Modifications to the Environmental Checklist for File No. L94 -0008 (Interurban Convenient Store) May 23, 1994 The following modifications to the environmental checklist are herewith incorporated. A.8.(Pg.2) Environmental information directly related to this proposal: No SEPA review has previously been done on this site. SEPA review was required for this proposal based on probable traffic impacts due to the several closely spaced driveways in the immediate area, high through traffic volumes, and the high trip generation rate for convenience stores. A traffic report submitted by the applicant was considered in determining whether a SEPA checklist would be required. The traffic impacts and mitigating measures needed, supported requiring a checklist. Based on this information, a SEPA checklist was required. A.9.(Pg.2) Other proposals directly affecting the proposal: This project is in the Interurban Special Review District where all developments require design approval by the Board of Architectural Review (TMC 18.60.060(3)). The applicant proposes to utilize a previous design approval granted by the Board (File No. 88- 6 -DR). This earlier review specifically prescribed the site plan, landscaping, building architecture, and colors and materials. Any but minor and insignificant alteration of the approved design will require further Board approval. Road improvement plans for Interurban Avenue South have also been developed, which will be, in part, the basis for frontal improvements. A.11.(Pg.3) Project description: The applicant proposes to renovate an existing 2,300 s.f. gas station building, which has been abandoned for over 5 years, into a grocery /convenience store with 15 parking spaces and landscape improvements. Frontal improvements will also be required as part of the Board of Architectural Review approval and various other Tukwila codes (see modification of B.14.d in this supplement). A portion of the property is now used to provide vehicle access to the adjacent southern tavern. This is proposed to be continued. L94 -0008: Supplement to the Environmental PP May 23, 1994 Pg.3 along this road segment, for safety purposes. The applicant has agreed to this. Staff recognizes that the existing south driveway now used by the Whitehorse Tavern, may be entirely upon the applicant's property. The option to move this driveway to achieve an equitable driveway location at a later date (e.g., upon Whitehorse property redevelopment) is recognized. B.14.f.(Pg.16) Trip Generation: The attached traffic report shows trips generated to various intersections, including the Interurban Ave. S. \Southcenter Boulevard. City studies show this intersection to be functioning at LOS E /F. A total of 16 peak hour trips would go from the proposed project to this intersection. However, a relatively high percentage of these trips would be traffic generated by other area uses, already accounted for in the City's traffic model /mitigation program, and having no impact on intersection congestion (referred to as "pass -by ".traffic). This is based on the convenience store's nature of business, and location relative to competition. The City Engineer and traffic consultant agree that 75% would represent a high estimate of pass through traffic. The City Engineer estimates 50% pass through traffic should be used for calculating peak hour impacts. This means that traffic mitigation payments should be based on 8 trips instead of 16 trips. B14.g.(Pg.16) Traffic Mitigation: $8,000 of traffic mitigation . payments are required for the impacts to the Interurban/ Southcenter Blvd. intersection. B.16.b.(Pg.17) Domestic Water Mitigation: The auto-irrigation system shall be equipped with at least one moisture :sensor to minimize the impact of the project on the domestic water supply. This will keep the system from operating when there is already sufficient ground moisture (e.g., during or just after a rain storm). file :94 \Kimaepa L94 -0008: Supplement to the Environmental Checklist May 23, 1994 Pg.2 B.3.c.(Pg.7) Water runoff: Continuing the existing sheet flow pattern to a street catch basin, as described by the applicant in B.3.b.1.(Pg. 7), may not be sufficient. Surface water runoff will be subject to the normal requirements for a City utility permit. This will likely include new catch basins and storm drain lines. Final design requirements will be established in the utility permit. B.8.a.(Pg.11) Site and Adjacent Land Use: The site is occupied by a building which has been abandoned for over 5 years. It was previously a gas station. Underground tanks have already been removed. All vesting of uses ends after abandonment for 24 consecutive months pursuant to TMC 18.70.040. Adjacent uses include a tavern, apartments, and offices. B.14.a. (Pg.15) Public Streets: Interurban Avenue on the east, provides primary access to the site. It is also bordered on the north by S. 149th Street, which is a steep, substandard, 40 ft. wide road. B.14.d.(Pg.16) Required Road Improvements and Mitigation: Frontal improvements along Interurban Avenue South (e.g., curbs, gutters, sidewalks, utilities, etc.) are required per Board of Architectural Review approval (88- 6 -DR), the Sidewalk Ord. (TMC 11.64), and various other City ordinances. As an alternative, the applicant may execute a developer's agreement to pay a fair - share cost for such improvements when the road is reconstructed in the future. Along S. 149th Street, a five ft. wide right -of -way dedication is required to partially mitigate this substandard road width. The additional right -of -way must be improved with a sidewalk per the Sidewalk Ordinance. However, an asphalt path will be accepted instead of the six foot wide, standard concrete /curbed facility; and the path may be located in a manner to minimize tree removal. The applicant has agreed to continue the existing access pattern to the southern property (currently occupied by the Whitehorse Tavern) and improve the driveway per Tukwila standards. The current pattern provides for vehicle movement across almost all of the joint property line. The project's design approval made provision for alternative landscaping than the normally required 5 ft. side yard strip. For this reason, no side yard landscaping::. is required. Agreement to participate in joint access at the southern'' driveway upon that property's redevelopment will be required in order to not increase the existing number of closely spaced driveways C J`ro1 No. L._ P _ __ Epic File No. �T Fee $ 325 Receipt No. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST A.

Johnso�,1/ 010#A., TG: 93311.00 SUBJECT: INTERURBAN CONVENIENCE STORE - TRAFFIC ANALYSIS This memorandum has been prepared at the request of Ms. Sue Kim of Omnibus Design, your representative for this project. It summarizes the results of our traffic analysis for the proposed Interurban convenience store remodel located in Tukwila. The City of Tukwila has requested an analysis of potential traffic impacts associated with the proposed remodel. The purpose of this analysis is to address the project trip generation, trip assignment, and driveway operations during the PM peak hour (most critical time period). The city may request that pro rata contributions be made to planned improvements in the site vicinity. We have provided an assignment of the project's net impact on vicinity road- ways for the city's use in assessing any potential pro rata contributions. Project Description The proposed site, as shown in Figure 1, fronts the west side of Interurban Avenue S south of S 149th Street. The proposed project consists of remodeling an existing 2,300- square foot (sf) office building into a 2,300 -sf convenience store. Access to the site would be pro- vided by an existing driveway on Interurban Avenue S, which currently serves the office space on the site. Project Traffic The proposed project would be located on a site previously used as an office building. The net increase in project traffic was determined as the difference between the proposed and existing trip generation. Table 1 shows the resulting trip generation for the site.

Approximately 50 percent of peak hour traffic would be associated with existing traffic already passing the site. Table 1 shows a total of 124 PM peak hour vehicle trips (62 in, 62 out) would occur at the site driveway. The proposed site trip generation was estimated using average trip rates for "Convenience Markets" (Land Use 851). Typically, a convenience market has a large por- tion of its traffic coming from motorists who are already passing by the site on their way to another destination. These "pass -by" trips would not impact roadways or intersections outside the immediate site vicinity. Roadways or intersections further from the site would only be impacted by the net "new" trips. A number of studies have been completed to address the issue of trip types related to con- venience stores. Trip Generation lists 20 such studies that have an average pass -by trip percentage of approximately 60 percent. To be conservative, 50 percent of the project -gen- erated trips during the PM peak hour were assumed to be pass -by trips. The pass -by trips were then subtracted from the gross project driveway trips. Thus the off -site PM peak hour trips generated by the proposed remodel are estimated at 62 trips (31 in, 31 out). The existing site trip generation was estimated using regression equations published in Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation, 5th Edition, 1991. "General Office Building' (LU 710) trip generation equations were used in determining the PM peak hour trips generated by the existing facility. The existing office building is estimated to generate 12 trips during the PM peak hour (2 in and 10 out). Therefore, the net off -site traffic impact is 50 trips (29 in, 21 out). Trip distribution patterns for new project trips were estimated based on population and employment centers in the site vicinity and existing travel patterns. 'Trip Characteristics of Convenience Markets with Gas Pumps," published in the July 1987 issue of ITE Jour- nal, estimated that approximately 50 to 60 percent of the total pass -by and new trips originate or end within a two -mile or six- minute radius of a project site. For this reason, most of the new trips were distributed to areas in close proximity to the site. Mr. Charles Hong January 19, 1994 Page 3 The TIaI1Sp0 Gtoup Trip distribution patterns for pass -by trips were determined from existing traffic volumes on roadways adjacent to the site, which show a relatively even split in traffic by direction. Approximately 52 percent of the pass -by trips (16 trips) are expected to come from the north via Interurban Avenue S. The remaining 48 percent (15 trips) would be from the south. The net off -site trip impact is shown in Figure 2. This reflects new project trips less traffic from the existing office use. The pass -by trips would only affect turning movements at the site driveway and thus are not reflected in this assignment. To consider the impacts of pass -by trips combined with new trips from the convenience market, driveway traffic vol- ume forecasts were developed. This is discussed below. Traffic Volumes The City of Tukwila has a permanent count station on Interurban Avenue S just north of Southcenter Boulevard, which is approximately 1/4 mile south of the project site. The city performed a PM peak hour count on Thursday, October 14, 1993, at this location. The PM peak hour was from 3 to 4 p.m. Comparisons to traffic counts taken earlier in 1993 showed that the October traffic count was the closest to the overall average for the 12 -month period of 1993. Therefore, the October count was assumed to represent the 1993 existing traffic volumes on Interurban Avenue S. This location, although a few blocks south of the site, is representative of the through traffic on Interurban Avenue S by the site. This through traffic was used in developing existing and forecast traffic volumes at the site driveway. The 1993 existing traffic volumes at the site driveway are shown in Figure 3. The proposed remodel requires little work and should therefore, be completed and occu- pied before the end of 1994. Existing traffic volumes are forecast to increase by approxi- mately 1.0 percent in 1994. Historical counts on Interurban Avenue S show that at most locations, traffic volumes have decreased in the past three to five years. Therefore the 1.0 percent growth rate is conservatively high. It reflects the assumption that traffic on Interurban Avenue S may grow at a faster rate than it has in the recent past. Traffic vol- umes for 1994 without the proposed remodel were forecast for the purpose of evaluating the project's impact to the site driveway. Project traffic was then added to these back- ground traffic volumes to arrive at the with- project condition. The 1994 without - project and 1994 with - project traffic volumes are also shown in Figure 3. Impacts The proposed remodel project will utilize the existing single site access onto Interurban Avenue S. A level of service (LOS) analysis was performed to determine future operating conditions at the site driveway. Level of service is used to evaluate and quantify operating conditions and traffic congestion. Levels of service values range from LOS A, which is indicative of good operating conditions with little or no delay, to LOS F, indicative of extreme congestion and long vehicle delays. Mr. Charles Hong January 19, 1994 Page 4 Transpo Group For an unsignalized intersection, level of service is based on the reserve (unused) capacity available for each turning movement that conflicts with other turning movements. The reserve capacity is related to gaps in the major street traffic stream. The level of service analysis assumes that vehicles will be able to use the center, two -way, left -turn lane on Interurban Avenue S to facilitate left turns to, as well as from, the pro- posed driveway. The presence of a center -turn lane improves the operation of left turns from the site by allowing a two -step maneuver —left turn to the center lane and then accel- erate into the thru lane. Table 2 shows the results of the level of service analysis. For comparison purposes, level of service values for the 1993 existing and 1994- without -pro- ject conditions are also shown. Table 2.

This level of operation for the left -turn movement out of the site would be considered acceptable during peak periods. This movement would operate at better levels during other times of the day. Other move- ments into and out of the site and the main stream traffic on Interurban would operate at LOS A during the PM peak hour. The City of Tukwila may request pro rata -share contributions for planned roadway improvements in the City of Tukwila's Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program (1994 to 2000 TIP) that are impacted by this project. The pro rata contributions are typi- cally suggested as mitigation for project impacts to city- proposed improvements. However, per our discussions with city staff, the impacts of remodeling this existing office building to a convenience market are relatively small and may not meet minimum thresholds for traffic impacts at planned improvements within the city. If you have any questions or comments regarding this site analysis, please contact Kurt Latt or myself. Thank you again for requesting our assistance with your project.

SEPA comments are very limited on this project. However, depending upon the value of the proposed remodel work, additional development requirements could be significant. Frontal improvements and additional right -of -way dedication (only along South 149th Street) could be triggered. The following are our specific comments: 1. SEPA Comments The only SEPA comment received concerned traffic mitigations at the intersection of Southcenter Boulevard and Interurban Avenue South. Mitigation costs were calculated by the City Engineer to be $9,000.00 and this information was previuosly furnished to you. 2. Miscellaneous Comments A. If frontal improvements are triggered due to the value of the proposed remodel work, the following items will be required as part of the proposed work: ' 1) Frontal improvements along Interurban Avenue South in accordance with the Preliminary Plan and Section for street improvements along this property frontage. This information was previously FAXED to the Highridge. Corporation by Brian Shelton this past December 20th. The southern driveway should be combined with that of the adjacent property to minimize the number of accesses onto Interurban Avenue South. As an alternative to constructing the frontal improvements at the time of the building remodel work, the property owner will be allowed to sign an agreement to reimburse the City for these frontal improvements which will be constructed as part of a future City street improvement project. 2) The dedication of an additional . 5' of right -of -way along South 149th Street and construction of a ped path along this street. B. If frontal improvements are not triggered, the following items will be required as part of the proposed work: 1) The southern driveway should still be combined with that of the adjacent property. 2) Both driveways will need to be constructed in accordance with City standards for commercial driveways. C. Regardless of frontal improvement requirements, the following items shall be included as part of the proposed work: 1) Grease interceptor as part of food preparation facilities. 2) Storm drainage calculations. Catch basin(s) should be provided to collect surface water on -site for conveyance to the public system. A 5,000 or more square foot area with vehicular access requires an oil /water separator. 3) Lowest building floor and other plan elevations shall be referenced to the NGV Datum. 4) Any upgrade in electrical service to the building will require that the service be undergrounded. If you have any questions concerning the above, please let me know.

An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. Instruction for Applicants: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. The City uses this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring.prepara- tion of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise infor- mation known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply ". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shore- line, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the City staff can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The City may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: Nonproject proposals refer to actions which are different or broader than a single site specific development project, such as plans, policies and programs. Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." In addition, complete the supplemental sheet for nonproject actions (part D). For nonproject actions, the 'references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively. f' ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST A.
