CASE NUMBER: L15 -0014
TITLE: Update to TMC 18.58 Wireless Facilities
TOPIC: Amendments to Tukwila's wireless communications facilities regulations to comply
with the Spectrum Act and streamline technology updates by wireless carriers.
LOCATION: Citywide
Nora Gierloff, Deputy Director, Department of Community Development gave the presentation.
She said the wireless regulations were originally adopted in 2006 and there have been considerable changes to
technology since that time. After the passage of the Spectrum Act the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) created new rules for how the City can regulate telecommunication carriers and sets certain parameters
for existed permitted sites. Carriers are allowed to update their facilities if they meet the parameters, which the
City must approve within 60 days. The City currently has three types of permits in the code, and these eligible
facilities modifications fall under the least regulated Type I permit. The City wants to encourage carriers and
make it easier for them to make the best use of existing sites instead of moving on to new monopoles or new
sites. Therefore, the attempt to streamline the process for previously approved sites works well with the
existing code. The proposal does not change the general scheme, and the Spectrum Act does not change the
concept of how wireless facilities are regulated. Additionally, some housekeeping clarifications were proposed
to streamline the process, as well as changes to come into compliance with current case law.

The Port raised the issue of exclusionary devices to discourage birds from nesting on the cell antennas, which
is dangerous for the birds and the public. In order to encourage the bird nesting exclusionary devices staff is
proposing to exempt them from the tower height limits so carriers are not penalized.
There was a walkthrough of the proposed language. Following are the additional proposed changes:
Page 12, section 2, lc, suggested language — "changing or adding additional antennas within a previously
permitted concealed building mounted installation..."
Page 13, Table A, add footnote 4 to "Non- concealed building attached" in the residential district column.
Page 14, replace footnote 4 to read, "Multi- family zones only."
Page 14, paragraph B, revise — delete "co- location" and insert the word, "replacement" following the word
"pole" in the last sentence.
Page 15, 2e - A question was raised on whether a facility would be allowed to be located within a residential
zone, and if there are particular standards. Other questions also raised: Will there be an opportunity for citizen
input; would the facilities be located on City owned property; would the neighborhood be notified if the
facilities are located in a residential neighborhood; would there be a limit to the number of facilities located in
a proximity; could there be multiple towers in an area? There was extensive discussion and several clarifying
questions asked. The Commission had an interest for further discussion regarding this issue, as well as an
interest in some proposed language
Staff said the regulations have been in place since 2006 and there has been pretty good success in keeping the
facilities in the commercial and industrial zones.
Chair Mann proposed if a new tower is constructed in a residential zone that it automatically trigger SEPA.
She said it would give citizens in the community an opportunity to provide input on how the tower will look
and where it would be located. Staff said residents would be notified independently of SEPA if a new tower is
constructed.
Public Testimony:
Kimberly Allen, Bush Law Firm, industry representative thanked staff for working with them on the code
amendments. Ms. Allen said that the majority of the changes are being driven by the new Federal law, the
Spectrum Act. She provided some background on the requirement as stipulated by law and responded to
questions raised by the Commission. Ms. Allen went over a document, which was handed out at the public
hearing requesting additional code modifications. She said that it deals with a code section that was previously
called a height waiver. Changes she recommended are as follows:

18.58.170. Height Waivers Adjustment to Height Standards
Where the Hearing Examiner finds that extraordinary hardships, practical difficulties, or
unnecessary and unreasonable expense would result from strict compliance with the
height limitations of the Zoning Code, or the purpose of these regulations may be served
to a greater extent by an alternative proposal, it may approve an adjustment height waiver
to these regulations; provided that the applicant demonstrates that the waiver(s) will
substantially secure adjustments are consistent with the values, objectives, standards, and
requirements of this Chapter, TMC Title 18, and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and
demonstrate the following:)
1. The granting of the height waiver will not be detrimental to the public safe y, health or
welfare, or injurious to other property, and will promote the public interest; and
21.. A particular and identifiable hardship exists or a specific circumstance warrants the
granting of an adjustment:. waiver. Factors to be considered in determining the existence
of a hardship shall include, but not be limited to:
a. Topography and other site features;
h. Availability of alternative site locations;
c. Geographic location of property; and
d. Size /magnitude of project being evaluated and availability of co- location.
2. In approving the ,aiver adjustment request, the Hearing Examiner may impose such
conditions as it deems appropriate to substantially secure the assure consistency with the
objectives of the values, objectives, standards and requirements of this Chapter, TMC
Title 18, and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
3. A petition for any such waiver adjustment shall be submitted, in writing, by the .
applicant with the application for Hearing Examiner review. The petition shall state fully
the grounds for the adjustment and all of the facts relied upon by the applicant.
(Ord. 2251 §72, 2009; Ord. 2135 §1 (part), 2006)
Staff said that the City Attorney has reviewed the proposed language and after some minor changes was
comfortable with the language. It is up to the Commission whether they approve these policy changes.
Ms. Allen answered several questions from the Commission.
In response to a question raised by Commissioner Alford Ms. Allen rescinded her request to delete the
following language from paragraph 1, "of the Zoning Code."
There was no further testimony.
The public hearing was closed.
The Planning Commission deliberated.
Commissioner Mann was opposed to deleting the following language "the granting of the height waiver, will
not be detrimental to the public..." from the first paragraph as requested by the applicant. She said that it gives
direction to the Hearing Examiner on what the City is looking for. The Commissioners were in consensus
(note: Commissioner Alford was not in the Court Room at present.) Ms. Allen proposed that the paragraph be
moved from paragraph one to paragraph two so it could be a Hearing Examiner's decision.
Chair Mann asked for a motion accepting the green line document received from the applicant with the
following exceptions:
1. The proposal to delete "of the Zoning Code " — denied, language will remain
3
2. The proposal to delete paragraph 1 was approved, but the language inserted instead at the end of the
sentence at 2 "and to ensure that the granting of the height waiver will not be detrimental to the public
safety, health or welfare, or injurious to other property, and will promote the public interest."
Commissioner Maestas made a motion to approve the applicant's green line document as revised, as noted by
Chair Mann. Commissioner Hansen seconded the motion. All were in favor.
Commissioner Hansen made a motion to forward the recommendations for Case Number L15 -0014 to the
City Council for their approval with staff's findings, conclusions, and the approved noted revisions.
Commissioner Strander seconded the motion. All were in favor.

and Sign Codes. Based on direction from the Planning Commission
staff will revise the ordinances and then the Planning Commission's
final recommendations will then be forwarded to the City Council for
review and adoption.

BACKGROUND
Staff has grouped amendments to the Zoning, Subdivision, SEPA and Sign Codes together for
your consideration. Staff briefed the Community Affairs and Parks Committee on February 22,
2016 and the Committee has sent these to the Planning Commission for review and
recommendation. The Council will hold a hearing on the Planning Commission recommended
changes and adopt final ordinances.
DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED CHANGES
A. Proposed Title 18 Zoning Code Changes
1. The housekeeping code amendments adopted in 2009 addressed the
recommendations by Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA) to use a hearing
examiner to the maximum extent allowed by law for quasi - judicial land use decisions.
Tukwila City Hall • 6200 Southcenter Boulevard • Tukwila, WA 98188 • 206 - 433 -1800 • Website: TukwilaWA.gov 5
As a result of WCIA's recommendation the land use decision tables listed under TMC
18.104 were amended. However the procedures section of the code still references the
old process and in places is inconsistent with the amended procedures listed under
TMC 18.104. The proposed amendments at this time would make the different sections
of the Zoning Code consistent with the procedures listed under TMC 18.104. The
sections of the code that are proposed to be updated include:
a. TMC18.70.040 (Non- conforming uses);
b. 18.56.040 (parking deviations are reviewed by the hearing examiner instead of the
Board of Architectural Review));
c. 18.100.050 (Preliminary Plats are reviewed by the hearing examiner /Board of
Architectural Review instead of City Council);
d. 18.64 (Conditional Use permits are reviewed by the hearing examiner instead of the
Planning Commission).
2. Add an Assisted Living Facility definition and list it as a permitted /conditional use where
convalescent center use is allowed and consider assisted living facility for seniors
similar to a senior citizen housing. See Attachment A for the proposed and existing
definitions and the list of zones where these are permitted. The zoning map can be
found online at http: / /www.tukwilawa.gov /wp- content /uploads /Comp -Plan Zoning -
Map.pdf
3. Delete the list of permitted uses in each separate zoning district chapter and create a
new chapter with Zoning Code Use Matrix. See Exhibit A to Title 18 Ordinance for the
matrix and the existing list of uses that the matrix would replace are attached as
Attachment B.
4. Incorporate code interpretations in Tukwila Municipal Code: Alternate Fuel Stations are
treated similarly to other automotive services; Arenas are a permitted use in TUC -TOD;
Brewery /Taprooms are permitted in TUC -WP; Townhouses are not limited to four -
plexes in HDR.
5. Amend the zoning code variance criteria to include a criterion that variances are not
permitted when the undue hardship is created by the actions of the applicant. This is
standard in other municipal codes but is only listed under the purpose section of the
Tukwila Municipal Code and not as a separate criterion.
6. With the adoption of the new Tukwila Urban Center Zoning height limits a few existing
buildings that are taller than 45 feet became non - conforming. This results in some
unintended consequences for the owners for insurance purposes. Amend the code to
"grandfather" in pre- existing buildings that are taller than 45 feet.
2
6
7. Clarify that single family dwelling design standards such as the minimum roof pitch of
5:12 apply to accessory structures such as detached garages that require a building
permit.
8. Housing Options Program that included regulations for cottage and compact single
family development expired in 2008. The proposed ordinance would delete Chapter
18.120 from the Tukwila Municipal Code.
B. Proposed Title 17 Subdivision and Plat Changes
1. State Law was amended to allow seven years for a preliminary subdivision to get final
approval. However Tukwila Municipal Code states five years. Amend Tukwila Municipal
Code to make it consistent with the State Law.
C. Proposed Title 21 SEPA Changes
1. Update TMC 21.04.110 and 21.04.152 to be consistent with the updated State Law
provisions related to SEPA rules. The Department of Ecology has updated the SEPA
rules resulting in some incorrect references in Tukwila Municipal Code.
2. Update the plans listed under TMC 21.04.270. The list references old plans such as
1995 Comprehensive Plan; Parks and Open Space Plan adopted by Ordinance 1315
etc.
3. Revise the SEPA ordinance to track development proposals in the Tukwila Urban Center.
A Supplemental EIS (SEIS) prepared in 2014 focused on potential impacts associated with
increased intensity of development proposed for Tukwila's Urban Center, as established in
the Southcenter Subarea Plan. Future project- specific development proposals that are
consistent with the Southcenter Subarea Plan, new Tukwila Urban Center (TUC)
development regulations, and the SEIS do not require individual SEPA review and
cannot be challenged administratively or judicially pursuant to SEPA. This provides
certainty and predictability for urban development proposals by streamlining the
environmental review process within the subarea and encouraging the goals of SEPA
and the State's Growth Management Act. The City's SEPA ordinance must be revised
to include a process for tracking projects that meet the criteria and are exempt from
SEPA.
D. Proposed Title 19 Sign Code Changes
1. Remove references to political signs and any other content based language in light of
Supreme Court's ruling on Reed v. Town of Gilbert where the court ruled that content
based regulations such as different regulations for political signs are unconstitutional.
3
7
2. Update TMC 19.20.050 to clarify that the allowable area for incentive signage is 50%
of the maximum otherwise allowed.
3. Add language to provide the Director flexibility to provide permit extensions longer
than 30 days.
4. Allow one additional building mounted sign for multi- tenant complexes which do not
qualify for the master sign program.
5. Revise maximum size requirements for fuel canopy signs from a maximum of 5 sq. ft.
to 10 sq. ft. or one third of the area of the canopy whichever is less.
REQUESTED ACTION
Review each proposed change, hold the public hearing on the proposed changes and make a
recommendation to the City Council.
