The property is a triangular shaped parcel which measures 2.36 acres and is bounded by South 133rd Street and South 135th Street or 42nd Avenue South. A petition for the annexation has been received by the City and certified by the City Clerk to be correct. The King County Boundary Review Board is currently reviewing the proposed annexation to determine if it will waive jurisdiction. 1. King County zoning of the property is S -R (Suburban Residential). Proposed Tukwila zoning is M -1 (Light Industrial). (Exhibit A). 2. The Tukwila Comprehensive Plan designation of the property is Light Industrial. 3. Proposed development of the parcel would be with a single story office /warehouse structure with approximately 30,337 square feet. 4. The site is currently developed with two single family structures which front on 42nd Avenue South that are proposed to be demolished. 5. The land uses which surround the site are varied, although the two predominant uses are light industrial and low density residential. (Exhibit B). The light industrial uses in the area include Normed, at 4310 South 131st Place, a medical supplies warehouse and distribution center; World Tire, in the Fostoria Industrial Business Park at 4435 South 134th Place, a wholesaler of tires, custom wheels and shocks; and Farwest Paints, at 4522 South 133rd Street, a processor, retailer and wholesaler of paints. Several businesses in the Fostoria Business Park also have Conditional Use Permits for truck ter- minals. 6. A City of Tukwila ordinance was adopted in 1979 to establish a land use plan and zoning regulations, should the area, commonly referred to as Riverton, become annexed to the City. (Exhibit C). The subject property in this annexation and rezone application was included in the previous Riverton annexation area and therefore has a proposed Tukwila zoning classification from 1979 of R- 1 -7.2. 85 -46 -R: FOSTORIA ANI•ATION REZONE November 21, 1985 Page 2 7. Effects of the proposal: "Chapter 21.20 SR Suburban Residential SR Dimensional Standards a. The purpose of the existing King County zoning classification, S -R (Suburban Residential), is to provide for the orderly transition of areas presently largely suburban in character but which are rapidly becoming urbanized. The minimum size of sites is kept large for rural purposes until development occurs. S -R is applied to areas in a transitional stage, and which are changing or are expected to change, in character in the light of increasing need for urban development. Permitted uses include those allowed in the RS Single Family Dwelling and in the SE Suburban Estate classifications. A density of two single residential units on the property would have been permited as well as townhouses in a planned unit development. Uses would be limited to agriculture and single family residential units and per- mitted non residential uses such as churches, libraries and parks. The minimum lot area is thirty -five thousand square feet. Provides for the orderly transition of areas from a suburban to an urban character. Within this classification, small scale and intensive agricultural pursuits may be mixed with deve- loping urban subdivision. Lot Area: 5 acres except that the area may be reduced through subdividing: 7200 or 9600 square feet with sewers, water, paved streets, curbs, sidewalks, drainage 15,000 square feet with approved water and sewage systems, paved streets, walkways 35,000 square feet with approved water and sewage disposal systems Minimum lot width: 330 feet unless platted Front Yard Depth: 30 feet unless platted Side Yard Depth: 10 feet unless platted Rear Yard Depth: 10 feet unless platted Lot Coverage: 35 percent Height: 30 feet except for agricultural buildings" b. The purpose of the R -1 -7.2 zone, the classification formerly propsed for the parcel, is to stabalize and preserve low density single family resi- dential neighborhoods. The maximum permitted density would be approxima- tely eleven lots with a subdivision. The area surrounding the parcel, 85 FOSTORIA ANNTION REZONE November 21, 1985 Page 3 however, has not had a history of single family subdivision. Single family development, particularly in light of the adjacent industrial development within the same block, is unlikely. c. The purpose of the proposed M -1 classification is to provide area appropriate for light industrial uses which are non nuisance activities in terms of air and water pollution, noise, vibration, glare and odor. The M -1 classification is requested to accommodate a warehouse /office structure. The proposed development would intensify the use of the par- cel and of the surrounding area. Due to the cascading zoning districts, the number and type of uses will be increased from single family residen- tial and agricultural uses to high density residential, commercial, or light industrial uses. Conditional uses permitted in the less restric- tive districts would also become conditional in the M -1. Among permitted uses in the M -1 zone are: 1. Manufacturing, processing and /or packing of foods, pharmaceuticals and related products, and previously prepared materials such as clothing or furniture. 2. Body or engine repair shops. 3. Warehouse storage and wholesale distribution facilities. The restrictions in the M -1 district include a height limit of 45 feet or 4 stories, a front yard setback of 25 feet, and a rear yard requirement of 5 feet. 8. The area east of 42nd Avenue slopes downward toward Interurban Avenue and SR 599. The use of the slope as a natural barrier between the two different industrial versus residential uses can be an effective and appropriate tool. 9. Compatibility with Comprehensive Land Use Plan The 1975 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map for Tukwila designated the subject parcel as light industrial. The revised 1982 Comprehensive Land Use Map also designates the subject parcel as light industrial. Therefore, the proposed M -1 classification would be in accordance with the adopted land use plan. 10. Stability of District The commercial structures colored on the Land Use exhibit (Exhibit B) are primarily vacant or questionably either commercial or residential. The area surrounding the subject parcel east of 42nd Avenue South and around the SR 599 interchange seems to be in a transition. Many single family structures in the area have been demolished and building activity for industrial structures is occuring. 85 -46 -R: FuSTORIA AN•ATION REZONE November 21, 1985 Page 4 11. Following environmental review of the SEPA Checklist on the proposed rezone to M -1 and development of the parcel with an approximate 30,000 square foot warehouse /office structure, a DNS (Determination of Non Significance) was issued. Several environmental concerns were raised during review and attached as conditions of the DNS. a. A landscaped buffer would be designed and planted along 42nd Avenue to screen the industrial use from the single family uses west of 42nd Avenue South. b. Orientation of the development would be towards 134th Place. Traffic access would be limited to 42nd Avenue South north of 133rd Street and to South 134th Place and South 133rd Street. c. Oil /water separators would be provided in all parking areas and a drainage system to handle on and off site drainage would be designed and installed. 12. The circulation map within the City's Comprehensive Plan designates South 133rd Street and 42nd Avenue South south of South 133rd Street as collector arterials. These are meant to provide movement within smaller areas or defi- nable neighborhoods and are not meant for large amounts of "through" traffic. 13. When an area is effectively annexed, the property(ies) become unclassified and subject to the restrictions of the R -1 -12.00 zone (TMC 18.08.020) until classified by ordinance. CONCLUSIONS 1. The proposed annexation of the parcel into Tukwila makes it expedient for the City to zone the area in conformance with TMC 18. 2. The proposed classification of M -1 (Light Industrial) is in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan and Map and the provisions of Title 18 of the Tukwila Municipal Code. The classification is also consistent with the following specific goals, policies and objectives of the Plan. Commerce /Industry Goal 1 (p. 18) "Assure healthy economic growth through increased employment diversification and strengthening of business and industry." Objective 2 (p. 62) "Provide adequate opportunity for industrial and warehouse uses." Natural Environment Objective 1 (p. 24) "Recognize the aesthetic, environmental and use benefits of vegetation and promote its retention and installation." 85 -4SPR: FOSTORIA ANNITION REZONE November 21, 1985 Page 5 EXHIBITS Residence Policy 2 (p. 24) "Encourage the use of live vegetation in development landscape plans." RECOMMENDATION Objective 1, policy 1 (p. 45) "Use natural features, like topography, to separate incompatible land uses from the residential areas." Objective 3, policy 1 (p. 49) "Encourage the use of vegetative or fence like screens adjacent to...noisy use districts to protect residential areas from high noise levels." 3. The proposed M -1 classification would reflect the zoning which adjoins the subject parcel within the block as well as the zoning in the area surrounding the intersection of SR 599 and South 133rd Street. 4. The proposed M -1 designation would classify a parcel to be annexed to the City of Tukwila and would reflect the surrounding industrial uses in the area. 5. The residential uses which are developed along 42nd Avenue South will be screened from the proposed industrial use by the existing slope along the easterly right -of -way margin of 42nd Avenue South and by the conditions of the SEPA DNS. Based upon the above the Planning Commission may wish to recommend approval of M -1 (Light Industrial) zoning for the parcel commonly referred to as the Fostoria Annexation.
