WHEREAS, the City's Sensitive Areas Ordinance does not currently address a method for determining the number of wetland mitigation bank credits needed for a specific off-site mitigation project; and WHEREAS, on May 24, 2007, the City of Tukwila Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed amendments that would create a decision process and criteria for the determination of the number of wetland mitigation credits required for off -site mitigation, and has recommended the adoption of certain Zoning Code changes; and WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on these proposed amendments on July 16, 2007, after proper notice; and WHEREAS, after having received and studied staff analysis, the City Council believes these amendments to the City's sensitive area regulations are desirable; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Ordinance No. 2074 §1 (part), as codified at TMC 18.45.090, is hereby amended to read as follows: 18.45.090 Wetlands Uses, Alterations and Mitigation A. No use or development may occur in a Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 wetland or its buffer except as specifically allowed by TMC Chapter 18.45. Any use or development allowed is subject to review and approval by the Director. Where required, a mitigation or enhancement plan must be developed and must comply with the standards of mitigation required in TMC Chapter 18.45. B. Alterations 1. Alterations to wetlands are discouraged and are limited to the minimum necessary for project feasibility. Requests for alterations must be accompanied by a mitigation plan, are subject to Director approval, and may be approved only if the following findings are made: a. The alteration will not adversely affect water quality; b. The alteration will not adversely affect fish, wildlife, or their habitat; C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Kell) idSDATA10rdinan \Wetland Mitigation Credits.doc GL:kon 7/12/2007 Page 1 of 5 c. The alteration will not have an adverse effect on drainage and /or storm water detention capabilities; d. The alteration will not lead to unstable earth conditions or create an erosion hazard or contribute to scouring actions; e. The alteration will not be materially detrimental to any other property; and f. The alteration will not have adverse effects on any other sensitive areas. 2. Alterations are not permitted to Type 1 wetlands unless specifically exempted under the provisions of TMC Chapter 18.45. 3. Alterations to Type 2 wetlands are prohibited except where the location or configuration of the wetland provides practical difficulties that can be resolved by modifying up to .10 (one -tenth) of an acre of wetland. Mitigation for any alteration to a Type 2 wetland must be provided at a ratio of 1.5:1 for creation or restoration and 3:1 for enhancement and must be located contiguous to the altered wetland. 4. Isolated Type 3 wetlands may be altered or relocated only with the permission of the Director. A mitigation or enhancement plan must be developed and must comply with the standards of mitigation required in TMC Chapter 18.45. 5. Mitigation plans shall be completed for any proposals for dredging, filling, alterations and relocation of wetland habitat allowed in TMC Chapter 18.45. 6. Isolated wetlands formed on fill material in highly disturbed environmental conditions and assessed as having low overall wetland functions may be altered and/or relocated under TMC Chapter 18.45. These wetlands may include artificial hydrology or wetlands unintentionally created as the result of construction activities. The determination that a wetland is isolated is made through the Type 2 permit process. A mitigation or enhancement plan must be developed and must comply with the standards of mitigation required in TMC Chapter 18.45. C. Mitigation Sequencing. Applicants shall demonstrate that reasonable efforts have been examined with the intent to avoid and minimize impacts to wetlands and wetland buffers. When an alteration to a wetland or its required buffer is proposed, such alteration shall be avoided, minimized or compensated for in the following order of preference: 1. Avoidance of wetland and wetland buffer impacts, whether by finding another site or changing the location of the proposed activity on -site. 2. Minimizing wetland and wetland buffer impacts by limiting the degree of impact on site. 3. Mitigation actions that require compensation by replacing, enhancing, or substitution shall occur in the following order of preference: a. restoring wetlands on upland sites that were formerly wetlands; b. enhancing significantly degraded wetlands; c. creating wetlands on disturbed upland sites such as those with vegetative cover consisting primarily of exotic introduced species or noxious weeds. D. Mitigation Plans. 1. The mitigation plan shall be developed as part of a sensitive area study by a specialist approved by the Director. Wetland and /or buffer alteration or relocation Marx meats and SettingslAll Users \Deskmp\Kelly\MSDATA\Ordinanca \Welland Mitigation Cradas.doc GL:ksn 7/12!2007 Page 2 of 5 may be allowed only when a mitigation plan clearly demonstrates that the changes would be an improvement of wetland and buffer quantitative and qualitative functions. The plan shall follow the performance standards of TMC Chapter 18.45 and show how water quality, wihlife and fish habitat, and general wetland quality would be improved. 2. In order to achieve the City's goal of no net loss of wetland functions and acreage, alteration of wetlands will require the applicant to provide a restoration or creation plan to compensate for the impacts to the wetland and will compensate at a ratio of 1.5 :1. 3. Impacts to wetlands may be mitigated by enhancement of existing significantly degraded wetlands; however, in order to achieve the City's goal of no net loss of wetland functions and acreage, mitigation through enhancement must be compensated at a ratio of 3:1. Applicants proposing to enhance wetlands must produce a sensitive area study that identifies how enhancement will increase the functions of the degraded wetland and how this increase will adequately mitigate for the loss of wetland area and function at the impact site. An enhancement proposal must also show whether existing wetland functions will be reduced by the enhancement actions. 4. The DCD Director may approve, through a Type 2 decision, the transfer of mitigation to a wetland mitigation bank using the criteria in 4.a. through 4.d below. The Director must determine the number of wetland mitigation bank credits required to meet the mitigation ratios established in TMC Chapter 18.45. a. Off -site mitigation is proposed in a wetland mitigation bank that has been approved by all appropriate agencies, including the Department of Ecology, Corps of Engineers, EPA or other regulatory agencies; and b. The applicant provides a justification for the number of credits proposed; and c. The mitigation achieved through the number of credits required meets the intent of TMC Chapter 18.45; and d. The Director bases the decision on a written staff report, evaluating the equivalence of the lost wetland functions with the number of wetland credits required. E. Mitigation Location. 1. On -site mitigation shall be provided, except where the applicant can demonstrate that: a. On -site mitigation is not scientifically feasible due to problems with hydrology, soils, waves or other factors; or b. Mitigation is not practical due to potentially adverse impact from surrounding land uses; or c. Existing functional values created at the site of the proposed restoration are significantly greater than lost wetland functional values; or d. Established regional goals for flood storage, flood conveyance, habitat or other wetland functions have been established and strongly justify location of mitigation at another site. 2. Off -site mitigation shall occur within the same watershed where the wetland loss occurred. C:\Documants and Settings) l U_ sers \Desktoffeil}A`SSDATA\Ordinances \Wetland Mitigation Credits.dcw GL:ksn 7/17/2007 Page 3 of 5 3. Mitigation sites located within the Tukwila city limits are preferred. However, the Director may approve mitigation sites outside the city upon finding that: a. Adequate measures have been taken to ensure the non development and long -term viability of the mitigation site; and b. Adequate coordination with the other affected local jurisdiction has occurred. 4. In selecting mitigation sites, applicants shall pursue siting in the following order of preference: a. Upland sites that were formerly wetlands; b. Idled upland sites generally having bare ground or vegetative cover consisting primarily of exotic introduced species, weeds or emergent vegetation; c. Other disturbed upland; d. Existing degraded wetland. F. Mitigation Standards. The scope and content of a mitigation plan shall be decided on a case -by -case basis. As the impacts to the sensitive area increase, the mitigation measures to offset these impacts will increase in number and complexity. The components of a complete wetlands mitigation plan are as follows: 1. Baseline information of quantitative data collection or a review and synthesis of existing data for both the project impact zone and the proposed mitigation site. 2. Environmental goals and objectives that describe the purposes of the mitigation measures. This should include a description of site selection criteria, identification of target evaluation species, and resource functions. 3. Performance standards of the specific criteria for fulfilling environmental goals, and for beginning remedial action or contingency measures. They may include water quality standards, species richness and diversity targets, habitat diversity indices, or other ecological, geological or hydrological criteria. 4. A detailed construction plan of the written specifications and descriptions of mitigation techniques. This plan should include the proposed construction sequence and construction management, and be accompanied by detailed site diagrams and blueprints that are an integral requirement of any development proposal. 5. Monitoring and /or evaluation program that outlines the approach for assessing a completed project. An outline shall be included that spells out how the monitoring data will be evaluated by agencies that are tracking the mitigation project's progress. 6. Contingency plan identifying potential courses of action and any corrective measures to be taken when monitoring or evaluation indicates project performance standards have not been met. 7. Performance security or other assurance devices as described in TMC 18.45.210. G. Mitigation Timing. Mitigation projects shall be completed prior to activities that will permanently disturb wetlands and either prior to or immediately after activities that will temporarily disturb wetlands. Construction of mitigation projects shall be timed to reduce impacts to existing wildlife, flora and water quality, and shall be completed prior to use or occupancy of the activity or development. The Director may C:1Docwnents and SettingslAll UsersTesktop \KellyVMSDATA\Ordinance-Metland Mitigation C[edits.doc cl.:ksn 7/12/2007 Page 4 of 5 allow activities that permanently disturb wetlands prior to implementation of the mitigation plan under the following circumstances: 1. To allow planting or re- vegetation to occur during optimal weather conditions; 2. To avoid disturbance during critical wildlife periods; or 3. To account for unique site constraints that dictate construction timing or phasing. H. Permitted Uses Subject to Exception Approval. Other uses may be permitted upon receiving a reasonable use exception pursuant to TMC 18.45.180. A use permitted through a reasonable use exception shall conform to the procedures of TMC Chapter 18.45 and be consistent with the underlying zoning. Section 2. Severability. If arty section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance or its application to any person or situation should be held to be invalid or unconstitutional for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance or its application to any other person or situation. Section 3. Effective Date. This ordinance or a summary thereof shall be published in the official newspaper of the City, and shall take effect and be in full force five days after passage and publication as provided by law.

Limitation on single family expansions within non conforming setbacks; B. Retaining wall setback changes; C. Administrative variance for single family lot size; and D. Update to Permit Application Table at TMC 18.104.010. Staff presented these issues with various options to the Community Affairs and Parks (CAP) Committee on April 10, 2007. The Committee discussed each item and chose to forward them to the Planning Commission for a hearing and recommendation. The PC made only minor changes and their recommendations are reflected in the strikeout/underline language listed in the attached draft ordinances. The CAP reviewed the issues again on June 26 and recommended forwarding all items to the July 9 COW meeting. At that meeting no changes were made to item A. The Council reviewed revised language for item B, some alternatives are listed below. There was not consensus among the Council on item C and no recommendation was made. Item D is housekeeping and is dependant on the decision made on item C. DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS A. Limitation on single family expansions within non conforming setbacks No additional analysis provided. Q: \CODEAMND\2007Amend7- 16.DOC Page 1 B. Retaining Wall Setbacks The Council agreed to align the definition of structure in the Zoning and Building Codes to avoid confusion. There were several different ideas for the wording of item 4 of the proposed Retaining Wall Setback Waiver. The alternate language suggested for item 4 is shown below: 18.50.150 Retaining Wall Setback Waiver Retaining walls with an exposed height greater than four feet may be allowed in required front, side or rear yard setbacks under the following circumstances: 1. When the applicant's property is on the lower side of the retaining wall so that it is not visible from the adjacent property or is screened by landscaping, or 2. When a wall built on a property line or perpendicular to it benefits the lots on both sides and the owners of both properties agree to jointly maintain the wall, or 3. When a wall in a front yard is required due to roadway expansion or improvements, or PC Recommended Wording 4. When a wall or walls are needed to create a vehicular access road that meets Fire Depaitinent slope requirements and the exposed face either has a decorative /textured treatment or is screened with landscaping. OR- Council Wording Options 4. When a wall or walls are needed to create a vehicular access road to meet Fire Department slope requirements and the exposed face is either facing the applicant's property, has a decorative /textured treatment or is screened by landscaping. OR- Additional Option Delete 4 since the situation would already be covered by 1. A final option would be to keep the current prohibition on retaining walls over 4 feet high in yard setbacks. This would likely constrain development on some steeply sloping sites or require property owner(s) to apply for a variance. C. Administrative Variance for Lot Size The PC recommended creation of an administrative variance to the DCD Director for reductions in lot size of up to 500 sf per lot for up to two lots to streamline the process for lots that are just under the threshold for subdivision or where there is an existing house that prevents the lots from Q: \CODEAMND\2007Amend7- 16.DOC Page 2 being divided equally. Requests for greater reductions through a variance would still require a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner. At the COW meeting additional analysis of the number of lots that may be able to take advantage of the proposed administrative lot variance was requested by the Council, see Attachment A. Alternatives to the PC draft ordinance are: 1. Make no change to Tukwila's variance procedures and criteria. This would mean that division of lots under 13,000 sf would only be allowed under exceptional and unique circumstances. The City has never approved such a variance under the current Comprehensive Plan. 2. Review minimum lot sizes in single family areas throughout the City during the annual Comprehensive Plan amendment process. 3. Modify the proposed variance criteria or create additional criteria. D. Permit Processing Housekeeping There are a few decisions called out in the body of the Zoning Code that are not listed in the table at TMC 18.104.010 Classification of Project Permit Applications. In addition the proposed changes above, if adopted, would add a new decision to the code. For clarity all of the types of decisions should be listed along with the decision maker and appeal body. REOUES 1ED ACTION Adopt the ordinances as written or amended. Attachment A Administrative Lot Variance Examples Q:\CODEAWID\2007Amend7-16.DOC Page 3 Administrative Lot Variance Examples A search of Tukwila parcels shows 146 LDR zoned lots between 12,000 and 13,000 square feet in size. Of those 8 could not be subdivided due to the presence of wetlands or streams.
