees he stated that staff has a good handle on the issue, although he would not desire any storm water issues due to a lot of fallen leaves. He also said that theproject would comply with lighting standards. There was no public testimony. The public hearing was closed. The BARdeliberatedand decided to take a vote on the specific motions addressing each of the additional conditionsbeing considered.The three additional conditions being considered were: screening from residential properties; parking lot trees; and off site glare from the parking lot lights. Motion #1: Commissioner Strandermade a motion to add a condition to plant five evergreen trees along Macadam Road to provide better screening for the residential homes, provided there is no objection from the property owners.Commissioner Maestas seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion #2: Commissioner Alford made a motion to add a condition to replace the columnar trees in the parking lot with trees that have a larger canopy, in order to provide more shade, and the landscaping plan to be reviewed by staff as part of the building permit review process.Commissioner Mann seconded the motion. All were in favor Page 2 of 3 2 BAR Hearing Minutes March28, 2013 Motion #3: Commissioner Mann made a motion to add a condition to shield the parking lot lights to prevent any off-site glare spill-over to the adjoining properties. Commissioner Alford seconded themotion. All were in favor. FINAL MOTION: COMMISSIONER ALFORD MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE CASE NUMBER L12-046DESIGN REVIEW WITH STAFF’S FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, ANDCONDITIONS AS AMENDEDBY MOTION #1, 2 AND 3. COMMISSIONER MANN SECONDED THE MOTION. ALL WERE IN FAVOR. DIRECTOR’S REPORT: Staff informed the Commission about the upcoming items for the next meeting included Comprehensive Plan amendments to the Utilities and Capital Facilities Element. Staff informed the Commission that Boundary Review Boardhad denied Tukwila’s Notice of Intent to Annex Area Q of the North Highline Annexation area.

Master Sign Program Criteria 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 Tukwila, Washington 98188 Phone 206-431-3670 Fax 206-431-3665 Public Comments Notice of this application was posted on site and mailed on February 8, 2013 to all property owners, tenants,and businesses within 500 feet of the subject property. No comments have been received on the application. Background Proposed Use The subject site will be developed with permanent improvements that support the Sounder Commuter Rail service and the Amtrak interregional service. Improvements include a bus transfer facility, new paved parking lot, permanent platforms, shelters at the bus transfer facility and on the platforms, The proposal received an unclassified use permit and design review approval from the City Council in September 2012. Sign Code Application Any sign discernible from any adjacent premise or public right of way must receive a sign permit prior to installation. Visibility of the site is limited. Strander Boulevard will be approximately 10 feet below the as it is being designed to go under the railroad tracks; the 10-12 foot tall railroad berms limit discernibility from properties to the east and west; and Longacres Way and the property to its north are the remaining sites where there is discernibility. (The railroad right of way and railroad passengers are considered to be exempt.) Attachment A is a vicinity map. Attachment F is a Master Sign Program Eligibility commercial zoning district and per the Sign Code is allowed to apply for a Master Sign Program (19.32.020 TMC.) The Master Sign Program provides an applicant the opportunity to increase the sign area and size, andthe number of directional signs. The Board of Architectural Review may also approve roof signs and other unique forms of signs as part of a Master Sign Program. age can be organized into twogeneral types of signs: Station Signagethat is any sign that identifies the name of the Station; and Directional Signagethat is any sign that directs users to the correct location on site for parking, transit use, bicycle access and parking, platform access, and off-site support services and amenities. Station Signage Freestanding Sign Standards Each premise in the City is allowed one monument sign per the Sign Code or two if there are multiple street frontages. This 10.8 acre site has two streets that provide access to the site Longacres Way and Strander Boulevard. Page 2of 7 6 The definition of a monument sign is as follows: Monument Sign means a sign supported by at least two posts or columns or with a base that extends at least 75 percent of the sign panel length. Monument sings may also consist of painted text or channel letters mounted on a freestanding seating wall or retaining wall where the total height of the structure meets the limitation s of this code. (19.08.170 TMC) In addition to total number, there is a required setback, maximum height, width, maximum message area and sign area and requirement to contain the site address for each freestanding sign. There are a total of three freestanding signs proposed, two Sound Transit A2.0 monument signs and one Amtrak monument sign, which is a sign that is typically used at all Amtrak unmanned stations. The second Sound Transit monument sign is located in the center of the site and itsvisibility is expected to be limited and therefore does not require a sign permit. Attachment B is a site plan for the development showing the locations of the three freestanding signs. The Sound Transit monument sign is 17.5 feet tall and contains blades extending from a single pole with a total message area of 46 square feet and total sign area of 61 square feet. A monument sign for this site would typically be limited to seven feet in height and 100 square feet in total area. (Permanent Free-Standing Signage in Commercial/Industrial Zones 19.20.040 TMC) (Attachment C is an elevation of the proposed sign.) The Amtrak freestanding sign is six feet 10 inches tall and 40.25square feet in sign area. (Attachment D is an elevation of the proposed sign.) Directional Signage Non traffic related directional signage is typically limited to four or up to eight with approval through the Master Sign Program. The Tukwila Sign Code addresses directional signage in the Exceptions - Sign Permit Not Required section of the Sign Code (19.12.030(4) and (10) TMC.) Most of the proposed signs are considered - (4) traffic signs - installed by a public entity (Sound Transit and King County Metro) for the purpose of regulating and directing traffic. Signs installed under the exception are intended to meet the requirements of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The number of signs at the Station site is approximately 150. Most of these signs are not discernible from off-premise, that is, the sign may be visible but due to its size, its message is not. The directional signage is todirect bus, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Master Sign Program Application Allowable modifications with review by the Board of Architectural Review (19.32.060 TMC) There are both decision criteria for Master Sign Programs and maximum size standards for Grand Monument signs.Grand Monument Signs can be approved if they comply with: A.) Standards (19.32.060 (A) and (B) TMC;) and B.) Master Sign Program Decision Criteria (19.32.040 TMC.) Page 3of 7 A.Standards The following standards must be met: Only allowed in the TUC and TVS zoning districts The site is located within a TUC district Each grand monument sign is allowed as a substitute for one of the monument signs allowed to be installed on the premises. The site is allowed two freestanding signs that are discernible per the Permanent Free-standing Signage in Commercial/Industrial Zones section of the Sign Code. The property is allowed the additional monument sign because it has two street frontages Longacres Way and Strander Boulevard. (19.20.040 TMC) Any poles or columns supporting the sign have an architectural treatment such as brick, stone or wood cladding that is consistent with the design ofthe buildings on site. The material palette for the site includes poured concrete, white tile and metal. The Amtraksign is painted metal and glass in aconcrete base. The Sounder sign is also painted metal in a concrete base. The sign message may be increased up to 100 square feet per side or 200 feet total and the limitation on structure size is removed. The message area of the Amtrak sign is 40 square feet per side with two sides and the Sound Transit sign is a three dimensional sign with 46 square feet of sign area. The sign structure must be set back from the side and rear property lines of the premises a distance equal to the height increase requested or five feet whichever is greater. The minimum front setback is the small of the front yard required in the zoning district or the height increase requested. The allowable height limit for freestanding signs is based upon the total right of way of the site.The total linear length of right of way for this project was calculated using the property lines between the railroad rights of way on the north (295 feet) and south (325feet) ends of the site. Longacres Way is a privately owned and managed shared access easement. The Longacres Way public right of way ends at Puget the west of the UP tracks parcels. The northern parcel has a small piece to the east of the UP, which is visible on Attachment A the Vicinity Map. The property edge between the UP and the BNSF was also used. The total right of way from these two lengths equals 620 linear feet, which establishes the following permitted sign message area. Allowable message area60 sq.ft. per side Allowable sign size80 sq. ft. per side Maximum heightSeven feet Page 4of 7 8 1 Total number of free-standing signsTwo Total height of the sign structure may not exceed the height of the tallest building on the premises, except for sites over 85 acres, the height may exceed the tallest building but shall not exceed 115 feet. The 24 foot tall canopy over the western staircase is the tallest structure on the site. No more than two grand monument signs are allowed on the premises. Staff thinks that the second Sound Transit sign located 900 feet from Longacres Way will not be discernible and therefore does not need a sign permit and is not subject to the Sign Code regulations. The BAR is only reviewing the one Sound Transit freestanding sign along Longacres Way. B.Master Sign Program Decision Criteria AMaster Sign Program may be approved if all of the following criteria are met ((19.32.040 TMC.) The F. 1.The Master Sign Program meets the intent of the Sign Code as well or better than the signage allowed under the standard code provisions. The intent of the Sign Code is to: have streets that appear orderly and safe, because clutter is minimized; have signs that enhance the visual environment because they are in harmony with building and landscape design; allow business identification; and allow signs that utilize high quality construction materials, fine architectural detailing, harmonious proportions and that serve a multi-modal environment. The 10.8 acre Sound Transit site is secluded from City streets due to the railroad berms, the lowered elevation of the Strander Boulevard extension and the lack of accessibility to the east from Longacres Way. The most impacted by the site signage is the property to the north of the site, which is currently vacant but had previously been the subject of a multi-family apartment building. The sign area for the proposed grand monument sign is approximately a third of what is allowed on the site. The request is a deviation from the maximum height limit of 7 feet. 2.The requested deviations from the code respond to the specific characteristics or use of the premises. 1 A property that borders on more than one public street, has less than 800 total linear frontage, has at least 200 feet of frontage and each street provides access, may have one monument sign per street frontage. Page 5of 7 Sound Transit has created a uniform signage program that is implemented region wide. The purpose of their signage is to brand their system, have the signage identifiable system wide and have consistency across multiple jurisdictions. The proposed freestanding sign meets the standards established for grand The message primarily relies on graphics to convey the necessary information. 3.The program complies with the applicable standards in this chapter. The signage complies with the sign code if the signs are modified to meet the proposed conditions. The o be added to the freestanding signs and modification of the one of the sign panels is suggested in order for the definition of monument sign to be met. 4.The existing and proposed signage is integrated with an overall lighting scheme for the project site to create a safe, lively and inviting nighttime environment if the site is in a commercial zone. There is no specific lighting proposed for the signs, the applicant instead is relying on overall site lighting to provide readability during nighttime hours. The site, parking lot, and driveway lighting ranges from .5 to 3.0 foot-candles at ground level. Under the transit shelters the lighting increases to a range of from 6.4- 12.4 foot-candles. The train platforms are highest with ranges from 6-16 foot-candles. 5.No sign related code enforcement violations on the premises for at least one year prior to submitting the Master Sign Program application, There have been no code enforcement violations for the past year nor are there any active violations on thepremises. 6.The program must contain a schedule for the removal of all non-conforming signs on the premise within three years from the date of the Master Sign Program approval. No signage exists on the vacant site other than the Land Use Application board which may be removed after the appeal period has expired on this decision. Conclusions The proposal meets the intent of the Sign Code. In order to meet the definition of a monument sign, and not appear as a pole sign, one of the sign panels should be integrated with the sign base. The proposal meets the standards for a Master Sign Program: Page 6of 7 10 if the address is attached to the sign per the Permanent Free Standing Signage in Commercial Industrial Zones Section #5 Address section. (19.20.040(5) TMC) and ifthe design of the sign is modified to have some portion of the sign area along the base in order Decision ation for a Master Sign Program subject to administrative approval for: 1.; and 2.Modification of one of the three panels such that it extends down and touches the base. After approval of a Master Sign Program, no permanent signs may be erected, placed, painted or maintained, except in conformance with such plan and such plan shall be enforced in the same way as any provision of the Sign Code. The Master Sign Program shall be recorded on the property title.

The signage within the project that falls within the allowances under City of Tukwila ( "CoT ") Title 19 Sign and Visual Communication Code ( "Sign Code "). The Station serves passengers from Sounder, Amtrak, King County Metro buses and Rapid Ride, Vanpool services, and vehicular traffic for the park and ride. The Station will also serve pedestrian and bicycle traffic from Longacres Way, Boeing, and a potential future pedestrian trail system in planning by the City of Tukwila. The overall site is 10.5 acres, and all of the development within the Station project is at the northern 6.8 acres adjacent to Longacres way. The site is within the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) / Commercial zoning. The site is bounded by the elevated Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad embankment with Station platforms at the east edge of the site, the Union Pacific (UP) Railroad embankment and a new "Western Access Driveway" at the west edge, at the north edge by Longacres Way, a street owned half by ST and half by the City of Tukwila, and the south end is bounded by the Seattle Public Utilities Cedar River Pipeline and the adjoining ST property to the south. The site grade increases gently from Longacres way towards the south end of the development. There are two signs at the site that are designated "Grand Monument Signs under the Master Sign Program: • ST Type A2.0 "Transit Beacon" • Amtrak Sign Type All "Station Information" Attachments to the application include: • Site Plans o Exhibit 1.1- TK -CM.03 — A2.0 Transit Beacon at Longacres o Exhibit 1.2 - TK -CM.06 — All Amtrak Sign at Main Entry Stairs o Exhibit 1.3 - TK-CM.01 — A2.0 Transit Beacon at Strander Driveway connection • Amtrak All Sign o Exhibit 2.1— All "Platform Signage 4.22" Dimensions and Area calculations o Exhibit 2.2 — All Concrete Sign Base at Seat Wall o Exhibit 2.3 - 2.5: Additional Amtrak Sign Color & Materials • ST A2.0 Transit Beacon o Exhibit 3.1- A2.0 "Transit Beacon Minor" Area Calcs, Colors & Materials o Exhibit 3.2 - A2.0 Cast Metal Structural Base o Exhibit 3.3 - A2.0 Concrete Base Due to the scale of type face on the signage and distance from the road, the bulk of signs within the Station are pedestrian oriented and non - discernable from the Right of Way. The remainder KPFF Consulting Engineers 1 Master Sign Program Application - Narrative 30 of signage is Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) compliant, regulatory signage. 19.32.010 INTENT OF MASTER SIGN PROGRAM (ORD. 2303 §9, 2010) The Master Sign Program is intended to provide a voluntary process to allow for adaptation of the standard provisions of the Sign Code to the specific needs of larger sites. The signs approved through this process must be integrated into a cohesive design and communication approach for the site, while continuing to meet the overall intent of the Sign Code listed in Section 19.04.020. Signs permitted under this chapter may only list on premise businesses, products and uses. 19.32.020 ELIGIBILITY (ORD. 2303 §9, 2010) Property owners of premises that meet one of the following conditions may apply for approval of a Master Sign Program to customize the standard Sign Code requirements to their specific site conditions: The Station is designated an Essential Public Facility within commercial or industrial zones and is thus eligible under the Master Sign Program. 19.32.040 CRITERIA (ORD. 2303 §9, 2010) A Master Sign Program may be approved if all of the following criteria are met: 1. The Master Sign Program meets the intent of the Sign Code as well or better than the signage allowed under the standard code provisions. The signage at the Station meets the intent of the sign code. 19.04.020 INTENT (ORD. 2303 §1, 2010) The purpose of this code is to enhance the City's aesthetic character; to protect the public health, safety and welfare; and to increase the effectiveness of visual communication in the City by providing opportunities for Tukwila businesses, residents and property owners to display signage. The regulations for signs have the following specific objectives: 1. To have signs that attract and invite rather than demand the public's attention along the City's streetscapes. All of the signage within the site is based on Sound Transit, Amtrak, King County Metro, and Washington State Department of Transportation standards. The signs are not unique, and are all used throughout the region at Sound Transit facilities. They serve the basic requirements of a transit center through familiarity, placement and uniformity. KPFF Consulting Engineers 2 Master Sign Program Application - Narrative 31 The bulk of new signage is significantly set back from the streetscape, and is pedestrian oriented and non - discernable from Longacres Way due to the small scale of typeface. The signage is grouped in orderly fashion throughout the site. All signage serves the specific basic needs of information, direction, and safety of a transit center. 2. To have streets that appear orderly and safe, because clutter is minimized. Signage throughout the site is minimized and arranged in orderly and logical locations. Orderly and safe signage arrangement with minimized clutter is also a directive in the ST System -Wide Signage Manual. 3. To have signs that enhance the visual environment of the City, because they are in harmony with building architecture and landscape design. As a transit center and Sounder Station, the Station utilizes Sound Transit standard signage, including familiar logos and colors for patron recognition. The standard signs are made of high quality finished metals, the poles or other supports have clean lines, and fit with the small scale, streamlined painted steel structures throughout the site. 4. To allow business identification that is not unduly hindered by regulatory standards. The Station (with the exception of Amtrak) houses no commercial activities. However, this intent can apply to a transit center. Similar to a number of businesses within a developed city block, each mode of transportation fostered at the Station (Park and Ride, pedestrians, bicyclists, Sounder, Amtrak and King County Metro buses) needs proper signage to promote safety, provide directions spaced logically throughout site circulation, and provide readily available information to transit patrons. 5. To ensure typical communication and civic discussion is fostered in the City's residential neighborhoods. The zoning at the Station is Tukwila Urban Center. There are no adjacent parcels zoned for residential. 6. To allow signs that utilize high quality construction materials, fine architectural detailing, harmonious proportionality, and that serve a multi -modal environment. The Intent of the Code is to minimize cheap, unsightly or cluttered signs from street or public view. All signage within the project is high quality materials and installation according to Sound Transit standards. All signage will serve the specific purpose of directing pedestrian, passenger vehicle, and transit traffic. With the exception of the Amtrak sign, the site will have no commercial signage. No specialized or non - standard signage will be used at the Station. KPFF Consulting Engineers 3 Master Sign Program Application - Narrative 32 (Master Sign Permit Criteria, Cont.) 2. The requested deviations from the code respond to the specific characteristics or use of the premises. Both the A2.0 Transit Beacon and the All Station Information signs are standards used at Sounder and Amtrak passenger rail stations. Both are required by Sound Transit and Amtrak at the Station. The requested deviations are minimal compared to what is allowed by the Sign Code. 3. The program complies with the applicable standards in this chapter. See description of compliance under 19.08.170 "Monument Sign" and 19.32.060 "Allowable Modifications Under a Master Sign Program" below. 4. The existing and proposed signage is integrated with an overall lighting scheme for the project site to create a safe, lively and inviting night -time environment if the site is in a commercial zone. The overall lighting scheme is designed to provide appropriate foot candles as determined by Sound Transit lighting standards, for the various areas of use: Platforms, ramps, stairs, sidewalks or other walkways, Pedestrian Plaza and Transit drop -off, Roadways. The signage is similarly placed according to use. The A2.0 Transit Beacon is located at the main entrance and is illuminated by street lighting from both Longacres and from the Western Access Drive. The All Station Information is located adjacent to the main stairs to the west platform, and is illuminated by the pedestrian level lighting at the plaza. Both the Transit Beacon and the Amtrak sign are standards used at all ST and Amtrak facilities. Neither of these signs has integral lighting. 5. No sign- related code enforcement violations on the premises for at least one year prior to submitting the Master Sign Program application. In compliance. 6. The program must contain a schedule for the removal of all non - conforming signs on the premise within three years from the date of Master Sign Program approval. Not applicable. 19.08.170 "Monument Sign" Monument Sign means a sign supported by at least two posts or columns or with a base that extends at least 75 percent of the sign panel length. Monument signs may also consist of painted text or channel letters mounted on a freestanding seating wall or retaining KPFF Consulting Engineers 4 Master Sign Program Application - Narrative 33 wall where the total height of the structure meets the limitations of this code.(Ord. 2303 §2, 2010) Per discussion with Tukwila Planning and Development, the following two signs fall under the category of Monument Sign: (1) Amtrak All Station Information at Main Stairs (1) A2.0 Transit Beacon at entrance to Access Drive The additional A2.0 Transit Beacon is set back over 900 feet from Longacres Way. The sign is approximately 420 feet north of the southern property line with an additional 100 feet from the Strander Connection currently under construction. The sign is undiscernable from Longacres or the future Strander Boulevard. See Exhibits 1.1 -1.3 for locations of the signs. 19.20.040 PERMANENT FREE - STANDING SIGNAGE IN COMMERCIAL /INDUSTRIAL ZONES Monument signs are permitted within all commercial and industrial zones, subject to the following standards: 1. Design Standards. Each premise is permitted to have one free - standing monument - style sign. Additional monument signs are permitted if the premise contains over 800 feet of linear frontage on City or quasi - public streets, per Table 1 below. Table 1— Design Standards for Permanent Monument: Amtrak Sign Criteria: Total ROW of Premise: 400 -599 feet Longacres Way: UP ROW to BNSF ROW = 295 feet, BNSF ROW = 150 feet, Permanent Access Easement at Boeing property = 25 feet. Total frontage: 470 feet Allowable Sign Message Area: 50 square feet per side /100 square feet total Message Area: 40 square feet per side (see Exhibits 2.1— 2.5) Total Allowable Sign Size: 70 square feet per side /140 square feet Total Sign Size: 49 square feet per side Maximum Height: total 7 feet Height: 7' — 10" — see 19.32.060 "Allowable Modifications" below. KPFF Consulting Engineers 5 Master Sign Program Application - Narrative 34 Maximum Width: total 15 feet Width: 8' — 4 X" 2. Special Corner Properties or Properties with Multiple Street Frontages. A property that borders on more than one public street, but has less than 800 total feet of linear frontage, is permitted to have one monument sign per street frontage if the following criteria are met: The street frontage at Longacres Way is jointly owned by ST and the City. The Strander Connection Western Drive, across the western edge of the site, is also owned by Sound Transit, serves both transit and the public, and is considered a second frontage. The Western Drive will provide the only means of passage for vehicles using the "Strander Connection" currently under construction. a. The property has as at least 200 feet of frontage on each public street where a sign will be placed; In compliance b. Each public street provides direct access to the property; and In compliance c. For each separate street frontage Table 1 shall be used to determine the design standards for any proposed monument sign. Table 1— Design Standards for Permanent Monument: Type A.2 Transit Beacon Criteria: Total ROW of Premise: less than 400 feet Frontage at Strander Driveway Connection along UP ROW = approximately 900 feet. Frontage at Strander Connection = approximately 320 feet. Allowable Sign Message Area: 36 square feet per side /72 square feet total Message Area: 23 square feet per side (See Exhibits 3.1— 3.3) Total Allowable Sign Size: 54 square feet per side /108 square feet Total Sign Size: 31 square feet per side Maximum Height: total 6 feet Height: 14' -9" — see 19.32.060 "Allowable Modifications" below. Maximum Width: total 15 feet KPFF Consulting Engineers 6 Master Sign Program Application - Narrative 35 Width: 4' -7" 3. Setback. All monument signs shall be placed at a minimum of five feet from all property lines. No sign taller than three feet shall be placed within the sight distance triangle of an access point, unless it can be demonstrated the sign will not pose a safety issue by reducing visibility. The Amtrak sign is approximately 70 feet from the sidewalk, and the Transit Beacon is approximately 15 feet from the sidewalk. Neither sign reduces visibility for vehicle operators or pedestrians. The Amtrak sign is set well back from the street. The Transit beacon is set in an area where there is very limited right turn vehicle motion. The only cars turning right would be those accessing Boeing from the Strander Connection. Most traffic exiting the Access Road is turning left. The Transit Beacon has an extremely small sign area compared to that allowable for a grand monument sign. This area is further reduced since it has "four sides." Although the two sign faces (angled at 90 degrees) are counted in the total area for a single side, the full area is not actually visible from one direction. 4. Maximum Width. The maximum permitted width of a monument sign is 15 feet. In compliance. 5. Address. In order to facilitate emergency response, all new freestanding signs shall have the address number or address number range of the premise listed on the structure. The address shall not be counted toward the allowable sign message area limit. Address numbers must be plainly legible and visible from the street fronting the property. These numbers shall contrast with their background. Address numbers shall be Arabic numerals or alphabet letters. Numbers shall be a minimum of four inches high with a minimum stroke width of 1.5 inches. (Ord. 2303 §5, 2010) Sound Transit is in communication with the Tukwila Fire Department to determine the best location for emergency response information, and will implement the Fire Department's requirements. 19.32.060 Allowable Modifications Under a Master Sign Program (Ord. 2303 §9, 2010) A. Modifications to the following standards may be allowed under an administratively approved Master Sign Program: 1. Increase in monument sign total area of up to 25 percent. No increase in height permitted. KPFF Consulting Engineers 7 Master Sign Program Application - Narrative 36 No increase in sign area is required. 2. Increase in the area of a flush- mounted building sign, allowed per Section 19.20.050.A shall be allowed as follows: N/A B. In addition to the above - listed modifications, the following additional sign types may be allowed with Board of Architectural Review approval: 2. Grand monument signs, subject to the following standards: a. Grand monument signs may be allowed only within the TUC and TINS zones. The Station site is within the designated TUC. b. Each grand monument sign would substitute for one of the monument signs the premises is eligible to install under Section 19.20.040. There are two monument signs visible from Longacres Way under consideration, as allowed under the provisions for Special Corner Properties (above). c. Any poles or columns supporting the sign must have an architectural treatment such as brick, stone or wood cladding that is consistent with the design of the buildings on site. The Amtrak sign is placed integrally onto a low concrete "seat wall" adjacent to the main stairs to the west platform. The Transit Beacon has a low concrete base foundation, with a chamfered edge and smooth finish. The sign also has a cast metal base at the foundation attachment. The concrete base for each is consistent with the various low concrete walls throughout the site, and the chamfer matches the concrete curb at the "Art" installation. d. Sign message area may be increased up to 100 square feet per side, 200 square feet total and the limitation on structure size is removed. For sites over 85 acres, the sign message area may be increased up to 500 square feet per side, 1000 square feet total. No increase in sign area is required. e. The sign structure must be set back from the side and rear property lines of the premise a distance equal to the height increase requested or five feet, whichever is greater. The KPFF Consulting Engineers 8 Master Sign Program Application - Narrative 37 minimum front setback is the smaller of the front yard required in the zoning district or the height increase requested. The minimum setback for the Transit Beacon is 5 feet plus the additional sign height of 8.5 feet, or minimum setback of 13.5 feet. The Transit Beacon sign is located approximately 17 feet from the sidewalk, beyond the minimum required. The Amtrak sign is approximately 70 feet from the sidewalk. The minimum setback is 5 feet plus the additional height, or six feet, and the sign as well over this minimum. f. Total height of the sign structure may not exceed the height of the tallest building on the premises, except for sites over 85 acres, the height may exceed the tallest building but shall not exceed 115 feet. The height of the roof at the main stairs is approximately 25 feet above the pedestrian plaza. Both signs are well under this limit. g. No more than two grand monument signs are allowed per premises.

Its policies and land use map lay out the community's long range vision. The Comprehensive Plan has been amended periodically to keep up with changing requirements, and in response to amendment applications from the public. The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) gives Tukwila the opportunity to amend the Comprehensive Plan once a year, unless it is an emergency. Applications for amendments are due by December 31, and are reviewed during the following year, with the potential for two separate reviews by the City Council, and one by the Planning Commission. There are opportunities for public comment at each stage. In addition to these regular amendments, the state Growth Management Act (GMA) requires counties and cities to periodically conduct a thorough review of their plan and development regulations to bring them up to date with any relevant changes in the GMA and to respond to changes in land use and population growth. Although the basic structure of the GMA has remained intact over the years, the state legislature has amended it frequently. The last required systematic review and update was completed in 2004. At its meeting on February 25, 2013, the Planning Commission was briefed on the Growth Management Act, and the requirement for periodic review and update to the Comprehensive Plan and development regulations completed by June 30, 2015. The Comprehensive Plan elements are being considered in phases, and Tukwila is undertaking the required update effort over several years. To date, update work has been completed on the Manufacturing /Industrial Center element (6/11), and the goals and policies in the Shoreline element (8/11). On March 18, 2013, the City Council adopted a general schedule, work plan and public participation program to guide the Comprehensive Plan update work over the next two years, and referred the update to the Planning Commission. The public participation and work programs include a general sequence and schedule of steps in the update process to ensure that public is aware of the process and knows how they can participate. Public participation activities will not be uniform, but instead will be tailored to the characteristics of individual elements. On March 27, 2013 a public open house was held to share the Comprehensive Plan update process and key background issues with the community, and to learn specific concerns or interests. REVIEW PROCESS A work session on proposed changes to the Capital Facilities and Utilities elements will be held on April 23, 2013. At that time, staff will review the proposed elements with the Commission, concentrating on changes. There will be a public hearing on April 25, 2013 to receive comments from the community. The Commissioners will have an opportunity to consider public input carefully and propose further changes, if desired. After the hearing, the Planning Commission will be asked to make a recommendation that will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration, a public hearing and adoption. During the course of the update work, it is expected that the type of materials provided will be consistent for each individual element. The review for each element will include a work session and a public hearing. The City Council will hold its review and take action only after it receives the Planning RF Page 2 of 4 04/17/2013 42 Commission's recommendations for all the elements, because the Growth Management Act allows the Comprehensive Plan to be amended no more than once each year unless there is an emergency. The remaining elements will be reviewed during 2014, and adopted before the June 30, 2015 deadline. The Comprehensive Plan update includes the following assumptions: • Primary goals and objectives remain relevant and will be maintained from the current Plan; • Updates will focus on elements that require revision per changes to the Washington Growth Management Act, and Countywide Planning Policies; • Tukwila Strategic Plan's vision and goals will be reflected and incorporated in the Comprehensive Plan; • Policies and descriptions will be updated, simplified and edited to increase clarity and consistency throughout the document; • The format will be updated to improve on -line functionality and attractiveness; • The document's elements may be reorganized or consolidated for greater readability and conciseness SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES Capital Facilities Element: The proposed policies and implementation strategies clarify priorities for capital facilities expenditures, and align them more closely with adopted regional growth targets, and Tukwila's goals and priorities. Policy changes include: • Move and consolidate Capital Improvement Program policies with Comprehensive Plan policies. • Modify and add policies to include regional priorities, as well as the priorities that residents expressed in Tukwila's Strategic Plan (2012). • Use a decision matrix that selects projects that implement Comprehensive Plan Goals. • Establish the following order of priorities for the City's capital facilities: 1. Regular inspection of systems for evaluation and to ensure conformity with current safety standards; 2. Prioritizing projects when making improvements if the public health and safety is at risk; 3. Preventive maintenance and cost effective replacement of aging elements; and 4. Planning for the orderly extension and upgrading of capital systems • Link growth targets and level of service standards with facility planning. Utilities Element: The proposed changes primarily update, reorganize, consolidate and /or clarify existing policies and implementation strategies. Issue statements have been updated to add discussion of neighborhood and subarea vitality, systems maintenance, and sustainability. Policy changes include: • Modify or change policy wording to further regional priorities for environmental sustainability and compact development, and /or incorporate the priorities that residents expressed in RF Page 3 of 4 04/17/2013 43 Tukwila's Strategic Plan (2012). • Relocate flood management policies that are now found in the Utilities element to the Capital Facilities, Natural Environment and Roles and Responsibilities elements where they are more appropriate, and to avoid duplication. • Clarify requirements to place electric and telecommunication utilities underground, rather than overhead by specifying that : 1. All new electrical and communication utilities shall be undergrounded unless the City Council determines that it is not financially practical; and 2. Utility relocations that are necessitated by a public works project shall be underground unless it is not in the best public interest. • Provide guidance for careful trimming of vegetation near electric utilities MATERIALS AND FORMAT The packet contains: 1. A "clean," newly- formatted version of the element that shows all the proposed additions and deletions from the strikeout /underline version. This version reflects the appearance of the updated Comprehensive Plan; 2. A complete strikeout /underline version of the proposed element with all language that has been added to and /or deleted from the "base" of the current Comprehensive Plan element. This version shows the rationale for proposed changes, and lets the reader follow the revision process. New language is shown in blue, and deleted wording is shown in green /grey: 3. A Background Report that provides additional supporting information for the element and policies. These materials are intended to encourage discussion and provide background. REQUESTED ACTION The Planning Commission is asked to hold a hearing on the proposed changes to the Capital Facilities and Utilities Elements, develop PC recommended versions of the elements and forward them to the City Council for final action.

Tukwila relies on other public and private agencies to provide many of these services. Sewer, water, surface water management, solid waste, electricity, natural gas, and telecommunications are addressed in this Element. The Utilities Element profiles both City and non -City owned utilities operating within Tukwila. Sewer and water service are provided by the City, adjacent municipalities, and special districts. Surface water drainage is managed locally, but with interjurisdictional cooperative planning and management. The remaining utilities are provided to residents and businesses through franchise agreements between the City and service providers. The Utilities Element establishes a basis for decision - making that is consistent with Washington's Growth Management Act, the Puget Sound Regional Council's Vision 2040, and King County's Countywide Planning Policies, including targets for housing units and employment, which are a basis for determining demand for utility services and infrastructure. These state and regional requirements are fulfilled by the Utilities Background Report, Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan, Comprehensive Water Plan, and Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan.

These requirements are fulfilled by the foVVowing documents: • Utilities Background Report • Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan • Comprehensive Water Plan • Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan documents, along with the six -year Capital Improvement Program and the City of Tukwila budget, are adopted by reference in the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan. SSu ES Several key issues in meeting the utility needs of the City are addressed in this Utilities Element: • Service Extensions. Planned extensions of utility services are based on existing need or to accommodate planned growth or growth targets. • Coordination of Service Providers. The City - managed utilities must coordinate with adjacent providers that provide utility services to portions of the City. Coordination among Tukwila's three non -City sewer and five non -City water districts is critical. • Concurrency and Implications for Growth. Utility projects and other capital facilities must be developed so that improvements are in place by the time they are needed to meet growth and to accommodate growth targets. • Environmental Sustainability. Utility planning and operations require environmental protection and restoration efforts to preserve the quality of the natural environment and its contributions to human health and vitality • Residential Neighborhood and Sub -Area Vitality. Utility investments affect neighborhood quality of life and the ability to realize established visions for specific sub -areas • System Rehabilitation, Replacement and Retrofit. Much of the City's utility infrastructure has reached or is near its life expectancy. Rehabilitation or replacement of these systems are needed to ensure their continued reliability. Federal, state and, local polices require utility system improvements to comply with new regulations. 7 VJIKWIIII...A C®INBIPIRIFIHIFIWSIIVIF All ID..1111... 47201 3 sysuni ES WATER AND SEWER The City of Tukwila purchases all of its water from the Cascade Water Alliance under a contract through the year 2064. Tukwila's Comprehensive Water System Plan identifies areas of water supply and distribution deficiency, and the six -year Capital Improvement Plan proposes corrective improvements. The Tukwila sewer system is exclusively a collector system with no treatment component. King County DNRP Wasterwater Treatment Division provides Regional wastewater treatment at the South Treatment Plant in Renton. The Comprehensive Sewer System Plan identifies deficiencies in the system, and corrective improvements are proposed in the six -year Capital Improvement Plan. Certain areas of the City are served by other water and sewer providers, which develop their own plans in coordination with the City of Tukwila. Tukwila's Comprehensive Water System and Sewer System Plans are adopted by reference as part of the Comprehensive Plan. Those system plans identify present and future improvements, establish certain required levels of service, and priorities for system improvements. Level of service standards are also established by applicable Board of Health regulations, the Uniform Plumbing Code, and the Uniform Fire Code. Consistent with State mandates, Tukwila revises and updates system plans to assure consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, and the Capital Improvement Program. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT Tukwila's surface water drainage system consists of both drainage improvements and the natural drainage of the area. Except for a small area in the Ryan Way neighborhood, drainage is ultimately to the Green /Duwamish River. Figure 12 -3 illustrates the locations of surface water management facilities. The Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan contains an inventory of existing facilities, identifies current system deficiencies, and planned improvements. It evaluates the system under present development conditions and identifies remedies for segments of the system where problems exist or are likely to develop in the future as a result of growth and development. Proposed improvements are included in the Six -Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). .8 7 VJKtN ...A C®INBIPIRIFIHIIFIWSIIVIF P...AW UPDATIOE [) API ..II... 16, 2013 12 11111 1111 11`1 I`1 111111`1111111 1111 1111 111 111 4111 1111 1111 111 111 111 111 111.111 111 111 `1111`11 `1111 `1111111 `111 `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� `11� 11`1111`111111 `11 `11.....,. d��1�1�1�1X111��111��1111 X1111 X111111111111 X11 1�d1111�1111 1111 1111 111 4111 4111 111 111 4111 d111��111�d111� 111�t11 � (1 �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1� �1���111��111�1v11 x,11 �1 Emergency SS Seat'le Intertie 99S irector SI Lake'` Washington Supply Station 10A (Oxbow) King County Emergency SS Seattle Intertie Supply Station 09 Supply Station 10 ( ; , (Ryan Hill) (East Marginal) �599 W1125 -WD20 Intertie WD 125 Intertie (131st PI) Kin q County WD125 - Seattle - Skyway Interties WD 125 - Tukwila Intertie North Hill Pump Station, Reservoir, ■ and PRV WD125 - Tukwila Intertie WD125 - Seattle Interties 518 enton Highline Crestview Pump Highline Crestview Reservoir 000011111111111611 S SS 14 (West Valley) Supply Station 13 (Southcenter) Highline McMicken Pump & Well (1 -5' HI hline Water District Intertie 3' j/ t,a Rention Intertie Kent Intertie 0.5 0.25 0 0.5 Miles S204St Map 12 -1: Water Districts 7 VJIKWIIII...A COMPIRIFIHIIFNSIIVIF IPII...AIW UPII)ATIE ID..

"U0, 2013 51 Tuuur ling Waste into Energy King County's Cedar Hills Landfill, which is the destination for much of Tukwila's solid waste, is also the site of the nation's third - largest landfill gas energy project. Methane gas from garbage is processed and purified, then sold to Puget Sound Energy power plants to be used to generate electricity. Converting landfill gas to electricity in this way reduces the landfill's greenhouse gas emissions and provides additional revenue to the County's Solid Waste Division, keeping disposal rates low for residents across King County. 1 �i rYpl� �YU�WIUiDmr�N;�IDuu��n JJJJJ9l,»J %;;;; Image source: King County Solid Waste Division 52 The City reviews and updates its Surface Water Management Plan regularly to assure consistency with this Plan, State and local regulations, the CI P, and other on- going City planning processes. SOLID WASTE Solid Waste collection, transportation, and disposal in Tukwila is governed by State and local regulations, an interlocal agreement with King County, and collection contracts with solid waste providers. Through a competitive multi -year contract with the City, Waste Management, Inc. provides comprehensive garbage, recyclables, and yard - waste collection services to residential, multi - family and commercial customers. Tukwila considered implementing mandatory garbage collection to curb illegal dumping, litter, and accumulation of trash /garbage on private property, but garbage collection remains voluntary. Approximately 75% of Tukwila residents subscribe to curbside garbage services and the remaining 25% either self -haul to King County's Bow Lake Transfer Station in Tukwila or use other disposal methods. The City's solid waste is ultimately taken to King County's Cedar Hills Landfill for disposal. As part of the Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with King County, Tukwila and other parties will develop plans and alternatives to waste disposal at Cedar Hills Landfill in advance of its closure in 2025. ELECTRIC PO Electric power involves both transmission systems and distribution systems. Tukwila's electric power is provided by Puget Sound Energy, with approximately 3,800 customers, and Seattle City Light, serving approximately 5,700 residential and 1,000 commercial customers in Tukwila. 7 VJIKWIIII...A C®INBIPIRIEIHIIEIWSIIVIE IPII...AIW U IIPII.1AU II': II.1, AIIPIIR..IIII... 16, 2013 12 King County Washington Buriei 10.5 0.25 0 "11,,h1111111111i11,.....h,,,h„,11111,,111111111111111P,h.h,, (599 9 County 0.5 Miles ' 1 204It 1 Map 12-4: Electric Service Areas 1UKW1111...A COMPRIEHENSIVIE P11...A14 U11111,DATI1111111 AIPIR IIII„„„ 16, 2013 Electrical Service Providers Legend A PSE Substation Existir PSE Substation FuturE 11111111111111 PSE Line Existing PSE Line Future SCL Trunk Line Electrical Service Area Puget Sound Energy Seattle City Light 53 Both companies operate under non - exclusive franchise agreements with the City. (Map 12 -4) Both utilities' existing plans to increase service prioritize energy conservation. Puget Sound Energy estimates that half of its long -term need for electric power can be met by energy efficiency and additional wind - power. The rest is likely to be met with added natural gas -fired resources. To meet future demand, some new transmission lines and substations will be built in Tukwila, and existing ones rebuilt and /or maintained. Distribution plans include line and station projects. Future distribution improvements will be required to meet the demands of Tukwila's projected growth. Seattle City Light's plans for future distribution capacity include additional feeder capacity that is expected to meet demand in Tukwila through the year 2031. Seattle City Light intends to meet electrical load growth through conservation and new generation resources powered by renewable energy. NATURAL GAS Puget Sound Energy, an investor -owned utility, builds, operates and maintains natural gas facilities serving approximately 3, 400 customers in Tukwila. Puget Sound Energy covers virtually all of Tukwila with their main distribution lines. The utility foresees no difficulties in meeting future demand during the planning period. No major improvement projects are planned at this time. Natural gas services areas in Tukwila are shown illustrated in Map 12 -5. TELECOMMUNICATIONS As telecommunications technologies have evolved, convergence of these technologies has occurred, resulting in multiple communication services migrating into consolidated networks. Telecommunications in Tukwila includes both wired and wireless telephone services, cable and satellite television, and high -speed broadband technology. Through partnerships with franchised telecommunications companies, internal public works projects and completion of capital projects, the City has a robust conduit infrastructure that would enable and facilitate future fiber optic connectivity projects benefitting the City, its residents and business, and project partners. The City has joined a connectivity consortium of cities, and other public partners that would construct and maintain a regional fiber -optic telecommunications system. This fiber -optic system would provide redundancies, enhance communications networks, and emergency operations. Cable and Satellite Television The City of Tukwila has a non - exclusive franchise agreement with Comcast Corporation to J4 7 VJIKWIIII...A COMPREHENSIVE IPII...AN UUI4311)AT Ih: 11.1: AI4 ID..IIIL.. 10, 20 10 12 King County Buriei 10.5 0.25 0 Lake' Washi'rJg.ton (599 28 St 0.5 Miles 111111111 A 2o4 st .(1( 0 Map 12-5: Natural Gas Service Area COMPREHENSIVIE UPIDA"I"ED APR IIII„„„ 16, 2013 Natural Gas Provider Legend High Pressure Lines PSE Service Area 55 What is Vo P? Voice over lnfernet Telephony (VoP) is a technology that allows voice communication over an interned connection, rather than a traditional phone network. VoP service is often offered as part of a bundle of services from an Internet provider, but it is also commercially available as a stand- alone service and is very popular for making international calls, due to its low cost compared to traditional long - distance service. 56 construct, operate, and maintain a cable system in compliance with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. Comcast's network provides high - definition television capacity and high -speed Internet access through cable modems, and includes coaxial and fiber optic cabling systems deployed underground and overhead using utility poles leased from power and telephone companies. Satellite television competes directly with cable television by delivering hundreds of channels directly to mini - dishes installed in homes and businesses throughout Tukwila. Wireline and Wireless Communications. Many companies offer telecommunications services including integrated voice and data, and voice over Internet telephony (VoiP) technology. Century Link, the Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier(ILEC) is now joined by several Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) in providing more communications service options to Tukwila residents and businesses. With new technologies, expansion of telecommunications infrastructure, and competition, telecommunications utilities are expected to meet voice, video, and broadband demands during the planning period. 7 VJIKWIIII...A C®INBIPIRIFIHIIFIWSIIVIF IPII...AIW UUII•pII.1AU II': IID, AIPIID..IIII... 16, 2013 G ►III , �►I Goal 12.1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII C ES Utility services and facilities that meet the community's current and future needs in a safe, reliable, efficient, economic, and environmentally responsible manner.

Surface Water Management Utility 12.1.21 Serve all Tukwila's residences and businesses with a surface water utility. 12.1.22 Provide capital, maintenance, education, and enforcement programs as a function of the storm and surface water management utility. 12.1.23 Require on -site detention or retention and treatment of surface water for both development and redevelopment projects, unless a regional facility benefiting a drainage basin is constructed or storage is provided in the Green /Duwamish River for previously treated surface water. 7 VJIKWIIII...A C®INBIPIRIFIHIIFIWSIIVIF IPII...AIW UUII•pII.1AU II': IID, AIPIID..IIII... 16, 2013 61 12.1.24 Apply an adopted surface water design manual as the minimum requirement for all development projects and other actions that could cause or worsen flooding, erosion, water quality, and habitat problems, for both upstream and downstream development. 12.1.25 Coordinate water quality improvement programs with adjoining jurisdictions whose surface waters flow into or through Tukwila. 12.1. 26 Use the Surface Water Fund to retrofit surface water systems to improve water quality and enhance fish passage by establishing: • A water quality program that prioritizes projects based on need, takes into account upstream land uses and Washington Department of Ecology expanded listing of impaired water bodies, and; • A fish passage program that prioritizes projects based on habitat needs, and compliance with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife requirements. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES • Establish a signage program identifying important surface drainage connections and corridors. • Regularly update a Surface Water Management Plan that addresses capital improvements and maintenance of storm water infrastructure, guides education programs, and meets regulatory requirements including the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II municipal permit. • Adopt and apply an approved Washington State Department of Ecology Surface Water Design Manual. • Develop a policy that provides consistent guidance for private vs. public ownership and maintenance requirements for residential surface water detention, water quality, and conveyance systems. 62 7 VJIKWIIII...A C®INBIPIRIFIHIIFIWSIIVIF IPII...AIW UUII•pII.1AU II': IID, AIPIID..IIII... 16, 2013 Utl ides not Operated by the City Aside from water, sewer, and surface water management, most utilities serving the residents of Tukwila are not owned or operated by the City. While the City can provide input on planning efforts for these utilities, it does not directly control service rates or the exact location of new infrastructure. Private utilities are required to obtain any City permits necessary to operate or install infrastructure within the City and roust corm *ly with all applicable City regulations. Image Source: Puget Sound Energy POLICIES FOR NON-CITY-OWNED UTILITIES Non - City -owned utilities develop strategic and operational plans with varying degrees of input and involvement from the City. They set capacity and service levels on an area - wide basis, and rely on the local government's involvement to ensure that capacity is sufficient. As a condition of applying for a permit, new development that uses non -City owned water and sewer utilities is re- quired to obtain a letter of service availability. This letter establishes that utility service meeting City standards is either available or will be available prior to occupancy. The electric power and natural gas utilities project adequate capacity during the 20 -year planning period, assuming re- sponsible use of these resources. Electric utility capacity is set regionally, with Tukwila's needs determined and provid- ed for as part of an area -wide system. Similarly, natural gas is provided via a regional delivery system. With new technologies, telecommunications utilities project virtually limitless capacity within the planning horizon. Through long term Interlocal Agreements (ILAs) the solid waste system will continue to be upgraded to meet Tuk- wila's current and future needs. The Cedar Hills Landfill ex- pects to reach full capacity in 2025. The current ILA which expires in 2040 addresseses the process that cities and King County will follow to develop disposal options prior to Cedar Hills Landfill reaching its full capacity. Tukwila and other suburban cities participate in planning and contribute to reaching regional goals via their recycling and waste reduction strategies and practices. 7 VJIKWIIII...A C®INBIPIRIFIHIIFIWSIIVIF IPII...AIW UPDATE I[) AP R.1111„„„ 6.a_+o 13 General Policies 12.1.27 Actively coordinate project implementation with individual utilities based upon Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan and development regulations. 12.1.28 Require new development that uses non -City owned water and sewer utilities to obtain a letter of service availability as a condition of receiving a Tukwila permit. 12.1.29 Require utilities operating in the right -of -way to obtain a franchise that includes service levels and requirements meeting Comprehensive Plan forecasts and other applicable federal, state and local regulations. 12.1.30 Encourage utilities to consolidate facilities, use existing transportation corridors and minimize visual impacts of facilities where technically feasible. 12.1.31 Encourage communication among the City of Tukwila, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, and the utilities regarding cost distribution and rate - setting for existing and proposed facilities and services. 12.1.32 12.1.33 All new electrical and communication facilities shall be constructed underground unless specifically exempted by the Tukwila Municipal Code or determined by the City Council to be financially impractical. If a utility relocation is required by a public works project such as a street widening project, utility repairs or upgrades, or any major replacement of aerial facilities, the relocated /replaced facilities shall be underground unless the City determines that doing so is not in the best interest of the public. 64 7 VJIKWIIIL..A C®INBIPIRIFIHIIFJWSIIVIF IPIL..AIW UU1F [)AU Ih: 1[) /1IPID..III1„.. 16, 2013 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES • Consolidate utility locations and use shared towers, poles, antennae, trenches, easements, and substation sites. • Require new cellular communications facilities to make use of existing structures wherever possible. • Enclose telephone switching facilities in buildings compatible with the surrounding area.

Tukwila's Comprehensive Water System Plan identifies areas of water supply and distribution deficiency, and the six-year Capital Improvement Plan proposes corrective improvements. The Tukwila sewer system is exclusively a collector system with no treatment component King County DNRP Wasterwater Treatment Division provides regional wastewater treatment at the South Treatment Plant in Renton. The Comprehensive Sewer System Plan identifies deficiencies in the system, and corrective improvements are proposed in the six-year Capital Improvement Plan. Certain areas of the City are served by other water and sewer providers v y r, which develop their own plans in coordination with the City of Tukwila. (Figures 6XX and XX3 7) Tukwila's hiloph,i1Comprehensive dopted Comprehensive Water System Pkn and Sewer System P1an are adopted by reference as part of the Comprehensive Plan. Those system plans id present and future improvements, establish certain required levels of service. and priorities for system improvements. Level of service standards are also established by applicable Board of Health regulations, the Uniform Plumbing Code. and the Uniform Fire Code. Consistent with State mandates, Tukwila revises and updates system plans to assure consistency with the Comprehensive PIan, and the Capital Improvement Program.

Electric Power "Electric power" involves both transmission systems and distribution systems. Tukwila's electric power is provided by Puget Sound Energy with approximately 3. 800 customers, and Seattle City Light, serving approxinnaLn|yt5.700 residential and 1, 000 commercial customers in Tukwila. Both companies operate under non-exclusive franchise agreements with the City. (Service Areas, Map XX) .

The rest is likely to be met with added natural gas-fired resources. To meet future demand, some new transmission lines and substations will be built in 7ukvvi|a, and existing ones rebuilt and/or maintained.. Distribution plans include line and station projects. Future distribution improvements will be required to meetthe demands ofTukwila's projected growth. Seattle City Light's plans for future distribution capacity include additional feeder capacity that is expected tu meet demand in Tukwila through the year �A�42031., Seattle City Light intends to meet electrical load growth through conservation and new generation resources powered by renewable energy.

Puget Sound Energy covers virtually all of Tukwila with their main distribution lines. The utility foresees no difficulties in meeting future demand during the planning period. No major improvement projects are planned at this time. Telecommunications As telecommunications technologies have evolved, convergence of these technologies has occurred, resulting in multiple communication services migrating into consolidated networks. Telecommunications in Tukwila includes both wired and wireless telephone services, cable and satellite television, and high -speed broadband technology. Through partnerships with franchised telecommunications companies, internal public works projects and completion of capital projects, the City has a robust conduit infrastructure that would enable and facilitate future fiber optic connectivity projects benefitting the City, its residents and business, and project partners. The City has joined a connectivity consortium of cities, and other public partners that would construct and maintain a regional fiber -optic telecommunications system. This fiber -optic system would provide redundancies, enhance communications networks, and emergency operations. Cable and Satellite Television The City of Tukwila has a non - exclusive franchise agreement with Comcast Corporation to construct, operate, and maintain a cable system in compliance with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. Comcast's network provides high- definition television capacity and high -speed Internet access through cable modems, and includes coaxial and fiber optic cabling systems deployed underground and overhead using utility poles leased from power and telephone companies. Satellite television competes directly with cable television by delivering hundreds of channels directly to mini- dishes installed in homes and businesses throughout Tukwila.

The Utilities Element is a framework to provide utility service and facilities that are efficient and predictable. Guidelines for preparing the Utilities Element have been codified in the procedural criteria for preparing and adopting Comprehensive Plans and development regulations under the Growth Management Act. The Utilities element establishes a basis for decision - making that is consistent with Washington's Growth Management Act, the Puget Sound Regional Council's Vision 2040 and King County's Countywide Planning Policies, including targets for housing units and employment. These specific requirements are fulfilled by the Utilities Background Report, Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan, Comprehensive Water Plan, and Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan. These documents, along with the six -year Capital Improvement Program and the City of Tukwila budget, are adopted by reference in the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan. Individual districts and other utilities providers prepare and adopt their own planning documents. The 2013 Utilities Element Background Report Supplement summarizes and updates conditions for City and non -City owned utilities. It includes a basic description of service providers, and indicates the most important service and situation changes since the 2004 Growth Management Act update. Service provider maps and maps that show the general location of facilities are shown in the Appendix. The Utilities Background Report reviews the present supply of utility services and infrastructure. It summarizes existing facilities, services and capacity and describes the ability of the respective utility systems to meet the future levels and location of demand that result from Tukwila's forecast growth in employment and households. The utility services that are considered include: sewer and water services, surface water management, solid waste, electricity, natural gas and telecommunications. The City of Tukwila and adjacent municipalities and special districts provide sewer and water services. Surface water management is provided exclusively by the City of Tukwila. The remaining utilities such as solid waste, electric power, natural gas and telecommunications are provided to residents and businesses through franchise agreements or via contract with the City. Quantifying realistic future demand is necessary for planning infrastructure projects and providing different types of utility services to meet future needs with adequate supply and capacity. Estimates of future need are based on two basic factors: (1) the amount of employment and housing growth; and (2) the location of employment and housing growth. The forecast growth is determined by forecasts from the Washington Office of Financial Management, and growth targets allocated by King County's Countywide Planning Policies. The location of growth capacity is defined by the adopted land use map contained in Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan. The City of Tukwila elected to be a designated regional growth center in 1995, and must prepare plans to accommodate its targets for 4,850 new housing units and 17,550 new jobs by 2031. It is anticipated that most of that household growth will occur in higher density housing within a developing Southcenter April 17, 2013 3 91 92 • 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII neighborhood. Additional housing growth will occur along Tukwila International Boulevard in or near the Tukwila Village redevelopment project, in the vicinity of the light rail station at S. 154`h Street, and in the Tukwila South area, annexed to Tukwila in 2010. New employment will primarily be dispersed among the Tukwila Urban Center, Manufacturing /Industrial Center and Tukwila South sub - areas. '11111'1) 111111110111,u°')i11(1114)) I �� �� IIII' �� �°I S� � Several key issues are considered in planning for utility needs. • Service Extensions. Planned extensions of utility services are based on existing need or to accommodate planned growth or growth targets. • Coordination of Service Providers. In addition to its own water, sanitary sewer and surface water utilities, Tukwila is served by three non -City sewer and five non -City water districts, which can complicate interjurisdictional coordination. The City- managed utilities must be coordinated with adjacent purveyors that provide utility services to portions of the City to correct deficiencies, solve utility problems and accommodate growth. • Concurrency and Implications for Growth. Concurrency requires that utility projects, along with other capital facilities, be developed so that improvements are in place at the time they are needed to meet growth and to accommodate growth targets. • Environmental Sustainability. Environmental protection and restoration efforts are required in utility planning, construction and operations to ensure that the quality of the natural environment and its contributions to human health and vitality are sustained, and the effects of climate change limited. Environmental sustainability is a key priority for the region as expressed in King County's Countywide Planning Policies. This priority shall be implemented through utility planning and operations in Tukwila through a range of activities from conservation practices to low impact development methods • Residential Neighborhood and Sub -Area Vitality. Utility investments affect neighborhood quality of life, and the ability to realize established visions for specific sub - areas. Significant progress has been made in upgrading utilities in the residential neighborhoods since the Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1995. Ensuring high quality utility service in neighborhoods remains a priority. Tukwila's Strategic Plan further emphasizes the importance of capital investment, including utilities, as a means to ensure that sub -areas reach their potential and can accommodate growth targets. These areas include Tukwila International Boulevard, the Southcenter /Tukwila Urban Center area and the Manufacturing /Industrial Center area along East Marginal Way. The high costs of undergrounding utilities must be addressed, as well as limiting the impacts of utilities on adjacent areas. • System Rehabilitation, Replacement and Retrofit. Much of the City's utility infrastructure has reached or is near its life expectancy. Rehabilitation or replacement of these systems will be needed to ensure their continued reliability. Federal, state and, local requirements continue to change and require utility system improvements to comply with these requirements. Much of Tukwila's infrastructure is 50+ years old, and requires planned and systematic replacement and /or upgrades to ensure reliability. Planned upgrades are addressed in Tukwila's water, sewer April 17, 2013 4 • 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII and surface water system plans. Projects are scheduled and paid for through Tukwila's six -year Capital Improvement Program. Additional non -city utilities will be upgraded to address technological innovations, capacity constraints, and changed regulations. m Col of �'llli �Ilw a Water System iT A VIII VIII Itudl The City of Tukwila operates and maintains a water distribution system with approximately 40 miles of water mains. It supplies over 1.5 million gallons /day to the residential and commercial customers of Tukwila. Cascade Water Alliance provides the water that the City of Tukwila sells to customers with a contract that runs through 2064. The water utility supplies both potable (drinking) water and water to fire hydrants. Although interconnected systems, these different services have different requirements. Since the last Comprehensive Plan update in 2004, portions of the Allentown, Duwamish, Foster Point and Ryan Hill neighborhoods have received upgraded or new water systems. The City of Tukwila is using low- interest, long -term loans from the Public Works Trust Fund to finance the upgrade of water systems within the City. The City continues its efforts to improve the cross - connection program by requiring businesses to install a reduced - pressure backflow device to protect the water supply system when changing their plumbing systems. Since 2004, the City of Tukwila Water Utility has completed the following significant projects to ensure that there is adequate capacity to meet growth targets: • In 2007, the City installed a new 10" water line across the Green River Bridge between the Family Fun Center and Andover Park East to provided capacity for targeted growth. • 2008 —The City upgraded 1, 100 cubic foot water lines near S. 48th Street and Interurban Avenue South both to address anticipated growth, and to repair remaining damage from the 2001 earthquake. Future projects During the planning period, the City of Tukwila Water Utility will upsize its existing 12" water line to a 16" line in Andover Park East. It will construct a 2.5 million gallon reservoir to address potable water reserves per Washington Department of Health requirements, as well as fire pressure needs to provide capacity to serve growth targets, primarily for the Southcenter/Tukwila Urban Center area. In addition, the Water Utility will meet the continued need for systematic maintenance and replacement as water mains reach the end of their useful lifetime. (Figure 1 —Water System) Col ° o uW a Santrarry Se er System The City of Tukwila operates and maintains a sanitary sewer collection system with approximately 33 miles of gravity and force sewer mains, and nine lift stations. The lift stations pump approximately 60% of all sewage in the City (approximately 460 million gallons). April 17, 2013 5 93 94 • 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Since 2004, portions of Allentown, Foster Point and Duwamish neighborhoods received sanitary sewers. The City of Tukwila is using low- interest, long -term loans from the Public Works Trust Fund to finance installation of sewers in the unsewered areas. The annexation of Tukwila South has prompted additional maintenance in anticipation of growth. In 2012, Tukwila's Sewer Utility rebuilt a line in street running from Minkler Avenue South to South 204th. Side sewers will be provided by the developer when needed. A boundary line adjustment with the Valley View Sewer District is in progress in the vicinity of 51st Avenue South and Southcenter Boulevard. This change will better accommodate the service areas and boundaries to the existing natural topography. Future projects In order to meet the needs for growth, as well as maintenance during the planning period, the City of Tukwila is proposing a new lift station near 65th Avenue South and Southcenter Boulevard to replace an existing sewer line that runs under 1 -405. In addition, portions of the sewers in the Tukwila Urban Center /Southcenter area will be relined since they are reaching the end of their design life. (Figure 2— Sanitary Sewer System) Col l° o u W a u r i eir Vanagement System The City currently owns, operates and maintains approximately the following surface water features: FACILITY TOTAL QUANTITY* • Asphalt Berm • 200 Linear Feet • Ditches • 1,000,000 Linear Feet • Pipes • 500,000 Linear Feet • Catch Basins and Manholes • 12,000 Each • Outfalls • 75 • Detention/Water Quality • 19 • Pump Stations • 4 * Actual quantities to be determined after GIS studies. Changed Conditions Since the 2004 update, significant regulatory changes have affected surface water management. This is primarily due to requirements from the implementation of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase 11 permit. The Municipal Stormwater Permit was issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology in 2007. The NPDES, a federal requirement under the Clean Water Act, regulates storm /surface water and wastewater discharges to waters of the State. The permit requires that all affected municipalities create and implement a specified Stormwater Management Program (SWMP), which protects water quality by reducing the amount of "non- point" pollutants. April 17, 2013 6 • 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII While developing the 2013 Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan, staff evaluated existing field conditions, applicable regulations, and anticipated revisions to those regulations, in order to identify program improvements that should be implemented. The 2013 Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan includes basin definitions, an inventory of fish blocking culverts, capital improvement projects, regulatory compliance evaluation, low- Impact /no- impact development, and development restrictions. It divides the City into nine drainage basins and assesses current deficiencies. The plan emphasizes a greater importance on providing water quality and fish passage improvements. (Figure 3— Surface Water System) Clean Water Act The Clean Water Act regulates discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States and regulates water quality standards for surface water. Major water bodies are classified by use according to State water quality standards. Each use has specific water quality criteria. The Green /Duwamish is the only surface water within the City's jurisdiction that has updated surface water quality standards. Tukwila must comply with Phase 11 of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, and any Washington State Department of Ecology 303(d) listings for impaired water bodies. Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Salmon Recovery Act In 2000, Puget Sound Chinook salmon and the coastal Puget Sound bull trout were listed as threatened. The City implemented an ESA Screening checklist as part of the SEPA process to assess potential impacts to endangered species. In addition, the City serves on a committee from the local water resource inventory area (WRIA) which develops watershed projects addressing salmon habitat concerns. The City identified several capital improvement projects that are linked to the WRIA 9 salmon recovery efforts. j A Several adjacent, publically -owned water and sewer utilities operate within Tukwila. Water District #125 Water District #125 serves a total of approximately 3,860 accounts in Tukwila. This includes approximately 1,670 residential water accounts, 1,940 business accounts and 250 non - residential (i.e. commercial /industrial and government/education) accounts. Per its 2011 Comprehensive Plan, Water District #125 foresees no problem in serving expected growth within its Tukwila service area. Staff indicate that some specific projects may require local infrastructure improvements, but basic facilities are in place. The water system along Tukwila International Boulevard is fairly strong and is projected to accommodate most anticipated development during the planning period. Undersized water mains throughout the WD 125 service area are systematically being addressed by capital improvements as funds are available. A recent intertie project has provided increased backup for fire pressure in this area. This upgrade will facilitate anticipated redevelopment and growth. Should a specific development require higher fire flows than are available at the time, it would be the responsibility of the developer to make the necessary improvements to achieve the required flows. A copy of Water District #125's most recent Comprehensive Plan (2011) provides a full evaluation of its existing system and its ability to meet the anticipated requirements for water source, quality, transmission, storage and distribution for the planning period. The Plan also includes a complete list of future water April 17, 2013 7 95 96 • 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII system projects and how they will be financed. The Plan is available at the Water District #125 office located at 3460 S. 148`h St., Tukwila, WA 98188. Highline Water District The Highline Water District serves approximately 550 accounts in Tukwila, including 100 non - residential (commercial, government, non - profit), and 450 residential. The Highline Water district provides the majority of water service in the Tukwila South area, annexed to Tukwila in 2010. The annexation significantly enlarged the area that Highline serves within the City of Tukwila municipal boundaries. Two recent projects were constructed specifically to meet anticipated growth in the Tukwila South area during the planning period. They include: • 2012 -- Through an Interlocal Agreement with Tukwila, Highline Water District completed the Southcenter Parkway Extension project. It includes the extension /relocation of the existing water mains along Frager Road from S. 180th St. and to S. 200th St as part of the new road construction. The existing 8,500 LF aging main was nearing the end of its useful design life and was upsized to serve future development in Tukwila South. • 2011 - -The District constructed Orillia Road Water Main Improvements to serve the Tukwila South area. It included installation of: 1) two pressure- reducing valve stations to bring the high pressures along Southcenter Parkway to usable levels; and 2) a new water main along Orillia Road to provide adequate fire flows to future Tukwila South projects, and to close the gap to the Tukwila Intertie. In general, the District's infrastructure is able to meet the water demands within its boundaries in the City of Tukwila. According to Highline's Comprehensive Plan, current requirements and future development needs can be adequately met through systematic capital projects. Highline Water District will continue its robust district -wide approach to replacing aging water mains, including some in Tukwila. A copy of the current Comprehensive Plan with specific projects is available from the Highline Water District office at 23828 30th Avenue South, Kent, WA 98032. City of Seattle Seattle Public Utilities (Water) provide service to the northern portion of the City including industrial connections along East Marginal Way South in Tukwila's Manufacturing /Industrial Center. The area is built out, and no major projects are planned. City of Renton Water Utility The Renton Water Utility services a small eastern portion of Tukwila in the southeast portion area on the eastern edge of the Tukwila Urban Center. Water District #20 Water District #20 serves several properties on the western boundary of the city, between Military Road and Tukwila International Boulevard. Valley View Sewer District The Valley View Sewer District is located generally south of Seattle, with a service area that includes part of Seattle, as well as portions of the cities of Burien, SeaTac, Tukwila, and unincorporated King County. It provides sanitary sewer service to the central and western portions of Tukwila. Presently, Valley View has April 17, 2013 8 • 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII agreements with the City which allow it to operate and maintain sewer facilities within Tukwila. In 2007, the Valley View Sewer District changed its name from Val Vue Sewer District. The District neither owns nor maintains wastewater treatment facilities; its flows are treated through contracted relationships with the King County Wastewater Treatment Division, Southwest Suburban Sewer District and Midway Sewer District. Valley View serves approximately 8,000 connections in total. It has 170 commercial accounts and 1,909 residential accounts, for a total of 2,079 connections in Tukwila. Growth As of 2013, the Valley View Sewer District is preparing to exchange a portion of its territory with the City of Tukwila sewer utility immediately west of 1 -5 in the vicinity of S. 144th and S. 151st Streets in order better to serve the area based on its sloping topography. Valley View's Comprehensive Plan indicates that projected development within the service area is limited to that associated with infill development over the short term, and redevelopment over the longer term. An increase in multi - family and commercial uses is anticipated. During the planning period, several construction projects are scheduled to extend sewer service to currently unsewered areas in Tukwila. The current Capital Improvement Program includes new sewer construction in the following areas during the planning period: 1) Riverton Crest (project N -3) at Military Road and S. 140th Street, planned for 2017, and 2) the Tukwila Loop Sewer Main (project N -13) located near 158th Street, east of 42nd Avenue South, planned for 2022. Additional projects will be carried out in coming years, and include continued sewer rehabilitation and replacement. Revenue sources for financing capital expenses include rates, utility local improvement districts, bonds, grants and loans. City of Seattle Seattle Public Utilities (Sewer) provide service to the very northwest tip of the City of Tukwila in the vicinity of 16th Avenue South, in the Manufacturing /Industrial Center. City of Renton The City of Renton serves a small eastern portion of the Tukwila Urban Center with sewer service. This area is generally located between West Valley Highway and the Renton border from approximately S. 160th and S. 180th Street. Aliit'ioin liit'is 4ot 0 ned ie lilt° of W Solid Waste and Recycling Collection, transport and disposal of solid waste in Tukwila is guided by the King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan, the Seattle -King County Local Hazardous Waste Management Plan, and the Washington State Solid Waste Management Plan. Through a competitive process, the City awarded a seven -year contract in 2011 to Waste Management Inc. to provide solid waste, recycling and compostables collection for residential, multi - family and commercial customers. The contract provides for comprehensive solid waste and recycling program and competitive rates for the City. The cost of recycling service for Tukwila residents and businesses is embedded in the respective garbage rates. April 17, 2013 9 97 98 • 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Tukwila has adopted the King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan and the Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement (ILA). These guiding documents form the basis for the City's solid waste, recycling and waste reduction programs. Approximately 75% of Tukwila households and virtually all businesses subscribe to solid waste and /or recycling services. This is a significant improvement since the 2004 Comprehensive Plan update. The remaining 25% self -haul primarily to King County's Bow Lake transfer station in Tukwila, to surrounding transfer stations and other private yard debris facilities. The City has considered implementing universal /mandatory garbage collection for Tukwila residents but residential garbage collection remains voluntary. This issue will be considered again during the planning period. Through the ILA provisions garbage collected in the City of Tukwila goes primarily to the Bow Lake Transfer Station, located at South 188th Street and Orillia Road. Bow Lake Transfer Station has undergone a major $44 million renovation since 2010, and is scheduled to be fully operational by the end of 2013. The Bow Lake Transfer Station handles more than a third of the County's solid waste and will have the capability to accommodate garbage, recyclables and yard waste debris. With newly installed compactors, and facility expansion, Bow Lake is well equipped to accommodate future growth in the region and facilitate disposal options when Cedar Hills Landfill reaches full capacity in 2025. Garbage is ultimately trucked and disposed of in King County's Cedar Hills Regional Landfill. Allied Waste /Republic will continue providing solid waste, recycling and yard waste collection through their Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission certificates for recently- annexed areas in the City including the Tukwila South area. During 2013, the City started the negotiation process for a new franchise agreement with Allied Republic. Telecommunications Telecommunications services include both switched and dedicated voice, data, video, and other communication services delivered over the telephone and cable network on various mediums, including, but not limited to, wire, fiber optic, or radio wave. Either regulated or non - regulated companies may provide these services. Cable service includes communication, information and entertainment services delivered over the cable system whether those services are provided in video, voice or data form. Telecommunication services follow growth and have capacity to match whatever growth occurs in Tukwila. With new technologies, telecommunications utilities project virtually limitless capacity within the planning horizon. Through partnerships with franchised telecommunications companies, and completion of capital projects, the City has a robust conduit infrastructure that would enable and facilitate future fiber optic connectivity projects benefitting the City, its residents and business, and project partners. The City participates in a connectivity consortium consisting of cities, and other public partners that would construct and maintain a regional fiber -optic telecommunications system. This fiber -optic system would provide system redundancies, and enhance communications networks, and emergency operations. At some point during the planning period, the telecommunications network will be updated to fiber optic but the exact schedule and locations are not available. Cable and Satellite Television The City of Tukwila has a non - exclusive franchise agreement with Comcast Corporation to construct, operate, and maintain a cable system in compliance with the Federal Communications Commission April 17, 2013 10 • 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII (FCC) regulations. Comcast's network provides high- definition television capacity and high -speed internet access through cable modems, and includes coaxial and fiber optic cabling systems deployed underground and overhead using utility poles leased from power and telephone companies. Future growth is most likely occur relative to data/internet service, as more content become accessible online. These broadband services can be provided over fiber optic networks, cable networks or DSL telephone networks. Satellite television competes directly with cable television by delivering hundreds of channels directly to mini - dishes installed in homes and businesses throughout Tukwila. Wireline and Wireless Communications Multiple companies offer telecommunications services in Tukwila including integrated voice and data, and voice over internet telephony (VoiP) technology. Century Link, the Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier(ILEC) is now joined by several Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) in providing more communications service options to Tukwila residents and businesses. Since Washington Utilities Trade Commission (WUTC) regulations require CenturyLink to provide adequate PTSN telecommunications service on demand, there are no limits to future capacity, although demand for land lines is declining. Additionally, VoIP telephone service should only be restricted by bandwidth constraints on fiber optic networks that provide this digital service. Electric Utilities Tukwila's electricity is provided by Puget Power and Seattle City Light. Electric utilities in Tukwila share what is described as an "integrated regional electric system." Regardless of ownership, the elements of the system are designed and operated to work in a complementary manner. The elements include transmission lines, substations and generation facilities. Seattle City Light and Puget Power continually consider means to expand supply and upgrade equipment since the law requires them to serve all customers requesting service. Current capital facilities plans and six year finance plans which include complete project information are available from Seattle City Light and Puget Sound Energy. (Figure 4 — Electricity Providers) Puget Sound Energy Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is an investor - owned, private utility that is regulated by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC). It provides electric service to over 900,000 metered customers within the company's 4,500 square mile service territory. This territory encompasses nine counties in western and central Washington. PSE provides electrical service to approximately 3,800 customers in Tukwila who are located generally south of South 160th Street, including the Urban Center. Puget Sound Energy builds, operates and maintains an extensive electric system consisting of generating plants, transmission lines, distribution systems and substations. It is a hydroelectric -based company purchasing about 40 percent of its power from utilities that own five large hydro facilities on the Columbia River. Six Puget Sound Energy -owned hydroelectric plants, located on the Nooksack, Baker, Snoqualmie, White and Puyallup Rivers, add to the hydro base on the west side of the Cascades. Other Puget Sound Energy owned or partly owned sources include four coal -fired plants (in Centralia, Washington, and Colstrip, Montana), and six gas- and oil -fired plants. April 17, 2013 11 99 • 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Within Tukwila, Puget Sound Energy owns and maintains transmission lines which bring generating facilities to principal substations. The Talbot- O'Brien transmission lines serves Tukwila and the surrounding area with 230 kilovolt (kV) high - voltage transmission lines that run north -south within the Interurban Corridor, moving bulk power from transmission stations in Renton and Kent. Both of those stations generally supply electrical energy to the southern half of King County, an area much larger than the City of Tukwila. Several 115 kV transmission lines and a number of neighborhood distribution substations are located within the city, and deliver electrical energy to other neighborhood substations in communities adjacent to Tukwila. PSE's Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) details how the utility will serve future needs during the planning period. The current plan details the energy resources needed to reliably meet customers' wintertime, peak -hour electric demand over the next 20 years. The plan, which will be updated in spring 2013, forecasted that PSE would have to acquire approximately 4,200 megawatts of new power - supply capacity by 2031. This resource need is driven mainly by expiring purchased -power contracts and expected population and economic growth in the Puget Sound Region. The IRP suggests that roughly half of the utility's long -term electric resource need can be met by energy efficiency and additional wind -power supply. The rest of PSE's gap in long -term power resources is likely to be met most economically with added natural gas -fired resources. Future Projects Specific construction that is anticipated for Tukwila includes the following: • 2013 - -New 115 kV transmission line between the future Briscoe Park Substation and the existing Boeing Aerospace Substation. • 2014 -- Replacement of the existing 115 kV underground cable between the Nelsen and Tukwila Cable Stations. The existing cable was installed in 1974, and the new cable will increase reliability and capacity. • Near term -- Vegetation management within the 230 kV transmission line corridor, for NERC compliance. • Future— o Improve Briscoe Park Substation, located in the center of the Tukwila South development, providing increased capacity and reliability in the area. o Enlarge the existing Renton Junction Substation, providing increased capacity and reliability in the area. o Build a 115 kV underground cable connecting the existing Nelsen Cable Station and Renton Junction Substation, to facilitate expansion of Renton Junction Substation. o Build a 115 kV transmission line connecting the existing Southcenter Substation and the future Briscoe Park Substation. This future line would either be overhead or underground and would provide increased capacity and reliability. o Build a Substation near Southcenter Boulevard and South 180`h Street to provide increased capacity and reliability in the area. o Rebuild the existing 115 kV transmission line that runs east from the existing Nelsen Cable Station with a larger conductor. 100 April 17, 2013 12 • 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Seattle City Light Seattle City Light (SCL) is the City of Seattle -owned electrical utility. Its total service area covers approximately 131 square miles, including all of Seattle and some portions of incorporated and unincorporated King County to the north and south of Seattle. Seattle City Light serves the northern portion of Tukwila, including the Manufacturing /Industrial Center (MIC) via franchise agreements. According to 2011 data, SCL has approximately 5,700 residential and 1,000 commercial customers in Tukwila. Both a retailer and wholesaler of electric power, the utility generates 70 percent of the power it sells to retail customers from its own facilities. The largest facilities are the hydro - generating plants of the Skagit Project. Another smaller hydro - generating facility is the Cedar Falls Dam on the Cedar River. Seattle City Light owns and maintains approximately 649 miles of transmission lines which transmit power from the Skagit and Cedar Falls generating facilities to 14 principal substations. Power is distributed from these principal substations via high voltage feeder lines to numerous smaller distribution substations or pole- mounted transformers Seattle City Light (SCL) is a municipally owned utility provides service to customers in the City of Seattle, portions of unincorporated King County, and via franchise agreements to several King County cities including the northern portion of Tukwila. SCL's 2012 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) outlines how the utility will meet anticipated customer needs over the next 20 years. According to the IRP, Seattle City Light is likely to meet the energy needs of Seattle and Tukwila through 2022 with ongoing conservation programs, seasonal market purchases, and existing power contract flexibility. Conservation programs will continue as the resource of choice, that is lower cost, flexible, advantageous for economic development, and with minimal environmental impacts. After 2022 and through 2031, energy needs will be met by additional power from renewable resources including landfill gas, new hydro efficiencies, waste wood biomass, and wind resources. SCL owns and maintains transmission lines which bring power from the Skagit and Cedar Falls generating facilities to a number of principal substations. Power is distributed from these principal substations via high - voltage feeder lines to smaller distribution substations or pole transformers. These reduce voltage to usable levels for customers. Tukwila is served both from Seattle City Light's Duwamish Substation in Tukwila and from the Creston - Nelson Substation in Seattle. Distribution feeders from Duwamish and Creston - Nelson deliver energy to the area's customers. Future Projects To maintain current infrastructure and increase transmission reliability, SCL plans to build new feeders from the Duwamish Substation. The timing of the new feeders will be dependent on the demand schedules of large power customers. SCL will replace existing H -frame structures with taller poles in order to maintain reliability of the Creston - Duwamish transmission line and to augment distribution capacity from the Creston Substation. April 17, 2013 13 101 • 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Natural Gas Puget Sound Energy, an investor -owned utility, builds, operates and maintains natural gas facilities serving Tukwila. Puget Sound Energy purchases gas from other regions and manages the distribution of natural gas to customers within its service area. This involves pressure regulation and the development and maintenance of distribution lines. PSE builds, operates and maintains natural gas facilities serving about serves over 750,000 gas customers in six counties, including approximately 3,400 customers in Tukwila. Per its 20 -year Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), no major gas main improvement projects are planned for Tukwila at this time. Puget Sound Energy covers virtually all of Tukwila with their main distribution lines. Overall, the utility foresees no difficulties in meeting future demand during the planning period. No major improvement projects are planned at this time. (Figure 5— Natural Gas Provider) 102 April 17, 2013 14 12 V AI )IX Emerc :-ncy SS Seattle Intertie 1 irOcr .

SAID N THIS CHAPTER: • A description of how and why capital facilities are planned; • A discussion of the funding methods and challenges facing the City; and • Gears and Policies for providing adequate, levers of service. "Tukwila makes a commitment that the land use intensities and pattern of uses are appropriate for the community and that its adopted levels of service will be met and maintained." ''UIII°" 5 GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT CAPVTAL FACVLVTY PLANNNG REQUREMENTS This element of the Comprehensive Plan presents the goals and policies for Tukwila's Capital Facilities. Capital Facilities Planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA) requires an inventory of public facilities and their capacities; establishment of a minimum acceptable level of service for the community; a list of needed capital projects to serve growth and that maintain the standards; a realistic financing plan; and stipulation that adjustment of the Plan will occur if funding is inadequate or if growth requires previously unanticipated expansion. In adopting its Comprehensive Plan and the supporting documents, Tukwila makes a commitment that the land use intensities and pattern of uses are appropriate for the community and that its adopted levels of service will be met and maintained. The GMA Capital Facilities Plan for Tukwila consists of: 1. The Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities goals and policies; 2. The Capital Facilities Element Background Report, which contains a discussion of the City's growth targets for the Comprehensive Plan's planning period to 2030; 1.10.' 1 "VJIKINIIIL..A C®INBIPIRIEIHIIFJWSIIVIE IPIL..AIW UPDATE ID, AP R.1111„„„ 16, 2013 Why Plan for Capital I acul ut es? Under GMA, the City is required to uncle de a caputau facuuutues euement in its Comprehensive Plan. The Caputau Facuuutues Element and associated Caputau Facuuutues Ran describe how puubuuc services wuuu be provided and financed. Caputau facuuufues planning also heaps UocaU jurisdictions manage their uumuted funds to provide the greatest vauuue to their residents and take fill advantage of avauuabue funding opportunities. What is Concurrency? "Concurrency" exists when adequate puubuuc facuuutues or services are in place to serve new deveuoprnent. Specufucauuy pertaining to streets and uutuuutues in Tuukwuua, concuurrency requirements are untended to prevent new development from outpacing Tuukwuua's abuuuty to provide the improvements that are needed to serve the new development. New development's infrastructure demands can result in congestion or overcrowding that win impact new and existing residents alike, of improvements are not made in time. Concurrency is often referred to as a pass or fain test for a new development. 3. The City's Capital Improvement Program /Financial Planning Model (CIP /FPM) which includes projects for the six year period and projects to address community needs and maintain standards to 2030; The Comprehensive Plan's goals cannot be carried out unless the supporting infrastructure can be financed. The CIP /FPM addresses how specific projects and facilities will be financed and provides a current assessment of the City's financial capacities and limitations; and 4. The systems plans and their regular updates, such as the Nonmotorized Plan, the Fire Master Plan, the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan; the Surface Water Plan; the Water Plan, the Sewer plan, the Transportation Plan, the Fire Services Plan, the City Buildings Plan; all of which are adopted by reference as part of this Comprehensive Plan. A key concept of the GMA and capital facilities planning is concurrency —that specific public facilities will be available when the impacts of development occur, or within ten years of the development. Concurrency in Tukwila is supported through policy, systems planning and implemented in current regulation. Tukwila's public facility needs are served not only by City facilities but also by regional agencies such as the Washington State Department of Transportation, Sound Transit, King County, and the Port of Seattle; and by special purpose districts, such as Tukwila School District, King County Library System, Valley View Sewer District, and Highline Water District. (See also the Utilities Element.) In addition to maintaining adequate levels of service on City provided facilities, the City of Tukwila must coordinate with these special purpose districts and regional providers on Tukwila's growth and land use planning. 1 VJIKWIIII...A C®INBIPIRIFIHIIFIWSIIVIF IPII...AN U IIIpII.1AU II II) AIF F,lllI "112013 CAPVTAL FACVLVTY PLANNNG UN TUKWVLA Capital facilities planning in Tukwila is separated into two different types of funds: • General Government Funds, which include special revenue and capital projects funds for general capital needs, such as residential streets, arterials, buildings, parks and trails, and other improvements. • Enterprise Funds, which include funds for which fees are received in exchange for specific goods and services. In Tukwila this includes water, sewer, surface water, and the Foster Golf Course. GENERAL GOVERNMENT FACVLVTVES FUNDS General government facilities are designed, built and operated for the general public, unlike enterprise funds, which serve specific fee paying customers. Any person may drive on City streets, walk on a trail, play in a City park, be served by fire and emergency aid, etc. Tukwila does capital improvement planning by organizing its general government facilities needs into similar programmatic categories, which are referred to as funds. The following funds are the largest in terms of number of projects and funding levels: • The Residential Streets Program Fund is for transportation- related projects specifically identified for street improvement in residential neighborhoods and includes lane widening, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, illumination and undergrounding utilities. • The Bridges and Arterial Streets Program Fund is the Transportation Improvement Program, which is designed to correct deficiencies in arterial streets and traffic operations. The program uses City funds, grants, real estate excise tax, parking tax, developer funds, local improvement district funds, impact fees and mitigation payments. • The Land Acquisition and Park Development Program Fund uses City funds, grants, real estate excise tax and impact fees for parks, trails, recreational facilities and fisheries projects. • The Facilities Program Fund is for the replacement of existing general government facilities and includes the Tukwila Village project, which is an urban renewal /redevelopment project on Tukwila International Boulevard. • The General Improvements Fund is designated for minor capital improvements not related to parks, land acquisition or major building replacements and included the emergency levee costs associated with the Howard Hanson Dam repair. 1 1 2 1 VJIKWIIIL..A C®INBIPIRIFIHIIFJWSIIVIF IPIL..AIW UUIPDAft Ih: 1[) AIPID..11ll... 16, 2013 General government sources of funds and expenditures are illustrated in Figure 14 -1. 2011 General Government Funds Revenue Sources Charges for Services 0% Miscellaneous 2% Taxes 4 %© 2011 General Government Funds Expenditures Residential Parks/Trails Streets 0% 0% General Govt 5% i mummummum000n000no 1111111111111 111111101111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111110000000000111110011111000000000011111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Facilities 0% Figure 14 -1: General government sources of funds and expenditures. ENTERPRSE FACVLVTVES FUNDS Enterprise Funds are supported by revenues generated by user fees and charges. Grants and developer contributions supplement the Water, Sewer, and Surface Water Funds, and the Foster Golf Course is self - supporting. Enterprise funds are used by public agencies to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises. They are established as fully self - supporting operations with revenues provided primarily from fees, charges, or contracts for services and require periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and net income for capital maintenance, public policy, management control and accountability. In order to provide for the short -term and long -term operating and capital needs of the water, surface water and sewer utilities, the City evaluates and utilizes a combination of revenue sources, such as utility rates, bonds, loans, grants, developer contributions, Public Works Trust Fund loans, and local improvement districts (LIDs.) 7 VJIKWIIII...A C®INBIPIRIFIHIIFIWSIIVIF IPII...AIW UUll1pll.1AU II': II.1, AIIPIR..11ll... 16, 2013 113 11 111,,,Ilm 2011 Enterprise Funds Revenue Sources oe hel 2011 Enterprise Funds Expenditures 8 Il000niolouolououlooloom 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111 111111111111111111111111 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Figure 14 -2: Enterprise capital sources of funds and expenditures. An example of enterprise capital sources of funds and expenditures is illustrated in Figure 14 -2. • Water and Sewer Funds — Slightly more than 50 percent of the area of the City is served by Tukwila Water and Sewer Utilities. The remainder of the City is either not served or served by other districts. In order to provide infrastructure in the unserved portions of the City, additional revenue is needed in order to extend service to these areas. Available revenue sources include local improvement districts, grants, Trust Fund loans, rate increases, customer contributions, and general fund loans or transfers. • Surface Water Fund — The Surface Water Enterprise Fund identifies projects needed to correct surface water deficiencies and accounts for operations and capital improvements for the City's storm drainage and surface water management function. Surface Water projects are required to meet Federal, State and local mandates. Much of the infrastructure required will be paid for by developers, local improvement districts, and possibly some grants, but the largest contributor to the surface water enterprise fund is the City of Tukwila. • Foster Golf Course — This is a publicly owned facility funded by operating revenues, that is, user fees; citizens' general obligation bonds; Councilmanic bonds; as well as, sale of merchandise, and transfers in from the General Fund. It will be able to meet its capital and operating needs over the 20 -year planning period and maintain a rate structure competitive with nearby municipal courses. All capital improvements will be funded from the above mentioned revenues. The Golf Enterprise Fund accounts for operation, maintenance, and improvements of the municipal golf facility. The difference between the Golf Enterprise Fund and other utility 1 4 "1 "VJIKINIIII...A COMPREHENSIVE IPII...AN UI113111.)A111k11111.) All: IR.11l... "16, 2013 enterprise funds is that the Golf Fund serves voluntary customers as opposed to the users of the water, sewer, and surface water funds who have no choice in service provider. RELATVONSHVP TO OTHER PLANS Capital facility planning is related to a variety of other long- range, sub -area, and system plans adopted by the City.

The SSUTA was designed in response to Congre'ssuonau debates about how tax shouuud be coHecfed for saves made by maul- order and on the Vrute'rrue . Because saves tax is now based on the destination of the save', saves tax that was previously coHecfed by Tuukwuua on products being shipped out of the city is now being coHe'cfed by other jurisdictions. Saves tax for products solid within the city or to customers who puck their orders up in person are unaffected. What are Specula Pub" 3ose (Districts? Specuau Purpose, Districts can be created to provide' a new service or a higher ueve'u of service than is cuurre'nfuy avauuabue. Specuau Purpose, Districts can be estabuushed for a variety of purpose's, such as agrucuuufuure', economic de'veUoprne'nt, education, parks, or envuronrne'ntau protection. Specuau Purpose, Districts may coHe'cf funds within their boundaries to provide' services re'uated to their stated purpose,, though funding rne'chanusrns (property tax, fees, etc.) vary by district. The Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (SSUTA) of 2008 allows Washington State to cooperate with multiple states and the business community to create a more uniform sales and use tax structure. Under SSUTA, sales tax sourcing changed from being based on origin to being based on destination. In 2000, sales tax revenues were the largest revenue source for Tukwila, generally over 40% of total revenue. In 2012, sales tax accounts for 23% of total revenues. The State established a mitigation fund to compensate localities that lost revenue from implementation of SSUTA, but it does not compensate for 100% of the loss, and there is no guarantee that the State will maintain the fund. LEVYNG NEW TAXES AND FEES There are several ways that the Tukwila community has been able to compensate for the decrease in revenues. The City created a Revenue Generating Regulatory License, which is a fee levied on businesses operating within the City, and instituted a Utility Tax, which applies to electric, natural gas and communication sales, both relatively new revenue sources to compensate for the recent changes in the funding sources from traditional means. CREATNG MORE SPECAL PURPOSE DVSTRVCTS Forming special purpose districts allows the community to collect additional money for specific needs such as for parks. In 2011 a Metropolitan Park District was created with coterminous boundaries with the City of Tukwila, in order to sustain the operation of the Tukwila Pool. Beginning in 2013, Tukwila property owners began paying an additional 15 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Fire Protection is a topic that has also been discussed as a potential break away service that would benefit from its own taxing authority. 7 VJIKWIIII...A C®INBIPIRIFIHIIFIWSIIVIF IPII...AIW UPDATIOE IID0 A1PIIR..II11 '1372013 lopeNV , Levee repair at Lilly Point 118 PREPARNG FOR NATURAL DVSASTERS AND EMERGENCES The climate of the world is changing. Temperatures are rising and patterns of rain and drought are changing. Flooding events will occur with greater frequency, water levels will rise and more droughts will occur. For Tukwila, a significant water feature of the City is the Duwamish /Green River and its tributaries. Property owners of the City are part of the King County Flood Control District that manages the levy system that protects the commercial and industrial base of the City. An infrastructure repair and the potential for flooding caused millions of dollars in unexpected expenses to the City in the last six years. Response to these changes needs to be regionally collaborative and combined with targeted local efforts. Tukwila is located in a seismic zone and there have been and will continue to be earthquakes. As the responsible public service entity, the ability to support the community after an event is a paramount job. The location and condition of the City's infrastructure to withstand significant catastrophes and the presence of a reserve to pay for unexpected events should be a factor in the capital planning of the City. 7 VJIKWIIII...A C®INBIPIRIFIHIIFIWSIIVIF IPII...AIW UUII•pII.1AU II': I[) AIPIID..IIII... 16, 2013 G AIII„„„,,5 ,A►I III c ES These policies are intended to ensure the availability of financing to accomplish the goals expressed here and in the other elements of the Comprehensive Plan over the next 20 years.

General Capital Facilities Policies 14.1.1 The City shall use non - capital and regionally shared capital options to meet its public facility needs when there are financial or space economies of scale to be gained. Such options include: • Contracted Services, such as King County Animal Control; • Cooperative programs with other public entities, such as Valley Communications for dispatch services and South County Correctional Entity for jail services, and Cascade Water Alliance for water supply; • Demand Management strategies; and • Rent or lease options. 14.1.2 The City's management of its capital facilities shall follow this order: 1. Regular inspection of systems for evaluation and to ensure conformity with current safety standards; 2. Prioritizing projects when making improvements if the public health and safety is at risk; 3. Preventive maintenance and cost effective replacement of aging elements; and 4. Planning for the orderly extension and upgrading of capital systems. 7 VJIKWIIII...A C®INBIPIRIFIHIIFIWSIIVIF IPII...AIW UUII•pII.1AU II': I[) AIPIID..IIII... 16, 2013 119 14.1.3 Projects listed for the 7 -20 year time frame shall be generally developed, described, estimated and evaluated using Comprehensive Plan goals, while projects in the six - year CIP /FPM shall be more specifically described. 14.1.4 The City will ensure that capital facilities are provided within ten years of the occurrence of impacts that will degrade standards. 14.1.5 Within the six year time frame of a CIP /FPM, infrastructure investment will be balanced between the residential and commercial sectors. 14.1.6 A dedicated facility fund and allocation for future building needs will be included in the CIP /FPM. 14.1.7 Continue to fund the correction of single - family residential neighborhood infrastructure deficiencies, including transportation, surface water, sewer and water, through interfund loans or transfers. 14.1.8 No capital improvement projects located outside the city limits will be approved without specific City Council approval.

The City may participate using operating revenues, grants or bonds based on health and safety needs or public benefit. The City shall pay for local improvement district formation costs in addition to the preliminary and construction engineering costs, in order to provide a more timely option for residential street improvements. To initiate this action, property owners must petition the City for creation of a local improvement district. Residents will pay the other costs such as, for undergrounding utilities in the street and undergrounding from the street to their house, for the actual construction contract cost, and for any improvements on private property such as rockeries, paved driveways, or roadside plantings. The process and requirement for initiating a local improvement district by petition are set forth in state and local law. 7 VJIKWIIII...A C®INBIPIRIFIHIIFIWSIIVIF IPII...AIW UUII•pII.1AU II': I[) AIPIID..IIII... 16, 2013 121 14.1.14 The City shall, whenever practical and advantageous, apply for grants, loans, or other external financing sources.
