Resolution No.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 'TIJIG\'lLA,
WASHINGTON, APPROVING Ai'l OFF-SITE V>'ETLAND !\-llTIGATION
PROGRAM ON CITY-OWNED PROPERTIES, AND AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR TO NEGOTIATE AGREEMTh'TS Y>-'ITH DEVELOPERS FOR USE
OF CITY-OWNED PROPERTY FOR WETLAND !\-llTIGATION.
WHEREAS, in an effort to address the increasing p=sure for development in
TukwiJa on properties that have wetlands, staff has proposed a program for off-site
wetland mitigation when on.site alternatives are not adequate; and
WHEREAS, the proposed program has been conceived to help facilitate
development, particularly for small developers, while at the same time providing
environmental benefits by directing mitigation for many small wetland losses to larger
or more highly functioning sites; and
WHEREAS, the proposed program could help the City achieve some of the goals of
the WRIA 9 Salmon Habitat Enhancement Plan, such as development of riparian
wetland areas along the GreenjDuwarnish River; and
WHEREAS, projects under the CIP, where wetland mitigation is needed, could
benefit from this proposed program; and
WHEREAS, the Sensitive Areas Ordinance allows for off-site wetland mitigation
when on-site mitigation is not scientifically feasible; or not practical, due to adverse
impacts from sunounding land uses; or functional values created at the proposed
restorationj enhancement site are significantly greater than lost functions; or regional
goals have been established and justify location of mitigation off-site; and
WHEREAS, staff evaluated possible alternatives for off.site mitigation programs
and sites, and determined that the proposed alternative of consolidated mitigation on
certain City-owned properties is the most straightfonvard approach, which would
make the developer responsible for designing and implementing wetland mitigation
under staff supervision;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TlJ1O\'ILA,
WASHINGTON HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The concepts of the Off.Site Wetland Mitigation Program (contained in
the attached Staff Report - "Off-Site Wetlnnd lvfitigatirm Program far Tukwila," April 24,
2006) are hereby approved.
Section 2 The Mayor of the City of Tukwila is hereby authorized to enter into
agreements willi developers for using portions of Oty-owned properties for off-site
wetland mitigation.
