FINAL STAFF EVALUATION
FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
File No: E08 -008
I. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ACTION
This proposal is SEPA/Environmental Review in preparation for City Council adoption
of a parks and open space plan for the City of Tukwila. The Tukwila Parks, Recreation
and Open Space Plan contains recommendations for a range of different types of parks
and open space projects for development within a six year time horizon. The plan outlines
the roles and responsibilities for different agencies engaged in implementation of the
variety of projects and programs contained in the plan. An estimate of costs is provided
and funding strategies are identified for the different projects and programs recommended
in the plan. Once adopted, the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan will serve as a
guide that will show which projects should be built and where, as opportunities arise for
construction of new facilities as a result of public and private investments.

III. REVIEW PROCESS
The proposed action is subject to State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review as the
project does not meet the exemptions listed under WAC 197 -11 -800.
IV. BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL
The Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department develops a functional plan every six years
that includes an inventory of existing parks and open space facilities and programs, and a
list of new facilities to act as a guide for development of new parks, recreation, and open
space projects over a six -year time horizon. The list of projects developed in each six year
plan is made according to a needs analysis, including a population forecast and an
analysis of areas within the City that are underserved by different types of parks,
recreation, and open space facilities. As opportunities arise in the form of grants, private
development, and city capital improvement projects, the current version of the six -year
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan serves as a guide that indicates which projects
should be built.
V. REVIEW OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
The following lists the elements contained within the Environmental Checklist submitted
for the proposed project. The numbers in the staff evaluation correspond to the numbers
in the Environmental Checklist. If staff concurs with the applicant's response, this is so
stated. If the response to a particular item in the checklist is found to be inadequate or
clarification is needed, there is additional staff comment and evaluation.
A. BACKGROUND:
1 -4 - Concur with checklist.
5 - The plan will be adopted following issuance of a SEPA determination.
6 - Concur with checklist.
7 - As parks and open space projects identified within the plan are being planned for
development, a project -level SEPA review will be required if applicable, including any
associated environmental analyses required.
JR Page 2 of 7 06/19/2008 5:04 PM
H:4SEPA\Parks & Open Space PIan\E08 -008_Parks Plan SEPA_SR.doc
8 - A city -wide bicycle and pedestrian plan, the Draft Walk & Roll Plan, is currently
under review by the Tukwila City Council. Changes will be made to the Draft Walk &
Roll Plan to include trail projects outlined in the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan.
9 -11 - Concur with checklist.
12 - Yes: Some of the parks and open space projects include land that falls within 200
feet of the Green River or land located within other sensitive areas such as wetlands and
wetland buffers, watercourse buffers, and steep slope areas. Specific impacts and
mitigation measures will be reviewed on a per - project basis as opportunities arise for
planning and development of these parks and open space areas.
B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS:
1. Earth:
a - Concur with checklist.
b -e - These characteristics (slope, soil types and conditions, filling/grading) will
vary depending on the project, and will be reviewed on a per - project basis.
f -h - Generally, construction of new trails and parks, and expansion of road
widths to accommodate on -road bicycle trails (bike lanes) have the potential to
result in erosion and addition of impervious surface. Impacts to the earth
associated with construction of new parks and open space areas, including erosion
and increases in impervious surface area, will be reviewed at the project level.
Measures to prevent or control such impacts will be included in this project -level
review.
2. Air:
a -c - During individual project construction, minor impacts to the air (including
dust and emissions from construction equipment) could occur. These impacts will
occur at the project stage in parks and open space development. The applicant
(whether it's the City of Tukwila, contractor, or other agency) shall obtain all
relevant permits from Puget Sound Clean Air Agency and the Puget Sound Air
Pollution Control Agency to address any emission to the air associated with
project -level activities.
3. Water:
a(1-6) - Some of the projects in Tukwila's Parks, Open Space and Recreation Plan
are proposed in areas where there are surface water bodies, including the
Green/Duwamish River, streams, Tukwila Pond, and wetland areas, and
associated buffer areas for rivers and streams. Work for various parks, recreation,
and open space projects may involve work over, in, and/or adjacent to these
waters. Each of the projects in these sensitive areas will be reviewed at the project
JR Page 3 of 7 06/19/2008 5:04 PM
H:\SEPA\Parks & Open Space Plan\E08 -008_Parks Plan SEPA_SR.doc
level, to assess environmental impacts and required mitigation measures. All
federal, state, and local regulations shall be complied with in the development of
projects contained in the Parks, Open Space and Recreation Plan.
b(1 -2) - Impacts including discharges to and withdrawals of ground water, and
discharges of waste materials to the ground will be reviewed at the project level.
All federal, state, and local laws shall be complied with related to these impacts.
c -d - Impacts related to surface, ground, and runoff water shall be reviewed at the
project level. Any applicant for a project identified in the Parks, Recreation and
Open Space Plan shall comply with federal, state, and local policies and Best
Management Practices related to surface, ground, and runoff water impacts.
4. Plants:
a -d - There is a variety of plant species within the City of Tukwila, including
native and non - native plant species to the Puget Sound Region. In general, the
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan presents an opportunity to increase park
and open space areas, and maintain those currently existing, thereby increasing the
total vegetation coverage of the City. In creation of parks and open space areas,
most of the projects in this plan will involve some form of removal or alteration of
vegetation, whether it is removal of invasive species on resource conservancy sites
and resource parks, or removal of vegetation in preparation for athletic parks
including playgrounds, courts, and fields.
Where practicable, the applicant shall retain significant trees regardless of their
location within a sensitive area in addition to the requirements contained in the
City of Tukwila Tree Regulations (TMC Chapter 18.54). Landscaping and
vegetation removal for the projects contained in the plan will be reviewed at the
project level, at which time mitigation measures will be determined for proposed
impacts.
5. Animals:
a -d - A range of birds have been observed in Tukwila, including hawks, eagles,
and songbirds. Mammals in Tukwila are generally small, including coyotes,
squirrels, possums, etc. There are several species of fish in Tukwila, including
salmon and trout. Threatened fish species observed in Tukwila include Chinook
salmon, bull trout, and Puget Sound steelhead. The City of Tukwila is within the
Pacific Flyway, a bird migration route. Several of the projects in the Parks,
Recreation and Open Space Plan are meant to preserve, enhance, and connect
natural resource areas within the City to provide wildlife corridors within the city.
For these projects, wildlife habitat and habitat buffers are retained, and may be
restored to a natural state through removal of invasive species and planting of
JR Page 4 of 7 06/19/2008 5:04 PM
H:\SEPA \Parks & Open Space Plan\E08 -008_Parks Plan SEPA_SR.doc
native species. Impacts to wildlife and wildlife habitat will be reviewed at the
project level.
6. Energy and Natural Resources:
a - Different types of parks, recreation, and open space facilities have differing
needs in terms of energy. The requirements for each project in the plan will be
different. Electricity for lighting will be the most common need for a given
project, although some projects within the plan will not have any energy or natural
resource needs.
b - Concur with checklist.
c - Energy needs and conservation features will be reviewed for each project as
opportunities arise for parks, recreation, and open space development.
7. Environmental Health:
a(1-2) - Concur with checklist.
b(1) - Noise from traffic on surrounding streets and highways, including I -5 and I-
405 exist in the area. Noise from nearby airports, including SeaTac International
Airport, the Boeing Airfield, and the Renton Municipal Airport also result in
noise impacts in Tukwila. Noise from trains creates periodic noise impacts along
the rail corridors within Tukwila. Noise associated with manufacturing and
industrial activities is also typical in some areas of the city, including the
Manufacturing and Industrial Center and the Tukwila Urban Center.
b(2) -b(3) - Short-term construction noise may be associated with the construction
of projects contained in the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan. Future users
of new facilities may result in additional noise impacts in some areas.
Construction and future users of the park must comply with City of Tukwila noise
ordinance requirements. Additionally, compliance with applicable local, state and
federal noise regulations will mitigate any potential adverse noise impacts
associated with the project.
8. Land and Shoreline Use:
a-1 - Land use impacts associated with the plan will be site - specific. Because of
this, impacts to land use and environmentally sensitive areas (including land
within the 200 foot buffer from the Green/Duwamish River) will be reviewed at
the project stage. Generally, the addition of new parks, recreation programs and
facilities, and open space is likely to generate new jobs in the Parks and
Recreation Department at the City of Tukwila for planning, maintenance, and
administration of facilities and programs. This plan has been created in
accordance with the Growth Management Act, and is consistent with Tukwila's
Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Projects contained in the plan shall be reviewed
individually to ensure consistency with local, state, and federal regulations.
JR Page 5 of 7 06/19/2008 5:04 PM
H: \SEPA\Parks & Open Space PIan \E08 -008_Parks Plan SEPA_SRdoc
9. Housing:
a -c - Concur with checklist.
10. Aesthetics:
a -c - Generally, projects in the plan offer potential for view preservation and
public access to view corridors, especially for those projects that involve
preservation or creation of new open space areas. Some of the parks projects
which involve new structures have the potential to obstruct existing views. Since
the plan provides a range of location options for different types of facilities,
aesthetic impacts and associated mitigation measures shall be reviewed at the
project level, once specific sites have been proposed for particular projects.
11. Light and Glare:
a -d - Concur with checklist.
12. Recreation:
a -c - Concur with checklist.
13. Historic and Cultural Preservation:
a -c - Any required studies, including archaeological surveys, will be determined at
the project level. The City of Tukwila and its contractors shall comply with all
local, state, and federal laws in the case that archaeological or paleontological
artifacts are encountered during construction of parks, recreation, and open space
projects.
14. Transportation:
a -g - Generally, parks, recreation, and open space areas should be easily accessed
by a range of transportation options, including automobiles, transit, and non-
motorized transportation options including walking and biking. Individual
projects will be reviewed as they are considered for development at the project
level for (1) traffic impacts to ensure adequate automobile access via Tukwila's
street system and to assess the impacts that new development may have on
existing traffic conditions; (2) parking requirements according to TMC Chapter
18.56 Off - Street Parking and Loading Regulations (3) public transit connectivity;
and (4) non - motorized access connectivity, including any required frontage or
non - motorized access improvements that shall be constructed as part of new
parks, recreation, and open space facilities.
15. Public Services:
a -b - The Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan is programmatic, helping the
city decide which types of facilities are feasible for construction within a 6 -year
time horizon. Implementation of the plan may increase the need for additional
JR Page 6 of 7 06/192008 5:04 PM
H:\SEPA\Parks & Open Space PIan\E08 -008_Parks Plan SEPA_SR.doc
staff time to plan for and construct projects within the plan and to pursue grants
and/or establish and administer user fees or impact fees.
16. Utilities:
a -b - The need for various types of utilities at new parks, recreation, and open
space facilities will vary. These will be part of the project -level review for each
new facility.
VI. COMMENTS:
No comments were received during the Notice of Application comment period.
VII. CONCLUSION
The proposal can be found to not have a probable significant adverse impact on the
environment and pursuant to WAC 197 -11 -340 a Determination of Nonsignificance
(DNS) is issued for this project. This DNS is based on impacts identified within the
environmental checklist, attachments, and the above Final Staff Evaluation for
Environmental Checklist File No. E08 -008, and is supported by plans, policies, and
regulations formally adopted by the City of Tukwila for the exercise of substantive
authority under SEPA to approve, condition, or deny proposed actions.

General Comment
The Parks Plan includes both on -road (bike lanes) and off- road(multipurpose /multi -use trails) facilities for
bicycles. There is a map on p. 47 of the plan showing Multipurpose traile; buttthere is no map showing on-
road facilities. Should there also be a map (such as the Recommended Bicycles'- Friendly Routes map)
showing on -road facilities, or should the Parks & Open(Bpa a Plan reference ttie =Recommended Bicycle -
Friendly Routes map we have in the Walk & Roll Ptah? The same goes for unpaved multi -use trails. The
Parks & Open Space Plan makes reference to recreational trails that would conne'etresource areas,
which is most similar to the unpaved multi- use'trails in the Walk & Roll Plan. Should the Packs & Open
Space Plan include a map of these trails, or adopt =the maps in the=Waik & Roll Plan by reference? ADD:

SEPA
ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEW
INFORMATION
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requires all agencies to consider the environmental impacts
of a development before making decisions (43.21C RCW). The purpose of environmental review is to
identify a proposal's significant adverse impacts, measures to minimize or avoid such impacts, and
allow wide public review for a wide range of projects.
REQUIREMENTS: SEPA review is required for any action associated with the following types of
decisions:
1. Developing 10 or more dwelling units.
2. Developing agricultural structures over 10,000 s.f.
3. Developing office, school, commercial, recreational, service or storage buildings over 12,000 s.f. and
40 parking spaces (certain utility lines, personal wireless communication facilities, and normal
maintenance /replacement activities are fully exempt).
4. Developing parking lots with over 40 spaces.
5. Landfills and excavations over 500 cubic yards.
6. Installation of impervious underground tanks with a capacity over 10,000 gallons.
The accompanying application must be completed. If a question does not apply, "Does not apply" or
"NA" may be entered. Complete answers to the checklist may avoid unnecessary delays later. City staff
may also be able to help about governmental designations (e.g,., zoning, shoreline, and landmark status).
PROCEDURES: At the time you submit your application you must have all of the items listed on
the attached "Complete Application Checklist" as well as the submittal for the underlying action
(building permit, subdivision etc.). You may request a waiver from items on the checklist that are not
applicable to your project. Please discuss this waiver request with City staff either at a pre- application
meeting or at the time of application submittal. Within 28 days of receiving your application, City staff
will determine if it is complete based on the attached checklist. If not complete City staff will mail you
a letter outlining what additional information is needed. If you do not submit requested materials within 90
days from the City's request for additional information the City may cancel your application.
Once the application is "complete," substantive review will begin and a "Notice of Application" must be
posted /mailed to begin a public comment period. After completing the environmental analysis and
considering public comments, the Director will issue a determination for the project. A Determination
of Non - Significance (DNS) says that the project as proposed will not have probable, significant,
negative environmental impacts. A mitigated DNS will be issued if the project must be modified to
mitigate its negative impacts. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared if the
probable negative impacts are unavoidable.
C: \DOCUME- 1 \STEPHA- 1 \LOCALS--1 \Temp \GWViewer \SEPA Park &Rec Plan 2008.doc
COMPLETE APPLICATION CHECKLIST
The materials listed below must be submitted with your application unless specifically waived in writing by the
Public Works Department and the Department of Community Development. Please contact each Department if you
feel that certain items are not applicable to your project and should be waived. Application review will not begin
until it is determined to be complete. ADDITIONAL MATERIALS MAY BE REQUIRED.
The initial application materials allow project review to begin and vest the applicant's rights. However, the City
may require additional information as needed to establish consistency with development standards.
City staff is available to answer questions about application materials at 206 - 431 -3670 (Department of Community
Development) and 206 - 433 -0179 (Department of Public Works).

maintenance. Continue to the next question as directed for each No or Yes answer.
1 -1
Will the project involve the modification of a watercourse bank or bank of the
Green/Duwamish or Black Rivers between the ordinary high water mark and top of bank? This
includes any projects that will require grading on any slope leading to a river or stream, but
will not require work below the ordinary high water mark. Work below the ordinary high
water mark is covered in Part C. Please circle appropriate response.
NO - Continue to Question 1 -2
YES - Continue to Question 1 -2
1 -2 Could the construction, operation, or maintenance of the project result in sediment transport off
site or increased rates of erosion and /or sedimentation in watercourses, the Green /Duwamish
rivers, or the Black River? Most projects that involve grading have the potential to result in
increased erosion and /or sedimentation as a result of disturbances to the soil or earth. If your
project involves grading and you have not prepared a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation
Control Plan specifically designed to retain 100 percent of the runoff (including during
construction) from impervious surface or disturbed soils, answer Yes to this question. If your
project is normally exempt under the Tukwila Municipal Code and would not require the
preparation of a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan, BUT may still result in
erosion or sediment transport off site or beyond the work area, answer Yes to this question.
Please circle appropriate response.
NO - Continue to Question 1 -3
YES - Continue to Question 1 -3
1 -3 Will the project result in the construction of new impervious surfaces? Impervious surfaces
include those hard surfaces which prevent or restrict the entry of water into the soil in the
manner that such water entered the soils under natural conditions prior to development; or a
hard surface area that causes water to run off the surface in greater quantity or at an increased
rate of flow from the flow presented under natural conditions prior to development. Such areas
include, but are not limited to, rooftops, asphalt or concrete paving, compacted surfaces, or
other surfaces that similarly affect the natural infiltration or runoff patterns existing prior to
development (TMC 18.06.445). Please circle appropriate response.
