Dear Council Members:
November 3, 1988
This letter is to explain why the proposed zoning text
amendment ordinance for the Thorndyke annexation does not
contain broader design review provisions even though such
provisions have been discussed in connection with this
annexation.
The recommendation to expand the design review require-
ments resulted from the hearings and deliberations of the
planning commission. This was not an area the planning
commission had been asked to address and therefore the
published notice of the hearing made no specific mention of
this area of consideration. Since the recommendation was to
place further restrictions on the use of property, and since
the amendment would affect all existing properties in Tukwila,
it is our opinion that another hearing should be held with
more specific notice thereof given. This may be an excess
of caution but since there will have to be a hearing on the
"cascading" issue, design review issues can be heard at the
same hearing without causing any further delay.
It should be noted that this opinion is, in part, based
upon the city -wide restrictive impact of the code amendments.
This differs from the text amendments contained in the Fire
District #1 and Riverton ordinances, where the changes were
site - specific to properties within those annexation areas or
allowed more liberal rather than more restrictive uses on
city -wide properties. In those cases there is far less
concern about challenges based upon lack of specific notice

CITIZEN'S COMMENTS
Tukwila Historical Janelle Baldwin, audience, President of the Tukwila Historical Society,
Society stated she has been concerned because the storage area and vault where
the Society has kept historical objects has been entered. The storage
area has been cleared and the library is now using the area. In 1978
the Society was given access to two areas by referendum in the library
building. The items stored in the storage area were mainly furniture
such as chairs, two doors of value and a table.
Mayor Van Dusen stated that due to the need of space for the library
it was necessary to use that storage space. The doors have been put
in a dry crawl space and the chairs are being used by the library.
Councilmembers voiced the opinion that the Historical Society should
have been notified that the space was needed for the library and the
whereabouts of the contents of the room made known to the Society.
Louise Strander, audience, stated she received a call from the City
Clerk explaining the need for the storage area in the absence of
Janelle Baldwin and Joan Davis. She assumed a follow -up letter would
be sent to.the Historical Society.
Mayor Van Dusen stated the material from the storage room did not
leave the library building.
Chairman Bauch requested that a report on the matter be sent to the
Community Affairs Committee.
Councilmember Moriwaki noted that this and the next discussion on
the Thorndyke annexation is not a second public hearing asindicated on
the agenda.
Jack Pace, Senior Planner, explained the City zoning versus County
zoning. The area being discussed is near the Park and Ride lot.

Chairman Bauch stated it was the consensus of the Council that they
accept the Planning Commission and Task Force recommendation of single
family low density for Area 4.
P -0 & Design Rev. Moira Bradshaw, Associate Planner, said the text amendment dealt with
the P -0 and design review. The design review has been distributed to
the Councilmembers. Some things have been added to the design review.
This has been summarized under Scope of Authority. It is, in essence,
any development in the City, and this would include any areas that
annex to the City, would be subject to design review except single
family homes, developments of less than 10,000 gross square feet of
building area in C -1, C -2, C -P and CM except when they abut or are
across the street from residential uses or districts and within 200
feet of the Green River and all developments in M -1 and M -2 except when
they abut or are across the street from residential uses or districts
and within 200 feet of the Green River.

Amendments for the
Thorndyke annexation
area (Second Hearing)
Mayor Van Dusen declared the public hearing open on the
pre- annexation zoning and comprehensive plan amendments
for the Thorndyke annexation area located south of
South 144th and north of South 160th from Pacific
Highway to the current City boundary on the east.

Hazel Ketchersid, 14637 - 51st Avenue South, said she
has lived on her street since 1930. She and her neigh-
bors are interested in what is happening to their area.
She requested that Council change the Planning
Commission's recommendation for the property west of
51st Avenue South from South 144th to South 154th, from
R -3 to R -4. She stated the following reasons: R -4
Zoning is more in line with the present King County RM
2400 Zoning - they have paid taxes on this zoning for
over 20 years - Developers feel there is no way they can
recover their cost of developing this property if the
number of units is limited to that designated in the R -3
Zone. The only way the street can be improved is for
developers to be allowed to develop it. She added that
when she and her husband were going to build their home
in 1949, banks would not grant a loan for their area
because it was too run down.
Donna Swanberg, 14809 51st Avenue South, explained that
she has lived next to the Ketchersids for 17 years.
They have put a lot of time and money into remodeling
their home. With the zoning change, everyone on the
street feels they are forced to sell their homes before
the annexation takes place because afterward, the deve-
lopment costs will be high. This is the reason they are
requesting that they retain the RM 2400.
Myrtle Roberson, 14859 51st Avenue South, said they are
neighbors of the Swanbergs and have lived their since
1949. They have been very happy with the area, it is a
small Community and a small School District. With the
on -set of the freeway and the shopping mall, their
street became a thoroughfare. The freeway has created a
lot of traffic noise, they never leave their doors open.
Their land value has gone down considerably because of
this noise from the freeway. They did not ask to be
zoned 2400, King County felt that is what it should be
and increased their taxes accordingly. They are willing
to come into Tukwila but feel they should retain their
2400.
Melvin Roberson, 14859 51st Avenue South, discussed the
same area as previous speakers. He, along with the rest
of the property owners, would like to retain their pre-
sent County zoning of RM 2400. They have been paying
taxes based on this, the zoning is correct.
Improvements to the street will have to be borne by the
City unless the zoning is raised to R -4. This would

allow a developer to install new utilities and upgrade
the street. There have been no new homes built along
here since 1959. He asked Council to hold to the County
Zoning of RM 2400.
Phillip Swanberg, 14809 51st Avenue South, reviewed what
the previous speakers had said. They are requesting an
equivalent designation of R -4 with 2400 square feet size
restriction. The King County 2400 has been in effect on
their property for 20 years. Development costs are con-
siderable and are not economically feasible for develo-
pers under the R -3 Zoning proposed. Development of this
property will bring improvements to the utilities and
streets. There is a Right -of -way along the west side of
51st Avenue South already designated for improvements of
the street. Topography on the back of this property is
quite steep and provides a natural buffer. He thanked
Council for listening to them.
Clifford Godwin, 15819 42nd Avenue South, explained that
his property is now zoned single - family residential but
would be more fair to have it as a buffer zone around
the commercial and RMH development. He felt R -2 or R -3
would be better zoning.
Pastor Gary Cowden, 15880 Military Road South, from the
Riverton Heights Presbyterian Church. He explained that
the church property lies on the boarder of the Thorndyke
annexation. The map indicates that this property is
designated single - family residential. The church has
been located here since 1931. They would like the pro-
perty zoned to reflect the Church Ministry and the
potential for growth.
Vern Merryhew, 4431 South 148th, stated that as a member
of the Task Force, he would support C -2 Zoning for the
church property. This zoning would match the rest of
the area.
Robert Aldrich, 4059 South 158th, said he owns a very
large piece of property with a single house on it which
is completely surrounded by large complexes of con-
dominiums. He asked Council to consider upgrading the
zoning on his property for multiple use.
Cecelia Wheeler, 3723 South 150th, asked Council what
kind of services she is going to get should her property
come into Tukwila. She has some real concerns about
cost. Mayor Van Dusen referred her to a pamphlet put
out by the City that should answer her questions.
Cecil Hendricks, 4234 South 154th, explained that his
property lies between a large apartment complex and a 15
unit apartment. He asked to have the RMH Zoning, to his
east, extended to include his property and the 15 unit
apartment.
There being no further comments from the audience, Mayor
Van Dusen closed the Public Hearing.

Alan Pachuck, speaking for Audrey Bullock, 4011 South
139th, under the King County zoning her property is
zoned high -use commercial; under the proposed Tukwila
zoning she would be single family. On one side of her
property there is a hotel, across the street there is a
hotel, and in back of her a laundromat. For single
family, her property is worthless. She has been paying
taxes on high use property and this is the only way she
can sell it. She would like the zoning to stay commer-
cial or multi unit.
Alva Davis, 13806 Macadam Road South, said she has lived
at this address since 1965. She signed a petition two
weeks ago asking for commercial zoning on the property
east of Macadam Road. She doesn't really care as long
as all of the property east of Macadam Road is zoned the
same otherwise, it will split the neighborhood. Her
King County zoning is for apartments. The noise from
the freeway is so bad you do not open the windows. The
area from South 144th to South 136, east of Macadam
Road should all be zoned the same.
Peter Thomson, owns of property at 13450 51st Avenue South
that is currently zoned P -0. He was on the Task Force
for the Foster annexation. They do want to become a
part of Tukwila. They are in `avor of the P -0 zoning
but would like to see some latitude. Until this
evening, they did not know Council was considering
deleting the Cascade zoning. They would like the P -0
with R -4 use, if not this, then C -1.
Ken Eldridge, 4821 South 136th, said he bought his home
about 6 months ago but has lived in the area all his
life. The freeway noise does not bother them. He has a
nice big yard where his son can play. A house about 50
feet from the freeway sold recently. He feels the area
between Macadam Road and the Freeway should stay
residential.
Mildred Sarri, 13535 53rd Avenue South, said she agrees
with what Mr. Thomson had to say. They came to the
meeting with one idea and now it is going to be changed.
She wondered if the property that sold, was sold at a
loss or if the new owner is planning to do something
else with the property.

Norris Sarri, 13535 53rd Avenue South, feels that apart-
ment living is a little different than single - family.
Apartments are built more solid, better insulated for
noise control. Apartment dwellers are more apt to be
away from the property during the day and not out
working in the yard like single family owners are.
Apartment units would be more suitable for the noisier
areas. They would like to sell their property for a good
price but with R -1 zoning, it is not appropriate for the
area. People will not buy a house in this area to live
in. He asked Council to reconsider the cascading zoning
for their area so they will have more opportunities to
sell their property. He proposed that the property be
zoned commercial or P -0 with cascading zoning.
Roy Dailey, 14220 and 14228 41st Avenue South, said his
property is located one block west of Foster High
School. First, he explained that he does not live in
the area but would like a chance to vote on this.
Second, there has been considerable comment about noise
pollution along the freeway, there is also emissions
pollution from the vehicular traffic. A lot of the area
along the freeway in King County is greenbelt, Tukwila
should look into this possibility.
Larry Howe, 13568 139th Place SE, Renton, owns property
along Macadam Road South of South 138th. The more of
these meetings he attends, the more confused he becomes.
There has been much said about the areas adjacent to the
freeway not being suitable for single - family - or multi
family for that matter. The area lends itself more to
commercial activities. Development problems could be
discussed later. It doesn't seem practical that people
would buy this property for residential. C -M seems
reasonable with cascading zoning. If the property is
not suitably zoned to sell, you could create a greenbelt
while not really intending to. He would like to see C -M
or RMH with some flexibility.
Terri Craig, 5306 South 137th, has lived on this pro-
perty for 15 years. They bought here with the
understanding they would raise their family, have the
property zone apartments and sell to a developer. They
would like P -0 zoning - unclassified. This is what they
agreed to at the Task Force meetings. Maybe it should
be C -1 which would allow P -0. The only way to get the
property developed is to get the zoning so a developer
can afford to do it.
Joan Merryhew, 4431 South 148th, representing Eleanor
Whitmore who lives at 14006 Macadam Road. Mrs. Whitmore
would like to live her remaining days in her single
family home without being pushed out by commercial.
Mrs. Merryhew said she has noticed that directly across
the freeway they have moved in at least three single -
family homes. Maybe a greenbelt is a good suggestion
for some of this property. Mrs. Whitmore agreement with
duplexes of triplexes for the property under long range
planning.
Pam Carter, 4115 South 139th, clarified that Audrey
Bullock's house on South 139th is currently zoned RM
1800.

REPORTS
LID #32
o /68
Thomas Whitley, 14240 41st Avenue South, owns three
pieces of property and two businesses in the annexation
area. One of his major concerns is what are the taxes
going to be like after the annexation. Also, it con-
cerns him that mobile homes are not allowed in Tukwila.
If an existing one is destroyed he understands that it
could not be replaced. This eliminates the use he has
planned for his property. He understands this annexa-
tion was started in April 1988 and wonders what the
hurry is to get this through. Annexation should be
looked at very closely because it is going to affect our
taxes greatly.
Dave Whitlow pointed out his property on the map and
said that at this time they do not know how to develop
this whole piece. It will depend on how roads and uti-
lities can be developed. We should have the flexibility
to decide with the Planning Commission and the City
Council together at the time we want to propose a deve-
lopment. Committing hard and fast right now is a
mistake, it should be kept flexible.
David Craig, 5306 South 137th, explained that their pro-
perty is a buffer zone between the Terrace Apartments
and Commercial. If their area is designated P -0 without
cascading zoning that is not what the Task Force
discussed. If we had known abou this change, we would
have asked for C -1 so we would ave had some flexibi-
lity.
Eva Painter, 13526 53rd Avenue South, explained that
they tried to sell their home as residential and could
not sell it. Finally, through the County they were
zoned RM 2400 and they put it up for sale again - and it
sold. The house was divided into four apartments but
the owners could not make a go of it so they had to let
it go. They need higher zoning in this area to make
sale of their property desirable.
There being no other comments from the floor, Mayor Van
Dusen closed the Public Hearing.
Council declared a recess.
Mayor Van Dusen called the Regular Meeting of the
Tukwila City Council back to order with all Council
Members present.
Council Member Moriwaki, Transportation Committee,
reported that the engineers have discovered the sewer
pipe installed under LID #32 is settling. It will take
$30,000 more to correct the problem. The soil in which
the pipe is installed is inadequate. Also, the pipe was
mismeasured; they were short by 6 ". It will take $4,000
to correct this. We are responsible for these projects.
John McFarland, City Administrator, explained that test
borings were taken on either side of the street but not
in the middle. It appears that there is a vain of peat
that the pipe has been placed over and there was no way
to determine visually that the peat was there. Because
of vibration of traffic over the street, there has been
some settlement. The consultant has proposed a solution

Lawrence Hard, Attorney, reported that they are still

taking a firm stand; the offer is a good one.
Council President Harris reported that Council had
received a letter from the Chamber about a telephone

poration. This survey was done as part of their
contract with the City. As part of this, they had a
question relating to the Mayor's salary. It was
suggested that Council should have reviewed the
questions prior to the survey. The Chamber said they

Mayor Van Dusen asked for the clarification of a motion made
by Council Member Bauch at the September 26, 1988, meeting
concerning cascading zoning. Council Member Bauch explained
that the intent of the motion is to eliminate cascading
zoning. It is mainly aimed at the present City. If
approved, it will revise the zoning code. This will control
the building of high density residential in commercial zones.
Council Member Robertson explained that there would be no
residential cascading allowed in commercial or industrial
zoning. If this passes, you cannot build any residential
developments on property zoned for commercial business or
industrial.

MEMORANDUM
Review of the Riverton, Foster and Thorndyke annexation proposals have elicited concerns over
quality of development and questions about a level of review comparable to that currently
required within the City. The Planning Commission made two separate recommendations on this
subject following the public hearings. These recommendations combined with several other
recent amendments to the design review section of the zoning code necessitate clarification and
summary of when and what type of development would come before the Board of Architectural
Review.
1. Development within 200 feet of the Green River requiring a shoreline permit.
2. a Commercial development in excess of 10,000 square feet in
RMH

c. Exterior modification in excess of 10,000 square feet of building area of existing
commercial development in

3. Development of multi - family in excess of twelve (12) units in

4. Development exceeding basic height limits.
5. Development north of 1 -405 and east of 1 -5 in all zones excluding single - family homes.
6. Developments which receive a design review condition through a rezone or other land use
action of the City Council or by the SEPA official.
NOW BEING CONSIDERED
The following are additional recommendations pending before the City Council that are a result
of Riverton:
1. Require design review for developments in CM districts adjacent to residential areas.
and Foster/Thorndyke:
2. Require design review for all development with the exclusion of single - family homes;
development Tess than 10,000 square feet in C2, CP and CM districts; and development
in M1 and M2 districts.
ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION
Residential areas adjacent to M1 and M2 should be added to provide consistence in the level of
review. In addition, Planning staff suggests that when commercial development in excess of
10,000 occurs in residential areas, review is warranted.
At this point, it becomes simpler and more understandable to list when review is not required
than when it is required. A consolidation of the existing code and pending recommendations is as
follows:
18.60.030 Scope of Authority
A. Any development in the City (and in areas that annex) will be subject to design review
with the following exceptions:
(1) Single- family homes.
(2) Developments Tess than 10,000 gross square feet of building area in C1, C2, CP
and CM districts, except when abutting or across the street from residential uses
or districts or within 200 feet of the Green /Duwamish River that requires a
shoreline permit.
Concerns about development in PO districts, which more often abut residential, are as acute as
those expressed for other districts. Therefore, staff suggests adding PO to the above list of
districts.
(3) Developments in M1 and .M2 districts except when abutting or across the street
from residential uses and districts or within 200 feet of the Green /Duwamish
River.
The following recent requirement has raised questions about the scale and clarification of type
of modification the Planning Commission would like to review. Given the recent cumulative
changes, is this type of review actually desirable?
B. Any exterior modifications to existing commercial development in excess of 10,000
gross square feet in building floor area in

Sef,..mber 12, 1988
Subject: Tukwila Comprehensive Zoning on West side of 51st Ave. South
from South 144th to South 152nd
As noted in the Planning Dept. report, this area has been a controversy
since the beginning of the task force meetings this past summer. The debate
centered around zoning as R3 versus R4. The opposition for an R4 zoning, as shown
on the large Thorndyke annexation map, comes from non residents of that area
with the effected owners wanting R4. The present county zoning is RIG 2400
which-is closer to the Tukwila R4 code.
The Roberson and Ketchersid homes were the last homes to be built within the
subject area and that was 30 years ago. Since the freeway cut thru the area
there has been no market for single family residence. Duplexs and /or fourplexs
cannot be built because septic tanks are not feasible. A duplex market cannot
pay for the tremendous cost of water and sewer upgrading.
Recently two builders have shown interest and signed purchase agreements
based on the county.zoning of Rm 2400 and acquisition of several acres on which
to build. Both builders have signed agreements for sufficient acreage, however,
one builder has stated that he cannot build with a density of less than Rm 2400
because of the high cost of private upgrading of the sewer and water lines.
mathmatically the figures calculate to a devaluation of approximately
$20,000 per acre from an R4 zoning to an R3 zoning. In reality, it is much more
because an R3 zoning essentially kills any market as noted in the previous para—
graph. It is virtually impossible for us in this area to support a favorable
vote when it would cost us from $40,000 to $50,000 each.
Cascade zoning has been brought up several times in the task force meetings.
For this area it is a moot point because the hill area essentially isolates 51st
Avenue from the Thorndyke plateau above. The "not opened" streets of 146, 148,
and 150th are impractical to cut thru because they all exceed the maximum grade
allowance of Tukwila.
We, the undersigned, strongly urge and recommend a comprehensive zoning code
of R4 for the subject area.

Linda Baker, Puget Sound Blood Center, stated the Blood Center
would like an exception to the sign code. The new building
owners have put out their sign and many people are unable to
find the Blood Center. They have approximately 65 - 70 donors
a day and the sign is important. They are a nonprofit organiza-
tion.
Mayor Van Dusen said he would refer the problem to the Planning
staff. Senior Planner Jack Pace stated he would advise Ms. Baker
as to the procedure to follow in requesting the sign.
Ross Earnst, Public Works Director, explained the bids that were
submitted. He recommended the bid be awarded to the low bidder,
Jack McCann Company, Inc., in the amount of 5398,409.60.

Mayor Van Dusen opened the Public Hearing at 7:20 p.m., stating
the second public hearing on this subject will be heard in 30
days on October 17, 1988.
Mayor Van Dusen stated a letter dated September 12, 1988 with
seven signatures regarding the zoning on the west side of 51st
Avenue South from South 144th to South 152nd has been received.
Melvin E. Roberson, 14859 51st Avenue South, stated he was talking
about a portion of the annexation which deals with zoning on the
west side of 51st Avenue South from South 144th to South 152nd.
The debate at the task force meetings centered around zoning as
R -3 versus R -4. The opposition for the R -4 zoning cones from
non - residents of that area with the affected owners wanting R -4.
The present County zoning is RM -2400 which is closer to the
Tukwila R -4 code.
Recently two builders have shown interest and signed purchase
agreements based on the County zoning of R!'1 2400 and acquisition
of several acres on which to build. Both builders have sinned
agreements for sufficient acreage, however, one builder has
stated he cannot build with a density of less than RP-1 24(10 because
of the high cost of upgrading sewer and water lines. An P -3
zoning kills any market for the property. It would be imnossible
for the people in the area to support a favorable vote when it
would cost from S40,000 to 550,000 each. We would like the
City Council to consider this as R -4 rather than R -3. Across
the street it is compatible to R -4.
James Angle, 4831 S. 146th, stated he has lived here for 51 years.
R -4 is what the zoning designation should be. It has been
RM 2400 for a long time.
Vern Merryhew, 4431 S. 148th, was in the Task Force meetings.
It was a big concern what the impact of R -4 would have on the

neighborhood. As R -3 it will provide a buffer. In the Task
Force meetings the R -3 designation was decided upon.
Phillip R. Swanderhearst, 14809 51st S., said he attended the
Task Force meetings. They were influenced that it would be R -4.
They would lose money.
Verna Ketchused, 14637 51st Avenue South, stated she agreed
with Mr. Roberson. There should be a buffer zone. When the
Council seesthe property the back is steep.
Joan Merryhew, 4431 S. 148th, stated this area was discussed
extensively. The investers do not live in the community and do
not care about the zoning, except to make money. It would be
detrimental to have a business come in and rape the land. R -3
is the zoning she would like.
Councilmember Harris stated this area is almost 10 acres. She
asked if the owners would collectively build or build on an
individual basis.
Mel Roberson, 14859 51st Avenue South, stated none of the
owners plan to do their own building. Builders would come in
and develop the land. They would sell their property to a
developer to come in and build.
Don Pitts, developer, stated he is associated with a developer
for investment and it has been assumed this property will be
R -4. The new buildings would upgrade the area because there
would be improvements to the streets and sidewalks.
Donna Swanberg, 14809 51st So., stated she would like the
zoning to be R -4.
Councilmember Moriwaki asked if these citizens were members of
the Task Force and if they made their desires known at that time.
Melvin E. Roberson, 14859 51st Avenue S., said he thought density
was being talked about in the Task Force meetings. He did not
know they were talking about R -4. He did not know it was
3000 sq. ft. density. They have never been talking about
high desnity apartments. The buffer is not an issue. The lay
of the land becomes a buffer.
James Angle, 4831 S. 146th, said there is a noise problem. If
apartments are developed provision is made to abate the noise.
Moira Bradshaw, Associate Planner, stated the Thorndyke Task
Force and the Planning Department recommendations were alike.
King County designation was medium density. The Planning
Commission has recommended medium density. The City zoning
is different than the County. Our R -3 allows 14.5 units per
acre. The County allows 18 per acre. R -4 allows 24. The
Planning Commission and Task Force recommendations are the same.
MAYOR VAN DUSEN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:56 P.M., STATING
THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING WOULD BE HELD ON OCTOBER 17, 1°88.
Larry Hard, City Attorney, asked if the purchase of property
could be considered next on the agenda. Purchased property is
next to the Foster Golf Course and deals with environment.
An old tank has been dug UD and there is still some contaminated
soil from gas and oil. The cost to clean the soil was estimated
at S8,000. The amount of $7,800 has been spent and there is need
of more. Mr. Hard recommended that the City continue with the
purchase. Some of the soil will have to be removed. The
additional cost will be $15,000 to $20,000. This will make clean
soil without health hazards.

Foster annexation
(1st Public Hearing)
Councilmember Hernandez asked if the City could negotiate with the
seller if the cost exceeds $20,000 so the seller would be paying
some of the cost.
Larry Hard, City Attorney, stated it would probably be up to
the City to pay the cost. There is a possibility that the
the contaminated soil could be spread out over the entire site.
Councilmember Robertson said he would prefer to clean the soil
and not spread it over the entire site.
MAYOR VAN DUSEN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:12 P.M.
Jack Pace, Senior Planner, explained the history of the Foster
annexation.
Mayor Van Dusen entered as an Exhibit a letter dated September 10,
1988 regarding Foster Annexation, Issue Area #1 with five pages
of signatures from the area; letters dated September 10 and 11,
1988 from Ronald and Nancy Lamb; letter from Eva Painter and
letters in the agenda packet.
Peter Thomson, 13450 tlst South, stated he supported the
annexation with cascading effect and restrictions on the
cascading. He would like to keep the P -0 designation, that
would be economical use of the property.
Councilmember Bauch pointed out that the City Council has not
approved P -0 without restriction.
Councilmember Moriwaki asked Mr. Thomson if he was a resident
of the area. He stated he has been but is not at present time.
Terri Craig, 5306 S. 137th, stated the area is unique and
surrounded by Tukwila. The area lends itself to apartment living.
She pointed to a map of the area that she provided. The apart-
ments have been using the area as a thoroughfare. The County
came in and improved the road with 18' of asphalt but it has not
helped. Many children cannot walk to the bottom of the hill. It
has been suggested to be R -3. RMH is across the street. The
traffic is terrific. She stated she had been at the Task Force
meetings. At present we would be unable to sell our single
family homes due to traffic noise. There is no future for home
owners on the street; it is no longer a single family neighborhood.
What is needed is P -0 non - restrictive cascading zoning.
Norris Saari, 13535 53rd Ave. So., stated it seems the property
is more suitable for high density. Tukwila is annexing more
property; Tukwila is growing because more people are coming in.
He would propose it should be given high density rating.
Joan Merryhew, 4431 S. 148th, stated she was speaking for a
friend who would like the area to remain single family. The
friend is Elanor Whitmore.
Ron Lamb, 4251 S. 139th, stated he was a member of the Task Force
and the Planning Commission came up with a recommendation not in
line with the Task Force. Their concerns are the same as in the
area to the south. Macadam Road is narrow and twisting; traffic
is busy and no sidewalks. He suggested this be changed to the
P -0 zoning.
David Craig, 5306 S. 137th, stated the area is impacted by
apartments.
Karen Layton, 14115 43rd So., stated there are concerns about the
traffic, by zoning higher traffic will be added. Putting in a
light will not help. The zoning should be lower.
Dennis Westphall, 2261 NE 68th, stated he owns property at 53rd
and 137th. He moved because of the traffic and noise. He
was in favor of P -0 zoning with cascading.

Ray Vomenici, 4822 S. 135th, stated he was not at the Task Force

like this to be an improved area for the community.
Larry Howe, 13568 139th P1. SE, stated he was not included in the
Task Force meetings. In Area 2 his property is located. It is
zoned R -1 and recommended R -3. It is not R -1 by the County
zoning. He would like to see the area between 136th to 144th
be C -M. In the agenda packet there is a letter signed by the
residents and they are all in agreement. One would like it to
remain R -1; it is RM 1800 according to the County.
Mildred Saari, 13535 53rd Ave. S., stated they do not have a
community any more. The noise is terrible, from traffic, voices
and planes. They have found they cannot sell their property
for these reasons. They would like to stay in the community.
Diane Deano, 4622 S. 138th, stated she is in the part zoned C -M.
None of the residents were on the Task Force. There are 9 people
who are land owners; 6 are in favor of the zoning and 1 would
not comment. The noise is terrifc. They would like to move.
Councilmember Moriwaki said they moved there in 1977, how was
the noise then?
Ms. Deano said she did not notice the noise at that time. She
has not attempted to sell her home.
Pam Carter, 4115 S. 139th, stated she was on the Task Force.
R -4 zoning was discussed; the office designation is different.
She would support the change to allow P -0 to R -3 and below.
She said she did not believe anyone developing will widen or
straighten Macadam Road. The traffic will remain.
Eva Painter, 13526 53rd, stated they have decided to sell their
property. She recommended P -0 unrestricted in order to develop
the property. She stated she would like to live in Tukwila,
but not where she is.
Diane Meyers, 13919 42nd Ave. So., stated high desnity zoning
will bring in more traffic. She stated it is not feasible for
light industrial as it will bring in more traffic.
Bob McGreger, 5351 S. 136th, stated the area is natural for
apartments.
Teri Craig, 5306 S. 137th, stated the area has been impacted by
the high density. The zoning will have to be changed to make
it right. We would like P -0. 95% of the people signing the

1. Pre - annexation zoning for the Foster area.
2. Amending Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map.
3. Amending the Tukwila Zoning Code.

maps depicting the Foster annexation area. He further reviewed
the hearing process, as well as the annexation process. .
Mr. David Whitlow, 5408 153rd Pl. S.E., Bellevue, WA, pointed out
his property as being located in Area 01. He felt his property
is not conducive to Single Family zoning and favored a PO zoning
designation. He indicated he would suffer unfair economic
impacts with a Single Family zoning designation.
Ron Lamb, 4251 5. 139th, spoke as a member of the Task Force
representing a number of citizens in the annexation area. He
read a letter submitted to the Planning Commission which outlined
a number of land use issues the Task Force attempted to resolve
in the annexation area. This letter is on file in the Planning
Department. He favored design review process for multi - family
development.
Lawrence Hopper, 5105 S. 136th, pointed out his property which is
located in Area 1. He spoke in favor of multi - family use rather
than a PO designation in order to maintain the residential
quality of the neighborhood.
APPENDIX C

August 30, 1988
Page 2
Larry Howe, 13568 - 139th S.E., Renton pointed out his property
which is located in Area 2. He favored a multi - family zoning
designation for that area and felt to zone it single- family would
be down- zoning it and would result in the property being unmar-
ketable.
Terri Craig, 5306 S. 137th, pointed out her property on the map.
She favored a PO zoning designation for this area, and if
cascading zoning is eliminated, she prefers no less than R -4.
She felt that the roads in the area cannot support multi- family.
She stated that 90% of persons polled in the area favored P0.
Regarding a single - family designation, she felt it would create
an economic hardship because there is no market for single family
in this area.
Pam Carter, 4115 S. 139th, a member of the Task Force, favored
design review for multi- family development which would protect
single family residents from impacts of this type of development.
Regarding cascade zoning, she supported making the recommended
change for cascade zoning in the PO designation. She expressed a
concern regarding impacts of increased traffic resulting from
more intensive development, which would occur on streets that are
at a maximum efficiency now.
Jeff Bowman, 18014 N.E. 125, Redmond, pointed out his property
which is located in Area 2. He favors multi- family zoning. He
felt this property is not conducive to single - family zoning and
further, it would create an economic hardship because there is no
market for single - family in that area.
Joan Meryhew, 4431 S. 148th, represented Eleanor Whitmore at
14006 McAdam. She stated that Ms. Whitmore favored preserving
her property single - family residential while she is still living,
but she would not object to some kind of business designation in
the long -range plan for this area. She expressed a concern
regarding the surface water that accumulates on her property from
nearby development.
Rayble Vomenici, 4822 S. 138th Street, he favored M -1 zoning, not
R -1, for the area between McAdam Road and I -5.
Nancy Lamb, 4251 S. 139th felt that R -4 or RMH designations would
have a negative impact to the South Central School District
providing a more transient student population. She felt that it
would also have a negative impacts on other city services and
further, it would not enhance Tukwila. She concurred with
earlier comments regarding PO with R -3 and below usage permitted.
She supported design review for multi- family development.
The public hearing was closed at 9:10 p.m.

August 30; 19B8

Joanne Poirier, 13405 42nd Avenue S. spoke in general regarding
the inadvisability of single family zoning in some areas that are
not conducive to single family living. She favored the ability
to rezone property.
Eva Painter, 13526 - 53rd S. owns property located in Area =1.
She spoke in support of PO zoning in view of the fact she feels
it is impossible to sell her property as residential.
Mr. Coplen expressed his thanks for those who testified and
explained the Planning. Commission would come to a decision at
their meeting on September 8, 1988.
A five minute recess was called and the meeting resumed at 9:25

to the Designation Comparison map of the Thorndyke area which was
entered into the record as Exhibit II and the Comparison of
Hlghline Comp. Plan with Proposed Tukwila Comp Land Use Plan
which was entered into the record as Exhibit III.
Steve Oatsmith, 7213 - 240th S.E., Woodenville, pointed out the
location of his property which is located in Area 8. He favored
retaining cascading zoning in PO if the streets are able to
handle the impacts.
Steve Lawrence, 4461 S. 144th spoke in favor of PO but not the
RMH of cascading zoning. He spoke in opposition to apartments as
it would adversely impact schools, lower the quality of neighbor-
hoods.
Ed Jackson, 4727 S. 144th, expressed his concern regarding the
traffic on 144th. He favored preserving a single family quality
of life.
Al Pachucki, 3725 S. 150th, spoke in support of low density, not

Tukwila, Washington 98168
To Whom It May Concern:
14809 51st Avenue South
Seattle, Washington 98168
September 2, 1988
We are writing to express concern over the proposed zoning requirements
in our area if we are annexed to the City of Tukwila, and the impact it
will have on us as property owners.
The current RM2400 zoning has been designated for our property for at
least 20 years. The zoning was designated as part of a long -range
comprehensive. plan influenced in part because the 51st Avenue South
corridor is bounded on the east by the 1-5 freeway and on the west by
a topographical barrier, Bremer Hill. These factors, combined with the
feeder arterial, Klickitat Drive, would indicate good planning.
The purchase of our property in 1975 was based on this zoning, as an
investment for our retirement years. We have invested a.great deal of
time and money to improve the property for resale. It is our plan to
retire in two or three years. If we are, in effect, "down - zoned" because
of larger space requirements per unit, we stand to S35,000 to 545,000,
based on recent sales on our street. This will have a substantial impact
on our relocation.
It is also a fact that ernest money agreements have been signed for all
properties on the west side of 51st Avenue South from South 151st, north
to Bonsai Northwest, with the exception of two parcels, ours and the
Ketchersids, who border us on the north. Even though it is a major
upheaval for us to sell at this time, we feel we are being forced to do so
prior to the annexation in order to protect our retirement investment. The
prospect to choosing to move or lose a substantial amount of our investment
is adding a great deal of stress to an already stressful time in our lives.
Mr. Swanberg is recuperating from a heart attack and having other health
problems of a more serious nature. Mrs. Swanberg has recently been hospital-
ized as well.
We strongly feel the input of local residents in annexation planning is largely
biased to single family because most are single family residents. Some have been
very vocal about apartments on 51st Avenue South It is our opinion they are unaware
this zoning was arrived at by good planning guidelines and has been in place for many
years
APPENDIX D
Tukwila Plannik_:,Commission
The discussion at one of the earlier planning meetings indicated that current
zoning requirements would remain 'unchanged along 51st Avenue South. Your
proposed space requirements represent a substantial change. We therefore
request zoning that will retain the present space requirements on the property
under discussion.
Thank you for listening to our concerns.
Sincerely,
Phillip H Swanberg

RE: ANNEXATION AND REZONING OF
THORNDYKE AREA
LOT 15, BLOCK 7, ADAMS HOME TRACT, LESS WEST 60'
GENTLEMEN:
FIRST, I WISH TO STATE THAT I AM IN FAVOR OF THE ANNEXATION. SECO %D,
I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF ZONING.
WE OWN A PROPERTY AT 4049 SOUTH 146TH STREET. OUR HOUSE, ALONG WI;
THE THREE HOUSES TO THE WEST AND ONE TO THE EAST, ARE THE ONLY HOUSES
IN THIS BLOCK. THEY ARE NOT ON SEWER AND SEWER IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON
PACIFIC HIGHWAY SOUTH.
THERE ARE THREE PROBLEMS:
1. WITH THE MOBILE HOME PARK AND A STORAGE LOT TO THE WEST (UPHILL)
AND THE FOUR HOUSES ON SEPTIC SYSTEMS, ALL SURFACE WATER DRAINS
ONTO OUR PROPERTY. THIS RESULTS IN THE LOT FLOODING AND CRE:.TV.G
WHAT WE BELIEVE COULD BE A HEALTH HAZARD. THE PROPERTIES nl..
NOT PERC AND ACCEPT NEW SEPTIC DRAIN FIELDS.
2. WITH THE ABOVE CONDITIONS AND THE TRANSIENT NATURE OF THE NEIG --
BORHOOD, THE HOUSES RENT FOR A FRACTION (75`:) OF COMPARABLE
PROPERTIES.
3. WHEN THE SEPTIC SYSTEMS EVENTUALLY FAIL, NO ONE WILL BE ABLE 7C
LIVE THERE. THAT LEAVES ONLY ONE SOLUTION -- FOR A DEVELOPER
TO PURCHASE ALL THE PROPERTIES AND CHANGE THE USE OF THE PROPER'
FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
THEREFORE, PLEASE CONSIDER CHANGING THE ZONING FROM R -1 TO ANY 20 ".i'.'J
THAT WILL ACCEPT MULTI - RESIDENTIAL, PUBLIC STORAGE, LIGHT INDUSTRi�_
OR SIMILAR USE, WITH DESIGN REVIEW CONTROL TO ASSURE THAT THE -TOME=
TO THE SOUTH ARE BUFFERED.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

BACKGROUND
PRE - ANNEXATION ZONING PROCESS
FINDINGS
- -88 -4 -CPA, 88 -4 -R, 88 -5 -CA
In May 1988, the City of Tukwila received a petition requesting an election for
annexation to Tukwila of the area shown on Attachment H. The petition contained
67 valid signatures. Of the 1,106 registered voters residing in the area, 346
voted in the last general election, therefore the signatures exceed the required
10 %.
The petition requesting an annexation election also requested the simultaneous
adoption of pre- annexation zoning.
The procedure for designating pre- annexation zoning has been varied. In annex-
ation areas where there has been little development change and the current
King County zoning is compatible with the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan, then the
Tukwila Comprehensive Plan is used to create the appropriate Tukwila zoning.
However, in areas where there is substantial development or County zoning
inconsistent with Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan, then a Tukwila Comprehensive
Plan update is undertaken.
Substantial change in land use and development has occurred in. the Thorndyke
area in the blocks which form its boundary and in the blocks which abut the
freeways.
CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
Since June a group of residents, property owners and business people have been
working as a Task Force on the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan for the area and pro-
posed Tukwila Zoning. The Task Force was formed by volunteers who signed up at
the first public information meeting on June 8, 1988, and from volunteers res-
ponding to a letter requesting participation; sent to all residents who signed
the petition. The proposal was then presented to the community on August 18,
1988 for comment and discussion.
The majority of the comments received were concerns by property owners about the
decrease in the number of units allowed on their parcels, particularly in Issue
Areas 5 and 8. For the Planning Commission public hearing, notices with the
proposed zoning were mailed to all property owners and public notice appeared
in the local papers. As part of the public notice, hearing dates for the City
Council hearings were also mentioned.
REPORT ORGANIZATION
This report is divided into three sections. The first section discusses general
annexation information. The second section discusses the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan Map and Tukwila pre- annexation zoning. The third section addresses the
proposed text amendments to the Tukwila Zoning Code.

ANNEXATION
As shown on Attachment B, the Thorndyke Annexation request is within the Tukwila
Planning Area. This annexation ties in with the Foster annexation to the north
and the 1985 McMicken annexation to the east.
The annexation area population is estimated at 4,604 people. Existing land use in
the area is mixed between commercial /multi - family along Pacific Highway South,
South 154th and South 158th Streets; public schools along South 144th Street;
and single - family in the central and eastern areas.
As part of the environmental review process, the City examined capital and
operation costs of the annexation to the City. Based upon that preliminary
information provided by the consultant, additional research will be done by City
staff in preparing an amended City budget. The amended budget will be approved
by the City Council this fall, to address the additional service needs if the
voters approve the annexation.
COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN MAP AMENDMENTS
AND PRE - ANNEXATION ZONING
Existing land uses and King County zoning (Attachment C) were compared with the
Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map, which was adopted in 1978 and revised
in 1982 (Attachment B). Zoning categories from Tukwila and King County were
also compared. See Table 1 below. This comparison found substantial variation
between what exists and is allowed by the County and what is planned for the
area by the City. The major change has been an increase in housing density
along collector arterials. The areas of difference are referred to as sub -areas
and grouped into issue areas identified on a vicinity map (Attachment D). Each
sub -area is discussed in detail on the following pages. In the remaining blocks
in the annexation area, where there are no conflicts in the zoning and no pro-
posed changes in the City's Comprehensive Plan, the current zoning is RS -7200
and the proposed zoning is R- 1 -7.2.

STAFF REPORT to the
Planning Commission
( "88 -4 -CPA, 88 -4 -R, 88 -5 -CA
There have recently been several new apartment or townhouse developments in the
Thorndyke area. The task force's goals were to maintain a quality, stable
single - family neighborhood, and control direct traffic impacts.
To carry out these goals, they used medium - density residential to provide
transition between high and low density residential. The desire to control the
housing density of the area has resulted in some inconsistent designations of
medium density in the overall plan. Transition is not provided, however, in all
blocks between Pacific Highway and 42nd Avenue South. The City may wish to
consider transition areas for the Comprehensive Plan (Attachment E) but retain
the proposed zoning on Attachment F.

The proposed Comprehensive Plan change from high- density residential to Commer-
cial and a C -1 zone for Sub -Area A is to accommodate the existing water district
office. Sub -Area B is surrounded by high- density uses, therefore it is appro-
priate to include it in the proposed RMH district. The proposal for Sub -Area C
is a compromise between its current zoning, existing land use and Tukwila Comp
Plan designation.
The Comp Plan policy (p. 47) which states, "Provide medium - density 'transition
areas' between high- and low - density residential areas" supports the proposed
medium - density Comp Plan designation and rezone. The zoning to the north of
South 144th Street is medium density as well. The Task Force reviewed and
concurs with the recommendation.

Land in Sub -Areas A and B is not yet developed at high densities, as currently
planned by their Comp Plan designations and zoning. A less dense transition
between the existing commercial businesses west of the lots and the low- density

w ■•■ In J .
Based on policies of the Tukwila Comp Plan, it is appropriate to designate
the sub -area for medium - density to provide transition between the existing
low- density land use to the east and the high- density residential to the west.
The Task Force reviewed and recommended R -2 for Sub -Area B and high- density RMH
for Sub -Area A. After further review of the sub - areas, staff recommends a
medium density /R -3 for both sub -areas since Sub -Area A needs R -3 to be a
conforming use.

DISCUSSION
Sub -Area A was the most difficult in this issue area to treat because of the
wide mix of uses. A medium density designation, although low for the existing
apartment's actual density at approximately 4200 - 154th Street, is more
appropriate for the entire area due to the small size of the parcels and the
sensitive area - a deep wide ravine - in the easternmost portion of the
sub -area.
For Sub -Area B, the proposed high density merely reflects the existing land
uses. Sub -Area C is a small pocket of single - family homes. The lots to the
north and east of C have access from 51st Avenue South and are proposed for
medium - density residential; therefore, medium is also proposed for Sub -Area C.
The Task Force reviewed and concurs with the recommendation; however, staff is
proposing R -3 zoning of Sub -Area C to reflect the surrounding zoning, instead of
R -2. (Either are appropriate zones for a medium- density designation.)

THORNDYKE ISSUE AREA 8
DISCUSSION
Issue Area 8 was the most difficult
area for the task force to review for
appropriate land use. The following
factors were discussed:
1. The road, 51st Avenue South, is a
collector arterial and has direct
access to SR -518 and I -5. It is
substandard for a majority of its
length. If a higher intensity of
use were to occur, right -of -way
dedication and improvement would
be needed. Traffic counts for 51st
equaled other busy collectors like
Southcenter Boulevard between 62nd
and 65th Avenue South.
2. The area is visible from I -5.and
vice versa. There is no substan-
tial grade change between the
freeway for Sub -Area C.
3. The noise level negatively impacts
the properties and more so for
Area B than C because it is
upslope from the freeway.
4. There are environmentally sig-
nificant grades and streams in a
majority of Sub -Area B.
5. The parcels are relatively large
and have not been subdivided.
6. Sewer lines are non - existent and
would have to be extended down
from South 144th Street or up from
52nd Avenue. The water line is
substandard and would also have to
be improved if the area were to be
developed for denser uses.
The Task Force reviewed 11 alterna-
tives from low density to commercial.
A quality single - family neighborhood
did not seem viable due to the prox-
imity, views and noise of and from
the freeway. Office, which is
aesthetically more acceptable to
residents than commercial due to
building design and site development,
is a good transition from the freeway.
The medium density on the east could
be more sensitive to site limitations
of steepness and surface water and
more marketable than single- family
because of accessibility and location
near jobs and shopping.
Bonsai Northwest and a cellular tele-
phone business are located in Sub -Area
A. C -1 zone would be comparable with
the existing BN zone and would accom-
modate the existing uses.
Although no consensus was achieved,
the majority opinion in the Task Force
felt the recommendation was the most
appropriate.

ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS
This section will review the proposed text amendments to the Zoning Code in
conjunction with pre- annexation zoning discussed in the preceding section.
There are two proposed amendments: Height Exception and the Professional Office
Zone. The proposed amendments would become effective upon annexation of this
area to Tukwila. The single - family setback standards were also a concern for
the task force. At this time there are no proposed amendments to the setback
standards.
HEIGHT EXCEPTION
Existing Tukwila
The Tukwila Zoning Code, page 290, maps areas of the City where buildings
may exceed the height limits of the underlying zones.
Proposed
Amend map 2 "Building Height Exception Area (p. 290) to show area adjacent
to SR -99 and SR -518 interchange as "Up to and including 115 feet ". See
Attachment G.
Amend (shown in bold print) TMC 18.50.040 - Building Height Exceptions up to
and Including 115 Feet:
Section 18.50.040 Building Height Exceptions up to and
Including 115 Feet
Authorization of building height greater than the heights contained
in Section 18.50.020 (Table 1) up to and including 115 feet in the
areas of the City as designated on Map 2 shall be made by the Plan-
ning Commission acting as the Board of Architectural Review pursuant
to the guidelines and procedures specified in Chapter 18.60.
Discussion
The height limits in King County for regional retail districts allow unlim-
ited heights subject to one -foot setbacks for one foot increases in height
over 45 feet. In Tukwila, 35 feet is the height limit in regional retail
districts. The C -2 district at the SR -99 and SR -518 intersection is sur-
rounded by high- density residential and commercial uses. (The height limit
in RMH - Maximum Density Multiple Family districts is 45 feet.) Therefore,
a maximum height of 115 feet subject to design review would be appropriate
and consistent with the location other height exception areas in the City.
PROFESSIONAL OFFICE ZONE
Existing Tukwila
The Tukwila Zoning Code is descriptively referred to as a cascading zoning
code. As the code progresses from the single - family zones to the heavy
industry zone, it allows the uses permitted in the more restrictive zones
preceding. Specifically, the P -0 zone allows single, two, three and four
family dwellings, apartments, townhouses, nursing homes, libraries, offices,
and educational schools and studios.
Proposed
Amend. the Zoning Code (TMC 18) by renumbering Chapter 18.26 P -0 District
Professional and Office District to Chapter 18.17.

Planning Commission
Amend (shown in bold print) TMC 18.26.020 Principally Permitted Uses -
(1) Any principally permitted use in the R -3 district;
Discussion
The task force felt that the distinction between a professional office and
apartment /high- density residential zone was important in the land use deci-
sion, and recommend no residential uses. In two previous quasi - judicial
decisions, the City has permitted rezones from single - family to P -0 subject
to "conditions" of no high /maximum density (RMH) residential in the first
instance and no multiple dwellings whatsoever in the second instance.
The proposed change has City -wide implications. The P -0 districts currently
within Tukwila are located along Southcenter Boulevard and South 178th
Street. Many parcels within these districts have had office proposals made
and approved by the City, only to not be developed. The impact of the
proposal is to eliminate the opportunity for high density residential in
these areas.
One of the purposes of the P -0 district is to serve as a buffer between
residential districts and commercial and /or industrial areas. Recent
legislative actions and discussions have focused on the concern about the
high percentage of multiple family in the City and the opportunity for
increasing this percentage through increasing P -0 districts. A comparison
of bulk and size between the P -0, RMH, R -4 and R -3 reveals that R -4 and P -0
have the same height limit of 35 feet versus 45 and 30 for RMH and and R -3
respectively and that R -4 /RMH and P -0 are likely to be similar size and type
developments. In order to fulfill its purpose as transition yet also
control opportunities for housing density staff proposes allowing up to R -3
uses in the P -0 zone.
SINGLE FAMILY SETBACK STANDARDS
A concern was raised during task force meetings regarding placement of
buildings on a single - family lot.
KING COUNTY TUKWILA
Maximum lot width 60' 50'
Front yard 20'* 30'
Side yard 5 4' -8' (10% of width)
Rear yard None 10'
Maximum lot coverage 35% None
* In addition, the County allows projections of one and a half feet
of eaves, fireplaces, bay windows and enclosed stair landings in a
required yard.
The Tukwila Code places greater restriction on the front, rear and side
yards; however, it is more flexible regarding the total use of the lot.
A section of the Tukwila Zoning Code (TMC 18.50.070(3)) does allow the
Planning Department to waive the front yard requirement and substitute a
required yard that is the average of the front yards on adjacent lots.
This provision would allow any homeowner who wishes to remodel an oppor-
tunity to extend an addition in the front yard to something less than the
required 30 feet. Side and rear yard waivers are not however mentioned. It
also would provide consistency in the building fronts along a street that
was developed under different standards.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the text amendments for Height Exception Area
and Professional Office be approved. Based on public testimony regarding
single - family setbacks, the Planning Commission may wish to recommend to the
City Council direction for further review and /or change.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND
DECISION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
RE: MARTIN COMPREHENSIVE MAP AMENDMENT & REZONE
CITY FILE NOS. 86 -19 -CPA AND 86 -20 -R
VICINITY /SITE INFORMATION /BACKGROUND
Exhibit A
1. Project Description. The applicants, Mr. and Mrs. Roy
Martin, are the owners of property located at 5665 South
178th Street. The applicants originally applied for:
a. An amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map
from a designation of Low Density Residential to
Office, and
b. A change in the Tukwila Zoning Code Map from a
designation of R -A (Agricultural) to PO (Professional
and Office).
2. Existing Development. The subject property encompasses 1.62
acres and is currently developed with a single - family
residence. The site has been generally graded into three
terraces with 6 -8 foot berms. Grading was done several
years ago as evidenced by 5" diameter alder trees on the
lowest terrace (toward 57th Avenue South). Approximately
the eastern third of the site is overgrown with blackberry
bushes and alder trees. Site development is shown in
Attachment C.
3. Surrounding Land Use: The nearby land use pattern is shown
in Attachment D. In general, rural and low density uses are
to the south and west while retail and commercial uses are
located to the north and east.
4. Terrain. The subject property is located on the western toe
of the Green River Valley wall as shown in Attachment E.
The site itself has been graded into three general terraces
which are separated by five to seven -foot banks.
5. Vegetation: There are no known rare or endangered species
on the site.
6. Access: South 178th Street and 57th Avenue South run along
the site's northern and southern boundary respectively. The
South 188th Street Connector, a four -lane arterial, is early
in the planning stage. One of the alternative routes would
run along the site's western boundary.
Findings and Conclusions of City Council -1-
Re: Martin Rezone
JEH00271A
The applicant proposes to access the site only from 57th
Avenue South. The Public Works Department supports this
condition. Site development potential with a rezone from
single - family to office uses would significantly increase
potential traffic generation in this intersection area.
Potential traffic generation could use up significant
roadway capacity with the location of an access point within
175 feet of the 178th /57th intersection as well as limit the
length of a left turn lane. The planning department and the
applicants are in agreement as to access restrictions and
right of way dedications which would support the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and rezone. These provisions
are contained in a letter from Roger Blaylock to Vernon
Umetsu dated June 22, 1987 and are proposed as conditions of
the rezone. Additional project specific impact analysis and
mitigation shall be addressed when a building permit
application is received.
7. Utilities. The site is adequately served with water by King
County Water District No. 75; however, the site is not
directly served by sewer or storm drainage facilities. A
12 -inch sewer main is located directly across 57th Avenue
from the site. The main may require upgrading pursuant to
the Tukwila Comprehensive Sewer Plan to meet cumulative area
demands. There is an 18 -inch storm drainage stub at the
northeast corner of the property and a 12 -inch main along
the north property line. The ability of these lines to meet
expected area -wide demands has not been established at this
time. Adequacy of all systems will be verified when a
specific development application is reviewed. The City's
South 57th Avenue road improvement project will extend
utilities to the south, past the property in approximately
1988/89.
8. Comprehensive Plan Designation. An evaluation of the
Comprehensive Plan indicated that the property was
designated Low Density Residential due to its location on
the west valley wall and steep topography.
9. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 25,
1987 on the applicant's request. After the hearing, the
Planning Commission recommended approval of the request as
proposed.
10. The City Council held a public hearing on August 3, 1987.
During the hearing, the applicants proposed to amend their
proposal to restrict residential development on the site to
single - family residential use, i.e., not to allow any multi-
family (R -2 and greater density) development.
11. The planning staff recommended to the City Council that the
amended proposal be approved.

Re: Martin Rezone
JEH00271A
FINDINGS ON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CRITERIA
A Comprehensive Plan Amendment is justified if one of the three
criteria below is met. Generally, the more significant the
change, the greater will be the burden of showing that the change
is justified and in conformance with the overall Comprehensive
Plan.
1. There is an error in the factual basis of the plan.
There is no known error in the factual basis of
Comprehensive Plan as of this date. The applicant does
allege any error.
2. There is an unforeseen change in circumstances from
point at which the plan was adopted.
Several changes in City transportation policies after
1977 adoption of the Comprehensive Plan directly affect
project site:
1 .
the
not
the
the
the
The (four -lane) 188th Connector was incorporated into
the Transportation Improvement Plan for construction in
1990. Preliminary engineering was completed in 1985,
and 20,000 to 30,000 vehicles are projected to use this
arterial daily. The most probable alignment runs
through a small portion of the west property boundary
and along the north property line.
2. The City's current functional classification road map
has upgraded 57th Avenue South and South 178th Street
from the collector arterials shown in the Comprehensive
Plan, to the equivalent of a secondary arterial. the
Comprehensive Transportation Improvement Plan envisions
improving 57th Avenue South to a minimum four -lane
secondary arterial in 1990.
3. South 178th Street has been upgraded from a collector
arterial to the equivalent of a secondary arterial in
the Circulation Plan and has been improved to a 4 - 5
land roadway along the northern property boundary.
The redesignation of 57th Avenue South and South 178th
Street from collector arterials to secondary arterials,
along with the 188th Connector, would together constitute a
significant change in circumstances. Implementation of the
above improvements could result in bordering the subject
property on three sides with four -lane arterials.
3. There is some unforeseen and demonstrated public need.
There is a public need to ensure that Comprehensive Plan map
designations reflect public policy. There is a clear
Findings and Conclusions of City Council -3-
Re: Martin Rezone
JEH00271A
inconsistency between the site's map designation and the
Comprehensive Plan policies calling for protection of
residential neighborhoods from incompatible land uses
(Neighborhood Objective No. 1) and using office areas to
separate residential 'areas from other land uses
(Commerce /Industry Policy No. 4.1).
The Comprehensive Plan policies which are directly
applicable to this situation are shown below along with a
discussion of site conditions.
Natural Environment Policy 3.1: Discourage development on
slopes in excess of 20 percent.
The site has been graded into three general terraces
(see Terrain). The eastern half of the site may be
viewed as having a general slope of 18 to 22 percent.
The northern half of the property has an average slope
of 10 percent.
Natural Environment Objective 8: Recognize the
environmental basemap of the Tukwila Planning Area which'
depicts the distribution and extent of natural amenities
based on the previously mentioned objectives and use this
map as a general planning guide.
The site is designated as having Special Development
Considerations due to steep slopes and /or water.
Slopes are as described above. The general hillside
area is known to have springs.
Neighborhood Policy 1.1: Use natural features, like
topography, to separate incompatible land uses from the
residential areas.
The project site rests on the bench of an eastward
extending toe of McMicken Heights. A 40 -foot grade
change separates the (western) development area from
Southcenter Parkway. A seven -foot terrace separates
the development area from a residence to the west.
Commerce /Industry Policy 4.1: Encourage the use of
commercial office development as buffers between residential
land uses and other land uses.
Designation of this transitional area (see Conclusion
No. 4.c.) as Office would buffer upslope single - family
residential areas from commercial and industrial
activities to the east.
Commerce /Industry Policy 4.3: Encourage the location of
commercial offices in areas of high natural amenities.
The subject site has cross - valley views to the east.

2. Dedication. The Owners hereby dedicate, grant, convey and
warrant to the City of Tukwila approximately seven (7) feet
of property along 57th Avenue South which is legally
described on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference. Said property is dedicated and
conveyed for street purposes.
3. Access to 57th Avenue South.
A. Access to Owners' property described on Exhibit A will
be restricted solely to 57th Avenue South, unless at the
time of development of the subject site or construction of
the proposed South 188th Street connector, the City of
Tukwila determines that some form of limited access to the
proposed connector is acceptable. The burden of proof to
assure that a safe access can be accomplished will rest
with the Owners or applicant for development permit as
part of a future traffic analysis. The pending design and
reconstruction of 57th Avenue South by the city will
include a curb cut for the Owners' future access.
B. Only one access point will be provided onto 57th
Avenue South from the property described on Exhibit A
unless the City determines that a secondary emergency
access is required on any of the adjacent streets as a
condition of development approval.
C. The access point will be at the far south end of the
property and not less than 175 feet from the existing
(January, 1987) south edge of the pavement at the
intersection of South 180th Street and Southcenter Parkway
(57th Avenue South). If this location creates a sight
distance problem from the south at the bridge, the
property owner or developer is not responsible for
upgrading the bridge, but the city may, in its discretion,
require the access point to be located at a distance which
is safe.
4.Further Traffic Analysis. At the time of the filing of
an application development of the property described on
Exhibit A, the Owners shall, at the Owners' sole cost and
expense, provide a traffic analysis of a scope to be
determined by the City in order to determine whether further
mitigating measures with respect to traffic may be required
as part of the development proposal. However, because of the
specific restriction by the City to limit access to the
subject site to 57th Avenue South, improvements to the bridge
lying south of the subject site on 57th Avenue South will not
be included as a mitigating measure unless the traffic study
or other analysis by the City clearly shows that any
improvements are necessary to mitigate a significant,
adverse, environmental impact attributable to the
development. In such case, the Owners or developer will be

Findings and Conclusions of City Council -7-
Re: Martin Rezone
JEH00271A
1. The proposed Zoning Amendment from R -A to P -O will comply
with the Comprehensive Plan as discussed in the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment section of those Findings and
Conclusions
2. The applicant has provided enough information concerning
site development to show that the site can be developed to
P -0 levels of intensity.
3. The proposed zone change is in response to development that
has occurred to the south and west of the site. What was
once a quiet agricultural and residential area has now
become an area with large numbers of commercial and
industrial uses. These changes justify rezoning the
property to P -O.
DECISION
The City Council approves the Comprehensive Plan amendment and
rezone applications as modified with the following conditions:
1. All rezone conditions relating to restriction on use and
access proposed by the applicants at the hearing and in the
letter from Roger Blaylock to'Vernon Umetsu dated June 22,
1987 shall be included in a Concomitant Zoning Agreement and
recorded with the King County Recorder at the time of
rezone.
can be responsibly developed, the actual mitigating measures
to be required, and assurance of project compatibility with
surrounding areas will be addressed at the building permit
phase when an actual project is proposed.
3. When the request is not in agreement with the Comprehensive
Land Use Policy Plan, the applicant shall provide evidence
to the City Council's satisfaction that there is an
additional need for the requested land classification.
The applicant has presented a policy evaluation regarding
the appropriateness of P -O zoning at the site (Attachment
F).
The Council concurs that changed circumstances (new and
increased road development), and an analysis of applicable
policies would justify rezoning the property from R -A to P-
0 .
4. The relationship of the proposed zoning change to the
existing land uses and zoning of surrounding or nearby
property:
The proposed rezone would provide a strong rationale for
rezoning the property to the south from R -A to some higher
use classification. This is the subject of a sub -area
Comprehensive Plan update to be completed by the Planning
Department in 1987. No other potential, significant land
use compatibility conflicts are anticipated. The exclusion
of multi - family by the proposed agreement removes the
incompatibility of multi - family development with surrounding
uses.
5. What changes have occurred in the character, conditions or
surrounding neighborhood that would justify or otherwise
substantiate the rezone.
The rezone from R -A to P-0 is justified by the changes in
traffic circulation set forth under Comprehensive Plan
Amendment Criteria 2 above.
6. The relative gain to the public as compared with the
hardship imposed upon the individual owner
Approval of the rezone would result in substantial gain to
the property owner, and the City would become subject to
higher land acquisition costs for the 188th Connector which
could cover a portion of the site.
ZONING AMENDMENT CONCLUSIONS
Based upon the Findings above, the Council Concludes the
following:
Findings and Conclusions of City Council -6-
Re: Martin Rezone
JEH00271A
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CONCLUSIONS
The applicant has demonstrated sufficient justification for
reviewing the appropriateness of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Map at this site. The applicant's analysis in Attachment F
supports an Office designation for the parcel. The Council
generally concurs with the analysis and specifically concludes
that:
1. Existing land uses and roads, as well as planned public
improvements seriously degrade the viability of the subject
site for solely single- family residential use.
2. This is the only site in the City which is comprehensive
planned for single - family residential uses and is surrounded
on three sides by areas planned for Office, Light
Industrial, and Heavy Industrial uses, and bordered on the
fourth side by a four -lane arterial.
3. The site should be viewed as a transitional area between
commercial /industrial activities to the north and east, and
residential areas to the west.
ZONING AMENDMENT CRITERIA
The City must consider the following criteria (in bold type) in
its evaluation of rezone requests.
1. The use or change in zoning requested shall be in conformity
with the adopted Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, the
provisions of this title, and the public interest.
The proposed zoning change as modified to exclude multi-
family uses, will be in conformity with this criteria if the
proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map is
approved.
2. The use or change in zoning requested in the zoning map or
this title for the establishment of commercial, industrial,
or residential use shall be supported by an architectural
site plan showing the proposed development and its
relationship to surrounding areas as set forth in the
application form.
General areas have been shown as being appropriate for P -O
uses. These development areas conform to building setback
requirements and generally demonstrate site developability
if sufficient mitigation is provided.
The Council concludes that the site can be developed to some
level of P -O use intensity. The actual level of use which
