BOHRER, Council President; MABEL J. HARRIS, GEORGE D. HILL, J. REID JOHANSON, DWAYNE D. TRAYNOR, GARY L. VAN DUSEN. MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THE MINUTES OF THE TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING HELD OCTOBER 8, 1979 BE APPROVED AS PUBLISHED. CARRIED. Council President Bohrer declared the Public Hearing open at 7:08 p.m. Kjell Stoknes, OCD Director, said the matter of the annexation is still between the Boundary Review Board and the King County Council. A suit has been filed and this has stopped action. The petitioners for annexa- tion have requested that zoning be developed for the area. Mr. Stoknes said the Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed zoning classifi- cations and they held public hearings in June and July. Work meetings were held after the public hearings and the Planning Commission has recommended the zoning map now before the Council. Mr. E. Bill Rosatto, 927 South 294th Place, Federal Way, said he had an interest in property along Pacific Highway South and near the freeway access to East Marginal Way. He pointed out his property on the wall map. He said he had not received notices of the public hearings and had thought they would be held after the annexation; therefore, he had not paid much attention to what was going on. Council President Bohrer explained the original petition asked for unzoned annexation. The petition was revised and they requested to be zoned before annexation. Mr. Rosatto asked why he did not receive a notice of the public hearing. Mr. Stoknes said the OCD Department got a print -out from King County on all property owners and they were mailed notices of the Public Hearing. Mr. Stoknes advised Mr. Rosatto that according to the print- out the property Mr. Rosatto had indicated as his was listed in several names with a mailing address shown as 17841 2nd Avenue South, Seattle. Mr. Rosatto said the resolution had said the hearings would be held upon annexation. The City Comprehensive Land Use Map shows his property as M-1; the King County map shows it heavy manufacturing. Mr. Stoknes said according to the proposed zoning Mr. Rosatto's property would be single family with 12,000 square feet per lot. Mr. Rosatto said in the City's proposal to King County they said the property would be rezoned in compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. He asked if this zoning was in opposition to that. Council President Bohrer said the Boundary Review Board has no purview over the zoning. Councilman Traynor said there would be two Public Hearings on this subject, the next one would be held on November 26, 1979. Council President Bohrer asked Mr. Rosatto if he was complaining because his property was not excluded from the annexation area? He said the boundaries of the annexation area were established by the petition for annexation and the City had nothing to do with that or any power over it, Mr. Stoknes explained that in order to annex there is no criteria from the Boundary Review Board about the zoning. Originally it was to be brought in unclassified. The citizens later petitioned that it be zoned before annexation. Victor DiPietro, 3600 South 124th, Seattle, said he had not received notice of the Public Hearing. There being no further comments from the audience, Council President Bohrer declared the Public Hearing closed at 7:37 p.m., stating the next Public Hearing on this subject would be held November 26, 1979. Adoption of prop. zoning classifica- tions to become effective if Riverton area is annexed to City. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING October 22, 1979 Page 2 PUBLIC HEARING - Contd. DISCUSSION Prop. use of Block Grant Funds War Wendy Morgan, Tukwila, said she thought the money should be used for low income people and be social programs. To use the money for a pedestrian bridge would be a frivolous use in her opinion. She said emergency day care centers were needed for children, and emergency housing was needed. Transportation is needed to get the elderly and the sick to centers for treatment. Over 60% of public housing is being used by women with children. Chuck Wetzler, 14471 56th South, Tukwila, said he felt the City needed more social services for the low income people in the City. Councilman Hill said most of the people in Tukwila are in the lower and middle income bracket. Mr. Stoknes said the block grant funds are for programs to benefit people. Many of the people in Tukwila are elderly, we do not know how many there are. The Interurban acquisition and the pedestrian bridge would be recreation - oriented programs. He said grant requests Councilman Hill suggested that everyone attending the annexation hearings be notified of the public hearings. Councilman Harris asked if Mr. Rosatto was registering an objection to the zoning? Mr. Rosatto said the hearings were to be after the annexation. He was objecting because there was a change in the procedure, and it does not comply with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Mayor Bauch said with respect to Mr. Rosatto's statement about the zoning not being in conformance to the Comprehensive Plan, the density can be less but it can never have a higher density than it calls for. Councilman Hill said the proposed zoning is consistent with current use. A property owner has the same option to come in and ask for rezoning. Kjell Stoknes, OCD Director, said the suggested uses of the block grant funds were Interurban acquisition and the Christensen Pedestrian Bridge over I -405. He said there is a total accumulated from 1978 and 1979 plus the 1980 allocation of $15,991, totalling $39,470. The total cost of Interurban acquisition would be $118,850, which would require an additional $79,380. The Christensen Pedestrian Bridge would cost $94,066, requiring an additional $54,596. Mr. Stoknes said a social program had been mentioned at the previous public hearing, such as an emergency child care center. Councilman Van Dusen asked about the Interurban acquisition, but said he thought the pedestrian bridge would be the best for the most people. Councilman Traynor voiced the need for the bridge. Mr. Stoknes said he did not know how the realignment of Grady Way bridge would affect the pedestrian bridge. He said the pedestrian bridge would be part of the regular trail and would be a definite benefit to the people. He said another grant request could be submitted. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT STAFF DRAW UP A RESOLUTION ALLOCATING THE MONEY FOR THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AND THERE BE A STUDY MADE ON THE LOCATION OF THE BRIDGE. * Mr. Stoknes said the transportation plan developed by the Public Works Department calls for the sidewalks on the S -Line bridge to be shifted from the west side to the east side to accommodate pedestrian traffic. That transportation plan will solve the problem on the S -Line bridge. An independent bridge spanning the freeway would be expensive. He said he thought a pedestrian bridge along the river would benefit more people. Councilman Bohrer asked what the park uses of the Block Grant funds had been? Mr. Stoknes stated they had been used for underground assistance, Interurban Acquisition, the Home Security Program, and Southgate Community Center.

Proposed Zoning: Proposed Riverton Annexation Area The original staff report for this agenda item is contained in the Planning Commis- sion's packet of the regular June 1979 meeting and in Planning Division File No. MF 79 -14 -A. A public hearing on proposed zoning in the potential Riverton Annexation Area was conducted at the Planning Commission's regular June 1979 meeting. The hearing was closed and discussion was continued to the regular July meeting. At the July meeting, additional information was requested by the Commission. This information was presented to the Commission at the regular August meeting where it was duly con- sidered and placed on the regular September agenda for action. At the regular meeting, staff will present a finalized set of graphics which include (1) a basemap of the proposed Riverton Annexation Area, (2) an overlay showing sewered and unsewered areas, and (3) an overlay depicting flat, rolling, and steep topography. These graphics form the basis for the staff's revised proposal for varied minimum lot sizes in the R -1 district. In addition staff has revised the proposed zoning map to reflect the 14 -point discussion of the Planning Commission as noted in the minutes of the regular August meeting. Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve the . proposed zoning for the potential Riverton Annexation Area as depicted on the pro- posed zoning map dated 9 -26 -79 and contained in Planning Division File No. MF 79 -14 -A.

Chairman Kirsop noted the following corrections that should be made to the minutes of the regular June meeting held June 28, 1979: On page 5, paragraph 6, the statement that the City has property to the west should read: "The property to the west is in the City limits." On page 1, paragraph 9, the correct spelling is Phil Hemenway. On page 6, paragraph 4, first sentence, should read: "...this property is isolated from the general residential area by the freeway and the industrial area in the valley." MOVED BY SOWINSKI, SECONDED BY WELSH, THAT THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR JUNE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD JUNE 28, 1979 BE APPROVED WITH THE ABOVE - NOTED CORRECTIONS. MOTION CARRIED. Kjell Stoknes, OCD Director, stated the public hearings have been held by the City Council on the proposed Crestview annexation. At the first meeting in August it is likely they will adopt the ordinance on zoning. OSED ZONING FOR RIVERTON AREA - RECOMMENDATION: Kjell Stoknes, OCD Director, stated the public hearing on the proposed zoning' for Riverton Area was held and closed. Elizabeth Springer, 13325 - 42nd South, said she felt the Highline Community Plan recommending two residences to the acre in the area should be taken'into consideration. Mr. Kirsop said the Highline Community Plan was not brought into . the discussion. Kjell Stoknes, OCD Director, said when the map was drawn up by the staff the Highline Community Plan was in a preliminary stage. He said they had called but had not been able to get a copy of the adopted document. Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 July 26, 1979 Mr. James said the R -1 -12.0 zoning would create a lot of non - conforming areas. Mr. Sowinski said he felt a more careful study should be made of the Highline Community Plan. He suggested a work meeting be held in two weeks to study this subject. MOVED BY MRS. AVERY, SECONDED BY MR. ORRICO, THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECESS THIS PART OF THE AGENDA UNTIL THE REGULAR AUGUST MEETING, WITH A WORK MEETING SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 9, 1979 TO STUDY THE RIVERTON AREA IN DETAIL.

Chuck Gustafson, representing C & H Partnership, said soils investigations have been completed and the complete results will be available in about two weeks. He said they were concerned about conditions 1 and 3 of the staff recommendation. Their concern is the rebuilding of 54th Avenue South and the retaining walls. He said they would put in proper retaining walls but they hoped they were not beyond the realm of possibility. Phil Fraser, Office Engineer, said from the Public Works Department viewpoint, 54th Avenue South is one lane roadway. He said they would expect to have some kind of widening to two lanes from 160th to 164th, it should be a standard full two lane roadway. He said he was calling Slade Way 160th. Discussion took place among the Commissioners and staff regarding possible dangers on the street during various seasons of the year. Mr. Gustafson said improvements to unsafe access may be required and they have been defined by Washington law. He said they want to furnish an adequate road. He asked about the City participating in the improvement and if this street could be included in the 6 -year improvement plan. MOVED BY MRS. AVERY, SECONDED BY MR.

He said if a regular sprinkling system is put in, it will water the cars. He suggested a "soaking" type irrigation system that is underground. The location and screening of the dumpster was discussed. Mr. Simpson said the dumping of the dumpster is done at night so it does not interfere with traffic in the parking lot. He said they would build a green painted fence around it, with a planting of trees. Mr. Kirsop suggested the landscaping be coordinated with the Doubletree. MOVED BY ORRICO, SECONDED BY RICHARDS, THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVE THE LANDSCAPE AND IRRIGATION PLANS WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1.

Leong, 13504 Pacific Highway South, stating they had put their life savings into this property based on the present RM -900 zoning. He said the proposed rezoning to R -3 is not fair to him and he did not want to annex to Tukwila. Fred Satterstrom,,Plannina Supervisor, read into the record a letter from Theordore M. Rosenblurre, attorney, for Inco Express property, asking the City of Tukwila to amend its proposed zoning for the potential Riverton annexation area in order to provide that Lots 9 -15 in Block 2 Riverton, lying to the northeast of the intersec- tion of South 124th Street and 35th Avenue South, be shown as M -1 rather than R- 1 -7.2, as shown on the . potential zoning map. The letters were submitted to the Planning Commission for their review. Phil Hemingway, 4036 South 128th, congratulated the City on the personal notifica- tion that he had received concerning the proposed annexation to the City of Tukwila. He said after the area is apart of the City would be the time to do the zoning. His place is single family and it seems industry is encroaching and the traffic past his house is severe. The increased business has made it necessary for the traffic to increase. He said he did not agree with the zoning and felt South 128th is a natural division line. Kirk 'Tines, audience, said he owned property in the southwest corner cf the proposed ?nrexaticn area. He said he did not receive a notice of this public hearing, but �.._ people in the mobile court told him about it. He said his property is 'cued = 2- , ; 0 . I t is steep property and gets a lot of water. The downzonii r:: to R is ccin2 tc ,eke it difficult to develop the property.

Chairman Kirsop said the staff plan was designed to be conservative and if, after the annexation, conditions show that certain pieces of property need to be adjusted this would be possible. Under the normal zone rules all would come into Tukwila as single family and adjust from there. Theodore M. Rosenblume, attorney for Inco Express, Inc., owner of Lots 9 -15, Block 2, Riverton Addition, would like to amend the proposed zoning for the potential Riverton annexation area in order to provide that Lots 9 -15 in Block 2 Riverton, lying to the northeast of the intersection of South 124th Street and 35th Avenue South be shown as M -1 rather than R- 1 -7.2. He said they would rather not have to come back and ask for rezone. He pointed out his client's property on the wall map. Tony Molia, Utilities Service Company, Lot 44, said under the new classification his property would be downzoned to commercial. His firm has been there for about 12 years and they have done light manufacturing. He said they did not want to .come in zoned as commercial. He said they are a neighborhood type of business and they would like to come into Tukwila as they are presently zoned. He also thanked staff for the notice he had received concerning the public hearing. Ed Davis, Burien area, said he owned property in the proposed annexation area. He said they have liked their association with King County. He is concerned about the transition. He pointed out his property on the map and said one would not build a single family residence there. Chairman Kirsop said it is the intention of the City to be fair and the petition is being considered upon the request of the residents of the proposed annexation area. Mr. Davis said he thought there should be some kind of a buffer between residential and manufacturing. Rueben Peters, 3817 South 116th, said he was protesting annexation to Tukwila. He said he had been attending these meetings on how to keep out of the City. He said they want to stay out of Tukwila and he would like to have a stop on these public hearings until after the Superior Court has decided whether or not Tukwila can grab the area. He said he thought they might be stopped. Chairman Kirsop said the public hearing is being held as a result of a petition of the people of the proposed annexa- tion area, asking to be annexed to the City. Donald Nicholson, 3810 South 130th, said he had raised his family at this address and has enjoyed living there. He said he had mixed emotions about what is happening. He has worked with King County Planners concerning some of the zoning that has taken .place and they have not been receptive to keeping the single family zoning. He said he did not consider they have adequate hearing with King County and he is happy with the proposed annexation to Tukwila and when it comes to a vote he will support it. Soo Leong, 1936 7th Avenue West, said he and his wife own property in the proposed annexation area. When it was bought it was Rai -900 and now it is R -3. He said his property has been downzoned. Shirley Robinson, 40th Avenue South, said Tukwila did not come to the area asking to annex, the area went to Tukwila. She said they came here because they felt hemmed in. She said it was heavy industry right next to them and they went down to King County and there was a lack of interest in any report on zone violation. She s a i d they would l i k e to be annexed to a smaller area where their needs would be 1 i s =ned to. Now their community is being harrassed by 'traffic. She s a c if they were all like Mr. Molla there would be little probleM; he starts at 8 a.,... and gets thr'o.4h at 5 p.m. She said there are about 90 children who wait for busses near Val:1111M M1iVUIL.

They needed help and asked for annexation and that the zoning be done prior to annexation. She said the Riverton- Quarry area is just as interested in coming into Tukwila as they are. Francis Fleets, 11638 East Marginal Way, spoke for her mother, Margaret Gustafson. She said :hey are in Quarry and it was good to hear that area mentioned. She said her mother has about nine tenants and they felt they were being included against their desires and without being consulted. She said they would like to be left zoned as they are and want to be left alone. Chairman Kirsop said if the area is annexed th.e streets will be improved. Ms. Fleets said they might lose their fire department. John Bigelow, 11534 East Marginal Way South, said the zoning that Tukwila proposes for teem is on the same street that Mrs. . Gustafson lives on. He said they need a buffer between residential and commercial. He said he thought it is pro:osed R -1. There is a need for the buffer zone and a transitional type of zoning .het would allow the use of the property. He said he was objecting to the fact that the zoning does not provide that situation. It is hoped that if the people vote the annexation in that you will consider rezoning to something consistent such as King C:unty now has. He pointed out his property on the map. Jim Nelson, Arlington, Washington, said he owns property in the same area and he appreciated getting a notice regarding the hearing. He said his property is on 116th and East "arc i nel Way. I t is a useless piece of property, you could not build single family homes there now as you could not have septic or sewer facilities. He asked if ukw i 1 a would have sewers there and how soon. Chairman Ki rsoo said that is out of the purview of the Planning Commission, it gets down to establishing a LID. He said the majority of that area is severed, or it may be about half and half. Mr. Nelson said he thought it should be a three family dwelling zone. Chairman Kirsop said the goal of the City is to make the area as compatible as possible. i 1 1 Wiese, 1 3 1 1 9 42nd Avenue South said he has Tukwila a l l around him. He s a i d he had no complaints and would like to annex to the City. John Coikins, 128th and 42nd, said he noted his property is zoned single family and he wanted to thank the Planning Commission for that. Jim Alsoz, 4031 South 117th Place, said he would like to say that he does not have any contention with the zoning for his property, he would l i k e to go into Tukwila. Dennis Smith, 4102 South 140th, asked about the fire protection, if the area is annexed? Chairman Kirsop said this was not the jurisdiction of the Planning Commiss' He said as long as Fire District 1 is there, there will be some kind of contract with them. Tukwila Fire Department would also be able to respond. He said this was just a guess but as the area develops and City finances permit, it is possible another station will be put in that area. As additional land is picked up, industry w i l l require additional facilities. Mr. Smith said the fact that the Tukwila fire station burned down a few years ago makes it no consolation to him. There being no further comments from the audience, Chairman Kirsop declared the Public Hearing closed at 9:05 p.m. MOVED E •' ! SOW' iSi. SECONDED . M f1�•r THAT r..l•� fG M ISSi.3.. C ti ..

Residential land use. • CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION . PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT PUBLIC HEARING: Proposed Zoning 8:00 P.M. (Proposed Riverton Annexation Area) A petition for annexation was filed with the City of Tukwila by residents and pro- perty owners of the Riverton area in September 1978. This petition was certified and accepted by the City of Tukwila, and the City Council passed Resolution #654 which commenced an annexation proceeding and proposed a zoning regulation of Un- classified (i.e., R -1 -12.0) for the entire area to take effect upon annexation. Subsequent to this action, a petition was received by the City of Tukwila from Riverton residents and property owners which requested the City to develop a zoning plan for the proposed annexation area in lieu of the unclassified designation. Therefore, the City of Tukwila has undertaken to develop zoning regulations which the City intends to adopt subsequent to annexation. FINDINGS: 1. The size of the proposed annexation area is approximately 271 acres. The pro- posed Riverton annexation area is depicted in Exhibit A of this staff report. 2. Based on projections of the Tukwila Planning Division, the 1978 population is approximately 906 persons. The population density, therefore, is approximately 3.3 persons per acre. 3. According to a windshield survey conducted by the Tukwila Planning Division staff, there are 346 total housing units in the proposed annexation area. The `following is a breakdown by unit type: - NUMBER OF TOTAL NUMBER HOUSING UNIT TYPE STRUCTURES UNITS BY TYPE Single - family (detached) dwellings 338 338 Two - family (duplex) dwellings 4 8 346 4. Existing land use in the proposed annexation area is depicted in Exhibit B. The following is a brief discussion of the present land use pattern: There are two distinct and separate single - family neighborhoods in the Riverton annexation "area. The Duwamish residential area is located on the valley floor in the northern part of the annexation area. It is well defined, being bounded by the Duwamish River, East Marginal Way, Planning Commission Staff Report and S.R. 99 T. The second residential neighborhood is located on the gently sloping valley wall in the south and central part of the annex- ation area. Both neighborhoods are almost exclusively single - family dwellings with the exception of four duplexes which are dispersed throughout the area. A mobile home court is located adjacent to Paci- fic Highway South in the southwest part of the subject area. The condition of the housing'stock in the Riverton area varies locally. Older, substantial, owner- occupied housing generally shares the neigh- borhood with lower quality renter - occupied units. According to 1970 Census figures and a recent study by the planning staff, over one -half (51 %) of the housing units in the proposed annexation area are renter - occupied. The high ratio of renter - occupancy, combined with the rela- tively older age of the housing stock contribute to an inconsistent pattern of housing quality. b. Commercial land use. Commercial and retail uses are found at three locations in the proposed annexation area: 1) at the South 126th Street and East Marginal Way intersection, 2) the South 130th Street and East Marginal Way inter- section, and 3) along Pacific Highway South which forms the western boundary of the annexation area. Businesses found along East Marginal Way are primarily neighborhood convenience and community- oriented, while businesses along Pacific Highway South are regionally traffic - oriented. c. Industrial land use. Page 2 28 June 1979 Industrial use in the annexation area is concentrated primarily north of South 125th Street (extended) along East Marginal Way, although some industrial use is located as far south as South 128th Street. The industrial uses found in the subject area appear to be distributive in nature, and are characterized by heavy truck activity. d. Community facilities and recreation. Southgate Community Center, a community recreational facility maintained and staffed by the City of Tukwila, is located in the Riverton area on South 131st Street. Also located on South 131st Street are a church and a fraternal order building. A second church is located at the intersec- tion of 37th Avenue South and South 130th Street. An undeveloped King County neighborhood park is located in a wooded ravine in the extreme southern part of the proposed annexation area. e. Undeveloped lands. Most of the undeveloped land in the Riverton area falls into either one of the following categories: 1) undeveloped valley bottomland planned by the County for future industrial use; and 2) undeveloped residentially zoned land on steep slopes.. The former is found in the north part of Riverton while the latter is located generally in the south. Planning Commission Staff Report a. Residential use. Oage 3 28 June 1979 5. Existing King County zoning is shown in Exhibit C and a synopsis of each dis- trict is included in Exhibit D. The basic pattern of current County zoning is a single - family residential area with some industrial zoning in the flat- lands and business and multiple - family zoning located at certain intersec- tions along major arterial streets. a. Residential zoning. Single - family zoning (RS -7200) is used by the County to define low - density residential neighborhods and as a "holding zone" for future urban development (as in the case of valley flatlands located in the north part of the annexation area). In many cases, single - family zoning abuts or is surrounded by industrial and commercial zoning. Multiple - family zoning (RM -1800 and RM -900) is found at the intersec- tion of 40th Avenue South and South 133rd Street (site is undeveloped) and along Pacific Highway South (site is used for mobile home court). b. Commercial zoning. Commercial zoning (B -N and C -G) is found generally at the intersec- tions of major streets along East Marginal Way and at various loca- tions along Pacific Highway South. As previously mentioned, the commercial uses along East Marginal Way are more locally oriented than the highway- oriented businesses along Pacific Highway South. c. Industrial zoning. Industrially zoned land (M -L, M -P, and M -H) is found primarily adjacent to East Marginal Way in the north and central portions of Riverton. Industrial zoning has moved south as far as South 128th Street where it is currently bounded by retail and single - family residential zoning. 6. The King County policy of indicating "potential zoning" for certain land parcels represents the most current future land use plan for the Riverton area. Basically, the potential zoning policy calls for all valley flat- lands from the Duwamish River south to approximately South 125th Street to be designated for some kind of industrial zoning. A strip of multiple - family zoning is called out along East Marginal Way between the river and approximately South 119th Street. Potential additional commercial zoning is predicted along the west side of East Marginal Way between South 126th Street and South 130th Street. 7. The City of Tukwila adopted its Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan (CLUPP) in September 1977. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map included the River- ton area. Exhibit E, which is the Plan Map, indicates the City's planned land use in the Riverton area. Basically, the land use pattern proposed is as follows: Single- family residential use is planned for the core neighborhoods, Planning Commission Page 4 Staff Report 28 June 1979 which include both the Duwamish neighborhood to the north and the River- ton neighborhood to the south. Multiple - family zoning is proposed only along Pacific Highway South. b. Commercial use. A commercial core of businesses is proposed along East Marginal Way between South 126th Street and South 130th Street. In addition, future commercial use is contemplated along Pacific Highway South. c. Industrial use. A light industrial core is proposed in the northern flatlands of the annexation area. The Plan indicates the southern limits of light industrial use to be South 126th Street. 8. The City of Tukwila zoning map is included as Exhibit F. A synopsis of each zoning district is included as Exhibit G. Tukwila's zoning code is Title 18 of the Municipal Code and is included herein by reference as a part of this staff report. 9. Water service is provided by Water Districts #25 and #125. District #25 serves the Duwamish neighborhood primarily; District #125 serves the remainder of the subject area. 10. Val Vue Sewer District serves most of the developed area of Riverton except for the Duwamish neighborhood which utilizes septic tank disposal. CONCLUSIONS: 1. There appears to be evidence of industrial encroachment of the residential areas in the Riverton annexation area, particularly in that area between South 125th Street and South 128th Street. The boundary between single - family and industrial use is not well- defined and no buffer districts have been established. The County's plans for future land use do not appear to further clarify the division between these districts. 2. Large tracts of undeveloped land suitable for industrial development exist in the annexation area. These areas are located west of East Marginal Way on the valley flatlands; they are presently unfilled and unsewered. These lands are presently zoned S -R in the County (a "holding zone ") but are planned for future industrial use on both the County and City land use plans. 3. Very little can be done about the high ratio of renter - occupied housing units. However, a stable land use pattern and firm zoning regulations may indirectly increase owner - occupancy of units and hence, help to upgrade the quality of housing. 4. Adoption of zoning regulations which will implement the Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan and Map will necessarily create some legal non - conforming lots, structures, and uses in the Riverton area: a. Lots. Planning Commission Page 5 Staff Report 28 June 1979 Any lot presently in the County which is a "buildable" lot under the County zoning ordinance could be built upon if annexed to the City of Tukwila, pursuant to regulations of TMC 18.60.160. Lots which presently are less than 7200 square feet in size and are currently occupied by a residence would become legal non - conforming lots upon annexation; such homes could be enlarged or extended as long as setbacks and other di- mensional requirements are complied with. This policy is the same as that which presenity prevails under County jurisdiction. b. Structures. Non - conforming structures which may result from stricter or greater dimensional requirements of the City's zoning ordinance may be main- tained, continued and enlarged pursuant to TMC 18.68. c. Uses. Any use which is presently permitted by County zoning which might become non - conforming by virtue of eventual City zoning could con- tinue as a legal non-conforming use consistent with TMC 18.68. 5. There are some conflicts between the City of Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map and the current King County zoning in the Riverton area. The Major discrepencies are highlighted below: a. Certain lands along East Marginal Way between South 126th Street and South 128th Street are currently zoned "Light Manufacturing" (M -L) in the County. Generally, these properties are proposed for commercial use on the City's Plan Map. b. The County presently maintains "Heavy Manufacturing" (M -H) on certain lands along East Marginal Way north of South 125th Street extended. The City's Plan Map, on the other hand, calls for light industry. It should be noted here, however, that the existing land uses on the M -H zoned properties are either permitted outright or by conditional use permit under the City's M -1 classification. c. In the southwest corner of the proposed annexation area, King County presently maintains RM -900 (multiple family -high density) zoning along Pacific Highway South. This area is designated on the City's Plan Map for medium- density residential. Current land use on this property is a mobile home court and an old motor court now apparently rented as small apartment units. Mobile home courts are allowed in the City of Tukwila by special permission of the City Council, and motor courts are allowed by conditional use permit. RECOMMENDATION: In developing a recommendation, staff has followed the guidelines mentioned below: Planning Commission Staff Report Page 6 28 June 1979 — The City's C.L.U.P.P. and Plan Map should be implemented in the Riverton area through zoning regulations when and if the area chooses to annex to the City of Tukwila; — Where current County zoning and the City's planned land use appear to coincide or conform, the nearest City zone classification should be proposed;. — Where the current County zoning and the City's planned land use do not coin- cide, then the City zone classification which most nearly reflects the City's planned land use designation should be proposed. The Planning Commission should bear in mind through the public hearing process that the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan and Map are general in nature and the Map, especially, need not be interpreted literally. In certain cases, the comprehensive plan policies may be invoked and exercised to make subtle and in- significant modifications to the planned land use pattern depicted on the Plan Map. Significant or widespread changes, however, should be preceeded by a com- prehensive plan amendment. At this time, staff does not propose to amend the City's adopted land use pattern for the proposed Riverton annexation area as established by Ordinance #1039. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend the City Council adopt the proposed zoning pattern for the Riverton area as generally shown in Exhibit H of this report and as more specifically illustrated in the map entitled "Proposed Zoning for the Potential Riverton Annexation Area included in Planning Division File No. MF- 79- 14 -CA.

Seattle, WA. 98109 Re: Rainier Bank Operations Center (Riverton) Dear Mr. Fresn: Thank you for your letter dated 9 January 1980 regarding the Rainier Bank facility on East Marginal Way in the proposed Riverton annexation area. To answer. your questions, I submit the following: The disposition of Draft 3 Zoning Ordinance. Public hearings have been held by the Tukwila Planning Commission in October and November 1979. The Commissioners are now in the process of studying the comments submitted at these hearings. Follow- ing their review and recommendation, a new draft will be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration. Public hearings will be held before the Council on this revised draft. The di of the •ro.osed annexation of Riverton and its related zonin'. The proposed Riverton annexation has •een approve . y t e Bouneary Review Boar. and an election date will probably be set by the King County Council within a few weeks. As far as zoning is concerned, the City of. Tukwila passed Ordinance #1138 on December 17,1979•which establishes zoning in the Riverton area if said area elects to annex to the City. The time factor for annexation and zoning approval. No one is certain at this time when the King County Council will set an election date for the Riverton annexation issue. It is probable, however, that the election will be held in spring of 1980, probably in May. If the results: of the election showed a majority of voters in favor of annexation, the City of Tukwila would probably conduct a. study to determine benefits /costs of annexing the area. The City need only adopt an ordinance to finally enact the annexation, a process requiring only a few weeks to complete. To address your final question, any use presently permitted in the M -1 district by the existing zoning ordinance which becomes "non- conforming" due to future changes in the zoning ordinance is a "grandfathered" use. That is, said use is permitted to remain and is regulated as a legal, non - conforming use. You mention that draft #3 proposes to eliminate office use from the M -1 zone and, therefore, you feel that the Rainier facility might become non - conforming. Please be aware_ that, as presently written, draft #3 permits supportive office uses (business and commercial services), such as the Rainier facility, in the M -1 district. It is not the opinion of this office that Rainier Bank's operations on East Marginal Mr. Skip Fresn Rainier Bank Operati o .. - Center (Riverton} Way would become a non - conforming use with the adoption of draft #3 zoning ordi- nance. You might be interested in knowing that the planning staff has recommended by memo to the Planning Commission dated 16 October 1979 that all office uses be allowed in the M -1 zone in the new draft ordinance (dropping the words "suppor- tive" and "complementary "). Nevertheless, even without this clarification of wording, the planning staff views Rainier Bank's facility as a conforming use. Should you have any further questions or comments regarding zoning or other land use matters, please don't hesitate to call.

(907) 276.1358 December 17, 1979 This office represents Assunta Desimone, who owns a large, undeveloped tract lying within the potential Riverton annexation area. Mrs. Desimone is opposed to the annexation of her property to the City of Tukwila. If the area were to be annexed to the City of Tukwila, she would like her property to be zoned heavy manufactur- ing. The property is presently zoned by King County: "suburban residential, potential heavy manufacturing A copy of a map showing Mrs. Desimone's property outlined in red is enclosed. Mrs. Desimone's reasons for wanting her property to be zoned heavy manufacturing are as follows: 1. The property north of South 125th Street, which includes the property owned by Mrs. Desimone, is presently either zoned MH or residential, with an MH potential, and has been so zoned for many years. Property adjacent to Mrs. Desimone's property is now being put to industrial uses. The Rainier National Bank Computer Center and the Metro bus repair facilities are nearby. There are no residential or commercial uses adjacent to Mrs. Desimone's property. The County took into consideration the present use of the property north of South 125th Street in arriving at its deter- mination that the property should be zoned with a potential for heavy manufacturing use, and the City should do likewise. The area is not suited for residential or commercial use. 2. Much of the ground on Mrs. Desimone's property is deep peat material, which in order to be properly developed, will require the placement of a very large amount of fill material and possibly the use of deeply driven pilings in order to safely support any buildings. Since the fill material and pilings would be very expensive, it is doubtful that any use other than a heavy manufacturing use would justify the expense. •WASHINGTON STATE AND ALASKA STATE BARS. ••ALASKA BAR ONLY.

If a suitable industrial tenant or purchaser could be found, who would undertake the expensive fill and other work re- quired in order to make the property usable, the property would have a substantial market value. However, if the property were zoned anything less than heavy manufactxring, the likelihood is that the property could not be used for any purpose, and would remain vacant. This would, of course, substantially reduce its market value and its assessed value for real property tax purposes. We understand that you are presently developing a proposed zoning plan for the potential Riverton annexation area, and we trust that you will take Mrs. Desimone's.views into account in developing the proposed zoning of her tract of land.

Satterstrom, Planning Supervisor DATE: 24 S ptember 1979 SUBJECT: Reco ended Minimum Lot Sizes: Riverton Annexation Area City of Tukwila 6200 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila Washington 98188 Edgar D. Bauch, Mayor M EMORANDUM Staff has developed an overlay system of the following factors in the Riverton area: 1. Slope Characteristics - Flat (less than 5% slope) - Rolling (5 - 15% slope) - Steep (more than 15% slope) 2. Public Sewer - Sewered areas - Unsewered areas By mapping the geographic distribution of these factors and overlaying them, certain patterns present themselves. The flat, sewered areas (which are the most suitable for residential development) can readily be distinguished from the steep, unsewered areas (which pose the greatest constraints to development). From the slope and public sewer overlays, staff has developed a proposed map with recommended minimum lot sizes depicted on it. This proposal is based on the following criteria: SITE CHARACTERISTICS 1. Flat /Sewered The level, sewered areas represent the most developable lands, with little constraint for residential building. These areas are found primarily in the low -lying parts of Riverton in and around the neighborhood commercial node. RECOMMENDED MINIMUM LOT SIZE (SQ. FT.) R -1 -7.2 (7,200) Memorandum Planning Commission 2. Rolling /Sewered Slopes between 5 %- 15% gradient tend to constrain residential building but the availability of public sewer allows off -site treatment of effluent. 3. Steep /Sewered While the availability of public sewer systems allows for more building flexibility, slopes over 15% have a significant impact on site size requirements. Thus, the additional 2000+ sq. ft. under R -1 -9.6 zoning should allow for a buildable area even on steep slopes. 4. Flat /No Sewer This category is the opposite of the abovementioned category. Here, the topography poses little or no constraint to building but the necessity of on -site sewerage treatment tends to increase lot size require- ments. These areas are found primarily in the northern part of Riverton on the valley floor. 5. Rolling /No Sewer Both factors here combine to make residential develop- ment difficult on small sites. Increased lot size is required to afford room for both the residential structure and the on -site sewage disposal system. 6. Steep /No Sewer These areas represent the most difficult to.develop into suitable residential home sites. Increased lot size is required to suitably locate both the residential structure and the on -site sewage disposal system. The staff - proposed minimum residential lot sizes have been integrated into the Proposed Zoning Map for the Potential Riverton Annexation Area. In addition, this map also contains the other proposed zone changes which the Commission discussed at the regular August meeting.
