The City then hired Dave Hickok to do noise research. He described the results at the public meeting held on March 22nd.

Council recognized that something needed to be adopted to implement this plan. An ordinance was passed requiring land uses inconsistent with the Compre- hensive Plan Map to come before Council for approval. The original Ordinance stated that you had to make a complete application for a building permit before it was put on the agenda for Council consideration. The proposed Ordinance introduced this evening will loosen up this procedure. The applicant will not have to go to the time and expense to have completed drawings to apply for a waiver. Council would act and give preliminary approval then the applicant would complete the drawings and come back for final approval. Mayor Bauch explained that he has discussed the proposed ordinance with the City Attorney and he recommends inserting the word "significant" between 'any' and 'deviation' in the first sentence on Page 2. Council discussed what the word significant would mean. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING April 3, 1978 Page 4 ORDINANCES Cont.
