Comprehensive Land Use Plan could be adopted by the City that conforms to
current values and goals; and

adoption of the New Comprehensive Land Use Plan; and

were adopted prior to the new City of Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Plan and
will need to be revised to accomplish the goals and objectives of the Plan; and

no longer reflects the Comprehensive Plan of the community, its legislative
bodyacu recognized state of the art of planning.

the following actions shall require a waiver and approval thereof by the City
Council prior to processing of the applicable land use permit by the City:
1. Land Use actions, which are inconsistent with the
new Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map.
2. Proposals for building, grading, clearing, excavation
or filling which are located in a geographical area
generally identified by the Environmental Basemap of
the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan as an area of
constraint.
Building permits for single- family homes are exempt from the provi-
sions of this ordinance.
Section 4. Complete Application. The City shall not process any
waiver until such time as a complete application for the applicable permit
has been received, including compliance with the State Environmental Policy
Act, as set forth in RCW 43.21C.
Section 5. Waiver Request. A waiver shall not be granted unless
a majority of the City Council finds that the proposed action is consistent
with the following criteria:
1. That the proposed action does represent a unique
condition which is insignificant in scale.
2. That no other reasonable alternatives are available
which would not require a waiver.

the request for waiver involves building, grading,
clearing, excavation or filling in a geographical
area generally identified by the Environmental Base

constraint.
4. That the request for waiver is consistent with the
goals and policies of the Comprehensive Land Use
Policy Plan.

special hardship to a site for which a waiver of the
provisions would not necessitate a major policy

adopted shall remain in effect until the second regular council meeting of
January 1979.
