King County has requested that the 16th Avenue bridge and surrounding residen- tial area be included in the Fire District No. 1 annexation proposal to Tukwila. The meeting is a continuation of the June 16 meeting. At the first hearing, the City of Tukwila presented the King County Boundary Review Board with its intention to annex Fire District No. 1, positively responding to the petition requesting annexation as proposed by the petitioners. King County Public Works requested that the Boundary Review Board add additional area to the annexation proposal, primarily to include the 16th Avenue Bridge. The bridge would be an expensive addition to service and capital costs for Tukwila; annual costs for maintenance and operation are approximately $250,000. In addition, repair and/or replacement of the bridge is urgently needed, a capital cost which has been estimated at $30 million. The City of Tukwila feels this particular bridge is a regional facility, and that the costs of the bridge should be shared by all users, including King County and Seattle. The Tukwila City Council passed Resolution 1078 stating its agreement to participate with other agencies for its fair share of the costs. Tukwila requested the King County Council to adopt a similar commitment. Tukwila City Council President Mae Harris and Mayor Gary Van Dusen have had on -going discussions with elected King County officials and further meetings will hope- fully produce an agreement that can be presented to the Boundary Review Board at the meeting on August 9. It is important for everyone affected by the proposed Fire District No. 1 annexation to Tukwila, to understand that, if the bridge is included without cost sharing, the annexation is in jeopardy. Without regional sharing of costs, Tukwila cannot afford the bridge and would probably not accept the annexation. This is to inform you and to give notice of the meeting on August 9, where the fate of this important annexation may be determined. The Mayor of Tukwila may also request from the BRB, if approved by the City Council, a delay in the pro- ceedings to allow Seattle, Tukwila, King County and other agencies to negotiate and work out an appropriate cost - sharing resolution. This action would postpone the November election into 1989. Please plan to attend. For further information or answers to any questions, please contact Mayor Van Dusen at 433 -1805, or the Tukwila Planning Department at 433 -1849. :"' (26 /FD1.BRBNTC) v rMnAh4'1�.))'c1at 'An • 1909 City of Tukwila PLANNING DEPARTMENT 6200 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila.

Joe Westover, Spider's Vice President of Manufacturing, and I attended the Boundary Review Board hearing on the proposed Fire District 111 annexation Houston last Thursday, June 16, 1988. One of the items mentioned at the hearing seems to me, on reflection, to be worth inquiring about: it was mentioned in passing that your proposed zoning for our area (immediately East of the Los Angeles Burlington Northern railroad right -of -way, on Beacon Coal Mine Road South) has now changed from M -2 to "light industrial ", presumably M -1, and we of course find this to be of interest if it is indeed true. As I believe you're aware, Spider manufactures powered scaffolding equipment (see enclosed advertising brochure) out of aluminum and various cast and manufactured products. Since I have no idea how you define your New York M -1 and M -2 zones, I would appreciate your advising us on whether we are a permitted use in the zone that you plan for us, and if not, what effect that classification might have on an increase in the size of our plant; I would also appreciate copies of the rel eX'ant portions of your zoning Orlando ordinance that define these uses. I'm uncomfortable with the idea of becoming a "pre- existing use ", since my management may well want to expand our operations on this site.

Deny. Deny. PRELIMINARY REPORT: The Building and Land Development Preliminary Report on Item No. 250 -80 -R was received by the Deputy Examiner on July 14, 1980. l `31 CITY ()1- i .�:.. IL..\ After reviewing the Building and Land Develop- ment Report, examining available information on file with the application and visiting the property and surrounding area, the Deputy Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: The hearing on Item No. 250 -80 -R was opened by the Deputy Examiner at 10:40 A.M., July 24, 1980, in Room No. 215, King County Administration Building, Fourth Avenue and James Street, Seattle, Washington, and closed at 12:35 P.M. A verbatim recording of the hearing is available in the office of the Zoning and Subdivision Examiner. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Deputy Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. General Information: Location: Existing Zone: Requested Zone: STR: Size: Water District: Sewer District: Fire District: School District: MASTER COP Lying on the west side of 44th P1.S., 270' north of S. 122nd St. S -R (Suburban Residential) M -P (Manufacturing Park) E 10 -23 -4 0.21 acres (9240 square feet) #25 None #1 South Central #406 it 250 -80 -R page 2 2. Approval of this application will constitute a "major action" under the provisions of R.C.W. 43.21C and W.A.C. 197 -10. The applicant submitted an environmental check- list with the application. After reviewing the environ- mental checklist, the Manager of the Building and Land Development Division made a threshold determination that approval of this application will not have a significant adverse impact upon the quality of the environment and that an environmental impact statement is not required. The Building and Land Development Division transmitted a proposed declaration of non - significance to other agencies with jurisdiction on June 10, 1980. After the elapse of fifteen days following the transmittal and after reviewing comments submitted by agencies with jurisdiction and by other parties, the Manager of the Building and Land Devel- opment Division adopted the proposed declaration as a final declaration of non - significance. At the public hearing on this application a representative of the Building and Land Development Division reported that having considered the comments and testimony by agencies with jurisdiction and by other parties, having visited the subject property, and having evaluated the natural, physical and social systems related to this application, the Building and Land Development Division reaffirms its determination that approval of this application will not have a significant adverse impact on the quality of the environment and an environmental impact statement is not required. 3. The purpose of this application is to expand the present industrial site to allow additional employee parking. 4. The existing tank manufacturing plant was authorized by a reclassification about 20 years ago. Other properties in the immediate area are clumped and developed as single - family residential. Beyond the immediate area are railroad yards and heavy industrial zoning to the east. The community, known as Allentown, is surrounded by developing industrial properties. 5. The Environmental Assessment included in the Building and Land Development Division Report for the July 24, 1980 hearing is adopted into this report by reference. 6. The application was supported by one property owner who corresponded prior to the hearing. Adjacent property owners who attended the public hearing stated their objections, which related primarily to what is perceived as an expansion of the operation of the plant but is also related to the impact of additional parking on adjacent residents and the need for greater visual and noise buffers. 7. The Building and Land Development Division changed its recommendation from "continue" to "deny" as a result of information brought out at the hearing. It was determined by the Building and Land Development Division that based on the number of employees now working at the site, the parking within the existing M -P zone meets the code requirements. 250 -80 -R page 3 CONCLUSIONS: 1. Based upon the whole record, and according substantial weight to the determination of environmental significance made by the Division of Building and Land Development, it is concluded that approval of the subject action would not significantly affect the quality of the environment. All evidence of environmental impact relating to the proposed action and reasonable alternatives to the proposed action have been included in the review and consideration of the subject action. 2. Allowing the expansion of narking onto the subject property would create a situation adverse to adjacent property owners - making it more difficult to rent or sell their homes and imposing an unreasonable impact on these properties as home sites. 3. The existing site provides adequate space for parking, based on the current level of operation. An expansion of the operation would be unreasonably detrimental to other properties. RECOMMENDATION: Deny. ORDERED THIS 30th day of July, 1980. Robert A.

BAUCH, MARILYN G. STOKNES, JOAN HERNANDEZ, CLARENCE B. MORIWAKI. Rick Beeler (Planning Director), Larry Hard (City Attorney), Ross Earnst (City Engineer). Michelle Nangle, 14140 56th South, Tukwila, presented the Black River Quarry Coalition's platform and urged all citizens to join the Coalition in order to support our quality of life. It is a nonprofit corporation formed to oppose the siting of a King County garbage incinerator at the Black River Quarry. The Coalition offers alternatives to incineration in a combination of waste reduction, recycling, composting and material recovery strategies. Ms. Nangle circulated the Coalition's platform. membership enrollment form and sign -up sheet. MOVED BY DUFFIE, SECONDED BY MORIWAKI, TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR A PERIOD NOT TO EXCEED TWENTY MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED. The Committee of the Whole Meeting was called back to order by Council President Harris, with Councilmembers present as previously listed. Rick Beeler, Planning Director, explained the area concerned and the information in the agenda packet. Mr. Beeler explained the residents along the freight lines where it is zoned R -1 were not interested in a land use change at this time. The Map 4 recommendation by staff was for comparable zoning from King County. The batching plant proposal would go in there. The City zone of C -M would be the closest to Renton's for a business park. The quarry plant would be a non - conforming conditional use. The next closest would be C -2 which is for retail. Council President Harris said we have pledged with Renton that we would discuss compatible uses of neighboring areas. Councilmember Duffie said the people in Fire District #1 have faith in Tukwila that we will zone in a manner that will be beneficial to them. Councilmember Moriwaki stated he also cannot agree to an interlocal agreement at this time with Renton. Council President Harris said we should provide zoning and use areas that would blend in with surrounding area. Councilmember Bauch suggested the Council go along with the staff recommendation of C -M. Larry Hard, City Attorney, stated the zoning of C -M would be better than M -2. Council President Harris stated the consensus of the Council is then that it should be C -M. Rick Beeler, Planning Director, stated if zoned C -M that would make the operation of the Black River Quarry non - conforming and Stoneway would have to come back for a non - conforming permit. MOVED BY BAUCH, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT STAFF BRING TO THE COUNCIL A PROPOSAL ZONING THE AREA DISCUSSED C -M TO OAKSDALE. * Larry Hard, City Attorney, stated there is professional office zoning as an alternative.

REPORTS Council President Community Affairs Finance & Safety Utilities objected to the zoning. The dwellings are deteriorating. It is an isolated area. No one objected to bringing in warehouse. No one wants to live in there. Rick Beeler, Planning Director, stated on Exhibit D in the upper corner that would come in as professional office. The zoning of M -2L would permit trucking and related. It would allow for 5' of landscaping rather than 15' of landscaping. This is a unique industrial area developed some time ago. John Miller, representing Rainier Bank, said they would like to have the option of being able to build to 115'. There are not special plans for increasing the height but they would like to have that option. With the 65' height allowance we could come in and ask for a height variance. On the east side of the building the annexation line is through the building itself. Council President Harris stated at the Regular Meeting of the Council on June 6 the two ordinances concerning the plan map and the zoning code for Fire District #1 will be on the agenda. Council President Harris stated the approval of the labor agreement for the Supervisor Bargaining Unit contract from January 1, 1987 through December 31, 1989 will be on the agenda of the Regular Meeting on June 6, 1988. It has the approval of the union.

MOTION CARRIED. Council President Harris stated the CIP policies will be on the agenda of the June 6 meeting. In the meantime all City Council members should go through the policies and bring back ideas as to what they would like to have changed. Pam Thorsen, representing the Tukwila /Sea -Tac Chamber of Commerce, explained the service performance of last year's contract. The proposal is to continue to perform the services outlined in the contract. Council President Harris stated the City Council members will look over the projects that have been outlined and make suggestions. It will be on the agenda of the Regular Meeting on June 6. Council President Harris reported the Suburban Cities meeting is coming up. The water rate change will be discussed on June 13, 1988. Chairman Duffie reported the noise ordinance is being discussed in committee. Chair Hernandez reported a large attendance at the last meeting where the tow truck rates were discussed.

D. #1 annexation area & to the City's Zoning Code. Jack Pace, Senior Planner, identified the area as approximately .72 acres of land located at 13530 53rd Avenue South, Tukwila. Mayor Van Dusen opened the Public Hearing. Cris Crumbaugh, attorney for the applicant, discussed the appearanc of fairness, stating the mayor is his client on a corporate matter. Mayor Van Dusen asked the audience if anyone had any objections or felt the appearance of fairness had been violated. There were no objections. The matter was discussed with the City Attorney and the opinion was expressed there was no conflict; further study brought forth the possibility of a conflict due to the fact that the area involves a single property owner rather than a large area involving many property owners. Council President i Harris stated she did not discuss it except as it related to being an agenda meeting item. Since there were no objections Mr. Crumbaugh stated the owners have requested the Comprehensive Plan map changes from Low Density Residential to Commercial, and pre- annexation zone designation of Regional Retail Business (C -2). This area is not appropriate for residential due to the Park and Ride lot nearby. Mayor Van Dusen stated this is one of two hearings. The second hearing will be held in 30 days on June 20, 1988. There being no further comments Mayor Van Dusen closed the Public Hearing. Moira Bradshaw, Associate Planner, addressed the issue for the Planning Department, going over the previous discussion material. The potential M -3 zone would remain; with regard to mobile - manufactured homes the proposal as originally recommended was that individual lots that have mobile or manufactured home at the time of annexation the code will be changed so they can upgrade or replace with ones that meet the HUD code. The Rainier bank is half in Fire District #1 and half in the Riverton annexation area. Under King County code they can go up to 45' and up additional footage for each foot of setback. Under Tukwila code they can go to 45'. Rainier Bank would like to have the ability to exceed the 45'. The Planning Commission recommended height exception of up to 65' with ability to go up to 115' with BAR approval. In sub -area 4 there was only one owner who felt R -1 was not suitable. The houses back up to the railroad yard. A member of the Task Force went there about the proposed change but the people did not object. Mayor Van Dusen opened the Public Hearing. Robert Mackin, 1301 Aetna Plaza, Seattle, attorney for Scott Traverso and Six Robblees, Inc., stated his concern was the adverse impacts the landscaping requirement of the M -2 zone would have on businesses presently operating in the area. A reduction to 5' would make it comparable to what they would get in King County. There would be a problem to expand and meet the 15' requirement. King County is planning to extend the road. This would make it difficult to enter and exit, park or unload. Councilmember Moriwaki said the 15' landscaping requirement is 15' beyond the sidewalk. Mr. Mackin stated sidewalks are included in the plans on the east side. Sidewalks would not be included in the 15' or if reduced to 5'. Ross Earnst, City Engineer, stated the sidewalk is on the right -of -way. Setbacks are from the right -of -way. Council President Harris said this would be three lanes on the west side and two plus sidewalks on the east side of the planned street.

Minutes of Regular Mtg. of April 18, 1988 PUBLIC HEARINGS - Contd. Ross Earnst, City Engineer, stated the bridge is being replaced now. The bridge is wider than the street so the street will have to be widened. Councilmember Robertson stated Mr. Mackin then would like the 15' landscaping requirement reduced to 5' because the buildings are in the way and the room is needed to get trucks in and out and maneuver the trucks and trailers. He asked if others had asked to have the landscaping reduced. Moira Bradshaw, Associate Planner, stated one request was made in the area heavily populated with truck traffic. The proposed M2 -L which would permit flexible landscaping was explained. Councilmember Moriwaki stated it has been said that the lines would not cut into any buildings. The drawings show 5' clipped off a warehouse. Attorney Mackin said this is not accurate and explained the drawings. George Crestwich, 1221 2nd Avenue, Seattle, stated Stoneway Concrete is in sub -area 3 and the Black River Quarry. They want to continue and consolidate office and long -term planning. They have just learned about the annexation. They would like to maintain as is. This property, sub -area 3 and Black River Quarry, has been designated heavy industrial and is not consistent with what it is now. It is understood the City Council has considered changing it from heavy industrial to light industrial or light manufacturing. They would challenge that. It is heavy manufacturing. They would like it to be consistent. They would like the City to make it heavy industrial. James Hawk, Kent, stated the quarry has been in operation for a long time. There is a lot of truck traffic. Councilmember Moriwaki stated the Renton City Council has indicated they do not believe heavy industrial would be appropriate for that area. Mr. James Hawk said they would like to remain in the County. Council President Harris stated the Black River Quarry is the site the County has in mind for a burning site. Mr. Hawk said they have heard that and they would not like to see it happen. The County can condemn the property and buy it, they have that power. John Richards, 1532 64th Avenue, representing Rainier National Bank, stated the property owned by the bank is cut in half by the proposed annexation. The City would like to match the zoning of King County. The other property is zoned M -2. The bank property is designated M -1. There being no further commented, Mayor Van Dusen closed the Public Hearing.

MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Robertson said it was not his intent to table the appointment of Jerry Hamilton to the Planning Commission; his intent was to postpone the appointment until he could be interviewed by members of the Council who had not met him. Mayor Van Dusen stated the Motion that was made would have to be reflected in the Minutes in the language it was given as TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: MCB /sjn attachments Cit'y(if Tukwila. 6200 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila Washington 98188 tit 4334e00 Gary L vanousen, Mayor MEMORANDUM Tukwila City Council Moira Carr Bradshaw May 12, 1988 SUB -AREA 3 - COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND PRE - ANNEXATION ZONING At the beginning of the process the original direction from the City Council was to provide comparable zoning.

"..; 7.: .. J 11RY 0 t. 1988 C rrY PLANNING DEPT. Your letter of April 4. 1988 requested that the City respond to three questions regarding sanitary sewer service to your property within the Fire District 1 annexation area. The first question was: "When, and at what cost to Spider, will sanitary sewage disposal services be provided to the Beacon Coal Mine Road South area, in the Southeastern end of the proposed annexation area ?" The City of Tukwila will not be preparing a comprehensive sewer service plan for the area until the area has annexed to the City. At that time discussions will be made on how to fund the planning effort and when the plan will be prepared. Our current policy on funding of sewer service is to require the property owners to pay for sewer service, usually by an LID. Question two had to do with legal methods of sewage disposal. Within the current city limits, when sewer service is not available to a property, permits for on- site disposal are issued by King County Public Health Department, which is also true for properties in King County. If a system is legal in King County it is also legal in Tukwila. You could continue to use legal methods in both King County and the City until sewer service was provided to the property. The response to question number three is that an on -site system acceptable to King County's Department of Public Health is also acceptable in Tukwila. The system as long as functional will be allowed until a sewer system is provided. If additional information is required please call me at 433 -0179. Sincerely yours, Ross A. Earnst, P.E.

However, I do not feel that it accurately reflects the Commission's intent. I have reviewed my notes and the minutes of the Planning Commis- sion meeting. The rationale for the language "flexible front yard landscaping" is to allow the five feet of required front yard landscaping to occur back from the street around the building. As Mr. Robblee stated, it is not his intent to create a moonscape. Therefore it cannot be construed that no landscaping was the intent of the Commission's recommendation. For safety reasons, for the landscaping and vehicular movement, it was agreed place- ment should be discretionary. The City's Board of Adjustment is empowered to grant a variance from the minimum five feet as you are suggesting. The process is similar to BAR review as you are recommending. The decision will ultimately be made by the Council at the hearing on Mon- day, the 16th of May. You will have an additional opportunity to comment on the Commission's recommendation at this time. Please call if you have any questions.

RECEIVED MAY 041988• Spider Staging Corporation is located near the southern boundary of Tukwila's proposed annexation of King County Fire District #1, known to Tukwila's Planning Department under the above case numbers. Our manufacturing plant is located at 13536 Beacon Coal Mine Road South, which places us to the East of the railroad right -of -way bisecting the annexation area, and near the southern end of the proposed annexation area.

At preser._, our mana.fact4.ring facility generates only a small amount of "domestic effluent (we have some 95 employees at Headquarters), which has been disposed of via an on -site drainfield for many years. However, King County's Department of Health has determined that the drainfield is in a failing condition, and has directed us to find some other method of lawful sewage disposal. We must take action on this matter in the very near S future. Since annexation by either Renton or Tukwila would probably impact our stLQU plant site in a number of ways, we were most interested to find (via the SPIDER STAGING CORPORATION V'anco.;,e- ° C Reston Chronicle article of April 29) that properties in this vicinity are now unce- discussion by both City .

At the meeting the Planning Commission recommended that staff's proposed alternative One for the new M -2L district, with the purpose clause and five foot landscape requirement as drafted by the staff, be adopted. However, they expressed reservations as to whether the five foot landscaping requirement would be necessary or practical at times. There was discussion as to whether some kind of equivalent screening that would not involve five foot landscaping should be available as an alternative. Comments were also made to the effect that the difficulty of maneuvering large trucks may result in substantial harm to the landscaping, and render it very impractical or useless. There were also statements about limited trees because of the visibility and consequent safety problems. After these comments, the Planning Commission was searching for language to reflect their thinking. You offered the additional language in the purpose clause which would read "flexible front yard landscaping((. I take this to mean that within the discretion of Tukwila, the front yard landscaping could be reduced or even eliminated if an appropriate reason was shown or perhaps alternative screening was provided. If I understand the meaning of the additional language correctly, I share the concern of the Planning Commission that several years down the road when the make -up of the staff, Commission and Council has changed, we need to make sure that these people understand the language in the same way. We were pleased with the Planning Commission's treatment of our issue and their recommendation. However, we would like to discuss with you the addition of some language in the nature of a technical amendment. In other words, language of clarification. : 'Ji31'tkt�.;�1 ±15 . °vC9i tic t 'X1,4k 95g'Y."A 'wt:'nli' srr..vs.:aa;. ti bo' sor r x u. bare -l!

Moira Bradshaw reviewed the supplement to the March 17, 1988 staff report. The Public Hearing was reopened. Mr. Daniel P. Wolf, 11821 44th Avenue S. expressed his concerns regarding a proposed rezone in the annexation area from R -1 to M- 1. He submitted a list of persons living in the affected area which were surveyed for their preference. This was entered into the record as Exhibit 9. Mr. Mike Levy, 17310 S.E. 45th Street, Issaquah represented the owner of a mobile home park in the annexation area. He expressed his concern at the adverse impacts to low income residents should a change be recommended from what is now presently permitted in the area. Ms. Bradshaw clarified that the park would be unaffected by the proposed changes. Panning Commission April 14, 1988 Page 2 Bob Mackin, 1301 Aetna Plaza, 2201 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, WA 98121 represented Scott Traverso and Six Robblees Inc. His concern was the adverse impacts the landscaping requirement of the M -2 zone would have on businesses presently operating in the area. Neil Robblee, 11010 Pacific Highway South felt the landscaping requirement would result in poor visibility and, thus, create a safety hazard for trucks leaving his business. He requested flexibility to move landscaping back from the street. Scott Traverso, 11025 S.E. 60th, Renton, concurred with Mr. Rob - blee and also felt that landscaping placed around the building would be more appropriate. Pete Hedegard, 16800 N.E. 31st, Bellevue favored landscaping against the buildings or kept at lower levels and in narrower areas. He felt trees would create a visual hazard for truck traffic and therefore should not be part of the landscaping. Bill Schaible, 5729 S. Pamela Drive, Seattle, WA. He has a 1973 mobile home on his property and wanted it grandfathered in. He has three lots but they are difficult to develop because of their shape and easements. Inability to use a mobile home would render the property useless. Discussion ensued on this issue. Ed Woyvodich, 14415 - 57th Avenue S., pointed out that the fill that took place on his property was in accordance with all King County standards. He submitted a diagram of his property as Exhibit 10. He felt that unless the property is designated commercial, his property will be rendered useless. John Richards, 15320 - 64th Avenue S. represented Rainier Bank. He favored a 65 foot building height limitation or, subsequent to Board of Architectural review, the option of going higher. Sharon Stanley, 12072 - 44th Place S. was concerned with the impacts a rezone from R -1 to M -1 would have on her property. She wanted the neighborhood and quality of life to be maintained as it is. Norma Derr, 12507 - 50th Place S. expressed a concern regarding the inability to use mobile homes would have on development of the rather small lots in their area. Glenda Knudson, 12050 - 44th Place S. requested information as to the impacts the annexation and rezone will have on her property. PLANNING COMMISSION April 14, 1988 Page 3 Louis Stanley, 12072 - 44th Place S. asked if the current zoning would remain the same if annexation were to occur. Mr. Hamilton clarified that the intent is to preserve the current zoning. Dan Wolf asked for clarification on the current status of the proposed rezone from R -1 to M -1. Mr. Knudson clarified that a vote was not taken at the last meeting. The Public Hearing was closed and a 4- minute recess was called. MR. HAMILTON MOVED TO APPROVE ALTERNATIVE 1 OF THE STAFF REPORT WITH A PROPOSED NEW SECTION M -2L WHOSE PURPOSE SHALL READ AS STATED IN THE STAFF REPORT WITH THE ADDITION OF "AND FLEXIBLE FRONT YARD LANDSCAPING, TO AMEND TABLE 2 OF THE STAFF REPORT TO SHOW THE M -2L ZONE WITH FIVE FEET OF FRONT YARD LANDSCAPING.

Zoning Code ( annexation area and City -wide amendments) Rick ,Beeler, Planning Director, explained the process that has been used in responding to the request for annexation. Moira Bradshaw, staff representative, entered into record Exhibits. 1: (Staff Report) and 2 (letter from Spider Staging Corporation with respect to the sanitary sewer; which will not be considered in this public hearing). She explained the Fire District #1 annexation petition area and its four sub - areas. In sub -area 1, which is industrial,there are not many problems between the City and Kind, County's designation. In sub -area 2 there are light manufacturing, retail, a non - conforming, auto shop, apartments, and community center. The City would duplicate the zoning except for transltional zone of Office /PO on Ryan Way and for an extension of the hilkdimsity ' residential R -4 to include the two remaining lots on the low apartment block. The remainder is proposed for low density and R -1 -7.2 In sub -area 3 in the Empire Way neighborhood there are apartments and a mobile home park, .commercial store type uses as well as light and heavy manufacturing uses. No changes are proposed, although Renton's comprehensive plan is for a green belt area for the southeast tip of the area. Ms. Bradshaw explained the comprehensive plan and 'zoning changes which would be in sub -area 4 to create comparable zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION March 31, 1.988 '''Page 2 ;� Ms. Bradshaw reviewed the zoning code amendments. Chairman Coplen opened the Public Hearing at 8:10 p.m. John Richards, 15320 53rd Avenue South, representing Rainier. Bank, expressed concern with the height limitation. They . would like to have a height : limit .that would give them the ability to redevelop at the current height limit. Dan Wolfe, Chairman of the Annexation Task Force, 11821 44th Avenue South, stated they would like another zone district of M -3 which would eliminate landscaping in a specified area. Woody Wilkinson, 2505 3rd Avenue, representing Jorgenson Steel, Boeing and Rhone Polene said they are interested in the passage of the annexation packet and have worked consistently . with the Task Force to prepare these recommendations. Patrick Dillon, 3278 36th Avenue. SW, expressed desire to have the. City take a look at the property on the sharp bend of the river and resolve the zoning now so they would not have to wait to take action. Rick Beeler, Planning Director, entered Exhibit #3 (Highline Plan), Exhibit #4 (three zoning map boards), Exhibit #5 (Slides), Exhibit #6 (Drawings, Exhibit #7 (Revised staff recommendations regarding manufactured homes), Exhibit #8 (photo maps of the Helstrom properties).

Scott Traverso,.11025SE 60th, Renton, objected to a 15' landscape setback preventiroom to develop. Jack Minnehan 11901 E. ar inal Way South stated & ., landscape setback would put them out of business. Ed Wig 11148 52nd Avenue South, expressed the desire for M -1 zoning on lots fronting 44th Place across from Union Tank Works and backing up to Burlington Northern. Saul Shapiro, 12929 Empire Way South, stated that the Tukwila code does not address the special reeds of mobile homes in this area, therefore . special considerati may need to be made. Mobile Homes provide valuable housing for low income amilies.

The Public Hearing was reopened. Mr. Daniel P. Wolf, 11821 44th Avenue S. expressed his concerns regarding a proposed rezone in the annexation area from R -1 to M- 1. He submitted a list of persons living in the affected area which um surveyed for their preference. This was entered into the raoeti as Exhibit 9. Mr. Mid Levy, 17310 S.E. 45th Street, Issaquah represented the . owner of a mobile home park in the annexation area. He expressed his concern at the adverse impacts to low income residents should a change be recommended from what is now presently permitted in the area. Ms. Bradshaw clarified that the park would be unaffected by the proposed changes. Planning CommiLron April 14, 1988 Page 2 Bob Mackin, 1301 Aetna Plaza, 2201 Sixth Avenue, Seattle WA 98121 represented Scott Traverso and Six Robblees. Inc. His concern was the adverse 'impacts the landscaping requirement of the M -2 zone would have on businesses presently operating in the area. Neil Robblee,' 11010 Pacific Highway.South felt the landscaping requirement would result in poor visibility and, thus, 'create a safety hazard for trucks leaving his business. He requested flexibility to move landscaping.back from the street. Scott Traverso, 11025 S.E. 60th, Renton, concurred with Mr. Rob - blee and also felt that landscaping placed around the building would be, more appropriate. 'Pete.Hedegard, 16800 N.E. 31st, Bellevue favored landscaping against the buildings or kept at lower levels and in narrower areas. He felt trees would create .a visual hazard for truck traffic and therefore should not be part of the landscaping. Bill Schaible, 5729 S. Pamela Drive, Seattle, WA. He has a 1973 mobile home on his and wanted it grandfathered in. He has.three lots but they are difficult to develop because of their shape and easements. Inability to use a mobile home would render the property useless. Discussion-ensued this issue. Ed Woyvodich, 14415 57th Avenue 5., pointed out that the fill that- took'place:on his property was'in accordance with all King County standards. He submitted a diagram of his property as Exhibit 10. He felt that lunless the property is designated commercial, his property will be rendered useless. John 15320 - 64th Avenue S. represented Rainier.Bank. He favored a 65 foot building height limitation or, subsequent to Board of Architectural review, the option of going higher. Sharon Stanley, 12072 - 44th Place S. was concerned with the impacts a rezone from R -1 to M -1 would have on her property.

The Tukwila requirement of additional landscaping only appears to be adverse in an area shown on Attachment N. The area is developed with a large number of truck /trailer -type businesses and parcels which are constricted by size, adjacent roads, the river, and /or utility easements. The 15 feet of landscaping appears to be reasonable and desirable in the exist- ing M -2 district in the City and the remaining M -2 districts in the annexation area. Therefore some alternative not available in the current City code is necessary to provide comparable zoning for the subject area. The testimony received characterized the area as unique from typically large heavy manufacturing sites which accommodate a manufacturing process. The area currently is a mix of commercial, hotel, office, wholesale, truck terminal, storage and residential uses. The predominant use is truck - related sales or businesses which receive daily truck traffic. A landscape buffer, however narrow, can be effective in defining the roadway and providing visual improvement and relief from concrete and asphalt. A landscape area helps separate maneuvering and parked traffic from the road. A grass strip with trees strategically placed between curb cuts does not inhibit views or public safety, or the City could not require landscaping in any commercial area. A 4 -foot area requires expertise in tree selection, whereas 5 feet gives much wider discretion in choice of plant material. Much of the discussion has focused on the needs of truck traffic. These needs and problems are felt in the existing business community of Tukwila. A landscaping exemption for all businesses in the City and annexation area with frequent truck traffic would eliminate landscaping in a majority of areas in the City's commercial /industrial zones. Therefore one solution is to create a new zoning district which recognizes the uniqueness of the annexation area. However, other solutions are also available. These solutions are discussed below. LANDSCAPE REQUIREM IN HEAVY INDUSTRY ZONE Page 2 ALTERNATIVES 1. Add a new Section 18.43 - M -2L whose purpose would be as follows: The purpose of this district is to recognize and provide for a unique in- dustrial area which developed long before other City zoning districts were formed, which has uses of significant air and water pollution, noise, vibra- tion, glare and other environmental impacts, and which requires less strict design standards in recognition of use trends of heavy truck terminals and servicing thereof. Amend Table 2 - Required Landscape Areas ZONE FRONT SIDE REAR M -2L 5 feet None None To include grass and street trees every 30 feet 2. Change the landscape requirement in the existing M -2 zone to permit 5 feet of landscaping for truck terminals and heavy trucking - related businesses and services. 3. Change the landscape requirement in the existing M -2 zone to 5 feet rather than existing 15 feet. EXISTING ALTERNATIVES (22 /88- 1- CPA.S) rerrul TRANSITION BETWEEN HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DI IRICT AND SINGLE - FAMILY DISTRICTS IN ALLENTOWN /DUWAMISH NEIGHBORHOOD As shown on Attachment D, the Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Map, light indus- try uses are positioned adjacent to low density residential uses. Now a heavy industrial use - the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Railroad railways and yards - is adjacent to single - family development. The Planning Commission recommended a Comprehensive Land Use Map and Zoning District change to Heavy Industry for the railroad property and Union Tank Works, as shown on Attachments I and L. This action leaves one block between the railroad and Union Tank Works and another block just south of the Hub Center's entrance, with a Light Industry Comprehensive Plan designation and R -1 zoning. The implication is that Light Industry is perceived as appropriate but change in use is not ready to occur until circumstances change (e.g., adequate utilities are available, streets are improved, etc.). The implications of a more intense zone for the subject blocks is discussed on page 7, Item 5.b of the March 17 Staff Report. There are 22 single - family homes in the subject blocks and one nonconforming Light Industrial use. The Kroll Map indicates that two homes were recently built and none.have been demolished. The condition of the homes range from poor to excellent with no obvious pattern. Whereas the railroad tracks and freight yard may be unappealing for the subject property owners, the view impact is confined and can be screened with vegetation. Noise impact is not mitigated. The traffic from the Burlington Northern HUB Center is also confined to the one entrance and exit onto 124th Street. A change of zoning would eventually lead to development that will introduce traffic onto the residential streets. That traffic will have a greater adverse impact than the now - needed transition. In addition, the land use intent of the annexation is to provide parity. The sub- ject change would impact the 22 homeowners within the subject area as well as the innumerable homeowners across the street and throughout the neighborhood. 1. Provide R -1 -7.2 zoning, thereby retaining the status quo. 2. Change the zoning to M - (Light Industry), which has a 25 -foot front yard (4 feet less than the 30 feet required for R -1), no side and 5 -foot rear. 3. Change the zoning to C -M (Industrial Park), which has a 50 -foot front yard setback and 5 -foot side and rear. FIRE DISTRICT *1 ANNEXATION STUDY Study Area: Street System Lcgc pct "MO".

NORTH ATTACHMENT N FIGURE 1 TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING April 4, 1988 Page 4 PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Consider amend- ments to the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code and Map for the proposed annexation of the Fire District No. 1 area Mayor Pro Tem Harris declared the Public Hearing open. Mr. Beeler explained that this is the beginning of the Coun- cil's process in reviewing the annexation. They are required to hold two public hearings on the annexation, including a review of pre- annexation zoning, Comprehensive Plan amend- ments and text amendments. The Planning Commission has held one Public Hearing and has forwarded their recommendation to the Council. He pointed out the area involved. They are proceeding with the process so that it will be ready for the citizens to vote on in November. Before continuing the hearing, Attorney Hard issued an oath to all those wishing to testify. Moira Bradshaw, Associate Planner, gave an overview of the proposed annexation area. She stated the present King County zoning and what it would be on a comparative level under the Tukwila Zoning Code. She also explained the changes in zon- ing that are being proposed. The Planning staff went out into the neighborhoods to talk to the people, explain to them what is going on, and receive feedback on how the people feel about their residential areas. They also had a citizen task force that reviewed existing zoning and discussed what prob- lems there might be. Based on these actions, the staff came up with proposed changes. Part of the problems that surfaced were due to spot zoning done by King County. An example of this is the Union Tank Works, which is in the middle of a residential area and had an Industrial Park Zoning - Planning staff gave it an M -2 to allow that use. The Tukwila Comprehensive Plan shows it as low density residential so a Comprehensive Plan amendment is needed to be consistent with present zoning. She explained other areas that are inconsis- tent and the changes being proposed. There is quite a lot of trucking going on in an area to the north - truck terminals, truck distribution, truck sales, truck storage. In the Tukwila Zoning Code, truck terminals are allowed only as a Conditional Use in C -M, M -1 and M -2. The recommendation is to make truck terminals a permitted use in M -2. Ms. Bradshaw continued to explain the staff recommendations. The Planning e �n approved ever thing recommended in the Staff Report exce. •: adds ional light industrial and M -1 zoning for the blocks north .f 116th and east of 42nd. They postponed three issue urther discussion: 1) additional M -3 zone, 2) zoning for light industrial blocks in Allentown, and 3) the mobile home issue. Ms. Bradshaw distributed Exhibit/ a letter dated March 29, 1988 from Charles A. Shaw, Staff Counsel, Spider Staging Corporation, concerning sanitary sewage disposal. She also distributed Exhibit 9, a letter dated April 1, 1988 from James A. and Doreen R. Hamilton (12091 - 44th Place S.), .concerning the zoning classification of the piece of property lying along the entire northern boundary of their property. Mr. Robert Macken, attorney representing McConkey Development Company, showed the Council their location - Boeing Access Road to the north, City Light right -of -way on the east, the Duwamish River to the south and west. They are asking for M -3 zoning. Basically, the businesses in that area are fam- ily businesses. It is primarily a warehousing -type area. This is an area that depends on heavy trucking - sales, dis- tribution and warehousing. The problem is getting these large rigs with trailers in and out. You cannot make a 90- degree turn with these vehicles. It will be even tighter TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING April 4, 1988 Page 5 PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) if King County widens the road. If this happens, the truck trailer businesses will go out of business - there is no way they could exist. The business character of the area will change. This could reduce the square foot rental fees in the area; over a period of years it would have a great impact. If any of the businesses wanted to do a substantial remodel that would require a building permit, they would face the landscaping requirement. It is not realistic to figure they will not remodel. They need this capacity in the future or will not be able to stay in business. Landscaping has a beautifying effect but in this area it is a safety hazard. These large vehicles need to have good vision. Fifteen feet of landscaping affects the visibility dramatically. Mr. Pete Hedegard, major tenant in the area with Jencor United, explained that because of the landscaping and curb cuts for the building they are in, it is virtually impossible for a 40 -foot truck trailer to turn into their property. If the County widens the road they will be out of business un- less they can get the curb cuts changed. Another factor is the landscaping; the trucks just drive over it because they cannot maneuver around it. Along the buffer there are small trees, but as these grow the truckers will not be able to see to get out of the property. This area is unique enough right now that the landscaping requirement would be contrary to good use of the land. There is very little foot traffic. It makes sense to get the best utilization of the land in the safest manner. It is a burden to the property to require a setback of fifteen feet. Mr. Neal Robblee, of the Six Robblees Truck Parts business located in this area, explained that he has looked at the City's M -2 zoned areas. The main difference is that the fifteen -foot landscaped buffer designates an industrial park environment. Where they are now was developed long before the concept of industrial or business parks came into being. They are stuck with what they have because the ownership of the land is so cut up. This area is already built up and it would tear them up to have an industrial park zone imposed on them. They like to be there. There are five truck parts businesses there and it is a very healthy environment. There are no residential neighborhoods adjacent. All of these businesses access onto a major highway, and this is another thing that makes a landscape buffer impractical for this area. Mr. Robert Macken commented that these people have been there for years. It is the old fashioned American business spirit that is alive in Tukwila. It will be a shame if these people can't continue. They would be very happy to join your City if they can get some of these problems worked out. This area was developed a long time ago; in order to fit into Tukwila and still not have a damaging impact, we would appreciate if we can get some cooperation and make some adjustments to this particular zone. The M -3 zone is the best solution. He thanked the Council for their time and said that if they can't get some amendments to the zoning code, the character of their businesses will eventually change. Mr. Dan Wolf, chairman of the Annexation Task Force, lives at 11821 - 44th Avenue South. He thanked the City for its effort, time and resources in bringing the annexation process to this point. The Task Force has been meeting weekly since last fall sorting through the annexation issues that pertain to the homeowners, businesses and the industrial community. They are contributing information that will be helpful to the annexation process. Some of the unresolved issues are: TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL; REGULAR MEETING April 4, 1988 Page 6 PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) RECESS 10:12 p.m. 1) The possibility of M -3 zoning; it is the consensus of the Task Force to recommend this zoning. 2) The Mobile Home or Manufactured Home Code recommendation; he felt that whatever the County allows now, the City should allow. 3) Rezoning the residential lots on 44th Place South that back the Bur- lington Northern property. There is discussion on rezoning this property to M -1 to create a buffer zone to the rest of the residential area. We need to find out how the 20 home- owners would feel about this. If the goes to M -1, it is going to attract traffic and there are only three gates to the area. It doesn't lend itself to multiple use. Mr. Woody Wilkinson is with the firm representing the Boeing Company, Jorgensen Steel and Rhone Poulenc. He has attended every Task Force meeting. It has been a very noble experi- ence. They are located in the north industrial area and represent 80% of the assessed valuation. They have only one voting resident. They were not consulted when the annexation petition was drawn up. The initial reaction was negative. Then, they thought that perhaps Tukwila would approach this more rationally than Seattle did. Perhaps Tukwila would create the opportunity for them to explore the prospect of annexation, to look at the problems and to reach some conclu- sions about what would be best for everyone. The Task Force has done an excellent job of this. He commended the staff that attended their meetings and answered their questions. This annexation is different, it is not like McMicken Heights. This is an annexation that has areas and functions that are significantly different than those found in Tukwila today. We are big and complicated and have enormous invest- ments in what we do. The EIS really points this out. We have a pretty well- defined set of needs and do not expect to create a huge drain on the City. We have participated, gone through the process, and basically recommend all of the zon- ing recommendations that are included in the report coming from the Task Force. We support the idea of creating a zone specific for the Trucking Triangle. Mr. Don Elfstrom, 8104 N.E. 121st, speaking for his father, said they own property at the north end of Allentown which the Planning Commission recommended be zoned to M -1. This would make a good transition zone. His father has owned this property for the past 22 years. There are several old houses in there. With Burlington Northern there you can actually feel the buildings shake. In the past five years, they have torn down one four -plex and are looking at three others. They cannot get enough rent money. He recommended the Coun- cil agree with the Planning Commission. There being no further testimony, the Public Hearing was closed. The Council declared a recess. All members previously pres- ent returned to the Council table and the meeting continued. Councilmember Bauch urged the Council to go along with him and agree that the zoning will be a direct conversion and not a rezone on any property. We have had people before who wanted to use the annexation as a lever to get a rezone when the County had already refused their request. Our in- structions to the Planning Commission and Planning staff was to look, as near as possible, to a direct conversion and not any rezone. He said he hoped they would stick to those in- structions. Councilmember Harris commented that during the McMicken annexation some properties were downzoned.

HILLMAN'S MEADOW GARDENS CITY OF SEATTLE, DIVISION No.1...Volume 12 of Plats, page 64, County, Washington. For many years this parcel of land was used as an easement by Gerald Brown and his mother, the previous owners of our property, but in 1979 Pacific Tank Erectors, Inc. seized the land, fenced it, and applied to have the zoning changed from S -R to M -P. The application was challenged by Gerald Brown, whose property we later bought, and by seven other individuals, mostly owners of homes in the vicinity of Pacific Tank Erectors, Inc. The application for rezoning was denied. The details of that decision are described in the enclosed document, "Report and Recommendation to the King County Council. Subject: Building and Land Development File No. 250 -80 -R Proposed Ordinance No. 80- 704."

Fire District #1 Annexation Planning cases 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R and 88 -1 -CA Spider Staging Corporation is located within the boundaries of Tuckwila's proposed annexation of King County Fire District #1, known to you under the above case numbers. Our manufacturing plant is located at 13536 Beacon Coal Mine Road South, which places us to the East of the railroad right -of -way bisecting the annexation area, and also immediately to the East of the Seattle Rendering Works plant. The issue of immediate concern to our Company, and the one on which we request the direction of City administrative officials, and which we would also like the Planning Commission to take note of at your March 31 Public Hearing, has to do with sanitary sewage disposal. At present, our manufacturing facility generates only a small amount of "domestic" effluent (we have some 95 employees on- site), which has been disposed of via an on -site drainfield for many years. However, King County's Department of Health has determined that the drainfield is in a failing condition, and has directed us to Sea:ae St • Vanco.,ver. B.0 Wasrmaton. D C t:' some other method of lawful sewage disposal. We must take action on this matter in the very near future.

Since this sort justification for an annexation, your City's position. We therefore ask that the City's administrative officers respond to the following inquiries, addressing both our company and making the responses part of the Planning Commission record on this annexation: se of we wage disposal for our area service is the principal are most concerned about 1) When, and at what cost to Spider, will sanitary sewage disposal services be provided to the Beacon Coal Mine Road South area, in the Southeastern end of the proposed annexation area? 2) If sanitary sewage disposal services will not be made available to the Beacon Coal Mine Road South area in the very near future, what types of sanitary sewage disposal methods ma we legally use at our plant site; and if the area is annexed as planned, how long may we continue to use the various permissible methods of sewage disposal? 3) If we invest in an on -site septic system acceptable to King County's Department of Health, can we safely assume that this system, as long as functional, will be acceptable to Tukwila after annexation? As you might imagine, it is critically important that we receive a prompt and concise response to the foregoing; our thanks for your attention. Cordial C ar les A.

The petition requests the City to consider and approve annexation of the Fire District's area and requests that an election by residents of the area be established. Amending the City's Comprehensive Plan Map and Zoning Code and Map are essential to the annexation decisions to be made by the City and area resi- dents and property owners. The pre - annexation Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code amendments and comparable zoning are now before the Planning Commission and analyzed in this report. The Commission is to make recommendations to the City Council on this proposal. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was prepared for the annexation and land use actions In September and December of 1987, the Planning Staff held land use meetings in the community. Concerns raised during those meetings are contained in this report. Those meetings also caused the formation of an Annexation Task Force to study the area and the issues. Separately, the task force will present their analysis and recommendations to the Commission and Council. State law requires the City Council to hold two public hearings of its own on the proposal. After the second hearing, the Council is to adopt by ordinance the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code amendments to become effec- tive upon annexation. During previous unsuccessful annexations, the Tukwila City Council adopted pre- annexation zoning for the areas shown on Attachments F and G. Now those ordinances must be repealed by the proposed subsequent ordinances. Report Organization The report is divided into four sections. The first section (blue) is an Executive Summary of the entire staff report. It highlights the contents of the other three sections and contains the recommended actions. The second section (orange) addresses the Comprehensive Plan issues and the amendment of the City's map. The third section (yellow) addresses zoning districts and their delineation on the zoning map. The fourth section (pink) addresses amendments to the text of the zoning code to provide com- parable zones to King County zones. STAFF REPORT to Planning 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA Commission /City Council Page 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 88 -1 -CPA: AREA -WIDE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN MAP AMENDMENTS An amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan is necessary because: 1. The City's Planning Area needs to be expanded to include sections of the proposed annexation area. 2. Changes are needed in the existing plan to accommodate the intensity and type of land uses that have developed in the area since 1977 when the City adopted its existing plan (see pages 4 through 7). Recommendation: Approve Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map shown on Attachment I. 88 -1 -R: AREA -WIDE PRE - ANNEXATION ZONING The Tukwila zoning classifications which most closely compare with the existing County zoning classifications are proposed for the annexation area (see Table 1, page 8). Several exceptions are made from the above table to accommodate differences between the County and City Zoning Codes when existing uses are impacted. These exceptions are noted on pages 8 through 10. Recommendation: Approve the proposed zoning maps shown on Attachments J, K, and L. 88 -1 -CA ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS The code comparison undertaken in the previous section reveals impacts that will occur to the annexation area because of Tukwila's zoning code restrictions. Amend- ments to the City's code are proposed (see pink section) to deal with these use and site restrictions. The proposed amendments will affect the entire city, not just the subject annexation area. In the M -2 zone, changes are proposed to accommodate steel manufacturing pro- cesses, truck terminals, and training facilities. A Height Exception Area is proposed for several M -2 and M -1 districts adjacent to East Marginal. Way, and a height restriction map is imposed to accommodate King County International Airport. Finally, a compromise proposal is presented to allow manufactured homes as replacements for existing mobile and manufactured homes in annexation areas. STAFF REPORT to Planning 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA Commission /City Council Page 4 88 -1 -CPA: AREA -WIDE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN MAP AMENDMENTS FINDINGS Existing Comprehensive Planning 1. Three levels of comprehensive land use planning exist in the area. The King County Comprehensive Plan (April 1985) is a general policy plan which desig- nates the entire annexation area as Urban - areas planned for growth where urban standards shall apply. The Allentown area has an Open Space Designa- tion along the east bank of the Duwamish River for a public park and recreation area. 2. The second level of planning is the more detailed King County Highline Com- munity Plan (November 1977), augmenting the Comprehensive Plan. Only those areas shown on Attachment C were given land use designations typically found in community plans. The plan shows Industrial and Light Industrial designa- tions for areas adjacent to East Marginal Way. 3. The third level of planning is the comprehensive plans of the cities which plan beyond their current limits to encompass a planning area or sphere of influence. Tukwila's and Renton's planning areas cover portions of the annexation area (Attachment D). 4. Detailed information on Land Use /Housing /Population (pages 15 -24), Transpor- tation (pages 25 -50), the Natural Environment (pages 10 -24), and Utilities (pages 80 -91) are contained in the DEIS. Only changes from the existing conditions or impacts are highlighted herein. 5. The character of the areas are clearly developed, shaped by the existing land uses, the topography, and the transportation and utility systems. 6. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Map (Attachment I) makes no area -wide changes. The small changes proposed are mentioned herein. 7. Sub -Area 1: a. There is little undeveloped land. Therefore, any change would occur through redevelopment. b. The Highline Plan (Attachment C) designates the majority of the area as Industry. This designation describes heavy industrial uses including large -scale manufacturing and assembling, fabrication and processing, bulk handling and shipping, large warehousing and storage and heavy trucking. Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan does not include this area. c. Proposed is a land use designation of Heavy Industrial (Attachment J), similar to the Highline Plan. An exception is a small light industrial designation at the northwest corner of the Boeing Access Road and Martin Luther King, Jr. Way intersection. STAFF REPORT to Planning 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA Commission /City Council Page 5 8. Sub -Area 2: a. The Highline Community Plan did not designate this area. The Tukwila Comprehensive Plan does not cover this area. b. Based upon existing land uses, designations of office, commercial, light industrial and high density residential are proposed (Attachment I). 9. Sub -Area 3: a. The City of Renton considers the area south of South 133rd Street to be within their planning area and designates the area for Multi- family, Heavy Industrial, and Greenbelt. b. The area is not within the City of Tukwila's Planning Area. The County has designated the area as Urban but the Highline Plan did not designate this area. c. The Tukwila proposed land uses designations are consistent with the existing character of the area except for Light Industrial at the southeast tip adjacent to Renton. Renton has indicated that they are proposing amendments of their Comprehensive Plan to redesignate areas currently shown as Heavy Industry as Office Park. 10. Sub -Area 4: a. The Allentown /Duwamish neighborhood is one of the few remaining resi- dential communities in the Duwamish River Valley. The majority of the • residents are concerned about retaining the overall quality of their residential neighborhood and the inability to locate individual mobile homes on a single lot if annexed to Tukwila. A property owner would like to request additional Light Industrial at the north end of the neighborhood adjacent to the Burlington Northern railroad right -of -way. b. The Tukwila Comprehensive Plan designates all the existing residential areas except for one block (Light Industrial) as Low Density Residen- tial. The proposal is to continue these designations. The Union Tank Works, the Hub Center, and some adjacent parcels fronting 51st Place South would be redesignated as Heavy Industrial from Light Industrial. c. Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan designates all the industrial areas as Light Industrial. The Highline Plan designates areas along East Mar- ginal Way as Industry and Light Manufacturing (see Attachments D and C). The proposal is to redesignate all of the industrial areas along East Marginal Way with one exception as Heavy Industrial. d. The. Comprehensive Plan will also show a public facility designation for the METRO facility on East Marginal Way, and for the fire station and the church on 42nd Avenue South. e. A Parks and Open Space designation will continue along the east bank of the Duwamish River between 42nd and the I -5 crossing. The City Light STAFF REPORT to Planning 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA Commission /City Council Page 6 right -of -way west and south of the Duwamish is changed from public facility to Parks and Open Space to be consistent with the Duwamish Trail Plan. f. Commercial and Medium - Density Residential designations have been given to the existing uses along 42nd Avenue. CONCLUSIONS 1. The proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map amendments and additions are reflective of a) existing plans for the area, b) the level and type of established uses in the areas, c) the infrastructure serving the areas, d) topography of the areas, and e) public comment. 2. Sub -Area 1: a. Strong relationships exist between transportation facilities (road, water, rail and air) to provide accessory /service uses to the primary uses in the area. Boeing Company relies upon King County International Airport. Rhone Poulence relies upon barge delivery of lumber by- products. Other uses have made locational and capital investment deci- sions based on the unique characteristics of the rail and road access and the land use environment. b. The Heavy Industrial designation is consistent with the existing .commu- nity plan and character of the area. 3. Sub -Area 2: a. The proposed designations are reflective of the low- density residential character that is due in part to the steepness of the area. More in- tense designations are given to parcels along major arterials and /or to accomplish transition between diverse intensity of or incompatible uses. b. The low density residential designation remains for an auto repair shop on 51st because the use is not considered compatible with the adjacent neighborhood residential environment. The City's Comprehensive Land Use policy encourages the abatement of incompatible land uses in viable residential areas (Policy 5, page 46). 4. Sub -Area 3: a. The proposed designations are inconsistent with the proposed Renton Greenbelt and Office Park designations for the area, but are consistent with the majority of their existing plan for the area and /or provide designations which are consistent with existing zoning. STAFF REPORT to Planning 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA Page 7 Commission /City. Council a. Several changes to the existing Tukwila Comprehensive Plan are necessary to reflect significant changes that have occurred in the area_ and to more.accurately reflect the type or intensity of uses. Heavy Industrial provides the necessary intensity level reflective of service and use in the area.. . Any further transitioning of use between. the rail /truck terminal and the Allentown /Duwamish neighborhood would, increase the degree of use incompatibility already in existence. The neighborhood is small 'and has :a limited number of streets. Additional industrial is not conducive to stabi.l i zi ng or improving the quality of .the:. neighborhood nor is there infrastructure in place to support intensification of'use. RECOMMENDATION Based upon the above findings and conclusions, Planning staff recommends approval of Attachment I, Proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map.

Sub -Area 2 Attachment L shows three exceptions that are intended to accomplish transi- tion between commercial and residential uses, continue a nonconforming use, and address a logical extension of multiple family zoning. STAFF REPORT to Planning 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA Commission /City Council Page 9 2. Sub -Area 3 a. Mobile home parks are permitted in County RM zones subject to admin- istrative site plan approval whereas in Tukwila a public site plan approval process (unclassified use) is required. b. Tukwila does not have a zone as dense as the County's RM -900 (48.4 units per acre). The RM -900 district is developed with a trailer park and another parcel appears to be only partially developed with a four -unit structure. 3. Sub -Area 4 a. Many areas within Sub -Areas 3 and 4 are on septic systems and are not within a sewer provider's service area. The King County Health Depart- ment regulates septic tank approvals and inspections. Many of the lots in Allentown /Duwamish and Foster Point have already been subdivided below the minimum standards that currently are required for septic installation - 12,500 square feet. The Health Department however will allow septic systems on pre- existing lots of less than minimum size if the soil tests prove adequate. The City of Tukwila could encourage urban densities of 7,200 square feet for the areas. This will more closely reflect existing lot size, would encourage densities that reflect the area's urban character, and possi- bly give a density that might support future sewer improvements. Any further subdivisions to this size would however be prohibited until sewer service is provided. b. This area has the highest concentration of mobile homes in the annexa- tion area - approximately 40. King County allows mobile homes to be used as a dwelling unit on individual lots. They define mobile homes as factory - assembled structures with the necessary service connections, to be readily movable and to be used as a dwelling unit. c. Tukwila distinguishes between single - family dwelling units and mobile home dwellings and then only permits single - family dwellings within its zoning districts on individual lots. Mobile home parks are allowed however with an unclassified use permit in any zone. d. Several King County M -P, Industrial Park, districts are located in this sub -area. Union Tank Works is located in the heart of a residential district. METRO, besides its storage, maintenance and training, over- hauls it buses along East Marginal Way. The small parcel west of East Marginal Way and -South of the Duwamish.River has an Industrial rather than a Light Industrial Comprehensive Land Use designation. The compar- able Tukwila C -M zone would not be sufficient in use or in standards for the above uses. M -2 is the proposed classification where there is a use inconsistency and M -1 to allow more comparable standards. e. The carpet retail store is a permitted use in the County's B -N, Neigh- borhood Business, zone but is not a permitted use in. Tukwila's. A Regional Retail classification (C -2) is therefore proposed. STAFF REPORT to Planning Commission /City Council . Several nonconforming uses will continue to exist:. along the edges. of Allentown /Duwamish such as City Junk, a recycler of aluminum and copper. CONCLUSIONS ▪ With the exceptions .noted in the Findings section, the proposed zones are comparable to Tukwila classifications. ▪ In order to mitigate the impact of the difference between the, parallel zones zoning code amendments are proposed and discussed in the following section. • The zoning classification exceptions noted in Findings reflect the recom- mended Comprehensive Plan for the area and are proposed to accommodate the existing uses. STAFF REPORT to Planning 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA Commission /City Council Page 11 88 - 1 - CA: ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS 1. Tukwila zones do not duplicate King County zones. Amendments to the Tukwila zoning code will be necessary to provide a greater degree of compatibility. 2. The proposed amendments would be approved through an ordinance that would be effective on annexation of the area to Tukwila. Consideration is given in each analysis to the City -wide impact of amendments to the Zoning Code. 3. An individual representing several property owners has commented that the difference in landscaping standard between the M -2 and M -H classifications is important to future development and use of their property. Tukwila requires 15 feet and King County requires 8 feet with administrative ability under limited conditions to reduce it to 4 feet. Planning staff has not recommended any changes because it is not considered to be as limiting to development as is believed. The 15 feet can be split between the adjacent right -of -way and the building (e.g., 8 feet between sidewalk and parking and 7 feet in front of building) . STEEL MANUFACTURING Existing Tukwila The M -2 zone permits manufacturing and processing of previously manufactured metal, steel fabrication, stamping, dying, shearing or punching of metal, etc. A conditional use permit is required, however, for metal processing which includes smelting, blast furnaces, drop forging, or drop hammering. Proposed Amend (shown in bold print) TMC 18.42.020 to read: "(4) The manufacturing, processing, assembling and /or packaging of previously manufactured metals including, but not limited to, iron and steel fabrication; steel production by electric arc melting, argon oxygen refining, and consumable electrode melting; structural iron or pipe works; stamping, dying, shearing, punching, open die hammer or press forging of metal, wire and rod mills, chain and cable manufactur- ing, and the manufacture of cans, fasteners, bolts, and screws." Discussion This amendment excludes processing of raw ore, usually associated with blast furnaces and smelting, but includes current techniques for reprocessing and remanufacturing of steel ingots. Those current techniques now occur in Sub -Area 1 and cause less noise and vibration than the excluded uses. w... urn+.... ......... .....r...,�..u....n....... rav ....rma >:!'.:l }a::l; STAFF REPORT to Planning 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA Commission /City Council Page 12 TRANSIT OPERATING BASE Existing The METRO south operating base is also used as a training facility. The code does not mention "training ". Proposal Amend (shown in bold print) TMC 18.42.030 to read: Discussion The existing code does not directly address all facets of METRO's use. The operation resembles the permitted and accessory uses associated with truck terminals and manufacturing of heavy transportation equipment, which are both permitted. Assembling, servicing, repairing, storage and offices are all allowed as permitted or accessory uses. Training of drivers appears to be accessory to those activities. TRUCK TERMINALS "18.42.030 Accessory uses. Uses and structures customarily appurtenant to the principally permitted uses, such as service, repair and training activities. (Ord. 1247 §1(part), 1982)." Existing Tukwila Truck terminals are conditional uses in C -M, M -1 and M -2 zones. A truck terminal is interpreted to be a site, building and /or tenant space within a building in which a motor carrier transloads, consolidates or transships goods and /or materials not owned by the carrier. Proposed Amend (shown in bold print) the M -2 Heavy Industry classification, TMC 18.42.020, Principally Permitted Uses, by adding "(7) Truck Terminals" and deleting it from TMC 18.42.040(4), M -2 Conditional Uses. 18.42.040 Conditional Uses (4) Railroad freight or classification yards; Discussion Many businesses operate truck terminals in the annexation area. These terminals include large numbers of truck trips, large paved sites for stor- age, maintenance and servicing, and storage /warehousing of goods. The M -2 districts in the annexation area as well as the one existing M -2 district within the City are isolated and away from residential areas except for the Burlington Northern Hub Center in Allentown. The impacts of noise, STAFF REPORT to Planning 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA Commission /City Council Page 13 aesthetics, and truck congestion on roads are similar to other M -2 uses such as manufacturing, processing, and assembling heavy transportation vehicles and equipment. The use also fits within the purpose section of the M -2 district. HEIGHT EXCEPTION AREA Existing Tukwila The Tukwila Zoning code, page 290, maps areas of the City where buildings may exceed the height.limits of the underlying zone. Otherwise, all three industrial zones are limited to 45 feet. Proposed Amend Map 2 (page 290) to show the annexation area and designated the area north of the Duwamish River and Proverty Hill and the area bounded by SR -99, SR -599, the Duwamish River, and East Marginal Way for heights up to 115 feet. Amend (shown in bold print) TMC 18.50.030, Building Height, up to 115 feet permitted outright. 18.50.030 Building height up to one hundred fifteen feet permitted outright. Structures may be erected up to and including 115 feet in that area of the city located south of Interstate 405 and east of Inter- state 5 and the area of the City located north of the Duwamish River along East Marginal Way and south of the Duwamish River bounded by SR -599, SR -99 and East Marginal Way as shown on Map 2. (Ord 1247 §1(part), 1982)." Discussion The difference between King County and Tukwila is the height allowance above 45 feet in the County's industrial districts. Therefore a height exception area is proposed for the M -2 district in Sub -Area 1 and extending south to SR -599 (see Attachment M). The Rainier Bank Center located on East Marginal Way at South 124th Street would object to not being included in the exception area. The height excep- tion area is not extended into this area because of the Riverton low- density residential areas located adjacent to their site. An alternative approach, which is inconsistent with the Zoning Code's approach to height restrictions, would be to amend the table on page 289 to exactly reflect the King County standard and allow one foot of increase in height for every one foot increase in setback. Existing King County King County regulates heights around its two major airports through an air- space plan map specifying height limits for structures (21.48.040). Boeing STAFF REPORT to Planning Commission /City Council MOBILE HOMES 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA Page 14 Field height limits in the subject area vary from the surface up to 167 feet. Proposed Amend (shown in bold print) TMC 18.50, Height, Setback and Area Regulations, by adding 18.50.045. 18.50.045 Height Regulations Around Major Airports. For the purpose of regulating heights within the vicinity of major airports, there are established and created certain height limitation zones which include all the land lying within the instrument approach zones, noninstrument approach zones, transition zones, horizontal zones and conical zones. Such areas may be shown and defined on an "Airport Height Map" which shall become a part of this ordinance by adoption of the Council subject to the provisions of Chapters 18.81 and 18.92. No building or structure shall be erected, altered or maintained, nor shall any tree be allowed to grow to a height in excess of the height limit herein established in any of the several zones created by this section; provided, however, that this provision shall not prohibit the constructions of or alteration of a building or structure to a height of thirty -five feet above the average finish grade of the lot. Where an area is covered by more than one height limitation zone, the more restrictive limitations shall prevail. Under the provisions of this section, the county adopts the following airport height map(s): A. Airport Height Map: King County International Airport (Boeing Field) Discussion A large portion of the annexation area lies under Boeing Field's approach and departure paths. Regardless of final height limits, the City cannot allow construction to interfere with safe flight paths into Boeing Field. Therefore, adoption is proposed of the Boeing Field Airspace Plan, duplicat- ing current King County standards and procedures. Existing Tukwila The Tukwila Zoning Code, Section 18.12.030 - Principally Permitted Uses, permits "one single - family dwelling unit per lot". The definition section of the Code, TMC 18.06.240, defines a single - family dwelling as a "detached residential dwelling unit other than a mobile home, designed for and occu- pied by one family only." Therefore, mobile homes are only allowed in trailer courts (TMC 18.06.840) through an unclassified use permit, not on individual lots. A grandfathered mobile home located in a residential zone prior to annexing could not be replaced with another mobile home unless the grandfathered unit STAFF REPORT to Planning 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA Commission /City Council Page 15 was destroyed by fire or natural disaster per the nonconforming structure section of the Code. Replacement under these limited circumstances can only be done using a unit of the original dimensions and which does not increase the level of nonconformity in terms of setback and height. Grandfathered mobile homes may be relocated on the same parcel as long as minimum setbacks are maintained. The distinction between the County and the City code is significant because Tukwila excludes a form of low -cost single- family home ownership which is heavily used in Sub -Area 4. In 1976 the Federal Government (HUD) created standards and inspections to regulate manufactured homes. The factory -built housing market has in essence three types of products: a. Mobile homes - which identifies manufactured homes built before enact- ment of the HUD code. This type is not longer built but exists in the used sales market. b. Manufactured homes - built in compliance with the HUD code. c. Modular homes - factory -built to meet local building codes. Proposed Tukwila Change the nonconforming section of the Zoning Code to allow HUD - approved manufactured homes to replace existing mobile homes or existing manufactured homes subject to the standards of the R -1 zone. This would allow existing factory -built dwelling units to continue and /or upgrade to current manufac- tured home standards. The disadvantage of this approach is for those who may have purchased property in the area with expectations of using a HUD Code or mobile home on the site. Amend (shown in bold print) TMC 18.70 - Nonconforming Lots, Structures and Uses, by adding a section: 18.70.055 Mobile and Manufactured Homes. Legally pre- existing mobile and manufactured homes may be replaced. The replacement must be with a HUD - approved manufactured home and must also meet the following stan- dards: a. Shall have roofing material that is residential in appearance including, but not limited to, approved wood, asphalt composition shingles, or fiberglass, but excluding corrugated aluminum, corru- gated fiberglass or metal roof. b. Shall .have a minimum roof pitch of 3 inch rise for each 12 inches of run, or about 25 percent. c. Shall be installed on a foundation system in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Uniform Building Code to the satis- faction of the building inspector. STAFF REPORT to Planning 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA Commission /City Council Page 16 d. Shall have exterior siding that is residential in appearance includ- ing, but not limited to, clapboards, simulated clapboards such as conventional vinyl or metal siding, wood shingles, shakes or similar material, but excluding smooth, ribbed, or corrugated metal or plastic panels. Add: e. Shall have the hitch, axles and wheels removed. Revise 18.06.220 Dwelling, Mobile Home. 18.06.220 Dwelling, mobile home. "Mobile home dwelling" means a de- tached residential dwelling unit which does not conform to the Uniform Building Code or the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, and which is designed for transportation after fabrication on streets or highways on its own wheels or on flatbed or other trailers, and arriving at the site where it is to be occupied as a dwelling com- plete and ready for occupancy except for minor and incidental unpacking and assembly operations, location on jacks or other temporary or perman- ent foundations, connections to utilities, and the like. A travel trailer, a manufactured home, or a modular home is considered a mobile home. (Ord. 1247 §1(part), 1982). 18.06.240 Dwelling, single - family. "Single- family dwelling" means a detached residential dwelling unit other than a mobile or manufactured home, designed for and occupied by one family only. (Ord. 1247 §1(part), 1982). A modular home which is factory built, transportable in one or more sections, and meets the Uniform Building Code is con- sidered to be a single - family dwelling. 18.06.221 Dwelling, Manufactured Home. Manufactured dwelling means a detached residential dwelling unit fabricated in an off -site manufactur- ing facility for installation or assembly at the building site, bearing a label certifying that it is built in compliance with the Federal Manu- factured Housing Construction and Safety Standards. Alternatives 1. Create a new zone, such as RX -1, for the annexation area, which would permit mobile and manufactured (HUD code) homes or just manufactured (HUD code) homes. The purpose of the zone would be to create a King County - comparable single - family zone for areas annexing to the City. The disadvantage of this approach is the confusion and possible question of equity between R -1 which is single - family with no HUD Code or mobile homes permitted and an RX -1 single - family zone where HUD Code homes are permitted. 2.. Amend Tukwi l a' s definitions and R -1 zone to permit manufactured (HUD Code) homes. The City currently allows modular homes, factory -built homes which comply with the local building code. 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA STAFF REPORT to Planning Commission /City Council Page 17 Discussion The purpose of any of the above three alternatives is to allow a wider range of housing opportunities, an objective of the City's Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, and to mitigate the impact on the residents and property owners of annexing areas. The Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan has several objectives and policies which would encourage a change in the current code. "Assure a diversified supply of housing in the Planning Area." (Obj 1, page 51) "Develop guidelines within the Building Code which seek to make pre- fabricated dwellings more substantial and permanent and recognize these dwelling units as a suitable housing alternative." (Policy 3, page 52) "Encourage the development of suitable low- income housing for the elderly." (Policy 2, page 54) The appearance of some homes, especially pre -HUD Code units, are chiefly responsible for the negative image of manufactured homes. Certain design standards can be required that would make a HUD Code home more compatible with traditional residential construction. Wood or non - reflective nonmetallic siding, minimum pitch roof and material and permanent perimeter foundation with a floor elevation compatible with surrounding dwelling units. These conditions, however, will make the original low cost of HUD Code homes somewhat higher. A primary goal of the HUD Code is to improve the quality and the durability of manufactured homes. Because of its fairly recent inception, it has not had the opportunity to prove the test of time. There is a perceived transi- ence associated with mobile homes. Mobile homes have historically come with .a hitch and wheels allowing movement from one area to another. Manufactured homes are still transported to their sites on their own set of wheels, which are then usually removed when placed on the lot. The low cost of these homes also provides interim uses for neighborhoods in transition. Sometimes a property owner looking for a return on his property but who does not want to make a substantial investment in a conventional home in an unstable resi- dential area invests in a mobile home. An individual who buys a convention- al house is usually making a long -term commitment in the neighborhood as well as in the dwelling unit. There is no neighborhood in the annexation area or in the City where the zoning does not reflect the long -range com- prehensive plan. The exception is one block fronting on 44th Place South and backing up to the Hub Center. This one area of disparity between Comprehensive Plan and Zoning is the only area where the City has indicated a transition of land use. In contrast to the individual who purchases a home for its mobility and short -term concerns is the individual who wants to own an individual dwell- ing unit yet is constrained by the cost of conventional home ownership. For these individuals, the manufactured home is their best and only option for home ownership. Their commitment to a location and their unit is as permanent as their neighbor who lives in a conventional home. __ � �.._.. �......... r ... wn w+ wirnrura... erwwv... rrsw.I nr.. �erK. �aew. v�rr• nnr. 4 rnirn�. �ww. fn^ anen �N nu d:. w. � a � v.. mtt Ff;. nrn '.LVr±x4tFLKn.:•L'.3?• +..' STAFF REPORT to Planning 88 -1 -CPA, 88 -1 -R, 88 -1 -CA Commission /City Council Page 18 The priority of the majority of cities is their residential neighborhoods. There is a desire for quality, pleasant residential neighborhoods, which seem to improve with age, the finer the design and maintenance of their structures and landscaping. SHORELINE ENVIRONMENT Chapter 9 of the Tukwila Shoreline Master Program mandates that the Planning Commission review its program every three years and submit any amendments to the City Council and Department of Ecology. The Shoreline program was last updated and partially, incorporated into the adoption of the 1982 Zoning Code. The Washington Administrative Code, WAC 173 -19 -044, discusses the effects of annexation and allows compliance with the pre - existing master program (King County) for the area until a new amended program is adopted by the local government assuming authority. A shoreline amendment is not included at this time with the multiple other issues being reviewed in the proposed annexation. Because annexing shorelines will be protected and developable through WAC 173 -19 -044, a comprehensive update of the City's Shoreline Program should be scheduled for the spring of 1989, at which time, if the annexation has occurred, new maps of the City's shoreline will have been prepared and adequate review can be given.

Dear Ms. Bradshaw: Thank you for the information sent to my office concerning the proposed annexation of Fire District #1. As you know, the boundary of the annexation area includes a portion of the property owned by Rainier National Bank. Your Land Use development comparison was most helpful. Rainier Bank understands that your department's recommendation is to zone the Rainier Bank property classification M -1. The M -1 classification Land -Use and development standards appears to be very close to the King County requirements. Therefore, the proposed classifications could be acceptable to Rainier Bank. Please understand, Rainier Bank emphasizes the "could be" because, at this time, the proposed annexation cannot be accepted. There is one major development restriction within your M -1 classification that is potentially detrimental to the future development plans of Rainier Bank. That restriction is the limitation on building height to not more than forty -five feet (45 Ft.). Currently, King County zoning allows a building height greater than forty -five feet. Rainier Bank understands that the City of Tukwila does have Land -Use "overlay" zones which do allow for increased building heights. However, use of these zones is not being recommended due to the proximity of some residential use zones. Since the Rainier Bank property is located on the valley floor and the residential areas have developed on the hillsides, it appears reasonable to have provisions for an overlay type zone as a part of your annexation Land -Use proposal. Lacking such a provision for increased building height allowance makes the City of Tukwila M -1 zoning classification more restrictive than the current King Vara ' iMi7Vg'w M.sii rFi`h`Dripltizcf4.111 :'7,A heIN:D°.si.'Wu'GYz='r. i.'t 'i'ir.7a."x,G^T1srJ"�5,.$ C"'r, ` "S C. u' raomzksmSBSb 'FYrFXCciWA.i?:i r'. nS`WM /Olga Rainier National Bank Ms. Moira Carr Bradshaw February 18, 1988 Page 2 Sincerely MDM :mb M.

Therefore, Rainier Bank must object to the proposed annexation at this time. However, please understand that although the objection is made, Rainier Bank is maintaining an open mind to the concept of annexation to Tukwila. Perhaps we could arrange a meeting at which time the issue of annexation might be resolved. If so, please call me at 621 -6581. , ;a7yy,g:'t yv „,.��y ;; !' .y�,.. :5k e.v w.', c >:i ra;rp.r. .. c�i..i'r. i•4y.:.` :1': Y,� �..rp,y= *} kti :'�M�t,".�; ;^` t”` '� i!t.�;� <<�N n', i�i.�...r��k_ ', Sig Mx i:' f '.'. .a• "Fr: r �;Y iii {.tr,�..�.tvYi. ski. rl., Sv✓, �', d: �i<".: a�"'• s�.; iw`.

This brochure has been prepared to update you on the status of the proposed annexation to the City of Tukwila and to provide additional answers to common questions about annexation. If you did not receive the March 1988 Question and Answer bro- chure or if you have other questions, please ecall the Planning Department at Why Is the annexation not on the Nov - ember 1988 ballot as expected? The King County Council had two weeks from the date of the Boundary Review Board's (BRB) decision until the Records and Election deadline, to pass the re- quired ordinance. They failed to take any action during that time. Therefore, Tukwila has passed Its fourth resolution supporting the election- method annex- ation, specifying approval of the modi- fied area and requesting that King County now place the annexation on the February 7, 1989 ballot. King County passed . the required ordinance November 14, 1988. What did the BRB decide on the boundary? As you can see on the enclosed map, the BRB made two changes to the Fire District's boundary: 1. They expanded the northern limit up to the Seattle City limits and out to the centerline of the Duwamish River. This splits the 16th Avenue South bridge in half dividing responsibility between King County and Tukwila. 2. They deleted the area east of the Burlington Northern railroad tracks south of the 1 -5 overpass and east of Empire Way; including approximately six homes on 56th Place South, south of Juniper Street.
