Tukwila's Potential Annexation Area North Highline.
Should the City submit a Notice of Intention to Annex with the Boundary Review Board for
Tukwila's Potential Annexation Area (PAA) North Highline?
BACKGROUND
On May 17, 2012, a request for annexation was received from the property owners representing
at least 10% of the assessed value of the proposed annexation area. On May 21, 2012, the City
Council accepted the 10% petition and authorized the circulation of the sixty percent petition.
On June 5, 2012, the property owners representing at least 60% of the assessed value of the
proposed annexation area of Tukwila's PAA submitted their petition to commence annexation
proceedings (Attachment C). King County Assessor validated the petition on June 7, 2012
(Attachment D), and on June 11, 2012, Council set the public hearing date for June 25, 2012.
DISCUSSION
A. Potential Annexation Area Characteristics:
Tukwila designated the North Highline area as a potential annexation area in the City's
Comprehensive Plan in 1995. Attachment A is the map showing the proposed
annexation boundaries.
The total area of the PAA is approximately 166 acres, including rights of way. The
boundaries include the parcel number 5624200132, which was in Burien's PAA. Due to
split ownership issues Burien did not include it in its annexation boundary and has
written a letter to Tukwila not objecting annexation of this parcel to Tukwila. Also, the
legal description of the annexation area states southern boundary of S. Director Street.
The boundary of City of Seattle is a straight line along S. Director Street and does not
include a small jog along the south side the street. In order to comply with RCW
35.02.170, the proposed annexation boundaries follow the south margin of the street.
There are a total of 25 parcels 97,616,700 in total assessed value. The list of parcels
is included in the Attachment E.
The list of businesses in the area includes Delta Marine; Duwamish Yacht Club;
Seattle City Light (28.5 acres), consisting of a substation and vacant lot; limousine
business; gas station; auto repair; various multitenant buildings primarily light
industrial, with some office and retail.
Latest census info shows 41 residents, including 22 Households in 47 units, most likely
living on boats at the Duwamish Yacht Club. As of 3/10/2010, there were 18 registered

Page 2
voters within the PAA, 17 of which voted in the 2009 General Election (Source: KCO
Elections Dept). Duwamish Yacht Club has confirmed that there are 18 live aboards on
the property at this time.
Area is currently zoned Industrial by King County. Tukwila Comprehensive Plan
designates this area as Manufacturing Industrial Center /Heavy (MIC /H) and two
parcels that are adjacent to some residential uses are designated as Manufacturing
Industrial Center /Light (MIC /L). See Attachment J.
Surrounding Area: Property across the Duwamish River in Tukwila is zoned MIC /H. To
the north, Seattle zoning is Single Family 5000 with General Industrial along the
Duwamish, and to the east the area is zoned General Industrial.
B. Annexation Process:
Pursuant to RCW 35A.14.130, when a 60% petition is filed with the City, the legislative body
may entertain the same, fix a date for a public hearing and cause notice of the hearing to be
published in one or more issues of a newspaper of general circulation in the city. The notice
shall also be posted in three public places within the territory proposed for annexation and
shall specify the time and place of hearing and invite interested parties to appear and voice
approval or disapproval of the annexation.
The notice of public hearing was published in the Seattle Times; three notice boards were
posted in the annexation area; and mailed to all the property owners and agencies with
interest. Additionally, staff hosted an open house on June 20, 2012, to answer any questions
related to the annexation. The notice for the open house was also mailed to property owners
and businesses in the area. It was also posted on the City's website.
After the public hearing the Council will make a decision whether to annex this area and what
zoning to adopt for the area. If Council decides to annex then there are additional steps
required before the annexation is complete including filing a Notice of Intent to annex with the
Boundary Review Board (BRB). If BRB approves Tukwila's request, the City Council will then
adopt an ordinance with an effective date for the annexation and adopt the zoning for the
area. See attached handout on the process involved with the petition method of annexation.
(Attachment F).
C. Revenue and Expenditure Analysis
See attached spreadsheet (Attachment G) for anticipated revenue projections for this area,
with a total of approximately $487,000 projected per year for general fund and $81,000 per
year for storm water enterprise fund. These projections are approximate and do not include
utility tax, as data showing actual usage was not available at this time. Also, the exact number
of employees in the area could not be ascertained at this time.
Summary of the expected revenue
6% Utility Tax on telephone, gas, electricity, cable solid waste providers. Need
usage information to determine revenue.
$90,920 per year in Storm Drainage fees storm water utility tax
Sales Tax City will receive 0.84 of revenue generated by sales tax within the area.
For example, based on taxable sales in 2010, the City would have received $163,286.
$67 per employee in Business License fees and RGRL
Approximately $287,969 in property taxes ($2.95/$1000 AV).
Summary of expected expenses:
0
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 3
There will be some ongoing road maintenance costs and costs for storm drainage catch
basin clean up. No additional staff or equipment costs are anticipated for these
maintenance actions.
There may be some one -time expenses related to studying the extent of contamination
issues.
City Departments have determined that Tukwila will be able to adequately service this
area with the existing staffing levels in all departments.
D. City Services:
Listed below is a brief discussion of different city departments and the anticipated service to
the area:
Public Works Department: Traffic, Street Maintenance, and Storm Water Management;
The county maintained roads include S. 93 Id St, S. 96 St, 14 Ave S, portion of Des Moines
Memorial Drive, and West Marginal PI S. King County Assessor's map indicates 15 Ave S is
also a public street. The County maintained streets are shown on County Roads Map below:

The additional 16,490 lane feet of public streets and 6,600 lineal feet of storm pipes will be
cleaned and maintained within the constraints of our existing budget and additional storm
water fees collected from the area. Incrementally the additional maintenance workload is
manageable. An unknown risk is whether or not there is any contaminated waste in these
King County public right -of -ways or public storm drains and /or ditches. See discussion below
under item F- Potential Risks and Liability. The water system in this area is owned, operated
and maintained by Water District 20 and Seattle Public Utilities, therefore there is no impact to
the City of Tukwila. The sanitary sewer system is owned by Valley View Sewer District, and
there is no impact to the City of Tukwila.

Fire Department:
Fire Department has determined that Tukwila is able to adequately serve the area and will
either meet or exceed the existing response times. This area is currently served by North
Highline Fire District (NHFD- Fire District 11). Tukwila Fire Department and NHFD provide
mutual aid.
The Fire Department will issue sprinkler system and fire alarm permits. Also, annual
inspections will be performed by the Fire Department. New development will be subject to fire
impact fees.
Under State Law NHFD would be required to transfer assets and a proportionate share of its
liabilities to the annexing city or fire district, based on the assessed valuation of the area
annexed. City staff has met with the District 11 Fire Chief. More details on the assets and
liabilities will be available as negotiations progress with District officials. See more detail
under item F- Potential Risks and Liabilities.
Police Response;
Tukwila Police Department does not anticipate any impacts to the police department with
increased calls for service. Police Department has conducted a water -side assessment of the
N. Highline PAA with particular attention to the Duwamish Yacht Club Marina and Delta
Marine dockside. Delta Marine is a secure facility with 24 hour on -site security. There are two
approaches to Delta Marine; one approach is through the main gate and the other is from the
dock side. With one of the Police /Fire boats docked at that facility, no access issues are
anticipated during an emergency response. There are two approaches to the Yacht Club
Marina. The water -side approach would be a few minutes delayed as a result of un- mooring
the boat; however, there is adequate street side approaches to the individual live- aboard
boats.
In examining the King Co. CrimeReports.Com web site, crime reports for the last six months
(November 18, 2011 May18, 2012) indicate no case reports at the Delta Marine facility or the
Duwamish Yacht Club. Crime reporting for the light industrial complex and vicinity within the
PAA shows 14 case reports taken for the last six months. These cases are primarily theft and
burglary cases.
With an average of slightly over two case reports per month, Tukwila Police does not
anticipate significant impacts to the police department. Response times to this area will be
similar to the response times in the north east T9 police reporting district. A priority police
response from the Tukwila Main station is approximately 5 -7 minutes and from T9 district is
less than 3 minutes. This area will be an addition to the T9 police reporting district.
Community Development Department- Building and Permitting, Code Enforcement and
Planning;
Review of any new construction or tenant improvements will be handled by the Department of
Community Development. Any land use or zoning issues will be addressed by the Planning
Department and any code violations will be addressed by the City's Code Enforcement
Officers. Department of Community Development will be able to adequately and efficiently
serve the needs of the businesses to ensure compliance with city regulations. Department of
Community Development does not anticipate any significant issues that cannot be addressed
within the existing budget.

If the Council decides to annex this area, they must also adopt the zoning for the area.
Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan designated this area as Manufacturing Industrial Center /Heavy
(MIC /H) and two parcels west of 14 Ave S and south of S. Director St are designated as
Manufacturing Industrial Center /Light (MIC /L). See comprehensive plan map for the area
(Attachment J). Also, the different uses allowed in MIC /H zone; MIC /L zone; and the shoreline
environment are listed under Attachment I.
Parks Department
No impacts anticipated. The Parks Department will participate in any planning efforts related
to any future trails that are proposed or developed in this area. New development will be
subject to parks impact fee.

Parks, permitting zoning, fire emergency medical services, police services, local road
maintenance, and court services will be provided by the City of Tukwila.
See attached handout (Attachment H) on how government services will change with the
annexation.
F. Potential Risks and Liabilities
There are two areas of risk/liability related to the PAA overlap area: (1) Contamination issues
and (2) LEOFF 1 Fire Pension Liabilities. Each of these is addressed below:
Environmental Liabilities: An unknown risk is whether or not there is any environmental
contamination in the right -of -ways or public storm drains and /or ditches in this area. This is
due to the area's proximity to the Lower Duwamish Waterway (LDW) federal Superfund site.
Ecology and the EPA are currently in the process of identifying potential sources of
contamination that may be impacting the waterway. These potential sources include historical
or current commercial industrial operations, contaminants entering the waterway from spills
during product shipping and handling as well as surface runoff and storm water discharge.
Through this identification process Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) will be identified to
contribute to the clean -up efforts. The current owner or operator of the site will be named as a
PRP (CERCLA Section 107(a)(1)). Therefore, this implicates the City in areas of ownership,
upon annexation, such as streets and storm water outfalls. Under both state and federal law
the owner /operator of an outfall is liable for contamination that is discharged from that outfall.
This can also apply to upland drainage systems which contain contaminants. The city does
not have complete data to determine the extent of contamination within the current drainage
system in the annexation area or the number of potentially contaminated outfalls. Public
Works Department has recommended an initial sampling and testing contract with a
consulting firm at a cost of $17,850.
In addition to outfalls, the City could be liable for the costs to clean up contamination in the
right of way in the annexation area. Once the environmental sampling is done, a more
complete analysis of this issue will be provided.
LEOFF 1 Pension Liabilitv: State law requires annexing jurisdictions to fund the existing
LEOFF I pension obligations of the Fire District. The magnitude of this liability will depend on
the City's on -going negotiations with Fire Districts 11. City staff is meeting with Fire District
11 to clarify the issue and will report back to the City Council before City Council adopts the
final ordinance.
G. Timing of the annexation
It is important to note that the timing when the annexation becomes effective determines when
the city is able to collect taxes.
Property Taxes
For example, if an annexation is completed by August 1 of Year 1(2012), the city can levy
taxes in November of Year 1 (2012) and receive its first substantial property tax revenue after
April 30 of Year 2 (2013). If the annexation is not completed until August 2 (or later) of Year 1
(2012), the city will have to wait until November of Year 2 (2013) to levy its property tax and
will not receive its first revenues until the spring of Year 3 (2014).
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 7
Sales Taxes:
Here are some examples of when sales taxes will be received for various dates of annexation.
1. Effective date of annexation, January 1. Taxes collected in the annexed area in
January are coded to the city. The retailers remit the taxes to Department of Revenue
(DOR) by February 25, and the city receives its first distribution on March 31.
2. Effective date of annexation, February 1. The city cannot levy its sales tax in the
annexed area until April 1, the first date of the quarter after the annexation takes place.
Taxes collected in April are remitted to DOR on May 25, and paid to the city on June
30.
3. Effective date of annexation, March 1. The city cannot levy its sales tax in the annexed
area until April 1, the first date of the quarter after the annexation takes place. Taxes
collected in April are remitted to DOR on May 25, and paid to the city on June 30.
H. Intergovernmental and PAA Overlap Issues:
Tukwila's PAA overlaps with City of Seattle's PAA in this area. Tukwila designated the
PAA in 1995 and Seattle in 1996. The City of Seattle's PAA, Area Y, is much larger than
Tukwila's PAA. The majority of Seattle's PAA overlaps with Burien's PAA. A much smaller area
overlaps with Tukwila's PAA. See attached Regional PAA map.
Seattle designated the portion that is currently an overlap with Tukwila as its PAA in
1996. Pursuant to Growth Management Act, Tukwila appealed Seattle's Comprehensive Plan
amendments to Growth Management Hearing Board. Both cities resolved the dispute by
entering into a Memorandum of Understanding for adjusting some illogical boundaries between
the two cities. However, the boundary lines were not adjusted, even though the Memorandum of
Understanding was signed. The city boundaries between Seattle and Tukwila, as well as the
overlapping PAAs, have been extensively addressed during on -going discussions among King
County, Seattle and Tukwila since 1997. In 1999, Tukwila, Seattle and King County prepared a
draft Interlocal Agreement, in which Tukwila transfers the overlapping portion of its PAA (N.
Highline area) to Seattle, in return for Seattle agreeing to rationalize existing city boundaries
with Tukwila. However the agreement was never signed. In 2001, Tukwila adopted Resolution
#1459 agreeing to revise their Comprehensive Plan map to eliminate the overlapping PAA with
Seattle and to straighten boundaries as laid out in the draft Interlocal Agreement. However,
these revisions were deferred by the Resolution until the Interlocal Agreement with Seattle and
King County was finalized and signed.
Burien and Seattle participated in the Dispute Resolution Program with King County and
entered into agreement where Burien would annex the southern section of North Highline
'Area X' (shown as Burien Annexation Area on Attachment B) and Seattle would annex northern
portion 'Area Y' (shown as Burien /Seattle PAA on Attachment B). Burien annexed the southern
section of North Highline `Area X' in 2010. However Seattle is not pursuing annexation of 'Area
Y' and is not objecting to Burien moving forward at this time with the annexation of `Area Y. On
April 2, 2012, Burien adopted a resolution requesting King County to place on the Nov. 6, 2012,
General Election ballot a proposition concerning annexation of the `Area Y'. Residents of the
proposed annexation area would vote on whether to become part of the City of Burien. Burien's
proposal for annexing Area Y went before Washington State Boundary Review Board for King
County, which conducted a public hearing in January before voting to accept the proposal in
February. If approved by voters, the annexation could take effect in spring 2013.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 8
Seattle has chosen to not move forward with annexing the area that is an overlap with
Burien's PAA, however was recently considering entering into an interlocal agreement with King
County for the portion that is an overlap with Tukwila referred as 'Duwamish Industrial Triangle'
and 'Sliver on the River' by Seattle.
King County Countywide Planning Policy LU -32 establishes a process for resolving PAA
overlaps in the North Highline area:
1. The cities and county should attempt to establish alternative non overlapping
PAA boundaries through a process of negotiation.
2. Absent a negotiated resolution, a city may file a Notice of Intent to Annex with the
Boundary Review Board for King County after the following steps have been taken:
a. The city proposing annexation has, at least 30 days prior to filing a Notice of Intent to
annex with the Boundary Review Board, contacted in writing the cities with the PAA overlap and
the county to provide notification of the city's intent to annex and to request a meeting or formal
mediation to discuss boundary alternatives, and;
b. The cities with the PAA overlap and the county have either:
i. Agreed to meet but failed to develop a negotiated settlement to the overlap within 60
days of receipt of the notice, or;
ii. Declined to meet or failed to respond in writing within 30 days of receipt of the notice.
Starting on April 6, 2011 Tukwila, Seattle and King County participated in the negotiations
process that included using a Dispute Resolution Program and an external mediator, similar to
the process used in the Burien /Seattle PAA overlap dispute. This was initiated by the City of
Seattle by a letter dated February 23, 2011. There was no resolution of the overlap issues as
Seattle was not interested in amending the boundaries due to negative revenue impacts.
Mediation failed to resolve the issue of the overlap and thus, the parties were then able to
pursue annexation under state law, having met the procedural prerequisite of mediation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Should the cost of potential contamination responsibility and LEOFF 1 liability be negligible, the
fiscal analysis indicates that additional revenue will likely exceed the costs associated with the
annexation. Staff will provide an update on this issue as soon as more analysis is completed.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council schedule another meeting for staff to report back with
additional information regarding potential contamination and LEOFF1 liability issues and
address any other additional information that Council may want to make a decision.
NEXT STEPS
After the Council makes a decision on the annexation, staff will prepare an annexation packet
for submission to the Boundary Review Board (BRB). Analysis of how the proposed annexation
complies with Growth Management Act, County Wide Planning Policies, and BRB review criteria
(RCW 36.93.170) is required to be submitted with the Notice of Intent to annex.
After BRB approval City Council shall adopt an ordinance annexing the area to the City of
Tukwila and adopting the zoning for the area.

Shoreline Regulations in the Upper Duwamish /MIC -H Zoned Area
There are two shoreline environments that apply to the North Potential Annexation Area:
1) The Aquatic Environment consists of the land area waterward of the Ordinary High Water
Mark, the water surface together with the underlying lands and water column.
2) The area landward 200 feet of the Ordinary High Water Mark is designated "High Intensity
The High Intensity shoreline environment is applied to the navigable portion of the river within
Tukwila's City limits and in the North Potential Annexation Area.
Water oriented uses (uses that are water dependent, water related or water enjoyment or a
combination of such uses) are encouraged in both the High Intensity and Aquatic environment area.
The first 100 feet of the 200 foot shoreline jurisdiction is called the "buffer area" and uses in that area
are typically limited to non structural, low- impact uses and water dependent uses. Existing uses and
structures in the buffer area that were legally established prior to the approval of the City's new
Shoreline Master Program are considered legal nonconforming and may be continued, however
generally they cannot be expanded. Generally, only industrial uses that are water dependent are
permitted in the shoreline environment buffer area. A water dependent use is one that cannot exist in a
location that is not adjacent to the water.
The attached Matrix is a general list of uses that are permitted in the Aquatic and High Intensity
Environments. There are additional uses listed in the Shoreline Master Program (TMC 18.44.060 and
TMC 18.44.065) that are permitted in both of these shoreline environments.
