The TN allows "Massa Transit FllaciilitiErsi" in all land isle districts subject to City Council approval of an lJnclasisified U'IEI Permit Ql.,' L P). IJ nder the Clity's regulations, lJ U P applications are reviewed under' criteria set forth in TN CI 18.66.060. Th o5IEI criteria are listed below int olc type, followed by 5lourrd Transit's analysis of how the Project meets each criterion. 1. Where appropriate and feasible, all facilities shall be underground. As the City reciogniaec in approving th e exisiting temporally station, it is neither appropriate rior feasible to Iodate the FlrojEuit ndergroi, nd. The Project relies ori a> 'sting railroad lines owned and operated by BNSIR that arae located at grade ori emt ankments. UndEirgroi nding the Priojecit woulc require undergroi nding the entire Station,, anc relocating the misting railroad tracks into a below grade tunnel. Sound Transit lacks the auth ority to mandate that BNSFI relocate its railroac lines below grade. Plc ditionally this requirement woi lc have the effect of precluding 1 his Flrojecit at thisi location, violatinfl RCI\ 36.70A1.20015J. Slounc Transit is rr akin efforts to responc iri part to thisi criterion. All new power arid communications concuit, water, and sewer installed as part of the Project will be Iocatec ndergroi, nd except wit N in t uilding situ cituresi. Th El Station has t een designed to integrate with the surrounding properties and development. 2. The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injuriCLsi ilo property or improvements in ilhe vicinity. The Flroject will not t El rr aerially detriimental to th e put Iia welfare or irrji, riousi to property or improverrents in the vicinity. Th Ei Project will improve public weliare withoct adhersely affecting the surrounding area. The Flrojecit will mak El permanent commuter rail serivice in the Tukwila/ Renton area,, providing a major pi blia t eneiit to th e region by prop idirig effective, efficient mass transit service. The area immediately arm, nd the ['Inject site is largely c nde%eloped. Currently, the prioperly to the north, slot.th, aric east of the Prioject site are \aciant with the Earcieptiori of the Flecviral Reserve Barak south east of the N roject site. The property to the west is developec with a combination of hoi else, convenience stories, fast food resitac rants, and a gas station. None of these improv err ants will be ad\ Errsely affected t y 1 he dei eloKlrr en11 of the Flrojecit.
