Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director January 12, 2004 Mr. Kenneth T. Yorozu 26639 SE 18th Street Sammamish, WA 98075 RE: Business License Application Dear Mr. Yorozu: After reviewing the information you submitted to the City at the October 28, 2003 hearing, the City will consider your business vested non - conforming and the Community Development Department will sign off on the business license application. Yet, the approval of the business license will not close the code enforcement action that is currently pending on the property located at 13335 32 "d Avenue. The property is located in a residential neighborhood and appropriate measures need to be taken to minimize the impacts of the business on the surrounding properties. The large amount of materials that are currently stored in the front of you property must be removed. At one time a "Honey Bucket" was being kept on the site. This activity is not appropriate for a residential neighborhood. You have 30 -day from the date of this letter to find an alternative location for the items that are currently stored on the property. In addition, should the City receives complaints from residents of that area regarding the business, we shall reexamine our decision. You should be aware that any expansion of your business or a change in the nature of the business is limited due to the fact that your business appears to be non - conforming. If you have any questions, please call (206) 431 -3684 or send an email to bmiles ci.tu ila.wa.us. 7Y. erel andon J. des Assistant Planner cc.

Phone Directory from Whitepages.com K. Documentation submitted to the City on October 22, 2003 regarding non - conforming status. L. Sections of King County's Code governing home occupations On May 16, 2003 the City's Code Enforcement Officer noticed a large number of vehicles parked in front of 13335 32nd Avenue South. Upon investigation, the Code Enforcement Officer determined that the T. Yorozu Gardening Company was operating at the address. It was also determined that the business did not have a license to operate from the City of Tukwila in violation of City Code. The City Clerk's Office sent letters to the address informing the business that were in violation of City Code. On June 1, 2003, after the second letter, the applicant submitted for a City business license (Attachment A). On August 18, 2003, the City Clerk's Office, denied the business license for T. Yorozu Gardening (Attachment B). This denial was based on input from the Department of Community Development (DCD) that the use was not allowed in the Low Density Residential zoning, the use could 1 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 not meet the definition of a home occupation, and the applicant had provided no documentation that they were vested with legal non - conforming status. On September 3, 2003, the City Clerk received a letter from Mr. Yorozu requesting an appeal of the decision (Attachment C). The letter provided no specific reason on how the City made a mistake in denying the business license. II. T. Yorozu Gardening Company, Incorporated The description of the business for T. Yorozu Gardening Company on the City business license was landscape gardening. A review of the Washington State Contractor's registry has the business licensed as a general contractor (Attachment D). On the City business license, Mr. Yorozu noted that the total number of employees at the location was 11. In addition, fees for a business license are based upon the total number of employees working at the business. Mr. Yorozu paid $100, which is the fee for businesses that employs between 6 and 100 employees. Kenneth T. Yorozu, of Sammamish, is listed as the President of the company. David S. Yorozu of Seatac, is listed as the Vice President of the company. According to the applicants the business has been in operation since 1948. A visual survey of the property found a large number of cars parked outside of the property. There are also pipes, wooden pallets, and other items stored in the front of the property that are visible from the road (Attachment E). At night a large number of trucks are parked in the driveway (Attachment F). The City would classify the business as a contractor storage yard. III. Zoning The property at 13335 32nd Avenue South is zoned Low Density Residential (LDR). The intent of the zoning, according to the City's Zoning Code, "to provide low density family residential areas together with a full range of urban infrastructure services in order to maintain stable residential neighborhoods, and to prevent intrusions by incompatible land uses ". The surrounding land uses are single family homes. The permitted uses in the district do not include commercial businesses. In order for this business to operate at this location it must be considered a home occupation. Section 18.06.430 of the Tukwila Municipal Code defines a home occupation as an occupation or profession which is customarily incident to or carried on in a dwelling place and not one in which the use of the premises as a dwelling place is largely incidental to the occupation carried on by a resident of the dwelling, provided, that: 1. There shall be no change in the outside appearance of the surrounding residential development; 2. No home occupation shall be conducted in any accessory building; 3. Traffic generated by such home occupation shall not create a nuisance; 4. No equipment or process shall be used in such home occupation which creates noise, vibration, glare, fumes, odor, or electrical interference detectable to the normal senses off the lot; 5. The business involves no more than one person who is not a resident of the dwelling; and 6. An off - street parking space shall be made available for any non - resident employee. (Attachment H) 2 The above conditions are interpreted to mean at a minimum that: A. Employees do not come to the property on a daily or weekly basis. B. No more than one work car will be parked on or near the property at any one time C. Outside storage of materials will not occur D. Customers do not come to the premise (with the exception of day care centers) E. The interior of the premises appears to be primarily to be residence. F. The business operator visits customers at their location. This information is on the back of the City of Tukwila business license application that Mr. Yorozu submitted. Mr. Yorozu signed the part of the application indicating that he had read the information regarding operation of a home occupation. On June 27, 2003 City staff observed the property in question. On this date there were a large number of vehicles parked on the street next to the property. This was highly out of character with the other houses along 32nd Avenue. All of the vehicles were registered at locations outside of the City. When the property is observed in the evening hours the private vehicles parked along the road on gone, but a large number of white trucks are parked on the property. The property has been observed numerous times and the observations made on June 27, 2003 were made on these subsequent visits. In a letter dated June 30, 2003, the Department of Community Development asked Mr. Yorozu how he intended to meet he conditions of operating a business as a home occupation (Attachment 1). The City informed him that it appeared that he did not meet conditions one, three, five, and six. IV. The Use is Not Permitted in the Zone The Low Density Residential Zoning is not intended for commercial operations. Commercial operations are specifically excluded from all residential zoned area, for obvious reasons. Commercial operations have a negative impact on single - family dwellings, this includes, noise, hours of operations, traffic, and aesthetic impacts. The daytime photos of Mr. Yorozu's property demonstrate why commercial uses are not allowed in residential areas. • There are nine vehicles parked along the roadway • There are two work trucks parked in the driveway and six in the evening • There is a large amount of piping material stored on the property • Pallets are stacked along the edge of the property line and are as tall as the house • In the driveway there is sod layer parked next to the trucks • A portable bathroom is being stored on site The nighttime photos also indicate why commercial operations such as this are excluded from residential districts. • A large number of work trucks are parked in the home's driveway. Note that Mr. Yorozu signed the business license application after agreeing that only one work car would be parked outside of the house. 3 V. The business cannot be considered a Home Occupation The City allows home occupations within all residential zonings of the City. Yet, home occupations are intended to be incidental to the primary use of the building. The definition of home occupation in TMC 18.06.430 is clear about the standards that have to be met in order for a business to qualify as a home occupation. Mr. Yorozu business does not meet the definition of a home occupation r th 1. In order for the business to be considered a home occupation the applicant must reside at the btzsi essr -- On the business license Kenneth Yorozu has his home address listed in Sammamish and David Yorozu has his home address listed in Seatac. This is confirmed by a search of whitepages.com (Attachment J). The property at 13335 32nd Avenue South is essentially their place of business, not their residence. King County Assessor's data has the owner of the property being William Yorozu. 2. The home occupation definition notes that there shall be no change in the outside appearance of the surrounding residential development. These conditions have not been met. Employee vehicles are parked along the street and outside storage of materials is taking place. The photos submitted clearly show that the outside appearance of the house is out of character with the surrounding homes. Observation of the property during evening hours showed a large number of contractor trucks on the property. The business license that Mr. Yorozu signed noted that a home occupation was not permitted to have more than one work car parked on or near the property at any one time. The business does not meet this requirement. 3. The applicant has noted that he has 11 employees at the location. At a minimum 22.trips are generated per working day. That number just includes the employees coming and going to work. It does not include employees going to and from work sites, returning for supplies and deliveries that might be made to the premises. The City's definition of a home occupation clearly states that such traffic shall not create a nuisance. The business license which Mr. Yorozu signed states employees do not come to the property on a daily or weekly basis, this is not taking place. 4. Section 18.06.430 (5) states that a home occupation may not employ more than one person who is not a resident of the dwelling. The business license application states that 11 employees are employed by the business. Thus, the business does not meet this requirement of the home occupation definition. 5. All parking for a home occupation must be off - street (TMC 18.06.430 (5)). Parking for the business is currently along 32nd Avenue in the City's right -of -way. The business license application, that Mr. Yorozu signed, states that no more than one work car will be parked on or near the property at any one time. At the property in question over a half dozen cars are parked along the street and a large number of contractor trucks are parked on the property in the evening. Mr. Yorozu business does not meet the City's definition of a home occupation and thus cannot be granted a business license. 4 VI. Non - Conforming Issue The applicant stated on his business license that the business has been in operation since 1948. Yet the applicant provided no documentation to show that the business was operation at that time. The City annexed this area in the early 1990s. Prior to that it was under the jurisdiction of King County. In the June 30, 2003 letter, the City asked for documentation that would show that the business was legally established and operating at its current intensity prior to the City's annexation. The City gave the applicant two weeks to provide the documentation. In mid -July the applicant called and was given an extension to August 1, 2003. The City held off on making a decision on the business license until August 18, 2003, waiting for the applicant to submit the requested information. On October 22, 2003, the applicant submitted information regarding continuation of a non - conforming use (Attachment K). The material submitted included City of Seattle Business License information, Washington State Master License issued by the Department of Licensing, and a canceled check. The information does show that the business was operation at the address prior to annexation, yet it does not demonstrate that the business met the zoning standards of King County. The documents provided are from state and local agencies that did not have land use authority over the property. Prior to the early 1990s this area was under the jurisdiction of King County. Thus, the business would have had to meet King County County's land use regulations. Staff received a copy of King County's Code that would have governed the property prior to annexation (Attachment L). Under King County, the property had been zoned residential and the use, a contractor storage yard, was not a permitted use in the zone, there is no evidence of a special permit granted, nor would the business have met King County's home occupation requirements. King County defined a home occupation "[as] any activity undertaken for gain or profit and carried on in a dwelling, or building accessory to a dwelling, by a member or members of the family residing in the dwelling." A home occupation at that time must have met the following criteria as laid out in King Code section 21.08.030 -L: 1. Is carried on exclusively by a member or members of a family residing in the dwelling unit, 2. Is clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the property for dwelling purposes with the floor area devoted to the home occupation not exceeding twenty percent of the living area of the dwelling unit, 3. Has no display or sign not already permitted in the zone, expect that a home occupation which is conducted by a person who is medically certified as permanently disabled, and which is located on a state highway, may have a sign no larger than 24 square feet, 4. Has no outside storage nor other exterior indication of the home occupation or variation from the residential character of the property, 5. Does not require truck delivery or pickup, nor the installation of heavy equipment, large power tools or power sources not common to a residential dwelling, 6. Does not create a level of noise vibration, smoke, dust, odors, heat or glare beyond that which is common to residential area, 7. Does not create a level of parking demand beyond that which is normal to a residential area, 8. Does not include automobile, truck or heavy equipment repair, body work or painting; nor parking or storage of heavy equipment including trucks of over one -ton load capacity; nor storage of building materials such as lumber, plasterboard, pipe, paint, and the like, for the use on other premises; 9. All sales shall be an incidental use. The business has not been operated in compliance with King County requirements for home occupations. 1. King County's Code clearly states that the person operating a home business, must reside in the residence. As noted, the applicant does not reside at the residence. In violation of KCC 21.080.0300 -L (1). In addition, King County's Code did not allow home occupations to employ individuals who do not reside at the property. 2. King County's Code notes that there shall be no outside storage of materials. This is not occurring at the property. The photos submitted by the City show a large amount of outdoor storage on the property, in violation of KCC (21.08.030 -L (4). 3. Per KCC 21.08.030 -L (7), parking for the home occupation is not allowed to be a number beyond what is normal in a residential neighborhood. The applicant noted that that he employs 11 employees. The photos submitted show the large number of private vehicles that are parked along the City's right of way. 4. The applicant is currently storing a large amount of materials on the property. Under King County's Code this would not have been allowed (KCC 21.08.030 -L (8). The City concurs the use was operating in the 1980s before the City of Tukwila annexed the area. Yet, by applying King County regulations that were in affect at the time, the home occupation would not have been permitted. The burden of proof in establishing that a use is legally non - conforming lies with the applicant. The applicant has failed to provide any documentation demonstrating that the use, at its current intensity, met the applicable land use regulations governing the property. VII Conclusion The City's decision to deny the business license was based upon the following: 1. Contractor storage yards are not permitted in the Low Density Residential Zoning. 2. The business does not meet the definition and standards to be considered a home occupation. 3. The applicant has failed to provide any documentation showing that the use met the applicable zoning regulations of King County. VII Recommendation Based on the foregoing, the Hearing Examiner should deny the appeal of the business license denial.

The Department of Community Development has reviewed your application and found that your proposed business is currently zoned as Low Density Residential (LDR). In order for your business to be located at the above address, it must quality as a home occupation. The City defines a home occupation as "an occupation or profession which is customarily incident to or carried on in a dwelling place, and not one in which the use of the premises as a dwelling place is largely incidental to the occupation carried on by a member of the family residing with the dwelling place." The following conditions must be met by all home occupations: 1. There shall be no change in the outside appearance of the surrounding residential development. 2. No home occupation shall be conducted in any accessory building. 3. Traffic generated by such home occupations shall not create a nuisance. 4. No equipment or process shall be used in such home occupation that creates noise, vibration, glare, fumes, odor, or electrical interference detectable to the normal senses off the lot. 5. The business involves no more than one person who is not a resident of the dwelling. 6. An off - street parking space shall be made available for any non - resident employee.

This is out of compliance with the rule that home occupations are only permitted to have one employee who is not a residence of the dwelling. In conclusion, the business license application is being denied as: 1. The use must meet the standards as a home occupation under section 18.06.430 and 18.10 2. The applicant has failed to provide previously requested documentation regarding legal, non - conforming use. For these reasons, you are hereby advised it is illegal to conduct business in the City of Tukwila without a current business license. You may appeal this Notice of Non - Issuance to the Hearing Officer, provided that the appeal is made in writing and filed with the Office of the City Clerk within ten (10) days from the date of receipt of the Notice of Non - Issuance.

Inc 13335 32nd Ave S Tukwila, WA 98168 -3957 RE: Business License Application Dear Mr. Yorozu: Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Steve Lancaster, Director The City of Tukwila's Planning Department received your business license for the above address on June 27, 2003. The address is currently zoned as Low Density Residential (LDR). In order for your business to locate at the above address it must qualify as a home occupation. The City defines a home occupation as, "an occupation or profession which is customarily incident to or carried on in a dwelling place, and not one in which the use of the premises as a dwelling place is largely incidental to the occupation carried on by a member of the family residing with the dwelling place ". The following conditions must be met by all home occupations: 1. There shall be no change in the outside appearance of the surrounding residential development; 2. No home occupation shall be conducted in any accessory building; 3. Traffic generated by such home occupations shall not create a nuisance 4. No equipment or process shall be used in such home occupation which creates noise, vibration, glare, fumes, odor, or electrical interference detectable to the normal senses off the lot; 5. The business involves no more than one person who is not a resident of the dwelling; and 6. An off - street parking space shall be made available for any non- resident employee. City staff noticed that there are a significant number of vehicles parked on the street near the property. On June 27, 2003, City staff noticed that there were a total of 11 automobiles parked on the street. This was highly out of character with the surrounding houses on the street. At about 5:30 PM that same day, City staff noticed that most of the vehicles were gone. This leads staff to believe that the vehicles were employees associated with the business and not residents of the house. In addition, you have noted that there are 11 employees associated with the business. As noted above, home occupations are only permitted to have one employee who is not a residence of the dwelling. ATTACHMENT 1 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington -3665 It appears to City staff that the home occupation is unable to meet conditions number one, three, five, and six. Please respond, in writing, as to how the above conditions will be met. In the business license application it was noted that the business has been operating since 1948. Has the business the business always been located at the above address? If the business has been operating there please provide documentation that at time of annexation the property was legally allowed by King County at the current intensity. Please respond to this letter within two weeks of receipt of this letter. Unless additional information is submitted to the City for review the business license application will be denied. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (206) 431 -3684 or email me at bmiles@ci.tukwila.wa.us. I3tan J. Miles Assistant Planner cc.

The Department of Community Development has reviewed your application and found that your proposed business is currently zoned as Low Density Residential (LDR). In order for your business to be located at the above address, it must quality as a home occupation. The City defines a home occupation as "an occupation or profession which is customarily incident to or carried on in a dwelling place, and not one in which the use of the premises as a dwelling place is largely incidental to the occupation carried on by a member of the family residing with the dwelling place." The following conditions must be met by all home occupations: 1. There shall be no change in the outside appearance of the surrounding residential development. 2.

This is out of compliance with the rule that home occupations are only permitted to have one employee who is not a residence of the dwelling.

Code Enforcemen RE: Yorozu Gardening Company Business License Application DATE: August 15, 2003 The Planning Department cannot approve the business license for Yorozu Gardening Incorporated located at 13335 32 "d Avenue South. Discussions This business is currently being operated out of a single - family house and the property is zoned as Low Density Residential (LDR). In order for a business to locate in this zoning it must be a home occupation. A home occupation is defined as, "...an occupation or profession which is customarily incident to or carried on in a dwelling place, and not one in which the use of the premises as a dwelling place is largely incidental to the occupation carried on by a member of the family residing with the dwelling place ". Home occupations must meet all of the following conditions: 1. There shall be not change in the outside appearance of the surrounding residential development; 2. No home occupation shall be conducted in any accessory building; 3. Traffic generate by such home occupations shall not create a nuisance; 4. No equipment or process shall be used in such home occupation which creates noise, vibration, glare fumes, odor, or electrical interference detectable to the normal senses off the lot; 5. The business involves no more than one person who is not a resident of the dwelling; and 6. An off - street parking space shall be made available for any non - resident employee. The business does not meet conditions one, three, five and six. DCD staff drove must the site several times and there were eleven cars parked along the street adjacent to the house. Further research showed that none of the vehicles parked outside of the house were licensed at that address or any other address along the 32" Avenue. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 • • The business license application noted that the original date of opening for the business was 1948. In a letter dated June 30, 2003, DCD staff asked for evidence that the business was operating legally at its current intensity prior to annexation into the City. The applicant has failed to provide any such information and did not respond to the letter. Conclusion The business licensee application is being denied for the following reasons. • The use must meet the standards as a home occupation under section 18.06.430 and 18.10. • The applicant has provided no documentation showing that the business is a legal non- conforming use.

The address is currently zoned as Low Density Residential (LDR). In order for your business to locate at the above address it must qualify as a home occupation. The City defines a home occupation as, "an occupation or profession which is customarily incident to or carried on in a dwelling place, and not one in which the use of the premises as a dwelling place is largely incidental to the occupation carried on by a member of the family residing with the dwelling place ".

City staff noticed that there are a significant number of vehicles parked on the street near the property. On June 27, 2003, City staff noticed that there were a total of 11 automobiles parked on the street. This was highly out of character with the surrounding houses on the street. At about 5:30 PM that same day, City staff noticed that most of the vehicles were gone. This leads staff to believe that the vehicles were employees associated with the business and not residents of the house. In addition, you have noted that there are 11 employees associated with the business. As noted above, home occupations are only permitted to have one employee who is not a residence of the dwelling. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665 • • It appears to City staff that the home occupation is unable to meet conditions number one, three, five, and six. Please respond, in writing, as to how the above conditions will be met. In the business license application it was noted that the business has been operating since 1948. Has the business the business always been located at the above address? If the business has been operating there please provide documentation that at time of annexation the property was legally allowed by King County at the current intensity. Please respond to this letter within two weeks of receipt of this letter. Unless additional information is submitted to the City for review the business license application will be denied.

City Clerk's Office Kathy Stetson - T. Yorozu Gardening C: • From: To: Date: Subject: Barbara Saxton Joyce Trantina; Kathy Stetson 6/26/03 3:40PM T. Yorozu Gardening Co. Here's the scoop so far: Kathy called checking on this "home" business last month, as there are always a lot of cars parked outside of it on weekdays. I sent them a letter May 27th saying they are "operating a business without a valid license." They sent back their application, but did not fill in the "description of business" blank. The other interesting thing is that they marked "No," it is not a home occupation. Two owners of the business were listed, with their home addresses being in Sammamish and SeaTac. I sent the application form back to them on June 6 with a letter asking for a "description of business." I also advised that the address is in a residential zone and therefore the conditions on the back side of the application would apply (i.e. employees do not come to the property on a daily basis, and no more than one work car will be parked....). I received the application back today, and they filled in the description of business section and signed the back of the form. The other interesting thing is that we have been distributing dump pass coupons to residents the past two weeks. Last week someone can in to pick up their coupon and also had their neighbor's coupon so they could pick it up for them. The neighbor's coupon was 13335 32nd Ave. S., and she said their name was "Yorozu." So Yorozu lives there, and it is the address for the business, but it's not a home business because the owners live somewhere else ' ' '? I am sending their application over to Brandon if any of you want to look at it too. CC: Brandon Miles
