Dear Mr. Ketchan:
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
RE: Your request for a waiver for a rezone
•
Very truly yours,
k
Kj 11 Stoknes
Director, Department of Community Development and Planning
3•,
The Tukwila City Council considered your request for a waiver for rezoning
the property adjacent to and east of the San Juan Apartments at a Committee-
of-the-Whole Meeting on June 14, 1976.
After some discussion on the matter, it was their decision to deny your waiver
request in order to allow the Comprehensive Planning Process to take its course
in determining the future desirable land use for this area.
Resolution #489, which required this waiver request by you in order to apply for
a rezone, will come before the Tukwila City Council for review during their
regular Council Meeting of July 6, 1976. At that time they will decide whether
to keep the Resolution in force or to nullify it.

REQUEST: Request for waiver to resolution 489 for rezone
PETITIONER: San Jaun South Apartments (Henry Ketcham Jr.)
PROPERTY 6210 South 153rd Street
LOCATION:
CITY OF TUKWILA
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
The applicant is requesting a waiver to resolution 489 allowing him to
apply for a rezone on the referenced property from R -1 -12.0 (Single - family)
to R -3 (Duplexes, tri- plexes and four- plexes). This requires Council
action waiving subsection 4.A of resolution 489.
The procedures of resolution 489 requires Planning Department analysis of
four items. They are as follows:
1. Is the proposed action consistent with the presently emerging
Land Use Policy Plan?
STAFF COMMENTS: The proposed rezone to R -3 would basically be
consistent with the emerging Comprehensive Plan, with the excep-
tion that the emerging land use plan recommends a maximum of 16
units per acre for this area. The R -3 zone, without any density
restrictions, would allow up to 18 units per acre.
2. Does the proposed action represent a unique condition which is
insignificant in scale and to which no other apparent alterna-
tives are reasonable?
STAFF COMMENTS: The proposed action cannot be said to have a unique
condition, since the same type of request could very well come from
any property in the vicinity to the north or the east. Although it
may not be a unique condition, the scale of the proposal if developed
within the criteria of 16 units per acre could not be said to be
significant in scale.
3. If the request for waivers involves grading, excavation, filling or
development in geographical areas identified as having potential
natural limitations for development, are mitigating measures provided?
STAFF COMMENTS: The property is not located in a area which has been
identified as having potential natural limitation to development.

4. Do the requirements contained in Resolution No. 489 impose a special
hardship to a site for which a waiver of the provisions would not
necessitate a major policy commitment prior to the adoption of the
Land Use Policy Plan?
STAFF COMMENTS: The major policy commitment that could be made by
this action would be allowing up to 18 units per acre in four- plexes
for this property. The property to the west and adjacent to this
site already has been developed in a similar manner with 16.6 units
per acre. If a rezone to R -3 is given with a limitation that no
more than 16 units per acre be allowed, consistent with the emerging
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, than it does not appear to staff that
the allowance of such a rezone would have a major policy commitment
prior to the adoption of the Land Use Plan Update. It would, however,
provide an incremental increase to the concept that some multiple -
family development should occur north of South 153rd Street.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is not concerned about any major policy commitments that a waiver to this
rezone request would create. However, staff is concerned that the Planning
Commission be allowed adequate time in dealing with the public hearing on the
emerging land use map which it is presently involved in. For this reason,
Staff recommends that the City Council grant this waiver request for a rezone,
but that the Staff and applicant clearly understand that the actual rezone
request is not to appear in a public hearing or for informational purposes
before the Tukwila Planning Commission until they have .made their land use .
map recommendations on the Comprehensive Plan to the Tukwila City Council.
This recommendation allows more time for the Planning Commission to deal with
the Comprehensive Planning Process they are presently involved in so they can
concentrate more on the long range planning matters at this time, rather than
being involved in the more short -term planning items and being distracted by
them.

RESOLUTION I•IO.
1. B e recedent setting.
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of
Tukwila acknowledging that the Comprehensive Plan
for the City of Tdkwila no longer reflects currently
held values of the community in regard to planning
and land use development; recognizing the necessity
of establishing a new land use policy plan or
comprehensive plan; and declaring a proposed interim
policy.
WHEREAS, EAS, the comprehensive plan still in existence for the City of Tukwila
was adopted prior to the enactment of the Washington State Environmental Policy
Act and City of Tukwila Ordinance No. 759 relating to environmental policy, and;
WHEREAS, it is clear that the comprehensive plan for the City of Tukwila no
longer entirely reflects currently held values of the community, its legislative
body or the currently recognized state of the art of planning and community
development, and
WHEREAS, it is necessary, as well as required, by the State Environmental Policy
Act to review the land use plans and planning processes of the City of Tukwila to
assure that the land use plan, its goals and policies are consistent with the mandate
of the Environmental Policy Act and the currently held values of the total community;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Tukwila City Council as. follows:
Section 1: The City Council finds that the present comprehensive plan which
indicates public land use policy is no longer adequate to provide guidance for future
decision making and land use management.

clearly established goals and objectives for community development, nor is there •
present consensus or understanding about the consequences of development actions •
based on such plan.
Section 3: The City Council directs that all segments of the city, includ-
ing the City Council, its advisory bodies and the administration work together toward
the identification and establishment of goals and policies consistent with the environ -
mental mandate contained in the Environmental Policy Act, and with the currently held
values of the community in order that a new land use plan may be prepared and adopted
for the City of Tukwila.
Section 4: The City Council further declares that until such time as a new
land use policy plan can be prepared and adopted, the following actions are found to
be those which current land use do not adequately address with standards and
criteria. There is not sufficient understanding and consensus of the consequences of
such actions upon present community values and future goals and resources. Therefore
the City Council directs that no application requesting a ,iy of the following actions
shall be accepted or processed by the City unt8l completion and adoption of a new
land use policy plan:
A. Any rezone application, except a rezone from one single family

•
D. Proposa =a° for grading, clearing, e_:.ca ,.-aon or filling which tee: •
1. Located in an area with average slopes in excess of 25;1.
