From: Steve Lancaster n LN
Date: January 20, 2004
Subject: Public hearing on an ordinance renewing a temporary moratorium on land
divisions and certain land use decisions in the Longacres TOD planning area.
Background
Steven M. Mullet, Mayor
To date, Council has adopted three six -month moratoriums on the acceptance of applications for certain
land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for transit- oriented
development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail /Amtrak station at Longacres (see Figure 1). The
first Ordinance (No. 1996) was adopted in September 2002. When it expired in March, 2003, Council
adopted Ordinance No. 2014, allowing more interim use of properties during this planning period, while
maintaining a moratorium on activities and uses that would have significant long -term impacts on the
ability to successfully develop a TOD. When Ordinance 2014 expired on August 30, 2003, Council
adopted Ordinance No. 2025, which extended the existing moratorium.
Planning for the TOD area is underway, and there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until
a master plan for the area is in place. CAP authorized staff to forward the proposed ordinance to Council
for a public hearing at their COW meeting on January 26, 2004. Notice for the public hearing on the
moratorium was provided. In addition, individual letters were sent to affected property owners and
businesses notifying them of the scheduled hearing. Attached is a copy of the proposed ordinance.
Update on the TOD Plan
In the fall of 2002, the City received a $1.5 million federal grant to:
prepare a TOD master plan for the Longacres area, identifying land use, urban design and
transportation/circulation objectives
complete the Tukwila urban center (TUC) plan and incorporate the TOD plan in the overall
plans for the TUC.
Since passage of the moratorium:
all but one of the series of workshops and stakeholder meetings have occurred.
The staff and consultant team, based on workshop results, is preparing detailed land use
scenarios (based on public and City feedback) for the combined TUC /TOD areas, using
two development alternatives.
This plan will be folded into the overall Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) plan. A draft TUC
plan is anticipated to be available in June, 2004. The final TUC Plan is anticipated to be
completed and ready for the adoption process in fall of 2004.

In November, 2000, the Council approved an Unclassified Use Permit (UUP) for the construction
and operation of the temporary Sounder Commuter Rail Station located within the TOD area.
This UUP will expire at the end of February. In February, staff will be recommending the
extension of this UUP for the temnorary station so that the design of the permanent Sounder
station can be coordinated with the final TUC /TOD plan. Staff recommends a modification to
the current moratorium ordinance to allow the UUP for the temporary station to be extended
while the moratorium is in place.
Provisions of the Ordinance
Within the TOD planning area the current ordinance:
Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to:
land divisions
such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial auto oriented businesses.
Exempts the filing of and approvals related to:
The expansion of existing businesses on existing lots.
Sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements.
Allows the filing of approvals related to:
All other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the
vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales
lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking.
Allows for the extension of a current land use permit from the moratorium provisions.
Proposed Next Stens
1. Council holds a public hearing on the moratorium at their COW meeting on January 26, 2004.
2. At the next regular meeting on February 2, 2004, Council has the following options:
a. Take no action. Current Ordinance No. 2025, establishing a moratorium on development in
the TOD, will expire on February 18, 2004. Land divisions, development activities and land
uses will be allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of a TOD and
other transportation improvements may be more difficult.
b. Adopt the proposed ordinance, essentially extending the current moratorium for six months.
Council would then revisit the issue in six months (August, 2004).
Staff Recommendations
There is still a need for keeping the existing ordinance in place until a land use /transportation
framework is adopted. Staff recommends renewing the ordinance with the modification allowing
the extension of permits for current land use permits. Attached is a copy of the ordinance.

Northern Railroad; and
WHEREAS, Sounder's Unclassified Use Permit for the temporary station
expires in February, 2004, and either the station must be built or permit
renewed prior to this date; and
WHEREAS, the City recognized the unique opportunity to promote a more
compact, mixed use, pedestrian supportive pattern of development that makes
effective use of its proximity and accessibility to the rail station, and includes
a mix of retail, service, office and residential uses; and
WHEREAS, a more intensive pattem of transit- oriented development (TOD)
would assist the City with the redevelopment of the Tukwila Urban Center,
one of thirteen designated urban centers within King County, and provide
workers with commercial, public and recreational services close to where they
live or work; and
WHEREAS, a more intensive pattern of TOD would benefit the region by
assisting in achieving Growth Management Act requirements and increasing
Local and regional transit ridership; and
WHEREAS, in August, 2001, the City held a workshop, inviting other key
stakeholders to explore the possibilities for a TOD in the Longacres area and
WHEREAS, the workshop resulted in strong support for the project and a
"vision" for land use and transportation in the Longacres TOD area; and
WHEREAS, to implement this vision, the City applied for and was awarded a
$1.5 million grant by the Federal Highways Administration to prepare a
master plan for the Longacres area, identifying land use, urban design and
transportation/circulation objectives, as well as to prepare implementing
ordinances and design guidelines, complete environmental review of the plan
and designate it as a planned action, and integrate the design of the permanent
commuter rail/Amtrak station; and
WHEREAS, while the City anticipates the TOD master plan project to be
completed by the end of 20043, some issues need to be addressed immediately
in order for the TOD project to be successful; and
WHEREAS, the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) zoning district allows for a
variety of high- intensity regional uses in the TOD planning area, including
light industry and warehousing, some of which may not be of appropriate type,
density or character to support the intent of a TOD; and
WHEREAS, the City has already received a proposal for development within
the TOD planning area that would have been inconsistent with the stated
vision for the TOD and threaten the successful implementation of the TOD
master plan; and
WHFREAS, the Longacres site is considered one of the region's key
opportunities for TOD, primarily due to the large amount of vacant and
redevelopable land surrounding the station; and
WHEREAS. Sound Transit's Tlnclassified Ilse Permit for the tem ,orary
Sounder Commuter Rail Station will need to he extended in order to ensure
that the nernranent Sounder Station is designed based on a com-ileted TOD
master nlan. and
WHEREAS, any significant amount of new development occurring prior to
the establishment of a desired pattern of uses in the TOD master plan could
jeopardize the City's ability to implement the TOD plan; and
WHEREAS, the City has already received a proposal for development within
the TOD planning area that would have been inconsistent with the stated
vision for the TOD and threaten the successful implementation of the TOD
master plan; and
WHEREAS, the City's Municipal Code allows for the division of land and
adjustment of boundary lines that, if allowed to occur in the TOD planning
area, would make future land assemblage for a TOD project difficult and
costly, and threaten the successful implementation of the TOD master plan;
and
WHEREAS, within the TOD planning area, the City desires to take
immediate steps to preserve the land available for development or
redevelopment and restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the
area until the TOD at Longacres master plan and environmental review are
completed, certain implementing zoning regulations are adopted by the City,
and other related regional transportation infrastructure issues are decided; and
WHEREAS, the City also desires to ensure public input on these issues; and

Subject: Renewing the current moratorium on certain land divisions and development
activities within the transit oriented development (TOD) planning area
Background
To date, Council has adopted three six -month moratoriums on the acceptance of applications for
certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for
transit- oriented development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail/Amtrak station at
Longacres (see Figure 1). The first Ordinance (No. 1996) was adopted in September 2002. When
it expired in March, 2003, Council adopted Ordinance No. 2014, allowing more interim use of
properties during this planning period, while maintaining a moratorium on activities and uses that
would have significant long -term impacts on the ability to successfully develop a TOD. The
third ordinance (No. 2025) was adopted in August 2003, renewing Ordinance 2014.
Ordinance No. 2025 will expire February 18, 2004. Council must decide whether to hold a public
hearing and renew the ordinance or let the moratorium lapse. Planning for the TOD area is
progressing, however there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a master plan
for the area is in place.
In November, 2000, the Council approved an Unclassified Use Permit (UUP) for the construction
and operation of the temporary Sounder Commuter Rail Station located within the TOD area.
This UUP will expire at the end of February. In February, staff will be recommending the
extension of this UUP for the temnorary station so that the design of the nermanent Sounder

the current moratorium ordinance to allow the UUP for the temporary station to be extended
while the moratorium is in place.

Update on the TOD Plan
In the fall of 2002, the City received a $1.5 million federal grant to prepare a TOD master plan
for the Longacres area, identifying land use, urban design and transportation/circulation
objectives. These grant funds will also be used to complete the Tukwila urban center (TUC) plan
and incorporate the TOD plan in the overall plans for the TUC.
Since passage of the original moratorium:
Three of a series of four workshops and stakeholder meetings have been held. The consultant
team, based on workshop results, is developing a future land use and capital improvement
scenario for the TOD area.
This plan will be folded into the overall Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) plan. A draft of the
TUC plan (including the TOD area) is anticipated to be completed and ready for public
review in June, 2004. Council consideration of the draft plan is expected to take place in fall,
2004.
Options
1. Council renews Ordinance 2025 with the recommended modification. It remains in effect
for six months, at the end of which Council must hold another public hearing and renew,
modify, or repeal the moratorium.
2. Council renews the Ordinance without modification. Its provisions remain the same as
the current Ordinance No. 2025, without modifications. The UUP for the Sounder
temporary commuter rail station lapses and the station becomes non compliant The
moratorium remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold
another public hearing and renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium.
3. Council modifies the Ordinance further. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of
which Council must hold another public hearing and either renew, modify, or repeal the
moratorium.
4. Council allows the Ordinance to lapse. Land divisions, development activities and land
uses will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and
implementation of a TOD and other transportation improvements may be more difficult.
Proposed Next Stens
There is still a need for keeping the existing ordinance in place until a land use /transportation
framework is adopted. Staff recommends renewing the ordinance without modifications.
Attached is a copy of the ordinance.
1. Forward the Ordinance as written or amended to the Council for a public hearing at their
COW meeting on January 26, 2004.
2. At their regular meeting on February 2, 2004, the Council will determine whether to renew or
modify the Ordinance, or allow the current moratorium to lapse.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Tukwila City Council is considering renewing Ordinance No. 2025 establishing a temporary
moratorium on certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area
designated for Transit Oriented Development (TOD) around the temporary commuter
rail/Amtrak station at Longacres (see Figure 1). This renewal will include a modification
allowing the extension of current land use permits under the moratorium.
According to City records, your property or business may be affected by this moratorium.
Consequently, we wanted to notify you of the public hearing on this ordinance scheduled for
Monday, January 26, 2004, at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, located in Tukwila City Hall,
6200 Southcenter Blvd.
The moratorium is intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and
restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation
plans and regulations supporting the TOD are in place.
Within the TOD area, the current ordinance.
Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to:
land divisions
such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial auto oriented businesses.
Allows the filing of and approvals related to:
The expansion of existing businesses on existing lots.
Sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements.
Steven M. Mullet, Mayor
Allows the filing of approvals related to:

Renewing Moratorium on TOD The moratorium on building in the Transit Oriented
Development area (TOD) has been in place since 2002. Since that time the City has broadened
the uses allowed in the area. The TOD master plan has also made progress, with a series of
meetings to explore future land uses and infrastructure plans. The current moratorium will
expire February 18.
Steve explained that one thing in the ordinance extending the moratorium is an allowance for the
Sound Transit station unclassified use permit to be extended Staff wants that provision in order
to allow negotiations for the station to proceed. Steve thought they could negotiate a better
permanent station if the permit were not forced to be closed now. The design for the permanent
station is still in flux.
Pam asked about staffing for Sound Transit. Steve said he has had from 1 -1.25 FTE people
working on Sound Transit over the past couple of years. However, as work on permitting is
nearing an end, the next phase will relate more to development and construction, which is why
Public Works is devoting a person to Sound Transit now. Pain asked that he detail that in a short
memo to Council. Recommend moratorium ordinance to COW.
Tukwila Library Rhonda and the mayor have a meeting with Bill Ptacek to discuss changes at
Tukwila Library. Rhonda explained the City had an agreement with the Library District in 1982,
and another interlocal was adopted when citizens assumed the cost of the Library District taxes
in 1991. The later agreement discusses how library services will remain at the same level, which
leads to various interpretation. This item will be on the Council agenda next week. Information.

Subject: Fort Dent /Interurban Avenue South Sewer Proiect
Consultant Recommendation
ISSUE
Approve AHBL, Inc., for $58,354.00 to perform design work for the Fort Dent/Interurban
Avenue South Sewer Project.
BACKGROUND
Starfire Sports is constructing a soccer facility in Fort Dent Park. When the indoor soccer
center is complete, the existing Sanitary Lift Station No. 6 will not have enough capacity to
accommodate the proposed sewage flows from the soccer center.
ANALYSIS
The existing Sanitary Sewer Lift Station No. 6, serving the Fort Dent area, will be at over
capacity with the completion of the Starfire Soccer Complex in Fort Dent Park this summer.
To mitigate the increased flows of sanitary sewage to Lift Station No. 6 from Starfire Soccer
Complex, the flows from Lift Station No. 5 will be rerouted west in Fort Dent Way and then
north in Interurban Avenue South 2100 linear feet north to the existing sanitary sewer.
Since this is a City owned facility and does not enhance the entire sewer system, this project
will be initially funded by the City's 303 Facilities Fund. The 303 Fund will be reimbursed by
Starfire's permit fees along with future development and possibly by the sewer fund.
Three firms were short- listed from the current Consultant Roster; AHBL, Inc., The
McAndrews Group and SVR. AHBL, Inc. has been involved in the design of municipal
infrastructures for over 20 years and has the most direct experience and understanding of the
needs of the City of Tukwila for this project. Therefore, AHBL, Inc. is recommended to carry
out the design work for the Fort Dent/Interurban Avenue South Sanitary Sewer Project.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize Mayor to execute agreement with AHBL, Inc., in the amount of $58,354.00.

Giberson, Mike Sweeney, Rick Still, Lucy Lauterbach
1. Miscellaneous Painting Proiect Accentance The City had painting and miscellaneous small
projects at the Tukwila Library, Minkler Shops and other places. Washington Industrial Coatings
won the bid for the project, which was completed in late October 2003. The project was within
budget. Pam noticed a small accounting error that will be adjusted. Jim said he will try to change
the way small painting projects are bid in the future. Recommend to consent agenda
acceptance of nroiect and release of retainage to Washington Industrial Coatings.
2. Duwamish Area Improvements The project to install sewers, storm drains, sidewalks and
some street improvements is finished. The project was a joint one between the City and ValVue
whose sewer district covers Duwamish. Both governments each spent about $1.1 million on the
project. The City and ValVue got a Public Works Trust Fund loan to cover the cost of
improvements. The project is in and working well. Recommend project acceptance at a
Regular Meeting.
3. Fort Dent/ Interurban Sewer Proiect There are currently two lift stations around Fort Dent
Park After studying the area, staff recommended the Starfire project's storm water go to Lift
Station 6 at the north end of the park. From there it will go under the railroad tracks to the Metro
sewer treatment plant. However, with more development going into that area, more capacity is
needed. The solution is to also run a storm drain line on Interurban from Fort Dent north. The
$150,000 cost for that line will come from the small projects 303 fund, which is a general fund.
The committee wanted to know why the funds weren't taken from the enterprise fund, or if
repayments of the cost through future developer agreements could repay the 303 fund. Jim said
he would include a page on the financing of the project when it comes to Council.
Another issue that was discussed was what level of project was allowed to be done by short-list
consultants. Staff replied that all engineering designs can come from that list. Its purpose is to
ensure a certain quality in the engineering reports. Recommend AHBL agreement and
financing details to COW.
4. Golf Course Proiect Change Order Mike explained they found out in late November they
needed a new sewer line to the clubhouse due to a fracture and sag affecting flow in the former
line intended to be used.. When the decision to replace the pipe was made they asked the current
contractor to estimate costs. Mike. The City rejected the price as too high, and the contractor
secured other proposals that demonstrated nearly the same costs or higher. The higher costs are
attributed to the need to deeply excavate a trench to expected 22' depths, and the equipment,
materials, and labor needed to de- water, shore and brace the trench. Ground water can cause
collapses and fill the trench unless de- watering wells and related measures are taken to prevent
that. Mike said they are anxious to proceed to keep the project on its mid April opening
schedule; however, this may keep the rest of the parking lot from being completed on schedule.
