D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NON PROJECT 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 form the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than in 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?
The proposed Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Code changes involve modifications to policies or
maps. Most have few or no impacts. Changing LDR to C /LI would allow a light industrial facility
of some type to be built, likely resulting in increased emisssions and noise.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
L01 -076 (c ) which would encourage transit- oriented development would potentially limit
emissions to the air and production of noise.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish or marine life?
No significant impact is anticipated on plants, animals, fish or marine life.
Page 17
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
•
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish or marine life are:
None needed.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
L01- 076(a) could result in more intensive development, which would in turn require energy
resources for construction or operation.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
LO 1 -076 (c ) encouraging transit - oriented development could result in development which
conserves energy and natural resources. Otherwise, no conservation measures are proposed at this
time as there is no specific development proposal.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas
designated (or eligible or under study) for government protection; such as parks, wilderness,
wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites,
wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
The proposal does not affect or use environmentally - sensitive areas.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
None needed.
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?
LO 1 -076 (a) could result in more intensive development. Development of any kind would need to
meet land use regulations.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
L01 -076 (c ) and L01 -076 (d) calling for policies supporting transit - oriented development and
adequate parking facilities in the vicinity of high —capacity transit could reduce potential land use
impacts once development actually occurs.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services
and utilities?
No increased demands on transportation or public services and utilities are anticipated as a result of
this proposal.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
None needed.
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 with environmental protection laws are anticipated.

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?
In the broadest sense, the objective of proposals to amend the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code is
to respond to changed conditions and to keep the policies current. Specific proposals deal with specific
conditions.
2. What are the alternative means of accomplishing these objectives?
If changes are desired, we see no obvious means to implement change other than by amending the
primary land use regulation documents. It might be possible to alter the timetable of changes to
delay adoption and implementation. Some individual proposals have alternatives.
3. Please compare the alternative means and indicate the preferred course of action:
LO1 -076 (a) Change Comprehensive Plan/Zoning designation from Low Density Residential (LDR) to
Commercial/Light Industrial (C/LI) on City -owned property
Other possible options include:
• Retain the current Comprehensive Plan/Zoning designation and site the proposed bus
maintenance /parking use as a combination of both the school and mass transit facilities that are
allowed as conditional and unclassified uses in the LDR zone.
• Denying the proposal for the following reasons-
1. there is a greater identified public need for recreation or open space, as indicated by the
Public Recreational Overlay designation and
2. there might be other places for the City to provide bus maintenance for the Tukwila School
District.
L01- 076(b) Revise Transportation Element to accommodate housekeeping changes per GMA and
potential policy changes resulting from update to Concurrency Ordinance
Other options for consideration would be:
• Delay consideration of amendments until the next amendment cycle since the State has extended its
deadline until 12/01/04.
• Implement GMA- required housekeeping changes only
• No action.
LO1 -076 (c ) Add policy to encourage transit - oriented uses and development patterns near high capacity
transit stations
Page 19
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Other possible options would be to:
• Rely on Policy 8.2.1 with its general direction to mitigate transportation impacts in the Tukwila
International Boulevard corridor through extensive amenities;
• Revise design review guidelines to require transit- oriented uses near high capacity transit stations;
• Include specific development requirements to stipulate "transit- oriented uses" in the vicinity of high
capacity transit in the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) Plan.
• Rely on the Zoning Code (Chapter 18.56, Section 18.56.100 Unspecified Uses)
• Deny the request.
LO1 -076 (d) -- Require that parking facilities developed in conjunction with high capacity transit be
adequately sized to prevent spillover
Other possible options would be to:
• Rely on Policy 8.2.1 with its general direction to mitigate transportation impacts in the Tukwila
International Boulevard corridor through extensive amenities;
• Revise design review guidelines to include parking requirements for high capacity transit stations;
• Include specific parking requirements addressing high capacity transit in the Tukwila Urban Center
(TUC) Plan.
• Rely on the Zoning Code (Chapter 18.56, Section 18.56.100 Unspecified Uses)
• Deny the request.
4. Does the proposal conflict with policies of the Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Policy
Plan?
The proposals require amending the Comprehensive Plan, Z oning Code and/or Comprehensive
Plan map.
5. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce the conflict(s) are:
Public input and review by the Planning Commission and City Council will minimize potential
conflicts with the City codes.
