COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CRITERIA
(1) Is the issue already adequately addressed in the Comprehensive Plan? If the issue is not addressed in the
Comprehensive Plan, is there a public need for the proposed change?
The need for the proposed change was created when 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.
While the existing TSO supersedes the underlying zoning district an underlying zone is still
needed in case the overlay was ever removed. The proposed change to HI would match
the zoning and comprehensive plan designations of the adjacent properties to the south.
The proposed change to the Comprehensive Plan designation is needed to retain
consistency with the Zoning Map.
(2) Is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public need?
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. The parcels are included in the Master Plan
Area per Ordinance 2233. The proposed change of these parcels to HI would match the
zoning and comprehensive plan designations of the adjacent properties to the south. The
existing uses on site would continue to be permitted under the proposed zoning and no
non-conformities would be created.
(3) Will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community?
The two affected properties would shift to the adjacent HI designation. The proposed change would
resolve an inconsistency in the Zoning and Comprehensive Land Use Maps for two properties that
have TUC designations but are not regulated under the Southcenter Plan and TUC subdistrict
regulations. 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.
CONCLUSIONS
(1) Is the issue already adequately addressed in the Comprehensive Plan? If the issue is not addressed in the
Comprehensive Plan, is there a public need for the proposed change?
The proposed change to the Comprehensive Plan designation is needed to retain
consistency with the Zoning Map. The need for the proposed change was created when the
Southcenter Plan and revised TUC Zoning Districts were adopted by the Council in
February of 2014. The parcels are not within the new TUC Zoning district and are not
subject to the revised TUC subdistrict zoning regulations. The proposed change to HI
would match the zoning and comprehensive plan designations of the adjacent properties to
the south.
(2) Is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public need?
The rezone and redesignation of these parcels is being done in concert with the update of
the Tukwila South Element of the Comprehensive Plan which 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. The proposed change of these parcels
to HI would match the zoning and comprehensive plan designations of the adjacent
properties to the south. The existing uses on site would continue to be permitted under the
proposed zoning and no non-conformities would be created.
(3) Will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community?
The proposed change to the adjacent HI district would resolve an inconsistency in the Zoning and
Comprehensive Land Use Maps for two properties that have TUC designations but are not
regulated under the Southcenter Plan and TUC subdistrict regulations. 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.
