FINDINGS
Descrintion of Request
The applicant requests amendments to Chapter 17.16 Detailed Procedures for Binding Site
Improvement Plan (BSIP). The amendments would 1) provide an optional process for land
under a single ownership to be divided for the purpose of sale or lease, 2) facilitate alternative
ownership options by allowing binding site plans in conjunction with a condominium process for
residential, commercial, or industrial purposes, and 3) allow phased infrastructure improvements
for large tracts of land.
Background and Site Infoinlation
The City currently has a Binding Site Plan section of the Subdivision Code (Section 17.16,
TMC) which applies to the whole city. The amendments would also apply city -wide.
The City's Binding Site Improvement Plan (BSIP) provisions provide an alternative to short
plats and folnial subdivisions for the purpose of dividing land. Binding site plans are specifically
authorized for this purpose by state law (RCW 58.17.035). Binding site plans may be authorized
to divide land for the following purposes: 1) sale or lease of industrially or commercially zoned
land; 2) lease of lots within mobile home parks and trailer courts; and 3) condominium
developments.
The applicant proposed amendments in order to improve the Binding Site Plan process as it
applied to the Tukwila South Project, as La Pianta anticipates using the process to create lots
within development on the Tukwila South site, such as a campus development or business park.
The applicant is proposing the amendments in conjunction with its proposal for the Tukwila
South Project, a mixed -use, master planned development of 10.3 million square feet in a large
scale, campus setting on approximately 500 contiguous acres. The Tukwila South Project is
generally located south of S 180 Street, west of the Green River, north of S 204 Street, and
east of Orillia Road S/I -5. The Tukwila South Project proposal is described in detail in the
Tukwila South Draft and Final EIS. Since the project involves large tracts of land, the applicant
proposes Binding Site Plan amendments that will address this situation.
Staff reviewed the proposed amendments, revised them and proposes to make them applicable
city -wide.
The recommended BSIP amendments would accomplish the following:
1. Clarify the purpose and applicability of Binding Site Improvement Plan option,
2. Improve the utility of the BSIP tool with regard to phasing development,
3. Clarify how BSIPs are to be used in residential condominiums and mixed -use
situations,
4. Specify site improvement requirements (streets, utilities, etc), and
C: \temp\XPgrpwise \STAFF REPORT FOR COUNCIL Subdivision Code changes.doc
Staff Report to City Council
L05 -029B
Page 3 of 3
5. Improve requirements and procedures for revisions to, or vacation of, approved
BSIPs.
Review Process
Amendments to the Subdivision Code (Title 17, TMC) are legislative decisions. Following a
public hearing, the Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation to the City
Council, which makes the final decision following its own public hearing. The Planning
Commission held a public hearing and took testimony, deliberated, and made a recommendation
to the City Council on September 29, 2005. Now the City Council will hold a public hearing and
make a decision to approve, approve with modifications, or deny the proposed amendments.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed changes to the Binding Site Improvement Plan portion of the Subdivision Code
will improve the existing BSIP provisions. The amendments identify more specific criteria for
review, provide an optional process for land under a single ownership, allow phasing of
infrastructure improvements, and coordinate the binding site plan and condominium processes.
These amendments would be applicable citywide. The proposed amendments are consistent with
the Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO PLANNING COMMISSION
That the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the staff proposed
amendments to the City of Tukwila's Subdivision Code (TMC Chapter 17) concerning Binding
Site Improvement Plan (BSIP) requirements and procedures.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMNENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
That the City Council approve the staff proposed amendments to the City of Tukwila's

requirements and procedures.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
That the City Council approve the attached amendments to the City of Tukwila's Subdivision
Code (TMC Chapter 17) concerning Binding Site Improvement Plan (BSIP) requirements and
procedures.
