VanDusen, Mayor EPIC File 8 -88 Moira Carr Bradshaw April 12, 1988 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: PROPOSED ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS 1. TRUCK TERMINALS Making them permitted versus conditional use in M -2 zone. Use is consistent with purpose of zone. Existing M -2 zone and surrounding area will not be adversely impacted by moving from conditional to permitted use. In Fire #1 area, M -H zone allows use outright. 2. STEEL MANUFACTURING Proposal is update of language in steel processes. No significant changes in actual use within M -2 districts. 3. TRANSIT OPERATING BASE Re training - the absence of the use in an oversight of the Code and cur- rently occurs in M -2 zone. 4. HEIGHT EXCEPTION AREA Proposal will increase height allowed. Much of the area is restricted by river height restriction and /or airspace plan for Boeing Field. 5. HEIGHT REGULATIONS AROUND MAJOR AIRPORTS Proposal duplicates federal height regulations and provides consistency between layers of government. 6. MOBILE HOMES Proposed code change will not impact areas of City where legal nonconforming mobile or manufactured homes exist. In essence extending life of manufac- tured homes within City limits. For owners of these types of structures allows a less expensive form of upgrade or replacement than with a conventional or modular home. WAC 197 -11 -970 DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE Description of Proposal Text amendments to Zoning Code regarding: steel processes in M -2, training as a acessory use in M -2, truck terminals as a permitted use in M -2, creation of a Height Exception Area for the proposed annexation area, height regulations aroun• air Proponent 11 '• 1 -• • 1 - . - City of Tukwila Location of Proposal, including street address, if any City of Tukwila and proposed Fire District No. 1 Annexation Area Lead Agency: City of Tukwila File No. EPIC -8 -88 m The lead agency for this proposal has determined that it does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment.
