1. Existing Development: The property is currently vacant. Foster Park is
located to the north of the property. Single - family residences surround the
property on the south, east and west sides.
2. Terrain: The rezone site is generally flat at the top of a hill. There is
a small valley in the middle of the property. The property's steepest slope
is 6 %.
3. Vegetation: The rezone area vegetation is minimal. There are several trees
around the area where the Croissant house was moved.
The 4.48 -acre site was annexed into the City of Tukwila on September 26, 1986
for the purpose of the Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department's developing a
park /playfield. This development will compliment Foster Park located immedi-
ately to the north. Approximately 4 acres is leased on a long -term basis from
the South Central School District. The remaining .48 acres is owned by the City
of Tukwila. Prior to annexation, the property was zoned King County S -R (Sub-
urban Residential, 4 -6 units /acre). (See Attachment A.) At the time of the
annexation an unclassified designation was assigned to the property.
The pertinent Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) criteria are printed in bold, with
applicable findings beneath.
TMC 18.84.030 - Criteria for Granting Zoning Map Reclassification
1. The use or change in zoning requested shall be in conformity with the
adopted comprehensive land use policy, the provisions of this title and the
public interest.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map designates the rezone area as "Parks and
Open Space" with a very small portion of Low - density Residential. While
Tukwila's Zoning Code has no specific designation for parks or open space,
the R -1 district designation is compatible with this Comprehensive Plan
designation. The development of a public park /playfield is consistent with
the City of Tukwila Parks and Open Space Plan for future parks in this area.
2. The use or change in zoning requested in the Zoning. Map or this title for
the establishment of commercial, industrial or residential use shall be
supported by an architectural site plan showing the proposed development.
Section 18.84.030 does not require a site plan for park use. In the R -1
zone, public parks and playgrounds are permitted as an outright use. The
park is likely to be developed in 1988, and no specific site plan has been
developed at this time.

3. When the request is not in agreement with the Comprehensive Land Use Policy
Plan, the applicant shall provide evidence to the City Council's satisfac-
tion that there is an additional need for the requested land classification.
This criteria is not applicable since the rezone request is in conformance
with the Comprehensive Plan.
1. With the recent annexation of the property from unincorporated King County
to the City of Tukwila, this change in circumstances justifies the need for
rezone of this property.
2. The rezone designation conforms to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map.
3. The rezone designation is consistent with the existing uses.
4. The rezone request meets the criteria for granting a zoning map reclassifi-
cation.
Based on the above Findings and Conclusions, the staff recommends that the
Planning Commission approve the rezone request.
