Code Amendment - LDR Building Height
FROM:
DATE:
SUBJECT:
ISSUE
Should the City change the way building heights are regulated to limit the bulk of new houses?
BACKGROUND
The Council asked staff to review the way building height was calculated after receiving
complaints about a new house that the neighbors felt was out of scale with the surrounding
development. Currently the LDR zone allows buildings up to 30 feet in height measured
according to the method in the \Vashington State Building Code (IBC 2003) from the average
ground surface to the midpoint of a pitched roof. At their March 15th meeting the CAP reviewed
a diagram showing how various jurisdictions calculated building height and how that affected the
building envelope.
There was some support for following Kent's approach which is a 35' height limit from "the
lowest point within five feet of the foundation." Some codes specify that the point of
measurement must be from "undisturbed ground". The Kent approach would have the effect of
reducing the allowable height of buildings on slopes by a few feet depending on the steepness of
the slope and whether retaining walls were used to alter the surrounding grades but raising the
height of buildings on flat ground ifthe height limit was changed to 35'.
AL TERNA TIVES/DISCDSSION/ANAL YSIS
Building height is only one element of the zoning regulations that control the bulk or building
envelope of a structure. The others are lot coverage, setbacks and in some jurisdictions floor area
ratio (FAR). Simply lowering building height or changing the way it is calculated may not result
in new buildings that are significantly more compatible with existing development patterns. In
the case of the house that sparked this discussion changing the building height measuring point
from average grade plane to lowest elevation within 5' would only have lowered the house by
about 5 feet and not reduced the bulk. Other ideas would be to control the bulk of houses
through aFAR or use tiered setbacks such as those in the multi-family zones.

Lot Coverage
The LDR zone currently limits the lot coverage (footprint) of all of the structures on a site to
roughly 35% (the percentage decreases as the lot size increases) TMC 18.10.057. This
percentage is common among jurisdictions that use this regulation, see table above. However the
building size can be maximized by building that footprint straight up three stories.
2 04/19/2007
Floor Area Ratio
FARis expressed as the total square footage of the building(s) divided by the square footage of
the lot. This links the size of the building to the size of the lot regardless of the number of
stories. Common single family residential F ARs range from .45 to .65 which would limit a
house on a 6,500 sflot to between 2,925 and 4,225 sf. The house that triggered this discussion
was on a 13,500 sflot and had a FAR of.34.

Setbacks
Increasing the side and rear setback distance for the second and third stories of a house would be
another way to reduce the impact of a house on the adjacent properties. The current LDR
setbacks are 20' in the front, 10' on the second front, 5' on the sides and 10' in the rear. Tiered
side and rear setbacks that increased by 5' per story for lots that are at least 50' wide would
modulate the side elevations of the houses and reduce their bulk. The increases could have the
effect of limiting the development potential of smaller or oddly shaped lots and preclude the use
of stock plans by developers. The house that triggered this discussion is set back 5 to 7' from
one side, 8' from the other and 65' in the back.
RECOl\1MENDATION
Tukwila's single family house regulations are similar to those of nearby, similarly situated
communities as seen in the table above. If the Council wished to modify them staff could
develop recommended changes in one or more ofthe following areas:
1) Change the defInition of building height (this would affect development throughout the
City);
2) Reduce the allowed building height in LDR;
3) Reduce the lot coverage standard in LDR;
4) Replace the lot coverage standard with a FAR limitation in LDR;
5) Require tiered side and rear setbacks in LDR.
None of these changes would have made a signifIcant difference in the bulk of the house that was
the source ofthe neighborhood complaint. No action is recommended by staff.

Code Amendment - Sensitive Areas Ordinance
From:
Date:
Subject:
ISSUE
Should the Sensitive Areas Ordinance (SAO) be amended to allow the mitigation ratios
established in the SAG to be waived on a case-by-case basis if the mitigation is carried out
at a wetland mitigation bank approved by other regulatory agencies and it is determined
that the mitigation achieved meets the intent ofthe SAO?
BACKGROUND
Wetland mitigation banking as a tool for off setting unavoidable impacts to wetlands is
increasingly becoming more important, and the City is starting to see proposals for off-site
mitigation at banks. A wetland mitigation bank is the consolidation of small, fragmented
wetland mitigation projects into a large contiguous site where creation, restoration and
enhancement is carried out in advance of the impacts. Banks are established under a
formal and rigorous permitting process.
The City's current ordinance permits off-site mitigation, and even mitigation outside the
city limits of Tukwila, as long as the mitigation site is within the same river basin. The
mitigation ratios established in the SAG apply to both on-site and off-site mitigation. The
SAG does not address transferring mitigation to a mitigation bank, which uses "credits" as
opposed to acreage in determining the amount of mitigation needed. Determining if the
amount of mitigation bank credits meet the City's mitigation ratios is not straightforward.
Mitigation ratios applied to projects that are carrying out wetland mitigation in conjunction
with a development project are typically higher than those ratios in a mitigation bank,
because they factor in the element of risk that the wetland mitigation might fail. In
wetland mitigation banks, however, the theory is that the wetland will already be mitigated
well in advance of any development proposal - thus reducing the risk of mitigation failure
(if the bank fails, credits cannot be released). Wetland mitigation banks typically take into

account the type of mitigation (restoration, creation, rehabilitation, enhancement) as our
code does, but in addition, the credits are also based on the type ( class) of wetland that has
been created, restored, etc.
The City recently processed two land use applications submitted by the Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT) that provide examples of the problem presented
by transferring wetland mitigation to a wetland mitigation bank. WSDOT sought
approval to transfer mitigation for impacts to wetlands along Hwy 518 and 1-405 to the
Springbrook Wetland Mitigation Bank, a mitigation bank area of over 125 acres located in
Renton. The location ofthe highway construction on both Hwy 518 and 1-405 and the
sensitive areas made it difficult to find room to adequately mitigate for wetland impacts in
the remaining right-of-way. In addition, the size of the remaining sensitive areas available
in the right-of-way would limit the effectiveness of any mitigation implemented. Thus off-
site mitigation makes sense in these two cases. WSDOT proposed withdrawal of a certain
number of credits from the bank as the proposed wetland mitigation.
Credits in a mitigation bank are based on the net ecological benefit provided and are
determined on the basis of Department of Ecology mitigation ratios, the kinds of
mitigation carried out at the bank (wetland creation, restoration, and/or enhancement) and
the total acreage for each type of mitigation. The number of credits needed for mitigation
is based on the type (classification) ofthe wetland being impacted. The amount of
mitigation built into the value of a credit does not directly equate to Tukwila's SAO
mitigation ratios, which are based on acreage impacted and do not distinguish between
types of wetlands in applying the mitigation ratios.
This issue will arise again when applications are submitted for the Strander Blvd.
extension, which will disturb Type 1 wetlands. The City of Renton will be requesting
permission to carry out wetland mitigation in the Springbrook Wetland Mitigation Bank.
WSDOT will also likely want to use the bank for future highway construction in Tukwila.
Unless our SAO is amended to permit flexibility in the mitigation ratios, additional
mitigation credits will be required to satisfy the SAO ratio requirements even though the
net ecological benefits at the mitigation bank more than compensate for the wetland
impacts.
DISCUSSIONI ANAL YSISI AL TERNA TIVES
The argument for carrying out the mitigation at a Mitigation Bank is that mitigation is
completed in advance of impacts and generally results in improved hydrologic, water
quality and habitat functions in a consolidated location. Studies of wetland mitigation
banks have shown this to be true as long as the mitigation bank is maintained and
monitored.

approved by the State Department of Ecology, the u.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the
Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Federal
Highway Administration and underwent rigorous review for compliance with both State

RECOMl\1ENDATION
Staff proposes to amend the SAO as identified in the attached draft language to permit
waiving, on a case by case basis, strict compliance with the mitigation ratios established in
TMC 18.45 if off-site mitigation is proposed in a wetland mitigation bank that has been
approved by the Department of Ecology, Corps of Engineers, EPA and other regulatory
agencies and ifit is determined that the mitigation achieved meets the intent of the SAO.
The next step would be to send this change to the Planning Commission for its review and
a recommendation.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SENSITIVE AREAS ORDINANCE
18.45.090 Wetlands Uses, Alterations and Mitigation
A. No use or development may occur in a Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 wetland
or its buffer except as specifically allowed by TMC Chapter 18.45. Any use or
development allowed is subject to review and approval by the Director. Where
required, a mitigation or enhancement plan must be developed and must comply
with the standards of mitigation required in TMC Chapter 18.45.
B. Alterations
1. Alterations to wetlands are discouraged and are limited to the
minimum necessary for project feasibility. Requests for alterations must be
accompanied by a mitigation plan, are subject to Director approval, and may be
approved only if the following findings are made:
a. The alteration will not adversely affect water quality;
b. The alteration will not adversely affect fish, wildlife, or their
habitat;
c. The alteration will not have an adverse effect on drainage and/ or
storm water detention capabilities;
d. The alteration will not lead to unstable earth conditions or create an
erosion hazard or contribute to scouring actions;
e. The alteration will not be materially detrimental to any other
property; and
f. The alteration will not have adverse effects on any other sensitive
areas.
2. Alterations are not permitted to Type 1 wetlands unless specifically
exempted under the provisions of TMC Chapter 18.45.
3. Alterations to Type 2 wetlands are prohibited except where the
location or configuration of the wetland provides practical difficulties that can be
resolved by modifying up to .10 (one-tenth) of an acre of wetland. Mitigation for
any alteration to a Type 2 wetland must be provided at a ratio of 1.5:1 for
creation or restoration and 3:1 for enhancement and must be located contiguous
to the altered wetland.
4. Isolated Type 3 wetlands may be altered or relocated only with the
permission of the Director. A mitigation or enhancement plan must be
developed and must comply with the standards of mitigation required in TMC
Chapter 18.45.

Proposed Amendment to TMC 18.45.090
April 18, 2007
5. Mitigation plans shall be completed for any proposals for dredging,
filling, alterations and relocation of wetland habitat allowed in TMC Chapter
18.45.
6. Isolated wetlands formed on fill material in highly disturbed
environmental conditions and assessed as having low overall wetland functions
may be altered and/ or relocated under TMC Chapter 18.45. These wetlands may
include artificial hydrology or wetlands unintentionally created as the result of
construction activities. The determination that a wetland is isolated is made
through the Type 2 permit process. A mitigation or enhancement plan must be
developed and must comply with the standards of mitigation required in TMC
Chapter 18.45.
C. Mitigation Sequencing. Applicants shall demonstrate that reasonable
efforts have been examined with the intent to avoid and minimize impacts to
wetlands and wetland buffers. When an alteration to a wetland or its required
buffer is proposed, such alteration shall be avoided, minimized or compensated
for in the following order of preference:
1. Avoidance of wetland and wetland buffer impacts, whether by finding
another site or changing the location of the proposed activity on-site;
2. Minimizing wetland and wetland buffer impacts by limiting the
degree of impact on site;
3. Mitigation actions that require compensation by replacing, enhancing,
or substitution shall occur in the following order of preference:
a. restoring wetlands on upland sites that were formerly wetlands;
b. enhancing significantly degraded wetlands;
c. creating wetlands on disturbed upland sites such as those with
vegetative cover consisting primarily of exotic introduced species or noxious
weeds.
D. Mitigation Plans.
1. The mitigation plan shall be developed as part of a sensitive area study
by a specialist approved by the Director. Wetland and/or buffer alteration or
relocation may be allowed only when a mitigation plan clearly demonstrates that
the changes would be an improvement of wetland and buffer quantitative and
qualitative functions. The plan shall follow the performance standards of TMC
Chapter 18.45 and show how water quality, wildlife and fish habitat, and general
wetland quality would be improved.
2. In order to achieve the City's goal of no net loss of wetland functions
and acreage, alteration of wetlands will require the applicant to provide a
restoration or creation plan to compensate for the impacts to the wetland and
will compensate at a ratio of 1.5 to 1.

3. Impacts to wetlands may be mitigated by enhancement of existing
significantly degraded wetlands, however, in order to achieve the City's goal of
no net loss of wetland functions and acreage, mitigation through enhancement
must be compensated at a ratio of 3:1. Applicants proposing to enhance wetlands
must produce a sensitive area study that identifies how enhancement will
increase the functions of the degraded wetland and how this increase will
adequately mitigate for the loss of wetland area and function at the impact site.
An enhancement proposal must also show whether existing wetland functions
will be reduced by the enhancement actions.
4. The DCD Director may determine the number of wetland mitigation
bank credits required to meet the the mitigation ratios established in this Chapter
on a case by case basis through a Type 2 decision if:
a) off-site mitigation is proposed in a Wetland ivIitigation Bank that has
been approved bv the Deparhnent of Ecology, Corps of Engineers,
EP A and other regulatory agencies; and
b) it is determined that the lnitigation achieved through the number of
credits proposed meets the intent of this Chapter.
E. Mitigation Location.
1. On-site mitigation shall be provided, except where the applicant can
demonstrate that:
(a) On-site mitigation is not scientifically feasible due to problems with
hydrology, soils, waves or other factors; or
(b) Mitigation is not practical due to potentially adverse impact from
surrounding land uses; or
(c) Existing functional values created at the site of the proposed
restoration are significantly greater than lost wetland functional values; or
(d) That established regional goals for flood storage, flood conveyance,
habitat or other wetland functions have been established and strongly justify
location of mitigation at another site.
2. Off-site mitigation shall occur within the same watershed where the
wetland loss occurred.
3. Mitigation sites located within the Tukwila city limits are preferred.
However, the Director may approve mitigation sites outside the city upon
finding that:
(a) Adequate measures have been taken to ensure the non-
development and long-term viability of the mitigation site; and
(b) Adequate coordination with the other affected local jurisdiction has
occurred.

4. In selecting mitigation sites, applicants shall pursue siting in the
following order of preference:
(a) Upland sites that were formerly wetlands;
(b) Idled upland sites generally having bare ground or vegetative
cover consisting primarily of exotic introduced species, weeds or emergent
vegetation;
(c) Other disturbed upland;
(d) Existing degraded wetland.
F. Mitigation Standards. The scope and content of a mitigation plan shall be
decided on a case-by-case basis. As the impacts to the sensitive area increase, the
mitigation measures to offset these impacts will increase in number and
complexity. The components of a complete wetlands mitigation plan are as
follows:
1. Baseline information of quantitative data collection or a review and
synthesis of existing data for both the project impact zone and the proposed
mitigation site;
2. Environmental goals and objectives that describe the purposes of the
mitigation measures. This should include a description of site-selection criteria,
identification of target evaluation species and resource functions;
3. Performance standards of the specific criteria for fulfilling
environmental goals, and for beginning remedial action or contingency
measures. They may include water quality standards, species richness and
diversity targets, habitat diversity indices, or other ecological, geological or
hydrological criteria;
4. A detailed construction plan of the written specifications and
descriptions of mitigation techniques. This plan should include the proposed
construction sequence and construction management, and be accompanied by
detailed site diagrams and blueprints that are an integral requirement of any
development proposal;
5. Monitoring and/ or evaluation program that outlines the approach for
assessing a completed project. An outline shall be included that spells out how
the monitoring data will be evaluated by agencies that are tracking the
mitigation project's progress;
6. Contingency plan identifying potential courses of action, and any
corrective measures to be taken when monitoring or evaluation indicates project
performance standards have not been met; and
7. Performance security or other assurance devices as described in TMC
18.45.210.

G. Mitigation Timing. Mitigation projects shall be completed prior to
activities that will permanently disturb wetlands and either prior to or
immediately after activities that will temporarily disturb wetlands. Construction
of mitigation projects shall be timed to reduce impacts to existing wildlife, flora
and water quality, and shall be completed prior to use or occupancy of the
activity or development. The Director may allow activities that permanently
disturb wetlands prior to implementation of the mitigation plan under the
following circumstances:
1. To allow planting or re-vegetation to occur during optimal weather
conditions;
2. To avoid disturbance during critical wildlife periods; or
3. To account for unique site constraints that dictate construction timing
or phasing.
H. Permitted Uses Subject to Exception Approval. Other uses may be
permitted upon receiving a reasonable use exception pursuant to TMC 18.45.180.
A use permitted through a reasonable use exception shall conform to the
procedures of TMC Chapter 18.45 and be consistent with the underlying zoning.

DATE:
April 16, 2007
SUBJECT:
57th Park Extension Acquisition
The 2007 CIP project includes the 57th Mini-Park expansion acquisition in the budgeted
amount of$150,000. Back in March of2004, land owner Todd Hiestuman offered to
donate Vi ofthe land value of two riverfront lots to expand the mini-park. It was directed
by the 2004 City Council to investigate possible grants to obtain the matching funds for
the acquisition. The Parks and Recreation Department was successful with a grant award
of$75,000 from the King County Conservation Futures Grant.
Since there was a sewer project in the CIP manual, Mr. Hiestuman wanted to proceed
with the mini-park sale once the project was complete. The land value back in 2004
(without sewer) was estimated at $150,000.
With the sewer project near completion, the Parks and Recreation Department ordered an
appraisal summary report from Campos Appraisals, Inc. Based on the investigation and
analysis, Campos Appraisal has valued the market opinion at $385,000 land value for the
riverfront lots #7 and #8. The land value has increased significantly since 2004 and with
the increased value of an available sewer system.
Assuming Mr. Hiestuman wants to extend his offer of Vi the land value as a donation to
the city, the CIP budget funding will be $117,500 under funded. It is still the opinion of
the Parks and Recreation Director that this riverfront purchase would be a valuable asset
to the surrounding community and the City of Tukwila. At this time, there is no
identified surplus CIP funding to cover the shortfall.
The Department of Parks and Recreation would like to further discuss this issue at the
next CAP meeting.

Dear Bruce Fletcher,
Per our discussion I have completed the attached appraisal in summary report format of the
above referenced property. The objective of this appraisal is to provide an opinion of the Market
Value of the subject property under two scenarios: As Is individual .lot values and bulk sale
value. These values are estimated as if owned in Fee Simple Estate for financing purposes.
The City of Tukwila is considering purchasing the two proposed residential lots to be used as a
future park. The 2 lots are part of an 8 lot short plat that is near completion. The two lots are
noted as Lot 7 and Lot 8 on the Todd Heistuman preliminary short plat map dated December
2003. They have lot sizes noted on this map of 6,563 and 6,500 sf respectively.
The appraisal is prepared in conformance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice CUSP AP), typical banking appraisal standards, as well as requirements from the
Appraisal Institute.
The property is legally and physically described in the text of the attached report. Legal
description noted elsewhere in this report is from one of the last recorded deeds; it is for the
original entire tract of land that will become this short plat. No title report was reviewed. I have
no personal interest in the subject property. The appraisal report is intended to be an unbiased
document.

The subject two single family building sites have all public utilities available. They are accessed
from S 133rd St. Both of the subject sites have river frontage on the Duwamish River and also
have views of the Foster Golf course. There is currently a 1917 house located approximately
where proposed lot 4 is. This house will be removed as part of constructing the short plat. I
viewed the property on March 14, 2007 which included a walk on site. Todd Heistuman was on
site at the time and I spoke with him about the subject lots and plat.
The following pages provide the necessary items to comply with the USP AP requirements for
this report type. In the addendum there are additional photographs of the subject property and
land comparables, and my qualifications.
