Project Description: The applicant proposes to construct a 317,706 square foot warehouse building, approximately 508 parking spaces, and associated truck loading and office areas. The proposed project is described in Attachments B through H. The structure is approximately 930 feet long along its shoreward face, 32 feet high in the south where it faces the Green River, and 36 feet high in the north. The building lies between 140 and 160 feet from the Green River. The proposed action requires Environmental Review, a Shoreline Management Permit, and BAR review. 2. Existing Development: The project site is currently vacant. 3. Surrounding Land Use: Existing land use is generally warehousing /distribu- tion to the north, south and east, with an asphalt plant to the immediate west. Land uses to the south and east lie across the Green River which is immediately adjacent to the site. 4. Terrain: Site topography is shown in Attachment B. The northern two - thirds of the site is generally flat and at the same elevation as Segale Park Drive "C ". The remaining property along the river rises to general elevations of 35 to 40 feet due to mounding and stockpiling earth. 5. Vegetation: Miscellaneous scrub brush. 6. Access: The area roadway system is shown in Attachment A. Vehicular access to the site is provided by a series of private roads off of 57th Avenue South and South 180th Street. Entry to the project site is provided at four access points along Segale Drive "C" (see Attachment B). 7. Water: The Green River flows along the southern and eastern boundaries of the project site. It is contained by earthen flood control dikes. 8. Utilities: Water, sewer, and storm water facilities are adequate to serve the project site for the proposed action. The project site is subject to Board review due to its location within the Shoreline Zone (TMC 18.60.030(2)(A)) with respect to the criteria in TMC 18.60.050. These site design criteria are listed below in bold, along with a discussion of project consistency. STAFF REPORT to the Planning Commission 87 -4 -DR: Segale 871 Building Page 3 1. Relationship of Structure to Site A. The site should be planned to accomplish a desirable transition with the streetscape and to provide for adequate landscaping, and pedestrian movement. B. Parking and service areas should be located, designed, and screened to moderate the visual impact of large paved areas. C. The height and scale of each building should be considered in relation to its site. Landscaping along the building front and sidewalks along Segale Park Drive "C" (Attachment G) provide a transition between streetscape and building in an industrial park. The height and scale of the building is consistent with other buildings in the area. A small portion of the shoreward parking area intrudes into the River Environment of Tukwila's Shoreline Zone, in violation of TMC 18.44.130 (Attachment H). This will require some minor redesign of the parking layout and landscaping plan. Photinia trees along the south face of the building and the evergreen trees along the river dikes combine to provide a transi- tion from building and shoreward parking areas. This transition could be significantly improved by emplacing the islands of trees which are necessary to break up the large paved areas discussed below. The proposed shoreward parking area encompasses approximately 2.2 acres. This large paved area is relieved by only two landscaped islands at each end of the central parking aisle. TMC 18.60.O50(1)(B) recommends that large parking area visual impacts be moderated. The two additional landscape islands shown in Attachment H would break up this paved area, under the interpretation that the parking area is large and needs visual moderating. These landscaped areas would also provide a pedestrian path from building entrance to shoreline, but would take six parking spaces. Landscaping could be revised if building operations are revised, subject to BAR approval. The east side of the building must also be revised to incorporate a minimum three -foot wide pedestrian walkway per TMC 18.56.O40(4)(D). 2. Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area A. Harmony in texture, lines, and masses is encouraged. B. Appropriate landscape transition to adjoining properties should be provided. C. Public buildings and structures should be consistent with the established neighborhood character. STAFF REPORT to the Planning Commission 87 -4 -DR: Segale 871 Building Page 4 2. Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area (continued) D. Compatibility of vehicular pedestrian circulation patterns and loading facilities in terms of safety, efficiency and convenience should be encouraged. E. Compatibility of on -site vehicular circulation with street circulation should be encouraged. The proposed building is consistent in design with other buildings in the Segale industrial park area. The proposed trees along building walls harmoniously blend the building with its surrounding area. The 35 -foot front building face will be softened by Douglas Firs and the shoreward 32 -foot buildings walls would be softened by the Photinia trees and Coast Pines along the dike. Automatic irrigation of all landscaped areas is important to enhance their ability to survive. Street landscaping and sidewalks is coordinated throughout this industrial park. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation is adequately provided between site and adjacent areas. 3. Landscape and Site Treatment A. Where existing topograhic patterns contribute to beauty and utility of a development, they should be recognized and preserved and enhanced. B. Grades of walks, parking spaces, terraces, and other paved areas should promote safety and provide an inviting and stable appearance. C. Landscape treatment should enhance architectural features, strengthen vistas and important axis, and provide shade. D. In locations where plants will be susceptible to injury by pedestrian or motor traffic, mitigating steps should be taken. E. Where building sites limit planting, the placement of trees or shrubs in paved areas is encouraged. F. Screening of service yards, and other places which tend to be unsightly, should be accomplished by use of walls, fencing, planting or combinations of these. Screening should be effective in winter and summer. G. In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such as fences, walls, and pavings of wood, brick, stone, or gravel may be used. STAFF REPORT to the Planning Commission 87 -4 -DR: Segale 871 Building Page 5 3. Landscape and Site Treatment (continued) H. Exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the adjoining landscape. Lighting standards and fixtures should be of a design and size compatible with the building and adjacent area. Lighting should be shielded, and restrained in design. Excessive brightness and brilliant colors should be avoided. The proposed landscape site treatment is generally consistent with public criteria except for the minor parking lot and landscape changes necessary in the shoreline parking lot, as discussed in "Relationship of Structure to Site ". No exterior lighting plans have been submitted. Lighting should be shielded to prohibit spillover onto other properties. 4. Building Design A. Architectural style is not restricted, evaluation of a project should be based on quality of its design and relationship to surroundings. B. Buildings should be to appropriate scale and be in harmony with permanent neighboring developments. C. Building components, such as windows, doors, eaves, and parapets, should have good proportions and relationship to one another. Building components and ancillary parts shall be consistent with anticipated life of the structure. D. Colors should be harmonious, with bright or brilliant colors used only for accent. E. Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on roof, ground or buildings should be screened from view. F. Exterior lighting should be part of the architectural concept. Fix- tures, standards and all exposed accessories should be harmonious with building design. G. Monotony of design in single or multiple buildings projects should be avoided. Variety of detail, form, and siting should be used to provide visual interest. Building design is generally harmonious with other structures in the indus- trial park (see 18.60.050(2)). The building will be 32 to 37 feet in height, flat roofed, with walls of unpainted concrete. This is similar to nearby building designs. The slight bend in the building sufficiently reduces building monotony. That building shape is different from, but STAFF REPORT to the Planning Commission compatible with, existing development in that part of the business park. The site's landscape design significantly enhances the industrial design of this project. Mechanical equipment between three and ten feet in height will be located on the roof. No permanent location has been selected. Such equipment should be fully screened with materials and colors which are harmonious with the proposed building. 5. Miscellaneous Structures and Street Furniture A. Miscellaneous structures and street furniture should be designed to be part of the architectural concept of design and landscape. Materials should be compatible with buildings, scale should be appropriate, colors should be in harmony with buildings and surroundings, and proportions should be to scale. B. Lighting in connection with miscellaneous structures and street furniture should meet the guidelines applicable to site, landscape and buildings. No street furniture or lighting are proposed. CONCLUSIONS L 87 -4 -DR: Segale 871 Building Page 6 1. Relationship of Structure to Site: The proposed project is generally consistent with the specific criteria except that: a. The shoreward parking area must be redesigned to not encroach in the River Environment. b. The large shoreward parking area should be broken up with landscaping. c. A minimum three -foot wide pedestrian walkway must be placed along the east side of the building. 2. Relationship of Structure to Adjoining Area: The structure's 37 -foot height, concrete material and color is generally consistent with other structures in the area. 3. Landscape and Site Treatment: The plan is generally appropriate except for the minor revisions recommended and the need for luminaire plans. 4. Building Design: Building design is generally harmonious with other structures in the industrial park. All rooftop appurtenances must be fully screened. 5. Miscellaneous Structures and Street Furniture: None are proposed as part of this project. STAFF REPORT 87 -4 -DR: Segale 871 Building Page 7 to the Planning Commission (22/87- 4- DR.1,2,3) RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the above Findings and Conclusions, the staff recommends approval of the proposed project subject to the following conditions which shall be approved by the Planning Director upon satisfactory completion: 1.
