TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING October 15, 1984 Page 2 BID AWARDS Holiday Street Banners OLD BUSINESS Urban Design Study Phase I Reconsider Resolution #736, Pond Site The low bid received on the Holiday Street Banners was sub- mitted to Council for their information. The low bid was from High Flying Flags and Banners in the amount of $7,553. The Community Affairs Committee has reviewed the completed final report on the Urban Design Study Phase I and recommends its acceptance as submitted by the consultant at a cost of 4,394. MOVED BY MORGAN, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT THE COUNCIL ACCEPT THE URBAN DESIGN STUDY, PHASE I (Development impact eva- luation, Metro Regional Transit Terminal, June, 1984). MOTION CARRIED. Council Member Morgan reported that the Community Affairs Committee met and discussed alternatives for disposition of Resolution No. 736 and consequences thereof. Staff has pre- pared a section -by- section analysis of Resolution No. 736 relative to applicable existing City ordinances and policies. Brad Collins, Planning Director, noted that specific stan- dards are not referenced in the City policies. Council Member Morgan asked how standards are retained in an alternative process. Mr. Collins said that was the purpose of Resolution No. 736. Attorney Haney referred to Alternative #4 "Repeal Resolution 736 and rezone the property from CP to CP -PMUD, thereby requiring any development proceed through the Planned Mixed Use Development process," and said it would give the Council flexibility to evaluate each proposal as they come. Mr. Collins said under a contract rezone specific standards, such as 9.5 acres of wetland environment, could be set. Council Member Harris asked if there was any way of safe- guarding the pond. Mr. Collins said there are two areas in safeguarding the pond. SEPA does require environmental review of the existing conditions and identifying what impacts would occur to those conditions should development occur and what mitigating measures would be required to reduce the harmful effects of those impacts. Second, someone that is dissatisfied with the responsible official's decision can appeal to the City Council and modify the decision. Attorney Haney said that if Council adopts the staff and com- mittee recommendation, which is the PMUD process, it will require you to review and assure that adverse environmental impacts have been mitigated. The SEPA process and the PMUD process together would give Council the ability to work out what portion of the wetlands would be preserved. Council Member Morgan asked who says what restrictions SEPA will place on a project. Mr. Collins said the City Council will decide after receiving a plan. Mr. Collins explained in a contract rezone you go beyond setting a minimum standard. MOVED BY BAUCH, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, THAT (1) THE CITY COUNCIL REJECT THE REQUEST FROM THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO REPEAL RESOLUTION 736; (2) THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD PROCEED WITHOUT UNDUE DELAY TO CONSIDER THE REZONE OF THE PROPERTY IF A REZONE REQUEST IS RECEIVED, TO PMUD -CP; (3) THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD CONSIDER THE REPEAL OF RESOLUTION 736 AS PART OF THE REZONE ORDINANCE. 1iF7 TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING October 15, 1984 Page 3 OLD BUSINESS Cont. Reconsider Resolution No. 736, Pond Site (cont.) RECESS: 8:55 -9:07 P.M. Councilman Bauch explained that the reasons he made this motion was to give the City Council the chance to say yes or no on the proposed development. Resolution 736 does not allow the developer to use his imagination in planning for the project. They would probably use the guidelines of 736 knowing they have to appear before Council for approval. Mr. Peter Buck, Attorney for the property owner, said that in their opinion, there is no Resolution #736. Your Resolution 736 developed from Resolution 656 was dependent on 1035. If this is not valid, you, as a Council, need to know it and remove it. It is doing a massive amount of damage to my client. He wants to go forward, maybe a contract or con- ditional rezone is the way. Mr. Buck reviewed the conditions of the motion. They would apply for a rezone to PMUD and go before the Planning Commission. They would have to be willing to talk about some zoning code text changes. The PMUD was not intended as a map designation. Then, we would come to Council for a final decision. Councilman Bauch said the rezone would be very straight for- ward. We don't look at any issues, just at the piece of pro- perty. We are just changing the map. Mr. Buck suggested that his client would like to get into pre- application meetings on what is important to Council or Planning Commission within the legal bounds. They don't quite know how to do it legally. They need another week or two to try to figure out how to accomplish this. MOVED BY MORGAN, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT THE MOTION BE AMENDED BY DELETING ITEM #1. Councilman Duffie suggested that Council listen to the pro- perty owner and extend his request for another week. Don Morrison, City Administrator, commented that two of the most common ways to regulate land are those under con- sideration. (1) Enter into a restrictive covenant; (2) Rezoning. In this case the contract zoning or the restric- tive covenant would probably be the cleanest. It would not require amending the Zoning Ordinance but would accomplish the same thing. It would be based on the desire of the pro- perty owner. If the property owner cannot make a decision in a timely manner, the City could initiate a rezone. Mr. Buck asked if anyone could tell them that you can rezone a piece of property PMUD. Under the Tukwila Code, he doesn't believe they could apply for it. Councilman Bauch said that they were told by staff that we could and we are going on that assumption. The intent is to do that. *MOTION FAILED WITH HARRIS, DUFFIE, BAUCH, AND SIMPSON VOTING NO. *MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED.
