INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
TO: TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Carol Lumb, Senior Planner
DATE: December 10, 2009
SUBJECT: Shoreline Master Program Ordinances and Cumulative Impacts Analysis
Attached you will find four ordinances related to adoption of the City's Shoreline Master
Program and the Cumulative Impacts Analysis required by the Department of Ecology. The
Council provided direction on revisions to three of the ordinances at its meeting on December 7,
2009 which are reflected in the materials in your packet and discussed below. There were no
revisions to the fourth ordinance, adopting new definitions for TMC 18.06, the definitions chapter
of the Zoning Code.
Review of the Draft Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Update began on July 24, 2008 with a
joint City Council /Planning Commission briefing on the major aspects of the proposed program.
The Planning Commission then met over a period of six months during which it reviewed the
document in detail, held three Open Houses and conducted a public hearing on August 2, 2008
that was continued to October 9, 2008 to allow additional time for public review and comment of
the document. The Planning Commission approved a Shoreline Master Program on February
5, 2009 and forwarded it to the Council for its review. Another Open House was held on
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 for interested parties to obtain information about the Planning
Commission Recommended Shoreline Master Program.
The City Council was briefed on the Planning Commission Recommended Draft SMP March 23,
2009 and then met from July 7, 2009 to November 17, 2009 for a total of ten work sessions to
review the Planning Commission Recommended SMP. The work sessions were concluded on
November 17, 2009 and staff was directed to prepare ordinances to adopt and implement a new
shoreline master program. The Council reviewed four draft ordinances at the Committee of the
Whole meeting on November 23, 2009 and also heard public comments on the SMP at this
meeting. The Council continued its review of the ordinances at its meeting on December 7,
2009. At both meetings the Council provided direction to staff on revisions to make to the
ordinances. Over the past six months, Councilmembers have also met with staff and the City
Attorney to discuss various issues related to the shoreline.
The four ordinances are attached and reflect direction provided by the Council to staff to -date as
follows:
Ordinance #1 is the ordinance adopting the Shoreline Master Program. Attached to this
ordinance are the pages from the SMP that have been revised as a result of Council action on
11/23/09 and 12/7/09. The changes discussed at the 12/7/09 meeting have been accepted
