DATE: February 22, 200~
SUBJECT: Macadam Winter Garden Budget
The Macadam Winter Garden project design team consists of the Johnson Braund Design
Group, Inc., City staff - Bruce Fletcher, Rick Still, Paul Surek and Council member Pam
Linder. The vision of the team was to design and construct a very unique four-season
garden that residents can enj oy year round.
After several design meetings, Parks and Arts Commission meetings and a public forum,
Johnson Braund has designed an outstanding garden to include walking paths, entry
structures, a water feature, educational signage, street improvements to include parking
and' a complete plant list.
With the impressive design, the reality is that the approved budgeted amount of $160,000
will not fund this proj ect. The design team has made significant cuts to the design
($40,000 water feature) and we continue to look at other cost savings measures.
The projected construction and design costs are estimated at $235,000 to $240,000. The
staff is currently applying for a parks grant and we will have volunteer planting events to
help reduce construction costs. We have worked with the Secret Gardens of Tukwila to
secure a donation for the entry structure and will solicit other donations.
After thoughtful consideration, the Parks Department is requesting to transfer funds from
another project to complete the funding of the Macadam Winter Garden. Cascade View
Community Park, phase II is funded at $115,000. The Parks Department would like to
complete phase II as an "in-house" project. The phase II would include grading, planting
and possible trail construction. If approved, transferring funds would allow the City to
complete both projects in a cost efficient manner. The Parks Commission supports this
transfer request with a 5-0 vote at their February meeting.
It is the request of the Parks and Recreation Department, to transfer $80,000 from the
Cascade View Community Park phase II, to the Macadam Winter Garden project.

4. Zonin2 chan2es to amend TUC zonine at TOD The Lodging Tax Advisory Board (L TAB)
owns some land near 1-405 in the northern most section of the transit-oriented development area
(TOD) near Interurban. A proposal for a large mixed-use project south of the City property has
come in. Zoning changes are needed to allo\v that. The Committee talked about whether ~he
parking requirements were adequate to accommodate all the cars that \vould be part of the
development. Requiring one car per bedroom helped with the condo/apartments. A conditional
use design review will be used on the project.
The financial implications for the city include the fact that the general fund no\v "O\VllS" the
property, and the City has been receiving money from the L T AB to payoff the debt. Land is
needed for future rail lines on the east side of the condo development, and most of the city's land
too would be needed if the Burlington Northern railroad tracks were s\vitched from the west side
of the TOD to the east side. The city would lose the L T AB funds, but Kevin explained that
Lodging Tax was really part of the City, too, so it is not such a major loss. Jack said the City is
trying to acquire the space for the tracks move now, so it will be there \\,'hen the move is needed
for the Strander street extension. This may not happen for 10-15 years. The Committee asked for
more clarification of both the land swap and the financial implications involved. Recommend to
CO\V.
7. Macadam Winter Garden Bruce and Paul introduced Michael Brown, 'who is part of the
team working on the winter garden. Michael talked about their plan, which satisfied criteria from
winter beauty and interest, to low maintenance, tree removal and planting, and safety. About 14
3' trees \vould go along the street, and 60 more trees \vithin the park. Bruce said the plan was
stellar, but the city funds could not afford the $275k cost. To make it affordable Bruce will take
$80,000 from Phase II of Cascade View Park, saying his staff has said they can do most of the
\vork themselves. That brings city funding to $240,000, and if a \vater feature is cut, the rest of
the plan could be implemented. Take plan to Council.
8. Fourth Quarter Reports There were no problems with the fourth quarter reports.

Re: High -rise Ordinance modification
The fire department has asked the City Council to modify the current High -rise
Ordinance with the following section.
16.XX.XXX Exceptions
Any exceptions to the items covered by this Chapter shall be granted by the
Chief of the Fire Department or by the Fire Marshal. Requests for exception must be
made in writing; exceptions granted or denied shall be in writing.
This is the same language that we have in all the Fire Department Ordinances and is
consistant with the intent of how we manage and deal with performanced based code
designed buildings. This section was ommitted when the ordinance was adopted last
year and with the upcoming projects scheduled for construction we may need to have
the ability to allow alternate methods or means.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

1. Tukwila Vallev South Fiscal Report The Segale group had presented a draft fiscal
assessment of the effect of their TVS developments under three scenarios for build out. Uses will
include office, R&D, retail, and residential units. Analysis was done for three variations of
square footage according to how much was successfully absorbed by the market. The numbers
were difficult to compare to anything else in Tukwila.Dennis thought the committee and Council
needed a "big picture" of the development costs and revenues. Steve L said staff will work with
the model to get it into a format that is easier to understand and use. The committee decided to
continue work on this information in committee before it goes to Council. Reschedule.
2. Tukwila Financial Policies In 2004 the committee had looked at other cities financial
policies and indicated which might be good for Tukwila to include in a policy. Kevin and Alan
brought a draft policy in three parts: debt policy, financial planning; and "other" policies. The
committee spent time working through the debt policies. The most important debt policy is for
the city to keep in mind the debt repayment, and how those annual costs must be taken from
general revenues. Though Tukwila has a potentially high debt level, the ability to pay back debts
is more limited. The committee worked through most of the financial planning model policies.
The rest of the policies and the direction given at this meeting will be updated for the next
committee meeting. Reschedule.
3. Above Tank Variance Requests Though the committee members did not have a problem
with an above ground tank request at the county transfer station. They thought the policies in
granting a variance needed to be thoroughly understood. Reschedule.
*, 4. Hh!hrise Ordinance 2053 The ordinance that addresses highrise building inadvertently
dropped an exceptions section when the new I-code was adopted last year. This is a
housekeeping change, and the committee supported adding it back into the code. Recommend
ordinance amendment to COW.

Project No.
ISSUE
Historically the City has contracted with human service providers that offer their services on
Tukwila School District grounds. In order to support and clarify communications around the
needs of and use of space and provision of services the attached interlocal was initiated by the
City.
BACKGROUND
With the change in Education Services Director, we deemed it important to foster increased
communication around the integration of human services in school facilities. At times, even with
established relationships, providers are challenged with space issues and communication
challenges.
DISCUSSION/ANAL YSIS/ ALTERNATIVES
The District is currently reviewing the most recent version of the agreement. Both the City's and
School District's attorneys have approved the attached language. Weare awaiting signature from
the School District and School Board.

-"} :hat the City has contracted \vith service providers who provide some services on the school
grounds. Because administrations and school board members change, Evie thought it a good idea
to have an interlocal agreement cov~ring human service use of the schools. The Committee
agreed it \-vas a good idea, and said they supported the interlocal. The school district is revie\ving
it novv also. Recommend interlocal to CO\V.
2. 'Vest Hill Annexation Annie spoke first, saying that annexation was an open issue on the
West Hill. Most of the area is in the Renton school district. Their main business revenues come
from t\VO casinos and a bo\vling alley. It is a largely residential area. King County has started a
study that will give information about their area, and they are in turn finding information from
Renton, Seattle and perhaps Tukwila. They asked what Tukwila's interest in annexation might
be, and if there was any interest at all, tqey would include Tukwila in their study. Dennis talked
about h~~ own efforts at annexation, and expressed appreciation to Annie and Paul for their work.
He said he drove around the area, and saw the roads allIed north and south in the \V ~st Hill area.
He thought there \-vere almost no connections between West Hill and Tukwila in any social,
community, school or other manner. Joan said the City is novv very busy with the annexation
with an area that was in our potential Annexation Area for a long time. She thought that would
preclude any other annexations in the near term. Refer issue of Tukwila's interest in
annexation to CO\V.
3. Plannin~ Commission Sig:n Code Recommendations The Committee started to work
though the amendments that had been charted in a matrix. Dennis had several questions on the
summary memo before the matrix. Going through the new regulations, he expressed concern
about the non-sport use of the animated scoreboards, and w"hether "minimal" off-site viewing
would be disruptive or bothersome to anyone. Brandon explained that though scoreboarchWill be
allovved in LDR zones that have a Public Recreation Overlay, the only t\VO signs no\v are at
Foster High and Starfire. The changes VI"ould allo\v video displaces at sports stadiums that seat
2,000 people. The code change clarifies that signs that are not clearly visible from the public
right of \vay or adjacent properties are not regulated under the sign code. It increases the number
of permanent signs pennitted at Public Facilities in residential zones to be consistent with what is
permitted at commercial properties. It also calls for greater signage at the rvfuseum of Flight.

LOS-005: Zoning code change to amend the TUC zoning district to allow residential
mixed-use development;near the Commuter Rail/Amtrak Station
Background
In late 2004, DCD \vas approached with a proposal for a mixed-use residential project in the Transit-
Oriented Development (TOD) area of the Tukwila Urban Center. Tuk\vila Station, a 300 unit
condominium development with 5,000 square feet of retail, would be located on the property north of
Longacres Way and the Commuter Rail Station, between the UP and BNSF railroad tracks (See
Figures 1 and 2 in the attached Staff Report). This "pilot" project would constitute a significant first
step towards achieving our land use and transportation goals for the TOD area and the TUC Subarea
Plan.
The proj eet' s primary obstacle is that residential development of this property is not allowed under
TUC regulations. While the project is consistent with the proposed TUC subarea plan's vision of
residential uses \-vithin walking distance of the commuter rail station, the project is being proposed
prior to the plan's adoption.
This amendment is intended to add language to the TUC District section of the Tukwila Zoning Code
that would allow mixed-use TaD residential development within a Y4 mile distance from the Rail
station property. The amendment would also institute a new parking standard for this type of
residential Transit-oriented Development. This change is supported by current comprehensive plan
policies and is well within the scope of changes being proposed by the draft TUC Plan. The Tukwila
City Council was briefed on this issue in December and agreed to forward it to the Planning
Commission. On January 27.2005. a public hearing was held before the Planning Commission. No
public comments were made and the Planning Commission unanimously voted to forurard the
amendments to the City Council. This amendment was consider by the CAP Committee on February
15,2005 and forwarded to the COW for consideration.
Existing Zoning and Development Envisioned in the Tukvvila Urban Center Plan
The Tukwila Comprehensive Plan designated this area as part of the Tukwila Urban Center District
(TUC). Urban density commercial development is allowed in this area, but residential cannot be a
component unless it is within 500 feet of a water mnenity. Land uses .within the TUC
District ~Tere adopted prior to the presence of the Commuter Rail! Amtrak Station. The current City~
\vide parking standard for multi-family development calls for t\vo spaces for units \vith up to three
bedrooms plus one additional space for every t~TO bedrooms thereafter (Figure 18.7, Tuk\vila Zoning
Code) .
6300 Southcenter Boulevard} Suite #100 · Tukwila, Washington 98188 · Phone: 206-431-3670 . Fax: 206-431-3665
The proposed amendment, like the draft TUC Plan recognizes that the Commuter Rail! Amtrak
Station is a transportation amenity. Both the amendment and the draft TUC plan allo\v high-
density mixed-use development oriented to\vard the station. The main difference benveen the
amendment and the TUC Plan is that the amendment limits development of housing to a ~ mile
distance from the rail station. Although ~ mile is considered to approximate a comfortable
walking distance to the station, mixed-use housing, as recommended in the draft TUC Plan, will
extend much further from the station. Existing development in the area \vithin ~ mile of the rail
station is commercial and industrial in nature. hnpacts to the surrounding properties would
generally be the same as those anticipated under the existing code. The project will require a
Conditional Use Pennit and Design Review.
Transit-oriented development is, as the name implies, oriented to attract high users of transit.
For this reason, parking requirements are generally lower for TOD proiects. This amendment, in
keeping with the draft TUC Plan proposes a TOD residential parking standard of one space for
each one bedroom unit and two spaces for each unit with two bedrooms or more. This standard
provides more parking than that required for similar developments in the nearby suburban
downtowns of Renton, Bellevue and Auburn.
In short, the proposed code changes are well within the scope of changes being proposed by the
draft TUC Plan. Comprehensive Plan policies support mixed-use residential housing in this area
because it adds to the overall economic vitality of the City; provides quality housing for the
community; and links transportation and land use in a way that encourages non-auto
transportation choices for residents.
Options:
1) Wait to adopt zoning changes until the Final TUC Plan is completed. Under this
scenario, the City loses the opportunity to "jump-start" the area around the station by
attracting a quality residential development now.
2) Adopt other transit-oriented development-related changes proposed in the draft ruc
plan. This was not considered because it seems rational that the City should view broad-
based changes to the district's standards in the context of the entire TUC Plan.
3) Adopt the discussed amendment, but within a shorter distance of the station. Although
this was initially considered. It was thought that limiting it to a smaller area would
unnecessarily compromise other TOD development opportunities that may arise before
the TUC Plan is adopted.
4) Amend the TUC zoning district to allo\v residential mixed-use development near the
Commuter Rail/Amtrak Station.
Staff Recommendation
Forward to the Planning Commission the proposed amendment, in conjunction with the proposed
public/private partnership agreement, to a regular Council Meeting for a public hearing and
consideration.

PubliclPrivate partnership relate 0 Strander Extension and
Pacific Commercial Properties proposal for "Tukwila Station"
;
The City has an opportunity to enter into a public/private partnership with a private developer.
This partnership would involve an exchange of real property with Pacific Commercial Properties
in order to facilitate:
1. the future extension of Strander Boulevard, and
2. a mixed-use transit-oriented development proposal with positive implications for
the TUC.
This amendment was considered by the CAP Committee on February 15,2005. The conceptual
agreement was approved and forwarded to the COW for consideration.
BACKGROUND
Strander Extension. Renton has identified a preferred alternative for the future extension of
Strander Boulevard eastward ITom West Valley Highway. Tukwila has informally concurred.
The preferred alternative would require relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) right-
of-way ITom its current location to a location adjacent to and west of the existing Burlington
Northern right-of-way (see Figure 1). This alternative has cost advantages for the project, and
additional advantages for Tukwila relating to the future development potential of the area. A
potential risk of this alternative is that development could occur on the portion of the future
UPRR right-of-way currently owned by Stuart McLeod, thus making future right-of-way
acquisition more expensive and possibly threatening the viability of the Strander Extension
proj ect.
Tukwila Station Proposal. Pacific Commercial Properties (PCP) has proposed a mixed-use
development on property currently owned by Stuart McCleod. The property is located north of
Longacres Way, between the Union Pacific and the Burlington Northern rights-of-way. The
project, tentatively named "Tukwila Station," would include approximately 250 to 300
residential units and about 5,000 square feet of commercial space.
The City of Tukwila owns approximately 1.63 acres of land immediately north of the Tukwila
Station site.
Phone: 206-433-1800 · City Hall Fax: 206-433-1833 · www.ci.tukwila.wa.us
PROPOSAL
Pacific Commercial Properties (PCP) has indicated a willingness to work with the City for the
purposes of this land exchange. The sequence of transactions is keyed to Figure 2 and would be
as follows:
Step 1 PCP transfers the easternmost 100-foot strip of their property to the City, retaining a 30-
foot easement for interim parking purposes. This eastern 100 foot strip is needed for relocation
of the Union Pacific RR right-of-way to Tukwila and measures approximately 103,525 sq. ft.
Step 2 The City transfers a portion (approx. 36,590 sq. ft )ofits property to the north to PCP,
which PCP will use as a portion of its Tukwila Station development.
Step 3 At the point in time where Strander is ready to be constructed and the Union Pacific
right-of-way is ready to be relocated, PCP would relinquish its easement and the City would
transfer 43 feet of the old UP right-of-way to PCP (approx 59,180 sq. ft.). PCP would relocate
its displaced parking from the easement on the east of its property, to this 43-foot strip on the
west.
At the end of this process, PCP would have transferred 103,525 square feet of property to the
City; the City would have transferred 95,770 square feet to PCP. All this would be detailed in a
development agreement.
SEQUENCE
1. PCP transfers area shown to the City, retaining 30- foot easement for parking purposes.
2. City transfers area shown to PCP.
3. When funding for the Strander project has been secured and the project is in the design
phase, the City transfers 100- foot strip of property to Union Pacific RR in exchange for "old"
UP right of way, in conjunction with Strander extension. City transfers 43' wide area shown
to PCP.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
By way of background, the HotellMotel Tax Fund (101) purchased the land for $1,450,000 with
resources received via an interfund loan from the General and Arterial Street Funds. The
outstanding loan balance as of December 31,2004, was $1,250,000. The 2005 Budget provides
for a $200,000 loan repayment. This would leave a balance owing to the General and Arterial
Street Funds of$1,050,000 as of December 31,2005.
The Lodging Tax Committee may accept a transfer of land ownership to the General Fund in
exchange for the debt forgiveness. However, the Lodging Tax Committee may not approve this
transaction if the appraised value is detennined to be below $1 million. Preparations are
presently undelWay to secure appraisal services. The land transfer proposal will be discussed
with the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee on March 3,2005.
2
If the transfer is approved through the developer agreement, the planning model will initially be
reduced by the amount of the interfund loan balance remaining. The reduction will be mitigated
by the revenue opportunities that are addressed in the next section of this memorandum.
REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES
The Tukwila Station Proj ect proposal stands to generate (4) revenue sources for the City -
property tax, sales-tax, real estate excise tax (REET), and the building permits and fees. In
discussions with the developer, he has indicated a $65 million dollar valuation at buildout with
estimated construction costs of $30 million. Given the indicated values, the following revenues
could reasonably be expected from the proposed project:
Property Tax A
Property Tax B
Sales Tax
REET
Build PennitlFees
$100,000
$100,000
$300,000
$250,000
$350,000
Construction
Annual
Construction Period
Period of Initial Sales
Application Period
Again as addressed in the financial implications section of this memorandum, these revenues
would offset the reduction in the planning model for the amount of the interfund loan balance
payable at the time the land transfer is executed.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
If the City does not partner with Pacific Commercial Properties to facilitate this land transaction
work, it is likely we will be faced with a proposal to develop the McLeod site in a manner that
will preclude the current plans for extending Strander. At the very least, full development of the
McLeod property would significantly increase the future cost of the Strander extension project,
possibly affecting its viability.
RECOMMENDATION
Conceptually approve public/private partnership with Pacific Commercial Properties. Forward
this conceptual approval in conjunction with approval of multi-family TOD amendment to the
February 28th meeting of the Council of the Whole. Authorize Staff to prepare public/private
partnership agreement with Pacific Commercial Properties.

Annexation of West Hill
An annexation committee of West Hill has asked the City whether they are interested in
annexing the West Hill area. The annexation committee is comprised of about fifteen
members coming from the West Hill Community Council, the Business Association,
South Lake Community Improvement Committee and some at-large members.
The State's Growth Management Act encourages County areas that have not been
annexed to either incorporate or annex to a neighboring city. King County is prepared to
offer incentives to cities to encourage them to annex unincorporated areas such as
West Hill.
Two members of the annexation committee said a study done in 1999 by King County
showed that incorporation was not a viable option for the area. Since that time there
have been changes such as the opening of two casinos that have added revenues, and
an analysis today could have a different result.
King County has hired a consultant to look at the West Hill area to see what benefits it
could offer to a city, as well as West Hill benefits of annexing to a particular city. Both
Renton and Seattle are responding to a study of their areas from West Hill's
perspectives. The annexation committee wanted to know if the consultant should
consider Tukwila in that study. When the committee members came to Community and
Parks they said if Tukwila was interested even a little bit, they would consider us along
with Renton and Seattle. Figures on everything from taxes to assessed valuation to
household salary averages will be among the items in the study. The study has started
already, and should be finished between May and July.
The mayor supports considering this annexation because it would add 14,000 residents
to our city, which he sees as strengthening Tukwila. Others consider that an annexation
that large could overwhelm our city of 17,000. The area includes wealthier neighbor-
hoods that are on Lake Washington, as well as older, less affluent neighborhoods
without many urban amenities.
The area has bonded to buy two new fire trucks for their two volunteer fire stations that
are staffed by five paid staff and many volunteers. Fire District 20, Water District 125,
Skyway and Renton provide fire, water and sewer service to the area. It is in the Renton
School District, so that even students who live across the street from a Seattle school
go to Renton schools.
The Community and Parks Committee recommended this issue to the Council as they
recognized they could not themselves decide the issue. The Council can discuss
whether you are perhaps interested in annexation and in considering the information in
the study that is being prepared; or whether you have no interest in annexation in the
near future and don't want to participate in or to consider the study.

Tukwila City Council

The West Hill Unincorporated Community Council, together ",ith the Greater Skyway Business
Association and South Lake Improvement Committee has formed the West Hill Governance Task
Force for the purpose of considering the various options for future governance of our community.
Those options include annexation to an adjoining city (Seattle, Renton or Tukwila),
incorporation, or remaining unincorporated.
In conjunction with King County and staff from the cities of Renton and Seattle, we have been
pursuing various research and studies. In order to fully consider all options, it is necessary for us
to have a clear understanding of any interest or possibilities regarding annexation from all three
adjoining cities. We have been receiving such information from both Seattle and Renton, who we
understand are continuing their own investigations. We have no information from the city of
Tukwila as to either the potential interest or pertinent city data.
Our representatives will be attending your next Council meeting on February 7,2005. We would
hope to have the opportunity to address you regarding these matters at that time.
We have enclosed various materials to give you a sense of our process and status. If you have
questions or would like to discuss these matters prior to the meeting, please feel free to contact
Paul-Berry (206-772-1772) or Annie Dukes (206-721-1895).

King County and the citizen-led West Hilf Governance Options Task Force are initiating a
Governance Options Study to review governance options, build an action plan to implement the
most feasible annexation or incorporation option, and develop a recommendation to the West Hill
community. The report should reflect collaboration between the community, the surrounding
cities, and special purpose districts in future governance decision.
Term
The Task Force's work is expected to take five meetings over the course of six months from late
January to June 2005.

Operating Principles
. Task Force meetings will start and end on time. ......
. A structured agenda will be prepared for each meeting, with discussion and policy issues
identified. Every effort will be made to provide members with materials in advance of the
meeting to facilitate a productive discussion.
. Meeting summaries will be prepared after each meeting to identify key issues discussed and
decisions reached.
. All members' interests and positions will be respected and considered.
. Task Force members are expected to discuss issues, request additional information as
needed, and work to reach consensus on recommendations.
. Consensus means that each member understands the decision on the table and is prepared
to support the majority opinion of the group. If consensus cannot be reached and members
wish to vote, a majority vote of members present may do so, validating the decision. Each
member of the Task Force has one vote.
. Communications with the County, Cities, Special Districts, Berk & Associates, and the press
will follow a process agreed upon by the Committee. Suggested: communicate questions,
issues and suggestions to the co-chairs, County liaison or consulting team.
. Other operating principles can be suggested by the Committee at the first meeting.

Annexation
1. lnterlocal A!!reement ,vith Tuk,vila School District for Human Services Evie explained
that the City has contracted \vith service providers who provide some services on the school
grounds. Because administrations and school board members change, Evie thought it a good idea
to have an interlocal agreement covering human service use of the schools. The Committee
agreed it \-vas a good idea, and said they supported the interlocal. The school district is reviewing
it no\v also. Recommend interlocal to CO\V.
2. \Vest Hill Annexation Annie spoke first, saying that annexation was an open issue on the
West Hill. Most of the area is in the Renton school district. Their main business revenues come
from t\VO casinos and a bo\vling alley. It is a largely residential area. King County has started a
study that will give information about their area, and they are in turn finding information from
Renton, Seattle and perhaps Tukwila. They asked what Tuk\-vila's interest in annexation might
be, and if there was any interest at all, t~ey would include Tukwila in their study. Dennis talked
about h~$ o\vn efforts at aQ11exatio"n, and expressed appreciation to Annie and Paul for their w.ork.
He said he drove around the area, and saw the roads allIed north and south in the \V ~st Hill area.
He thought there \vere almost no connections between West Hill and Tukwila in any social,.
community, school or other manner. Joan said the City is no\v very busy with the annexation
with an area that was in our potential Annexation Area for a long time. She thought that would
preclude any other annexations in the near term. Refer issue of Tukwila's interest in
annexation to CO\V.
3. Plannin!! Commission Si!!n Code Recommendations The Committee started to work
though the amendments that had been charted in a matrix. Dennis had several questions on the
summary memo before the matrix. Going through the new regulations, he expressed concern
about the non-sport use of the animated scoreboards, and w-hether "minimal" off-site viewing
would be disruptive or bothersome to anyone. Brandon explained that though scoreboarchWill be
allo\ved in LDR zones that have a Public Recreation Overlay, the only t\VO signs no\v are at
Foster High and Starfire. The changes \-vould allo\v video displaces at sports stadiums that seat
2,000 people. The code change clarifies that signs that are not clearly visible from the public
right of\vay or adjacent properties are not regulated under the sign code. It increases the number
of permanent signs permitted at Public Facilities in residential zones to be consistent with what is
permitted at commercial properties. It also calls for greater signage at the rvfuseum of Flight.
Fonvard sign code chan!!es to CO\V.

West Hill Annexation
Last Monday two representatives from the West Hill appeared before Council with a
request that the City consider anr)exing their community.
One of the policies of the Growth Management Act is that urbanized areas should
incorporate or be annexed to a neighboring city. West Hill is one of the King County's
urbanized areas for which the County is encouraging annexation, as County staff has
recommended incorporation is not a viable option. King County is offering incentives for
cities to annex areas like West Hill.
A task force of about 15 members has been formed to look into annexing. Members
include members of the West Hill Community Council, the local Business Association,
South Lake Community Improvement Committee and some members at large. King
County is also funding a study of the area, and a consultant has been hired to do that
study.
Strengths cited by the annexation committee include two model fire district stations
housing 2 new fire engines, 3 other apparatus, and two aid cars; the Skyway Public
Library which is slated to be expanded with the passage of the recent bonds; water and
sewer districts, and Kubota Park.
The West Hill area, located east of Tukwila's city limits, includes the neighborhoods of.
Skyway, Bryn Mawr, Earlington, Campbell Hill, and Lakeridge. Some of the major
streets in the area include Martin Luther King, Beacon Avenue, Renton Avenue, and
Rainier Avenue. Some areas are more similar to Tukwila International Boulevard before
it was improved, while other areas overlook the lake and are very nice. Houses range
from small, older homes on large lots to larger, expensive homes, most of which are on
sewer. The population of the area is around 14,000. Tax rates are comparable to
Seattle and Renton.
Again, the annexation criteria in the comprehensive plan include the following:
. Logical and historical community identification and affiliation with Tukwila
. Financial and technical ability of the City to provide municipal services
. Logical service areas through vehicular accessibility, public safety response, and
utility construction
. Physical boundaries such as waterways, topography, watersheds, and freeways
West Hill Annexation

. Protection of critical and resource areas significant to a particular jurisdiction,
including opportunities for open space corridors between urban areas
. Logical boundaries, eliminating unincorporated islands
. Presence of special-purpose districts and the condition of the annexation area's
urban services infrastructure
Studies in progress now will present a clearer picture of the area. Both Seattle and
Renton are considering annexing these communities. If the Council is interested in
annexing the area in the future, the City can participate in those studies. Whether we
are interested or not, the annexation task force should be informed of the City's decision
soon.
