None at this time. The City of Tukwila may initiate additional annexations in the context of regional agreements which are part of Growth Management Planning. 8. List any environmental information you know about that has been prepared, or will be prepared, directly related to this proposal. None. SEPA Environmental Checklist Per TMC 21.04 and WAC 197 -11 Page 2 Ox Bow Annexation, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning. 9. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes, explain. None known. 10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal. Approval by the King County Boundary Review Board and the Tukwila City Council. 11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. Section E requires a complete description of the objectives and alternates of your proposal and should not be summarized here. The Desimone Trust has requested that the City of Tukwila annex its properties which lie within the Ox Bow area, as shown on the map of Attachment A, pursuant to RCW 35A.14.120 (i.e., property owner petition). The annexation area includes approximately 172 acres. No construction is directly related to this annexation proposal. The City Council reviewed the annexation request and authorized staff to go forward on May 3rd, 1993 in Resolution No. 1255. In this resolution, the Council expanded the boundaries of the annexation area to its present location in order to establish logical service areas and approved the applicant's request for establishing the zoning which would be adopted simultaneous with an annexing ordinance. State statute specifies that Tukwila's Planning Commission must recommend the area's zoning to the Council. After the Planning Commission makes a comprehensive plan and zoning recommendation, the City Council will hold two public hearings which are thirty days apart. The scope of the City Council's public hearings will include zoning, comprehensive plan, and all other annexation issues (e.g., service provision, costs, revenues, and the annexation preferences of residents, businesses, and owners). 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably SEPA Environmental Checklist Per TMC 21.04 and WAC 197 -11 Page 3 Ox Bow Annexation, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning. available. while you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist. The annexation area is commonly referred to as the "Ox Bow," located in Section 4, Township 23, Range 4N; Seattle, Washington. The area is specifically described in Attachment A. 13. Does the proposal lie within an area designated on the City's Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan Map as environmentally sensitive? No. Tukwila's existing comprehensive plan does not extend to this area so there is no applicable designation. The only environmental feature is the Duwamish River (see ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS). The proposed regulations upon annexation would incorporate King County's Shoreline Management Plan. B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS 1. Earth a. General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other. Environmental review was based on land and river areas. The annexation land area is generally flat, cleared of significant mature trees, except for several large trees in the southern residential area and bounded along its eastern perimeter by the steep- banked, Duwamish River. This is similar to the eastern industrial areas across the Duwamish River. Land areas are separated from other westerly areas by the four lane SR -99 and steep undeveloped hillsides. Access to SR -99 is prohibited except for a north -bound on /off -ramp in this area. The Duwamish River represents a significant environmentally sensitive area. The annexation area is at the northern- most reach of navigable waterway on the Duwamish River. There is significant water and sediment contamination from existing and past waste out - falls, the bank requires stabilization along several segments, an Indian tribe is interested in re- establishing a salmon run in a now degraded stream /slough which may affect the urgency of sediment clean -up, and the riverside is desired as part of a regional trail system. b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent SEPA Environmental Checklist Per TMC 21.04 and WAC 197 -11 Page 4 Ox Bow Annexation, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning. slope)? River bank areas approach a 1:1 slope vertical in some sections. c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland. The flat terrain is composed of fill which is a sand /clay mixture. d.

Indicate what hours noise would come from the site. None. Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any: None. 8. Land and Shoreline Use a. What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties? Private lands in the annexation area are almost fully developed as industrial uses or support facilities, except for a small area of approximately six single family residences in the extreme south end of the Ox Bow. These areas are shown in Attachment B. Industrial uses in the annexation area include a large container storage /transfer yard and a maritime salvage operation in the northern half, and Boeing industrial buildings in the southern half. Across the Duwamish River to the immediate east, are associated Boeing aircraft manufacturing facilities. East and west bank facilities are connected by two private road bridges. SEPA Environmental Checklist Per TMC 21.04 and WAC 197 -11 Page 9 Ox Bow Annexation, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning. The area is surrounded in the east, and north by industrial uses, in the south by the SR -99 /SR -599 freeway interchange, and to the west by a steep hillside on which single family residences are sited. b. Has the site been used for agriculture? If so, describe. No. c. Describe any structures on the site. The annexation area has three large industrial buildings, 6 to 9 single family houses in marginal condition, and several small (less than 1,000 s.f.) wood frame office buildings. See B.8.a. d. Will any structures be demolished? If so, what? No. e. What is the current zoning classification of the site? King County has designated the entire annexation area as Heavy Industrial in its Comprehensive Plan. The County has zoned all these areas MH (Heavy Manufacturing) except for a small southern residential area which has been zoned RS7200. Area zoning is shown in Attachment C. f. What is the current comprehensive plan designation of the site? g- Heavy Industrial. If applicable, what is the current shoreline master program designation of the site? Urban. h. Has any part of the site been classified as an "environmentally sensitive" area? If so, specify. King County has designated the Duwamish River as an environmentally sensitive area. i. Approximately how many people would reside or work in the completed project? There would be no change in the existing residential or worker population as a direct result of this annexation, comprehensive planning, or zoning. The proposed Tukwila comprehensive plan designation of Heavy Industrial and zoning designation of M -2 (Heavy Industry) is equivalent to the existing County comprehensive plan and zoning designations. Tukwila also proposes a height exception area to allow 115 ft. buildings, but no additional impacts from this additional development potential is anticipated. SEPA Environmental Checklist Per TMC 21.04 and WAC 197 -11 Page 10 Ox Bow Annexation, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning. j. Approximately how many people would the completed project displace? None. This is a non - project proposal. k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if any: None. 1. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing and projected land uses and plans, if any: The following FINDINGS have been made to establish the appropriateness of Tukwila's proposed comprehensive plan and zoning designations. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FINDINGS 1. A review of land uses in the annexation area and associated surrounding sites demonstrate the industrial character of the overall area (see B.1.a). 2. Tukwila's "Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map" descriptive policies discuss two type of industrial areas: "Light industrial: Industrial areas characterized by distributive and light manufacturing uses, commercial and office uses." "Heavy industrial: Industrial areas characterized by heavy or bulk manufacturing uses, distributive and light manufacturing uses, commercial and office uses." 3. Existing land uses in the annexation area and in associated areas to the immediate east, are characterized has having a heavy industrial character (see B.8.a.) based on the above policies. 4. A Heavy Industrial designation in Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan for the entire area would mirror both: a. the area's existing Heavy Industrial designation in the King County Comprehensive Plan and b. the Heavy Industrial designation of associated areas to the immediate east in the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan. 6. The approximately six single family residences to the south do not seem to be a viable long -term use due to the location between a busy freeway, anticipated heavy industrial activities in the north, and the heavy industrial uses across the river. The 2 -3 remaining residential structures have been bought and boarded -up by Metro. SEPA Environmental Checklist Per TMC 21.04 and WAC 197 -11 Page 11 Ox Bow Annexation,' Comprehensive Plan and Zoning. 7. A heavy industrial designation for this area would mirror all other Tukwila and King County areas to the north, which lie to the east of SR -99. ZONING FINDINGS 8. Areas designated as Heavy Industrial on the Comprehensive Plan may be given a Tukwila zone of M -2 or M -2L. The purpose of each district and a summary of legislative discussion is shown below. N -2 "18.42.010 Purpose The purpose of this district is to provide an appropriate area for a broad range of uses, some of which may be characterized as having significant environmental impacts in terms of air and water pollution, noise, vibration, glare and odor." 9. The development patterns in the Ox Bow area (see B.8.a.) indicate the appropriateness of an M -2 zone. 10. The single family use area could be zoned M -2 in order to reflect the Comprehensive Plan designation. Single family residences would continue to be permitted uses in the M -2 zone. 11. Ox Bow industrial areas are bordered on the north, south, and east by Building Height Exception Area, pursuant to TMC 18.50.030 which permits outright, structures up to and including 115 ft. in height (Attachment D). Extending the same Building Height Exception Area across the river to the annexation area would recognize the similar nature of existing land use (B.8.a.) and the environment (B.1.a.). 9. Housing a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicate whether high, middle, or low- income housing? None. b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated? Indicate whether high, middle, or low- income housing. None. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any: None. SEPAL Environmental Checklist Per TMC 21.04 and WAC 197 -11 Page 12 Ox Bow Annexation, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning. 10. Aesthetics a. What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas; what is the principal exterior building material(s) proposed? No structures are proposed. b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed? None. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any: None. 11. Light and Glare a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly occur? None. b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views? N /A. c. What existing off -site sources of light or glare may affect your proposal? None. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts, if any: None. 12. Recreation a. What designed and informal recreational opportunities are in the immediate vicinity? The Duwamish River is a significant visual and micro - climatic resource, there is a regional bicycle /pedestrian trail route planned along the river bank and a recreational river crossing is planned in the general area. b. Would the proposed project displace any existing recreational uses? If so, describe. No. SEPA Environmental Checklist Per TMC 21.04 and WAC 197 -11 Page 13 Ox Bow Annexation, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts on recreation, including recreation opportunities to be provided by the project or applicant, if any: None. a. Are there any places or objects listed on, or proposed for, national, state, or local preservation registers known to be on or next to the site? If so, generally describe. None known. b. Generally describe any landmarks or evidence of historic, archaeological, scientific, or cultural importance known to be on or next to the site. None known. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts, if any: Not applicable. 14. Transportation a. Identify public streets and highways serving the site, and describe proposed access to the existing street system. Show on site plans, if any. Public vehicular access to the area is limited to West Marginal Place So.; a two lane road with a 20 to 50 ft. right -of way. This road is accessed from S. 116th St. and East Marginal Way. Two privately owned bridges join Boeing industrial operations on both sides of the Duwamish River. These bridges are not open to the public, although there do not seem to be any barriers to public vehicle access on one. No direct impacts to area access is anticipated due to annexation. b. Is the site currently served by public transit? If not, what is the approximate distance to the nearest transit stop? No. Approximately 1/2 mile across a private bridge over the Duwamish River. The nearest transit stop is otherwise 1 -1/2 mile away via West Marginal Way S. to 116th Street South. c. How many parking spaces would the completed project have? How many would the project eliminate? N /A. d. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or improvements to existing roads or streets, not including driveways? If so, generally describe (indicate whether public or SEPA Environmental Checklist Per TMC 21.04 and WAC 197 -11 Page 14 Ox Bow Annexation, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning. private). No. e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail, or air transportation? If so, generally describe. No. f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project? If known, indicate when peak volumes would occur. No changes in vehicular trips directly this proposal are anticipated. g. Proposed measures to reduce or control if any: None. 15. Public Services attributable to transportation impacts, a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for example: fire protection, police protection, health care, schools, other)? If so, generally describe. None. This is a non - project proposal. b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any. None necessary. 16. Utilities a. Circle utilities currently available at the site: electricity, natural gas, water, refuse service, telephone, sanitary sewer, septic system, other. The commercially developed area is served with sewer, water and storm drainage facilities. Water is provided by the City of Seattle, sewerage is provided by the Val Vue Sewer District, and storm drainage is privately provided except for short stretches of drainage along roadways. Storm drain lines flow to the Duwamish River. The single family area has water from the City of Seattle and septic systems. No significant storm drain facilities exist in the residential area and standing water is a frequent occurrence. The combination of septic systems and standing water may be significant. Residential property owners declined to extend sewer lines to the houses, as they considered such uses as transitional (Matlitch, Val Vue Sewer District Engineer, 5/10/93). k: 1t; u': k::X va: cGS71?: J:.'::: v«: W`. e: �n.::^ Sre.�z�ft.n:.;3oL'Ar. *.t;.5, =:� iB�At" 1�Y:: ie;Y&C4t,i- t;:7;�E�f3�2rLd,�. <: vFi ,y t !<114- rs:�cassiate:a;:��.xrs; �c,= �,_ e. lstr�:' �: ej... d.: r3fY�dt ;.v2S1''4;ttiv�!�L°viS{t�...< mss.' %�i ^i�t:.',+£uz�:"" ?';i.

D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (do not use this sheet for project actions) Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment. When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms. 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? No increase in emissions or hazardous substances directly attributable to this proposal are anticipated. Future development could increase discharge to water and emissions from traffic. This development will be reviewed at the time of application for environmental impacts on an individual and cumulative basis. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: See D.1. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? No effects on plants or wildlife are anticipated as a direct result of this proposal for zoning. See D.1. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: None. 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? No depletion of natural resources directly attributable to this proposal are anticipated. See D.1. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: None. 4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic SEPA Environmental Checklist Per TMC 21.04 and WAC 197 -11 Page 17 Ox Bow Annexation, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning. rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands? No increased environmental impacts are anticipated as a result to this annexation, comprehensive plan designation or zoning designation. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: None. 5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? No significant short -term changes are anticipated. King County's Shoreline Management Plan would continue to be in effect after the annexation. In the long -term, Tukwila does propose to revise its shoreline management plan to encompass this river segment as part of a Growth Management Plan. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: None. How does the proposal conform to the Tukwila Shoreline Master Plan? N /A. 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? This proposal will not directly affect demand for public services, transportation or utilities. Future development may increase demand for these services; however, such impacts would be addressed through environmental review of individual projects. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: None. 7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. This proposal will not conflict with any known environmental laws. 8. Does the proposal conflict with policies of the Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan? If so, what policies of the Plan? No; the proposal is consistent with the Plan. See 8.8.1. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce the conflict(s) are: r.;�:ancw- iicvsai+s.13, —,, ,f.,r•,,,,,V. .
