This memo provides a briefing on how staff proposes moving forward with revising the draft plan, based on the Council's direction. BACKGROUND In 2002, Tukwila received a $1.4 million federal grant to prepare a subarea plan for Southcenter one of the region's designated urban centers, including the area designated for transit oriented development (TOD) around the Sounder commuter rail /Amtrak station. We spent several years conducting public visioning and working with a consultant to develop a draft plan. From March to May 2009 the Planning Commission held a public hearing and 3 work sessions on the draft subarea Plan. During this process, almost all stakeholders commenting on the draft plan agreed the City's vision is the right long -term goal for development in the TUC. The conflict, however, was in how and when the vision should be implemented. Some members of the PC thought that additional public outreach was needed outside of the formal hearing process to resolve the conflicts. Staff proposed establishing a second stakeholders' process to address key issue areas that were raised during the comment period. DISCUSSION WHERE WE ARE Now In March 2011, staff presented three stakeholder process alternatives to the City Council: a consultant /staff team to work out individual concerns of the stakeholders (recommended by the Community Affairs and Parks Committee), an advisory group similar to the Sign Code Advisory Committee, and a standard legislative process with public hearings and open houses. WA2011 Info Memos\ SouthcenterPlan Revision Process .doc INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 The Council chose the third option, along with reducing the scope of the project, and directed staff to revise the draft Plan to meet the minimum requirements for accommodating growth and fulfilling regional policy goals. The Council also wanted a streamlined review process since the changes from the existing code would be limited. Consequently, no formal stakeholder group process is planned. Instead, public involvement will be accommodated by informal meetings between staff and key individual stakeholders as needed, public open houses and future Planning Commission and City Council public hearings on the draft Plan. Since that time, an internal advisory committee comprised of DCD, Public Works and Fire staff has been reviewing and recommending changes to the vision and regulations contained in Books I and II of the draft Plan based on the public comments. Staff will begin briefing the Planning Commission on the history of the planning process and introduce the draft Plan's concepts in preparation for the Commission's upcoming worksessions and public hearings on a revised draft Plan. NEXT STEPS Over the next few months, staff will hold a series of worksessions with the Planning Commission on the revised draft Southcenter Plan (Books 1 -III). Staff anticipates the following schedule: Introduction to the Southcenter Planning Process Review of Book I Community Intent. Book I provides the basic concepts and building blocks for Book 11, which will contain the new zoning code that implements the community vision. Review Book II Development Code This replaces the current zoning and design review regulations for the plan area. Review Book III Public Private Implementation Actions Open House on revised draft Southcenter Plan Planning Commission Public Hearing on revised draft Southcenter Plan Staff incorporates changes to the draft Plan in response to comments, as necessary and PC sends a recommended draft to Council City Council Public Hearing on Planning Commission's revised draft Southcenter Plan RECOMMENDATION This is an information only item. We will return to the City Council with a Planning Commission draft of the Plan. 2 City of Tukwila Rick Still, Parks and Recreation Director INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Affairs and Parks Committee FROM: Rick Still, Parks and Recreation Director DATE: September 21, 2011 SUBJECT: Duwamish Hill Preserve ISSUE Update on Duwamish Hill Preserve Open Space Acquisition. BACKGROUND The Duwamish Hill Preserve (DHP) is the highest priority capital project listed in the Parks, Recreation and Open Space plan. In May, I presented an overview of accomplishments along with future acquisition and development plans. This memo is intended to update the City Council of acquisition plans for the site. Presently, DHP is an 8.6 acre property that features one of Tukwila's most culturally and geographically significant open space resources in the region. Phase I development was completed through a joint effort between the City and the Cascade Land Conservancy. Phase 11 included further development within the 8.6 acres the City currently owns. The owner of the property adjacent to the DHP has recently placed his property on the market for sale. The property would expand opportunities for Phase II development and would enable the City to develop the property according to the DHP Master Plan rather than just developing the property currently owned by the City. The Friends of the Hill and many residents have requested that the City delay further development and focus on acquiring the adjacent property for the future development of Phase 11. DISCUSSION The City applied for a King County Conservation Futures grant in the amount of $500,000 this past spring for the acquisition of the 1.9 -acre parcel to the west of the DHP. The City was recommended the award of $250,000 (half of the request) which will be awarded in 2012. The grant request requires a match of $250,000; this match was allocated in the 2011 CIP and will need to be rolled over to 2012. An additional $500,000 is needed to purchase the 1.9 acre parcel along with an additional (estimated) $50,000 for required appraisals, legal, and other fees. At this time, a $75,000 grant application has been submitted to 4Culture for a Heritage Cultural Facilities grant. Additionally, staff is planning to submit an application to the King Conservation District for approximately $80,000 in February 2012. A match is not required for either of these grants, although it is encouraged. If each grant is awarded a total of $395,000 would still be needed to complete the purchase of the 1.9 acre parcel. Note that all three grants can be dismissed by City Council and application for the grant does not require acceptance by the City. 9 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 RECOMMENDATION Information Only. Amendment of the CIP will come before the Council as part of the standard annual process.

By Ordinance 14717, the CFT Citizens Committee is directed to conduct an annual review of applications for CFT funds, and to make recommendations to the King County Council and Executive on the expenditure of the funds. King County then approves the project funding as part of King County's annual budget. CFT projects must have a dollar -for- dollar matching funds to help leverage the benefits of the program. There is an estimated $7,765,000 in fiscal year 2012 CFT collections available for distribution. Applications were submitted in mid- March 2011 and reviewed by the CFT Citizen's Committee and recommendations were made. Below is information regarding Tukwila's request and the recommendation set for by the CFT Committee: Tukwila Duwamish Hill Preserve Addition Requested: 500,00o Recommended 250,000 Recommendation: This 2- parcel, 1.9 -acre open space acquisition project is located on South 115 Street, near East Marginal Way in Tukwila. The purpose of the acquisition is to establish a buffer between the 8 -acre Duwamish Hill Preserve and adjacent industrial and commercial uses. The Preserve is on a small hill overlooking the Green River, just south of the Seattle border, near Boeing Field and Interstate 5. The Preserve has important regional cultural significance. It was a sacred site for the Duwamish Tribe, and it s about a half mile upriver from the culturally important North Wind Weir site. The Duwamish Hill Preserve offers scenic views along the Green River and also southward towards Tukwila. The proposed acquisition is identified in the city's adopted Parks Master Plan. The main parcel in this application is a flat piece of open land adjacent to the preserve that is currently being used to store cranes and other industrial equipment. A schematic plan for the future Preserve shows how this property could be re- planted with trees to visually buffer the preserve from the industrial area to the west. This buffer would add to the quality of the experience of the open space. In the past five years, Tukwila has done an admirable job overseeing restoration of the site, with the help of many dedicated volunteers. A second, smaller parcel between 115 South and the Green River is also included in the application. It is a narrow strip of land between the road and the river, with about 80o feet of riverbank. It might be possible to restore and improve riparian habitat on the river, including moving the road further way from the river some time off into the future. Tukwila has 5512,000 in local matching funds for this phase. It is also seeking grants from the State of Washington and King Conservation District. There is more appraisal work to do to determine the property value. Tukwila has not applied for or received significant CFT funds in recent years. The recommended contribution to this project by CFT is a reasonable level, given the level of information currently available about the property value. Kina Conservation District The King Conservation District, through a local assessment, awards grants for projects that improve the conditions of natural resources, provide education and outreach to increase awareness, build capacity to enhance implementation of natural resource improvement projects and implement pilot demonstration projects. A match is not necessary but it is encouraged. Currently, there is approximately s61,5oo available for City of Tukwila projects and an estimated s8o,000 will be available in February 2012. &Culture Heritaae Cultural Facilities Heritage Cultural Facilities funds the purchase, design, construction, and remodeling of heritage facilities, and equipment acquisition. Every award from this annual program helps the heritage community enhance the quality of life in King County, and create an authentic sense of place for residents and visitors in this rapidly changing region. An application requesting $75,00o in funding was submitted to 4Culture in September 2011.
