STATE ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST A. BACKGROUND 1. Name of proposed project, if applicable: Zoning Code Regulations for Commercial Parking and Park and Ride Lots 2. Name of Applicant: City of Tukwila 6200 Southcenter BL Tukwila, WA 98188 3. Date checklist prepared: August 10, 2001 4. Agency requesting checklist: City of Tukwila 5. Proposed timing or schedule (including phasing, if applicable): Planning Commission and City Council Review in Summer and Fall 2001 6. Do you have any plans for future additions, expansion, or further activity related to or connected with this proposal? If yes, explain. No 7. List any environmental information you know about that has been prepared, or will be prepared, directly related to this proposal. An Environmental Impacat Statemenat was preparded for the 1995 Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code 8. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes, explain. Not applicable as this is a nonproject action that has city wide implications. 9. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal. Planning Commission Recommendation and City Council Ordinance amending the Zoning Code. Page 1 of 17 08/10/01 • • 10. 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. 1. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06) Add this definition of `park and ride lot" that distinguishes them from mass transit and essential public facilities. "Park and Ride" is a use of land exclusively for the parking of vehicles without a fee in order to allow transfer to and use of regional or local transit services. 2. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06) Add this definition of `parking as a primary use" that compliments the commercial parking tax definition (TMC 3.48.010(2)) and that describes any commercial parking operation such as park and fly lots. "Commercial Parking" is a use of land or structure for the parking or storage of motor vehicles, not directly associated with and or secondary to another permitted use on the same or immediately adjacent lot or parcel. An example of commercial parking is a for profit park and fly lot or any non fee primary use vehicular storage /parking area. 3. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06) Delete this definition that is confusing and not applicable. Public garage is listed in the Definitions chapter but not listed as a permitted use anywhere in the Zoning Code and could be confusing when evaluating use categories and permitted uses. "Garage, public" means a building or portion thereof designed and used for the storage, repair or servicing of motor vehicles or boats as a business. 4. Amend the Zoning Code, Permitted Use Sections in the Manufacturing Industrial Center Zones -MIC /L and MIC/H. (TMC 18.36 and 18.38) Delete from the Permitted Use Section of the MIC /L and MIC /H zones respectively the following permitted use. 28. Public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars. 30. Public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars. S. Amend the Zoning Code, Permitted Use Sections in the RC and TUC Zones (TMC 18.24 and 18.28) Add as a permitted use in RC and TUC zones the following use: Page 2 of 17 08/10/01 • • "Commercial parking, which must be located behind a building or a potential future building pad and /or in structures with substantial ground floor retail and be subject to compliance with Landscape, Recreation, Recycling /Solid Waster Space Requirements Chapter (TMC 18.52), and Off-street Parking and Loading Regulations Chapter (TMC 18.56)." 6. Amend the Zoning Code, Permitted Use Sections in the MUO, 0, RC, RCM, TUC, and C /Ll Zones (TMC 18.16,18.18,18.24, 18.26, 18.28, 18.30) Allow Park and Rides under the same conditions as Commercial Parking, which would mean changing them from conditional to permitted uses in the MUO, 0, RC, RCM, TUC, and C /LI. 11. 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, the tax lot number, and section, township, and range. 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 available.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NON - PROJECT PROPOSALS (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 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 proposals be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? The proposal would make the entitlement process easier for transit oriented park and ride lots. The proposal will disallow commercial parking in the City's Manufacturing Industrial Center and has the potential of discouraging commercial parking in the RC & TUC zones. Therefore the results would be the potential increase in availability of park and ride lots for transit riders and a decrease in opportunity for park and fly or commercial parking in the City. This has the potential of inhibiting the increase in air emissions from automobiles. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: None considered or necessary. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? No significant affect. The majority of the commercial land in the City is developed and this project will primarily impact the redevelopment options for land. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: None proposed. Page 15 of 17 08/10/01 • • 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? By creating greater restrictions on the siting of commercial parking, the use of energy resources for automobile use could potentially be reduced. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: None proposed. 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 rivers, threatened or endangered species habitats, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands? No significant impacts of environmentally sensitve areas or protected areas are anticipated Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: None proposed 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? The impact of the proposal will be to prevent the parking of automobiles in the City's industrial center for off-site users such as the airport or downtown Seattle and to discourage these types of uses in the City's commercial areas where pedestrian commercially oriented neighborhoods are desired. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: The proposed measures are intended to reduce land use impacts on commercial areas and between commercial and residential areas 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public service and utilities? Page 16 of 17 08/10/01 • The proposal has the potential of increasing the demand for public services such as bus services or van services. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: None proposed. 7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with Local, State, or Federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. No conflicts are known. F SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR ALL PROJECT AND NON PROJECT PROPOSALS The objectives and the alternative means of reaching the objectives for a proposal will be helpful in reviewing the foregoing items of the Environmental Checklist. This information provides a general overall perspective of the proposed action in the context of the environmental information provided and the submitted plans, documents, supportive information, studies, etc. 1. What are the objectives of the proposal? To meet the goals of the City's Comprehensive Plan for its commercial areas both the commercial corridors and its urban center, and for the City's manufacturing industrial center. 2. What are the alternative means of accomplishing these objectives? There are a variety of ways of crafting regulations and defining uses. For example, commercial parking could be allowed as a conditional use in commercial zones where they are desired but where there is concern about their overall design and layout. 3. Please compare the alternative means and indicate the preferred course of action: There are no alternate means other than the code amendments of accomplishing the objectives. 4. Does the proposal conflict with policies of the Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan? No the proposal is actually more in keeping with the goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. 5. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce the conflict(s) are: The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing in order to solicit testimony that may identify conflicts and potential solutions.
