MOTION CARRIED. Moved by Mrs. Davis, seconded by Mr. Sterling, to place the substitute resolution on the next regular meeting with a "Do Pass as Amended" recommendation to the Council. MOTION CARRIED. 2. Proposed Resolution - Comprehensive Plan Goals - Mrs. Harris expressed concern about the contents of Sections 3 and 4. Mr. Stoknes indicated if there were an., r reservations•lboiut' these sections, it would not affect the intent of the resolution. The goals were reviewed and found to be excellent and very well expressed. Moved by Mr. Sterling, seconded by Mrs. Davis to delete Sections 3 and 4 from the proposed resolution. MOTION CARRIED. Moved by Mrs. Harris, seconded by Mr. Sterling to recommend to the Council "Do Pass as Amended ". MOTION CARRIED. The committee then discussed a proposal by Mrs. Harris to retain the legal services of an attorney specializing in land use law. She explained that the project of revising the comprehensive plan and formulating elements, policies are very critical, and the guidance of an attorney who is expert in this field is necessary to insure that the city develops the best and legal document. She also stated that since this field is complicated, and there are numerous court decisions which may influence what policy the city may consider developing, it would be best to have some one who does have that knowledge. It is too much to expect that a single attorney, not specializing in this field, would have all the necessary infor- mation to advise the city. Moved by Mrs. Harris, seconded by Mrs. Davis, to recommend to the Council that independent legal counsel be retained, Mr. Darrel Bastion, Land Use Attorney, for purposes of assisting the citizen committees, through the Planning Lepartment, Planning Commission, and Council during the development of the revision and /or adoption of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and elements, at any such time as these bodies may deem_.necessary, and such counsel shall continue until this project is completed. MOTION CARRIED. 3. Community Center Location. The committee reviewed correspondence and attachments, dated 8/14/75 from Mr. Steve Hall, Director of Public Works. Subject location is generally in the area of 53rd Ave. So. and So. 144th St. The committee felt the location was suitable for a community center and /or recreation area. It is centrally located, even should the city annex to the west. The committee felt. this land should be purchased to insure an.area would be provided for future cow. ^..unity needs. The access is good, utilities are available. It is consistaat with i:Re present Comprehensive Park Plan; the Pat: Board recommended this site, and also reco.::monrted it be acquired in the year 1975. It should be noted that there .eve u been numerous public h...�,.rings to receiv.. Public c innut on this. Ir. 1973, the rlenning Commission conducted hearings in the process of developing an acquisition program for parks, hearings of this committee during 1975 budget process, Park Board, the formal Public hearing by the Council in December 1974 for the 1975 budget. Another public hearing by the Council may be desired. If the council should determine a public hearing is not necessary the following recommendation to the Council is made: Moved by Mrs. Davis, seconded by Mr. Sterling that the Administration , and'City Attorney be directed to immediately initiate efforts to acquire this property, as outlined in the attachments of letter from Mr. Hall, dated 8/14/75. Funds for this acquisition are available in the Building Development 'and Lan. Acquisition Fund. MOTION CARRIED. 4. Proposed Ordinance Annexing Property to the City. The committee discussed this subject at length. It was moved by Mrs. Davis, seconded by Mrs. Harris, to amend the title to read as follows: "An Ordinance Annexing Property Located on the West Intersection of Interurban Avenue and 52nd Avenue South to the City of Tukwila. I•OTION CARRIED. There is at present no request for rezone for the property. Mrs. Davis expressed the concern of how the property will be used. Mr. Stokness indicated that until a comprehensive plan is preaard the site would be anon- conforn- •ing use, because it would be unclassified. Further discussion disclosed that the city has the authority to initiate a rezone for the health, safety and welfare of the community, following prescribed due process. After adoption of the revised Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map the city should consider initiating a rezone on this property to the appropriate land use classification. The policy recently adopted by the Council was considered in relation to this subject. It was determin -- • ed that the policy does not affect annexations; further there is no rezone request, and there is no amendment to the city's comprehensive plan. Moved by Mr. Sterling, seconded by Mrs. Davis to recommend to the Council "Do Pass as Amended ". MOTION CARRIED. 5. Proposed Resolutior. Attending Resolution No. 455 and Resolution 474 to Change the Dates and Times of the Finance and Personnel Committee and the Public Works Committee. Moved by Mrs. Davis, seconded by Mr. Sterling to amend the resolution as follows: 1. In the title, delete the word "and" in the fourth line, and after Committee, of that line, ad "and the Public Safety Committee ". 2. Change paragraph regarding Public .Safety Committee to react. "meetings on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:30 P.M., at the Fire Station, 444 Andover Park East." There being no further business to bring before the committee, the meeting was adjourned. MOTION CARRIED. ./ U.'

Moved: by Mr. Gardner, seconded by Mrs. Harris, to recommend to the Council "Do Pass ". MOTION CARR11JJJ. 2. Residential Water Study. Mr. Hall advised the committee that of the four proposals received, Stevens, Thompson & Runyan indicated an estimate of $5,500 to •$7,500; Harstad & Assoc. would negotiate the estimate upon established detail scope of work, Jones •estimated $7,500, and URS estimated $1,450. It is noted that URS has in its computer data already available, and would be reviewed, whereas Jones and STR would in effect, have to start from scratch -to compile the necessary data, to establish a base —line data. Also URS did the previous update of the city's water plan. There are funds presently available in the water department revenues to award the proposal to URS on their estimate. The committee reminds the council that this study proposal is pursuant to a letter dated April 4, 1975, to the council from the Mayor requesting this. Also, this is a proposed budget item for 1976. The Water Comprehensive Plan completed by URS in 1969 indicated a water storage facility as Phase II of the plan. Moved by Mr. Gardner,' seconded by firs. Harris to continue in committee. MOTION CARRIED. There being no further business to bring before the committee, the meeting was adjourned.

Other Commissioners present were: Mr. Zepp, Mr. Sneva, Mr. Lamb and Mr. West. Staff members present were Mr. Stoknes, Mr. Satterstrom & Mr. Crutchfield. Chairman Mettler called for approval of the minutes of the regular September meeting. Motion by Mr. Sneva, seconded by Mr. Zepp and carried to amend the minutes of 25 September 1975 on page 4, second paragraph to read: Vice- Chairman Kirsop... r . Motion by Mr. Sneva, seconded by Mr. Zepp and carred to approve the minutes as amended. OLD BUSINESS IIIA - City Council Actions Mr. Stoknes, Planning Director, explained this would be a constant item of Old Business to keep the Commission informed of Council actions regarding • planning matters. Briefly described the City Council actions outlined in the Staff Report . adding that City Council had approved the plan process as Staff had proposed and also had approved the Planning Area boundaries. Chairman Mettler noted the Council had received the Commission's letter recommending repeal of Resolution #489 and had made no comment. III B - Comprehensive Plan Review Mr. Satterstrom, Associate Planner, read the Staff Report regarding progress of the Comprehensive Plan Review noting both the residential and business : Mr. Link arrived at 8:50 P.M. Planning Commission Page 2 Minutes of the Meeting 23 October 1975 questionnaires had been tabulated and a report regarding those tabulations is available for the Commissions review. Some discussion ensued amongst Commissioners and Staff regarding the questions on the questionnaire. Issue was resolved in the acknowledgement the Commission had reviewed all questions during a work meeting in May 1975. .Mr. Satterstrom noted Committee Option Sheets had been mailed to all persons who had expressed an interest in participating, approximately 56, and suggested one of the Commissioners volunteer to chair the first committee, the Natural Environment Element. Mr. Zepp informed the Commission and Staff that he had recently informed Mayor Todd that he would be resigning from the Commission as of 1 January 1976. This was due to the amount of time he planned to be out of town the next year and felt any Commissioner should have the time to participate. Mr. Lamb noted he . had informed Mayor Todd that he had no desire to be reappointed due to his feeling that the Commission's time is Wasted in the sense those bodies considering their recommendations do not appreciate the Commission's input. After some discussion as to committee duties and meeting dates, Mr. Sneva volunteered to chair the Natural Environment element. Mr. Link volunteered to,chair the Commerce /Industry element. Mr. Satterstrom noted he would send a schedule of committee meeting dates along with the minutes to be mailed in about a week. NEW BUSINESS IV A - PUBLIC HEARING - Comprehensive Plan General Goals Mr. Crutchfield, Assistant Planner, stated the hearing had been advertised in the Renton paper. After some discussion as to the review process, the Commission suggested the ' City Council review each element as a committee -of- the -whole rather than a small committee composed of only a few council members. Chairman Mettler opened the public hearing at 9:15 P.M. The Commission offered no change to the Introduction section. The Commission discussed the intent of the second paragraph in the explanation of Genral.Goals on page 1, specifically the words "preserve and enhance ", Mr. Frank Kriedler, 14734 - 59th Avenue South, suggested striking the word preserve and the goal would stand alone while not indicating the environment should be "preserved" per se. Planning Commission Page 3 Minutes of the Meeting 23 October 1975 Mr. Lamb suggested replacing the words "preserve and enhance" with "manage ". The Commission agreed to change the first sentence to read: Each community is responsible for its environment. GENERAL GOALS #1: #2: #3: #4: #5: #6: #7: #8: NATURAL ENVIRONMENT #1: Considerable discussion ensued as to the intent & meaning of this goal.

Motion by•Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. Lamb and carried to adjourn the regular October meeting. 23 October 1975 AGENDA ITEM Iv A • • CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING COMMISSION • STAFF REPORT 8:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING - Comprehensive Plan General Goals FINDINGS 1. The last comprehensive plan (which was also the first) for the City of Tukwila was completed by. John Graham & Co. in 1962, prior to the tremendous commercial and industrial development which has characterized the Tukwila area over the past decade. Since 1962 the population of the City of Tukwila has doubled from about 1800 to approximately 3400. 3. Since 1962 over 1000 apartment units have been developed in Tukwila. Prior to 1962, no apartments existed within city limits. 4. Since 1962 two interstate freeways, I -5 and I -405, have bisected the Tukwila area, carrying thousands of vehicles to, from, and through the city each day. 5. Since 1962 the total amount of commercial /industrial floor space has increased 40 times from 198,000 square feet to over 8,000,000 square feet. 6. Since 1962 the assessed valuation of the City of Tukwila has increased from $1.8 million (25% valuation) to over,$246,000,000. (100%. valuation). 7. Since 1962 a host of state legislation has been enacted which pertains to land use, development, and environmental concerns (e.g.; Shoreline Management Act, State. Environmental Policy Act, and others). CONCLUSIONS 1. Because of the profound change which Tukwila has undergone in the last decade - and -a -half, the development policies of the 1962 Plan no longer reflect the concerns and attitudes of the present population. 2. Staff finds it difficult to make recommendations on applications for rezones, variances, and so forth due to the lack of information and direction on the part of the existing comprehensive plan. Planning Commission Staff Report Page 2 23 October 1975 3. By virtue of the 1975 Annual Budget, the. Tukwila City Council has . directed that a revision of the Comprehensive Plan be undertaken. . Resolution No. 489 passed by the City Council on August 4, 1975 establishing interim policies has necessitated the completion of a new comprehensive plan for. the City of Tukwila. 5. The Planning Commission has approved of a comprehensive planning process in which the establishment of General Goals is an important first step. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission adopt the Findings and Conclusions of the Staff Report, or as revised by the Commission, as the basis for and as part of its recommendation to the City Council that the'General Goals for the new Tukwila Comprehensive Plan be adopted so that the planning process may get underway. Frank Todd, Mayor CITY of TUKWILA 6230 SOUTHCENTER BLVD. TUKWI LA, WASHINGTON 98067 PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING COMMISSION Minutes of the Work Meeting, 9 October 1975. Chairman Mettler called the work meeting to order at 8:10 P.M. Members present were: Mr. Mettler, Mr. Sneva, Mr. West, Mr. Lamb and Mr. Zepp. Staff was represented by Mr. Stoknes, Mr. Satterstrom and Mr. Crutchfield. Mr. Stoknes distributed a draft memorandum addressed to the City Council regarding Resolution #489 as the Commission directed from the minutes of the regular meeting of September 25, 1975. The Commission discussed for some length the problems inherent in the Resolution and directed Staff to forward the memorandum to the City Council, to be placed on the City Council agenda in behalf of the Commission. Mr. Stoknes informed the. Commission of the Council action denying the Oldright rezone on the basis it did not conform to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. • After some discussion, the Commission agreed that rezone applications should not be considered until or unless they•are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Satterstrom distributed and explained the Comprehensive Plan Process Flow Chart describing the to be taken, procedures to be followed and the associated time frames in which to accomplish each task. Chairman Mettler expressed some concern regarding the time frames being adhered to, especially at the City Council level. Commission agreed that the time frames must be adhered to as strictly as possible. Unanimous concurrance by Commission to adhere to the process and time frames of the Flow Chart with the acknowledgement that Staff must impress each group of the need to adhere to the time frames. V Mr. Satterstrom distributed and explained the proposed general goals and element goals noting a Public Hearing is scheduled for the regular October meeting for adoption of these goals. v Planning Commission Minutes of the Work Meeting The work meeting ended at 10:30 P.M.

TRANSPORTATION /UTILITIES ELEMENT (to be completed in April) TABLE OF CONTENTS COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE MAP (to be adopted after all element plans are completed A METAMORPHOSIS When the last comprehensive plan (which was also the first) for Tukwila was completed by John Graham & Co., the City's population was about 1800, there• were no apartments, Southcenter, Andover Park, and the interstate freeways had not been built, and the assessed value of the City was not quite $2 million (25% valuation). This was in 1961. Today, less than a decade- and -a -half later, the population has doubled to 3500, there are over 1000 apartment units sprinkled throughout the City, over 8,000,000 square feet of commercial /industrial buildings cover the valley, two of the busiest freeways in the state bisect the town, and the assessed value of the City reaches to over $240 million (100% valuation). In addition to this change in outward appearance, Tukwila's attitude has changed also. Denser living patterns, loss of natural beauty, noise and other problems which commonly accompany development have sharpened the public's sensitivity to amenities, urban design, and public services. These types of concerns have be- come more important as the area has become more urban. As a result, the devel- opment policies which characterize the 1962 Plan do not accurately reflect the concerns of the present. 'Adopted by. Resolution0504 November 17,' 1975 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is manifold. In a phrase, the Plan "aids in the decision - making process of the City" by identifying major problem areas, establishing community goals on growth and development, providing staff with more direction in its everyday implementation of the City's laws and procedures. The essential characteristics of the Plan are that it is comprehensive, general and long- range. "Comprehensive" means that the plan encompasses all geographi- cal parts of the community and all functional elements — •like land use and transportation, for instance — which bear on physical development. "General" means that the Plan summarizes policies and proposals and does not indicate specific locations or detailed regulations. "Long- range" means that the Plan looks beyond the foreground of pressing current issues to the perspective of problems and possibilities many years hence. POLICY PLAN CONCEPT The Tukwila Comprehensive Plan is a "policy plan." Policy planning is of relatively recent vintage, culminating out of a retro- spective knowledge of what kinds of comprehensive plans collect dust and which are dog -eared documents vital to the community's decision- making process. "Dream plans" which depict through glorious words and pictures an ideal future townscape are only that — dreams. They seldom work. Plans based totally on standards which prescribe so much commercial, residential, and recreation space per so many people and treat every community alike, provide little usefulness. But, comprehensive plans that take into account the "uniqueness" of a place or community and supplement it with policies — or, official statements of intent written as working tools to guide decision making necessary to implementing the plan — have a great potential for success. A policy plan is considered to be dynamic, designed to be flexible and respon- sive to changing times and conditions. Historically, inflexible plans which defined a proposed end state have been abandoned as that community has evolved. There is no need to abondon the Comprehensive Plan every ten or twenty years if it is designed to change with the community. As the people and town change, so . should the policy plan. Adopted by Resolution #504 November 17,.1975 PLANNING PROCESS In order to make good apple pie, one not only needs the apples,but a good recipe as well. The same can be said of a comprehensive plan: How the policy plan is created is probably as important as the policies themselves. Hence, the Planning Process for the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan integrates citizen participation into the planning framework, thus ensuring that local needs and aspirations are reflected in the final document. • A flow chart illustrating the complete comprehensive planning process is included overleaf. Basically the process goes like this: 1. The Planning Commission and City Council adopt a set of goals for the Plan. 2. Planning Staff then utilizes these goals to prepare element plans for citizen review groups. 3. The citizen groups, in turn, review each element plan, one at a time. 4. Each element plan is then presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for adoption, one at a time. • 5. Finally, the maps are adopted and all elements are put together in one volume to form the Comprehensive Plan. Overall, the process as described represents a short -term work program that allows staff, citizens, commissioners and council to operate in a smooth and effective manner with a minimum of confusion. In addition, by providing a community base to the plan through citizen participation, the plans goals be- come realistic, its intent more representative, and its usefulness prolonged. Once the Comprehensive Plan has been adopted, the administration can begin a similar process for updating the implementing tools, such as the zoning ordinance, park plan, transportation and utilities plan, and s� forth. Other "single element plans" such as an annexation plan could also be undertaken upon direction of the City Council. iv. Adopted by Resolution #504.

After all elements have been adopted separately by the City Council, they are combined with the Land Use Nap and become the Comprehensive Plan for the Tukwila Planning Are.. Together these adopted elements and maps comprise the COMPREHENSIVE PLAN for Tukwila. TUKWILA PLANNING AREA The Tukwila Area is situated in west central King County in the Lower Green- Duwamish River Valley. Defined by such social factors as school district . boundaries and shopping patterns and such physical factors as topography and drainage, the Tukwila Planning Area extends generally from South 200th Street on the south to the Seattle Transmission line right -of -way, on the north, and from Highway 99 on the west to the Burlington Northern RR tracks on the east, (SEE, Map 1). Encompas a total area of approximately 10 spare miles, the Planning Area maintains an estimated 1975 population of 22,000. Focal point of the Planning Area is the City of Tukwila, with a 1975 population of 3400. In its simplest terms, the Tukwila Planning Area includes that area which through its people and geography is oriented to or has a close relationship to the City of Tukwila. The delineation of the Planning Area does not mean that all of this area should or will be annexed to the City; this is a matter to be determined in the future by city officials and the residents outside the present corporate limits. It does mean, however, that Tukwila maintains a broader relationship to its surrounding environment than its city limits would indicate, and also suggests that the policy decisions made by other agencies and jurisdictions within the Planning Area has a certain relationship and impact upon Tukwila. Resolution #500, passed by the City Council on October 20, 1975 adopted the area described above as the official Tukwila Planning Area. v .

Adopted b.y .: ResolUti:on #.504 November'. 17, ,1975 ; : ; GENERAL GOALS ■ WHAT ARE GOALS? Simply stated, a goal is a desirable quality which the community wants to achieve. Goals tend to be long -range and broad statements. They are not themselves actions, but a desired end or condition toward which community actions should be directed. ■ THE GOALS AND THE COMMUNITY... Each community is responsible for its environment. How the community chooses to approach this stewardship is its own decision. The goals which will be adopted by the City will represent Tukwila's approach toward maintaining its physical and social environment. It should be noted here that Comprehensive Plan goals do not remain the same forever, but are changed by the community as time goes on and as the community . itself changes. Adopted by Resolution #504 November 17? 1975 General Goals Below are the proposed general goals for the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan. They are broader in scope than the element goals listed on subsequent pages for they reflect a condition attainable only through the improvement of all elements, not just one. THE CITY SHOULD: Goal 1 Goal 2 Goal 3 Goal 4 Goal 5 ...THROUGH THE REGULATION OF LAND USE AND COMMUNITY GROWTH, PROMOTE THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND GENERAL WELFARE OF THE PUBLIC, ...ACHIEVE A BALANCE BETWEEN REGIONAL GOALS AND LOCAL ASPIRATIONS. TUKWILA IS UNIQUE, BOTH BECAUSE OF ITS PEOPLE AND GEOGRAPHY, BUT IS AT THE SAME TIME AN INSEPARABLE PART OF A LARGER REGION. TUKWILA'S POLICIES, WHILE REFLECTING THE ASPIRATIONS OF THE LOCAL CITIZENRY, SHOULD ALSO PROVIDE FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF REGIONAL GOALS. ...ENCOURAGE PLANNED EXPANSION OF THE CORPORATE BOUNDARIES OF TUKWILA WHILE PROVIDING ADEQUATE SERVICE LEVELS AND IMPROVEMENTS TO ALL AREAS WITHIN CORPORATE LIMITS. ...COORDINATE THE CITY'S PLANS AND PROGRAMS WITH THOSE OF • OTHER JURISDICTIONS. ...STRIKE A BALANCE BETWEEN ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT. WHILE THE CITY SHOULD ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT.AND STRIVE TO PROVIDE A HEALTHY ECONOMIC CLIMATE, IT SHOULD BE SENSITIVE TO THE NATURAL LIMITATIONS AND HAZARDS IMPOSED BY THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE TREMENDOUS NATURAL AMENITIES WHICH THAT ENVIRONMENT AFFORDS. 2 Adopted by Resolution 11504 November 17, 1975 Goal 6 Goal 7 Goal 8 COMMUNITY. ...ATTAIN A BALANCE IN THE LAND USE PATTERN OF THE ...PRESERVE HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL ELEMENTS IMPORTANT TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. ...STRIVE TO PROVIDE THE MOST EFFECTIVE SERVICE LEVEL NEEDED AS EFFICIENTLY AS PRACTICABLE. Adopted by Resolution #504 November 17.,.:1975 ELEMENT GOALS The_following goals are "element goals ". They too are long - range and broad statements but are more specific than General Goals because they relate to a single element of the Plan, like open space or commerce, for instance. Though element goals are narrower in scope, they too help to attain the . qualities expressed in the General Goals. Element goals are proposed here for five elements: (1) Natural Environment, (2) Open Space, (3) Residence, (4) Commerce /Industry, and (5) Transportation / Utilities. Policies for each of these elements will be developed by Staff and citizens within the framework established by these goals. Adopted. by Resolution #504 November 17 1975 1. Natural Environment goal 1 goal 2 goal 3 The Natural Environment element concerns the climate, geology, physiography, hydrology, wildlife, and vegetation of the Tukwila area. Just as a builder must consider the characteristics of his site, so must the City consider the natural capabilities and limitations of its environment to accommodate growth. As such, the Natural Environment element is probably the most basic element of the Plan, for it sets the stage on which development is established. GAUGE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LAND IN A MANNER SUITABLE TO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. USE AND PRESERVE THE NATURAL FEATURES AND RESOURCES OF THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT IN A WISE AND POSTERITY - ORIENTED MANNER. PROTECT AND ENHANCE THE NATURAL AMENITIES AND AESTHETIC RESOURCES OF THE TUKWILA AREA FOR THE PUBLIC'S WELFARE. Adopted by Resolution #504. November 17, 1975" E2. Open Space . The term "open space" is more comprehensive than that of mere recreation, and may be defined in a general way as any piece of uncovered land. Within this definition, trails, courtyards, streams, forests, parks, building set- back areas, and even undeveloped land provide some felling of openness. These open spaces can be publicly or privately owned. (It makes little difference if the wooded hillsides across the valley are public or private, as long as . they remain wooded and continue to provide visual relief.) In a rural setting, "open" space is a pervasive quality, one often taken for granted. As the walls of urbanizaiton close in, the need for open space becomes more noticeable and increasingly crucial. goal 1 goal 2 goal 3 CREATE AN INTEGRATED NETWORK OF OPEN SPACE BASED ON EXISTING AND PROPOSED RECREATIONAL AREAS, LANDS LEAST SUITABLE FOR OTHER DEVELOPMENT, AND THE NATURAL AMENITIES OF THE TUKWILA AREA. PROVIDE VIVID, DIVERSE OPEN SPACE EXPERIENCES WHICH FIT EASILY INTO THE PATTERN OF DAILY LIFE. PROVIDE MEANINGFUL RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL PEOPLE OF TUKWILA REGARDLESS OF SEX, AGE, COLOR, OR SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS. 6 Adopted by Resolution #504 November 17., 1975 3. Residence This element looks at the living environment of the Tukwila area. This environment includes the single - family residential areas and apartment areas, and addresses the housing within both of these districts. goal 1 goal 2 goal 3 PRESERVE THE PLEASANTNESS AND INTEGRITY OF VIABLE SINGLE- FAMILY AREAS. WHILE PROTECTING THE SINGLE - FAMILY AREAS OF TUKWILA, PROVIDE ADEQUATE ROOM FOR MULTIPLE - DWELLINGS. ASSURE AN ADEQUATE AND DIVERSIFIED HOUSING SUPPLY.WITHIN.THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY. goal 1 goal 2 goal 3 4. Commerce /Industry This element deals with the working environment which includes commercial, industrial, and agricultural land use. These activities form the economic . lifeblood of Tukwila, generating employment and revenue within the City and manufactured goods which are traded to industries as far away as the North Slope in Alaska. ASSURE HEALTHY ECONOMIC GROWTH THROUGH INCREASED EMPLOYMENT, DIVERSIFICATION, AND STRENGTHENING OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY. ASSURE A HEALTHY PACE OF ECONOMIC GROWTH CONSISTENT WITH THE CITYS ABILITY TO PROVIDE NECESSARY SERVICES.. HELP ESTABLISH A SOCIOECONOMIC CLIMATE WHICH DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST CERTAIN LAND USES BUT STRIVES TO PROMOTE .A DIVERSITY OF LAND USE. Adopted by Resolution #504 November. 17 .1925 5. TRANSPORTATION / UTILITIES This element deals with the community's infrastructure, or its public services and facilities such as roads, railroads, sidewalks, telephone, power, cable, and water and sewer utilities. These services and facilities serve as the backbone upon which the growth and continuance of the community depend. goal 7 PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM CAPABLE OF MOVING PEOPLE AND GOODS IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH COMPATIBLE LAND USE PATTERNS. goal 2 PROVIDE FOR A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM WHICH INCLUDES ALL FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION MODES. goal 3 ASSURE A PUBLIC SERVICE LEVEL CONSISTENT WITH THE NEEDS AND DESIRES OF THE COMMUNITY. goal 4 PROVIDE FOR EXTENSION OF WATER AND SEWER UTILITIES CONSISTENT WITH LOCAL GROWTH. . Adopted by Resolution #504 November; 17 .. 1Q75 C A METAMORPHOSIS When the last comprehensive plan (which was also the first) for Tukwila was completed by John Graham $ Co., the City's population was about 1800, there were no apartments, Southcenter, Andover Park, and the interstate freeways had not been built, and the assessed value of the City was not quite $2 million (25% valuation). This was in 1961. Today, less than a decade - and -a -half later, the population has doubled to 3500, there are over 1000 apartment units sprinkled throughout the City, over 8,000,000 square feet of commercial /industrial buildings cover the valley, two of the busiest freeways in the state bisect the town, and the assessed value of the City reaches to over'$240 million (100% valuation). In addition to this change in outward appearance, Tukwila's attitude has changed also. Denser living patterns, loss of natural beauty, noise and other problems . which commonly accompany development have sharpened the public's sensitivity to amenities, urban design, and public services. These types of concerns have be- come more important as the area has become more urban. As a result, the devel- opment policies which characterize the 1962 Plan do not accurately reflect the concerns of the present. . 7.2-/-75 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is manifold. In a phrase, the Plan "aids in the decision - making process of the City" by identifying major problem areas, establishing community goals on growth and development, providing staff with more direction in its everyday implementation of the City's laws and procedures. The essential characteristics of the Plan are that it is comprehensive, general and long- range. "Comprehensive" means that the plan encompasses all geographi- cal parts of the community and all functional elements — .like land use and transportation, for instance — which bear on physical development. "General" means that the Plan summarizes policies and proposals and does not indicate specific locations or detailed regulations. "Long- range" means that the Plan looks beyond the foreground of pressing current issues to the perspective of problems and possibilities many years hence. POLICY PLAN CONCEPT The Tukwila Comprehensive Plan is a "policy plan." Policy planning is of relatively recent vintage, culminating out of a retro- spective knowledge of what kinds of comprehensive plans collect dust and which are dog -eared documents vital to the community's decision- making process. "Dream plans" which depict through glorious words and pictures an ideal future townscape are only that — dreams. They seldom work. Plans based totally on standards which prescribe so much commercial, residential, and recreation space per so many people and treat every community alike, provide little usefulness. But, comprehensive plans that take into account the "uniqueness" of a place or community and supplement it with policies — or, official statements of intent written as working tools to guide decision making necessary to implementing the plan — have a great potential for success. A policy plan is considered to be dynamic, designed to be flexible and respon- sive.to changing times and conditions. Historically, inflexible plans which defined a proposed end state have been abandoned as that community has evolved. There is rio need to the Comprehensive Plan every ten or twenty years if it is designed to change with the community. As the people and town change, so should the policy plan. PLANNING PROCESS In order to make good apple pie, one not only needs the apples but a good recipe as well. The same can be said of a comprehensive plan. How the policy plan is created is probably as important as the policies themselves. Hence, the Planning Process for the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan integrates citizen participation into the planning framework, thus ensuring that local needs and aspirations are reflected in the final document. A flow chart illustrating the complete comprehensive planning process is included overleaf. Basically the process goes like this: 1. The Planning Commission and City Council adopt a set of goals for the Plan. 2. Planning Staff then utilizes these goals to prepare element plans . for citizen review groups. 3. The citizen groups, in turn, review each element plan, one at a time. 4. Each element plan is then presented to the Planning Commission and ' City Council for adoption, one at a time. S. Finally, the maps are adopted and all elements are put together in one volume to form the Comprehensive. Plan. Overall, the process as described represents a short -term work program that allows staff, citizens, commissioners and council to operate in a smooth and effective manner with a minimum of confusion. In addition, by providing a community base to the plan through citizen participation, the plans goals be- come realistic, its intent more representative, and its usefulness prolonged. Once the Comprehensive Plan has been adopted, the administration can begin a similar process for updating the implementing tools, such. as the zoning ordinance, park plan, transportation and utilities plan, and so forth. Other "single element plans" such as an annexation plan could also be undertaken upon direction of the City Council. iv.

TUKWILA PLANNING AREA The Tukwila Area is situated in west central King County in the Lower Green - Duwamish River Valley. Defined by such social factors as school district boundaries and shopping patterns and such physical factors as topography and drainage, the Tukwila Planning Area extends generally from South 200th Street on the south to the Seattle Transmission line right -of -way, on the north, and from Highway 99 on the west to the Burlington Northern RR tracks on the east, (SEE, Map 1). Encompas a total area of approximately 10 spare tiles, the Planning Area maintains an estimated 1975 population of 22,000. Focal point of the Planning Area is the City of Tukwila, with a 1975 population of 3400. In its simplest terms, the Tukwila Planning Area includes that area which through its people and geography is oriented to or has .a close relationship to the City of Tukwila.

Baugh Tukwila City Council Tukwila Planning Director-"' Tukwila, Washington 98188 Dear Tukwila City Officials: By my enclosed letters dated January 15, 1976 and January 19, 1976, I suggested that the new City Comprehensive Plan incor- porate the following objectives phrased slightly differently: 1. Not to create a public nuisance for private property owners. 2. No interference with private property rights of landowners. 3. When it occurs, City acquisition of easements, title, or other control over private property through purchase, tax incentives, or zoning changes with the voluntary consent and support of private landowners and without undue pressure by government representatives or public officials. At the public city council meeting January 19, 1976, the members of the council expressed general concurrence with these objectives and suggested that they should properly be incorporated into the general objectives of the overall Comprehensive Plan, rather than only one of the elements. The reason for incorporating these 3 points into the Comprehensive Plan is to insure that, as a protection to both the City of Tukwila and private property owners, private property rights are not taken away or encumbered by the Comprehensive .Plan . and that unnecessary legal actions are thereby avoided: Thank you for considering this input for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan.

Fred Satterstrom, Associate Planner for Tukwila, responded to my January 15, 1976 letter and suggestions indicating that the Open Space Element will be revised to "waylay the type of fears" I expressed to the Planning Director. However, since the City Council is taking action on the Environmental Element tonight, I feel that it would be in the best interest of the citizens and landowners of Tukwila if the following objectives were included in the Open Space Element as adopted: 1) Not to create a public nuisance for private property owners. 2) No interference with private property rights of landowners. 3) Acquisition of easements, title, or other control over private property through purchase, tax incentives, or zoning changes with the voluntary consent and support of private landowners and without intimidation by government representatives or public officials. From discussions in the last City Council meeting and from Fred Satterstrom's letter, it appears that these objectives are not contradictory to the other excellent objectives of the Environ- mental Element and the Open Space Element to the Comprehensive Plan.

If a statement to the effect of 1, 2, and 3 above were incor- porated as an objective of the Open Space Element (and as an objective of the Environmental Element), .I think the would be taking an important progressive step toward incorporating protection of the individual property rights of landowners into generally meritorious environmental and open space objectives. Much of the oposition of private landowners to these elements 1s, I believe, due to the fear of public con- fiscation of private property rights, and a statement such as 1, 2, and 3 above whould alleviate much of that fear.

Parker vs. City of Tukwila - Complaint for legal fees Letter - Frank Todd request for recon- sideration of rezone Notice of Metro meeting - Tukwila Route 145 adjust- ment OLD BUSINESS Community center location Councilman Johanson asked if the complaint had been filed. Attorney Parker replied no. Councilman Jo- hanson stated in discussion of the Finance & Personnel Committee, there was a majority vote recognizing the legality of the fees owed to the City Attorney for LID #19 although we feel the fees are excessive. There was some question also as to the break away point on the other LIDs coming up and Councilman Johanson expressed his opinion that the Council should obtain some legal advice in conjunction with the current ordinance. Council President Traynor stated the fees owed for LID #19 were approved with the other bills under voucher approval. Mayor Todd excused himself from the Council table to join the audience. Council President Traynor read a letter to the City Council from Frank Todd dated November 6, 1975 requesting Council reconsideration of the Todd rezone request and presenting facts in, support of R -4 zoning. Councilwoman Harris stated at the November 13 agenda meeting, it was determined that a majority of the Council would have to vote in favor of reconsidering the rezone request. MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL NOT RECONSIDER THE REZONE REQUEST OF FRANK TODD. CARRIED. Mayor Todd resumed the chair. Mayor Todd announced a Metro- sponsored meeting to be held at the Tukwila Elementary School at 7:30 P.M. on November 18, 1975 for the purpose of discussing possible route change for Route 145- Kent /Southcenter/ Tukwila. Steve Hall, Public Works Director, displayed an overhead map of the proposed route change: Councilwoman Harris, Chairwoman of the Community Affairs Committee, stated the McAbee property at 53rd Ave. and 144th St. has been considered for quite some time as a desirable location for a com- munity affairs center. The property was suggested by the Planning Commission as part of their capital improvement project list and the Park Board has endorsed this location. Funds are available in the 1975 budget in the Land Acquisition, Building & Development Fund. Councilwoman Harris reviewed the advantages of the location. She stated the possibil- ity of having a public hearing before the City Council regarding this acquisition was discussed in Committee but it was noted that there have been public hearings held before the Planning Commission, Park Board meet- ings, Council budget hearings and committee meetings during 1974 -75. The Committee recommends that the administration and the City Attorney be directed to initiate efforts to acquire the McAbee property. Mayor Todd stated there are two occupied dwellings on the property which may involve the City in condem- nation and relocation expenses. Mrs. Phyllis Pesicka stated the citizens are concerned with preserving open space areas and there are not ' many left to preserve. She stated she would like the Council to seriously consider this acquisition. Mr. Vern Phifer asked if anyone had any idea of the amount of fill it would take to condition that pro- perty for a community center.

Councilwoman Harris stated the data regarding fill is available in the acquisition costs that were developed by the Planning Commission two years ago. Councilman Saul arrived at the meeting at 7:42 P.M. Councilwoman Harris stated it is proposed to leave the pond area as it is and to construct the center in the vicinity of the now existing structures: The urgency here is to acquire it with development to later follow. Mr. George Hill stated if the pond area and black- berry vines remain, there will be many upset citizen: at City Hall in the summer complaining about all the mosquitoes that breed in that area. Councilwoman Harris stated once the City owns the property, we should be able to get some cooperation from the King County Health Dept. for pest control. Mr. Hill state he was not speaking against the property being acqui ed, but he was opposed to leaving it in its natural state. MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY'SAUL, TO REQUEST A PUBLIC HEARING DATE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL SET IN THE PROPER MANNER REGARDING THE McABEE PROPERTY AS A COMMUNITY CENTER.* The merits of holding another public hearing were discussed. Mr. Burton Lutes stated there is no reas to delay any longer -- let's get with it and buy it. Kjell Stoknes, Planning Director, stated the Compre- hensive Park Plan is currently in the process of bei revised and he recommended the Council delete any specific reference to proposed use until the Plan is revised and adopted. Mr. Hill stated he could not see the City purchasing property without any specific use identified. Mrs. Anna Bernhard stated she did not feel that was necessarily true and that the citizens are concerned with preserving green and open space such as the McAbee property for any use. Mrs. Phyllis Pesicka stated the City Council passed the 1975 budget a year ago with this purchase in min and there were no objections from anyone at that tim Mr. Hill stated he did not like the feeling he has that the City may be buying property on speculation. If the City has the need, buy the property. Council man Sterling agreed, stating that is why the plan ha developed the way it has. The Park Board made the recommendation and the City has the need for the pro perty and its intended use. Councilman Saul asked about the price and the amount of property to be purchased. Mayor Todd stated we do not know at this time whether this will be a frie ly transaction or whether it will be a condemnation. Councilwoman Harris stated the Committee added up th tax figures which totalled about $110,000 but with sales tax and inflation, the cost should not exceed $160,000. Council President Traynor stated if the Council wishes to start toward this acquisition, the they should turn down the motion on the. floor. He stated he was in favor of the acquisition. FAILED.

MOVED BY SAUL, SECONDED BY STERLING, TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO OBTAIN AN APPRAISAL FOR THE PROPERTY AS DES- CRIBED IN STEVE HALL'S REPORT DATED AUGUST 14, 1975. CARRIED. Mayor Todd read a letter from Grace Van Horn dated November 6, 1975 explaining the Rape Line Project and requesting financial assistance from five cities in South King County (Auburn, Kent, Renton, Tukwila and Bellevue). Mayor Todd stated he supported this service for the City of Tukwila and its female citi- zens. Council President Traynor stated this subject will be considered during the budget deliberations. Councilwoman Harris stated the minutes of the November 5 Community Affairs Committee meeting do not reflect any of the discussion of this subject but she would report on the Committee's recommendation. The Com- mittee discussed the probability of annexing the entire area from Interurban Avenue to I -5 on the west and So. 53rd Ave. to the south which includes the Gjerde property, the annexation to be considered this evening. It also includes the South Central play- . field which the City now serves. The County has re- ceived rezone requests from this area but they have been denied. It is not a logical area for the County to serve. The Committee recommended that the City Council authorize the Planning Department to get data regarding the residents, total area, etc. in order that the City Council may initiate annexation procedures by resolution of the entire area. Mr. Ron Mettler stated the City may as well take in the point on the other side of Interurban Ave along the Green River. Mr. George Hill stated he thought third class cities were limited as to the amount of land they could annex at any one time; he believed it was 10 acres. Councilwoman Davis stated a few years ago, the citi- zens on the point were hostile toward annexing to the City. Mr. Mettler stated the City now has many more services to offer and he suggested some of the gripes then are now past. The area is logical expansion for the City. Mr. Fred Shepard, referring to the area west of Inter- urban, stated there were four or five people who had a gripe against the City about 20 years ago and no- thing will change their mind even at this date. He stated he felt it would be good for the area since it is isolated from the County now and he would do anything he could to help the annexation along.

Councilwoman Harris reported the Community Affairs Committee minutes discussion and stated the ordinanc was amended in its title to indicate the location of the property. There was some concern as to how the property will be used since there is no rezone reque included. If no rezone is requested, the City has t option to initiate a rezone for the health, safety a welfare of the community with due process of public hearings, etc. She stated the Committee suggested after the revised Comprehensive Plan map is adopted by the City Council, that the City consider initiati a rezone to make it an appropriate land use classifi cation. Mrs. Hazel Gjerde asked to what classificat the City would rezone the property. Mayor Todd stat the City Council would consider a petition for rezon from Mrs. Gjerde or they would initiate the rezone but there seems to be room for agreement here betwee the Council and Mrs. Gjerde.

He estimated there was $2,000 left of the funds the Council allocated for the Bicentennial cabin. Mr. Burton Lutes stated he estimated less than that since expenses to date in- clude the logs, lumber for the roof, preservatives and stain, mortar for the fireplace and fire brick and a damper. Councilman Saul stated the cost of the mailing will be about $40. Mrs. Elanor McLester stated she believed the cost would exceed $40 for first class mail. She requeste a change in the Park Department's addressograph list also since citizens in her area are in Water District #75 and are not included in the utility billing whir} was used to set up the mailing list. Councilwoman Harris stated the Revenue Sharing funds were allocated for the purpose of constructing the log cabin and those related improvements. She state( she did not feel comfortable with using these funds for mailing and printing.

TO: FROM: MEMORANDUM CITY of TUKWILA PLANNING DEPARTMENT Honorable Mayor and City Council � Kjell Stoknes, Planning Directory Fred Satterstrom, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Update. DATE: 28 Oct. 1975 This first phase of the update of Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan deals only with the adoption of the Introduction and General Goals. As you can see by the directive in the proposed resolution and the Comprehensive Plan Flow Chart, the other parts will follow. The Introduction and General Goals have been reviewed thoroughly by the Planning Commission at a public hearing held as required by RCW 35.63.100. and are recommended to you for adoption. The Introduction and General Goals are already placed in the blue 3 -ring binder which has been given to you. This workbook should be added to as additional sections are passed by the Commission. Supportive information to aid in your deliberation are attached to this memorandum, as follows: 1. Proposed adopting resolution. 2. Environmental Resume reviewing the impact of the General Goals. 3. Residential Questionnaire results. 4. Business Questiomaire results. I apologize for submitting this to the Council at such a busy time. No additional items relating to Comprehensive Planning will be submitted to the City Council until after the end of the 1975 budget year. • Nevertheless, the consideration and adoption of General Goals by the City.

Per proposed WAC -10 -120 (2):.. ENVIRONMENTAL RESUME' ON THE PRELIMINARY CO°IPREHENSIVE PLAN • GENERAL GOALS (DRAFT NO. 1) 1. Define the objective sought to be achieved by the development of the plan or program. The objective should be stated to allow the widest range of implementing strategies. COMMENT: The objective of• the proposed'general goals is to state a desired condition for the entire community. 2. Develop information concerning the existing conditions within every •. element.of the environment likely to be affected by implementation of the plan or program. COMMENT: In order to avoid redundancy, information on existing conditions can be found in the document' entitled: Tukwila Planning Area: Data Inventory. This document has been given to planning commissioners, and copies may be purchased . or loaned from the city. It should be emphasized that the proposed goals are very general and not implementable with- out further refinement. 3. Identify the significant impacts that implementation of the plan or. • program may have upon the environment.. COMMENT: One planned outcome of the plan is to mitigate any signifi- cant impacts on the.environment and hence. there should be none. Due to the very general nature of the goals proposed, more specific future legislation would have to•be passed prior to being able to identify any significant, environmental impacts. 4. Identify and consider a range of reasonable alternatives and method of mitigating adverse impacts resulting from implementation. COMMENT.: The goals proposed is a generally accepted way to initiate a comprehensive planning effort. One definite alternative is not to update the comprehensive plan, however other alternatives will be discussed through the.public partici- pation if the subject is introduced. Since no adverse impacts are anticipated, development of alternatives for . their mitigation is not applicable. 5. Identify other reasonable methods of reaching the defined objective which may be outside the agency's jurisdiction and authority. COMMENT: The City could contract with a private consultant firm or other governmental agency willing and able to undertake the task of updating the city's comprehensive plan. 6. Redefine the objective of the plan in view of predicted impacts. COMMENT: Based upon no projected impacts, the original objective in item 1 above stands unchanged. . If applicable, consider alternative uses of resources, as well as retaining,such resources for future generations. COMMENT: The proposed goals are so general at this time that these concerns cannot be anticipated, except to say they will be considered along the way on all future planning programs. 8. Consider environmental amenities and values as early as possible in the planning process as well as throughout the process. COMMENT: This will be done.
