CITY OF TUKWILA
DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE (DNS) ADDENDUM 2
Description of Original Proposal:
On February 12, 2010, the SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination of Non -
Significance regarding amendments to Title 18 of the City's Zoning Code. The following
amendments were proposed:
1. Chapter 18.06 will be modified to include definitions of Crisis Diversion Facility (CDF),
Crisis Diversion Interim Service (CDIS); the existing definitions of hospital, correction
institutions, convalescent/nursing homes and inpatient facilities are proposed to be
modified.
2. Crisis Diversion Facilities and Crisis Diversion Interim Service Facilities are proposed to
be listed as unclassified uses within certain areas of the City.
The original checklist dated February 8, 2010 applied to the entire city, but focused on allowing
the CDF and the CDIS with the Tukwila Urban Center (Southcenter) area of the City. In May of
2010, the SEPA Responsible Official issued addendum 1 to the SEPA Determination. The
addendum defined a new geographical area in which CDF and CDIS facilities could locate. On
May 27, 2011, the Tukwila City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2287 which allowed CDF and
CDIS facilities in the area that was described in Addendum 1.
Description of Addendum 2
In January of 2011, the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearing's Board invalidated
Ordinance No. 2287. In the Board's decision, the Board asserts that Ordinance No. 2287 does
not comply with the provisions of the Growth Management Act. Additionally, on April 14, 2011
the Washington State Legislature passed Substitute House Bill 1170 addressing Triage facilities,
providing a definition for such uses, and allowing Police Officer to use such facilities for
individuals suffering from mental illness.
In response to the Board's Decision and to accommodate House Bill 1170, the City proposes
expanding the area of the City in which Diversion Facilities and Diversion Interim Service
Facilities can locate. The City also proposes to amend the definition of Diversion facilities to
include the State's definition of "Triage Facilities".
Diversion and Diversion Interim facilities are currently permitted within a defined area of West
Valley Hwy. The City is considering allowing such facilities along all of West Valley Hwy, a
majority of the Urban Center, and in all non-residential zoning south of S. 180th Street. As part
of the original SEPA Checklist, the City examined the environmental impact with allowing such

W:\Users\BRANDON\Review File\SEPA Addendum.doc
uses in the areas previously mentioned. The DNS originally was to allow Diversion and
Diversion Interim Facilities to locate within part of the Urban Center. The areas listed, have a
built environment that is similar to the area that was included in the original DNS. Thus, there
are not environmental impacts that cannot be mitigated.
Proponent: City of Tukwila
Location of Proposal: Citywide
Lead Agency: City Of Tukwila
File Number: E10-003
The City has determined that the addendum does not have a probable significant adverse impact
on the environment. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW
43.21c.030 (2) (c). This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist
and other information on filer with the lead agency. This information is available to the public
on request. The original DNS was issued February 12, 2010. This addendum is adopted on
April 18, 2011.

Applicant Responses: Agency Comments
B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. Earth
a. General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes,
mountainous, other:
This is a non -project action
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
This is a non -project action.
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.
This is a non -project action
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity?
If so, describe.
This is a non -project action and is not site specific.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading
proposed. Indicate source of fill.
Non -project action .
• •
Please respond to all questions. Use separate sheets as necessary.
Applicant Responses: Agency Comments
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use?
If so, generally describe.
Non -project action.
g.
About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
Non -project action.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any:
Non -project action
2. Air
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (for example, dust,
automobile odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is
completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known.
Non -project action. It is possible that a fitture CDF and/or CDIS facilities will locate within the
Southcenter area of the City. If so, the proposed uses could generate automobile traffic which will generate
automobile exhaust. Any emissions would be typical of other uses within the Southcenter area.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so,
generally describe.
None known, this is a non -project SEPA checklist.
• •
Please respond to all questions. Use separate sheets as necessary.
Applicant Responses: Agency Comments
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
No measures are anticipated to be needed for these code changes to move ahead.
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.
As noted the proposed code amendments will apply cihywide. City staff has proposed
that CDF and CDIS facilities be allowed in the Southcenter area via an unclassified
use permit. The Southcenter area contains portions of the Green River and Tukwila
Pond. The impacts to surface water bodies will be examined on a case by case basis
when a site specific project is proposed.

description, purpose, and approximate quantities, if known.
Non -project action.
5. Does the proposal lie within a 100 -year floodplain? If so, note location on the site plan.
This is a non -project action that will be citywide. There are parts of the City that
are within the 100 year floodplain. As noted, staff is proposing to allow CDF and
CDIS facilities within the Southcenter area. Due to the presence of the 205 Levee,
most of the Southcenter area is considered outside of the 100 -year floodplain. Any
proposed project will have to comply with the City's sensitive area and flood
regulations.
6. Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so,
describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge.
Non Project Action
b. Ground:
1. Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to ground water? Give
general description, purpose, and approximate quantities, if known.

other sources, 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:
The proposed uses that are being addressed with this code amendment will be large
institutional uses that will likely connect directly to public sewer. Again, this is a
non -project action, thus specific site specific impacts are not known.
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? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe.
Non -project action. Any proposed project will have to comply with the City's surface
water regulations at the time a complete application is submitted.
2. Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe.
Non -project action.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any:
4. Plants

D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NON -PROJECT PROPOSALS
(do not use this sheet for project actions)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction
with the list of 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 implemented. Respond briefly and in general
terms.
1. How would the proposals be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions
to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or
production of noise?
None are anticipated. The proposed code amendments will modifij the allowable uses within the City's zoning
districts. These are minor code changes that will not have an impact on the natural environment. The CDF
and CDIS will be allowed within the Southcenter area which is already a built out environment. Any new
development under these code changes will have to comply with zoning and development regulations at the time
of submittal of a complete application.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
None anticipated
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine
life?
No impacts anticipated. Any fitture project will be required to comply with all zoning and
development regulations at the time an application is submitted
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life
are:
N/A
• •
Please respond to all questions. Use separate sheets as necessary.

areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental
protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or
endangered species habitats, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or
prime farmlands?
Agency Comments
The proposed code amendments would not change the substantive requirements for mitigation or preservation
in sensitive areas. Any developments under this code amendment will be required to comply with the Cih,/'s
SAO, Shoreline and Tree protection ordinances.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
N/A
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including
whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with
existing plans?
The proposed code amendment will clarify the allowable uses within various city zones. The
purpose of this code measure is to ensure that CDF and CDIS facilities are located within a
zoning category appropriate for their anticipated impacts; while also preventing such uses from
locating within zones where they may be incompatible to surrounding land uses.

DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE (DNS) ADDENDUM
Description of Original Proposal:
On February 12, 2010, the SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination of Non -Significance
regarding amendments to Title 18 of the City's Zoning Code. The following amendments were proposed:
1 Chapter 18.06 will be modified to include definitions of Crisis Diversion Facility (CDF), Crisis
Diversion Interim Service (CDIS); the existing definitions of hospital, correction institutions,
convalescent/nursing homes and inpatient facilities are proposed to be modified.
2. Crisis Diversion Facilities and Crisis Diversion Interim Service Facilities are proposed to be listed
as unclassified uses within certain areas of the City.
The original checklist dated February 8, 2010 applied to the entire city, but focused on allowing the CDF
and the CDIS with the Tukwila Urban Center (Southcenter) area of the City.
Description of Addendum:
On May 3, 2010, the Tukwila City Council requested that staff examine the West Valley Highway area of
the City to determine if the area was appropriate for the CDF and/or CDIS. Portions of West Valley Hwy
are zoned Tukwila Urban Center and thus were examined under the DNS issued on February 12, 2010.
The southern part of West Valley is zoned Commercial/Light Industrial. The physical environment of the
north portion of West Valley Hwy is similar to the area around Southcenter Mall, while the southern area
of West Valley has a built environment similar to the built environment of the southern area of Tukwila
Urban Center. Both areas are located adjacent to the Green River and both areas of a similar natural
environment. Like the Urban Center, the West Valley Hwy area of the City is served by existing City
roads and can utilize. existing City utilities.
Proponent: City of Tukwila
Location of Proposal: Citywide
Lead Agency: City Of Tukwila
File Number: E 10-003
The City has determined that the addendum does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the
environment. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21c.030 (2) (c).
