Findings and Conclusions File L14-0049 Exhibit 1
ZONING AMENDMENT CRITERIA (TMC 18.84.030)
Each determination granting a rezone shall be supported by written findings and
conclusions showing specifically wherein all of the following conditions exist:
(1) That the proposed amendment to the zoning map is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan;
The proposed change to HI with a TSO would match the zoning and comprehensive plan
designations of the adjacent properties to the south. While no immediate change is
proposed or expected to the existing development on site the parcels could be part of future
redevelopment envisioned under the Tukwila South Master Plan. The Tukwila South
Element of the Comprehensive Plan is currently under review to bring it up to date with the
Tukwila South annexation, Development Agreement, Tukwila South Master Plan and
Sensitive Area Master Plan.
(2) That the proposed amendment to the zoning map is consistent with the scope and
purpose of this title and the description and purpose of the zone classification
applied for;
The two affected properties would shift to the adjacent HI district and remain covered by the
Tukwila South Overlay. The existing uses on site would continue to be permitted under the
proposed zoning and no non-conformities would be created. Per TMC 18.41.010 "As an
overlay district the Tukwila South Overlay (TSO) may be applied by the City Council to any
property lying within the Comprehensive Plan's Tukwila South Master Plan Area." The
parcels are included in the Master Plan Area per Ordinance 2233.
(3) That there are changed conditions since the previous zoning became effective to
warrant the proposed amendment to the zoning map; and
The Southcenter Plan and revised TUC Zoning Districts were adopted by the Council in
February of 2014. At the property owner's request the two subject properties had not been
included in the Southcenter Plan, therefore the parcels are not within the new Zoning
district and are not subject to the revised TUC subdistrict zoning regulations. The existing
TSO supersedes the underlying zoning district, but an underlying zone is still needed in
case the overlay was ever removed.
(4) That the proposed amendment to the zoning map will be in the interest of
furtherance of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare,
and will not adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood, nor be injurious to other
properties in the vicinity in which the subject property is located.
The proposed change to HI with a TSO would resolve an inconsistency in the Zoning Map for two
properties that have TUC zoning but are not regulated under the Southcenter Plan and TUC
subdistrict regulations. No change of use, additional construction or intensification is proposed as
part of this rezone.
CONCLUSIONS
(1) That the proposed amendment to the zoning map is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan;
The proposed change to HI with a TSO would facilitate redevelopment consistent with that
envisioned under the Tukwila South Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The parcels are
included in the Tukwila South Master Plan Area per Ordinance 2233.
(2) That the proposed amendment to the zoning map is consistent with the scope and
purpose of this title and the description and purpose of the zone classification
applied for;
The two affected properties would shift to the adjacent HI district and remain covered by the
Tukwila South Overlay. The existing uses on site would continue to be permitted under the
proposed zoning and no non-conformities would be created.
(3) That there are changed conditions since the previous zoning became effective to
warrant the proposed amendment to the zoning map; and
When the Southcenter Plan and revised TUC Zoning Districts were adopted the two
subject properties were left without underlying zoning. While the existing TSO supersedes
the underlying zoning district an underlying zone is still needed in case the overlay was
ever removed.
(4) That the proposed amendment to the zoning map will be in the interest of
furtherance of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare,
and will not adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood, nor be injurious to other
properties in the vicinity in which the subject property is located.
No change of use, additional construction or intensification is proposed as part of this rezone,
There should be no external indications of a change and so no adverse effects.
