MEMORANDUM
Date: August 27, 2003
TO: Tukwila City Council
FROM: Steve Lancaster, Department of Community Development
SUBJECT: ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS FOR 2003
Background
On August 25, 2003, the Council was briefed on the Planning Commission's
recommendations regarding the three proposed Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code
amendments that were submitted for consideration during the 2002 -2003 annual
amendment process.
I. L02 -062 Comprehensive Plan amendment—Office in MIC/II
L02 -063 Zoning Code Amendment Office in MIC/H
The Council asked staff to provide some additional information regarding the
proposed amendment to allow office in the MIC/H zone. The Council asked for
the following:
1. Are there any examples of existing water dependent industrial uses in the
Duwamish corridor?
Delta Marine is a water related industry located on the Duwamish River and they
manufacture boats and yachts. It is located at 1608 South 96' Street, Seattle on
the west side of the River. Jorgensen Steel located at 8431 East Marginal Way
South, Tukwila uses the River for transportation of some of their materials by
barges.
2. What are the regulatory/environmental issues with the redevelopment of
these properties for water dependent uses?
Any development within 200 feet of the shoreline is subject to shoreline
substantial development permit. At this time the area north of the tuming basin is
subject to King County Shoreline Master Program that is administered by the City
of Tukwila. The setbacks for non -water related uses(commercial and industrial)

are 50 feet from the ordinary high water mark or twenty feet from edge of the
floodway, whichever is greater. There are provisions to reduce this setback if the
development provides public access. However water dependent industrial use is
not required to maintain a shoreline setback.
If the redevelopment of any of the parcels includes any work in, over or under
navigable waters of the United States a permit is required from the US Army
Corps of Engineers to ensure that navigation is not adversely affected. Typically
shoreline stabilization methods that have least impact on habitat to properly serve
the water dependent uses are required.
Following is a summary of the Planning Commission's Recommendation:
Planning Commission recommended the following:
1. Allow new office developments in the MIC/H zone as Conditional Uses and
subject to the following restrictions:
a) The maximum size of new office developments shall not exceed 100,000
square feet of gross floor area per lot that was legally established prior to
mm/dd/yy (the effective date of the adoption of the ordinance).
b) No new offices shall be allowed on lots that abut the Duwamish River and are
north of the turning basin. The parcels that are ineligible for stand -alone office
uses are shown on the map attached to the ordinance.
2. An existing office development established prior to 12/11/1995 (the effective date
of the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan) may be allowed to exceed the
maximum size limitations and/or convert to a stand -alone office use subject to
obtaining Conditional Use approval.
Also, attached is the draft ordinance for the public hearing.
