Although there is no comment period on the DNS, we would like to note the following. The checklist does not address the potential environmental impacts of the proposed zoning code amendments, which may well be significant and adverse. For instance, the amend- ments may actually prompt the conversion of residential uses to industrial uses. The increase in allowable height from 45 to 115 feet may significantly affect vies from residential properties. The proposed amendments should also be designed to recognize and be consistent with the policies of the Shoreline Manage- ment Act and all applicable provisions of the respective shoreline master programs for the area. The Shoreline Man- agement Act requires that no structures over 35 feet be al- lowed in any areas of shoreline jurisdiction if they will obstruct the view of a substantial number of residences ad- joining such shoreline areas. If you have any questions, please call Mr. Bruce Smith of the Shorelands Program at (206) 459 -6762.

FM.DNS STAFF REPORT to the 111 88 -1 -A, 8410-R, 88 -3 -CPA, 88 -3 -CA Planning Commission Ilk A °MA Cift4 ENT A -� HEIGHT EXCEPTION Section 18.50.020 M -1 Light Industrial EXISTING: Maximum Building Height - Four stories /45 feet PROPOSED: See Attachment A zfor areas to be added to the Height Exception Up to and Including 115 Feet. Section 18.50.040 Building Height Exceptions Up to and Including 115 Feet Authorization of building height greater than the heights contained in Section 18.50.020 (Table 1) up to and including 115 feet in the areas of the City as designated on Map shall be made by the Planning Com- mission acting as the Board of Architectural Review pursuant to the guidelines and procedures specified in Chapter 18.60. Any application for a proposed structure exceeding 100 feet in overall height and located north of Interstate 405 shall be submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration for an advisory report. The report of the FAA shall be submitted,to the BAR as part of the Staff Report. Discussion The proposed height exception is similar to the text amendment made in Fire District No. 1. The height exception would extend to the area north of 125th Avenue which has a proposed zoning designation of M -1. M -1 - LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES EXISTING: Section 18.40.020(8) Principally Permitted Uses Manufacturing, processing and /or assembling previously prepared metals or plastics including, but not limited to, stamping, dyeing, shearing or punching of metal [not exceeding 1/8 inch in thickness], engraving, galvanizing, and handforging. PROPOSED NEW: Section 18.40.070 Performance Standards Use, activity, or operations within a structure shall not emit odor, noise, dust, smoke, gas or vibration which are discernible to a person at normal sensitivities at the edge of the property. Discussion The proposed amendment would affect all areas in the City zoned M -1. Over the last year, several businesses have commented on the limitations of metal thick- ness. Due to changing technology, most cities and counties no longer regulate light industrial uses by metal thickness. The 1/8 -inch thickness is being removed and a Performance Standard is being added to ensure the impacts of light industrial use will end at the edge of the property. STAFF REPORT to the 0 88 -1 -A, 88411p, 88 -3 -CPA, 88 -3 -CA Planning Commission ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS This section will review the proposed text amendments to the Zoning Code in conjunction with the pre- annexation zoning discussed in the preceding section. The proposed amendments would be approved through an ordinance that would become effective upon annexation of the area to Tukwila. The proposed amendments are grouped under three categories: Buffering, Height Exception, M -1 - Light Indus- trial Use and Design Review. Proposed additions are shown in bold print and deletions are in E ]. BUFFERING Section 18.52.020 C -M Industrial Park - Setback Standards EXISTING: Front yard - 50 feet; side yard - 5 feet; rear yard - 5 feet. PROPOSED: Minimum setback of 50 feet when adjacent to a residential use. Section 18.52.030(4) C -M Industrial Park - Required Landscape Area EXISTING: Front yard - 15 feet; side yard - 5 feet; rear yard - none. PROPOSED: Fifteen feet of landscaping shall be provided when development in the C -M zone abuts residential uses. Section 18.60.030(2)(6) Design Review Requirements for the C -M Zone EXISTING: Design Review is required if the proposed structure exceeds 10,000 square feet. PROPOSED: When C -M development is adjacent to residential uses, Design Review is required. Discussion These three amendments are intended to provide a better transition between residential uses and industrial uses. Currently in the City, the C -M Industrial Park zone does not abut any residential areas. The proposed standard would not affect existing uses in Tukwila, but would affect the new development north of 126th in the Riverton area. The proposed standard improves the existing stan- dards for buffering, while at the same time providing the opportunity for greater standards if needed through the Design Review process. Potentially affected C -M zones are shown in Attachment A -1. STAFF REPORT to the • 88 -1 -A, 88R, 88 -3 -CPA, 88 -3 -CA Planning Commission DESIGN REVIEW PROPOSED NEW: Section 18.60.030(2)(H) Scope of Authority All proposed developments along East Marginal Way between 125th Street and 131st Street in all zone districts, excluding single - family homes. (See Attachment A -1) Discussion This amendment would only affect non - single family uses along East Marginal Way in the Riverton annexation area. As mentioned earlier, the task force would like to encourage redevelopment of their commercial area and assurance of better transition between single family uses and non - residential uses. The design review process provides for the opportunity for residents to be informed of what is proposed and comment.
