NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that First Western Developments of Washington who is the contract purchaser of property has filed an appli- cation for a substantial development permit for the development of an office - warehouse complex of three building comprising 26,000 square feet of building area and forty -five (45) parking spaces. Said development would be located on the east side of West Valley Highway, just south of the Strander Boulevard Intersection, in the NW 1/4 of section 25 of township 23 N., Range 4 E., in Tukwila, Washington. Said development will be partially located within the high impact environment of the Tukwila Shoreline Management Area. Any person desiring to express any views or to be notified of the action taken on this application should notify Vernon Umetsu, Associate Planner, City of Tukwila, Planning Department, 6200 Southcenter Boulevard, Tukwila, WA 98188, in writing within thirty days of the final date of publication of this notice which is October 20, 1985. . Written comments must be received by November 19, 1985. Published: Record Chronicle Date: October 13 and 20, 1985 Distribution: City Clerk Mayor Adjacent Property Owners Department of Ecology Property Owner File . �; AGENDA ITEM CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION $OARD OF ADJUST-MOOT STAFF REPORT 85 -26 -V: FIRST WESTERN DEVELOPMENT OF WASHINGTON INTRODUCTION First Western Development is designing a retail /wholesale development consisting of four separate buildings for the property along the east side of West Valley Highway, north of the Stoneway Sand & Gravel batching plant and across the street from the NC Machinery repair facility. Improvements within West Valley Highway necessitate locating new curbing along the right -of -way line. This prevents the applicant from installing the normally required sidewalk within the right -of -way. Therefore, the applicant has requested a variance from the City's landscaping requirement in order to construct the sidewalk on his property. FINDINGS 1. This property stretches 752.54 feet along West Valley Highway and narrows from 121.82 feet at the south to 82.23 feet at the north (Exhibit A). Generally the property is level and abuts the Puget Sound Power and Light Company right - of -way along the easterly portion of the property. An aviation gas pipeline was erroneously constructed as much as 3 feet inside the easterly property line, instead of within the Puget Sound Power and Light Company right -of -way. Along the West Valley Highway is located a 10 -foot slope, drainage and utility easement as well as a 5 -foot utility easement. 2. The subject property is zoned M -1 (Light Industry) which requires a 15 foot landscaping strip along West Valley Highway (TMC 18.52.020). Due to the una- vailability of right -of -way within West Valley Highway for construction of a 6 -foot sidewalk per Ordinances #1158, 1217, and 1233, the applicant is constrained to locate the required sidewalk within his property which would be a total of 21 feet for landscaping and asidewalk. 3. A total of approximately 27,500 square feet of retail /wholesale and warehouse space within four separate buildings is proposed. These buildings are located in conformance with the zoning code requirements for building setbacks (TMC 18.50.020) and parking requirements (TMC 18.56.050). In addition, the buildings are located the minimum distance from the gas line along the rear /easterly portion of the property. The presence of the gas line requires special foundation construction in order to prevent damage to the pipeline. Access is proposed at two points along West Valley Highway, which may or may not be revised pursuant to consideration of future improvement within the highway and curb cuts on the westerly property. Full traffic movements will not be permitted to and from the highway. Page -2- Board of Adjustment 85 -26 -V: FIRST WESTERN DEVELOPMENT OF WASHINGTON August 1, 1985 4. West Valley Highway adjacent to the subject property is essentially fully developed except for curb and gutter and potentially extending the center to a left turn lane (fifth lane) northward to the intersection of Strander Boulevard. Improvements within the highway are controlled by the State High- way Department with coordination with the City. This summer the State Highway Department will be overlaying the highway with new pavement, but this improve- ment project does not include revising the alignment of the roadway lanes to accommodate the City's required 6 -foot sidewalk. 5. In reviewing the variance application the Board of Adjustment is constrained to utilize the criteria of TMC 18.72.020 without consideration of economic hardship or feasibility. CONCLUSIONS 1. Criteria TMC 18.72.020(1): The variance shall not constitute a grant of spe- cial privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and in the zone in which the property on behalf of which the application was filed is located. Other M -1 zoned properties in the vicinity and in the City are the NC Machinery complex along the west side of West Valley Highway, the Cello Bag Company manufacturing facility and the Stoneway Sand and Gravel batching plant along the easterly side of the highway. Compliance or potential compliance with the landscaping requirements of TMC 18.52.020 is possible except for the Cello Bag Company building which is located within approximately 5 feet of the right -of -way of the highway. The variance would provide more landscaping than possible for the Cello Bag Company, however, the variance may be ..inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity... ", i.e., NC Machinery Company and Stoneway Sand and Gravel. These properties can comply with the City's landscaping and sidewalk requirements. The subject site can accommodate the City's landscaping requirement without the variance through either reducing the size of the buildings or the parking requirements. 2. Criteria TMC 18.72.020(2): The variance is necessary because of special cir- cumstances relating to the size, shape, topography, location or surrounding of the subject property in order to provide it with use rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject property is located. The shape of the subject property (narrow width varying from 121.82 feet to 82.23 feet) is somewhat unique in the City for M -1 zoned properties. This has caused the applicant to secure a temporary parking and truck maneuvering ease- ment along the southerly approximate one -half of the easterly Puget Sound Power and Light Company right -of -way. This easement is considered temporary by the City since the utility company may revoke the easement within 60 days notice. Page -3- Board of Adjustment 85 -26 -V: FIRST WESTERN DEVELOPMENT OF WASHINGTON August 1, 1985 The proposed buildings vary in width from approximately 52 feet to 62 feet and total 27,500 square feet with a parking requirement which essentially maxi- mizes development of the property. A less intense development on the property could reasonably be accomplished without the need for the subject variance. 3. Criteria TMC 18.72.020(3): The granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject property is situated. City staff review of the proposal found detriment or injury to the public welfare or improvements to be minimal and largely confined to access problems to and from the site. Deliveries to the future businesses by large trucks (tractor - trailers) may create impedence to traffic along West Valley Highway and within the site should the acquired truck maneuvering easement be withdrawn and /or truck maneuvering within the site become difficult. The trucks may opt to temporarily park along the curb in West Valley Highway, similar to that currently being experienced in businesses south of the subject property. But the variance itself was not viewed by staff to create any detriment or injury. 4. Criteria TMC 18.72.020(4): The authorization of such variance will not adver- sely affect the implementation of the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan. With or without the variance, location of commercial land uses on the subject property is possible (Objective 1 and Policy 2, p. 60; Policy 3, 4, 5, p. 61; Policy 3, p. 63; Policy 2, p. 64; Policy 3 and 4, p. 65; Policy 1 and 2, p. 72; Objective 6 and Policy 1, p. 79; Policy 6 and 8, p. 81). Granting of the variance will result in 9 feet of landscaping which, if designed appropriately with a berm will result in a meaningful vegetation buffer between the develop- ment and West Valley Highway (Objective 1, p. 24; Policy 3 and 4, p. 61; Policy 3, p. 63). Overall the variance impact does not "adversely affect" the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan. 5. Criteria TMC 18.72.020(5): The granting of such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by the owners of other properties in the same zone or vicinity. Since economic considerations are precluded from consideration the issue is whether or not the proposed property under current development regulations can be developed in a light industrial use. Other properties in the vicinity have been developed or used for light industry to different intensities of develop- ment. It appears that development of the property can occur without the required variances, but in a form different than that proposed. Narrower and /or smaller buildings could alleviate the need for the variance. It does not appear that a "substantial property right" is affected by granting or denying the variance, but that the variance provides for the maximum develop- ment of the site. The maximizing of the intensity of development on a pro - perty is not a property right but a potential reflective of applicable development regulations. 6. In summary, staff favors development of the property in a manner similar to the proposal. The narrow, elongated shape of the property severely reduces site planning .flexibility. Marketing considerations may establish con - siderable design parameters which are inflexible for light industrial buildings on the property featuring a combination of retail, wholesale and warehouse uses in each building. This is not to say that other building uses and /or combinations thereof are not marketable on the property. Being precluded from considering marketing and economic considerations, staff was unable to find the variance application substantially in conformance with all, not just one, of the variance criteria. Therefore, staff was constrained to recommend denial of the variance application. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above, staff recommends the variance application be denied.
