Many of these facilities are already located in Tukwila, ranging from dry cleaning and printing shops to heavy industrial processing. The State's concern is that these facilities not be prohibited from locating and operating in our city. Chapter 70.105 RCW states that the treatment and storage of hazardous waste cannot be prohibited in a zone unless the use of hazardous substances is also prohibited in the zone. The guidelines implementing Chapter 70.105 RCW indicate that cities can distinguish between on -site and off -site treatment of hazardous wastes. Off -site treatment and storage facilities must be allowed as permitted uses in zones that allow industrial and manufacturing uses- which process or handle hazardous substances. We can prohibit off -site treatment in commercial zones as long as we allow uses in these zones to treat their own waste on -site as as "accessory" use. On -site treatment of hazardous waste can occur in com- mercial zones where the substances are allowed. Staff Proposal We propose that off -site treatment or storage of hazardous waste be permitted as a conditional use or unclassified use in industrial zones (either in M -1 and M -2 zones or perhaps only M -2 zones). On -site treatment and storage of hazardous waste shall be permitted as an incidental or accessory use in commer- cial or industrial zones. This includes typical existing uses such as dry cleaners, print shops and stations, as well as firms which use and store on premises small amounts of hazardous materials. MEMORANDUM to: Planning Commission Members May 26, 1983 Page 2 Siting Criteria The State has developed and in March 1988 adopted siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities. We had planned.to incorporate these directly into our zoning code. Last week, however, the media reported that the new State D.O.E. direc- tor intends to have these standards rewritten. In the interim, the staff proposes that Tukwila incorporate the State's siting guidelines into its code. We will monitor the State's progress and stay informed of the situation if any change occurs in the siting criteria. Next Steps The Planning Commission will review hazardous waste- related zoning code revi- sions at its June meeting. Draft regulations will be forwarded to the State of Washington by June 30, 1988 to demonstrate the City's compliance with State requirements. The Planning Commission's recommendations and draft code language will go to the City Council for a public hearing and final decision /adoption. The final code wording will then be submitted to the State D.O.E. Rebecca Fox RF /sjn
