Rants, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director Mr. Edward Lin 14110 Tukwila International Boulevard Tukwila, WA 98168 June 1, 1999 Dear Mr. Lin: Per a December 21, 1998 letter from Albert Lin, the City of Tukwila agreed to hold the application fee . for processing your recent applications for Comprehensive Plan Amendment COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT and Zoning Code amendment (L98 -0098 and L98- 0099), and review the number of hours spent on the project for a potential pro -rated refund of the $1,400 processing fee. On April 19, 1999, the Tukwila City Council voted to reject the applications and to discontinue consideration of the proposals. Staff review of the time spent on the projects showed an expenditure of $1,554.86. This is $154 in excess of the $1,400 fee, and will not result in a refund. Sincerely, Steve Lancaster Director 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 431-3670 • Fax (206) 431 -3665 To: From: Subj: Date: City of Tukwila • John W. Rants, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director Mayor Rants Steve Lancaster Recommendations on Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments April 13, 1999 The following are recommendations on the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments based on a review of the issues and findings. L98 -0098 Ben Carol Motel Request: The application requests changing an NCC Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designation to RC to permit hotel redevelopment at 14110 Tukwila International Boulevard. Issues: The existing motel is a non - conforming use that cannot make significant improvements due to its non - conforming status. It is located within an NCC — Neighborhood Commercial Center, and is adjacent to a Commercial Redevelopment Area. This entire area is intended for neighborhood, pedestrian- oriented uses. Changing the property's designation to RC-- Regional Center would create a permanent, permitted "island" of higher intensity, more automobile - oriented uses. This is inconsistent with long-term plans for the area's redevelopment. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the request be denied. L98 -0103 (Comprehensive Plan Amendment Process) Request: The application requests revising the existing Comprehensive Plan policies on processing Comprehensive Plan amendments to make them consistent with TMC 18.80 (Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulations). Issues: In November, 1998 the City Council adopted Ordinance # 1856 in order to clarify and simplify the procedure for evaluating and processing proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan each year. These policies are codified in TMC 18.80 Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulations. Proposed amendment L98- 0103 modifies existing Plan policies to reflect the procedural changes that have already been made in TMC 18.80. This amendment is "housekeeping" in nature. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard Sulte #100 • mac, citatra gt0n" 941,$4 ! i Recommendation: Staff recommends referring the amendment to the Planning Commission. L98 -0104 (Shoreline Management Program) Request: The application seeks a Comprehensive Plan amendment to accommodate potential policy changes which may be needed as a result of preparing a new Shoreline Management Program to replace the 1974 Program. Issues: Tukwila's current Comprehensive Plan policies call for a new Shoreline Management Program. A new Program will reflect current conditions and regulations, while establishing an updated framework for the future of the shoreline. Recommendation: Staff recommends referring the proposed amendment to the Planning Commission. • ebecca ox - internetq From: Gina Smith To: Rebecca Fox Date: 4/12/99 10:29AM Subject: internetq From: "tedimi @worldnet.att.net" <TEDIMI @woridnet.att.net> To: <rfox @ci.tukwila.wa.us> Subject: Ben Carol Motel Date: Sun, 11 Apr 1999 18:22:22 -0700 X- MSMaiI- Priority: Normal X- MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Page 1 We live on 42nd ave so., one block north of the Ben Carol Motel.

E- _. Located at 14110 Pacific Highway South, the Ben -Carol motel is currently a legal, non- z '- conforming use in the Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) zone. As a non- z conforming use, the motel use can continue subject to its not being "enlarged, intensified, =, increased or extended to occupy a greater use of the land, structure or a combination of 8 the two." (Attachment B) 'o w. The NCC zone in which the Ben -Carol Motel is located is intended to "provide for �; pedestrian- friendly areas characterized and scaled to serve multiple residential area, with z a diverse mix of uses." (Attachment C) y N': ~ , 01- By contrast, hotels and motels are permitted uses in the Regional Commercial (RC) zone. The RC designation is higher intensity, intended to "provide for areas characterized by commercial services, offices, lodging, entertainment, and retail activities with associated warehousing, and accessory light industrial uses, along a transportation corridor and intended for high- intensity regional uses." (Attachment D) THRESHOLD REVIEW CRITERIA Describe how the issue is addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. If the issue is not adequately addressed, is there a need for it? The overall Pacific Highway Corridor goal, Comprehensive Plan Goal 8.2 sets the overall tone for redevelopment along Pacific Highway. It calls for: "A Pacific Highway corridor that is an attractive, safe, and profitable place to live, do business, shop, and work, and is a positive reflection of the City as a whole and of the surrounding residential and business community." Other policies describe more specific measures for revitalizing the area. Comprehensive Plan Policy 8.2.17 describes the preferred locations for certain types of development: 2 z L98 -0098 Ben -Carol Motel "Create a pedestrian- oriented Neighborhood Commercial Center as a focal area along Pacific Highway South; create a Regional Commercial area south of the Neighborhood Commercial Center and create opportunities for either commercial or industrial uses at the north end of the corridor." Policy 8.2.17 was implemented through the City of Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use z map and City of Tukwila Zoning map which marks South 140` Street as the edge between the NCC and RC designations. The Ben -Carol property is located in the NCC CC IL/ zone, one block south of the RC designations. (Attachment E) v U O' As part of the 1997 Comprehensive Plan amendment process, Tukwila staff reviewed w tu current and desired land use along the Pacific Highway South corridor. Acting on ' N t; recommendations from the Pacific Highway Revitalization Plan, the City Council uj 0 amended the Comprehensive Plan to mark the lots directly east and northeast of the ` J current subject property as Commercial Redevelopment Area (CRA). (Attachment F) tL a The CRA is an overlay zone that permits the commercial use of residentially zoned = a property under certain circumstances. These properties were chosen as CRAs to enhance 1... w their potential for redevelopment through possible consolidation of small parcels into • larger, more attractive sites. The Comprehensive Plan was amended to reflect this z i policy. (Attachment G) 2 o CI The Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Designation of the commercial area adjacent to the o i—; CRA is intended to guide the type of uses that are desired when redevelopment occurs. z v' In this case, it is significant that the Ben -Carol property designation was left as NCC LL 0 during this process, rather than being changed to RC. This shows that the City desires z redevelopment that is consistent with NCC requirements in this part of Pacific Highway. 2 The CRA designation is also intended to encourage redevelopment of nonconforming Z uses into uses that are directly permitted in the adjacent commercial zone. In this case, the CRA could encourage the existing Ben -Carol Motel to redevelop as a use that would be directly permitted in the NCC zone. Impacts Changing the Ben -Carol property's designation to Regional Commercial (RC) would allow a hotel to become a permitted use in the midst of the Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) district. Rather than being "pedestrian- friendly, " the new hotel would be an auto - oriented "island" in an area that is intended to be pedestrian- oriented. If the request were granted, and the hotel not built, any RC use, such as a tavern or warehouse, could be built on the site. An isolated RC designation would be inconsistent with the intent of the adjacent CRA and the clear policy direction to retain the NCC zoning and encourage NCC -type uses. Is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public need? What other options are there for meeting the identified public need? 3 .. L98 -0098 Ben -Carol Motel The Comprehensive Plan identifies upgrading the Pacific Highway Corridor as a key public need that should be implemented by following the guidance of the Pacific Highway Revitalization Plan. The proposed change is not the preferred means for improving Pacific Highway since it creates a small, isolated RC zone and use in an area which is intended to'redevelop in lower - intensity, neighborhood- oriented NCC uses. Will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community? If not, what type of benefit can be expected and why? In the short term, the existing motel cannot make significant improvements since it is a non - conforming use. Granting the request would benefit the property owner by allowing him to develop a new hotel in place of the existing motel. This reque ;t is inconsistent with plans that have been made for the overall community. Granting the request would result in development that is at odds with community -wide priorities. CONCLUSIONS The existing motel is a non - conforming use that cannot make improvements due to its non - conforming status. It is Located within an NCC — Neighborhood Commercial Center, and is adjacent to a Commercial Redevelopment Area. This entire area is intended for neighborhood, pedestrian- oriented uses. Changing the property's designation to RC -- Regional Center would create a permanent, permitted "island" of higher intensity, more automobile- oriented uses. This is inconsistent with long -term plans for the area's redevelopment. Alternatives for Action The City Council's threshold alternatives include the following: • refer the proposal as is to the Planning Commission for further review; • modify the proposal and refer to the Planning Commission for further review; • defer consideration until a later time; • reject the proposal If the proposal is referred to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission could; • recommend approval • modify the proposal; • recommend denial. 4 $' z i� 2 cc JV. 00 too WI N U. w 0. u. `2 a I-- W z�.

IMPACT(S) OF PROPOSED CHANGE ON SURROUNDING PROPERTIES: Potential adverse impacts resulting from the Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment will be limited to the land use designation and zoning of the surrounding properties. The land use designation of the property located at 14110 Pacific Highway South would be amended from Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) to Regional Commercial (RC) in order to facilitate the building of the new and modern Ben Carol West Hotel. The zoning of the surrounding properties that would be affected are those that are currently zoned NCC or Medium Density Residential (MDR). It is our view that there would not be any adverse impacts with regard to natural features or systems, or public utilities or streets. In fact, the new hotel will improve the environment, economy, health, and safety of the area along the Pacific Highway South Corridor. B. NON - CONFORMING USES CREATED: None. . C. IMPACT(S) OF PROPOSED CHANGE ON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES, ZONING REGULATIONS AND CITY'S FUNCTIONAL PLANS: The proposed Ben Carol West Hotel will have a positive impact because it will be consistent with the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan's fourth objective to "redevelop and reinvigorate the Pacific Highway South Corridor." TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (hereinafter, PLAN), 3. The proposal is also consistent with the City of Tukwila's • vision to create an economy that supports thriving and responsible businesses providing quality work experiences and income, that generates revenue for public services. PLAN at 10. The proposal also complies with Goal 1.8 of the PLAN to create "a more attractive form of commercial development along major streets in the community." PLAN at 23. 1 With regard to the PLAN's purpose regarding economic development, the City of Tukwila has adopted the general philosophy of encouraging the "retention and growth of existing local firms." PLAN at 31. The Ben Carol West Hotel is a local firm that contributes to the local economy, and if allowed to modernize its outdated and substandard 50 year -old motel with a new hotel, it will grow and contribute more to local economic growth and reduction of crime. The Ben Carol West Hotel recognizes that working with the City of Tukwila is essential to successful revitalization of Pacific Highway South. The owners of the Ben Carol fully subscribe to the PACIFIC HIGHWAY SOUTH REVITALIZATION PLAN's reliance upon partnerships, careful timing and a public information and involvement program. PACIFIC HIGHWAY SOUTH REVITALIZATION PLAN (hereinafter, REVITALIZATION), 16. The Ben Carol owners also recognize that these partnerships are necessary to achieve an efficient utilization of the city's resources and want to work with Tukwila to assist in revitalization of the Pacific Highway South Corridor. Tukwila's Economic Development Policy 2.1.5 as stated in the PLAN also offers support for the proposal to modernize and build a new Ben Carol hotel because it will enhance the community's economic well being. The owners of the Ben Carol want to cooperate with Tukwila and hope that the City will reciprocate in abiding by Policy 2.1.5 by acting "in partnership with the private sector" in order to "encourage redevelopment and as an inducement to convert outdated and underutilized land and buildings to high - valued and/or appropriate land uses." PLAN at 34. Pacific Highway South revitalization as adopted by the City of Tukwila recognizes four areas to assist improvement, including real estate investment, market z =w re 6 JU.

In terms of Real Property Investment, the Ben Carol West Hotel will make investments to improve the physical condition and appearance of the property and will take into consideration the City of Tukwila's grant programs for site - rehabilitation of their property. REVITALIZATION at 18. The Ben Carol West Hotel proposal is consistent with Goal 8.2 to create a "Pacific Highway Corridor that is an attractive, safe, and profitable place to live, do business, shop, and work, and is a positive reflection of the City as a whole and of the surrounding residential and business community." PLAN at 93. The owners of the new hotel will work with Tukwila to ensure that policies 8.2.11 and 8.2.12 are successfully carried out to create a strategic and financial plan facilitating both private and public investment. With a coordinated strategic plan involving the city, residents, and local business, the community will be able to reduce crime through community policing. PLAN at 95. The main impact that will result from the proposed change to the Comprehensive Plan will be the redesignation of the zoning from NCC to RC. Although the RC designation runs counter to policy 8.2.17 to create a NCC zoning for the Pacific Highway South Corridor, the new Ben Carol West Hotel under a RC zoning will balance the needs of the property owner with that of the community to retain the benefits of both the RC and NCC zoning. In fact, policy 8.2.17 itself leaves avenues open for RC development at the north and south end of the Pacific Highway South Corridor. PLAN at 96. Therefore, as a matter of fairness and equity, the City of Tukwila should take steps to fulfill its role and responsibility pursuant to Goal 15.1 to provide "service oriented government that 3 works with citizens and citizens groups to recognize and solve problems within the community." PLAN at 168. Here, the City of Tukwila should work with the Ben Carol West Hotel owners in developing a plan that will protect the owner's desire to utilize the property efficiently protecting their investment, but also preserve Tukwila's desire to reduce crime, enhance public safety, and plan future economic development along the Pacific Highway South Corridor. As the REVITALIZATION PLAN states succinctly, the successful improvement of safety, function, and appearance of Pacific Highway's infrastructure and facilities requires a multi- faceted approach with respect to economic redevelopment along the corridor balancing the short term needs of existing businesses with that of long -term goals of redevelopment and revitalization. REVITALIZATION at 27. In our view, we can balance the Ben Carol's need for a new and competitive hotel with modem safety and building features with the City of Tukwila's desire to redevelop and revitalize the corridor in order to reduce criine and improve the economic condition of the area: D. IMPACT(S) OF PROPOSED CHANGE ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN: The proposed Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment will have no or at most minimal impact to the City of Tukwila's Capital Improvements Plan. The Ben Carol West Hotel proposal will increase the number of units only from 23 to 40. Architect Edward McHugh informs us that this will only have at best a minor impact because the scale of this project is small. Furthermore, since the City of Tukwila has established a City Enterprise Zone along the Pacific Highway South Corridor, Tukwila is already going to pay the cost of improving public infrastructure to accommodate larger scale commercial development.

These improvements include upgrading water lines, underground utilities, and telecommunications, as well as reducing traffic speeds. REVITALIZATION at 30, 31. Therefore, we do not anticipate much impact from the small scale Ben Carol project because Tukwila is already taking initiative to make the capital improvements necessary for large -scale commercial development while mitigating impacts associated with these improvements. In any event, the Ben Carol proposal will work in concert with the Public Works Department to ensure that the project will be in compliance with its regulations regarding public infrastructure. E. DEFICIENCIES IN EXISTING PLAN /CODE RESOLVED BY THE PROPOSAL: The present NCC zoning codified by the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan is deficient because it prevents the Ben Carol property owners from building a new hotel consistent with modem safety and building codes. Since the Ben Carol currently is a non- conforming use, the NCC zoning is also faulty because it prevents the Ben Carol property from being utilized in ways to improve and revitalize the economy pursuant to the PLAN's fourth objective, goal 1.8, and policy 8.2.11 for the purpose of developing an area which protects the health and safety of the community (by reducing crime and unwanted behavior as well as improving safety and appearance of the property). The non - conforming use only allows minor repairs unless the motel is destroyed, preventing altering, intensifying, increasing, enlarging, or extending the building. See Tukwila Municipal Code Sections 18.70.040, 18.70.050 (2), and 18.70.060. Thus, policy 8.2.17 limiting the Pacific Highway South Corridor to a NCC designation is both deficient and contradictory. It is both deficient and contradictory because it prevents the Ben Carol property owners from utilizing their property more efficiently pursuant to the PLAN's fourth objective, goal 1.8, and policy 8.2.11 in order to help improve the economy in the area and reduce criminal activity. Furthermore, the existing PLAN and zoning code designating the Ben Carol property as NCC fails to support policy 15.1.4 to "[e]nsure that land use...plans and projects in Tukwila benefit existing and future populations in an equitable manner." PLAN at 169. The PLAN as now constituted prevents the Ben Carol owners from modernizing the property to meet modern safety and building codes and does not allow replacing an old and ugly motel with a modern and much better looking facility that would assist in reducing criminal activity, contradicting policy 15.1.5's objective of making efforts to "[f]oster an environment of safety and security for those who live in, work in, and visit Tukwila, through long -term partnerships between residents, businesses, schools, Tukwila Police Department, and other City staff in crime intervention and safety enhancement programs." PLAN at 169. The Ben Carol owners have done business in Tukwila for almost 15 years and wish to cooperate with the City of Tukwila to meet the objectives of Goal 15.1 (e.g. Tukwila crime free hotel/motel program) and its policies because they are a local business who depend on the PLAN's safety component to attract visitors willing to stay in the city. The Ben Carol West Hotel proposal will assist the City of Tukwila in resolving any deficiency caused by inconsistency in the PLAN and the Zoning Code. F. COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPOSAL WITH THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT : The Ben Carol West Hotel proposal complies entirely with the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). Specifically, the land use 6 requirement is complied with regard to the transportation corridor along Pacific Highway South because the proposal will assist the City of Tukwila to succeed in promoting the optional element to the PLAN by enhancing the community image and economic development as specified in Tukwila's 15 elements of its PLAN. The proposal will comply with specific requirements of the GMA in every way possible to address the housing, utilities, transportation, capital facilities, and land use components. In terms of maintaining the PLAN in compliance with the GMA, the proponents of this proposal will take reasonable steps to utilize land use planning and development regulation concepts of "consistency and concurrency" as mandated in the GMA that local land use plans "be consistent with each other, and with those of adjacent jurisdictions." PLAN at 173. G. OTHER ISSUES PRESENTED BY THE PROPOSED CHANGE: None. H. ALTERNATIVES TO PROPOSED CHANGE: None.. 111. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN /ZONING CODE AMENDMENT CRITERIA A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CRITERIA 1. A detailed statement of what is proposed and why; Mr. Edward Lin, representing L&L Motels, Inc., asks the City of Tukwila to consider his proposal for the Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment for the parcel known as the "Ben Carol Motel," located at 14110 Pacific Highway South (Assessor Account No: 161000- 0335 -06) in order to facilitate the building of a new and modern hotel. Mr. Edward Lin's intent to build a new hotel spans more than ten years (see Attachment A). It is his wish that the Ben Carol West Motel parcel be rezoned from its current 7 .....__. :. z Z. re w 6 Di U O; w z° J 1- LL w0 g -J u— Ud I- tux z� z° 2 DI Do ❑ E— w w LI p. .Z w N. U= 0 z Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) to Regional Commercial (RC) to allow the building of the new $ 1.5 million hotel (See Pre - Application Project Summary for details). The purpose of submitting the application for the Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment is to assist the City of Tukwila in revitalizing the economy along Pacific Highway South. The Ben Carol motel currently is a non - conforming use. Since a non- conforming use prevents up- grades and modernization of the existing motel, we believe that the new `Ben Carol West Hovel" will accomplish the objective of revitalizing the area and maintain greater consistency with the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan for the following reasons. 1. A new and modern hotel will improve the appearance of the area along Pacific Highway South, increase property values, reduce criminal activity such as drug dealing and prostitution, and contribute to the community with increased business and revenue to the City of Tukwila. 2. A modern hotel is more compatible with current building and safety codes. 3. A modern hotel will attract business people from higher incomes who will be more likely to stay in an attractive setting and spend more money in an area with a city's commitment to keep the streets clean and safe. 4. A new and modern hotel will allow Mr. Edward Lin to attract a national franchise hotel chain to choose the Ben Carol as a franchise and make a positive impact to the local economy through employment opportunities and investment. In'the final analysis, Mr. Edward Lin's proposal to build a new hotel should be approved pursuant to the City of Tukwila Ordinance No. 1856, Section 1 (B) because the 8 z zz• J U: UO, T w I: J F w O, g 5: =0 : _. • .f- O ILI la z�- • U; ON •••• ` •:w F=- U w z co: z • proposal's benefits to the city are not adequately addressed in the PLAN, there is a public need for the change to improve safety and reduce crime, the proposed change is the best way to identify public need, and the change will be a net benefit to the community. As a matter of fairness, the Ben Carol property should be permitted to be modernized as other hotels have, consistent with attracting new business to the area and with the RC zoning the other hotels enjoy. It is Mr. Edward Lin's goal to make this project successful in order to revitalize the city's economy consistent with protecting the environment as outlined in the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan and the Washington State Growth Management Act. We hope to work in any way possible with the Tukwila Department of Community Development, Department of Public Works and the City Council in order to make this project succeed. 2. A statement of the anticipated impacts of the change, including geographic area affected and the issues presented by the proposed change. Anticipated impacts of the change will be limited to the Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment from NCC to RC zoning ordinance to facilitate the building of a new hotel to revitalize the economy, reduce crime, enhance the image of the Pacific Highway South Corridor, and modernize the hotel facilities to be consistent with building and safety codes. The geographic area will be not be impacted because the scale of the Ben Carol proposal is small. Furthermore, the City of Tukwila already is taking initiative to improve public infrastructure to allow greater commercial development, on a much larger scale than the Ben Carol proposal, through the City Enterprise Zone development initiative.

An explanation of why the current comprehensive plan or development regulations are deficient or should not continue in effect. The present NCC zoning codified by the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan is deficient because it prevents the Ben Carol property owners from building a new hotel consistent with modern safety and building codes. Since the Ben Carol currently is a non- conforming use, the NCC zoning is also faulty because it prevents the Ben Carol property from being utilized in ways to improve and revitalize the economy along Pacific Highway South. By working with the City of Tukwila and the Department of Community Development, the Ben Carol owners and the City of Tukwila can utilize common goals and strategies advocated by the PLAN in order to correct deficiencies in both the PLAN and zoning regulations. 4. A statement of how the proposed amendment complies with and promotes the specific requirements of the Growth Management Act. The Ben Carol West Hotel proposal complies entirely with the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). Specifically, the land use requirement is complied with regard to the transportation corridor along Pacific Highway South because the proposal will assist the City of Tukwila to succeed in promoting the optional elements to the PLAN by enhancing the community image and economic development as specified in Tukwila's 15 elements. The proposal will comply with specific requirements of the GMA in every way possible to address the housing, utilities, transportation, capital facilities, and land use components. In terms of maintaining the PLAN in compliance with the GMA, the proponents of this proposal will take reasonable 10 steps to utilize land use planning and development regulation concepts of "consistency and concurrency" as mandated in the GMA that local land use plans " be consistent with each other, and with those of adjacent jurisdictions." PLAN at 173. 5. A statement of how the proposed amendment complies with applicable Countywide Planning Policies. The Ben Carol West Hotel proposal will comply with all applicable land -use policies and requirements adopted by the King County Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) to ensure future maintenance of existing quality of life and the environment. Furthermore, by utilizing the PLAN as a guide and essential tool, the Ben Carol owners will develop their property with special recognition to preserve and enhance Tukwila's long -term economic growth and community viability and identity. See PLAN at 2. 6. A statement of what changes, if any, would be required in functional plans (i.e. the City's water, sewer, storm water or shoreline plans) if the proposed amendment is adopted. There will be no significant change to the functional plans as a result of the successful passage of the Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment. See also II. D. IMPACT(S) OF PROPOSED CHANGE ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN. 7. A statement of what capital improvements, if any, would be needed to support the proposed change, and how the proposed change will affect the capital facilities plans of the City. The City of Tukwila already will make capital improvements as indicated in the Capital Improvements Plan. See REVITALIZATION at 10, 30, and 31. Therefore, no capital improvements as a result of this proposal are needed. The proposed change also will not affect the City of Tukwila's capital facilities plans. See also II. D.

The use or change in zoning requested shall be in conformity with the adopted Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, the provisions of this title, and the public interest; The change in the zoning requested by the Ben Carol property owners is entirely consistent with Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan to assist in revitalizing the economy along the Pacific Highway South Corridor, reduce crime, and enhance public safety. For the reasons stated in II. IMPACTS OF PROPOSED CHANGE and III. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN /ZONING CODE AMENDMENT CRITERIA, we believe that our proposal is consistent with the PLAN and will be a benefit to the public interest. However, we recognize that the proposed building of the new hotel is not allowed in a NCC zoning code designation. That is the only aspect of the hotel proposal that conflicts with the PLAN. Because of this conflict, the Ben Carol owners seek a Zoning Code Amendment from the NCC zoning designation to RC for the purpose of reducing crime, improving public safety, and revitalizing the economy. The proposed zoning change from NCC to RC will allow the Ben Carol to be in conformity with the PLAN because in reality the zoning code is the only issue in dispute. In all other respects, we believe the proposal is consistent with the PLAN. 2. The use or change in zoning requested in the zoning map or this title for the establishment of commercial, industrial, or residential use shall be supported by an architectural site plan showing the proposed development and its relationship to surrounding areas as set forth in the application form. See architectural site plan. 12 z • • re t . JU- U (X 'co CI; ;U)w; wz J 1-: CO w ='a I.w • _: z� ►- O Z I- • to 0 — !o f-, w w. .- o' U N, • H H • • O Attachment B TITLE 18 — ZONING 3.

Any preexisting lawful use of land made noncon- forming under the terms of this title may be continued as a nonconforming use, defined in TMC 18.06, so long as that use remains lawful, subject to the following: 1. No such nonconforming use shall be enlarged, intensified, increased or extended to occupy a greater use of the land, structure or combination of the two, than was occupied at the effective date of adoption of this title; 2. No nonconforming use shall be moved or extended in whole or in part to any other portion of the lot or parcel occupied by such use at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this title; 3. If any such nonconforming use ceases for any reason for a period of more than six consecutive months, or a total of 365 days in a three -year time period, whichever occurs first, any subsequent use shall conform to the regulations specified by this title for the district in which such use is located; 4. No existing structure devoted to a use not permitted by this title in the zone in which it is located shall be structurally altered, except in changing the use of the structure to a use permitted in the zone in which it is located; except where minor alterations are made, pursuant to TMC 18.70.050(1), TMC 18.70.060, or any other pertinent section, herein; 5. If a change of use is proposed to a use determined to be nonconforming by application of provisions in this title, the proposed new use must be a permitted use in its zone or a use approved under a Conditional Use or Unclassified Use Permit process, subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission and /or the City Council. For purposes of implementing this section, a change of use constitutes a change from one Permitted, Conditional or Unclassi- fied Use category to another such use category as listed within the zoning code. 6. Any structure, or structure and land in combination, in or on which a nonconforming use is superseded by a permitted use, shall thereafter con- form to the regulations for the zone in which such structure is located, and the nonconforming use may not thereafter be resumed. (Ord. 1819 §1(part), 1997) 18.70.050 Nonconforming structures. Where a lawful structure exists at the effective date of adoption of this title that could not be built under the terms of this title by reason of restrictions on area, lot coverage, height, yards or other characteristics of the structure, it may be continued so long as the structure remains otherwise lawful subject to the following provisions: 1. No such structure may be enlarged or altered in a way which increases its degree of noncor* formity. Ordinary maintenance of a nonconforming structure is permitted, pursuant to TMC 18.70.060, including but not limited to painting, roof repair and replacement, plumbing, wiring, mechanical equipment repair /replacement and weatherization. These and other alterations, additions or enlargements may be allowed as long as the work done does not extend further into any required yard or violate any other portion of this title. Complete plans shall be required of all work contemplated under this section. 2. Should such structure be destroyed by any means to an extent of more than 50% of its replace- ment cost at time of destruction, in the judgment of the City's Building Official, it shall not be reconstructed except in conformity with provisions of this title, except that in the LDR zone, structures that are nonconforming in regard to yard setbacks but were in conformance at the time of construction may be reconstructed to their original dimensions and location on the lot. 3. Should such structure be moved for any reason or any distance whatsoever, it shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the zone in which it is located after it is moved. 4. When a nonconforming structure, or structure and premises in combination, is vacated abandoned for 24 consecutive months, the structure, structure and premises in combination, shall thereafter be required to be in conformance with the regulations of the zone in which it is located. Upon request of the owner, the City Council may grant an extension of time beyond the 24 consecutive months. 5. Residential structures and uses located in any single - family or multiple- family residential zoning district and in existence at the time of adoption of this title shall not be deemed nonconforming in terms of bulk, use, or density provisions of this title.

Real Property investment Advance property owner responsi- bility in the maintenance and man- agement of existing housing by combining City code enforcement with partnerships Critical to success of the area's revitaliza- tion is the challenge of rehabilitating poorly managed and substandard multiple family developments. One part of the City's overall approach will consist of a dual program of: • diligent City enforcement of code requirements and improvement incentives to current property owners, and • active pursuit by the City for interested, reputable private property owners or quasi- public and nonprofit housing advocates. Responsible Department and its Role The Uniform Housing Code and the Tukwila Municipal Code Nuisance Chapter are the primary codes establishing minimum residential rental requirements that can be enforced. This function is performed out of the Mayor's Office. Other codes however are also critical components for minimum living standards and will play a role in the imple- mentation of this strategy.

The City will use the Pacific Highway "site selection criteria" (see page 23), and will pursue available housing funds and housing advocates to match programs with properties in the corridor. Stimulate maintenance and im- provement of property in the Pacific Highway corridor by offering reha- bilitation funds A significant challenge in the Pacific Highway corridor is that history and appear- ance of the area form the basis for the region's perceptions. The purpose of this strategy is to create an incentive for private property owners to improve the physical conditions and appearance of their properties. The City will develop and sponsor a grant program for site rehabilitation of multi- family and commercial properties. This program will be available on sites within the study area where financial participation is matched by the property owner or lessor.

The Department of Community Development Director, the SEPA Responsible Official, determined that the environmental review undertaken for the Pacific Highway Revi- Q • • talizaton Plan (Tukwila File Number E97 -0009) anticipated the adoption of Comprehensive = F" Plan amendments related to implementation of the Revitalization Plan and therefore no � additional review was necessary for the amendments relating to the Pacific Highway Revi- talization Plan; - U UO G. Based on a review of the environmental checklist for the essential public facilities N W' amendments (Tukwila File Number E98-0024), the Department of Community Deveifnment _I H Director, the SEPA Responsible Official, issued a Determination of Significance and Adoi. -ion N of Existing Environmental Documents.

Dan Aragon, 4620 So. 124th St. Richard Ruggles, 12404 — 50th Pl. So. Lawrence Marshall, 4919 So. 124th Some of the comments made by the above individuals included: BNSF is not a caring company; other alternatives into the yard must be sought out; the noise and stress of the shaking of the homes is too much (especially in light of the fact it happens at all hours of the day and night); damage is occurring to property with no attempt at repair by truck drivers; concern for safety of children should be first; the street is being torn up ( "ruts ") after only one year of resurfacing; and, street crossing is dangerous. One letter was read into the record for Ms. Gail Jacobsen, 12245 — 40th Ave So. She, too, is in favor of restricting truck traffic from 124th Street. The following persons spoke against restricting truck traffic from So. 124th Street: Tom Ison, 12400 — 51st Pl. So. Bill O'Connell, 12065 — 44th Pl. So. Pat Molara, 6440 So. 143rd St. Some of the comments made by the above individuals included: BNSF wants to be a good neighbor; BNSF works hard to resolve issues which arise; the 124th St. access must be used right now as it is the safest route available; business in the area would be greatly impacted if the street was closed to truck traffic; it is unfortunate that urban sprawl has been allowed in a commercially zoned area; and let's work together to come up with a solution that work for everyone.

Rants, Mayor City Council Members Mayor Rants Comprehensive Plan Amendments Process and Schedule March 31, 1999 Steve Lancaster, Director BACKGROUND: We received three Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code amendments by the deadline on December 31, 1998. This memo will brief you on the process and timeframe for public review of the applications. The state Growth Management Act allows a city's Comprehensive Plan to be amended once each year except in case of emergency. Chapter 18.80 of the Tukwila Municipal Code outlines the process for submittal and review of proposed Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code amendments. The City Council revised and simplified this process through Ordinance #1856 in November 1998. (See Attachments A and B). The CAP was briefed on the Comprehensive Plan amendments on March 16, 1999, and has forwarded the issue to a Regular Meeting. REQUESTED AMENDMENTS: Three amendments, involving one map change, were received for threshold review. The requested amendments are the following: File #L98 -0098 File #L98 -0103 • File #L98 -0104 Change NCC to RC to permit hotel redevelopment at 14110 Pacific Highway South. Simplify process for amending Comprehensive Plan Prepare new Shoreline Management Program NEXT STEP The public meeting will be held on April 12. The purpose of the April 12 public meeting is to receive public input on the proposed amendments. This input will provide the Council with information in considering whether to forward the amendments to the Planning Commission for further consideration. z z 1- �-z QQ � U: • U 0 N U W =: •. w 0 u. a. • = d; _, �0 • w~ w cw w W; H LL ; :CU Z ` UN •z ALBERT H.

See Attachment A. rIK A 4' x 4' public notice board will be required on site within 14 days of filing a complete application. See Attachment B. II. IMPACTS OF PROPOSED CHANGE A. IMPACT(S) OF PROPOSED CHANGE ON SURROUNDING PROPERTIES: Potential adverse impacts resulting from the Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment will be limited to the land use designation and zoning of the surrounding properties. The land use designation of the property located at 14110 Pacific Highway South would be amended from Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) to Regional Commercial (RC) in order to facilitate the building of the new and modern Ben Carol West Hotel. The zoning of the surrounding properties that would be affected are those that are currently zoned NCC or Medium Density Residential (MDR). It is our view that there would not be any adverse impacts with regard to natural features or systems, or public utilities or streets. In fact, the new hotel will improve the environment, economy, health, and safety of the area along the Pacific Highway South Corridor. B. NON - CONFORMING USES CREATED: None. C. IMPACT(S) OF PROPOSED CHANGE ON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES, ZONING REGULATIONS AND CITY'S FUNCTIONAL PLANS: The proposed Ben Carol West Hotel will have a positive impact because it will be consistent with the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan's fourth objective to "redevelop and reinvigorate the Pacific Highway South Corridor." TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (hereinafter, PLAN), 3. The proposal is also consistent with the City of Tukwila's vision to create an economy that supports thriving and responsible businesses providing quality work experiences and income, that generates revenue for public services. PLAN at 10. The proposal also complies with Goal 1.8 of the PLAN to create "a more attractive form of commercial development along major streets in the community." PLAN at 23. 1 With regard to the PLAN's purpose regarding economic development, the City of' Tukwila has adopted the general philosophy of encouraging the "retention and growth of existing local firms." PLAN at 31. The Ben Carol West Hotel is a local firm that contributes to the local economy, and if allowed to modernize its outdated and substandard 50 year -old motel with a new hotel, it will grow and contribute more to local economic growth and reduction of crime. The Ben Carol West Hotel recognizes that working with the City of Tukwila is essential to successful revitalization of Pacific Highway South. The owners of the Ben Carol fully subscribe to the PACIFIC HIGHWAY SOUTH REVITALIZATION PLAN's reliance upon partnerships, careful timing and a public information and involvement program. PACIFIC HIGHWAY SOUTH REVITALIZATION PLAN (hereinafter, REVITALIZATION), 16. The Ben Carol owners also recognize that these partnerships are necessary to achieve an efficient utilization of the city's resources and want to work with Tukwila to assist in revitalization of the Pacific Highway South Corridor. Tukwila's Economic Development Policy 2.1.5 as stated in the PLAN also offers support for the proposal to modernize and build a new Ben Carol hotel because it will enhance the community's economic well being. The owners of the Ben Carol want to cooperate with Tukwila and hope that the City will reciprocate in abiding by Policy 2.1.5 by acting "in partnership with the private sector" in order to "encourage redevelopment and as an inducement.to convert outdated and underutilized land and buildings to high - valued and/or appropriate land uses." PLAN at 34. Pacific Highway South revitalization as adopted by the City of Tukwila recognizes four areas to assist improvement, including real estate investment, market 2 z z� re w 00 tO w_. W z. ' ;J I-: N ' W O. g J: • < �d, _' z� zoo uj 0- CI I- WW I- -' u. Z. • w c)=`; o� z expansion, community development, and infrastructure and facilities development. REVITALIZATION at 16. In terms of Real Property Investment, the Ben Carol West Hotel will make investments to improve the physical condition and appearance of the property and will take into consideration the City of Tukwila's grant programs for site - rehabilitation of their property. REVITALIZATION at 18. The Ben Carol West Hotel proposal is consistent with Goal 8.2 to create a "Pacific Highway Corridor that is an attractive, safe, and profitable place to live, do business, shop, and work, and is a positive reflection of the City as a whole and of the surrounding residential and business community." PLAN at 93. The owners of the new hotel will work with Tukwila to ensure that policies 8.2.11 and 8.2.12 are successfully carried out to create a strategic and financial plan facilitating both private and public investment. With a coordinated strategic plan involving the city, residents, and local business, the community will be able to reduce crime through conununity policing. PLAN at 95. The main impact that will result from the proposed change to the Comprehensive Plan will be the redesignation of the zoning from NCC to RC. Although the RC designation runs counter to policy 8.2.17 to create a NCC zoning for the Pacific Highway South Corridor, the new Ben Carol West Hotel under a RC zoning will balance the needs of the property owner with that of the community to retain the benefits of both the RC and NCC zoning. In fact, policy 8.2.17 itself leaves avenues open for RC development at the north and south end of the Pacific Highway South Corridor. PLAN at 96. Therefore, as a matter of fairness and equity, the City of Tukwila should take steps to fulfill its role and responsibility pursuant to Goal 15.1 to provide "service oriented government that z _• . .0 O' v) w W =! w O'• = a: ▪ w Z �. I— 0. Z1: LLJ O co o1: w' . O.. w z: z works with citizens and citizens groups to recognize and solve problems within the community." PLAN at 168. Here, the City of Tukwila should work with the Ben Carol West Hotel owners in developing a plan that will protect the owner's desire to utilize the property efficiently protecting their investment, but also preserve Tukwila's desire to reduce crime, enhance public safety, and plan future economic development along the Pacific Highway South Corridor. As the REVITALIZATION PLAN states succinctly, the successful improvement of safety, function, and appearance of Pacific Highway's infrastructure and facilities requires a multi- faceted approach with respect to economic redevelopment along the corridor balancing the short term needs of existing businesses with that of long -term goals of redevelopment and revitalization. REVITALIZATION at 27. In our view, we can balance the Ben Carol's need for a new and competitive hotel with modem safety and building features with the City of Tukwila's desire to redevelop and revitalize the corridor in order to reduce crime and improve the economic condition of the area: D. IMPACT(S) OF PROPOSED CHANGE ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN: The proposed Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment will have no or at most minimal impact to the City of Tukwila's Capital Improvements Plan. The Ben Carol West Hotel proposal will increase the number of units only from 23 to 40. Architect Edward McHugh informs us that this will only have at best a minor impact because the scale of this project is. small. Furthermore, since the City of Tukwila has established a City Enterprise Zone along the Pacific Highway South Corridor, Tukwila is already going to pay the cost of improving public infrastructure to accommodate larger scale commercial development. REVITALIZATION at 10. The Revitalization Plan ensures 4 z 1 mow. 0 O! y 0` w= w0 aa' - d' F. w. z� H 0 z w w; 2 C.) 0 1-: w. - O, • Z tl ~_ O z that the "Pacific Highway Corridor infrastructure meets minimum development standards and that the infrastructure improvements are designed to attract the type and quality of businesses desired." These improvements include upgrading water lines, underground utilities, and telecommunications, as well as reducing traffic speeds. REVITALIZATION at 30, 31. Therefore, we do not anticipate much impact from the small scale Ben Carol project because Tukwila is already taking initiative to make the capital improvements necessary for large -scale commercial development while mitigating impacts associated with these improvements. In any event, the Ben Carol proposal will work in concert with the Public Works Department to ensure that the project will be in compliance with its regulations regarding public infrastructure. E. DEFICIENCIES IN EXISTING PLAN /CODE RESOLVED BY THE PROPOSAL: The present NCC zoning codified by the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan is deficient because it prevents the Ben Carol property owners from building a new hotel consistent with modern safety and building codes. Since the Ben Carol currently is a non- conforming use, the NCC zoning is also faulty because it prevents the Ben Carol property from being utilized in ways to improve and revitalize the economy pursuant to the PLAN's fourth objective, goal 1.8, and policy 8.2.11 for the purpose of developing an area which protects the health and safety of the community (by reducing crime and unwanted behavior as well as improving safety and appearance of the property). The non - conforming use only allows minor repairs unless the motel is destroyed, preventing altering, intensifying, increasing, enlarging, or extending the building. See Tukwila Municipal Code Sections 18.70.040, 18.70.050 (2), and 18.70.060. Thus, policy 8.2.17 limiting the Pacific Highway South Corridor to a NCC designation is both deficient and 5 contradictory. It is both deficient and contradictory because it prevents the Ben Carol property owners from utilizing their property more efficiently pursuant to the PLAN's fourth objective, goal 1.8, and policy 8.2.11 in order to help improve the economy in the �z w. 6 J U? 0 0; W= N �, w0 J =d. I w. r z _. z o, w al 0 in 0 F-. w u H V' z • tiJ UN O z area and reduce criminal activity. Furthermore, the existing PLAN and zoning code designating the Ben Carol property as NCC fails to support policy 15.1.4 to "[e]nsure that land use...plans and projects in Tukwila benefit existing and future populations in an equitable manner." PLAN at 169. The PLAN as now constituted prevents the Ben Carol owners from modernizing the property to meet modern safety and building codes and does not allow replacing an old and ugly motel with a modern and much better looking facility that would assist in reducing criminal activity, contradicting policy 15.1.5's objective of making efforts to "[floster an environment of safety and security for those who live in, work in, and visit Tukwila, through long -term partnerships between residents, businesses, schools, Tukwila Police Department, and other City staff in crime intervention and safety enhancement programs." PLAN at 169. The Ben Carol owners have done business in Tukwila for almost 15 years and wish to cooperate with the City of Tukwila to meet the objectives of Goal 15.1 (e.g. Tukwila crime free hotel/motel program) and its policies because they are a local business who depend on the PLAN's safety component to attract visitors willing to stay in the city. The Ben Carol West Hotel proposal will assist the City of Tukwila in resolving any deficiency caused by inconsistency in the PLAN and the Zoning Code. F. COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPOSAL WITH THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT: The Ben Carol West Hotel proposal complies entirely with the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). Specifically, the land use 6 requirement is complied with regard to the transportation corridor along Pacific Highway South because the proposal will assist the City of Tukwila to succeed in promoting the optional element to the PLAN by enhancing the community image and economic development as specified in Tukwila's 15 elements of its PLAN. The proposal will comply with specific requirements of the GMA in every way possible to address the housing, utilities, transportation, capital facilities, and land use components. In terms of maintaining the PLAN in compliance with the GMA, the proponents of this proposal will take reasonable steps to utilize land use planning and development regulation concepts of "consistency and concurrency" as mandated in the GMA that local land use plans "be consistent with each other, and with those of adjacent jurisdictions." PLAN at 173. G. OTHER ISSUES PRESENTED BY THE PROPOSED CHANGE: None. H. ALTERNATIVES TO PROPOSED CHANGE: None. III. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN /ZONING CODE AMENDMENT CRITERIA A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CRITERIA 1. A detailed statement of what is proposed and why; Mr. Edward Lin, representing L&L Motels, Inc., asks the City of Tukwila to consider his proposal for the Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment for the parcel known as the "Ben Carol Motel," located at 14110 Pacific Highway South (Assessor Account No: 161000 - 0335 -06) in order to facilitate the building of a new and modern hotel. Mr. Edward Lin's intent to build a new hotel spans more than ten years (see Attachment A). It is his wish that the Ben Carol West Motel parcel be rezoned from its current :. - -' . 7 z ~w re JU O O; tA0` wz , .J H • IL w O. L a. rw H I z I: I- o, z 2 D. D 0: O co: 0 H. w „, I U u. O • Z U N. _. O' Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) to Regional Commercial (RC) to allow the building of the new $ 1.5 million hotel (See Pre - Application Project Summary for details). The purpose of submitting the application for the Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment is to assist the City of Tukwila in revitalizing the economy along Pacific Highway South. The Ben Carol motel currently is a non - conforming use. Since a non- conforming use prevents up- grades and modernization of the existing motel, we believe that the new "Ben Carol West Hotel" will accomplish the objective of revitalizing the area and maintain greater consistency with the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan for the following reasons. 1. A new and modem hotel will improve the appearance of the area along Pacific Highway South, increase property values, reduce criminal activity such as drug dealing and prostitution, and contribute to the community with increased business and revenue to the City of Tukwila. 2. A modem hotel is more compatible with current building and safety codes. 3. A modern hotel will attract business people from higher incomes who will be more likely to stay in an attractive setting and spend more money in an area with a city's commitment to keep the streets clean and safe. 4. A new and modem hotel will allow Mr. Edward Lin to attract a national franchise hotel chain to choose the Ben Carol as a franchise and make a positive impact to the local economy through employment opportunities and investment. In'the final analysis, Mr. Edward Lin's proposal to build a new hotel should be approved pursuant to the City of Tukwila Ordinance No. 1856, Section 1 (B) because the 8 z w'. o:2 u6D U; UO N w =; J CO U.:. w O' u- El• = ' d. � w z1._ �o w f-, D o, U 0: w w. H U: u. - O. uiz. U N'. 1 I- 0 z proposal's benefits to the city are not adequately addressed in the PLAN, there is a public need for the change to improve safety and reduce crime, the proposed change is the best way to identify public need, and the change will be a net benefit to the community. As a matter of fairness, the Ben Carol property should be permitted to be modernized as other hotels have, consistent with attracting new business to the area and with the RC zoning the other hotels enjoy. It is Mr. Edward Lin's goal to make this project successful in order to revitalize the city's economy consistent with protecting the environment as outlined in the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan and the Washington State Growth Management Act. We hope to work in any way possible with the Tukwila Department of Community Development, Department of Public Works and the City Council in order to make this project succeed. 2. A statement of the anticipated impacts of the change, including geographic area affected and the issues presented by the proposed change. Anticipated impacts of the change will be limited to the Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment from NCC to RC zoning ordinance to facilitate the building of a new hotel to revitalize the economy, reduce crime, enhance the image of the Pacific Highway South Corridor, and modernize the hotel facilities to be consistent with building and safety codes. The geographic area will be not be impacted because the scale of the Ben Carol proposal is small. Furthermore, the City of Tukwila already is taking initiative to improve public infrastructure t� allow greater commercial development, on a much larger scale than the Ben Carol proposal, through the City Enterprise Zone development initiative. REVITALIZATION at 10. See also II. A. IMPACT(S) OF PROPOSED CHANGE ON SURROUNDING PROPERTIES and II. C. IMPACT(S) OF PROPOSED '''' CHANGE ON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES, ZONING REGULATIONS AND CITY'S FUNCTIONAL PLANS. 3. An explanation of why the current comprehensive plan or development regulations are deficient or should not continue in effect. The present NCC zoning codified by the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan is deficient because it prevents the Ben Carol property owners from building a new hotel consistent with modem safety and building codes. Since the Ben Carol currently is a non- conforming use, the NCC zoning is also faulty because it prevents the Ben Carol property from being utilized in ways to improve and revitalize the economy along Pacific Highway South. By working with the City of Tukwila and the Department of Community Development, the Ben Carol owners and the City of Tukwila can utilize common goals and strategies advocated by the PLAN in order to correct deficiencies in both the PLAN and zoning regulations. 4. A statement of how the proposed amendment complies with and promotes the specific requirements of the Growth Management Act. The Ben Carol West Hotel proposal complies entirely with the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). Specifically, the land use requirement is complied with regard to the transportation corridor along Pacific Highway South because the proposal will assist the City of Tukwila to succeed in promoting the optional elements to the PLAN by enhancing the community image and economic development as specified in Tukwila's 15 elements. The proposal will comply with specific requirements of the GMA in every way possible to address the housing, utilities, transportation, capital facilities, and land use components. In terms of maintaining the PLAN in compliance with the GMA, the proponents of this proposal will take reasonable !' z W. re -I U 0. W = J f-, w0: 2 g¢ w0 = W z� 1-Oa z �.

PLAN at 173. S. A statement of how the proposed amendment complies with applicable Countywide Planning Policies. The Ben Carol West Hotel proposal will comply with all applicable land -use policies and requirements adopted by the King County Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) to ensure future maintenance of existing quality of life and the environment. Furthermore, by utilizing the PLAN as a guide and essential tool, the Ben Carol owners will develop their property with special recognition to preserve and enhance Tukwila's long -term economic growth and community viability and identity. See PLAN at 2. 6. A statement of what changes, if any, would be required in functional plans (i.e. the City's water, sewer, storm water or shoreline plans) if the proposed amendment is adopted. There will be no significant change to the functional plans as a result of the successful passage of the Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment. See also II. D. IMPACT(S) OF PROPOSED CHANGE ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN. 7. A statement of what capital improvements, if any, would be needed to support the proposed change, and how the proposed change will affect the capital facilities plans of the City. The City of Tukwila already will make capital improvements as indicated in the Capital Improvements Plan. See REVITALIZATION at 10, 30, and 31. Therefore, no capital improvements as a result of this proposal are needed. The proposed change also will not affect the City of Tukwila's capital facilities plans. See also II. D. IMPACTS) OF PROPOSED CHANGE ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN: 11 8. A statement of what other changes, if any, are required in other City codes, plans, or regulations to implement the proposed change. None. B. ZONING AMENDMENT CRITERIA 1. The use or change in zoning requested shall be in conformity with the adopted Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, the provisions of this title, and the public interest; The change in the zoning requested by the Ben Carol property owners is entirely consistent with Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan to assist in revitalizing the economy along the Pacific Highway South Corridor, reduce crime, and enhance public safety. For the reasons stated in II. IMPACTS OF PROPOSED CHANGE and III. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN /ZONING CODE AMENDMENT CRITERIA, we believe that our proposal is consistent with the PLAN and will be a benefit to the public interest. However, we recognize that the proposed building of the new hotel is not allowed in a NCC zoning code designation. That is the only aspect of the hotel proposal that conflicts with the PLAN. Because of this conflict, the Ben Carol owners seek a Zoning Code Amendment from the NCC zoning designation to RC for the purpose of reducing crime, improving public safety, and revitalizing the economy. The proposed zoning change from NCC to RC will allow the Ben Carol to be in conformity with the PLAN because in reality the zoning code is the only issue in dispute. In all other respects, we believe the proposal is consistent with the PLAN. 2. The use or change in zoning requested in the zoning map or this title for the establishment of commercial, industrial, or residential use shall be supported by an architectural site plan showing the proposed development and its relationship to surrounding areas as set forth in the application form. See architectural site plan. 12 z w. 00. N 0' mw Ili z;. N • w O: u- • 'a I- w' Z �.

LIN, ATTORNEY AT LAW 1201 NE 52nd Street # 9 Seattle, WA 98105 (206) 527 -6713 RECEIVED CITY OF TUKWILA DEC 2 2 1998 PERMIT CENTER PRE- APPLICATION PROCEDURE/PLAN SUBMITTAL FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN /ZONING CODE AMENDMENT Mr. Edward Lin, representing L& L Motels, Inc., asks the City of Tukwila to consider his proposal for the Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment for the parcel known as the "Ben Carol Motel," located at 14110 Pacific Highway South (Assessor Account No: 161000- 0335-06) in order to facilitate the building of a new hotel. Mr. Edward Lin's intent to build a new hotel spans more than ten years (see Attachment A). It is his wish that the Ben Carol Motel parcel be rezoned from its current Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) to Regional Commercial (RC) to allow the building of the new $ 1.5 million hotel (See Pre - Application Project Summary for details). The purpose of submitting the application for Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code Amendment is to assist the City of Tukwila in revitalizing the economy along Pacific Highway South. We believe that the new "Ben Carol West Hotel" will accomplish the objective of revitalizing the area and maintain greater consistency with the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan for the following reasons. 1. A new and modern hotel will improve the appearance of the area along Pacific Highway South, increase property values, reduce criminal activity such as drug dealing and prostitution, and contribute to the community with increased business and revenue to the City of Tukwila. 2. A modern hotel is more compatible with current building and safety codes. 3. A modern hotel will attract business people from higher incomes who will be more likely to stay in an attractive setting and spend more money in an area with a city's commitment to keep the streets clean and safe. 4. A new and modern hotel will allow Mr. Edward Lin to attract a national franchise hotel chain to choose the Ben Carol as a franchise and make a positive impact to the local economy through employment opportunities and investment. In the final analysis, Mr. Edward Lin's proposal to build a new hotel should be approved as a matter of fairness. The Ben Carol property should be permitted to be modernized as other hotels have, consistent with attracting new business to the area and with the RC zoning the other hotels enjoy. We hope to work in any way possible with the Tukwila Department of Community Development and the City Council. Furthermore, it is Mr. Edward Lin's goal is to make this project successful in order to revitalize the city's economy consistent with protecting the environment as outlined in the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan and the Washington State Growth Management Act.
