Sierra Construe FINANCIAL ACTION SUMMARY Exoenditure Reauired Amount Budaeted/Annroved Additional Amount Reauired ISSUE: Shall the City Council review and provide input regarding the proposed amendment to the Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan? RECOMMENDATION: To review and provide feedback on the proposed changes. BACKGROUND: The Woodinville Municipal Code (WMC) 17.07.050 establishes that zoning code amendments, development regulations amendments, area-wide zoning map amendments, Comprehensive Plan adoption/amendments, and annexations be reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public hearing and then forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation. ANALYSIS: The City Council added an item to the 2017 docket to amend the Comprehensive Plan from Woodland Residential to Office due to a private application proposed by Sierra Construction. Sierra Construction is currently processing a right-of-way vacation of 148th Ave NE through the public process. The area encompasses a portion of the vacated 148th Avenue NE that is approximately 205' x 45' x 125' x 58'. Once the land use designation in the Comp Plan is amended, the land in question would need to be rezoned. This type of rezoning, known as a site-specific rezone, would be heard by the Hearing Examiner with final approval by the City Council. This would take place later, after the Comprehensive Plan is amended. These processes are needed so the developer can access Woodinville-Duvall Road through a controlled intersection. The vacated right-of-way allows access to the intersection and a fourth leg to the signal would be required. This would result in a safer connection to Woodinville Way. The land use change and eventual rezoning are needed so the developer can access the property through office zoned property within the former right-of-way. Access to office zoned property is not allowed through residential zoned property. The developer intends to build an office building in the office zoned property. The following attachments are included to illustrate the proposed Comp Plan Amendment: The Land Use Map, map of area to be modified and the Narrative and Decision Criteria. RECOMMENDED MOTION: 1.

Attachment 1 Comprehensive Plan Amendment from R-1 Residential to 0-0ffice for a portion of the unimproved 148th Avenue Right-of-Way north of the Woodinville-Duvall Road Project Narrative The applicant is requesting that an approximately 5,000 square foot area of the unimproved 148th Avenue right-of-way that extends north of the Woodinville Duvall Road for approximately 200 feet be redesignated from "R-1- Residential" to "O - Office" to match the Comprehensive Plan of the adjacent parcel to the west. The adjacent parcel to the west, #032605-9073-05, is currently zoned O - Office. This request is to amend the Comprehensive Plan in the area of the right-ofway through which access is required to the adjacent Office zoned parcel to the west. Statement of Decision Criteria 1. The proposed action is consistent with the Growth Management Act in that it supports the urban zoning of the O-Office zoned parcel to the west and allov.s for access to that property over Office designated land. 2. The proposed action is consistent with the applicable Countywide planning policies in that it supports urban land use within the Urban Growth Area. 3. The proposed action is consistent with the existing policies of the ComprehensivePlan because the adjacent parcel to the west is currently zoned 0-0ffice, but to safely access that parcel you must enter from the 4th leg of the traffic signal on North Woodinville Way which is aligned in a northeasterly direction. That access location requires crossing a small segment of land that is currently zoned Residential before turning west into the Office-zoned property. The proposed change of land use designation would have no effect on the current use of other properties in the vicinity. The property to the south is currently zoned 0- Office and the R-1 property to the east would not be affected by designating this area as 0- Office to match the property to the west. 4. The proposed action is beneficial to the City as a whole, and to the health, safety and welfare of its residents, because it allows a portion of the adjacent parcel be developed into an office building supplying jobs to the local area economy and increased taxes to the City and the County. Access to the adjacent parcel from the traffic light will be a much safer means of accessing the 0-0ffice parcel from the Woodinville Duvall Road thus reducing the chance of a traffic accident along that street. The Office designation provides a desirable buffer from the industrial designated property to the west for the residents to the north and east of the subject area. The Comprehensive Plan amendment as proposed promotes a more desirable land use pattern for the community by designating a small portion of the right-of-way consistently with the soon to be developed 0-0ffice parcel to the west, while maintaining the Residential designation over the more desirable portions of the currently R-1 zoned property. 2
