Re: South Riverton Heights Subarea Plan SEIS Project
Dear Interested - Party: --
This letter is to update you on the status of the South Riverton Heights Subarea Plan. The City
appreciates the participation and thoughtful comments of the many residents and property owners in the
Subarea who have worked with staff throughout the past year.
As you may know, the Port of Seattle's plans to expand and develop their "L- shape" property in the
South Riverton Heights Subarea have been delayed indefinitely, due to recent changes to their capital
budget. These financial changes are largely due to the downturn in the aviation industry following the
tragic events of September 11, 2001.
Since the need to address the impacts of the Port's expansion/development was one of the primary
reasons the City decided to work on a new plan for the South Riverton Heights Subarea, it seems
prudent to wait for the Port's plans to be resolved before putting more effort into the Subarea Plan at
this time. Indeed, this is the message that the City received from most of the citizens who attended the
October 24, 2001 public meeting at Tyee High School. The SeaTac City Council agrees. Therefore,
the City has decided to put the South Riverton Heights Subarea Plan on hold until further notice.
We expect that the earliest the City would resume work on this project is Autumn of this year. We will
inform you via letter, and include notices on the City's website and in the Seattle Times when we
decide to resume the project and begin holding public meetings again.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the postponement of this project, please feel free to call
me at (206) 241 -1893.
Sincerely, .
Michael C. Scare

Property Tax Information
King County Tax Assessor's Office, Commercial Appraisers: (206)
296 -5144.
Your property tax is determined from two things — assessed value, and
levy rate:
Assessed Value of Property (Determined by County Tax Assessor)
X Levy Rate (Includes City, County, State, Port, School
Dist., Library, and EMS rates)
Amount of Tax $ Paid
Example:
Assessed Value of Property: $100,000
X Levy Rate (per 1,000): 11.98
Amount of Tax $ Paid: $1,198
If you call the Assessor's office and ask "will my taxes go up ? ", they
will refer you to the City, since the City sets the levy rate. You want to
get information about how the assessed value of your property might
change, and use that information in the formula given above, to see
what the effect would be on your property taxes.
So ask if the assessed value of your property would change if:
• the Comprehensive Plan designation was changed from
residential to commercial, but the property was not rezoned?
• your property was rezoned from residential to commercial?
• if the use of the properties around you were changed from
residential to commercial?

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Junel8 - June 22, 2001
DEVELOPMENT
Grand Central Casino — 14040 Interurban Avenue S (formerly Las Vegas Casino)
A development permit was determined complete and is being reviewed by the various
departments. The proposal is for 1,353 sq ft addition to an existing 14,304 sq ft building.
This proposal still needs to obtain the necessary land use permit approvals prior to
issuance of any permits through the Permit Center.
OTHER
Light Rail - Daniel Brand of the Charles River Associates will be in Tukwila Monday, June 25.
He will spend the morning reviewing light rail ridership issues and documentation with staff, and
will meet with Don Billen at Sound Transit in the afternoon. Accurate ridership information will
be critical to Sound Transit's reconsideration of light rail routing and termini in South King
County. We have been concerned for some time that Sound Transit's ridership assumptions and
methodology fails to recognize the likely future ridership potential in the Southcenter /Longacres
area. New ridership figures also raise questions about the ridership potential of a South 154th
Street Station, if the rail line does not extend to the airport.
S. Riverton Heights Subarea Plan - The City of SeaTac held a meeting to discuss the S. Riverton
Heights Subarea Plan on Wed. June 20. There were approximately 75 residents at the meeting
who live in or just outside the area. Staff from the Port of Seattle were also there to discuss the
development of their 25 acres of land, which is located within the area, for cargo and the
potential acquisition of an additional 20 acres. Expansion of cargo use into this area and
dedication of a cargo only bridge across SR 518 is their objective. This would be in addition to
the state's improvement of a full interchange and improved access to SR 518.
The City is refining alternatives to consider for the subarea plan and are proposing the
preparation of a supplemental EIS. The City of Tukwila provided input during the comment
period. Most of the residents were opposed to any change and were also negative about the Port
proposal to acquire additional property when they already own significant acreage just to the
west, west of 24 Av. S. and north, as well as significant land to the south of the runways.

Subject: South Riverton Heights Subarea Plan
Dear Steve:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the scope of the EIS and the alternatives to be considered in
your subarea plan. The City of Tukwila has a great interest in the planning for this area. We are
expending considerable effort in revitalizing and redeveloping the commercial as well as residential
neighborhoods along Tukwila International BL. A comprehensive review of the environmental impacts
should be included in the EIS; in addition, we feel the following elements merit special attention.
Land Use
Recent economic analyses have identified a limited local consumer market as a significant barrier to short
and medium term redevelopment of the Tukwila International Boulevard Corridor. Previous residential
buy -outs by the Port of Seattle have contributed to this situation. What will be the impact of eliminating
additional housing through redevelopment under the plan's alternatives?
A second factor limiting redevelopment of the commercial corridor has to do with the readily available
commercial properties in close proximity. How will the plan's alternatives affect the local market for
commercial property? How will these market impacts affect land use along Tukwila International
Boulevard?
Housing
How will the loss of housing units affect SeaTac's ability to achieve its housing unit and affordable
housing targets under the County-wide Planning Policies for King County?
Surface Water
There will be significant change in impervious coverage; therefore, the potential significant impact to the
storm water system and overall basin water quality should be assessed.
Transportation
Traffic patterns and volumes in the area are changing as traffic volumes grow and as the Port of Seattle
residential buyout areas convert to nonresidential uses. These changes as well as the proposed subarea
alternatives will have a cumulative impact on the transportation system.
Transition scenarios should be mapped and evaluated so that the success of redeveloping this
neighborhood is understood and the impacts of the change analyzed. For example, the ownership pattern
6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665
should be discovered in order to understand the possible success or sequence of conversion of the low
density residential area to business park or commercial area. How will the remnant residential portions of
this neighborhood be impacted by noise, traffic and other commercial activity impacts during this
transition? How will the infrastructure systems be improved — initially, gradually or ultimately and how
will the costs and timing be integrated into SeaTac's CIP?
Finally, how are the proposed land use alternatives being integrated with the planning for the high
capacity transit station at S. 154 St. and the planning for the Aviation Commercial (AVC) area, which we
understand might expand?
We look forward to working with you on this subarea plan. If you have any questions, please call me at
431 -3670.
Best Regards,
Steve Lancaster, Director

Public Meeting
May 16, 2001
Questionnaire Results
22 questionnaires were completed and returned to City Staff at the meeting. Following is a
summary of the responses contained in those questionnaires.
1. What are the three issues that are most important to you?
The majority listed the following:
• traffic patterns /congestion
• property values
• quality of life
Many do not want the rezone to take place, as they fear displacement of residents and loss of
the area's residential character.
2. What do you see as the top three transportation issues?
• traffic flow (congestion)
• increased traffic
• inadequate alternatives to automobile transportation
3. What do you see as the top three land use issues?
• preservation of the area's residential character
• impacts on property values and tax rates
• inadequate impact analysis (environmental and social)
4. Other comments /concerns:
• the lack of frequent public transportation makes the area unprepared for
commercial and high - density residential development.
• unsure why the rezone is being proposed at all.

South Riverton Heights Subarea Plan EIS
City of SeaTac is developing a land use plan for the area shaded on the map below, the South
Riverton Heights Subarea Plan. We would like to invite you to participate in the process. The first
public meeting to discuss this plan was held on May 16, and a summary of the comments received
at that meeting is attached. We have revised the land use alternatives based on the comments
received, and will hold a Second meeting to discuss those revised alternatives, and continue
discussion of other related issues. The second meeting is scheduled for:
Wednesday, June 20
6:30 p.m. — Open House
7:00 p.m. — Public Meeting
in the Gym at:
North SeaTac Park Community Center
13735 24th Avenue South
SeaTac WA, 98168.
The City will be studying 4 alternatives ranging from "no change" to a combination of Business
Park and Commercial Medium Density, and will be preparing a Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement (SEIS) as part of the project. The City has identified the following areas for
discussion in the SEIS:
• Transportation
• Land use
• Air quality
• Water
• Housing
• Public Services
An additional public meeting is planned for
August 8, 2001 and a Public Hearing is
tentatively scheduled for September 10.
Please note that these dates may change.
The SeaTac Planning Advisory Committee
(PAC) will be reviewing the plan and Draft SEIS at its regular meetings, which are the first and
third Mondays of each month. PAC meetings are held at 5:30 in the Council Chamber at City Hall.

City of SeaTac Comprehensive Plan
FUTURE LAND USE
DESIGNATIONS
The preferred land use alternative is depicted on the City of SeaTac's
Preferred Land Use Alternative Map (see page 1 -17 in the Land Use
Element). There are several different land use designations on the Future
Land Use Map, which fall into one of the following broad categories:
• Residential
• Commercial
• . Business Park/Industrial/Airport Industrial
• Park/Other
RESIDENTIAL LAND USE DESIGNATIONS.
Residential - Low Density (Single - Family)
Land within the Residential - Low Density areas are, and will continue
to be, primarily single - family in nature. The intent of this designation
is to stabilize and protect existing single - family residential
neighborhoods.
Accessory units (sometimes called "mother -in -law units ") will be
allowed in single - family designations in order to provide additional-
housing opportunities and income sources for homeowners.
Single- family areas will be served by bus and a growing network of
sidewalks and bicycle paths. Open space will be provided at schools
and neighborhood parks, with larger facilities located within North
SeaTac and Angle Lake Parks.
The single - family designations will be buffered from higher intensity:
uses by landscaping/buffering and "transitional" residential: uses,
including townhouses and small scale, residentially oriented, mixed -
use development. This will promote the stabilization and
enhancement of single - family neighborhoods.
Residential - Medium Density
Residential - Medium Density areas are residential areas to be located
between higher density uses and single - family residences. These areas
will be primarily residential in character, with some supporting
residentially oriented commercial uses. Building heights will be
limited to four stories, with possible height bonuses through a
conditional use process or special administrative /staff review.
Examples of the»types of uses that would be found in this designation
are two to four story and townhouses. Some mixed -use
Al 20
Land Use Background Report
residential - commercial buildings containing services like dry cleaning,
doctor's offices, hair salons, coffee shops and video stores will also be
allowed at specific sites. Careful attention will be given to the amount
and type of commercial uses to ensure project feasibility and maximize
the positive impacts of these business uses in residential areas. In
Residential- Medium Density areas, a range of different types of open
space will be provided, from decks and balconies, to small yards and
pocket parks. Parking will be integrated into the site plan to reduce
its'visual impact. Where possible, alleys should be used to separate
service access and parking from the street frontage.
Residential - High Density
The intent of the Residential - High Density designation is to promote
the development of a high density .residential area that complements
the bordering high density commercial area. Together, these areas
will form the core of SeaTac's urban center. •
Heights will be limited only by FAA requirements, and building
setbacks on the ground floors will be minimal. Public open space will
be provided in neighborhood pocket parks and plazas. Private open
space will be provided through terraces, courtyards, and private
balconies. In this designation, commercial uses will be allowed on the
first floors of buildings. Such commercial activities will be primarily
oriented toward serving the needs of the residents.
COMMERCIAL LAND. USE DESIGNATIONS
Commercial Mixed Use - Low Intensity
Some areas along International Boulevard will be outside the 1/4 to
1/2 mile radius from a proposed transit station location and will not be
within easy walking distance to a high capacity transit station.
Consequently, these areas would not benefit from high intensity,
transit- supportive land uses. These areas could, however, potentially
be served by the personal rapid transit (PRT) system. The areas
designated as Commercial Mixed Use - Low Intensity will provide
opportunities to retain many of the necessarily auto - oriented, small
scale uses that make up the present character of International
Boulevard.
Examples of this type of development include nurseries, . hardware and
home supply stores, car sales, automotive repair garages, and
department stores. Guidelines for businesses in these areas will be
directed at improving their function and visual appearance. It is
expected that there will be minimal housing in these designated areas.
Transit service would consist of bus service and possible PRT.
Al - 21.
City of SeaTac Comprehensive Plan
Commercial Mixed Use - Medium Intensity
The Commercial Mixed Use - Medium Intensity designation
anticipates a lower intensity of development than the High Intensity
designation. Building heights will be around 5 -7 stories with
additional stories (up to 12) allowed through a bonus system..
Typical activities will include dense corporate parks, individual office
buildings, smaller hotels and restaurants, and relatively dense,retail
developments. Developers will be encouraged to mix uses, either
within an individual building or, within different buildings on a -
multiple building development site. Mid -rise apartments or mixed,
residential/commercial developments could be built within this area.
Structured parking will also be encouraged in this area, but may not
be as feasible due to the lower intensity of development. As with the
High Intensity designation, developers will be encouraged to locate
surface parking in a way that allows for redevelopment as structured
parking becomes feasible.
Commercial Mixed Use - High Intensity
The Commercial Mixed Use - High Intensity designation allows the
highest concentration of development. The building heights in this
area will be limited only by FAA height limits. Activities within this
designation will include hotels, office towers and high density housing.
Retail and service- oriented businesses will be encouraged to locate
within the first floors of large scale, multi -story developments. Some
of these commercial activities would be oriented toward employees, .
providing them with convenience shopping, eating establishments and
places to complete daily errands without having to drive. Other
commercial activities such as specialty shops, restaurants, and movie
theaters could be oriented to serve City residents and travellers staying
at hotels. Some opportunities may also exist for convention center
activities. The SeaTac Office Center and the Red Lion Hotel are some
examples of the types of development that are envisioned for , the
Commercial Mixed Use - High Intensity designation:
Structured parking will be encouraged as land values make this
feasible. In the interim, while surface parking is still necessary,
developers will be encouraged to orient their site plans to allow for
redeveloping the surface parking at a later date.
Developers will be encouraged to provide open spaces, eating and
sitting areas within their projects. - The City will also . work to
encourage the provision of small pocket parks.: A transit center will
be developed through public /private development to provide a high
Al -22
. Land Use Background .Repor , t .
level of convenient multi -modal transit service. The Personal Rapid
Transit (PRT) system could eventually link development within these
areas to the Airport and other large developments. Some form of high
capacity transit (HCT) could provide an efficient transit link to the rest
of the region.
Aviation Business Center
The Aviation Business Center (ABC) land use designation reflects the
existing/potential ABC zoning and related development standards.
One purpose of the designation is to promote a major center
supporting high concentrations of customers, visitors, employees, and
pedestrian activity to create a quality development area in which
people can work, shop and access child care. A second, related
purpose is to create a development: area with a business orientation to
the airport and compatible with airport operations.
This designation will encourage flexible development programs to
improve the design, character, and quality of new development,
facilitate the provision of streets and utilities, and preserve natural and
scenic features. The ABC area also establishes minimum lot.sizes to .
encourage projects of sufficient scale to increase the viability of high
capacity transit and PRT in this area.
BUSINESS PARK /INDUSTRIAL LAND USE
DESIGNATIONS
Business Park Low
The purpose of this designation is to allow for low density business
land uses related to airport and high technology activities. Most of
this area is currently zoned and will continue to be zoned as "Airport
Use (AU)." It could be served by private automobiles and possible
the PRT system.
Business Park Medium
The Business Park Medium designation would allow non - polluting
business, such as biotechnology, non - polluting light manufacturing,
electronics, computer technology or, communications equipment
establishments. Land uses with significant impacts, such as truck
terminals; would be expressly prohibited.
Land uses with the following impacts or effects will be prohibited
from Business Park Medium areas:
• Emit significant quantities of dust, dirt, cinders, smoke, gases,
fumes, odors or vapors into the atmosphere;
Al -22.
City of SeaTac Comprehensive Plan
• Emit any liquid or solid wastes or o ther matter into any stream,
river, or other waterway;
• Emit radiation or discharges glare or heat, or emits
electromagnetic, microwave, ultrasonic, laser or other radiation
levels over what is considered safe by the FCC;
• Emit radiation or discharges glare or heat, or emits
electromagnetic, microwave, ultrasonic, laser or other radiation
levels that would adversely impact electronic equipment of
residences or businesses outside of the boundaries of the property
the business is located;
• Heavy trucking as a principal use such as truck terminals;
• Produce excessive noise or ground vibration perceptible without
instruments at any point exterior to any lot; and
• Utilize open storage.
Design and lot coverage standards for Business Park Medium areas
will be implemented to foster high quality development and to
minimize the impacts of such development.
Airport Industrial
This designated area provides for the Seattle- Tacoma International
Airport and high intensity airport- related facilities and activities.
Industrial
The purpose of this designation is to provide . for the location and
grouping of industrial enterprises and activities involving
manufacturing, assembly, fabrication, processing, bulk handling,
storage, warehousing and heavy. trucking. These areas could be
served by both automobiles.
PARK /OTHER LAND USE DESIGNATIONS
Park
This designation identifies park and open space areas to be used for
outdoor passive and active recreation uses, conservation and
protection of municipal watersheds, wildlife corridors and habitats.

development patterns. Public infrastructure financing and regulatory
incentives will be directed to the HCT Districts.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LAND USE PLAN MAP
AND THE ZONING MAP
The designations on the Land Use Plan Map depict both existing and
future land uses within the City of SeaTac. In some cases, such as with
"Residential - Low Density" and "Residential - Medium Density ", the
Comprehensive Plan's land use designations are general categories that
encompass more than one zoning classification on the City's Zoning Map.
For example, the Residential - Medium Density" designation includes
several Urban Medium and Urban High zoning classifications, as well as
the Mobile Home Park zone. In such cases, it is the Zoning Map that will
determine the actual "potential zone" classification that emanates from a
parcel's Land Use Plan Map designation.
ESSENTIAL PUBLIC
FACILITIES
The Washington Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that city local
comprehensive plans include a process for identifying and siting "essential
public facilities."
An initial list of essential public facilities for SeaTac includes airports;
state and local correction facilities; educational facilities; state and local
transportation facilities; landfills; solid waste handling facilities; sewage
treatment facilities; broadcasting facilities; communication towers and
antennas; and in- patient 'facilities, such as group homes (excluding those
facilities covered by the Washington Housing Policy Act), mental health
facilities and substance abuse facilities.
Specific essential public facilities that ' already exist or are under
development in SeaTac include, Seattle- Tacoma International Airport,
Interstate 5, State Route 509, State Route 518, the King County solid
waste transfer station (off S. 188th Street) and the Federal Detention
Center.
With respect to the review process, an ad -hoc review committee shall be
established by the City Council, as needed, in response to a request to site
