SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (do not use this sheet for project actions) • Evaluation for Agency Use Only 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 from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not imple- mented. 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 change to allow assembling /repair and additional warehousing would possibly increase truck emissions to air in the C -2 zones. Each CU application would be reviewed for the above effects during SEPA. Proposed measures to-,avoid or reduce such increases are: 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, ani- mals, fish, or marine life? The proposal should not change current development affects on the above. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, ani- mals, fish, or marine life are: Would be reviewed on a project -by- project basis. • Evaluation for Agency Use Only 3. Now would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? Unknown at this time. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural recourses are: Review effects and proposed measures on a project -by- project basis. 4. Now would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands? Because the proposal affects the permitted CU in the C -2 zone, the permit process would require a SEPA checklist and site plan approval by the Planning Commission for each proposal. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: 5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, inclduing whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? The conditional use amendment would not change the predominate uses allowed along the City's shoreline. • • Evaluation for Agency Use Only Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts area: The CU process requiring a SEPA checklist and site plan approval would help avoid impacts. How does the proposal conform to the Tukwila Shoreline Master Plan? The proposed Conditional Use would allow a greater ratio of warehousing in C -2 zones which would decrease the density of people using the C -2 shoreline areas. 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? There would be a trade -off between 2 different types of uses, commercial /retail vs. office/light .industri T Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: The traffic impact, adequacy of public services, and utilities. 7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state,, or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. • • Evaluation for Agency Use Only 8. Does the proposal conflict with policies of the Tukwila Comprehensive land Use Policy Plan? If so, what poli- cies of the Plan? Objective 4, p. 65: encourage establishment of office areas. Policy 3, p. 66: encourage location of commercial /office in areas of high natural amenities. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce the conflict(s) are: Current restrictions allow a 51% office -49% warehouse split. To reduce conflicts with above policies, the proposed amendment could limit to a 60/40 warehouse /office split. Proposed action supports: Policy 2, p. 60 Policy 3, p. 61 Policy 8, p. 62 Policy 6, p. 64 Objective 6, p. 67 Policy 3, p. 67. 'TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLIC• • Evaluation for - • Agency Use Only E. 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 aforegoing items of the Environmental Checklist. This information provides a general overall perspective of the proposed action in the context of the environmental infor- mation provided and the submitted plans, documents, suppor- tive information, studies, etc. 1. What are the objective(s) of the proposal? _ The objectives of the proposal is to offer flexibility in the use category of land uses in the C -2 zone through a controlled review process of the CUP. In addition, to encourage a diversity of land use opportunities to promote maximum occupancy. 2. What are the alternative means of . accomplishing these objectives? A. To allow "high tech" uses, including assembling, repair, and warehousing as a permitted use in the C -2 zone. B. To change the zoning of the City's established C -2 districts to CM zones. C. To allow as conditional use in the C -2 zone some variation of the proposal. 3. Please compare the alternative means and indicate the preferred course of action: Preferred course is to maintain the C -2 zone as is, but to allow as a conditional use, the flexibility to allow a combination of office, repair /assembly and warehousing that characterize high tech uses. • • Evaluation for Agency Use Only 4.
