City of Tukwila Steven lv!. lvlullet, lvlayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director TO: From: Date: City Council , XI ~ Steve Lancaster, DCD Directo~ May 3, 2006 ' Subject: Public hearing on an ordinance renewing a temporary moratorium on land divisions and certain land use decisions in the Longacrcs TOD planning area. Background In September 2002, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a six-month moratorium on the acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisions within the transit-oriented development '(TOD) planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail/Amtrak station (see Figure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at the station are in place. Ordinance 2107, renewing the moratorium, was adopted in November 2005 and expires June 5, 2006. Council must decide whether to renew the ordinance and hold a public hearing, or let the moratorium lapse. To date, Council has renewed the moratorium seven times, modifying it to provide more flexibility in use of the parcels while the TuJmila Urban Center (TOC) plan was being developed. When Ordinance 2107 was adopted, it was anticipated that the TOC Plan would be adopted by the end of2005, precluding any further need to renew the moratorium. However, other projects, such as the design of the permanent commuter rail station, the Tukwila South Master Plan, and the Westfield Southcenter Mall expansion, have taken priority over the review and adoption of the TUC Plan. At this time, TOC Plan adoption is now anticipated in the third quarter of2006. There is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until the plan for the area is adopted. On April 25, 2006, CAP authorized staff to forward the proposed ordinance to Council for a public hearing at their COW meeting on May 8, 2006. Notice for the public hearing on the moratorium was provided. In addition, individual letters were sent to affected property owners and businesses notifying them of the scheduled hearing. The proposed Ordinance is the same as that currently adopted. Attached is a copy of the proposed ordinance. Discussion The current ordinance: . Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to land di,isions and such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto-oriented businesses. . Exempts the filing of and approvals related to the expansion of existing businesses on existing lots, sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements, and the extension of a current land use permit.

Fax: 206.431-3665 . More uses are permitted in the TOD area than affected by the moratorium. The moratorium does not affect the filing of approvals related to all other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redeveIopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. The current ordinance also allows the City to preserve the land necessary for relocating the 100 foot- wide Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way to the area immediately adjacent to the western border of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad right-of-way Staff has not received any requests to modify the ordinance since the last renewal in November 2006. Proposed Next Steps 1. Council holds a public hearing on the moratorium at their COW meeting on May 8, 2006. 2. At the next regular meeting on May 15, 2005, Council has the following options: a) Adopt the proposed ordinance. Council renews the Ordinance and its provisions remain the same as the current Ordinance No. 2107 The moratorium remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and renew, modify, or allow it to lapse. b) Modify the proposed ordinance. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and either renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium. c) Take no action. When Ordinance No. 2107 expires on June 5, 2006, land divisions, development activities and land uses will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of the TUC vision and other transportation improvements may be more difficult. Conclusions . To date, Staff has not been made aware of any negative effects from the moratorium on plans to develop or redevelop properties in the TOD, most likely due to the limited scope of the moratorium. Should a specific project be proposed that falls outside the uses pennitted under the moratorium, Staff will consider the appropriateness of the project and bring it forward to the Council for deliberation. . Planning Commission and City Council worksessions and public hearings on the draft Tubvila Urban Center Plan will begin second quarter of2006. Plan adoption is anticipated in the third quarter of 2006. However, there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until that time. Reconunendations Place the adoption of the proposed ordinance on the consent agenda at the Council's next regular meeting on May 15, 2006. Set the effective date of the ordinance on June 5, 2006, when the current ordinance expires.

Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development StiNe Lancaster, Director NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING April 26, 2005 Dear Sir or Madam: The Tukwila City Council is consideriog renewing Ordinance No.2 I 07 establishing a temporary moratorium on certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for Transit-Oriented Development (TaD) around the temporary commuter rail/Amtrak station at Longacres (see Figure I). According to City records, your property or business may be affected by this moratorium. Consequently, we wanted to notify you of the public hearing on this ordinance scheduled for Monday, May 8, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, located in Tukwila City Hall, 6200 Southcenter Blvd. The moratorium is intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TaD are in place. Within the TOD area, the current ordinance: · Prohibits the :filing of aU permits and approvals related to: . land divisions . such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto-oriented businesses. . Allows the filing of and approvals related to: The expansion of existing businesses on existing lots. Sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements. . Allows the filing of approvals related to: All other uses currently allowed under TUC (Tukwila Urban Center) zoning which support and implement the vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelop able such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking. The current Ordinance, No. 2107, expires June 5, 2006. Council must hold a public hearing and decide whether to renew the ordinance or let the moratorium lapse. Planning for the TaD area is 6300 Southcenter Boulevara, Suite #100 . Tukwila, Washington 98188 . Phone: 206-431-3670 .

For additional information, or to obtain a copy of the proposed ordinance, please contact Ly11Il Miranda, Senior Planner, or Jack Pace, Deputy Director, at 206.431.3670. Sincerely, ~(t~ Jack Pace Deputy Director, Department of Co=unity Development Community Affairs and Parks Committee April 25, 2006 Present: Joan Hernandez, Chair; Joe Duffie, Pamela Linder, Rhonda Berry, Steve Lancaster, Brandon Miles, Bruce Fletcher, Scott Erdhal, Athletic Director, Tukwila School District; Chuck Parrish '* 1. Foster Golf Links Irrigation System. Bruce Fletcher explained that the Foster Golf Links irrigation system filters for the pump system that runs all of the irrigation system for the golf course is in critical need of being replaced. The 2006 CIP budget for this project is 535,000. Six qualified contractors from the Small Works Roster were asked to bid on the project. Only on~ contractor submitted a bid on the project. The base bid of $34,610 is below budget; however, when WSST is added in the amount ofS3,045 it will bring the total project to $37,655.68. The balance of the project costs ($2,655.68) plus a 5% contingency fund ($1,882.78) will be taken from the golf maintenance operating budget. Due to the potential damage that could occur if the pump system breaks down before the filters can be replaced, Bruce asked if the bid award could be forwarded to the Regular Meeting on Monday, May 1,2006. The Committee recommended awarding the contract to Golf Pumping Services, LLC and that the BID AWARD be placed on the consent agenda on the May I, 2006 Regular Meeting. 2. Commercial Development Solutions Contract Extension. Steve Lancaster explained that Lisa Verner's current contract for Project Management Services to the Tukwila Valley South Project expires at the end of April. Since he anticipates the city needing Lisa's services for several more months, he is proposing a contract amendment to extend the current contract through December 31, 2006. The proposed additional compensation for this extension would be "not to exceed" 560,000.00 bringing the total contract to $254,000. Councilmember Hernandez inquired as to whether the scope of services to be performed in Contract Amendment #3 would still apply Mr. Lancaster informed the committee that Lisa's priority will be to work on the Tukwila Valley South Project and work on long-range planning and emergency preparedness would only take place if there wasn't sufficient work required on the Tukwila Valley South Project. The Committee recommended approval to extend the Commercial Development Solutions Contract and forwarding it to the May 8, 2006 COW 3. TOD Moratorium Renewal. Steve Lancaster explained that the current moratorium on certain land divisions and development activities in the TOD planning area surrounding the Sounder Commuter Rail Station will expire on June 5, 2006. To date, Council has renewed the moratorium seven times, modifying it to provide more flexibility in what temporary uses are allowed while the TUC plan is being developed. He anticipates a TOD plan being presented to the council for adoption by the end of the year. In the meantime, there is still a need to keep the moratorium in place. The proposed Ordinance is the same as currently in effect, including a provision added at its last renewal that prohibits any pennitted or conditional uses on properties located within 100' of the BBSF Railroad right-of-way between 1-405 and Longacres Way, unless the property is to be developed under an approved developer agreement with the City After some discussion, the committee recommended approval of the proposed Ordinance extending the moratorium and forwarding it to the May 8th COW for a Public Hearing.
