1. Maule Ave/Campbell Hill/58th Ave Bid Public Works had combined three small water projects
mto one bId. Though they advertIsed the bid beyond their nonna1 practices, they did not receIve any
bIds for the project. It appears that many bidders have current work that restncts further bondmg
and insurance. Other jurisdictions haye also receIved no bids for some projects, and hIgher than
expected bids for other projects. Public "Vorks wIll try to re-bid the project m the early fall. Delav
bid. \
2. Citv Shops Re-RoofBid Only one bid was submitted to re-roofthe city shops. Both Mrnkler
and George Long shops are in need of new roofs. The one bid that was received was much hIgher
than the recently increased bid estimate Staff will try to re-bId the project in wmter. Recommend
resolution to reject bids to CO\V and Re2ular IVleetin2s.
3. Video Inspection of Private Storm Drains PublIc Works stonn drain crews have found 21
places in Tuhvila where the public stonn drainage system flows mto pIpes under private property.
Because these pipes have not been mamtained for many years some are startmg to fail. The City
wIll need to find whether the systems are private, or whether there are public easements where
homes or apartments now stand. It may be the best legal strategy to work to get these fm1mg
systems repaired, though with the current fee structure the City cannot afford the cost of doing all
the repairs needed. John Howat knows of many of these systems as he crawled through the pipes
when some of them were being built thirty years ago. He and Ryan had some dramatic pictures of
failing pipes taken with the TV inspectIOn cameras. Information.
4. Area 3 of GIS Infrastructure Inventorv The first two phases of GIS inventory of stonn drains,
survey monuments and roads have proved to be very useful to crews. Though John Howat knows
some of the infonnation, it is unwise to rely on a person who may not always be available to the
City. GIS can supply the infonnation for anyone to read. Perteet Engineering did the first two
phases of GIS inventory, and now has been chosen as the contractor for the third phase. Phase ill
will include the Foster neIghborhood south to and including McMicken, with Highway 99 as the
west boundary and 1-5 as the east boundary. Recommend awarding bid for Phase 3 GIS-Based
Inventory to Perteet Engineerin2 for $287,360.
*
5. 2004 Small Drainage Project Program Acceptance Dennis Craig was the company that dId
surface water improvements at seven sites. They finished their work in April, and the work cost less
than budgeted. Less gravel backfill was needed, as native soils were better than antIcipated.
Recommend acceptance of proiect and release of retain age to consent agenda of a Regular
IVIeetin2.

1. Trans-Valley ITS Proiect Interlocal Kmg County has a CIP project to mterconnect traffic
sIgnals between Petrovitsky Road, SE 176th Street, Carr Road, SW 43rd Street and S 180th from SE
15151 to Southcenter Parkway. ThIS corridor mcludes TukwIla, Renton, Kent and unincorporated
County. The County wIll use cameras and fiber optIC technology to time sIgnals for traffic to run
smoothly through the corridor Pam C asked why the County was domg the hming mstead of the
cIties where the traffic signals are. Jim Said because Metro runs across borders and Kmg County got
the camera systems and wIll run them with the help of the cIties they are m. CItIes WIll be responsible
for maintainmg the systems, and wIll own them once the County mspects and accepts the system. In
Tukwila the City Engineer will be the designated liaison. Jim H asked If the County budgets declme
and the County IS unable to run the system whether the mterlocal would be modified. Jim M saId It
would be. ThiS agreement is only for two years. Recommend interlocal for approval to COW and
Regular Meetings.
*
2. Interurban Bridge 'Videning and Trail Bridge Acceptance The project to widen the
Interurban Bridge and build a pedestnan trail bndge nearby was started m 2003 and finished in June,
2004. The project went well, though working wIth State Department of TransportatlOn (DOT) was
complicated because the project used lImited access land. Change orders on the work mcluded bndge
deck work, utIlity resolution, and traffic control labor. The budget was sufficient to cover the work.
Recommend proiect acceptance to consent agenda of a Regular JVleeting.
3. Asphalt Concrete Pavement Issues Jim M mfonned the COmmIttee about three pavement
Issues. The first is the experiment tned wIth Quiet Pavement. Though It is qUIeter than regular
pavement it had a much shorter life span, as \vas evident when the State put It on I-5 near Fife. It
rutted III five years, compared to a 10-15 year hfe cycle for regular pavement. The second is Super
Pavement that will be made mandatory in 2006. Superpave will require custom mix desIgns for every
project wIth special testmg during construction. Superpave will provide longer last pavement.
The third issue raised was that asphalt prices may increase due to the cost of 011, and we can look for
higher costs here m the near term. Information.
4. Other Jim M told the Committee the 42nd Ave bridge would get a more pennanent repair than
the emergency repair done in May. The work will be done m late July through August, leaving one
lane on the bndge open whIle sheet piling is installed on the bank. ThIs work will occur concurrently
wIth the 2005 Overlay Program work on 42nd (S. 1241h to the bndge)
Starfire hosted the Sounders III a large event this past Saturday, and traffic went well.
Pam C noted the Port wants to become a voting member of SKCTBd. JIm M saId that would only be
allowed Ifthe Port removes itself as a voting member of the RPEC (RegIOnal Project Evaluation
Committee) ofPSRC. Pam also said SKTBD is evaluating whether cItIes should pay dues.

Proposed Code Amendments
FROM:
RE:
DATE: July 13,2005
BACKGROUND
On March loth Staff presented a group of 10 Zoning Code amendments to the CAP. The tOpICS
ranged from mmor housekeepmg or clarification to polIcy decIsIOns about allowed uses and
development standards. The Committee chose a preferred optIOn for each tOpIC. Staff then
worked to translate this policy direction mto code language. We decIded that the new sectIOn
dealing with MobilelManufactured Horne Parks needed addItional work so that was pulled out to
be handled separately. The other 9 items were presented to the Planmng CommissIOn at a publIc
hearing on April 28th.
The Planmng Commission endorsed the CAP's recommendations for all items except the new
design standards to apply to all single family houses, includmg manufactured homes. The
Commission did not want to require that all new smgle- famIly houses have an attached garage,
front door that faced the street or a mmimum roof pitch of 5: 12. They dId support a mimmum
roof pitch reqUIrement of 3: 12, with an exception process through the DCD Director for flat
roofs on architecturally designed houses.
The PC recommendation was presented to CAP on May 24th. The CommIttee decIded to
remstate their anginal design standards, however they wanted allow detached garages for alley
accessed lots only. The proposal was then presented to the COWan June 13th. They dIscussed
the single family desIgn standards and set a public heanng for July 18th.
PROPOSED CHANGES
The COW recommendatIons are reflected in the attached strikeout/underline ordinances. The
changes are dIscussed below.
A. Manufactured Homes in Residential Zones
The 2004 State Legislature passed legIslation requmng that manufactured housmg be treated
similarly to other types of housing (stIck bUIlt or modular). This means that Tub-vIla cannot
exclude manufactured housmg from mdivIdual lots m the LDR, MDR and HDR zones as IS our

6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 · Tukwila, Washington 98188 · Phone: 206-431-3670 . Fax; 206-431-3665
current practice. We can however Impose desIgn standards that would apply to all new sIngle
family houses, see TMC 18.50.050 in the draft ordInance at Attachment B. The COW IS
recommendIng the folloWIng design standards
a) A one car or larger attached garage unless the garage is behind the house, In
whIch case the garage could be detached,
b) A front door facIng the front yard setback,
c) Aminimumroofpitchof5:l2.
The ordInance is drafted to exempt housing demonstration projects from the single family design
standards. These projects will be required to go through design reVIew and should have more
flexible development standards to aliow the different housing types.
The reqUIrement that a front door must open on to the front or second front yard would not
necessarily produce a consIstent streetscape as we have typIcally granted some flexibIlIty In
determining which yard is the front when the lot does not touch a publIc right-of-way. It would
also mean that more houses on narrow, non-confonmng lots would be limIted to a single car
garage. Both houses below would meet all ofthe proposed design standards (the house on the
right IS on a comer lot).

See Attachment A for examples of dIfferent roof pitches. LookIng at the past two years of sIngle
family house permits they all had pitches between 5 and 8 in 12, with the maJonty either 5 or 6
In 12. The draft ordInance also includes an exceptIOn process to allow roofs lower than 5:12 as a
Type 2 Special Permission applIcation.
The PC, CAP and COW retained the requirements specIfic to manufactured hOUSIng allowed by
the State:
a) only new manufactured homes may be used outsIde of mobile home parks,
NG
Q"\CODEAwfND\7-18CCDOC
-2-
07112/2005 3.37 PM
b) the manufactured home must be set on a permanent foundatIOn \-vIth the space from
the bottom of the home to the ground enclosed by concrete or an approved concrete
product that can be eIther load bearing or decoratIve,
c) the home must be thermally eqUIvalent to the state energy code, and
d) the home must be at least a "double wide"
SeaTac, Renton, Bunen and Kent all allow manufactured hOUSIng in sIngle famIly residentIal
areas subject only to the state allowed requirements.
B. Residential Short Plats in Commercial Zones
The Zoning Code allows for one single family house per lot in the MUG, 0, RCC, NCC and
TVS zones which are primarily intended for hght commercIal and multi-famIly uses. However,
some of these zones have either no mmimum lot size, or lot SIzes as small as 5,000 square feet
while LDR, our single family zone, has a 6,500 square foot minimum lot SIze. This has created
interest among developers in short plattIng commercmlland for single family residentIal
development. The PC concurred wIth CAP's recommendatIOn to adopt a clanfication that single
famIly houses are only allowed on existing lots, not those created through new short plats.
C. Condominium Conversions
The Zoning Code requires that an apartment building owner obtam an Unclassified Use PermIt
from the CIty Council prior to converting the units to condominiums for individual sale. The
UUP process is time consuming and may discourage the owner of a troubled apartment buIldIng
from considering that alternatIve. State law (RCW 64.34.440) has reqUIrements for tenant
notification, first right of refusal and public offenng statements that disclose any bUIlding,
mechanical or electrical code violations to prospective purchasers.
The PC concurred with the CAP's recommendatIOn to repeal the UUP requirement. Under the
International Housing Code, unlike the Uniform BUIldmg Code, the converSIOn of an apartment
buildmg to condominiums is a change in Occupancy ClassificatIOn Group. ThIs reqUIres an
inspection and corrections to any code violatIOns before issuance of a new CertIficate of
Occupancy. Therefore no additions to the ZonIng Code are required to implement the CAP's
recommendation that the building be mspected and code violations addressed prior to sale.
D. Expiration of Inactive Permits
Currently if an applicant for a land use permit does not resubmit in response to a NotIce of
Incomplete ApplicatIOn withm 90 days the Department can close the permit. However, once the
application is complete there is no mechanism to close an InactIVe permit when the applIcant
does not respond to a request for more Information. The PC concurred wIth CAP's
recommendation to extend the 90 day response reqUIrement to complete permIts.

E. Kennels as Conditional Uses in the TUC
The CIty has been approached by a representatIve from PetsMart about the possibIlIty of addmg
a "pet hotel" for dog and cat boardmg wIthin theIr existmg store Kennels for 4 or more cats or
dogs are a condItIOnal use III the RC, RCM, C/LI, LI, HI and TVS zones but are not permItted at
all m TUC Animal veterinary climcs wIth assocIated temporary mdoor boardmg are allowed
outnght in all zones except 0, LI, HI, MIC/L and MIC/H. The PC concurred with CAP's
recommendation allowmg indoor kennels as a condItional use m the TUC
F. Administrative Planned Residential Developments
When the CIty updated the SubdivIsion Ordmance in 1997 the reference to administratIve PRDs
was inadvertently deleted. It has been DCD's practice that if an applIcant wIth property
contaimng a wetland or watercourse chose to apply for the lot SIze or setback reductions allowed
under the PRD chapter the process would follow the type ofthe underlying permit. The PC
concurred with CAP's recommendation to COdIfy thIs practIce m the PRD chapter for clarity.
There are two expiratIOn deadlines for PRDs, see TMC 1846.120 The first requirement IS that a
complete building permit for the applIcation be submItted wIthin 12 months ofthe date of/City
CouncIl approval. The second requirement IS that once DCD determines that the building permIt
is in conformance with the approval the City Clerk shall record a copy of the PRD with King
County and amend the zoning of the site with a PRD suffix. ConstructIOn of Improvements must
begin wIthin 12 months from the date ofthe City Clerk filing. In practice the CIty has not
recorded the PRD separately wIth Kmg County or modified the site zoning with the suffix. The
PC concurred with CAP's recommendation to change the second deadline to require that
construction begm within 6 months ofbuildmg permIt issuance. If that buildmg permIt expires,
so would the PRD approval.
G. Lot of Record Changes
Tukwila's current definitions oflot and site don't clearly define the CIrcumstances under which a
parcells considered a separate, buildable lot. The City Attorney has reviewed our code language
and suggested changes that will tIe our defimtIOns to the requirements of State law. See
Attachment A for the new language
In addition the City Attorney recommends replacmg TMC 18.70.030 Preexisting Legal Lots of
Record wIth amended language clarifying the development nghts for substandard lots. We
would continue to allow lots that do not meet current SIze reqUIrements to be developed, so long
as they can meet current development, land use and environmental standards. If they could not
meet standards they would have to be consolIdated wIth an adjoining lot or request a variance.
The PC concurred with CAP's support for all of these proposed changes.

H. Housekeeping
There are several outdated or mcorrect TMC cItatIOns at TMC 18 104.010. Staff would lIke to
update, correct or delete these references, see Attachment A for the revIsed tables The PC
concurred wIth CAP's support for all ofthese housekeeping changes.
I. Use Definition
To address a recent concern regardlI~g the applicatIOn of the non-conformmg use chapter, the
CIty Attorney proposes that the defiilltIOn of use be changed, see Attachment A for the new
language. The PC concurred with CAP's support of thIS proposed change.

Subject:
AdoptIOn of proposed ordmance renewing a temporary moratorium on land
divIsions and certain land use decIsIOns m the Longacres TOD planmng area.
Back2round
In September 2002, Council adopted an ordinance establIshmg a sIx-month moratonum on the
acceptance of certain land divisions and land use decisIOns wIthin the transIt-onented
development (TaD) planning area surroundmg the Sounder Commuter Rail/Amtrak statIOn (see
FIgure 1). The moratorium was intended to preserve land aVailable for development or
redevelopment and restnct land uses that do not implement the vIsion for the area until land use
and transportation plans and regulations supporting the TOD at the statIOn are m place.
In April 2005, Ordmance 2085 was adopted, adding an exemption to the moratorium for
residential mIxed-use transit-oriented development (TaD) projects WIthIn one-quarter mile of the
Sounder Commuter Rail/Amtrak Station property.
Ordmance No. 2081 expIres July 19, 2005. Council must decIde whether to renew or revise the
ordinance, or let the moratorium lapse. To date, Council has renewed the moratonum five tImes,
modifying It to provide more flexibIlIty in use of the parcels while the TUC plan was being
developed. However, there is still a need for keepmg the moratonum in place until a plan for the
area is adopted. Renewal of the moratorium should contain the exemptions detailed in
Ordmance 2085, as described above.
On June 28, 2005, CAP authonzed staff to forward the proposed ordmance to CouncIl for a
publIc hearing at their COW meeting on July 11, 2005. There were no publIc comments gIVen at
the heanng, and no written comments were received. Attached is a copy of the proposed
ordmance.
Discussion
The current ordinance:
. Prohibits the filing of all penmts and approvals related to land divisions and such uses or
activities as manufactunng, industrial & auto-oriented busmesses.
. Exempts the filing of and approvals related to the expanSIOn of existing busmesses on
eXIsting lots, SIgn pennits and building permits for tenant Improvements, and the
extension of a current land use permIt.
6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 e Tukwila, Washington 98188 .. Phone: 206-431-3670 · Fax: 206-431-3665
. More uses are perlllztted m the TOD area than affected by the moratonum The
moratonum does not affect the filmg of approvals related to all other uses currently
allowed under TUC zorung, WhICh support and Implement the VISIOn for the area,
mcludmg those that are easIly redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage
yards, or commercial parkmg.
Proposed Next Steps
At the next regular meeting on July 18, 2005, CouncIl has the followmg options
a) Adopt the proposed ordmance. CouncIl renews the Ordinance, with the exemptIOn for
residential mixed use TOD projects as set forth in Ordinance 2085. OtherwIse, ItS
provisions remain the same as the current Ordinance No. 2081. The moratorium remams
m effect for six months, at the end ofwmch CouncIl must hold another publIc hearing
and renew, modify, or allow it to lapse.
b) ModIfy the proposed ordmance. It remains m effect for six months, at the end of which
CouncIl must hold another public heanng and eIther renew, modIfy, or repeal the
moratonum.
c) Take no actIOn. When Ordinance No. 2081 expIres on July 19, 2005, land divIsIOns,
development activItIes and land uses wIll occur m the area as allowed under the CIty'S
zorung. Planrung and ImplementatIOn of the ruc VISIOn and other transportatIOn
improvements may be more difficult.
Conclusions
. There were no public comments given at the July 11, 2005 heanng, and no written comments
were received.
. Staffhas not been made aware of any negative effects from the moratorium on plans to
develop or redevelop properties in the TOD, most likely due to the li1lllted scope ofthe
moratorium. Should a specific project be proposed that falls outside the uses permItted under
the moratonum, Staff wIll consider the appropnateness of the project and bring It forward to
the Council for deliberatIOn.
. Planning CommissIOn and City Council worksessIOns and public hearings on the draft
TukwIla Urban Center Plan will begin this September. Plan adoptIOn is anticIpated m the
fourth quarter of2005. However, there is still a need for keepmg the moratonum in place
untIl that tIme.
Recommendations
There IS stIll a need for keeping the ordinance m place until a land use/transportation framework
is adopted. Adopt the proposed ordmance, with the exemptIOn for residentIal mixed use TOD
projects as set forth m Ordmance 2085, at the Council's next meetmg on July 18, 2005.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, RENEWING A SIX-MONTH MORATORIUM ON
ACCEPTANCE OF APPLICATIONS FOR CERTAIN LA1\lD DIVISIONS
AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AND LAND USES WITHIN THE
AREA DESIGNATED FOR TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
AROUND THE TEMPORARY COMMUTER RAII/ AMTRAK STATION AT
LONGACRES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY.
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 Sounder commuter-rail and Amtrak station
in Tukwila, and includes a mix of retail, service, office and residential uses; and
"VHEREAS, a more intensive pattern of transit-oriented development (TOO) 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 TOO 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 TOO 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 TOO 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 TOO master plan project to be completed
by the end of 2005, some issues need to be addressed immediately in order for the TOO
project to be successfut and
WHEREAS, the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) zoning district allows for a variety of
high-intensity regional uses in the TOO 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 TOO; and
TOO 1\-loratorium LM/kn 71l4/05
Page 1 of4
WHEREAS, the Longacres site is considered one of the region's key opportunities
for TOD, primarily due to the large amount of vacant and re-developable land
surrounding the station, and
WHEREAS, any significant amount of ne,v 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'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 Jor 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
WHEREAS, the moratorium will expire on July 19, 2005 and the TOD planning
process is not yet completed, and
WHEREAS, a public hearing on this proposed ordinance was held on July 11, 2005,
and
WHEREAS, the City desires to provide for an exemption to the moratorium for
residential mixed-use TOD projects within one-quarter mile of the Sounder Commuter
Rail! Amtrak Station property, as amended by Ordinance 2085; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to preserve the status quo for the protection of the
health, safety and welfare of City residents, as it relates to development in Tukwila,
until these matters are more fully considered and, therefore, has determined that an
