h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or
other impacts to the earth, if any: As stated previously, it is anticipated
that the storm drainage system as designed to City Ordinance requirements
will control on -site and off -site drainage and thereby help control erosion.
Temporary measures during construction will also be utilized as necessary.
The landscaping introduced to the site with the completed future development
should also reduce and control erosion.
2. Air
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from
the • proposal (i.e., dust, automobile odors,
industrial wood smoke) during construction and when
the project is completed? If any, generally
describe and give approximate quantities if known.
No specific development is anticipated at this time. However, it can be
assumed that emissions normal to light industrial development and use will
occur with future development of the site. These are normally associated
s, and the traffic associated
with the permanent use. No abnormal emissions are anticipated.
b. Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odor
that may affect your proposal? If so, generally
describe. None. The site is surrounded by other industrial
freeway for which the imposed zoning is compatible.

c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or
other impacts to air, if any: Because of the legislative non - project nature
of the proposal this is difficult. However, emissions will be controlled
by established City and regional Air control Ordinances. During construction
dust can be controlled by proper watering, and equipment emissions through
utilization of properly maintained equipment.
3. Water
. a. Surface:
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the
immediate vicinity of the site (including year -
round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes,
ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and
provide names. If appropriate, state what
stream or river it flows into. No surface water body is apparent
on or near the site.
( Evaluation for
Agency Use Only
b. Ground:
1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be
discharged to ground water? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate quan-
tities, if known. No.
2) Describe waste materials that will be discharged
into the ground from septic tanks or other sour-
ces, if any (for example: Domestic sewage;
industrial, containing the following
chemicals...; agricultural; etc.) Describe the
general size of the system, the number of such
systems, the number of houses to be served (if
applicable), or the number of animals or humans
the system(s) are expected to serve. No waste materials will
be discharged into the ground.
c. Water Runoff (including storm water):
1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm
water) and method of collection and disposal, if
any (include quantities, if known). Where will
this water flow? Will this water flow into
other waters? If so describe. Water funoff (including storm water):
(1) The exact details o the developed storm drainage system are not

This is part of the normal storm drainage plan or the area.
(2) No abnormal waste materials are anticipated to enter the ground
or surface waters. Waste materials will be generated typical of light
industrial usage of the site. This is normally associated with
waslE materials from associated parking and storage uses.

d. Will any structures be demolished? If so, what?
The previously described structure will most likely be demolished at the time
of site development.
e. What is the current zoning classification of the
site? Single Family Residence
\(
f. What is the current comprehensive plan designation
of the site? Light Industrial
g. If applicable, what is the current shoreline master
program designation of the site? N/A
h. Has any part of the site been classified as an
No nvironmentally sensitive" area? If so, specify.
i. Approximately how many people would reside or work
in the completed project? Not known at this time.
j. Approximately how many people would the completed
project displace? Approximately 2 people.
k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement
impacts, if any: Suitable notice to the tenants will
be given at the time of actual site development.
1. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is com-
patible with existing and projected land uses and
plans, if any: The subject site is adjacent to an existing `,
industrial use and is sutticiently distant trom nearby existing single
family uses, so that impacts will not be significant. Although there
are other light industrial uses further east of the site along South
ree , i can •e assume • an.scape •u ering, setbacks, height
limits, and other City codes wilT be utilized to suitably buffer single
family uses on the east and south of the site. Such elements are normally
utilized per City ordinances to reduce such impacts in the short term,
while in the long term, it can be assumed that these uses will eventually
transition in a similar manner to light industrial uses consistent with
the comprehensive land use plan for the area.
Evaluation for
Agency Use Only
13. Historic and Cultural Preservation
a. Are there any places or objects listed on, or pro-
posed for, national, state, or local preservation
registers known to be on or next to the site? If
so, generally describe. No.
b. Generally describe any landmarks or evidence of
historic, archaeological, scientific, or cultural
importance known to be on or next to the site.
None.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts, if
any: None.
14. Transportation
a. Identify public streets and highways serving the PtieL
site, and describe proposed accss to the existing
street system. Show on site plan if any. The subject site.has approximately
91 feet of frontage along south 134t S-t„ j - -South 134th St.ceet extends general
in a north and south direction. Thi 5Oft.�right -of -way provides access from
rchange. SR 599 also
133rd also extends to
••. arte'rial facility (continued...
b. Is the site currently served by public transit? If
not, what is the approximate distance to the nearest
transit stop? Yes, along South 133rd and Interurban Avenue.
c. How many parking spaces would the completed project
have? How many would the project eliminate? It is not specifically known how many
parking spaces will be provided as part of the completed project. However, the
size of the site combined with the requirements for setbacks and landscaping
indicate a building size range of approximately 10,000 to 15,000 square feet.
The parking requirement for such light industrial use is 1 stall per 1,000 square
feet of gross floor area. Therefore, the parking provided on the site will
probably range from 10 -15 stalls depending upon the final building size. The site
development will not displace existing parking stalls other than that utilized
presently for the existing single family rental use.

The site is relatively level, rising gently east to west at a slope of
approximately 5 %.
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate
percent slope)? Approximately 5%
c. What general types of soils are found on the site
(for example,, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If
you know the classification of agricultural soils,
specify them and note any prime farmland. The soils of the
subject site are within the Alderwood series which are primarily
gravelly, sandy loams and are moderately well- drained with weakly
consolidated to strongly consolidated substratum at a depth of 24 -40 inches.
The soils of the subject site have been disturbed in the past by logging and
residential activity. This soil type is quite common in the region and is(cont'd)
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable
soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe.
There are no surface indications or history of unstable soils on the
site. Some piling tor tounda insThave been utilize�a with other
industrial developments in the vicinity.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quanti-
ties of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate
source of fill. The proposal is for rezone only. It is
assumed that when the site is actually developed, certain excavation

No abnormal quantities are anticipated at this time.
g
. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing,
construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
Erosion can occur almost anywhere dPvPlopnint occurs_ The subject site
does not present any abnormal situation regarding erosion. It is anticipated
that when the site develops, '.Mitigation measures consistent with established
City ordinances will be utilized for temporary erncion control during
construction. Such measures may include sedimentation control ponds, (continued...)
• About what percent of the site will be covered with
impervious surfaces after project construction (for
example, asphalt or buildings)? Because this proposal is for rezone only,
specific site development plans are not known at this time. Therefore,
it is ditTicult to estimate site coverage of impervious surfaces. However,
such coverage will be typical of light industrial developments and within
City zoning code standards for maximum site coverage. Landscaping will be
installed per City Code as part of future site development.
• • Evaluation for
Agency Use Only
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or
other impacts to the earth, if any: As stated previously, it is anticipated
that the storm drainage system as designed to City Ordinance requirements .
will control on -site and off -site drainage and thereby help control erosion.
Temporary measures during construction will also be utilized as necessary.
The landscaping introduced to the site with the completed future development
should also reduce and control erosion.
2. Air
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from
the • proposal (i.e., dust, automobile odors,
industrial wood smoke) during construction and when
the project is completed? If any, generally
describe and, give approximate quantities if known.
No specific development is anticipated at this time. However, it can be
assumed that emissions normal to light industrial development and use will
occur with future development of the site. These are normally associated

b. Noise
1) What types of noise exist in the area which may
affect your project (for example: traffic,
equipment, operation, other)? Jhe ambient noise level of the site
is relatively high, given the close proximity of the site to the
freeway corridor 'and surrounding industrial use... Although such noise
levels are less acceptable to residential usage, they are compatible with
the proposed M -1 light industrial zoned future uses.
2) What types and levels of noise would be created
by or associated with the project on a short -
term or a long -term basis (for example: traf-
fic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate
what hours noise would come from the site. Although rezone of the site
does not grant approval for immediate site development, potential future site
development will create some noise within the noise levels of city and regional
regulations. These are most commonly associated with construction equipment and
activity during the site development, and increased automobile and truck traffic
once the development is completed and occupied. (continued...)
3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise
impacts, if any: Noises from site construction can be controlled by
establishment of acceptable times for such construction , as well as through
utilization of properly- maintained and muffled equipment. Although it is not
anticipated that operation of a lift industrial use on the site will exceed
the ambient noise level in the area, noise can be controlled by utilization of
baffles, mufflers, insulation or other acceptable sound attenuation(continued...)

j. Approximately how many people would the completed
project displace? Approximately 2 people.
k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement
impacts, if any: Suitable notice to the tenants will
be given at the time of actual site development.
1. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is com-
patible with existing and projected land uses and
plans, if .any: The subject site is adjacent to an existing
industrial use and is sutticiently distant trom nearby existing single
family uses, so that impacts wilT not be significant. Although there
are other light industrial uses turther east of the site along South
ree , i can 'e assume an•scape •u ering, setbacks, height
limits, and other City codes wilT be utilized to suitably buffer single
family uses on the east and south of the site. Such elements are normally
utilized per City ordinances to reduce such impacts in the short term,
while in the long term, it can be assumed that these uses will eventually
transition in a similar manner to light industrial uses consistent with
the comprehensive land use plan for the area.

c. How many parking spaces would the completed project
have? How many would the project eliminate? It is not specifically known<how many
parking spaces will be provided as part of the completed project. However, the
size of the site combined with the requirements for setbacks and landscaping
indicate a building size range of approximately 10,000 to 15,000 square feet.
The parking requirement for such light industrial use is 1 stall per 1,000 square
feet of gross floor area. Therefore, the parking provided on the site will
probably range from 10 -15 stalls depending upon the final building size. The site
development will not displace existing parking stalls other than that utilized
presently for the existing single family rental use.

aforegoing items of the Environmental Checklist.. This
information provides a. general overall perspective of the
proposed action in the contekt 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 propsal
are to attain compatible zoning with adjacent property immediately to
the north of the subject site and owned in the past by the applicant. The
genera1t rdais experiencing steady growth in light industrial development.
The site and general area is designated on the. Comprehensive Plan as Light
Industrial. The site was inadvertently excluded from the M -1 zoning pattern
for the area, as the last parcel within the City of Tukwila jurisdiction;
(City limits are located along the south and west boundary of the site).
M -1 zoning of the site is the most logical when considering a potential
zoning and site planning relationship with the adjacent industrial development.
2. What are the alternative means of accomplishing these
objectives? Reclassification appears to be the on Ty logical alternative
that is compatible with the comprehensive plan and the adjacent surrounding
industrial development.
3. Please compare the alternative means and indicate the
preferred course of action: The preferred course of action is
to rezone the property to M -1 compatible with adjacent established
City of Tukwila Zoning.
