NEW BUSINESS Ordinance #1403- Amending the zoning map by establishing a zoning classif. of M -1 for property known as. the E l l i n g Halvorson property Resolution #1019 - Authorize the Mayor to apply to King Co. Block Grant office to utilize 1987 funds for the athletic play - field project Mayor Van Ousen opened the Public Hearing on the establish- ment of a zoning classification of M -1 (Light Industry) for property located at 4621 South 134th Place. Rick Beeler, Planning Director, illustrated the location of the proposed site and explained that the property has remained unclassified since it was annexed in 1977. It is # acres in size and currently zoned single family. The staff and the Planning Commission recommend the rezone to M -1 within the Comprehensive Plan designation. The applicant has agreed to dedicate 15 feet of right -of -way along So. 134th for road improvements. Attorney Haney asked that the Council packet material be made Exhibit #1- -the Public Hearing notice, the proposed ordi- nance, the ordinance summary, Council Agenda Synopsis, Planning Commission meeting Minutes for August 28,1986, and the Staff Report. Exhibit #2 is a map showing the Comprehensive Plan and the relation of the site to this plan. Michael Smith, 1515 130th N.E., Bellevue, spoke representing Elling Halvorson, owner, of the property. Basically this is a cleanup item for a small parcel of property that was not zoned at the time it was annexed. The area adjacent to the site on the north, the northwest and southwest sides are designated light Industry. The site is strategically located at the South 131st Interchange. The area has been making a steady transition from single family to light industrial uses. This zoning is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan. The existence of the freeway in the area makes the subject site and surrounding area an excellent location for industrial business uses and less desireable for residential uses. There being no further comments, Mayor Van Dusen closed the Public Hearing. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED.

AGENDA ITEM CI T Y OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION - wholesaler of tropical fish - manufacturer of electronic scales - manufacturer of marble /onyx PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT 86 -38 -1k Elling Halvorson INTRODUCTION The subject lot has been in the City of Tukwila since 1977 as an unclassified or unzoned piece of property. The property owner and applicant is requesting an M -1 Light Industry classification. FINDINGS 1. The subject property is .56 acres and is located at 4621 South 134th Street. 2. The lot was annexed into the City of Tukwila under Ordinance 1026 on June 20, 1977, and is unclassified pending classification per TMC 18.84. 3. A former contract purchaser of the lot, Melvin Dickey, applied for a zoning classification of M -1 Light Industry in July 1977. The purpose of the re- quested zoning was for an automobile storage facility or towing impound lot. The Planning Commission after public testimony and deliberation recommended denial of the requested classification. 4. The current applicant has no use planned for the lot at this time although a light industrial -type development will be pursued. 5. The Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan designates the area bounded by 42nd Avenue, Highway 599 and 48th Avenue South as light industrial. 6. The attached zoning map shows the surrounding zoning districts. (Exhibit A) The two zoning districts are light industrial and single - family. 7. The land uses which surround the lot are varied, although the two predomin- ant uses are light industrial and low- density residential. The subject lot is developed with a single - family unit. The lot is bounded on the north or across South 134th Place by undeveloped property, on the east and south by low- density residential units, and to the west by an industrial development which includes the following uses: PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT 86 -38 -V: Elling Halvorson Page 2 8. The City of Tukwila Zoning Code has two light industrial districts: CM - Industrial Park, and LI - Light Industry. The primary difference between the two is that the CM zone requires 50 feet of front yard and 5 feet of side yard setback versus 25 feet of front yard and zero feet of side yard setback in the M -1 zone. The purpose of the proposed M -1 classification is to provide area appro- priate for light industrial uses which are non - nuisance activities in terms of air and water pollution, noise, vibration, glare and odor. The purpose of the CM district is to provide an industrial park -like area appropriate for light industrial uses which are non - nuisance activities in terms of air and water pollution, noise, vibration, glare and odor. The industrial park -like nature of the CM district is intended to be maintained by stringent land development requirements such as setbacks and landscaping. Due to the cascading zoning districts, the number and type of uses would be increased from single - family residential and agricultural uses to high - density residential, commercial or light industrial uses. 9. The majority of the M -1 district in the Fostoria Area was zoned in 1972 by Ordinance No. 743, which included seventeen conditions on use and develop- ment. This ordinance has been supplanted by the 1982 zoning code. 10. Stability of the District. The area northwest and northeast of the parcel, around the SR 599 interchange, is in a transition. The area is the subject of development interest and activity. Within the last year, Farwest Paints at 4500 South 133rd has received a building permit for a new warehouse/ - showroom; Fostoria Industrial Park at South 134th Place and South 133rd Street has expanded with two new warehouse /office structures and is pro- posing the development of a third structure on South 133rd; and Normed has just recently completed a distribution /office facility at South 131st Place. Several smaller structures, formerly residential, have been or will be demolished in anticipation of commercial /industrial development. A stable single - family area along 48th Avenue South borders the industrial area on the south and southeast side and is sandwiched between industrial uses and I -5. 11. Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan. The following goals, policies and objectives from the Comprehensive Plan are relevant to the subject proposal: Residence Goal 1 (page 17) of the Residence element of the Plan: "Preserve the pleasantness and integrity of viable single - family areas." Commerce /Industry Goal 1 (page 18): Assure healthy economic growth through increased employment diversification and strengthening of business and industry. PLANNING COMMISSION C 86 -38 -V: Elling Halvorson STAFF REPORT Page 3 Objective 1 (page 45): Protect all viable residential neighborhoods from intrusions by incompatible land uses. Policy 2 (page 60): Allow for the location of new commercial and industrial areas and the expansion of existing ones when this expansion is compatible with surrounding land use and not detrimental to the public welfare. Objective 2 (page 62): Provide adequate opportunity for industrial and warehouse uses. Transportation Objective 1 (page 72): Establish an efficient, safe and well- designed circulation system which promotes desired development patterns. 12. The SEPA Responsible Official has issued a Determination of Nonsignificance for the zoning proposal. The applicant has agreed to dedicate 15 feet of additional right -of -way along 134th Place. This will correspond with the City's Transportation Improvement Plan for the street and minimum width standards for commercial /industrial streets. South 134th Place is currently a 30 -foot right -of -way with minimum pavement width and open ditch drainage. 13. Per TMC 18.52.030, Special Landscape Requirements, a solid planting screen within a ten -foot wide landscape strip (with a height of five to eight feet) or the construction of a decorative fence is required when an industrial use district occurs adjacent to a single- family use district. The subject site would be required to comply on its southeast and south property lines. At the time of development, the planning department would review and be respon- sible for approving the special landscaping. Fifteen feet of front yard landscaping is automatically required of all M -1 development. 14. When an area is annexed to the City, the property becomes unclassified and subject to the restrictions of the R -1 -12.0 zone per TMC 18.08.020, until classified by ordinance. CONCLUSIONS 1. The proposed classification of M -1 is in conformance with the City's Compre- hensive Land Use Map. The entire block bounded by South 134th Place, South 133rd, South 135th Place and 48th Avenue South is designated by the City for light industrial use. 2. TMC 18.52.030 requires special landscaping when industrial use districts occur adjacent to single - family use. Landscape requirements would attempt to ensure compliance with the policies and objectives of the Land Use Policy Plan regarding compatibility between incompatible uses. 3. The proposed M -1 classification would be an extension of the existing zoning classification and reflect the land uses which adjoin the subject parcel on two sides. i< a. ti-.,);;: Fv.4ia; r.,: ne+ rV' 3a.

Although the staff feels that initial zoning of annexation areas should conform with the City's adopted land use plan, alternative land use deci- sions are available. The City could consider amending the Comprehensive Plan and adopting transitional office or commercial zoning classifications for the subject property(ies). Residential zones would not be appropriate due to the existing industrial uses and zoning district within the subject block and adjacent to the area along SR 599. The City could also request property owners to petition for annexations that encompass larger areas, thereby facilitating comprehensive land use decisionmaking. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the Findings and Conclu- sions of the Staff Report, and recommend approval of the M -1 classification. EXHIBITS A. Zoning map B.

The following is presented as supplementary information and justification for the proposed rezone application from Single Family (v'c.L) Residence to M -1 Light Industry. It provides supportive analysis to the specific questions on the application form, together with additional discussion of the key elements which are prerequisites for the granting of the rezone request. The maps and aerial photos accompanying this application further help to illustrate the relationships and criteria discussed herein which justify the suitability of the site for the proposed rezone. I. Compatibility with Comprehension Plan, Zoning, and Land Use The subject site is located in an area designated as Light Industrial in the Land Use Policy Plan. The general area of the Light Industrial designation is associated with the 599 freeway corridor and the associated interchange at South 133rd Street. This transportation infrastructure, together with the exising industrial development that has created a substantial industrial center in this portion of the City, establishes this area as a logical and desirable location for light industrial usage. These same conditions create a less desirable environment for viable single family residential growth. The light industrial area extends beyond the subject site in all directions; Northerly to the freeway corridor and beyond to Interurban Avenue and the Green River, Westerly to 42nd Avenue south, Southerly to South 134th Place, and Easterly to 48th Avenue South. These boundaries appear logical and in the public interest for proper planning and utilization of the area around this freeway corridor /interchange industrial area. This area was established as part of the Land Use Policy Plan document prepared after substantial public input. The implementation of this plan is considered to be in the best interest of the City and its general public. As stated in the Comprehensive Policy Plan, certain areas are more appropriate for particular land use categories than others, depending upon a variety of natural and man -made criteria (see below for further discussion). Because of the limiting factors of these criteria for suitable industrial development there is an ultimate scarcity of such good locations, and it is particularly important to the future vitality and balance of the community and region ( and thus to the general public interest) to properly utilize these locations for industrial /commercial activity nodes. 2 The subject site is a part of this strategic and important land use element of the City and is in a logical transition phase from low density residential to light industrial in compliance with the Master Plan for the City. As stated on Page 58 of the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, "Industry in the Tukwila area is built upon the transportation network. Accessible freeways, airports, and railroads have provided advantageous locational opportunities, for light manufacturing, heavy industry and distributive -type business. " The subject site is the next adjacent industrial parcel (existing light industry is located directly to the West) for the continuing implementation of this plan for this important freeway interchange area. This also conforms to Objective 1 and Policies 1 and 2 on Page 60. The site is an integral part of this grouping of industrial uses to create a complementary mixture of uses around the focal point of a major transportation linkage. It is part of the continued expansion of this area to its planned boundaries. Objective 2, Page 62 clearly states the need to encourage special areas "for the grouping of warehouses and industrial land users." The related policies are implemented by the establishment of a light industry zone with specific site development controlled by the various requirements of the Zoning Code and other City and regional regulatory requirements. 2. Compatible With Existing Land Use and Development Pattern The transitional nature of the area surrounding the subject site steadily progressed to a point where a significant complex of industrial uses and zoning (M -1) have established the primary land use and zoning pattern for the area. The site immediately adjacent west of the property is presently an industrial use on M -1 zoned property consistent with the proposed request. It also has association with the site because it is owned by the subject applicants. The subject site represents the next logical step for expansion eastward of the established light industrial use and zoning. Beyond the adjacent property further west and south exists a variety of light industrial land uses on similar M -1 Zoned land. Development of a new phase of the Fostoria Industrial Park reflects the continuing vitality and health of the area for light industrial uses. Across the street and north of the site between South 134th Street and SR 599 freeway the existing zoning is M -1 and the land use is primarily undeveloped. Plans were recently reviewed by the city for development of the site by a large industrial user The general area east and southeast of the site is within King County and has a general scattered single family character and S -R residential zoning. However, the property along the north side of South 134th Street between 47th Avenue South and 48th Avenue South has been developed for industrial purposes under the county's M -L zoning designation and is generally compatible with the City's M -1 zone classification. The other residences are fairly distant from the site, and when combined with the screening buffering, setbacks and site planning requirements of the City's Zoning Code, should not be impacted by development of the subject site. A recent 4. Suitable Access Available request for M -1 zoning has been submitted. The public welfare is adequately protected by such development requirements that permit the continuing expansion and improvement of an area as a suitable industrial activity mode within a transitional land use pattern. The general trend in the area for industrial growth on both sides of SR 599 and the existence of the freeway itself point toward a continuing and steady growth potential for the area. The same conditions that make the subject site and surrounding area an excellent location for industrial /business uses are not necessarily suitable for its continuing viability as a prime residential area. The proximity of the noisy freeway corridor and various established industrial uses provide a less- than - desirable environment for residential living. The Comprehensive Plan and zoning pattern of the City has recognized such locational and physical elements as less than desirable for residential uses and designated substantial areas of the City more protected from external forces as future healthy residential growth areas. 3. Adequate Utilities Available The private growth of industrial development in the area including the immediately adjacent property's present industrial /business uses combined with the adequacy of public improvements such as the freeway system and interchange, sanitary sewer, water, and storm drainage provide further justification for the rezone compatibility and timing. All utilities are available to the site which are presently capable or can be suitably upgraded to support development within the proposed M -1 zone classification. Access to the site is compatible with the proposed M -1 zoning. South 134th Place provides public access (50 ft. right -of -way) directly to South 133rd Street and the SR -599 freeway interchange. This freeway also interties nearby to the I -5 Interstate freeway. Additional access is also provided via south 133rd to the extensive Interurban industrial /commercial corridor to which the subject area is adjacent. Such location near the freeway system provides excellent transportation linkage to industrial and commercial elements of the entire region. This exposure and functional relation to transportation linkages of the region is an important locational criteria for suitable light industrial planned uses. 5.

In regard to Public Hearing # 82 -28 -R, we would like to make our objections known to you. The area in question is adjoining 4611 So. 134th P1., and is also owned by Mr. Halvorson,and is already M1 zoned, and covered by Tukwila Ordinance #743. We have a common boundry line, with Mr. Halvorson, of approximately 548 ft. so we are closely connected to this problem We are sending a copy of Ordinance #743 to each member of this Planning Commission and have underlined the restrictions we beleive Mr. Halvorson has been in constant violation of. We are also sending some photographs taken on August 20, at about 6:00 P.M. to further illustrate. We object to the expansion of the M1 area if it is going to be maintained in the same manor as is presently being done at 4611 So. 134thPl. We had a meeting in December 1984 with Mayor VanDusen, City Adminstrator Don Morrison and Associate Planner Rick Beeler, regarding the problem of unkept planting areas, offensive odors, in and around the building owned by Mr. Halvorson. We had con- tacted the city several times regarding this. Finally on May 16, 1985 Mr. Beeler said he had sent a letter to Mr. Halvorson asking him to a meeting on May 30. We have no knowledge as to whether or not such a meeting took place. Several months ago Mr. Morrison said the matter had been handed over to the,,City Attorneys office and it was up to them to pursue it from there. We called again this last week after receiving the notice of this meeting and we were told the exact same thing. "It has been sent to the City Attorneys office" r...':7 '";...:VMr' :g. MW170'_",r . •`an:i` =-'.s :."s tn. ^?1',; ■ To date nothing has been done as far as we can see, and it has been nearly (2) Two years. We have no objections to expanding the Ml area, but only if the ordinance restrictions already on the property owned by Mr. Halvorson, and housed by Structural Instrumentation and Starrow Enterprises, were to be enforced. We feel it is very unfair of property owners .to violate their neighbors rights by disregarding the common rules of decency and the restrictions of a city ordinance. This end of Tukwila does not get the attention that other . areas of the city do. This type of disregard would not be allowed to take place in or around SouthCenter. We not only have our business here, but we live here too and we care about our neighborhood even if it is an Ml zone. We thank you for considering this problem and anything you can do to help enforce the ordinance will be very much appreciated. Respectfully, ,e4.1•40preigrac....

Residence to M -1 Light Industry. It provides supportive analysis to the specific questions on the application form, together with additional discussion of the key elements which are prerequisites for the granting of the rezone request. The maps and aerial photos accompanying this application further help to illustrate the relationships and criteria discussed herein which justify the suitability of the site for the proposed rezone. I. Compatibility with Comprehension Plan, Zoning, and Land Use The subject site is located in an area designated as Light Industrial in the Land Use Policy Plan. The general area of the Light Industrial designation is associated with the 599 freeway corridor and the associated interchange at South 133rd Street. This transportation infrastructure, together with the exising industrial development that has created a substantial industrial center in this portion of the City, establishes this area as a logical and desirable location for light industrial usage. These same conditions create a less desirable environment for viable single family residential growth. The light industrial area extends beyond the subject site in all directions; Northerly to the freeway corridor and beyond to Interurban Avenue and the Green River, Westerly to 42nd Avenue south, Southerly to South 134th Place, and Easterly to 48th Avenue South. These boundaries appear logical and in the public interest for proper planning and utilization of the area around this freeway corridor /interchange industrial area. This area was established as part of the Land Use Policy Plan document prepared after substantial public input. The implementation of this plan is considered to be in the best interest of the City and its general public. As stated in the Comprehensive Policy Plan, certain areas are more appropriate for particular land use categories than others, depending upon a variety of natural and man -made criteria (see below for further discussion). Because of the limiting factors of these criteria for suitable industrial development there is an ultimate scarcity of such good locations, and it is particularly important to the future vitality and balance of the community and region ( and thus to the general public interest) to properly utilize these locations for industrial /commercial activity nodes. 2 4A • The subject site is a part of this strategic and important land use element of the City and is in a logical transition phase from low density residential to light industrial in compliance with the Master Plan for the City. As stated on Page 58 of the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, "Industry in the Tukwila area is built upon the transportation network. Accessible freeways, airports, and railroads have provided advantageous locational opportunities, for light manufacturing, heavy industry and distributive -type business. " The subject site is the next adjacent industrial parcel (existing light industry is located directly to the West) for the continuing implementation of this plan for this important freeway interchange area. This also conforms to Objective 1 and Policies 1 and 2 on Page 60. The site is an integral part of this grouping of industrial uses to create a complementary mixture of uses around the focal point of a major transportation linkage. It is part of the continued expansion of this area to its planned boundaries. Objective 2, Page 62 clearly states the need to encourage special areas "for the grouping of warehouses and industrial land users." The related policies are implemented by the establishment of a light industry zone with specific site development controlled by the various requirements of the Zoning Code and other City and regional regulatory requirements. 2 Compatible With Existing Land Use and Development Pattern The transitional nature of the area surrounding the subject site steadily progressed to a point where a significant complex of industrial uses and zoning (M -1) have established the primary land use and zoning pattern for the area. The site immediately adjacent west of the property is presently an industrial use on M -1 zoned property consistent with the proposed request. It also has association with the site because it is owned by the subject applicants. The subject site represents the next logical step for expansion eastward of the established light industrial use and zoning. Beyond the adjacent property further west and south exists a variety of light industrial land uses on similar M -1 Zoned land. Development of a new phase of the Fostoria Industrial Park reflects the continuing vitality and health of the area for light industrial uses. Across the street and north of the site between South 134th Street and SR 599 freeway the existing zoning is M -1 and the land use is primarily undeveloped. Plans were recently reviewed by the city for development of the site by a large industrial user The general area east and southeast of the site is within King County and has a general scattered single family character and S -R residential zoning. However, the property along the north side of South 134th Street between 47th Avenue South and 48th Avenue South has been developed for industrial purposes under the county's M -L zoning designation and is generally compatible with the City's M -1 zone classification. The other residences are fairly distant from the site, and when combined with the screening buffering, setbacks and site planning requirements of the City's Zoning Code, should not be impacted by development of the subject site. A recent 4. Suitable Access Available 3 s. request for M -1 zoning has been submitted. The public welfare is adequately protected by such development requirements that permit the continuing expansion and improvement of an area as a suitable industrial activity mode within a transitional land use pattern. The general trend in the area for industrial growth on both sides of SR 599 and the existence of the freeway itself point toward a continuing and steady growth potential for the area. The same conditions that make the subject site and surrounding area an excellent location for industrial /business uses are not necessarily suitable for its continuing viability as a prime residential area. The proximity of the noisy freeway corridor and various established industrial uses provide a less -than- desirable environment for residential living. The Comprehensive Plan and zoning pattern of the City has recognized such locational and physical elements as less than desirable for residential uses and designated substantial areas of the City more protected from external forces as future healthy residential growth areas. 3. Adequate Utilities Available The private growth of industrial development in the area including the immediately adjacent property's present industrial /business uses combined with the adequacy of public improvements such as the freeway system and interchange, sanitary sewer, water, and storm drainage provide further justification for the rezone compatibility and timing. All utilities are available to the site which are presently capable or can be suitably upgraded to support development within the proposed M -1 zone classification. Access to the site is compatible with the proposed M -1 zoning. South 134th Place provides public access (50 ft. right -of -way) directly to South 133rd Street and the SR -599 freeway interchange. This freeway also interties nearby to the I -5 Interstate freeway. Additional access is also provided via south 133rd to the extensive Interurban industrial /commercial corridor to which the subject area is adjacent. Such location near the freeway system provides excellent transportation linkage to industrial and commercial elements of the entire region. This exposure and functional relation to transportation linkages of the region is an important locational criteria for suitable light industrial planned uses. 5. Site Characteristics Compatible With Reclassification Request The site specific characteristics are provided in detail in the Environmental Checklist submitted as part of this Application. These characteristics also provide compatibility with the proposed M -1 zone classification. The site has a gentle slope downward toward the South 134th Place right -of -way providing easy drainage to the street storm conveyance system as well as few site ..,: k..;...,,..,... : �° t r�uV xV Ar. 2 1 x, °n rnn> uWAa •u.cfi::zka n3zrt...s:a:,s,.... tt;!!'c...,ft,.1SV3% yaMv._MWL.A. nv:. 6. Conformance to Other City Codes 4 development constraints. The soils are generally acceptable for such development. No significant vegetation, water bodies, other environmentally - sensitive features exist on the site that would make the M -1 zone incompatible or innappropriate. The existing rental residence on the site will be removed as part of future site development. The subject proposal for rezone is first step of a rather extensive City review process. Once the zoning is established and clarified further detailed site planning can occur.
