THESE ARE RAW NOTES - NOT A VERBATIM TRANSCRIPT
Option #4 is what staff recommended.
I'm againstchanging anything. I'm for going with the Planning
Commission recommendation. Two things drive the decision. One
is, from the applicant, I heard nothing that said we have to do this.
We can't build the building. We can't occupy the building. We
can't use the facility. I heard nothing as an overwhelming need.
It's just20 additional parking spaces in a spot. The 2nd thing, the
(aerial) picture does it. Without a significant reason to do
something that would potentially harm developing the LOR, I'm
personally reluctant to do that.
I'mkinda leaning toward allowing C/LI but with conditions that
would address the residents' concerns. Most comments addressed
better buffers. If we grant the request, but require a higher barrier
of buffer, I'd beinfavorofthe rezone request.
I'm. unclear on. whether we can do that. I heard staff say we cannot
doa conditional permit.
There's a fine line and it gets pretty technical. A conditional rezone
is saying we will do this if a private property owner will do that. In
1996 or 1997, the State legislature adopted a new mechanism that
allows you to enter into a development agreement. You can do a
developers agreement that would allow you to accomplish basically
the same..thing.
When we approved the conditional use permit for this building
being constructed, it bothered me it was on property with several
different designations. We tried to make our zoning lines not split
properties. Here you have all of these small areas with different
zones. It makes sense to be 'zoned the same. Now that the
parking lotis in, it relates to the highway. It doesn't relate to the
residential. There is no access to 34th.
(aftercomments from Steve Lancaster) Fastforward years from
now, that building is old, it's going to be taken down and somebody
else wants tocome in with something that is allowed in the zone,
whichever zone we decide that is. Would there be any restrictions?

No. Therewouldbe no specific restrictions if they came in for
another kind of permit.
Justa$traight permit - will they have to do design review
Yes ,that's. rig ht.
Since we're not talking about putting in a parking lot, because there
already is a road through there, I wouldn't mind asking that the
fencing orbarrierbe extended. I think there would be more
protection by doing the MIC staff recommendation. Now that the
property has been developed, it's more valuable. I don't think
heavy industrial uses would be sited on the property that now has
greater value.
If we ask for a developer's agreement, I would ask for no access on
34th and I would want larger trees put in now for buffer on the
South,instead ofa wall. or a fence. I definitely want it to be all. one
zone. Notmixed. I, too, would choose option 4. It's a bit more
restrictive. (MIC).
I thinkthe developer has proven to me and others that since he's
come to Tukwila, that he wants to improve the look of the City.
Walking the property made me realize this is a no-brainer.
Will the Developer's Agreement carry with the land?
Yes.
50 that no access onto 34th is there til the City rezones or agrees to
change the developer's agreement?
That's correct. With one caveat. That is that the developer's
agreement only goes into effect if the property signs as well.
Could we also.add. one that says.no other use besides parking
spots?
We could do that.
So thattakescare of the issue of whether its MIC or C/LI. I'm not
saying it shouldn't all. be one, but with that caveat, no other use
besides parking would be aUowed.

Fencediscussions followed - temporary versus permanent; lights;
streetlights; trees;
I would make a request on the developer's agreement. After
speaking with Shelley Kerslake, she implied very strongly that
these kinds of agreements do nottravel with the land, or some
phrase like that;ifthe property is sold, they don't necessarily carry
oVer. So, I would really like to see something from the City
Attorney saying that is true. I hope it is.
We cangetthat for you. My understanding is that they can run with
the land if so specifically stated within the agreement that it runs
with the land and is binding upon successors. I'm pretty sure about
this and will confirm with .the City Attorney.
I still would recommend it beMIC/L. On the odd chance the
developer's.agreement doesn't go with it, you still have the
protectionof the 20,OOO(inaudible) office. At least when we have
an owner, they probably would offer to put larger trees in.
And, the otherthing is that it should be a limited use for parking
only.
No.
Why?
We have the right to disagree with you.
Statements about lights - shining into homes - lets just remove 'em
all and forget about it.
Jim, can we get a consensus on this? It's 10 o'clock already.
We need to.find an option here, I think, is all we need to do.
OK
I think we have a consensus on the change (MIC vs. MIC/L) but I'll
go around again. Joe. Change from LOR to MIC/L?
I don't care. Yes, yes, yes.
It would be preferable to have it zoned all the same, so I agree to
MIC/L.I agree to the stipulation of no access on 34th. And, I agree

tcthelargerbuffer for trees and landscaping, but I would still like to
see a higher retaining wall. I would also like to have the stipulation
thatit'sn9other use than a parking lot because that's evidently
what it's needed for and I think that's fine. I don't know if I would
wanttohave to justify to the residents that we allowed another
building to be built there.
I've already stated mine.
The trees and the access are the only two I'm interested in and the
numberfour(inaudible)
Lagreewith that. The lease for Homeland Security is for 10 years.
Is that correct?
Yes.
Can they renew it after 1 0 years? Well, my guess is that's what's
gonna happen. So, we have a minimum of 10 years that that's the
same parking lot. Because they're not going to put an office on
there while it's Homeland Security.
My opinion is that you can't guarantee anything years on down the
road - on this, or any other project.
No more.
I agree with my colleagues. MIC/L. Make that change. And, the
trees and no access.
So does option 4 sound like what the consensus is leaning
towards?
Yes. Yeah. Uh-huh.
You want the landowners to put in bigger trees. I don't agree with
that myself. Take my vote hdW you want. I dunno.
Alright. So, Steve, where do we go from there, on that issue?
I just want to clarify. I understand that it's option 4 (MIC/L) with two
provisions. . One is no access onto 34th and larger trees and buffers.
There is no consensus on the "only parking" or "increased barrier
wall on thesouth." Do I have that right.

You havethatright. That is correct. Yes. Uh-huh?
Let's run through that one more time.
OK. We'll COrne back to you too. But my understanding is a
proposal to change the zoning to MIC/L. To enter into an
agreement that would prohibit access to 34th Street and that would
require larger trees on the buffer, on the south.
That's correct.
That'swhat I heard.
OK. I think you have the consensus of Council. So, what's the
nextstep, getting back to my question.
We'll draw up the proposal on this proposed agreement that would
then comeback to you when you make your final decision. We'll
bring it back to you as soon as it's drafted to ensure you have it to
take a lookatit. You can tuck it away in your notebook until it's
considered in the end.
Would the agreement with the applicant come forward to the
Council also?
Yes.
OK..Soundsgood..next item...
