(Attachment C) On March 5, 2007, the City Council held a public meeting on this proposal and referred it to the Planning Commission for a hearing and recommendation. Vicinity/Site Information The applicant proposes to redesignate approximately .63 acres of a 1.35 acre property from Residential Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) at 14427 51st Avenue South. The site is part of the Bonsai Northwest nursery operation, and is immediately south of the Bonsai Northwest retail store. It contains a large plastic greenhouse in the northeast portion of the property closest to the Bonsai Northwest business. The rest of the property is vacant. The Citrus Longhorned Beetle quarantine was recently lifted in the area. The Sensitive Areas Overlay shows that approximately 40% of the entire site is located within a Class 2 area of potential geologic instability. (Attachment D—Sensitive Areas Map) Class 2 areas are those where "landslide potential is moderate, which include areas sloping between 15 and 40 percent and which are underlain by relatively permeable soils." Geotechnical review was not prepared for this application since the requested designation is less intensive than the current designation (i.e. downzone). A geotechnical study will show what portion of the area proposed for Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Map change includes environmentally sensitive steep slopes. (Attachment E) Geotechnical studies will be required for any future development, including a short plat. The applicant proposes to connect future residential development directly to 51st Avenue South and to the adjacent South 146th Street cul-de-sac via an existing easement with adjacent property owners. Surrounding Uses Land uses immediately adjacent to the portion of the site are: North—Bonsai Northwest retail nursery South—Single family homes East— Office/commercial, roadway, West— Single-family homes Land uses between 500 and 1,000 feet from the site include the following: North—S. 144th South—Single-family residential Rf 2 03/15/2007 Q:\COMP PLAN AMEND 2006-2007\PCStaffReptBonsai#L06-095-3.22.07.doc • PCStaffReptBonsai#L06-095-3.22.07.doc East—I-5 freeway, Sound Transit light rail West—Single-family residential File # L06-095—COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CRITERIA: 1) Describe how the issue is addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. If the issue is not adequately addressed, is there a need for it? Providing housing and strengthening neighborhoods is an important goal of the Comprehensive Plan. Goal 3.1 (Housing) Continue to provide the City's fair share of regional housing Policy 3.1.1 (Housing) Provide sufficient zoned housing potential to accommodate future single- and multi family households Policy 7.6.4 (Residential Neighborhoods) Support single-family residential in -fill housing that is in harmony with the existing neighborhood as a means of achieving adequate, affordable, and/or diverse housing. 2) Impacts The property is currently Residential Commercial Center (RCC), a district that is "intended to create and maintain pedestrian -friendly commercial areas characterized and scaled to serve a local neighborhood." Characteristic permitted uses in RCC include beauty shops, laundries, small offices, selected retail, multi -family units above retail/office and nurseries. One single-family unit is permitted per lot in the RCC. LDR is considered to be a less intensive zone than RCC. If a portion of the property were redesignated to LDR, future housing development would have less impact than other potential RCC uses. The requested Comprehensive Plan map change would potentially make several lots available for residential development by reducing the RCC zone and extending adjacent Low Density Residential zone (LDR) zone north and east. No development is proposed at this time. Specific lot layout would be worked out during a future short plat process. 3) Is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public need? What other options are there for meeting the identified public need? The subject property abuts LDR to the west and south, and RCC on the north and east. Future RCC use and development of the property is limited by access and topography. The proposed change to LDR would allow single-family residential use to extend east from the existing Foster Heights development via the cul-de-sac on South 146th Street, as well as along 51st Avenue South. Rf 3 03/15/2007 Q:\COMP PLAN AMEND 2006-2007\PCStaffReptBonsai4L06-095-3.22.07.doc • PC StaffReptBonsai#L06-095-3.22.07.doc 4) Will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community? If not, what result can be expected and why? The proposed change would reduce the amount of property for commercial use, but redesignating the property for future residential development could benefit the community with additional single-family housing. Future residential development potential could be limited by site considerations including steep slopes and potential geological instability. The property lies in an area with moderate potential for geologic instability, so any construction would require extra care. At present, there is no access to the site from S. 146th Street, a public roadway that ends in a cul-de-sac. In order to connect to S. 146th Street, the applicant would use existing easements from adjacent property owners. Alternately, if the applicant wanted to use 51st Avenue South to access one or more lots, it would be necessary to address steep slope issues. Slope, access and lot layout details would be worked out during future short plat review. The request divides the property's Comprehensive Plan designation and zoning into two portions, and would result in "split" Comprehensive Plan and zoning on the same property. This could potentially allow incompatible residential and commercial uses on the same property. It is not City practice. CONCLUSIONS In reviewing Comprehensive Plan criteria, staff concludes that: 1) The proposed change is consistent with the community goal of providing housing; 2) Impacts of future housing development are potentially less than the impacts of future commercial development that is presently allowed on the site; 3) The site is adjacent to low density residential development, and redesignating the property for future single family development would benefit the community by extending a residential neighborhood. 4) The request covers only a portion of the property, and splits the property into two separate Comprehensive Plan/Zoning designations. It is not desirable to allow two Comprehensive Plan designations/zones on the same property. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approving the applicant's request to redesignate Comprehensive Plan for a portion of the property located at 12247 51St Avenue South from Residential Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) subject to the following condition: • the applicant shall complete a boundary line adjustment separating the RCC portion of the property from the LDR portion within three months of City Council approval of the request. Rf 4 03/15/2007 Q:\COMP PLAN AMEND 2006-2007\PCStaffReptBonsai#L06-095-3.22.07.doc PCStaffReptBonsai#L06-095-3.22.07.doc File # L06-096 -- ZONING MAP AMENDMENT/REZONE REZONE CRITERIA: 1. The proposed amendment to the zoning map is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan Per the discussion of Comprehensive Plan Criteria (above), providing housing and strengthening neighborhoods is an important goal of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed rezone/Zoning Map change from Residential Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) is consistent with this goal and accompanying policies. 2. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with the scope and purpose of this title and the description and purpose of the zone classification applied for. Per TMC 18.10.010 Purpose, the Low Density Residential (LDR) district is "...intended to provide low-density family residential areas together with a full range or urban infrastructure services in order to maintain stable residential neighborhoods, and to prevent intrusions by incompatible land uses." The proposed rezone from Residential Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) would fulfill this purpose by allowing single family, detached housing to be built. 3. There are changed conditions since the previous zoning became effective to warrant the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map Since the site was zoned RCC in 1995, the neighborhood near the property has become more residential in nature. A cul-de-sac allowing residential access has been constructed on S. 146th. Utilities are now also available, and residences have been built adjacent to the site. 4. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map will be in the interest of furtherance of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare, and will not adversely affect the surrounding neighborhoods, nor be injurious to other properties in the vicinity in which the subject property is located Downzoning from a more intensive, commercial zone (Residential Commercial Center—RCC) to a less intensive residential zone (Low Density Residential—LDR), would benefit the surrounding neighborhood. Removing vacant commercial property from a residential neighborhood reduces potentially adverse impacts on the adjacent properties, and constructing housing would enhance the overall residential feel of the area.

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approving the applicant's request to change the Zoning Map to rezone a portion of the property located at 12247 51st Avenue South from Residential Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR). The approval of the rezone is subject to the approval of the Comprehensive Plan map change and accompanying condition for a boundary line adjustment, as discussed above.

Describe how the issue is addressed in the comprehensive plan. If the issue is not adequately addressed, is there a need for the proposed plan? We believe the change is supported by the following goals and policies of the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan. Tukwila Municipal Code Goals and Policies Goal 3.1 Continue to provide the City's fair share of regional housing. Policies 3.1.1 Provide sufficient zoned housing potential to accommodate future single- and multi -family households. 3.1.2 Establish 6.7 dwelling units per acre (6,500 -square -foot lots) as a maximum for single-family neighborhoods. Goal 3.5 Improved neighborhood quality by reducing the transient nature of neighborhoods. Policy 3.5.1 Increase long-term residency m the City. Goal 7.3 Overall Land Use Pattern A land use pattern that encourages a strong sense of community by grouping compatible and mutually supportive uses and separating incompatible uses.

A.2. Why is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public need? What other options are there for meeting the identified public need? We propose converting a commercial property abutting a residential cul de sac to residential property to be developed with homes compatible with the neighborhood. Current zoning is commercial. Due to the slope in the center of the property, the flat area on the southwest side of the property where we propose the rezone is only accessible through the cul de sac on South 146th Street. According to Tukwila Municipal Code 9.28.020 . Commercial vehicles are prohibited from using this road; therefore the commercial uses of this property are severely limited. This rezone will also complete the residential development of the cul de sac on South 146th Street. A.3. Why will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community? If not, what type of benefit can be expected and why? We believe replacing commercial property with residential lots promotes the city's stated goals of: "A land use pattern that encourages a strong sense of community by grouping compatible and mutually supportive uses and separating incompatible uses". Comprehensive Plan Amendment Criteria TMC18.80.010 B.1. A detailed statement of what is proposed and why. 2 • We are proposing changing the zoning of a portion of an RCC zoned lot to LDR, allowing the property to be developed for single family residences. We are doing this to maximize the use of the property and to enhance the residential nature of the cul de sac. B.2. A statement of the anticipated impacts of the change, including the geographic area affected and the issues presented by the proposed change. Infrastructure is already in place and currently abutting the commercial property; we anticipate no adverse impact to the neighborhood. B.3. An explanation of why the current comprehensive plan or development regulations are deficient or should not continue in effect. Current zoning retains commercial property on a residential cul de sac. Goal 7.3 Overall Land Use Pattern A land use pattern that encourages a strong sense of community by grouping compatible and mutually supportive uses and separating incompatible uses.

Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. (2) Reduce sprawl. Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density development. RCW 36.70A.070 Comprehensive plans — Mandatory elements. The comprehensive plan of a county or city that is required or chooses to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 shall consist of a map or maps, and descriptive text covering objectives, principles, and standards used to develop the comprehensive plan. The plan shall be an internally consistent document and all elements shall be 3 • consistent with the future land use map. A comprehensive plan shall be adopted and amended with public participation as provided in RCW 36.70A.140. (2) A housing element ensuring the vitality and character of established residential neighborhoods that: (a) Includes an inventory and analysis of existing and projected housing needs that identifies the number of housing units necessary to manage projected growth; (b) includes a statement of goals, policies, objectives, and mandatory provisions for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing, including single-family residences; (c) identifies sufficient land for housing, including, but not limited to, government -assisted housing, housing for low-income families, manufactured housing, multifamily housing, and group homes and foster care facilities; and (d) makes adequate provisions for existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community. B.5. A statement of how the proposed amendment complies with applicable Countywide Planning Policies The Countywide Planning Policy as with the Growth Management Act and the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan share the goals of simultaneously reducing urban sprawl, increasing the number of residences to accommodate future population growth, and maintaining the quality and vitality of neighborhoods. We believe converting the zoning from commercial to residential will aid in these goals. B.6. A statement of what changes, if any, would be required in functional plans if the proposed amendment is adopted. We don't anticipate any changes in functional plans. B.7. A statement of what capital improvements, if any, would be needed to support the proposed change, and how the proposed change will affect the capital facilities plans of the city. We don't anticipate any capital improvements by the city. B.8. A statement of what other changes, if any, are required in other city codes, plans, or regulations to implement the proposed change.

That the proposed amendment to the Zoning map is consistent with the scope and purpose of this title and the description and purpose of the zone classification applied for. ? 3. That there are changed conditions since the previous zoning became effective to warrant the proposed amendments to the zoning map. The completion on the residential Cul de Sac on South 146th has provided • residential access to our property. Utilities are aslo available. By allowing the zoning amendment we will be able to utilize the property which there was limited access to and enhance the character of the residential neighborhood which it abuts. 4. That the proposed amendment to the zoning map will be in the interest of furtherance of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare, and will not adversely affect the surrounding neighborhoods, nor be injurious to other properties in the vicinity in which the subject property is located. We believe that by allowing the rezone amendment that there will be absolutely no detrimental effects to the neighborhood. In fact by allowing it, it will remove vacant commercial property in a residential neighborhood allowing housing to be built consistent with the current neighborhood and should enhance the quality of the area. • • • lat iO ,.: ��;: � ���n•�I�::rf f CimorrimsTastatuforna 611 9 ,., e - - �° s+► t`. . 1 — — 'fir ' ' � , . ti o onsai kW City of Tukwila Bonsai RCC to LEM L06-095 & L06-094 wmattf,-•.. • © 0 o Type 2 Stream -, Type 2 Stream in Pipe - Type 3 Stream - Type 3 Stream in Pipe - Type 4 Stream - Type 4 Stream in Pipe NMI 1.

Exhibit 1 Planning Commission Staff Report March 15, 2007 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS BACKGROUND: Project History The applicant John Muth proposes to amend the Comprehensive Plan (Attachment A) and Zoning map (Attachment B) to redesignate a part of his property at 14427 51m Avenue South, Tukwila from Regional Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) (Attachment C). On March 5, 2007, the City Council held a public meeting on this proposal and referred it to the Planning Commission for a hearing and recommendation. Vicinity/Site Information The applicant proposes to redesignate approximately .63 acres of a 1.35 acre property from Residential Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) at 14427 51m Avenue South. The site is part of the Bonsai Northwest nursery operation, and is immediately south of the Bonsai Northwest retail store. It contains a large plastic greenhouse in the northeast portion of the property closest to the Bonsai Northwest business. The rest of the property is vacant. The Citrus Longhomed Beetle quarantine was recently lifted in the area. The Sensitive Areas Overlay shows that approximately 40% of the entire site is located within a Class 2 area of potential geologic instability. (Attachment D—Sensitive Areas Map) Class 2 areas are those where "landslide potential is moderate, which include areas sloping between 15 and 40 percent and which are underlain by relatively permeable soils." Geotechnical review was not prepared for this application since the requested designation is less intensive than the current designation (i.e. downzone). A geotechnical study will show what portion of the area proposed for Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Map change includes environmentally sensitive steep slopes. (Attachment E) Geotechnical studies will be required for any future development, including a short plat. The applicant proposes to connect future residential development directly to 51St Avenue South and to the adjacent South 146th Street cul-de-sac via an existing easement with adjacent property owners. Surrounding Uses Land uses immediately adjacent to the portion of the site are: North—Bonsai Northwest retail nursery South—Single family homes East— Office/commercial, roadway, West— Single-family homes C:\Documents and Settings\Al Users\Desktop\KelIp MSDATA\Ordinances\RCC to LDR Muth Exhibit 1.doc RF 11/282007 Page 1 • • Land uses between 500 and 1,000 feet from the site include the following: North—S. 144t South—Single-family residential East—I-5 freeway, Sound Transit light rail West—Single-family residential File # L06-096 -- ZONING MAP AMENDMENT/REZONE REZONE CRITERIA: 1. The proposed amendment to the zoning map is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan Per the discussion of Comprehensive Plan Criteria (above), providing housing and strengthening neighborhoods is an important goal of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed rezone/Zoning Map change from Residential Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) is consistent with this goal and accompanying policies. 2. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with the scope and purpose of this title and the description and purpose of the zone classification applied for. Per TMC 18.10.010 Purpose, the Low Density Residential (LDR) district is "...intended to provide low-density family residential areas together with a full range or urban infrastructure services in order to maintain stable residential neighborhoods, and to prevent intrusions by incompatible land uses." The proposed rezone from Residential Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) would fulfill this purpose by allowing single family, detached housing to be built. 3. There are changed conditions since the previous zoning became effective to warrant the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map Since the site was zoned RCC in 1995, the neighborhood near the property has become more residential in nature. A cul-de-sac allowing residential access has been constructed on S. 146t. Utilities are now also available, and residences have been built adjacent to the site. 4. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map will be in the interest of furtherance of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare, and will not adversely affect the surrounding neighborhoods, nor be injurious to other properties in the vicinity in which the subject property is located Downzoning from a more intensive, commercial zone (Residential Commercial Center—RCC) to a less intensive residential zone (Low Density Residential—LDR), would benefit the surrounding neighborhood. Removing vacant commercial property from a residential neighborhood reduces potentially adverse impacts on the adjacent properties, and constructing housing would enhance the overall residential feel of the area. C:\Documents and SettingMll Users\Desktop\Kelly\MSDATA\Ordinances\RCC to LDR Muth Exhibit I.doc RF 11/28/2007 Page 2 • • CONCLUSIONS 1) The proposed change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan goal of providing housing and improving neighborhoods; 2) The rezone is consistent with the purpose of the Low Density Residential (LDR) district. 3) Changed conditions, including recently -constructed residences and available access and utilities, warrant the change. 4) Impacts of future housing development are potentially less than the impacts of future commercial development that is presently allowed on the site, and would be beneficial to the area.

Cantu, CMC, City Clerk Published Seattle Times: December 6, 2007 • • City of Tukwila Page 4 of 11 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes December 3 2007 tie valid until December 31, 2012. Ms. Miranda utilized.a Powerpoint presentation to provide information regarding issues with the temporary station to Include safety, general maintenance, signage, artwork, and parking for vehicles and bicycles. The staff is recommending approval of the UUP request by Sound Transit, with conditions, and to be valid until December 31, 2012. 8:15:08 p.m. Mayor Mullet opened the public hearing and called for citizen comments. Paul Cornish from Sound Transit used a Powerpoint presentation to convey the history behind decisions made regarding the station, maintenance and management, and a projected schedule for completion of the permanent station in 2011-2012. Barbara Bader, 13660 Military Road South, commented that it seems unreasonable for it to take 12 years to build a permanent station. She also conveyed a sign that says "Tukwila" stuck in cement buckets is embarrassing. Betty Gully, 13017 Macadam Road South, indicated that she has been to the station and finds it embarrassing and not depicting the correct image for Tukwila. The Councilmembers discussed this issue at length and offered the following comments and concerns: the possibility that necessary improvements to parking may not be finished prior to completion of the permanent station; the criteria regarding signage and artwork is too vague; the temporary station should be outfitted with LED lighting to alert riders of necessary announcements; the need to assure full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); the necessity for greater safety and security measures such as handrails on both sides of the platform and a telephone at the station; assurance that the temporary facility projects a quality image of the City; and further information regarding funding from other areas of Sound Transit projects that could possibly be utilized for the Tukwila station. 8:47:45 p.m. Mayor Mullet closed the public hearing. b. Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map Amendments. 1. An ordinance amending the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Transportation Element.

Do you stand to gain or lose by your decision on this matter? 3. Have you had any ex -parte communications regarding this application? Each of the 7 Councilmembers answered "NO" to all of the above questions. • • City of Tukwila Page 5 of 11 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes December 3 2007 Ms. Kerslake also asked if there was anyone who objected to the Councilmembers hearing this matter. There was no response from the audience to this inquiry for each of the 7 Councilmembers. Ms. Kerslake provided an overview of the 4 criteria for Rezones to provide context to the Council when considering the testimony during the public hearing. 8:56:40 p.m. Mayor Mullet opened the public hearing and called for citizen comments. John Muth, 5021 South 144th Street, applicant for this project, explained the property is currently not accessible and would end up a vacant lot if not for this rezone. 8:57:39 p.m. Mayor Mullet closed the public hearing. 3. An ordinance rezoning certain property generally bounded by East Marginal Way South, South Norfolk Street, Airport Way South and Boeing Access Road, from Manufacturing Industrial Center - Heavy (MIC -H) to Light Industrial (LI); setting conditions for the property owner regarding the rezone; and amending the City's Official Zoning Map. The Associated Grocers warehouse and distribution center occupies approximately 62 acres that lie partly in Tukwila and partly in Seattle. During the Spring of 2007, the Sabey Corporation contacted the City about the possibility of a Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone of the Tukwila portion of the Associated Grocers site, in order to redevelop it for office, retail, hotel and light industrial. Shelley Kerslake, City Attorney, indicated this is a quasi-judicial hearing before the Council this evening. The following 3 "appearance of fairness" questions were asked of each of the 7 Councilmembers: 1. Do you or any member of your family have any interest in the subject property? 2. Do you stand to gain or lose by your decision on this matter? 3. Have you had any ex -parte communications regarding this application?

Dave Sabey, 12201 Tukwila International Boulevard, applicant for this project, utilized a Powerpoint presentation to give historical information and highlights regarding the development. This is another opportunity to further improve this area of Tukwila by developing this unique property. Mr. Sabey conveyed this project will provide a more modern northern entrance to the City; allow a consistent development pattern similar to the Flight Museum, Homeland Security Facility, and The Boeing Company; maintain control of the property for Tukwila; and add millions of dollars in revenue to the Tukwila budget. 9:18:27 p.m. Mayor Mullet closed the public hearing. 4. An ordinance designating certain property as a special height exception area and amending the TMC's Figure 18.3 to reflect the addition of that property. Extending the City's height exception areas as outlined in TMC 18.50.030 can provide additional flexibility in site design and result in an improved development. •• Page 1 of 1 Bonsai NW L06-095 & 4 96 N CityGIS 6.0 350ft Copyright O 2006 All Rights Reserved.

Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director MEMORANDUM November 29, 2007 TO: Tukwila Community FROM: Tukwila Department of Community Development SUBJECT: ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS --2006-2007 This memo summarizes proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan and zoning map for 2006-2007. The City Council was briefed on November 26, 2007 to review the proposals and the Planning Commission's recommendations. A public hearing is scheduled for December 3, 2007 to receive input. After the public hearing, the City Council will make its final decision whether or not to adopt individual proposed amendments. Process to date: The City of Tukwila received three applications for annual Comprehensive Plan amendments for consideration in 2007. Two applications were received by the December 31, 2006 deadline. They were reviewed by the City Council at a public meeting in March, 2007, and passed along to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and made recommendations on March 22, 2007. A third application was received in August, 2007 with the request that it be considered as an "emergency" in 2007. The City Council forwarded this to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission hearing was held on October 25, 2007. After its public hearing, the Planning Commission made recommendations regarding the proposed amendments. Staff met individually with CAP members on November 7, 2007 and November 19, 2007 to provide a briefing in lieu of the November 13, 2007 CAP meeting that was canceled. At each stage in the process, staff has tried to encourage public involvement. All public meetings and hearings were advertised in the paper. Staff exceeded statutory notification requirements in providing mailings to owners and occupants within 500 feet of the proposed map changes. An additional informational meeting was held for the public on November 29, 2007. In addition, sites with potential changes which would impact adjacent properties were posted.

The City Council may: o Adopt a proposed amendment; o Adopt a modified version of a proposed amendment; or ® Reject the proposed amendment. Consideration of these proposed amendments is a legislative action. Contested decisions are appealed to Superior Court. The applications are as follows: 1) Modify Policy to Expand Area for Locating Transit Center-- Applicant: Tukwila Department of Community Development (File #L06-093) The proposal seeks to modify existing policy 13.4.8 to incorporate current information from the Tukwila Transit Plan and the Tukwila Transit Center Design Report. The current policy states that a future Transit Center should be sited on Andover Park East between Baker Boulevard and Strander Boulevard. The policy change was proposed in order to provide greater flexibility in selecting a location for the transit center. The change will enable the analysis contained in the Tukwila Transit Plan (4/05), and issues raised by property owners, Metro Transit and the City of Tukwila to be more fully addressed in a siting decision. Staff Recommendation: Policy 13.4.8. "Support forming a partnership with Metropolitan King County, in the area north of Minkler, in the Tukwila Urban Center, in order to locate a pedestrian - friendly transit center and related amenity." Planning Commission Recommendation: The Planning Commission expanded the area in which the future transit center could be located by recommending that the future transit center site be located in the Tukwila Urban Center, north of Minkler Boulevard, as follows: Policy 13.4.8. "Support forming a partnership with Metropolitan King County, Westfield Mall at Southcenter, and surrounding businesses to locate a pedestrian friendly transit center on Andover Park West, between Baker Boulevard and Strander Boulevard." 2) Redesignate property from Regional Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) at S. 144th and 51S1 Avenue S.)—Applicant: John Muth (Comprehensive Plan File #L06-095 and Rezone File #L06-096) – Rf 2 i 1/29/2007 Q:\COMP PLAN AMEND 2006-2007%CCMemo1 1.29.07#6.doc The applicant seeks to redesignate approximately .63 acres of a 1.35 acre site from commercial (RCC) to single-family residential (LDR). The property is vacant nursery property adjacent to and associated with the Bonsai Northwest nursery property. Recommendation: The staff and Planning Commission recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan map change and rezone from RCC to LDR on the condition that the applicant applies for a boundary line adjustment within 90 days after rezone becomes effective. 3) Redesignate property from Manufacturing/Industrial Center -Heavy (MIC/H) to Light Industrial (LI) south of Boeing Field —Applicant:Mikel Hansen/Sabey Corporation (Comprehensive Plan Amendment File #L07-066 and Rezone File #L07-067) The applicant requests to redesignate approximately 34.5 acres of land in the Tukwila Manufacturing/Industrial Center from MIC -H to LI. Located immediately south of Boeing Field, the Associated Grocers warehouse and distribution center currently occupies the site. The entire 64 acre Associated Grocers project area is split between Tukwila and Seattle. Once Associated Grocers' lease ends, the applicant intends to redevelop the site into a mixed use development, most likely including hotel/lodging, office, retail and entertainment uses. By changing the designation from Manufacturing/Industrial Center - Heavy (M/IC-H) to Light Industrial (LI), property would be removed from the Manufacturing Industrial Center, but could be developed in a wider range non- industrial/manufacturing uses. Recommendation: The recommendation was developed between the staff and applicant, and approved by the Planning Commission. The recommendation was to approve a Comprehensive Plan map change and rezone from Manufacturing/Industrial Center - Heavy (MIC -H) to Light Industrial (LI). The rezone shall have the following specific combination of rezone conditions and City Action: 1) Development exceeding 640, 000 s.f. for retail/restaurant/entertainment uses, and 700, 000 s.f. for office uses shall be reviewed administratively by the Community Development Director according to the procedure established for a Type 2 decision. 2) Design review shall apply according to the standards for the Commercial/Light Industrial zone (TMC 18.30.070). Design review procedure shall be followed according to the requirements of the Board of Architectural Review as described in TMC 18.60. Provided that the above conditions are approved, the Planning Commission recommends the following action in support of the rezone: Rf 3 11/29/2007 Q:\COMP PLAN AMEND 2006-2007\CCMemo11.29.07#6.doc • • 3) The City of Tukwila shall amend Figure 18-3, as referred to in TMC 18.50.030, to allow a maximum building height of 10 stories at the site, subject to development and height limitations required by TMC 18.50.045, King County International Airport, and the Federal Aviation Administration. Cumulative Effects of Recommended Amendments The likely impacts of recommended amendments are varied. There is no discernable pattern or nor clear cumulative effect. In general, the effects of the proposed changes are the following: 1. Expanding the area that can be considered for locating a future transit center will potentially allow greater flexibility in finding a site for the facility within the Tukwila Urban Center. (L06-093) 2. Changing the Comprehensive Plan map (L06-095) and Zoning map (L06-096) from Regional Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) is a "downzone," and will enable additional housing to be built. 3. Changing Manufacturing/Industrial Center—Heavy (MIC -H) to Light Industrial (LI) will permit a range of non -industrial uses to be developed at a large site that is split between Tukwila and Seattle, and currently houses a warehouse and distribution center. The Planning Commission has proposed amendments to address the impacts of the change in uses.

Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director INFORMATION MEMO To: Community Affairs and Parks Committee From: Steve Lancaster, Department of Community Development Date: April 12, 2007 Subject: 2007 Comprehensive Plan Amendments ISSUE Shall the City Council approve, modify or deny a Comprehensive Plan amendment, a Comprehensive Plan map change and a rezone request as recommended by the Tukwila Planning Commission? BACKGROUND This memo will provide background information on the Planning Commission's recommendations and the status of this year's review process. After holding a public meeting on March 5, 2007, the Tukwila City Council forwarded Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone requests to the Tukwila Planning Commission for consideration. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 22, 2007, and made recommendations to be forwarded back to the City Council. Draft Planning Commission minutes are included as Attachment A. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS/ALTERNATIVES The applications and Planning Commission recommendations are as follows: • Transit Center—Modify Wording. Applicant: Tukwila Department of Community Development (File #L06-093) — The proposal seeks to modify existing policy 13.4.8 to provide greater flexibility in finding a location for a future Transit Center. The current policy states that a future Transit Center should be sited on Andover Park East between Baker Boulevard and Strander Boulevard. In making its recommendation, the Planning Commission wanted to: 1) remove references to specific businesses, including Westfield Southcenter Mall; 2) to enlarge the possible geographic area for siting a Transit Center. The area under consideration as a site for the future Transit Center was expanded considerably to include the entire Tukwila Urban Center north of Minkler Boulevard, rather than focusing on two blocks along Andover Park West corridor in the general vicinity of the mall. (Attachment B) RF 1 Q:\COMP PLAN AMEND 2006-2007\CAPinfomemo4.24.07.doc 04/12/2007 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206-431-3670 • Fax: 206-431-3665 • • • Redesignate property from Regional Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) at S. 144th and 51St Avenue S.) Applicant: John Muth (File #L06- 095 and L06-096) —The Planning Commission recommended approving the applicant's request to redesignate approximately .63 acres of a 1.35 acre site from commercial (RCC) to single-family residential (LDR) with the condition that the applicant apply for a Boundary Line Adjustment separating the RCC from the new LDR within 90 days of Council's approving the request. The property is vacant nursery property adjacent to and associated with the Bonsai Northwest nursery property. After the hearing, staff learned that the Boundary Line Adjustment presented a problem for the applicant since the two properties had different mortgages. The applicant would prefer to apply directly for a Short Plat. Staff therefore would like uphold the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve changing a portion of the property from RCC to LDR, but to modify the condition by requiring a complete Short Plat application, within 90 days of Council approval, rather than a Boundary Line Adjustment application. If the applicant does not submit a Short Plat application within 90 days, the City would draw the boundary between RCC and LDR as per that shown in the application materials. Attachment C shows the subject area.. ACTION Staff requests that the CAP forward this issue to the COW for a briefing at its meeting on May 14, 2007, and to the Regular Meeting on May 21, 2007 for a public hearing. After the hearing on May 21, the City Council will decide whether to approve, modify or reject the requests. RF 2 04/12/2007 Q:\COMP PLAN AMEND 2006-2007\CAPinfomcmo4.24.07.doc • • PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING MINUTES MARCH 22, 2007 The Public Hearing was called to order by Chair Malina at 7:00 PM Present: Chair George Malina, Vice Chair Chuck Parrish, Commissioners Allan Ekberg, Bill Arthur, Henry Marvin, and Lynn Peterson Absent: Margaret Bratcher Representing City Staff: Jack Pace, Rebecca Fox and Wynetta Bivens COMMISSIONER EKBERG MADE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE PUBLIC HEARING MINUTES FROM FEBRUARY 22, 2007. COMMISSIONER ARTHUR SECONDED THE MOTION; THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. Chair Malina swore in those wishing to give public testimony. PLANNING COMMISSION CASE NUMBER: L06-093 APPLICANT: City of Tukwila REQUEST: Revise existing policy pertaining to the location of a future Transit Center to include Andover Park West and vicinity LOCATION: Andover Park West and vicinity Rebecca Fox, Senior Planner, Department of Community Development gave the presentation for staff. She explained the review process for considering changes to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code Map. The process is legislative and the proposed amendments are only reviewed and adopted once a year unless it is an emergency. The deadline for submitting applications is December 31st. On March 5, 2007 the City Council held a public meeting on applications submitted in 2006 and forwarded them to the Planning Commission for their recommendation. After the City Council receives the Planning Commission's recommendation, another public hearing will be held and a decision will be made. Ms. Fox also gave an overview of the criteria for making Comprehensive Plan amendments and Zoning Map changes. Summary was provided on the proposed change to the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Staff finds that all criteria were met and recommends approving the amendment as proposed. Bonnie Hanson, Regis Real Estate Services, Development Management, for Open Frame LLC, introduced Christopher Brown, Transportation Engineer. Mr. Brown stated he has taken a look at the Comprehensive Plan and done analyses to the area on the Andover Park West site. Christopher Brown explained what he looked at, why he looked at it, and what his conclusions were relating to the Comprehensive Plan. He stated that the policy plan has already been addressed in policy 13.48 and he does not see any need for change in the policy as it presently exists. He said from his review that he believes it will cause a severe conflict. He stated in his judgment that the Public Works Department has not done a serious study of potential conflict and adverse circumstances. Mr. Brown listed what he considers several conflicts, some of which were pedestrian safety, vehicular safety, sight distance issues at intersections, and transportation Attachment A Planning Commission Minutes ,March 22, 2007 Page 2 of 5 • • efficiency. In conclusion, Mr. Brown said he would like to recommend that the Comprehensive Plan remains as is and not be changed. Commissioner Arthur made a declaration that he has had a past customer, client, consultant relationship with Mr. Brown and Mr. Browns' firm. Commissioner Arthur stated he could be objective. Chair Malina asked for clarification from Jack Pace on the declaration. Mr. Pace stated the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is a legislative decision and that the Planning Commission is only making a recommendation to the City Council. Therefore, there is no conflict of interest. The Commission asked Mr. Brown several questions. Bill Williamson, Attorney, Open Frame LLC, pointed out information concerning a study in documentation that he distributed to the Commission prior to the public hearing. Mr. Williamson said he has not heard anything new from the City on why the policy needs to be changed. He said the City has not identified what land use impacts will happen as a result of the change in policy. He said that the correct means were already decided by the City when the Comprehensive Plan Policy was adopted. It was well thought out, and should not be changed. He stated, based on the Comprehensive Plan criteria that a recommendation of denial should be sent to the City Council. It was described as grossly unfair that one public hearing was being held on this matter. He stated that his clients requested a staff report binder that the Tukwila City Council had in their hands on 2/12/07, and they did not receive a copy until 1 %2 days prior to the public hearing. Mr. Williamson said if the Planning Commission is uncertain, he would ask for more hearings, have more postings, mailings, and get some more comments on the proposal before they make a decision. During his testimony Mr. Williamson made several negative comments about the City's ethics. Mr. Williamson made some comments pertaining to a memo listing the name of a particular City staff, which he said was addressed in the documentation provided to the Commission. Upon questioning from Commissioner Arthur, he agreed that some of the comments made and names mentioned in reality were not included in his documentation. Commissioner Ekberg stated that he wanted everyone to be aware that there are other options for consideration, including broadening the geographic range to include the entire north portion of the Tukwila Urban Center. He said that personally he has heard disconcerting comments about City staff, which he does not appreciate. He also said he does appreciate Mr. Williamson coming forth with information that has been collected in such a short period of time. It was suggested that a look be taken at broadening the cope of where the transit center should be located. He stated he would like to look at it more geographically, requesting staff's thoughts. Mr. Williamson stated that if he has disparaged staff, that it was not his intent. He responded to Commissioner Ekberg's comment regarding opening up to something larger then identifying a single boulevard. Mr. Williamson said his clients would welcome opening this up if the 2005 Transit Plan no longer works or is no longer relevant, and that it really was intended to support the Tukwila Urban Transit Center sub -area. In this case, Mr. Williamson's clients would encourage the City to undertake a complete study, including other parallel arterials. If it's going to be taken as part of a bigger puzzle, then we have to look at the bigger puzzle. He said he would agree that would be the appropriate way to do it. He pointed out that his clients are upset because they have relied upon the policy. Planning Commission Minutes March 22, 2007 Page 3 of 5 • • Commissioner Peterson asked Mr. Williamson if they feel like they have been targeted because the City is requesting a 32.5 ft. dedication of frontage along Andover Park West. Mr. Williamson responded that his clients do feel targeted. He also mentioned correspondence his client received from the City, as well as, verbal statements that tied the project to the 32.5 ft dedication request. Jack Pace clarified that staff's final comment letter made no mention of a requirement for 32.5 ft. Mr. Pace said the City's official record has not requested 32.5 ft. to move the project along. He informed Mr. Williamson he could provide him with a copy of the letter. Mr. Pace asked Mr. Williamson if he would agree that the letter from the City did not request 32 ft. dedication. Mr. Williamson replied that he would agree. Chair Malina stated that the conversation needed to be cut off at this point. Don Malstream, General Manager, Accura, stated he sees it as a benefit to everyone for the City to expand their horizons as to where they are going to place the bus stop. He said he wanted to be on the record and the City understand that is exactly how they feel and they appreciate it ir, fact. REBUTTAL: None Rebecca Fox said she appreciated the comments. She stated that staff did not have the opportunity to see the documentation presented by Mr. Williamson. She stressed that the proposal is to change a policy to give added flexibility rather than selecting a location for the Transit Center. She said information related to selecting a location would probably be helpful when there is full discussion on the site for the Transit Center. Ms. Fox provided some clarification. She said that the public notice that went out exceeded the requirements of the State. The information on the hearing was published in the Seattle Times on March 8th, 2007, and a mailing went out to individuals whom had attended workshops on the Transit Center Design. Regarding the request for the staff report binder, it was made to Jane Cantu, City Clerk, for public records. On March 1, 2007 Rebecca received the request for the materials that were provided to City Council and any communications. She responded by preparing the materials. She stated that she does not know what the process was but regrets that material was not received earlier. In conclusion, Ms. Fox stated that it is common practice that professional City staff prepares the application and the staff report, using professional judgment on the appropriate course of action. It is then presented to the City Council and the Planning Commission considers staff input in developing a recommendation. Ms. Fox also stated in response to questioning from Commissioner Peterson that she is not wearing two hats. She explained that she makes a proposal to amend the policy of the Comprehensive Plan based on her professional judgment. Jack Pace provided some information on what's next in the process if the City Council makes the proposed change based on the Planning Commission's recommendation. There will be an opportunity for Open Frame to present their findings again. Commissioner Ekberg asked for clarification regarding the northern site of the Tukwila Parkway. Planning Commission Minutes ,March 22, 2007 Page 4 of 5 • • There were no further comments. The Public Hearing was closed. The Planning Commission deliberated. Commissioner Arthur stated that he does not appreciate having material dumped on the Commission at the eleventh hour. He also said that his preference would be to not act upon the material presented, giving the following reasons: (1) Staff had not seen the material, (2) the Commissioners had not seen it prior to the meeting, and (3) the person presenting the material seemed to be confused about the content. Commission Arthur called it poor practice and, under the circumstances of their, nor others, not having time to do homework, commented on whether that was fair. Commission Arthur said he approves of adopting staff's recommendation unless someone convinces him otherwise. He said his most compelling argument, other than what staff presented was clear, logical, testimony and records from Acura. COMMISSIONER EKBERG MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF'S FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON CASE NUMBER L06-093 AS AMENDED WITH THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE: "SUPPORT FORMING A PARTNERSHIP WITH METROPOLITAN KING COUNTY, IN THE AREA NORTH OF MINKLER, IN THE TUKWILA URBAN CENTER, IN ORDER TO LOCATE A PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY TRANSIT CENTER AND RELATED AMENITY" AND RECOMMEND FORWARDING IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL. COMMISSIONER PARRISH SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE CARRIED FIVE IN FAVOR AND ONE OPPOSED. CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: REQUEST: LOCATION: L06-095 and L06-096 John C. Muth Change Comprehensive Plan Map designation from Residential Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) 14427 51st Avenue South, Tukwila, WA Rebecca Fox gave the presentation for staff. She provided an overview explaining how the Comprehensive Plan criteria are met. The proposal is consistent with the community goal to provide housing and improve neighborhoods, which is a key goal for Tukwila. The impacts are potentially fewer than what would be allowed currently. The community would benefit from the proposed changed. Ms. Fox explained that the request only covers a portion of the property and it splits the properties into two separate Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designations. One property with two potential designations is not a desirable thing on the same property. Staff recommends approval with the following condition: 1. "The applicant shall complete a Boundary Line Adjustment separating the RCC portion of the property from the LDR portion within three months of City Council approval of the request." Commissioner Ekberg asked for clarification regarding the proposed street location listed on page two of staff's findings in the staff report. Ms. Fox stated the street location should be 145t1i. Planning Commission Minutes .March 22, 2007 Page 5 of 5 • • Commissioner Arthur inquired how staff decided that the Boundary Line Adjustment should be completed within three months. He asked if staff would be satisfied to make the same recommendation allowing 120 days to complete the Boundary Line Adjustment. Ms. Fox agreed that staff would be satisfied with 120 days. Commissioner Ekberg suggested that the condition could be revised to read: "The applicant shall provide a completed Boundary Line Adjustment application separating the RCC portion of the property from the LDR portion within 120 days of City Council approval of the request." John Muth, Applicant, stated he is just trying to make use of his property. He stated that if the proposal is approved he will definitely complete the Boundary Line Adjustment as soon as possible. NO REBUTTAL: There were no further comments. The Public Hearing was closed. The Planning Commission deliberated. COMMISSIONER EKBERG MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF'S FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON CASE NUMBER L06-095 AND L06- 096 WITH ONE CONDITION AS MODIFIED. COMMISSIONER MARVIN SECONDED THE MOTION. ALL WERE IN FAVOR. Chair Malina informed the Commission that Community Development Director Steve Lancaster is leaving the City of Tukwila. DIRECTOR REPORT: • Jack Pace informed the Commission that Mr. Lancaster's last day with the City would be approximately April 18th and that the Commission would be receiving an invitation to a reception. • Jack made some clarifying comments pertaining to Mr. Williamson's misconception of the City's process.

Schedule for Public Review of Comprehensive Plan /Zoning Map Amendment application: The following preliminary schedule has been determined for public review of your application for Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map amendment at 5021 S. 144th Street, Tukwila. March 5, 2007 March 22, 2007 April 16, 2007 City Council Public Meeting Planning Commission Hearing (tentative). City Council Public Hearing (tentative) During each of these sessions, Tukwila staff will present a staff report, and public comments are taken on the project. If you wish, you are invited to come and speak for your proposal during the public comment period. Per our letter January 18, 2007 letter, you are required to provide public notice labels and install a public notice sign not later than February 7, 2007 Short Plat: Consideration of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map amendments is separate from application for and consideration of a short plat. Please note that staff review of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning map amendment materials indicates that the site has several issues that must be addressed fully if you decide to apply for a short plat. These include: 1) steep slopes; and 2) access. Geotechnical studies will be required since environmentally sensitive steep slopes cover much of the property. At present, the proposed concept for access could not be approved since it appears that some of the lots will need to Rf 1 01/25/2007 Q:\COMP PLAN AMEND 2006-2007\Muthletreschedule.doc 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206-431-3670 • Fax: 206-431-3665 • • cross private property in order to reach S. 145th Street. Topographic and access issues may affect the layout and number of lots that are possible for any potential short plat. If you want to have the initial short plat review take place in approximately the same timeframe as the Comprehensive Plan amendment review, you may wish to consider preparing materials, scheduling a pre -application meeting and/or submitting an application for short plat at this point. I have included forms for the Residential Short Plat and Pre - Application meeting. Please contact me at 206-431-3683 or via email at rfox@ci.tukwila.wa.us if you have questions.

You can create up to nine lots with a short plat; ten or more lots require a subdivision application and a hearing in front of the City Council. If the land you want to divide has been divided by a short plat within the past five years you must use the subdivision process. The number of lots that you can create depends on a number of factors, including: How Large is the lot you want to divide? • The minimum lot size in Tukwila's single family zone, Low Density Residential, is 6,500 square feet. • Public streets and private access roads that serve more than one lot do not count toward this minimum area. • New lots are required to have at least a 50 -foot average lot width. How will access to the new lots be provided? • Will the new lots have direct vehicular access to a public street or would a new street be required? • Private access roads must be at least 20 feet wide and can't be longer than 200 feet or serve more than 4 houses. • Public streets must have a minimum of 40 feet of right-of-way and you may be required to build curbs, gutters, sidewalks, streetlights, fire hydrants and associated storm drainage. • Dead end streets are generally not allowed unless there is no reasonable alternative and they cannot be longer than 600 feet. A fire truck turnaround is required for all dead end streets longer than 150 feet. Does the site contain sensitive areas? • Steep slopes (15% or over), wetlands, or watercourses may reduce the buildable area of the lot. • Sensitive area studies may be required to determine the setbacks that will be required from these areas and any special precautions that must be taken when building around them. • You may be able to apply for an Administrative Planned Residential Development to receive a reduction in minimum lot size and setback requirements in exchange for setting aside sensitive areas.

City review is required to ensure that development and infrastructure requirements are satisified, the action is consistent with the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan, and the plat is properly recorded. REQUIREMENTS: Short plats are administratively approved and do not require a public hearing. However, short plats of 5-9 lots are required to provide public notice, environmental review and to meet the development standards specified for subdivisions (creating over nine lots). PROCEDURE: At the time you submit your application you must have all of the items listed on the attached "Complete Application Checklist." You may request a waiver from items on the checklist that are not applicable to your project. Please discuss this waiver request with City staff either at a pre -application meeting or at the time of application submittal. Within 28 days of receiving your application, City staff will determine if it is complete based on the attached checklist. If not complete City staff will mail you a letter outlining what additional information is needed. If you do not submit requested materials within 90 days from the City's request for additional information the City may cancel your application. The short plat process consists four steps: 1. Preliminary approval: Approval of lot patterns, access and infrastructure schematic design. 2. Infrastructure permit approvals: Approval of detailed construction drawings (when applicable). 3. Construction of required infrastructure such as access roads and utilities. 4. Final approval and recording: Final City approval of all construction, City Council acceptance of any infrastructure or property to be turned over to the City and recording with King County. Final documents must meet the King County Recorder's Format requirements. PRELIMINARY APPROVAL: Once the application is complete it will be reviewed by the Short Subdivision Committee, made up of representatives of the Fire, Public Works and Community Development Departments. The Committee will issue a decision to approve, modify or deny the application based on the review criteria. (TMC 17.12.020.C) CRITERIA FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF SHORT PLATS: The Short Subdivision Committee shall base its decision on an application on the following criteria: 1. The proposed Short plat is in conformance with the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan and any other such adopted plans. 2. Appropriate provisions have been made for water, storm drainage, erosion control and sanitary sewage disposal for the short plat, which are consistent with current standards and plans. 3 Appropriate provisions have been made for road, utilities and other improvements, which are consistent with current standards and plans. 4. Appropriate provisions have been made for dedications, easements and reservations. 5. The design, shape and orientation of the proposed lots are appropriate to the proposed use for which the lots are intended and are compatible with the area in which they are located. P:\Planning FomukApplicatione\ShortPlat-6-06.doc. December 4, 2006 • Community Affairs and Parks Committee January 23, 2007 - 5:00 p.m. Present: Dennis Robertson, Chair; Pam Carter, council member. Steve Lancaster, Director of Department of Community Development; Mon Wig, and Leshya Wig, Wig Properties; Diane Jenkins, Administrative Assistant to the Council; and Chuck Parrish, community member. Business Agenda: A. Southcenter Square street names Mr. Lancaster indicated that two public streets are being built as a result of the Southcenter Square development. In naming streets, the city has had a history of recognizing former city leaders. Two suggestions are former mayor and council member Ed Bauch and former staff member and council member Mae Harris. Mr. Wig requested that one of the two streets be named "Wig Blvd": after his company. He highlighted his development activities and noted that his family develops and retains property. He further explained his plans to do other development activities in Tukwila. Mr. Wig conveyed that the street located on the north end could be named "Wig Blvd." and suggested that a donation could be made to the city. Mr. Lancaster noted that there is time to process the naming of these streets. Mr. Robertson suggested that committee wait to forward this information onto council and revisit this issue when Ms. Linder is present at the next CAP meeting on February 13. Mr. Robertson noted that a donation could be made to a local charity; the naming of a street would not be contingent on a charitable donation. Ms. Carter further suggested that a "name bank" be developed which could be accessed when future streets need to be named. A developer could also indicate a preference. Mr. Robertson and Ms. Carter both supported naming one of the two streets "Wig;" discussion will continue whether it will be street, boulevard, or drive. Issue to be brought back to February 13 Community Affairs and Park Committee for additional discussion. B. 2007 Comp Plan Amendments Mr. Lancaster reviewed the two amendments being submitted to the 2007 Comp Plan. The first amendment would provide greater flexibility in the siting of a future Transit Center. The second amendment seeks to redesignate .63 acres of a 1.35 acre site from commercial (RC) to single-family residential (LDR). This was only a briefing to the committee; he reviewed the next steps of the process. At the February 12 Committee of the Whole, the council would be briefed and a public meeting held at the March 5 regular council meeting. Following the March 5 public hearing, the council would decide whether to forward these amendments to the Planning Commission. Ms. Carter suggested that pictures of other transit centers be taken; transit centers could range from a bus stop to a large, facility such as those located at Burien or Northgate. Forward to February 12 Committee of the Whole. Adjournment: 5:45 p.m. Committee Chair Approval Minutes by DJ. Reviewed by RB. • Cizy of Tukwila Steven M.

The notice board must remain on the site from the date of the Notice of Application until the expiration of the appeal period. City Coordination of Sign Process Applicants may opt to handle the creation, installation, posting and removal of public notice board signs themselves or have the City coordinate the process. When the City coordinates the notice sign process the applicant's responsibilities are to: • Once the application has been submitted to the City and a file number has been issued for the project contact FastSigns at (206)575-2110, located in the Springbrook Business Park at 7825 S. 180.`x. Street in Kent. • Provide the project site address and file number to FastSigns. • Pay a fee of $365 per notice sign required by the City directly to FastSigns. Generally only one sign is required, but large sites with multiple street frontages may require additional signs at an additional fee. • Pay FastSigns to repair, replace or reinstall any sign damaged due to weather conditions, vandalism etc. • The use of this option does not waive applicant's responsibility regarding public notice signs under City code. Once the application is declared complete the City will work directly with FastSigns to schedule the installation, posting and removal of the sign. If you have questions about the notification process please direct them to the project planner rather than FastSigns. Applicant Coordination of Sign Process Alternately, if the applicant wants to manage the process signs meeting the following criteria may be obtained from any professional sign company. Hand lettered signs are not acceptable. The applicant will be responsible for reinstalling the sign if it is made illegible, removed or otherwise destroyed prior to the date of the final Public Hearing or final action by the City of Tukwila. Failure to maintain the Notice Board in good condition is cause for the discontinuance of the review of the application until the Notice Board is replaced and remains in place for a specified time period. The applicant is also responsible for removing the sign at the end of the posting period. P:\Planning Forms \ Applications \SignSpecHandout-l0-06.doc October 20, 2006 COMPLETE APPLICATION CHECKLIST.

The current policy states that a future Transit Center should be sited on Andover Park East between Baker Boulevard and Strander Boulevard; the proposed wording allows somewhat greater flexibility in selecting a location for the future Transit Center. This amendment was requested by the City Attorney and developed in conjunction with the City Attorney and the Public Works Department. • Redesignate property from Regional Commercial Center (RCC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) at S. 144`x' and 5.1s' Avenue S.)
