BACKGROUND
FINDINGS
1. The City is initiating a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to amend the Capital
Facilities Element of the City of Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan. The Capital
Facilities Element presents the goals and policies for Tukwila's Capital Facilities
and begins on page 161 of the Comprehensive Plan. Planning under the Growth
Management Act (GMA) differs from traditional capital improvement plans
because it must identify specific facilities, include a realistic financing plan, and
adjust the plan if funding is inadequate or if development requires previously
unanticipated expansion.
The Capital Facilities Element does not currently list "Fire" as one of the
functional areas which may need capital facilities. It does list "Parks" as such an
area. The Capital Facilities Element also does not list levels of service for
existing and for future development for Fire and Parks services.
2. The City Council adopted the new Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan in
June, 2008 by Ordinance 2207; it did not include a specific level of service
standard. Since then, levels of service for Parks have been discussed by Council.
The Parks level of service will be adopted in Fall, 2008.
A new Fire Department Master Plan was submitted to the City in August, 2008
and the review process by City Council has begun; it is anticipated that the Master
Plan will be adopted in November, 2008. The levels of service for Fire were
discussed in conjunction with the Plan. The Fire level of service will be adopted
when the Master Plan is adopted.
3. The Administration is evaluating new sources of revenue for the City. One such
source is "impact fees" through which new development helps to pay for capital
facilities necessitated due to the new growth. Mayor Haggerton's goal is to
analyze options and to adopt impact fees by the end of 2008.
In order to have a discussion of whether or not to adopt Fire and Parks impact
fees, the City must have the following foundation:
A. Adopted Parks and Fire Master Plans with identified levels of
service
B. Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan which
identifies Fire and Parks
C. List of Fire and Parks capital facilities needed solely due to
anticipated new growth and development

Review Process
The Growth Management Act allows impact fees for parks services and for fire
services, in addition to the traffic impact fees the City has already enacted. In
order to consider and adopt impact fees, the City needs to have adopted a Fire
Master Plan and identified a level of service goal for fire services.
DISCUSSION
The City Council has determined that this proposed amendment is considered an
"emergency" under TMC 18.80.020 and necessitates expeditious action in 2008 in order
to allow a discussion about and possible adoption by Council of impact fees for Fire and
Parks by the end of 2008. It meets the criteria for emergency comprehensive plan
amendments:
1. It preserves the health, safety and welfare of the public by adding fire
services and levels of service for fire services and parks services into the
adopted process for determining capital facilities necessary to provide
these services to the community.
2. It supports the economic well -being of the City by meeting the Growth
Management Act and establishing a foundation for future discussions on
revenue to provide fire services and parks services.
The City Council has determined that the proposed amendment has substance and should
be reviewed by the Planning Commission. The Council found the following:
The issue is not already addressed in the Comprehensive Plan There is a public
need for the proposed change; the change will recognize a variety of facilities and
services which need City capital facilities planning and implementation as well as
levels of service for Fire and Parks services. Amending the Comprehensive Plan
is the best way to meet this need and it is consistent with Growth Management
Act and RCW 80.02 (Impact Fees) specifications. Adding the Fire and Parks
levels of service (LOS) will allow the City to evaluate and prioritize new fire and
parks capital facilities needs and expenditures; the community benefits when
future capital facilities needs are identified, prioritized and funding determined
prior to being required.
The Planning Commission will use the following Comprehensive Plan Amendment
criteria identified in the Tukwila Municipal Code:
1. TMC 18.80.010
2. TMC 18.80.050
P \Long Range Projects \Tukwila South Project\Impact fees \Comprehensive Plan Amendment\PC staff report 10-

Staff Report: L08 -049
Page 4 of 9
After reviewing compliance with the criteria, Planning Commission may recommend to
the City Council one of the following actions:
1 Adopt the proposed amendment
2. Adopt a modified version of the proposed amendment, or
3. Reject the amendment
After the Planning Commission forwards a recommendation, the Council will schedule a
public hearing and COW discussion in November. A decision on whether or not to adopt
the proposed amendment would be scheduled for the Regular Meeting in either late
November or early December.
Vicinitv /Site Information
The proposed amendment will apply citywide.
Amendment
The current Capital Facilities Element language in the comprehensive plan does include
"Parks" but does not include "Fire" as one of the functional areas in which general
government facilities (capital facilities) are needed or planned. The Capital Facilities
Element also does not list levels of service for existing and for future development for
Fire and Parks services.
The amendment will provide a substantive base in the Comprehensive Plan for the
inclusion of capital facilities for the Fire Department in the City's CIP (Capital
Improvements Plan). The identification of both the Fire and Parks levels of service
(LOS) will allow the City to evaluate and prioritize new fire and parks capital facilities
'needs and expenditures. The inclusion of "Fire" and the addition of levels of service
provide more specific direction concerning the spending of City funds from the General
Fund.
The Growth Management Act (GMA) allows cities to adopt impact fees for parks, fire,
traffic and schools under RCW 82.02.090(7) if the Capital Facilities Element (CFE) of
the Comprehensive Plan identifies the service(s) for which impact fees might be charged.
The amendment will provide the foundation to allow the City to evaluate whether or not
to adopt impact fees for both Fire and Parks. These are actions which will allow the City
to operate more efficiently and evaluate new and additional sources of revenue.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CRITERIA (TMC 18.80.010)
1. A detailed statement of what is proposed and why
The detailed language of the proposal is identified in the Application
(Attachment A). There are three reasons for this proposal:
P: \Long Range Projects \Tukwila South ProjectUmpact fees\Comprehensive Plan Amendment \PC staff report 10-
30-08.doc
Staff Report: L08 -049
Page 5 of 9
Inclusion of "Fire" provides a substantive base from which to include fire
capital facilities in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); "Parks" is
already listed.
Identifying the levels of service for Fire and Parks provides a foundation
to determine what has been achieved and what will be achieved in the
future.
This amendment is one of the necessary steps which must be
accomplished before the City of Tukwila may evaluate whether or not to
adopt impact fees for Fire and Parks services. The Growth Management
Act (GMA) and the impact fee section of the Revised Code of Washington
(RCW) call for Fire and Parks services to be identified in the adopted
Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan (RCW
36.70A.070(3) and RCW 82.02.050(4)) before impact fees are adopted.
2. A statement of the anticipated impacts of the change, including the geographic
area affected and the issues presented by the change
The amendment will provide a substantive base in the Comprehensive Plan
for the inclusion of capital facilities for the Fire Department in the City's CIP
(Capital Improvements Plan). The amendment will comply with a Growth
Management Act (GMA) requirement and the impact fee section of the
Revised Code of Washington (RCW); it will allow the City to evaluate
whether or not to adopt impact fees for both Fire and Parks (RCW
36.70A.070(3) and RCW 82.02.050(4)). This amendment applies city -wide.
3. An explanation of why the current comprehensive plan or development
regulations are deficient or should not continue in effect; (be specific; cite
policy numbers and code sections that apply!)
The current Capital Facilities Element language in the comprehensive plan
does include "Parks" but does not include "Fire" as an area in which general
government facilities (capital facilities) are planned (see Bullet point #3 under
"Issues: General Government Facilities" in the Capital Facilities Element,
page 162). The current language does not include levels of service for either
Fire or Parks. The inclusion of "Fire" and the addition of levels of service
provide more specific direction concerning the spending of City funds from
the General Fund. They also allow the City's consideration of Fire and Parks
impact fees.
4. A statement of how the proposed amendment complies with and promotes the
goals and specific requirements of the Growth Management Act
The Growth Management Act (GMA) allows cities to adopt impact fees for
parks, fire, traffic and schools under RCW 82.02.090(7). In order to do this,
P• \Long Range Projects \Tukwila South Project \Impact fees \Comprehensive Plan Amendment \PC staff report 10-
30-08.doc
Staff Report: L08 -049
Page 6 of 9
the Capital Facilities Element (CFE) of the Comprehensive Plan must identify
the service(s) for which impact fees might be charged. Currently, "Parks" is
identified in the CFE but "Fire" is not; the amendment will correct this and
meet the GMA.
5. A statement of how the proposed amendment complies with applicable
Countywide Planning Policies
Four Countywide Planning Policies address levels of service, capital facilities
plans and/or parks:
LU -29 All jurisdictions shall develop growth phasing plans consistent
with applicable capital facilities plans to maintain an Urban Area
served with adequate public facilities and services to meet at least
the six year intermediate household and employment target ranges
consistent with LU -67 and LU -68. These growth phasing plans
shall be based on locally adopted definitions. service levels. and
fmancing commitments, consistent with the Growth Management
Act requirements. (rest of policy not reproduced) (emphasis
added)
LU -45 Jurisdictions' comprehensive plans for Urban Centers shall
demonstrate compliance with the Urban Centers criteria. In order
to promote growth within Centers, the Urban Center plan shall
establish growth strategies which:
CC -11
c. Provide a wide range of capital improvement projects, such as
street improvements, schools, parks and open space, public art
and community facilities; (rest of policy not reproduced)
(emphasis added)
All jurisdictions shall work cooperatively to ensure parks and op en
spaces are provided as development and redevelopment occur.
(emphasis added)
CC -13 All jurisdictions shall develop coordinated level -of- service
standards for the provision of parks and open spaces. (emphasis
added)
Regarding LU -29, The City has a 6 year CIP and will adopt "service levels"
(levels of service) for Fire and Parks. It will adopt lists of capital facilities
needed to support anticipated future growth as existing levels of service as
additions to the CIP. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is
consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy.
P \Long Range Projects \Tukwila South Project \Impact fees \Comprchensive Plan Amendment \PC staff report 10-
30-08.doc
Staff Report: L08 -049
Page 7 of 9
Regarding LU -45, the City currently identified needed capital facilities and
improvement projects for Parks. It will identify capital facilities needed as a
result of future growth; these will be added to the CIP and, it is anticipated, be
funded through impact fees. This proposed amendment supports these actions
and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy.
Regarding CC -11, the City adopted a new Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Plan in June, 2008 which addresses facilities needed as development and
redevelopment occur. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is
consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy.
Regarding CC -13, the City is in the process of adopting clear and easily
administered level of service standards for Parks. It is anticipated these
standards will be adopted on September 2, 2008. This proposed amendment
supports these actions and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy.
6. A statement of what changes, if any, would be required in functional plans (ie,
the City's water, sewer, storm water or shoreline plans) if the proposed
amendment is adopted
No changes will be required in the City's functional plans if this amendment
is adopted. It allows the City to fully implement the adopted Parks,
Recreation and Open Space Plan and the to- be- adopted Fire Department
Master Plan (functional plans).
7. A statement of what capital improvements, if any, would be needed to support
the proposed change, and how the proposed change will affect the capital
facilities plan of the City
No capital improvements would be needed to support the proposed change. In
future, the proposed amendment will provide a substantive basis for including
"Fire" capital improvements in the CIP. A list of capital facilities that are
needed to maintain the levels of service and are due solely to future growth
will be added to the City's CIP in the event Fire and Parks impact fees are
adopted. As impact fees become available, projects on these lists will be
constructed or purchased.
8. A statement of what other changes, if any are required in other City codes,
plans or regulations to implement the proposed change
Level of service standards have been adopted for Parks; they will be adopted
for Fire in Fall, 2008. After review and evaluation, if the City Council
decides to move forward on impact fees, an ordinance for Fire and Parks
impact fees will be adopted.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CRITERIA (TMC 18.80.050)
1. Describe how the issue is addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. If the issue
is not adequately addressed, is there a need for the proposed change?
Yes, there is a need for the proposed amendment. The current Capital
Facilities Element language in the comprehensive plan does include "Parks"
but does not include "Fire" as an area in which general government facilities
(capital facilities) are planned (see Bullet point #3 under "Issues: General
Government Facilities" in the Capital Facilities Element, Comprehensive Plan
page 162). The current language does not include levels of service for either
Fire or Parks. The inclusion of "Fire" and the addition of levels of service
provide more specific direction concerning the spending of City funds from
the General Fund. They also allow the City's consideration of Fire and Parks
impact fees.
2. Why is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public
need? What other options are there for meeting the identified public need?
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed amendment is a necessary step which must occur in order for
the City to have a discussion concerning whether or not to adopt impact fees
for "Fire" and "Parks." The Growth Management Act requires that the
Capital Facilities Element identify the services for which impact fees might be
obtained. There are no other ways to accomplish this step.
3. Why will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community? If not,
what type of benefit can be expected and why?
The amendment will provide a substantive base in the Comprehensive Plan
for the inclusion of capital facilities for the Fire Department in the City's CIP
(Capital Improvements Plan). Both the Fire and Parks levels of service (LOS)
will allow the City to evaluate and prioritize new fire and parks capital
facilities needs and expenditures.
The amendment will comply with a Growth Management Act (GMA)
requirement and allow the City to evaluate whether or not to adopt impact fees
for both Fire and Parks. These are both actions which will allow the City to
operate more efficiently and evaluate new and additional sources of revenue.
The community benefits when future capital facilities needs are identified,
prioritized and funding deteu prior to being required.
P: \Long Range Projects \Tukwila South Project \Impact fees \Comprehensive Plan Amendment \PC staff report 10-
30-08.doc
Staff Report: L08 -049
Page 9 of 9
In reviewing Comprehensive Plan criteria, staff concludes that:
1. Comprehensive Plan:
The proposed change is consistent with the GMA requirement that the
Comprehensive Plan Identify all areas of general government for which
capital facilities spending is necessary.
It clearly identifies levels of service for Fire and Parks services.
It adds references to Fire and Parks Master Plans as the basis for capital
facilities prioritization and spending decisions.
2. Impacts:
The City will have the planning documents in place to substantiate capital
facilities spending decisions.
The City will have adopted levels of service for Fire and Parks. The levels of
service will aid decision making around what new capital facilities are needed.
3. Public Need:
The GMA requirement for identified planning documents and links between
the documents and capital facilities decisions will be met.
Clearly stated levels of service identify what is currently being provided and
what needs to be provided for future growth in the City in order to equitably
provide for all citizens.
4. Community Benefit:
Adding the Fire and Parks levels of service (LOS) will allow the City to
evaluate and prioritize new fire and parks capital facilities needs and
expenditures; the community benefits when future capital facilities needs are
identified, prioritized and funding detelinined prior to being required.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval to the City Council of
the proposed amendment to the Capital Facilities Element of the City's Comprehensive
Plan to add "Fire" to the list of uses funded by the General Fund and to add Levels of
Service for Fire and Parks services as proposed.

CAPITAL FACILITIES
PURPOSE
This element of the Comprehensive Plan presents the goals and policies for
Tukwila's Capital Facilities. It is based upon a 6-year Capital Improvement
Plan, subject to annual review and updating to address changing needs and
the long -term goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
Planning under the Growth Management Act differs from traditional capital
improvement plans because it must identify specific facilities, include a
realistic financing plan, and adjust the plan if funding is inadequate or if
development requires previously unanticipated expansion. A key
requirement is concurrency —public facilities must be available when the
impacts of development occur.
The City has prepared a comprehensive list of proposed capital facility
improvements, estimated their cost and identified their potential benefits.
The current information is contained in the Financial Planning Model and
Capital Improvement Program, 2004-2009, and in the Capital Facilities
Element Background Report Supplement, dated 2004, both of which are
adopted by reference as part of this Plan. The City annually reviews and
updates this information and will continue to do so as the implementation of
the Comprehensive Plan proceeds.
The Capital Facilities Element is divided into two categories:
General Government Funds, which are the capital funds for all
general needs, such as residential streets, arterials, buildings, parks
and trails, and other improvements.
[Figure 41)
Enterprise Funds, which are funds whose source and use are
restricted to a respective enterprise and which cannot be used for
another purpose (in Tukwila, water, sewer, surface water, and the
Foster Golf Course). (Figure 42)

ISSUES
General Government Facilities
There appear to be sufficient revenues, combined with developer
participation, grants, local improvement districts, and other miscellaneous
sources, to enable the City to meet its capital goals. The General
Government Funds are composed of the following funds:
The Residential Street Program which includes projects specifically
identified for residential street improvement.
The arterial street program is the Transportation Improvement
Program designed to correct deficiencies in arterial streets.
The program uses City funds, grants, developer funds, local
improvement districts, and mitigation payments. Many of
the projects identified in the Capital Facilities Element will
significantly reduce the current long term deficiency list.
The General Fund includes money for parks, trails, and fisheries
projects.

GOALS AND POLICIES
Goal 14.1
Public facilities that reflect desired levels of quality, address past
deficiencies, and anticipate the needs of growth through
acceptable levels of service, prudent use of fiscal resources, and
realistic timelines.
Policies
These policies are intended to ensure the availability of financing to
accomplish the goals expressed in the various other elements of the
Comprehensive Plan over the next 20 years.
General Government Policies
14.1.1 Ensure that capital facilities are provided within six years of
the occurrence of impacts that degrade standards.
14.1.2 Update the six-year financial planning model annually to
review and reassess growth, revenue, and cost totals and

14. Is there a potential for public safety issues by not adopting the Plan?
Ms. Verner explained the benefit of the Fire Master Plan is to understand the needs of the department to
continue to function and do a better job. Rhonda Berry, City Administrator, commented that putting the
aid car in service for a higher percentage of the time would provide an increase in response time (as it is
faster than the ladder truck).
Chief Olivas indicated that slippage is more likely to occur in the areas of training and fire prevention
than in response times. An increase in calls or an annexation could possibly produce a slippage in
response times. He concurred with Ms. Berry that having the aid car in service would improve response
goals.
Ms. Berry referenced the fourth Whereas clause in the ordinance "The Mayor has reviewed and
responded to the 2008 Fire Master Plan, specifying phased implementation based on available funding."
If we do not adopt the Administration's recommendations, then we have not responded to the Master
Plan as the Whereas clause states. Ms. Verner concurred.
Mayor Haggerton encouraged the Council to view the bigger picture of what the City is working to
accomplish. The master plan is comparable to any operations study in any corporation. It is presented in
detail, and it is up to the Council to provide for implementation as funding is available. Mayor Haggerton
indicated that in past years, Tukwila has not taken advantage of funding mechanisms other than the
maintenance and operations budget. Funding for capital items has come from maintenance and
operations; the City does need other mechanisms to fund capital items. In order to have the discussion
of impact fees, the Fire Master Plan needs to be adopted and in place. If the City were to implement
impact fees, it would be desirable to have them in place to take effect on January 1, 2009.
Councilmember Hernandez reiterated her desire to move this ordinance on for passage, due to the
caveat that implementation will only occur if funding is available.
15. Once the ordinance is passed, is it possible to amend the Fire Master Plan?
Ms. Vemer explained the Council is able to amend the ordinance after acceptance if circumstances have
changed. If the intent is not to implement the plan in its entirety at this time, that would need to be clearly
addressed. Ms. Verner indicated there is time to delay this for a couple of weeks to allow time for budget
discussions.
COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING.
h. Comprehensive Plan Amendment Capital Facilities Element.
Councilmember Hemandez indicated this item was at the Community Affairs and Parks Committee
meeting on September 22, 2008. The committee members were unanimous in recommending approval.
The committee discussed whether the Comprehensive Plan Amendment meets the criteria for an
emergency. It also preserves the health, safety, and welfare of the public by adding fire services and
Levels of Service Standards (LOS) for Fire and Parks into the Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
process. The amendment supports the economic well being of the City by meeting the Growth
Management Act and establishing a foundation for future discussions on revenue to provide fire and
parks services.
COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING.

reference the Fire Master Plan. It is necessary that adoption of the plan occur before the impact fee
ordinance is approved.
Councilmember Quinn asked for confirmation that it is important we assure we are not levying a fee
without a list of projects to which those fees could be applied.
Ms. Verner indicated a list of projects has been compiled, so that if the Council does adopt impact fees,
there will be projects that those fees will cover.
Councilmember Quinn indicated the Council must also make a decision regarding the Mayor's
recommendations. Ms. Verner explained the Council can adopt or amend the recommendations.
Mr. Quinn inquired about waiting to make a decision now, and then possibly having to make a quicker
decision later and how that would affect public input.
Shelley Kerslake, City Attorney, stated the same notice would be sent for public participation in any case.
Ms. Vemer indicated a Public Hearing on the Fire Master Plan was conducted this evening, and no one
has come forth as a party of record with concerns on this issue. The Comprehensive Plan amendment
component is being conducted in public meeting format this evening as well. There will be additional
public hearings at the Planning Commission and City Council meetings on these issues.
Councilmember Quinn requested information regarding the budget implications.
Ms. Verner explained the recommendations in the draft ordinance are the same as those included in the
preliminary budget. There is a caveat that projects are based on funding availability. If the
recommendations in the draft ordinance are adopted, it will be consistent with the budget. If the budget is
amended to add more Fire personnel, then that would be a faster implementation than what is proposed
in the Mayor's recommendations.
Rhonda Berry, City Administrator, explained a dollar amount has been set aside for two personnel to staff
the aid car from General Fund expenditures. Those expenditures will be ongoing with a year -one, 2009
start date. The other years of two through six do not have a date assigned to them. Year -two could
conceivably end up being in the year 2011; we really do not know when year -two through six will be, with
regard to timing, as it is dependent on available funding.
Councilmember Quinn relayed this means there will be additional opportunities over time to discuss
funding availability, and would not constitute a commitment toward funding capital facilities and
employees.

Meeting format.
Councilmember Hernandez indicated this item was discussed at the Community Affairs and Parks
Committee meeting on September 22, 2008, and was offered as an informational item at the Finance and
Safety Committee meeting on September 23, 2008. It was also discussed at the October 13, 2008
Committee of the Whole meeting.
Ms. Hernandez explained this amendment would add text to the Capital Facilities element of the
Comprehensive Plan and identify the Fire Department as a general government facility, which may need
capital facilities funded by the General Fund. It will adopt by reference the 2008 Fire Master Plan and the
2008 Parks, Recreation and Open Space plan. It would also add level of service (LOS) goals for existing
and future development for both parks and fire services. The Council is being asked to decide if this
issue meets the criteria for an emergency amendment and whether to forward it to the Planning

MEMORANDUM
November 4, 2008
TO: Tukwila City Council
FROM: Jack Pace, Tukwila Department of Community Developme
SUBJECT: ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS 907 -2008
This memo summarizes proposed non emergency changes to the Comprehensive Plan
and zoning map for 2007 -2008. A public hearing is scheduled for November 10, 2008 to
receive input. At that time, the City Council will be briefed on the proposal and the
Planning Commission's recommendation. After the public hearing, the City Council will
discuss the issue. On November 17, 2008, the City Council is scheduled to will make its
final decision whether or not to adopt the proposed amendment.
Process to date:
As part of its annual Comprehensive Plan amendment review, the City of Tukwila is
considering one, non emergency Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map amendment in
2007 -2008. The Tukwila City Council reviewed the request at a public meeting on July
14, 2008, and forwarded it to the Planning Commission for review.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on October 30, 2008. After the hearing,
the Planning Commission recommended denial of the request. The Staff Report and draft
minutes are attached. (Attachments 1 2)
At each stage in the process, staff has tried to encourage public involvement. All public
meetings, and hearings were advertised in the paper. Staff provided mailings to owners
and occupants within 500 feet of the proposed map change, and posted the site.
Application Summary:
Reauest Redesignate property from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Medium Densty
at S. 152xx 65 Avenue S.
Applicant: Raymond Carlstedt (Comprehensive Plan File #L07 -097 and Rezone File
#L07 -096)

6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 Tukwila, Washington 98188 Phone: 206 431 -3670 Fax: 206 431 -3665
The applicant seeks to redesignate approximately 1.48 acres in the easternmost portion of
a 5.4 acre site from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Medium Density Residential
(MDR). The vacant, wooded property contains steep slopes, two wetlands and their
buffers. The request affects only the eastern portion of the property adjacent to 65
Avenue South, and excludes areas with wetlands and their buffers.
Recommendation: The staff and Planning Commission recommend denial of the
Comprehensive Plan map change and rezone from LDR to MDR at 152xx 65 Avenue
South based primarily on the lack of compelling need for additional land that is
designated for multi family use. Complete details are found in the attached staff report.
Council Consideration
After its public hearing on November 10, 2008, the City Council will make a final
decision on the proposed amendment at its November 17, 2008 meeting. The City
Council may:
Adopt a proposed amendment;
Adopt a modified version of a proposed amendment; or
Reject the proposed amendment.
Consideration of the site specific amendment is a quasi judicial action. Comprehensive
Plan amendment criteria and Rezone criteria are included in the attached Planning
Commission staff report.
Next steps:
After taking public comments at the hearing on November 10, 2008, the City Council
will discuss the issue, and give staff direction on whether they wish to approve or deny
the request. If the Council wishes to approve the request, staff will prepare an ordinance
with fmdings and conclusions.
At the regular meeting on November 17, 2008, the City Council will take final action on
whether to approve, deny or revise the request.

PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING
Commissioner Parrish made a motion to amend the order of the case numbers on the agenda.
Commissioner Peterson seconded the motion. All were in favor.
Commissioner Parrish swore in those wishing to give testimony.
CASE NUMBER: L07 -097 Woodland View Comprehensive Plan Amendment —Map Change
APPLICANT: Raymond Carlstedt
REQUEST: Amend Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map from Low Density Residential (LDR)
to Medium Density Residential (MDR)
LOCATION: 152XX 65 Avenue South
Rebecca Fox, Senior Planner asked each of the Commissioners three Appearance of Fairness questions.
Commissioner Peterson disclosed that the corner of his property is approximately 115 ft. from the
applicant's property and approximately 500 ft. from the rezone area. He also disclosed an acquaintance
with a property owner who provided testimony to the City Council and lives adjacent to the site. Neither
the applicant nor anyone from the audience had any objections to any of the Commissioners hearing the
case.
Rebecca Fox gave the presentation for staff. She explained the process for amending the Comprehensive
Plan and the Zoning Map. The City Council will hold a public hearing on the case on November 11, 2008.
The Planning Commission and the City Council must consider specific criteria in making decisions regarding
the Comprehensive Plan change and Rezone.
Ms. Fox reviewed elements of the staff report. The applicant seeks to redesignate approximately 1.41
acres in the eastern third of a 5.8 acre site located at 152xx 65 Avenue South from Low Density
Residential (LDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR). The rezone is requested only for the portion
of the property closest to 65 Avenue South, and excludes all wetlands and buffers. The rest of the lot
would remain LDR. Most of the site is in an environmentally sensitive area or buffer, including both
steep slopes and wetlands. Although not part of the rezone consideration, the applicant has offered to
donate to the City of Tukwila the portion of the lot that is not part of the rezone request.

Planning Commission
October 30, 2008
The existing area zoning is a mixture of LDR along with MDR and HDR. LDR runs along the west side
th
of 65 Avenue S., including the subject property, with HDR and MDR to the east. When the current
Comprehensive Plan map and zoning map were developed in 1995, the Planning Commission
recommended rezoning from LDR to MDR the blocks immediately south of the property. The City
Council decided to rezone only the San Juan apai talents immediately south of the property, and retained
the rest of the area as LDR. There was no discussion of rezoning the subject property.
The property could be developed for housing under the current LDR zoning. At present, the. City of
Tukwila has a total of 4, 209 multi family homes and 3,365 single- family homes i.e. 20% more multi-
family addresses than single- family addresses. Additional opportunities for multi family development are
anticipated in the Tukwila Village development, as well as in the Tukwila Urban Center. Given existing
and anticipated opportunities to meet Growth Management requirements for denser housing and to
provide multi family housing choices in areas that have fewer environmental constraints, the
Comprehensive Plan provides no compelling reason to change from LDR to MDR.
Staff recommended denial of the request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential
(LDR) to Multi- Family Residential (MDR).
CASE NUMBER: L07 -096 Woodland View Zoning Code Amendment Map Change
APPLICANT: Raymond Carlstedt
REQUEST: Amend Zoning Map from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Medium Density
Residential (MDR)
LOCATION: 152XX 65 Avenue South
Rebecca Fox gave the presentation for staff. Rebecca reiterated that the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning
Map are required to be consistent. Staff recommended denial of the rezone from Low Density Residental
(LDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR).
A. J. Bradberg, Wetland Biology, for the applicant, testified that upping the density would allow them to
bring in affordable housing. He said that the property offers an opportunity to increase density to be in
alignment with the Growth Management Act mandate. He stated that the rezone made sense environmentally
by concentrating new development near 65 Avenue S.
There was lots of discussion pertaining to environment, including buffers, wetlands and steep slopes, etc.
David Yonguitsu, Geo Technical Engineer, for the applicant, addressed some issues that were raised during
the discussion. Mr. Yonguitsu stated it's a feasible project based off of stability.
Ray Carlstedt, applicant, says he can not do anything with the property ything p p rt5 as its zoned. He stated he has tried
repeatedly to sell the property and that is financially draining him. The applicant stated if the zoning was
changed to MDR he feels he would have a better chance.
Commissioner Parrish asked the applicant if he understood the criteria that the Commission must look at in
making their decision on the project. He also mentioned to the applicant he may have some development
options that have not been fully explored.
Commissioner Ekberg inquired of staff if they had discussed the potential of Planned Residential
Development with the applicant earlier on in the process.

Public Testimony:
StephenWheeler, resident, provided some comments on why he doesn't think the property is buildable. He
stated he would like to see the City place more emphasis on single family residences. He also stated that he is
worried about the value of his home. Mr. Wheeler is opposed to the proposed project.
Debra Tsuruda, resident, says her greatest concern is the traffic impacts. She also requested that check
points be addressed in the future.
Bruce Paquette, resident, said his issue is regarding increased traffic on 65th and prefers keeping the site
LDR.
Bonnie Wong, resident, said she is concerned with the proposal to change the zoning and traffic impacts.
There were no further comments.
The public hearing was closed.
The Planning Commission deliberated.
Commissioner Parrish expressed that he is saddened by the applicant's circumstances. He explained that
the Commission is given a requirement to go by the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan with a
very specific criteria to follow. He denied the proposed project.
Commissioner Malina concurs with staff's conclusion for the proposal. He suggested that the proposal
should go before the City Council for their determination and staff determination regarding Planned
Residential Development (PRD). He denied the proposed project.
Commissioner Peterson concurs with Commissioner Parrish's comments and staff's recommendations. He
denied the proposed project.
Commissioner Ekberg stated that he found the applicant's testimony compelling to support the need.
However, he does not feel the Zoning Code or the Comprehensive Plan will allow the Commission to support
the proposal based on what's before them. He concurs with the other Commissioners to deny the proposed
project. He expressed that a concern that staff does not have a resolution to the question he raised concerning
creating a single land locked property if the western part of the property were to be donated to the City He
also expressed concern that the opportunity was not explored to look at the project as a Planned Residential
Development (PRD) and that it was not brought up with the applicant early in the process.
COMMISSIONER MALINA MADE A MOTION TO DENY CASE NUMBER L07 -097 BASED
ON STAFF'S FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. HE
RECOMMENDED FORWARDING IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR REVIEW.
COMMISSIONER PETERSON SECONDED THE MOTION. ALL WERE IN FAVOR.

Background and Proiect Description
The applicant seeks to redesignate approximately 1.41 acres in the eastern third
of a 5.8 acre site located at 152xx 65 Avenue South from Low Density
Residential (LDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR). (Attachments A
B).The area where MDR is requested extends west from 65 Avenue South to
the eastern edge of the 50' buffer on the eastern wetland. (Attachment C)
The Community Affairs and Parks Committee was briefed on June 9, 2008, and
the issue was forwarded to the City Council. After taking comments at a public
meeting on July 14, 2008,.the City Council deliberated on July 21, 2008, and
forwarded the issue to the Planning Commission for review. (Attachments D, E
F).
Vicinitv /Site Information
Site: The near rectangular property measures about 350 feet x 770 feet, and
extends east to west from 65 Avenue South to 62 Avenue South. The entire
5.8 acre site is undeveloped, and is covered with trees and shrubs. Its terrain
varies from a high elevation of 200 feet at the northeast corner to a low of about
140 feet on the west side. Two wetland areas and their associated buffers are
located in the west and central portions of the site. The rezone area, proposed
for MDR, consists of 1.41 acres; The proposed boundary line between the LDR
and MDR would begin in the approximate center of the eastern wetland and
follow the outside boundary of the buffer area. The applicant has asked to
rezone only the property east of this fine.

Sensitive Areas:
With the exception of a portion of the lot's southeastern edge, almost all of the
site is an environmentally sensitive area or buffer, including both steep slopes,
and wetlands. (Attachment G)
Steep S lopes: The majority of the area that is proposed for MDR zoning lies
within a Class 3 area of potential geologic instability. Per Tukwila Municipal Code
18.45.120, Class 3 areas are those where "landslide potential is high, which
include areas sloping between 15 and 40 percent and which are underlain by
relatively impermeable soils or bedrock, and which also include areas sloping
more than 40 percent."
The applicant's geotechnical report (Attachment H) updates a report that was
prepared in 1989 for the Alpine Estates project. It states that the property is
suitable for development of residential structures, with the exclusion of the
wetland areas and associated buffers. Excavation and some filling will be
required to establish future building pads for future residential structures.
(Geotech Study, p.2).
Wetlands: The entire site includes two wetlands and their buffers. The western
wetland is outside the area that is being considered for rezone, and is not part of
the discussion. (Attachment 1)
A wetland and its buffer are in the eastern portion of the site, and just west of the
proposed rezone area. The applicant's wetland delineation report indicates that
this is a Type 3 wetland that requires 50' buffers. (Attachment J)The City of
Tukwila's Urban Environmentalist finds that the should be considered a Type 2
wetland with an 80' buffer area. Most of the wetland's buffer, whether it is the 50'
buffer area required by the Type 3 wetland, or the 80' buffer that the Type 2
wetland would require, lies in the steep slope area.
MDR is proposed only on 1.4 acres in the eastern part of the property closest to
65th Avenue South, and east of the easternmost wetland and its buffer. This
would leave the rest of the site zone LDR with the wetlands and their buffers
unaffected, and ensure that any future multi family residential development would
occur only on the eastern edge of the property closest to 65 Avenue South. Per
the Sensitive Areas Ordinance (TMC 18.45.080. C), development shall be set
back ten feet from the buffers. Under certain circumstances the Director of the
Community Development Department may waive buffer setback requirements.
The applicant has discussed possible donation to the City of Tukwila of the
remaining property that is not part of the rezone proposal (approximately 4.4
acres). Two separate tracts would be established. The tract to be donated would
retain its LDR zoning, and the other tract would be rezoned to MDR. With or
without the donation, the two wetlands and their buffers could not be developed,

and would remain essentially as -is. Any possible donation is not part of the
Comprehensive Plan map change or rezone deliberation.
Vicinity: A mix of single- family and multi family dwelling units is in the vicinity.
14 single family homes are directly north in the Maple Tree subdivision.
Approximately 12 single family homes are located in the LDR zone to the south.
Additional single family homes are to the northwest of the site. An application is
pending for a 6 -lot short plat along 65 Avenue South, adjacent to the City Hall
parking lot.
Approximately 260 units of apartment and condominium units are east across
65 Avenue South (Maple Leaf, Canyon Estates, Park View) on land that is
zoned Medium Density Residential (MDR). Farther northeast across 65 the
land is zoned High Density Residential (HDR) The 48 unit San Juan apartments
are zoned MDR. Immediately south across S. 153rd, the Cottage Creek
apartments are zoned HDR. The Sunwood Condominiums are in the HDR zone
farther to the west. (Attachment K)
Tukwila Park is one -half block from the site along 65 Avenue South. Tukwila
City Hall is in an Office (0) zone two blocks south of the property.
The property has been the subject of several single family development
proposals in the past. In the late 1980s, the entire site, including both wetlands,
was considered for the Alpine Estates single family subdivision proposal that was
eventually dropped. The current proposal is the first request for multi family
zoning. It differs from earlier single family proposals and projects since it affects
only the eastern area along 65 Avenue South. As stated, wetlands and
associated buffer areas are excluded from the proposal, and would be retained.
DISCUSSION
ZONING MAP -The existing zoning in the area is a mixture of Low Density
Residential zones along with Medium Density Residential (MDR) and High
Density Residential (HDR). A review of the zoning map shows that the LDR
zoning runs along the west side of 65 Avenue South, with MDR and HDR
immediately east across from the site. 65 Avenue South divides the MDR and
HDR to the east, from the LDR to the west. Several blocks of LDR are to the
south of the subject property, but most LDR is north and northwest of the site.
When the current Comprehensive Plan map and zoning map were developed in
1995, the Planning Commission recommended rezoning to MDR the entire block
south of the subject property. This included the San Juan Apartments east along
S. 153 to 65 Avenue South, and south to the City Hall parking lot. This action
would have up -zoned a small neighborhood of approximately 12 single family

097.doc
houses from LDR to MDR. (Attachment L) The City Council, however, decided
to rezone only the San Juan South apartments to MDR, and retain the rest of the
areas as LDR, There was no discussion of rezoning the subject property to MDR
in 1995 or at any point until the present application was filed.
The current applicant wants to rezone only the eastern portion of the property
along 65 Avenue South arterial. Extending the MDR zone west across 65
Avenue South to include the subject property would interrupt a solid line of LDR
to create a small zone of multi family land.
DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS-
Much of the site is encumbered with wetlands, buffers and slopes. Through
careful planning, the site could be developed as Low Density Residential, either
with traditional single family Tots, or perhaps with a Planned Residential
Development (PRD) to take advantage of the environmentally sensitive site
conditions. Under the current LDR zoning, it is likely that the site could be
developed somewhat farther west on the lot than the boundary the applicant
requests. This might permit a greater number of houses to be built. The exact
number of 6, 500 s.g. single- family lots that could be placed on the site depends
on the layout. The maximum would likely be no more than approximately seven
or eight. Under the Planned Residential Development (PRD), houses could be
clustered to minimize environmental impacts, and the lot size could be reduced
by 15
The proposed Medium Density Residential (MDR) zoning allows a maximum of
14.5 units /acre as duplex, triplex or fourplex buildings with a maximum height of
30 feet. The 1.41 acre rezone site could allow approximately 17 or 18 units to be
built if the rezone request is approved. This density is unlikely, given the site's
constraints. The applicant's preliminary site plan shows a total of 12 units in six
duplex buildings i.e. fewer than the maximum that the Zoning Code allows with ,a
single access onto 65 Avenue South. No development is proposed at this time.
(Attachment M)
Under the requested MDR zone, a multi- family development could be designed
to minimize environmental impacts through clustering and careful site planning.
Access to
points onto 65 Avenue South and the resulting loss of parking could
also be limited through careful site layout and design. Multi- family Planned
Residential Development (PRD) is permitted on sites with wetlands or
watercourses. Per the Sensitive Areas Ordinance (TMC 18.45.080. C),
development shall be set back ten feet from the wetland buffers. Under certain
circumstances the Director of the Community Development Department may
waive buffer setback requirements. Per TMC 18.45. 080. G. 1, the DCD director
may reduce standard wetland buffers on a case by case basis, provided the
reduced buffer area does not contain slopes 15% or greater.

097.doc
The applicant's preliminary site plan has been discussed internally by Planning
and Public Works staff, but has not been formally reviewed for specific
development potential, density and configuration. Any future multi family project
Would need to meet all the development requirements of the zoning code. It
would require a separate application, and since it is in environmentally sensitive
land, would trigger design review.
Site conditions make it difficult to accommodate more intensive development.
Given the site's steep slopes and wetlands, both single family or multi family
would require careful planning to ensure adequate access for fire protection and
for private vehicles, utility service, storm drainage, parking, etc. In the vicinity of
the project, 65 Avenue South is heavily used for on- street parking.
Under either the existing LDR or the proposed MDR zoning, additional curb cuts
for site access /driveways onto 65 Avenue South would require review and
approval by the Public Works Department, and could be limited in number.
Access drives would be limited to less than 15% slope, requiring significant
grading and filling.
In both the existing LDR zone, and the requested MDR zone, two parking spaces
would be provided for each dwelling unit that contains up to three bedrooms.
One additional off street parking space shall be required for every two bedrooms
in excess of three bedrooms.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA
Planning Commission review is required for Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
Code amendments. The Planning Commission may recommend approval,
recommend approval with conditions or recommend denial of the amendment
based on a clear compliance with the criteria that follow. The Planning
Commission's recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council, which will
make the final decision.
1) Describe how the issue is addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. If the
issue is not adequately addressed, is there a need for it?
Four broad reaching objectives are the basis for the elements, goals and policies
for Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan's primary objective
is preserving and enhancing Tukwila's neighborhoods. The Comprehensive Plan
states the following:
Comprehensive Plan Objective #1:
"To improve and sustain residential neighborhood quality and livability."
Under Low Density Residential (LDR) zoning and the Medium Density
Residential (MDR) zoning, both single family homes and multi family homes
provide opportunities for individuals and families to live in and contribute to the

community. Neighborhood residential quality and livability can be maintained
with the current LDR zoning. There is no compelling reason that supports the
change to MDR in order to promote "neighborhood quality and livability."
Housing Goal 3.1 states the following:
Continue to provide the City's fair share of regional housing.
Either the current LDR zoning or the requested MDR zoning would allow housing
to be built on the site.
Housing Policy 3.1.1. states the following:
Provide sufficient zoned housing potential to accommodate future single-
and multi family households.
This policy speaks to the need to provide adequate amounts of residentially
zoned land. Both the current Low Density Residential (LDR) zoning and the
requested Medium Density Residential (MDR) zoning would allow housing to be
built in the future. LDR provides for single- family detached homes, and MDR
allows buildings with two, three or four units. With either current LDR zoning or
the requested MDR zoning, some type of housing could be built, consistent with
this Comprehensive Plan policy.
The policy provides no special requirement or justification for changing existing
zoning from LDR to MDR in order to accommodate multi- family development.
Capacity for additional multi family housing will be provided in the Tukwila Urban
Center once the proposed Tukwila Urban Center Plan is adopted, and in the
anticipated Tukwila Village development along Tukwila International Boulevard.
Residential Neighborhoods Policy 7.3.1 demonstrates the community's
commitment to residential neighborhoods as follows:
7.3.1 Maintain a comprehensive land use map that supports the
preservation and enhancement of single family and stable multi family
neighborhoods; eliminates incompatible uses; and clearly establishes
applicable development requirements through recognizable boundaries.
65 Avenue South currently acts as a clear boundary between the stable multi-
family neighborhood to the east and the stable single family area to the north and
south of the subject property. Keeping the current Comprehensive Plan map and
zoning boundaries will maintain stability in the neighborhood.
2) Impacts
The requested map change to MDR could potentially add up to up to 18 housing
units to the site, increasing the overall housing stock in Tukwila. This would bring
multi family units west across 65 Avenue S. At present, Low Density

Residential (LDR) runs continuously along 65 Avenue South from S. 151 to the
City Hall driveway entrance on S. 154
Bbth single- family or multi family development on the site would add some traffic
and noise. Trees would be removed, although some would be replaced. In terms
of total new housing units, the impacts of future single family development on the
existing LDR are likely to be less than the impacts of future multi family housing.
MDR would probably require more impervious surface than LDR, but possibly
fewer curb cuts and access points from 65 Avenue South. Denser MDR
development would be more in keeping with the Growth Management Act's
preference for compact development.
Amending the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Maps to MDR would allow
expansion of multi family use across 65 Avenue South to a block that is
currently exclusively LDR.
3. Is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public
need? What other options are there for meeting the identified public need?
As Tukwila and King County grow, there is public need and a Growth
Management Act requirement for additional housing opportunities and choices.
Demand for new housing could be met either by developing single family
detached homes under the existing Low Density Development (LDR) zoning or
by building duplex, triplex or four -plex homes that the proposed Medium Density
Residential (MDR) zone would allow.
Tukwila presently has 21% more multi family addresses than single- family
addresses. 3, 476 apartment units and 733 condominium units total of 4, 209
multi family units, or 56% of all housing. There are 3,365 single family
addresses, that comprise 44% of all Tukwila housing units.
The Growth Management Act's call for greater housing density can be met by
developing multi family in other locations throughout Tukwila which have fewer
environmental concerns. Future capacity for multi family housing could be
provided through redevelopment in the Tukwila Urban Center, once the TUC
zoning is amended to allow additional residential use. Multi- family development
will also be part of the Tukwila Village project on Tukwila International Boulevard.
4) Will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community? If
not, what result can be expected and why?
The proposed change from LDR to MDR could benefit the greater community
and the region by offering additional housing choice in the neighborhood.
However, since Tukwila already has more multi family homes than single family
homes, and since additional opportunities for multi- family development are

Q: \Comp Plan 2007 2008 \Woodland View L07 -096 L07- 097\PC STAFF RPT—WoodlandView-CarlstedtL07-096L07-
097.doc
anticipated in other parts of the city, it is not clear that reducing the amount of
land available for single family housing would actually benefit the specific Tukwila
community.
A positive side -effect of the rezone could result from the applicant's interest in
possibly donating the western portion of the land that would remain LDR to the
City of Tukwila for trails and open space. This donation, if it occurs, would
benefit the community by ensuring that much of the property would remain
undeveloped. Permanent, publicly -owned open space would be provided, and
the wetlands would be protected. The possible donation should not be part of
the consideration of the rezone request.
It should be noted, however, that even under the existing LDR zoning, wetlands
and buffers cannot be developed under any circumstances. The difference is
that the undeveloped area would remain in private ownership, and would not be
accessible to the public.
CONCLUSIONS
In reviewing Comprehensive Plan criteria, staff concludes that:
1) Is the issue addressed in the Comprehensive Plan? Is it needed?
Comprehensive Plan objectives, goals and policies that acknowledge the
need for Tukwila to retain residential neighborhoods, to provide regional
need for housing, to retain adequate land zoned "residential and to
provide housing in a stable neighborhood are addressed under the current
Low Density Residential zoning.
The Comprehensive Plan does not preclude MDR. The policies discussed
above refer both to the existing LDR and the proposed MDR, but the
Plan's policies offer no compelling justification to change the zoning from
LDR to MDR.
2) Impacts?
The property's development potential for single family or multi family
residential use will be limited by site considerations including:
Steep slopes
Wetlands
Potential geological instability
Future development plans would undergo environmental, design review
and building permit review.

The requested map change to MDR could potentially add up to up to 17 or
18 housing units to the site, and increase the overall housing stock in
Tukwila. This would bring multi family units west across 65 Avenue S.
At present, Low Density Residential (LDR) runs continuously along 65
Avenue South from S. 151 to the City Hall driveway entrance on S. 154
3) Meeting identified public need? Other options?
At present, there are 21 more multi- family units than single family units
in Tukwila.
Other opportunities for multi family housing currently exist, with more
opportunities anticipated when the Tukwila Urban Center Plan is adopted
and Tukwila Village is developed on Tukwila International Boulevard.
With the current preponderance of multi- family homes to single family
homes in Tukwila, it is difficult to justify reducing the amount of Low
Density Residential land in order to provide additional capacity for multi-
family development.
4) Benefit to the community?
The applicant's possible donation of the western 4.4 acres of the site
would benefit the public by retaining the greatest possible amount of
undeveloped open space on the site, and making this available for public
use.
However, under the existing LDR zoning, much of the property is likely to
remain undeveloped due to wetlands and buffers, whether or not a
donation occurs.
It is not clear that reducing the amount of land available for single family
housing would benefit the community since Tukwila already has more
multi family homes than single family homes, and additional opportunities
for multi family development are anticipated in other parts of the city.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denying the request for Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map
P
changes from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Multi Family Residential (MDR).
FILE #L07 -096 ZONING MAP AMENDMENT /REZONE
REZONE CRITERIA:
1. The proposed amendment to the zoning map is consistent with the
goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan
Rf 10 10/16/2008
Q: \Comp Plan 2007- 2008\Woodland View L07 -096 L07- 097\PC STAFF RPT—WoodlandView-CarlstedtL07- 096L07-
097.doc
Per the discussion of Comprehensive Plan Criteria (above), both the existing
LDR zoning and the proposed MDR zoning are consistent with the
gomprehensive Plan, as follows:
Plan Objective #1 —To improve and sustain residential
neighborhood quality and livability
Goal 3.1 Continue to provide the City's fair share of regional
housing
Policy 3.1.1 Provide sufficient zoned housing potential to
accommodate future single- and multi family households.
Policy 7.6.3 Allow Planned Residential Developments (PRDs) for
multi- and single family use on properties with wetlands or
watercourses, or within the Tukwila South Master Plan Area in
conjunction with the City Council's approval of a master plan.
2. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with the
scope and purpose of this title and the description and purpose of
the zone classification applied for.
Per TMC 18.10.010 Purpose, the existing Low Density Residential (LDR) district
is "intended to provide low density family residential areas together with a
range of urban infrastructure services in order to maintain stable residential
neighborhoods, and to prevent intrusions by incompatible land uses."
Single family homes are currently allowed.
Per TMC 18.12.010 Purpose, the proposed Medium Density Residential (MDR)
district is "intended to provide areas for family and group residential uses, and
serves as an alternative to lower density family residential housing, and more
intensively developed group residential housing and related uses..."
The proposed rezone from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Medium Density
Residential (MDR) would allow duplex, triplex or fourplex housing to be built.
3. There are changed conditions since the previous zoning became
effective to warrant the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map
In 1995, the land immediately south of the site was zoned Medium Density
Residential (MDR), in order to recognize the existing San Juan South
apartments. Conditions have not changed significantly since that time to warrant
the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map.
4. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map will be in the interest of
furtherance of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and
Rf 11 10/16/2008

097.doc
general welfare, and will not adversely affect the surrounding
neighborhoods, nor be injurious to other properties in the vicinity in
which the subject property is located
In a broad sense, allowing additional multi family housing to be built could benefit
the region and the community by providing additional housing choices. However,
more specific to the site, any housing that is built either single family or multi-
family-- would need to be planned carefully to accommodate environmental
conditions, as well as to limit the number of curb cuts onto 65 Avenue South.
Zoning should strike a balance between single family and multi- family and use
and zoning without jeopardizing current development of single family homes.
The rezone would allow higher density housing to be built. This future
development would be consistent with multi family development east across 65
Avenue South, as well as development to the south. It would, however, be
inconsistent with the other single- family development to the immediate north and
south of the property.
A specific traffic study has not been prepared. However, rezoning the property to
MDR would result in denser development and somewhat greater traffic impacts
than development under the existing LDR zoning.
Subsequent site development applications for SEPA and Design Review would
address specific impacts such as traffic, parking, environmentally sensitive areas
and impacts on abutting property. Environmental review, design review with a
Board of Architectural Review hearing and public involvement would provide
Tukwila a clear mechanism to evaluate any future proposed development, and to
mitigate potential negative impacts to the adjacent properties and the community.
ZONING MAP AMENDMENT CONCLUSIONS
1) Consistency with Comprehensive Plan:
The current Low Density Residential (LDR) zoning is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan policies to that support housing.
The proposed Medium Density Residential (MDR) zoning, although
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies to that support
housing generally, is not needed to meet projected housing demands.
2) Consistency with Zone:
Single family homes can be built under the current Low Density
Residential (LDR) zoning.
If added density is desired at the site, the proposed Medium Density
Residential (MDR) would allow a range of smaller -scale multi family
structures, including duplex, triplex or fourplex structures, to be built.
3) Chanced conditions:

097.doc
Conditions have not changed to justify the rezone.
4) Community interest:
e Single- family housing can be built under the existing zoning. There is
no compelling benefit to the rezone.
The rezone and resulting development would bring multi family across
65 Avenue South into a small, existing single family neighborhood.
ZONING RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the rezone from Low Density Residential (LDR) to
Medium Density Residential (MDR).

RE: Estate of Al White Property
65 Street, City of Tukwila
Dear Ray:
The above referenced site was evaluated for wetlands., The site contains
what appears to be two wetlands. A western Category 2 wetland that will
be far from any development and the eastern Category 3 wetland. The
eastern wetland determines the extent of development.
The eastern edge of the east wetlands was flagged and surveyed. The
wetland has been previously determined to be a Category 3 wetland with a
standard 50 foot buffer. This letter serves as a preliminary report to assist
the estate in marketing the property. A final report with all the necessary
information will be provided when needed.
The east edge of the eastern Category 3 wetland will have a 50 foot buffer,
The land between the edge of the buffer and the street is developable with
regards to wetlands. Buffer averaging my be used for a final lot layout.
If you have any questions please feel free to call me.
Sincerely „i

SPECIAL ISSUES
a. Interlocal agreement regarding the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home
I estment Partnerships (HOME) programs.
Coun. ]member Hernandez indicated this item was discussed at the Comm. Affairs and Parks
Commi -e on June 23, 2008. The committee members were unanimou,7 recommending approval.
Staff is s king approval to enter into an interlocal agreement with Kin•` ounty, which would extend
through the 009, 2010 and 2011 program years. In order to comp- for CDBG funds, the City must
enter into this •rmalized agreement with King County.
At the request of •uncilmember Linder, Evelyn Boykan, Hu -n Services Manager, explained the CDBG
funds are from Hou g Urban Development and allow City to assist low- income and up to
moderate income rest' -nts. The HOME funds are fed funds used to preserve and develop
permanent housing for I.= income people. The City -r inor Home Repair program is dependent on our
participation in this conso m. The agreement al 0‘ s Tukwila to compete for funds.and operate our
programs, and to make reco''mendations for ou-s ommunity, our sub- region and region as far as capital
projects and public service pro'z cts. Ms. Boyle also clarified the agreement was recently approved by
King County Council so it is no to +er a dra
Councilmember Robertson questione.em IV.A.3, which mentions four cities that are not signing this
agreement. Ms. Boykan explained $fne \-'ties are large enough to deal directly with HUD and, therefore,
do not participate in the consort' f. Some jects, however, use HOME only funds, and in those cases
those cities would have an app. unity to vote il,those projects (but not on a project that takes place in a
city that belongs to the cons,! um). Depending o- -the type of funding and type of project, some
members of the Joint Re J mendations Committee. RC) can vote and sometimes they do not vote. A
"joint city" means a city's large enough to be their own':., titlement with HUD but they choose not to, and
thereby they still hav,.--.:n arrangement with the County as'-•art of the consortium. Federal Way and
Renton are cons' ed joint cities.

c. 2008 Comprehensive Plan Amendments (to be conducted in a Public Meeting format).
Councilmember Hernandez indicated this item was discussed at the Community Affairs and Parks
Committee on June 9, 2008. The committee members were unanimous in recommending approval to
forward this item for discussion and public input.
Council President Duffle called for comments from the audience.
Rebecca Fox, Senior Planner, explained no action is needed tonight. She referenced the chart on page
92 of the agenda packet that outlines the various steps in the review process. The threshold decision to
be made at the next Regular Meeting would be whether or not to forward the item to the Planning
Commission for additional review.
This year's Comprehensive Plan amendment is site specific and, therefore, is a quasi judicial decision.
Any proposal that would go to the Planning Commission would then have environmental review. The
Planning Commission would hold a hearing and take public comment, and then make a recommendation
to the City Council_
The applicant would like to redesignate approximately 1.41 acres of a 5 -acre site from low density
residential to multi family residential (at approximately S. 152nd Street and 65th Avenue S.). There is a
mixture of single family and multi family homes in the vicinity. There are 14 single- family homes to the
Attachment D
City of Tukwila Page 5 of 10
Cily Council Committee of the Whole Minuit?s .July 14.2008
north in the Maple Tree subdivision. There are approximately 260 units of multi family apartments and
condominiums to the east. To the south are single family homes, the San Juan South apartments, City
Hall, Tukwila Park, and, to the west, Sunwood Condominiums. The entire site is wooded, with two
wetlands with buffers on the east and west. There is 15 to 40 percent slope on much of the land,
especially on the eastern two- thirds. The request for rezone is only on the eastern one- third. A wetland
delineation study and geotechnical study were prepared. Any future development would require a more
thorough wetland study. Ms. Fox noted that Attachment 6 (page 105 of the agenda packet) is a
preliminary site plan provided by the applicant. There are proposed park trails on the western portion that
the applicant has proposed to donate to the City; however, she stressed this portion is not part of the
rezone. She also noted the preliminary plan shows some off -site parking. She explained any
development that would occur would require parking on site. She reiterated the attachment is a
preliminary proposal provided by the applicant that has not been formally reviewed by staff and would not
necessarily be the type of development that would occur.
Under low density residential, this 1.4 -acre parcel could have a maximum of 6.7 units per acre. On this
site you could have a maximum of 9 lots under current zoning. Under the rezone proposal, you could
have 14 -1/2 units per acre, so this site could potentially have a maximum of 20 units per acre. The
maximum height under both zoning provisions is 30 feet. The site is constrained by slope and the
wetland buffer. A planned residential development is a way to allow greater flexibility to allow additional
open space and retain vegetation on the site.
In response to a request from Councilmember Linder, Ms. Fox reviewed the specific questions to be used
by Council in considering the proposed amendment Ms. Fox referenced the discussion criteria on pages
89 and 90 of the agenda packet, which includes four specific questions and related goals and policies.
Is the issue already adequately addressed in the Comprehensive Plan?
Is there a public need for the proposed change?
Is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public need?
Will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community?
Councilmember Robertson asked for clarification on zoning around the site, which was confirmed as
follows:
Zoning to the north is all LDR.
Zoning to the west is half LDR and half HDR.
Zoning to the south is entirely LDR, but includes some apartment buildings (San Juan South).
Zoning to the east is entirely MDR.
Ms. Fox stated three letters have already been received from the public, which are included in the agenda
packet.
Councilmember Hernandez disclosed she lives within close proximity to the property, and stated she feels
she can be impartial and would like to sit on the Council for the issue unless there are objections.
Council President Duffle again called for public comment
Annette Gray repeated her earlier question (asked under "Citizen Comments Ms. Fox stated the trees
are in the buffer zone and —per Attachment 6 in the agenda packet —the buffer zone is not part of the
rezone. The buffer zone for the wetland identified as Class 3 on the east side has a 50 -foot buffer. On
the west side is a Class 2 wetland with an 80 -foot buffer.
Hugh Tobin, 15165 62nd Ave. S., Tukwila, stated there is an LDR subdivision immediately to the west of
the subject site. He stated the proposal calls for moving the zoning boundary on one small portion of the
lot from where it is now at 65th Ave. S., which is the eastern boundary of the site and the boundary
between the LDR and MDR, to the border of a wetland. He feels it is an unusual concept to "up zone" the
property immediately adjacent to a sensitive area to a zoning classification that is higher than what is
immediately north and south of it and not divide it from the site by a road or other boundary.

City Council Committee of the Whole Minutes lulu 14.2008
Deb Sorenson, 6221 S. 151st PI., Tukwila (which is Tract 5 on the map), stated 65th is already a very
busy street, and wonders why both sides of the street are always lined with cars if on -site parking is
required. She also noted the area to the north and south of the proposed tract is single family homes.
She is also concerned about the "protection" provided by the wetland buffer, as her property actually
contains wetland.
Rick Roberts, 10305 Canyon Rd., Puyallup, stated the property owner is his client. He stated three
quarters of the property is proposed to be given to the City as open space. The development would be
on the east side of the tract and would be developed as duplexes. The development would not bother the
wetlands or single family lots to the north. He stated many of the apartments on the east and south sides
are older buildings and do not have much storm drainage. This development will have proper storm
drainage because of new rules in effect. Water from houses and roads will be treated and not dumped
into the wetlands.
A. J. Bredberg, 3303 43rd St, Gig Harbor, stated he is the wetland scientist that did the preliminary work
on the wetlands. The property owners for half the site are represented by an attorney (for an estate), and
Mr. Ray Halstead and his son own the other half. Wetlands and buffer encumber the majority of the
property. There is developable land and there are options of working with a PRD (planned residential
development), which would result in a large number of houses. Changing the zoning of the eastern
portion would result in a better use. Because the property is on an arterial, the Growth Management Act
encourages directing housing density into the urban areas. He stated this project would only impact two
or three single family lots, and the majority of the trees would be left as is. If a traditional single- family
residential development were constructed here, there could be provisions for reasonable use exceptions,
which may not provide as much preservation of open space as the current proposal.
Ms. Fox clarified staff does not take a position on this project. Staff has prepared information for
Council's review, and worked with the applicant and the consultant to that end.
Andrea Sipe, 14961 62nd Ave. S., Tukwila, stated her parents built her current home over 50 years ago.
She is against making changes to the zoning. She feels adding more rental properties would be a
detriment, but acknowledged she might feel differently about a development where the residents would
be the owners of the property.
COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING.
d. Draft Walk and Roll Plan.
Councilmember Linder indicated this item was discussed at the Transportation Committee on
May 28, 2008 and June 10, 2008. The committee members were unanimous in recommending approval.
Ms. Linder complimented staff on gathering input from many sources and guiding the committee
members through the process.
Jaimie Reavis, Assistant Planner, explained Walk and Roll is a Citywide bicycle and pedestrian plan.
She stated no formal action is required this evening, and a Public Hearing has been scheduled for
July 21, 2008. The draft plan has been reviewed by the Transportation Committee, which provided a
list of recommendations for changes (items 1 -4 on page 111 of the agenda packet). The draft was
also presented to the Community Affairs and Parks Committee for information, and an intensive public
outreach effort and public input went into the draft plan. Comments from the public and Council will be
gathered through the end of the Public Hearing next week. A final version will be presented to the
Transportation Committee, including a response to the comments and an ordinance for adoption.
Among the major policy items to be addressed are whether to adopt a complete street resolution or
ordinance. Such an ordinance /resolution would state the City would consider all users of the roadways
(including non motorized users) and provide for each of the users in the roadway when street
improvements are made. Another policy item is prioritization, meaning which projects to build first. As
items are added to the GIP, the plan could provide criteria for prioritizing those projects.

Re ?Zoning change requested at 152xx -65 Avenue So.
Dear Sirs:
As homeowners in Maple Tree Park (lot #10) for 12 years, we do not want to see two
story duplexes built 20 feet from our backyard. We, as well as the homeowners of lots
#5 -9, bought our homes because of the greenbelt backing the property. All of the Maple
Tree Park homes (valued at $500K or more) would prefer only single- family homes b�
in our neighborhood, or at least on our block. We have more than enough rentals on the
east side of 65 Avenue South from which we can hear so many parking lot
arguments, car alarms, loud sports fans yelling at their tv's, etc.
We therefore strongly urge you to keep Parcel #3597000360 zoned as Low Density
Residential.

To whom it may concern,
Hello. I am writing to voice my opposition to the development proposed at the east end of the
property located at 152XX 65th Avenue South (Parcel #3597000360). That area along 65th
Avenue South is already one of the least attractive areas of Tukwila east of I -5, occupied on the
east side of the road by somewhat run -down apartment buildings. Additionally, and perhaps
more pertinent, is the fact that 65th Avenue South is lined by parked cars (some that appear
abandoned), presumably overflow from the people that live in the apartments. Adding more
people and more cars to the area would likely make the situation worse. Currently, the only
saving grace for that area is Tukwila Park on the east side of the street and the trees on the west
side, where this development is planned.
Whatever is done, please ensure that the area is improved, rather than making a bad situation
worse.
Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: Zoning, Parcel 3597000360
I want to express my objection to the change in zoning of the subject parcel from LDR to
MDR
This change is likely for the purpose of constructing condominiums or apartments in an
area where there is already an overabundance (east of 65th Ave S and on 62nd Ave S,
including Sunwood blvd).
The zoning classification MDR is not consistent with the housing west of 65th Ave S and
adjacent to S 151st and S 153rd Streets. The housing there is mostly separate, single
family residences with medium to large sized lots. I believe this area should be maintained
and set aside for separate, single family residences, and not the higher density residences
allowed with MDR zoning.
Sincerely,

He has note• --d a reduction in the signage he previously observed on the trails. He relayed the
importance o dequate and clear signage. People need to know where they are allowed to go, and
attention needs be drawn to the trails, so citizens know they are available.

Debra Tsuruda, 6220 South 153rd Street, spoke in opposition to the proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendment. Ms. Tsuruda submitted a letter to the Department of Community Development regarding
this issue that was distributed to the City Council. The letter states:

"As long time tenants of the San Juan Apartments (25 years) we do not want to see two story duplexes in
the back of our property. We have enjoyed the green belt backing to the west side of the San Juan's for
many daytime walks. However, even that area has drawn police activity through the years. My
understanding is that there will be trails throughout the proposed property in this zone -which will
encourage even more illicit activity. The traffic on this hill has already become challenging because of the
high density to the east of 65th, to the north of 51st, and to our immediate west. Nothing has been
addressed concerning road changes or traffic. We already have cars speeding through 153rd, to which I
will be addressing the City Council shortly regarding speed bumps along this street. We would prefer
only single family homes built, as there are plenty of rentals already available on the hill. We therefore
strongly urge you to keep Parcel #3597000360 zoned as Low Density Residential."
Ms. Tsuruda commented that, in her view, the zoning designation map has mistakes in it based on her
comparisons through the use of Google. She urged the Council to be good guardians of the community.
Ray Carlstedt, 3921 SW 102nd Street, Seattle, is the half owner of the property that is the subject of this
rezone request. The property had belonged to his mother -in -law, and they have been trying to sell it for
the past 25 years. Mr. Carlstedt indicated he is not a developer, but a 40- hour -a -week machinist, and has
been unable to sell the property with the current LDR zoning designation. The taxes on the property are
prohibitive for him to continue paying. He relayed that the property is park -like, with trees, and he is
willing to donate the other 4.4 acres to the City for a park.
Rebecca Fox, Senior Planner, explained the Council is not being asked to approve the Comprehensive
Plan amendment and rezone request this evening. The motion would refer this issue to the Planning
Commission for their review and recommendation. If the Council chooses to refer this matter to the
Planning Commission, they will then conduct a public hearing, which will be noticed in the newspaper.
Property owners and residents within 500 feet of the subject property will also be notified. The item will
then come back to the City Council for a public hearing, which will be similarly noticed. After this
evening's Council meeting, if this item goes forward to the Planning Commission, there will be additional
opportunities for public comment.
The majority of the. Councilmembers expressed support regarding the importance of review and a
subsequent recommendation by the Planning Commission on this issue. It was conveyed that the
Planning Commission has the most experience regarding land use matters in the City. Due diligence in
making an informed decision involves a broad scope of information and a full perspective, best afforded
by a recommendation from the Planning Commission.
Councilmember Robertson, speaking against the motion, offered the following comments.
1. On page 95 of the July 14, 2008 agenda packet, the applicant gives the reason for changing the
zoning (from single family to medium density) as "conform to the surrounding zoning." A review of the
zoning in the area indicates that the surrounding zoning is "single family," making the information
provided by the applicant incorrect.
2. The applicant could choose to develop the front part of the property as single family if the
applicant chose to sell at single family prices. The area in the back of the property is not able to be
developed, regardless of the zoning designation, since it is a wetland.
3. To send this to the Planning Commission only makes sense if they can answer other questions
that are required, and in Mr. Robertson's view, those do not exist. Additionally, all comments from the
public, and in writing on this issue, have been in opposition to the proposal. To send this to the Planning
Commission equates to postponing the decision and also increases their workload at a very busy time.

Re: Geotechnical Feasibility Report
Proposed Residential Development
to AlfiftemEntaties on 65th Avenue South
Tukwila, Washington
Dear Mr. Carlstedt,
This report presents the results of geotechnical evaluation of the property located on the
west side of 65th Avenue South in Tukwila. The property is situated on a moderately
steep slope above the west side of the Parkway and is directly above an existing
residence on Lot B. A previous site investigation was performed for the entire parcel in
1989 by GeoEngineers, and it is understood that only the easterly portion of this
property will be developed for towrihome or apartment use.
The purpose of this report is to update the original engineer's report, and to provide
recommendations for site development. Site development plans have not been prepared
for the easterly portion of this site that will be created for multi- residential use.
Available USGS geologic mapping along with the prior test pit date was used as
references for this study.
Site Conditions
The near- rectangular property measures about 350x770 feet extending from 65th
Avenue to 62nd Avenue. Natural undeveloped terrain varies from a high elevation of
200 feet at the northeast corner to a low of about 140 feet on the west side. Two wetland
areas are located on the west and south central portions of the property. A moderate
growth of trees and shrubs cover this site.
Subsurface soil conditions were determined by excavating six test pits on the east
section of this property. Except for the wetland area in the south central portion of the
site, all test pits encountered weathered dense bedrock. This bedrock consists of
sandstone and conglomerate that is typical to this area of Tukwila. Approximately one
foot of organic topsoil covers the property, except around the edge of the wetland where
thicker deposits of topsoil and loose organic soils have been deposited at the water's
edge. No groundwater was encountered in the five test pits away from the wetland that
were dug at elevations above 150 feet. Summary logs of the test pits are attached.

Seismic Hazards
Earthquakes occur in the Puget Sound area with great regularity. The majority of these
earthquakes are small and usually not noticeable. Large earthquakes do occur as
evidenced by the 1949 (M7.2) Olympia event, the 1965 (M6.5) Tacoma event, and the
2001 (M6.8) Nisqually event. Normally the epicenter of these larger earthquakes is
relatively deep below the ground surface.
Generally there are four types of potential geologic hazards associated with large seismic
events: 1) ground rupture, 2) landslides, 3) liquefaction, and 4) ground motion. The
nearest known fault system is the Seattle fault zone located about five miles to the north.
USGS continues to study this and other fault systems in the Puget Sound region, and it
has been determined that they are capable of generating large earthquakes. Return
periods for large earthquakes vary from 500 to more than 1000 years. The long
recurrence intervals for nearby fault systems usually results in a low potential for
ground rupture over the life of the proposed residential structures.
Based on the subsurface soil conditions existing on this property, the potential for
liquefaction is considered low outside of the wetland area. The medium dense sands
and the dense bedrock on this site will provide adequate protection against lateral slope
displacements during a seismic event. In accordance with the 2003 IBC Table
1615.1.1, the subject site is defined as Class C.
Geotechnical Conclusions
On the basis of the previous subsurface exploration and our recent geotechnical
evaluation, this property is suitable for development of residential structures. A buffer
setback of 5o feet from the mapped wetland area will be required, but the remainder of
the site can be successfully developed for residential building pads.
Site Excavation
Excavation and some filling will be required to establish future building pads for the
proposed residential structures. All of the excavated soils are suitable for reuse as
compacted structural fill, or for backfill around the structure foundation walls and
retaining walls. Some difficulty will be experienced in excavating the dense bedrock
depending on the depth of the cuts required. Large rock in excess of 6 to 8 inches in
diameter should not be used in any structural fills within the building pad areas.
Temporary slope cuts should be made no steeper that 1H:ZV where they expose the
upper sand and gravel soils. Near vertical cuts in the weathered bedrock will stand
without caving or sloughing.

Foundation Recommendations
Continuous bearing wall footings and isolated pads may be designed for an allowable
soil bearing value of 2000 and 4000 psf for foundations on compacted structural fill
and bedrock, respectively. Estimated settlements of footings placed on approved
bearing soils/bedrock will be negligible.
Resistance to lateral loads may be provided by passive earth pressure and by sliding
friction. We recommend a passive pressure of 250 pcf for footings and retaining walls
poured against native soils and supporting compacted backfill.
Retaining Walls
Proposed retaining walls should be designed for an active earth pressure of 3o pcf and a
passive value of 300 pcf. Subdrains should also be installed at the base of the retaining
walls to collect possible groundwater seepage from the adjacent planter areas.
Erosion Control and Drainage
Normal erosion control procedures should be in place during project construction
during the winter months. Silt fencing will be needed around the south and easterly
sides of the project site, and quarry spans should be placed for equipment access off of
65th Avenue. Site drainage improvements will include the installation of footing
subdrains, area drains and roof down drains. Discharge of these drains should be
directed to an approved discharge outlet.
Summary
We recommend that we be retained to review the final drawings for foundations and
earthwork to confirm that they are consistent with the recommendations of this report.
Construction monitoring and consultation services should also be provided to verify that
subsurface conditions are similar to those described in this report. Should conditions be
revealed during construction that vary from the anticipated subsurface profile, we will
evaluate those conditions and provide alternative recommendations where appropriate.
Field construction services should be considered an extension of this initial geotechnical
investigation, and are essential to the determination of compliance with the project
drawings and specifications. Such activities would include site and foundation
excavations, preparation of the building pad area, retaining wall excavations, subdrain
installations, and fill placement and compaction.
The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based on 1; our

interpretation and evaluation of soil conditions on this site, 2) confirmation of the actual
subsurface conditions encountered during construction, and 3) the assumption that
sufficient observation and testing will be performed during construction.
Our findings and recommendations in this report were prepared in accordance with
generally accepted principles of geotechnical engineering as practiced in the Puget
Sound area at the time our work was performed. We make no warranty, either express

INTRODUCTION
The applicant, Ray Carlstedt, has applied for a zoning change for tax parcel
num1er 3597000260. The City of Tukwila Department of Community Development
personnel (the Staff) have determined there are two wetlands on the above tax
parcel. Therefore, they have requested that a wetland sensitive area study
be conducted. The applicant talked the situation over with Rebecca Fox and
other personnel within your department. The Tukwila Department of Community
Development has a prepared handout that summarizes the requirements for a
wetland sensitive area study. However, this is a request for rezoning, and
not a development proposal. The Staff has reviewed the city coding
requirements and determined that only the technical requirements of item
6.a. would be required at this time. This basically is the data collection
phase of a wetland determination. A copy of this wetland sensitive area
study handout is attached to the Appendix of this report.
In verbal communication with Rebecca Fox I was told the required input
that must go into this wetland study. In addition to the requirement to
address only item 6.a. has noted above, I was told there is the need to
study only the eastern wetland. In a personal visit to your office, I
obtained a copy of the GIS resource mapping for the Carlstedt property.
This map is attached to the Appendix of this report and labeled as the
CityGIS Map. This GIS mapping layer indicates two wetland areas: the
western one designated as a Type 2 wetland, and the eastern one as a Type 3
wetland. My findings as described below are in close agreement with this
CityGIS mapping.
PROCEDURES and FINDINGS
1. The first steps taken were to review that project requirements and the
regulations that must be followed. Because of its importance, the
Introduction Section explains the rational why this report contains a
subset of the requirements for a full wetland report. This process is
abbreviated because at this time there is just a request for a zoning
change, and not a development proposal. The direction for wetland
procedures and requirements are taken from the Washington State Wetlands
Identification and Delineation Manual (Wetland Manual), Ecology
Publication #96 -94; the City of Tukwila Code, Chapter 18.45,
Environmentally Sensitive Areas; and the U. S. Department of Interior
Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States
(Cowardin Classification).
2. The study site can be easily segregated into two separate upland and
wetland areas. There is no need to make a gridded search to find
additional wetland areas. Wetland A, the critical eastern wetland for
making a rezoning decision, was traversed and the wetland delineation
boundary marked with pink flagging labeled as.WL -Al to WL -A25 and then
WL -A -Last. Land interior to the wetland delineation line meets all three
of the wetland criteria statements: wetland hydrology, hydric soils, and
hydrophytic vegetation. Lands exterior to this wetland delineation line
fail to meet one or more of the required wetland criteria statements.
These wetland delineation points were then surveyed by Pacific Northwest
Land Surveyors, LLC, of Puyallup, Washington. The acreage of Wetland A
is 35,435 square feet. Almost the entire Wetland A area is on the study
parcel except about square feet that extends offsite to the south.
3. Five plots were taken to characterize both upland and wetland conditions
within the study parcel. These plots are labeled as -UPL -1 -Plot,
UPL -2 -Plot, WL -A1 -Plot, WL -A2 -Plot, and WL -A3 -Plot. Information on the
vegetation, hydrology, and soils were recorded on DATA FORM 1 for a
routine wetland determination as described in the Wetland Manual. These
forms are attached to the Appendix of this report. The UPL -1 Plot
records resource conditions in a relatively normal upland area. The
UPL -2 Plot is taken very close to the wetland delineation boundary. The
three wetland plots, WL- A(1,2,3) -Plots represents typical resource
conditions found within the Wetland A area. These wetland plots
indicated that this wetland has vegetation dominated by the shrub layer
with small percentages of trees and scattered presence of an emergent
understory vegetation. Within the Cowardin Classification System,
Wetland A is a Shrub -Shrub Class, Palustrine System, and meets the
hydrophytic vegetation criteria. Hydrologically, the wetland plots are
seasonally inundated with waters during the winter, spring, and early
summer seasons, and meets the wetland hydrology criteria. The soils
within the wetland area are relatively close to the Pu, Puget silty clay
loam soil mapping unit as described in the Soil Survey, King County Area,
Washington, and meets the hydric soil criteria. Due to difficulty in
access the wetland plots the survey crew could not survey all plot
locations. This wetland specialist has marked and labeled the plot
locations on the Wetland Site Map.
4. A Wetland Site Map has been prepared by the combined efforts of the
surveyor and this wetland specialist. The underlying survey map defines
the property lines, road system, wetland delineation, and other
associated detail typically found on survey documents. This wetland
specialist has added the following detail to the survey map and
re- labeled it as the Wetland Site Map. Both the original survey map,
labeled as WETLAND EXHIBIT, and the Wetland Site Map are attached to the
Appendix of this report.
The added details to make the Wetland Site Map includes the following.
a. A new title to the map, labeling it as the Wetland Site Map.
b. The addition of the field wetland flag numbers that correlate with the
assigned survey numbers found on the survey map.
c. The location of the upland and wetland plot locations. Plots
WL -A1 -Plot and WL -A2 -Plot lack any survey data and are conceptual as
to their true location.
d. The 50 ft. standard wetland buffer width has been added around the
eastern wetland area.
e. A signature block is added to identify the Wetland Specialist that has
made these modifications to the original survey document.
5. The wetland was rated following Tukwila Code 18.45.080.(B) and (E). It
was determined that the conditions in the field did not meet the
conditions as outlined for a Type 1 or Type 2 wetland area, and by
default meets the description for a Type 3 wetland rating. The standard
wetland buffer width for a Type 3 wetland is 50 feet. This wetland
buffer is shown on the Wetland Site Map but has not been located in the
field.
6. It was stressed by Tukwila Department of Community Development personnel
that work needed to be done on the water courses in the area. There is a
water course that is shown on the Tukwila City GIS Map flowing in a
southeasterly direction from Wetland A. The legend indicates this is a
Type 4 water course. Additionally an unidentified water course was found
that drains from Wetland B. These two water courses both drain in a
southerly direction but angle off in slightly different directions. The
two water courses do not join together.
a. The water course off the southern tip of Wetland A flows a short
distance into a very small wetland area; then into a crudely
constructed ditch; then at S. 153rd St. goes into a buried culvert
system that appears to drain toward a dual infiltration /retention pond
about 250 feet west of the pagoda in Tukwila Park; and from there
waters likely infiltrate into the soil layers or tie into the local
road drainage systems. This water course has intermittent flow
periods and would not support any life phase of a salmonid species.
It is correctly classified as a Type 4 water course and should have a
50 feet water course buffer. This water course buffer is shown on the
Wetland Site Map and is totally interior to the the Wetland A and
Wetland A buffer areas.
b. The water course off the southern portion of Wetland B was found in
the field after searching for a water connection between Wetland A and
Wetland B. The water course off Wetland B flows in a
southerly southwesterly direction through sections of buried culvert
and stretches of a relatively natural stream channel. It was traced
laterally to a point just east of the junction of Southcenter
Blvd. and 62nd Ave. S. at the prominent Tukwila City Hall sign. From
there the water course flows into another culvert that heads toward
Interstate 405. It is questionable if this water course is
intermittent or perennial, but should not support any phase of a
salmonid species since they must pass through buried culverts sections
and debris traps. This water course would classify as a Type 3 or
Type 4 water course.
7. In summary, the application for a zoning change on the eastern portion of
this property hinges upon the wetland conditions found at the eastern
wetland area: Wetland A. This wetland has been delineated in the field
and the delineation boundary accurately tied into the property boundary
by a licensed surveyor. The size of this wetland has been determined to
be 35,435 square feet or 0.81 acres. Plots were taken to characterize
the wetland and upland resource conditions. Wetland A is a palustrine,
shrub -shrub class, wetland system. It classifies as a Type 3 wetland
area requiring a standard 50 ft. wetland buffer as provided for in
Tukwila City Code 18.45.080.(B and E). Field work was conducted to
determine if Wetland A and Wetland B are connected by surface waters. It
was established they are not. Both of these wetlands have outlets that
flow waters in a southerly direction. However, they are angling away
:from each other without a confluence of the water courses. The water
course associated with Wetland B is not shown on the CityGIS Map and this
may represent new data.
8. In the matter of professional experience, I would simply state that I
have been on the wetland specialist list of Pierce County from 1991 to
the present. During that time period I have conducted over 300 wetland
reports. Most of this wetland work has been done in Pierce County, with
some submissions to other counties and city jurisdictions as in this
case. From 1967 -1990 I was employed by the US Forest Service as a
forester, soil scientist, and watershed specialist. I have a BS degree
in Forest Science from the University of Washington, 1967, with graduate
studies in soil science at Oregon State University and Cornell
University.
Hopefully, the described and attached wetland and water course field studies
are helpful in reaching a determination concerning a rezoning application by
the applicant. In closing, one should recognize there is always a degree of
uncertainty in scientific endeavors. Other individuals may have more time
and discover new data that could lead to different conclusions. I would
simply state I have conducted this wetland investigation, reported my
findings, and made my conclusions and recommendations to the best of my
abilities. If I may be of any further assistance, I may be contacted at
253 474 -5432.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Haggerton
Finance Safety Committee
From: Shawn Hunstock, Finance Director
Date: October 28, 2008
Subject: 2009 Proposed Property Tax Levy
In preparation for our discussion at the November 4, 2008 Finance Safety
Committee meeting, I have attached a number of documents for your review
related to establishing the 2009 property tax levy.
Specifically, you will find a 2009 Preliminary Levy Limit Worksheet
prepared by the King County Assessor's Office; an Excel spreadsheet that I
prepared to develop an estimated levy value, and finally (2) draft ordinances
establishing the 2009 property tax levy. Cities are required to submit their
levy requests to the Metropolitan King County Council by November 28,
2008.
As has been the case in past years, the County will not have final property
valuations prior to the cutoff date. Given the preliminary nature of the
valuations and consideration of the 1 levy base growth constraint, I have
set the recommended levy amount slightly higher than the value I calculated
for the estimated allowable levy. In the final analysis the County is required
to adjust downward to the maximum allowable amount, while conversely it
may not make an upward adjustment.
I look forward to seeing each of you on November 4`

Notes:
1) Rates for fire districts and the library district are estimated at the time this worksheet is
produced. Fire district and library district rates affect the maximum allowable rate for cities
annexed to them. These rates will change, mainly in response to the actual levy requests
from the fire and library districts. Hence, affected cities may have a higher or lower
allowable Levy rate than is shown here when final levy rates are calculated.
2) This figure shows the maximum allowable levy, which may differ from any actual prior levy
if a district has levied less than its maximum in prior years. The maximum allowable levy
excludes any allowable refund levy if the maximum was based on a limit factor. The
maximum allowable levy excludes omitted assessments if the maximum was determined by
your district's statutory rate limit. If your district passed a limit factor ordinance in the year
indicated, that limit factor would help determine the highest allowable levy. However, if the
statutory rate limit was more restrictive than your stated limit factor, the statutory rate limit is
controlling.
3) Any increase in value in state- assessed property is considered to be new construction value
for purposes of calculating the respective limits State- assessed property is property
belonging to inter county utility and transportation companies (telephone, railroad, airline
companies and the like).
4) An omitted assessment is property value that should have been included on a prior year's roll
but will be included on the tax roll for which this worksheet has been prepared. Omits are
assessed and taxed at the rate in effect for the year omitted (RCW 84.40.080 -085). Omitted
assessments tax is deducted from the levy maximum before calculating the levy rate for
current assessments and added back in as a current year's receivable.
5) Administrative refunds under RCW 84.69.020 were removed from the levy lid by the 1981
legislature.
6) A district is entitled to the lesser of the maximum levies determined by application of the
limit under RCW 84.55 and the statutory rate limit. Levies may be subject to further
proration if aggregate rate limits set in Article VII of the state constitution and in RCW
84.52.043 are exceeded.
7) This section is provided for your information, and to assist in preparing any Increase
Ordinance that may be required by RCW 84.55.120. The increase infoiixiation compares the
allowable levy for the next tax year with your ACTUAL levy being collected this year. The
actual levy excludes any refund levy and expired temporary lid lifts, if applicable. New
construction, annexation and refund levies, as well as temporary lid lifts in their initial year,
are subtracted from this year's allowable levy before the companson is made.
8) Assessed valuations shown are subject to change from error corrections and appeal board
decisions recorded between the date of this worksheet and final levy rate determination.

The City's water and sewer rates need to be increased to meet operational and capital expenditures
for their corresponding enterprise funds. Single and multi- family summer water rates will increase
from $3.38 per ccf to $3.89 due to an increase in wholesale water rates from Cascade Water
Alliance. The sewer fund's monthly residential flat rate will increase from $10.12 to $11.64 per
residential connection. The sewer ordinance will reflect the increase in the King County's sewer
metro fee from $27.95 to $31.90 per month. The surface water fees will not increase in 2009. All of
the fees are now included in the Public Works Fee Schedule Resolution.

INFORMATION MEMO
Adopt 2009 water and sewer rate increases. We will continue to review the annual rate model for
the proposed increases for 2010 and present them to Council in October 2009.
WATER
Public Works has analyzed the needs of the water enterprise fund. Wholesale water rates from
Cascade Water Alliance are projected to increase 11.7% for 2009 and 7.3% for 2010. An overall
15 rate increase (see Table 1) is being proposed to maintain the current level of service and
lessen the impact of future cost increases for purchased water. A portion of this increase will
provide the funds necessary for continuing operational and capital needs. Exhibit A is an
overview of all of the Proposed Utility Rate Increases for residential customers. Exhibit E is the
Resolution that updates the Public Works Fee Schedule.
SEWER
For sewer rates, King County Ordinance No. 16135 shows a 14.13 increase of the King
County sewage disposal fees for 2009 from $27.95 to $31.90 per residential customer equivalent
per month. The King County sewage treatment capacity charge (for any new sewer connections)
will increase from the current $46.25 to $47.64 per month for fifteen years for any sewer
connection occurring between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009. Exhibit B is King
County Ordinance No. 16135. Exhibit C is the proposed City of Tukwila Ordinance that
incorporates the 2009 King County sewer rate increase.
Tukwila's sewer base rate is scheduled for an increase (see Table 2) in accordance with the rate
model which analyzes the City's operational and capital needs. The City's sewer rate will
increase from $10.12 to $11.64 per residential connection and from $17.71 to $20.37 for up to
750 cubic feet or fraction thereof for commercial /industrial customers. Exhibit D -1 shows a
comparison of adjoining cities and their water and sewer rates. Exhibit E is the Resolution that
updates the Public Works Fee Schedule.
SURFACE WATER
Tukwila's surface water base rate is scheduled for an increase in 2010. The City's surface water
rate will stay at $71.00 per residential parcel, per year and will range from $8.85 to $73.96 per
4,356 sq. ft. Exhibits D -2 and D -3 are comparisons with other cities and their surface water
rates.

18 Once a sewer rate ordinance becomes effective, the clerk of the council is directed to
19 deliver a copy of that ordinance to each agency having an agreement for sewage disposal
20 with King County.
21 B. The King County council approves the application of Statement of Financial
22 Accounting Standards No. 71 (FAS 71) to treat pollution remediation obligations and the
23 first year start-un costs after construction on new plants as regulatory assets, and establish
24 a rate stabilization reserve for the purpose of leveling rates between years.
25 C. As required for FAS 71 application amounts are to be placed in the rate
26 stabilization reserve from ((2-807)) 2008 and 2009 operating revenues and removed from

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Water and Sewer Rate for 2009
Jim Morrow and Gail Labanara reported on the water, sewer and surface water funds and the
proposed rate increases for 2009. Water revenue remains flat and with the Cascade Water Alliance
increase of 11.7% in 2009, an overall 15% water rate increase is proposed. The CIP's Water
Attachment D now has Cascade Water Alliance shown in Water Revenue and Water Expenditures as
a pass- though cost to the ratepayers (similar to the sewer fund's KC Metro sewer fees). All of the rate
changes are included in Exhibit A. Both water and sewer rates will be adopted by the Public Works
Fee Schedule Resolution.
King County will be increasing their sewer charge 14.13 from $27.95 to $31.90 per month as well
as the sewer capacity charge. The KC sewer metro rate increase will be adopted by the proposed
sewer ordinance. City sewer rates will increase by 15% in 2009. There is no increase in 2009 for the
surface water fees. All three of these enterprise funds are restricting capital projects in order to keep
the ending fund balance stable. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMEBER 10

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Community Affairs and Parks Committee
FROM: Bruce Fletcher, Director of Parks and Recreation
DATE: October 22, 2008
SUBJECT: Open Space Acquisition
The Parks and Recreation Department has been contacted by a representative of the Boys
and Girls Club of Thurston County to acquire available open space land in Tukwila. The
1.74 acre site is located at 5800 S 152 Street and adjoins the Tukwila Elementary
School property.
When first approached to purchase this land, the askmg price was $799,000 and is zoned
at medium density residential. The property is surrounded by many apai t,.uent complexes
and homes and this green space would be ideal to preserve as open space instead of the
proposed apartment unit site.
The open space need is justified by the current Parks and Open Space Plan which has
identified a deficit of open space of 12.68 acres by the year 2022. With the property
location next to a local elementary school and near our #7 foot trail, it certainly fits the
need to move forward with the open space proposal.
After negotiations with the Boys and Girls Club real estate representative, a purchase
price of $1 50,000 was agreed upon. The funding will come from the current 2008
Capital Improvement Program for parks and trails.
It is the recommendation of the Director of Parks and Recreation to approve the purchase
and sale agreement of $150,000 for the 1.74 acres located at 5800 South 152 Street.

Community Affairs Parks Committee Minutes October 27. 2008 Paae 2
C. Acauisition of Open Space at 5800 South 152n Street
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a purchase and sale agreement in the amount of $150,000 for
1.74 acres of land located at 5800 South 152n Street (adjoins Tukwila Elementary School property).
Staff was originally contacted by a real estate professional to evaluate the City's interest in purchasing
the property. The property's sale price is $799,000, and the assessed value is $304,000. Bruce Fletcher
communicated to the agent that the City would not be able to afford the sale price or assessed values for
the property. After some discussion, the agent agreed to sell the land to the City for $150,000, which is
the amount of available funding in the current Capital Improvement Program for parks and trails.
Acquisition of this open space is justified through the current Parks and Recreation Open Space Plan
which identifies a deficit in open space by the year 2022. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO NOVEMBER 10 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
D. Levels of Service Standards for Parks. Recreation Open Space Plan
As per the Council minutes of the October 20, 2008, this item is returning to the Community Affairs and
Parks Committee for review of the Parks and Recreation capital facilities project list related to future
growth.
This list will be included in an ordinance which amends the Parks Recreation Open Space Plan to
establish levels -of- service standards and identify capital facilities needed to maintain those levels -of-
service.
Staff briefly explained how the estimated project costs were derived for each project, and how those
.costs were based on a square acre costing approximately $800,000 for land acquisition. Staff will put the
best practice formula utilized for the estimated calculation in writing.
When looking at this list of capital facilities related to maintaining levels -of- service, it is important to
remember several things:
These projects would be built as a response to increased growth/population.
Projects must be listed in the Plan if they are to be built as a result of impact fees or will be
built over the next six years.
The list includes projects totaling over $48 million. The projects are not anticipated to be
built at one time. The projects cover a 20 -25 year period based on future growth.
The list will be narrowed down by the time information needs to be incorporated into the CIP
and/or such a time the impact fees are considered.
The Open Space Plan, including levels -of- service and capital facilities list, is a planning
document, not a directive or mandate for the beginning or completion of these projects.
Most of the projects have resulted from recommendations contained in the completed Parks
and Recreation Open Space Plan (adopted by Council on June 23, 2008).
After discussion, the Committee was in favor of sending the ordinance back to a COW for further
discussion. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 10 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.

Community Affairs and Parks Committee
H. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Cascade Agenda Cities Program
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a resolution which establishes the City as a member of the
Cascade Agenda Cities Program.
Brooke Alford, Parks Commissioner, introduced Jeff Aken from Cascade Land Conservancy (CLC) and
briefed the Committee on The Cascade Agenda. Jeff spoke further to the Agenda and how it reaches out
to communities within the region as well as to different stakeholders. The Cascade Agenda Cities
Program began last year and is an extension of the Agenda. It acknowledges that we are all planning
under the Growth Management Act and also incorporates the greater Agenda vision which looks out over
100 years. The Cities Program encourages partnering with cities to talk about creating livable cities
through smart choices about future growth. Additionally, the Program assists cities in connecting
planning policies to things the community cares about (traffic, housing, walk ability, etc.). The Program
focuses on working towards creating communities that are: complete, compact and connected.
Jeff described the two types of levels in the Cities Program: the Membership level and the Leadership
level. The Membership level results in no cost to the city and requires a council resolution supporting
membership. The Leadership Cities requires a council resolution, costs $5,000 annually and Cascade
Land Conservancy establishes a closer partnership with the member city on a policy level often resulting
in specific planning objectives between CLC and the city.
Committee members were interested in the Program and have requested staff return to Committee at a
later date with a draft resolution and recommendation regarding which level the City should pursue.
STAFF WILL RETURN TO COMMITTEE AT A LATER DATE WITH A
RECOMMENDATION AND RESOLUTION.
B. Tukwila Pond Park Development Contract with Robert W. Droll, Landscape Architect
Staff is seeking Council approval of a consultant agreement with Robert W. Droll Landscape Architect in
the amount of $34,100.54 for Tukwila Pond Park Development Design.
The most recent contract with Robert W. Droll expired in August 2008, with a remaining balance on the
agreement. Since the agreement was not extended prior to its expiration, staff must draw up a new
agreement for the unspent/available funds remaining from the original agreement ($34,100.54). The new
agreement will be valid for one year. According to the agreement, Robert W. Droll will continue to serve
as consultant to the City in the capacity of park planner /landscape architect as well as preparation of bid
documents. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 10 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.

RE: PARKS LEVEL OF SERVICE ORDINANCE Refinement of List of Parks
Capital Projects (attached)
The Community Affairs and Parks (CAP) Committee reviewed this issue at its August 11, 2008
meeting and forwarded it to the August 25, 2008 Committee of the Whole meeting (C O.W.),
with a recommendation for adoption. At the August 25, 2008 C.O.W. a public hearing was
held, and the issue was discussed and forwarded on to the September 2 Regular Meeting for
adoption. The draft ordinance was pulled from the September 2, 2008 agenda in order to add
the list of capital facilities anticipated due to future growth.
At the Council's Regular Meeting on October 20, 2008, Council passed the draft ordinance
back to the Community Affairs and Parks Committee for review of the list of capital facilities
projects which was added to the draft ordinance.
At the October 27, 2008 CAP meeting, the Committee reviewed the proposed list of $48
Million in Parks Capital Projects and questioned staff on the timing, need, and cost of the
projects. Staff indicated the $48 Million list would be the basis for the list of projects proposed
for funding through Parks impact fees and would be pared down considerably. Staff has
reviewed the list several times, removed several projects, added one project (TOD (Transit
Oriented Development) Pedestrian Bridge across Green River), reduced the total cost to
approximately $38 Million and divided the projects into two sets: 1) List A (those that would
be proposed for impact fee funding (1 6 -year CIP)) and 2) List B (those that would be added
to the CIP list later (over the next 10 years)). The new list is clearer and shorter; it addresses
the issues raised by CAP members. It is attached to the ordinance in the agenda packet. At its
November 10, 2008 meeting, CAP will review and forward this revised $38 Million list to
COW for discussion with the Parks LOS ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance establishing level of service (LOS) standards for parks and open space,
identifying the capital facilities needed to maintain the LOS standards for future growth and
amending Ordinance 2207 adopting the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan to incorporate
the LOS standards and list of capital facilities.

Community Affairs Parks Committee Minutes October 27, 2008 Page 2
C. Acquisition of Open Space at 5800 South 152n Street
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a purchase and sale agreement in the amount of $150,000 for
1.74 acres of land located at 5800 South 152n Street (adjoins Tukwila Elementary School property).
Staff was originally contacted by a real estate professional to evaluate the City's interest in purchasing
the property. The property's sale price is $799,000, and the assessed value is $304,000. Bruce Fletcher
communicated to the agent that the City would not be able to afford the sale price or assessed values for
the property. After some discussion, the agent agreed to sell the land to the City for $150,000, which is
the amount of available funding in the current Capital Improvement Program for parks and trails.
Acquisition of this open space is justified through the current Parks and Recreation Open Space Plan
which identifies a deficit in open space by the year 2022. UNANL IOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO NOVEMBER 10 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
D. Levels of Service Standards for Parks. Recreation Open Space Plan
As per the Council minutes of the October 20, 2008, this item is returning to the Community Affairs and
Parks Committee for review of the Parks and Recreation capital facilities project list related to future
growth.
This list will be included in an ordinance which amends the Parks Recreation Open Space Plan to
establish levels -of- service standards and identify capital facilities needed to maintain those levels -of-
service.
Staff briefly explained how the estimated project costs were derived for each project, and how those
costs were based on a square acre costing approximately $800,000 for land acquisition. Staff will put the
best practice formula utilized for the estimated calculation in writing.
When looking at this list of capital facilities related to maintaining levels -of- service, it is important to
remember several things:
These projects would be built as a response to increased growth/population.
Projects must be listed in the Plan if they are to be built as a result of impact fees or will be
built over the next six years.
The list includes projects totaling over $48 million. The projects are not anticipated to be
built at one time. The projects cover a 20 -25 year period based on future growth.
The list will be narrowed down by the time information needs to be incorporated into the CIF
and/or such a time the impact fees are considered.
The Open Space Plan, including levels -of- service and capital facilities list, is a planning
document, not a directive or mandate for the beginning or completion of these projects.
Most of the projects have resulted from recommendations contained in the completed Parks
and Recreation Open Space Plan (adopted by Council on June 23, 2008).
After discussion, the Committee was in favor of sending the ordinance back to a COW for further
discussion. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 10 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.
