City of SeaTac
ORDINANCE NO. 02-1029

AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of SeaTac, Washington, amending the City Zoning Code to provide for "Secure Community Transition Facilities" (SCTF), Major Communication Facilities, and Group Homes as Essential Public Facilities (EPF).

WHEREAS, the Growth Management Act requires regular review and update of development regulations which implement the City's Comprehensive Plan; and

WHEREAS, regular review and update of the Zoning Code ensures that development regulations are responsive to the needs of the City; and

WHEREAS, in reviewing the Zoning Code, certain development regulations have been identified as requiring definition, clarity, amendment or addition; and

WHEREAS, Chapter 68, Laws of 2002 (ESSB 6594) requires that cities allow "Secure Community Transition Facilities," either through regulations adopted by the City or through preemption by the State; and,

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the aforesaid development regulations, has held a public hearing for the purpose of soliciting public comment in regard to Zoning Code changes, and has recommended certain amendments and additions to the Council; and

WHEREAS, the Council finds as a fact that Secure Community Transition Facilities should not be permitted within any residential zone or within 330 feet from any residentially zoned property which is a reasonable distance in order to meet siting criteria of limiting exposure to neighbors, limiting unsupervised contact, ensuring visual and physical barriers, and providing separation from risk potential community activities and facilities;

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEATAC, WASHINGTON DO ORDAIN as follows:

Section 1. Section 15.10.249 of the SeaTac Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

15.10.249 Essential Public Facility

    A facility providing public services, or publicly funded services that is difficult to site or expand and which meets any of the following criteria: meets the Growth Management Act definition of an essential public facility (EPF), at RCW 36.70A.200, as now existing or hereafter amended, is on the State, King County or City list of essential public facilities; serves a significant portion of the County or region, or is part of a county-wide or multi-county service system, and is difficult to site or expand. Essential public facilities include, but are not limited to, the following: airports; State and local correction facilities; State educational facilities; State and regional transportation facilities; landfills; solid waste handling facilities; sewage treatment facilities; major communication facilities and antennas (excluding wireless telecommunications facilities); and in-patient facilities, such as group homes (excluding those facilities covered by the Washington Housing Policy Act), mental health facilities, Secure Community Transition Facilities (SCTF), and substance abuse facilities.

Section 2. Sub-section A of Section 15.12.017 of the SeaTac Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

    15.12.017 Community Residential Facilities

      A. "Group homes" in the City of SeaTac are classified as "community residential facilities (CRF)". Community residential facilities include all uses defined by SMC 15.10.130, including housing for persons with disabilities, children and domestic abuse shelters. CRFs do not include overnight shelters (as defined by SMC 15.10.440), halfway houses (as defined by SMC 15.10.298), or facilities providing alcohol and drug detoxification (defined as convalescent centers by SMC 15.10.155). Transitional housing is also classified as a separate use (under SMC 15.10.649), unless such housing is for victims of domestic violence, for children, or for the disabled. Secure Community Transition Facilities are neither group homes nor transitional housing; they are classified as a separate use under SMC 15.10.561.05.

Section 3. Section 15.12.050 of the SeaTac Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

Section 6. Sub-section C of Section 15.22.035 of the SeaTac Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

15.22.035 Siting of Essential Public Facilities

    C. Threshold Review

        1. During and or within forty-five (45) days subsequent to the mandatory preapplication Development Review Committee meeting required by SMC 16.05.020, the Director of Planning and Community Development shall make a threshold determination, and advise the potential applicant in writing of such determination, whether the proposed project is an EPF and, if so, whether it is difficult to site. In making said determinations, the Director shall broadly and liberally apply the definition of an EPF in consideration of the full range of proposed and potential services to be provided to the public, whether provided directly by, funded by, or contracted for by a governmental agency, or provided by a private entity or entities subject to public service obligations. The determination of whether an EPF will be difficult to site shall be made by the director, upon known or reasonably perceived and articulable facts. Proposed projects determined not to be EPFs, and proposed projects determined to be EPFs but also determined to be not difficult of siting, shall be reviewed and processed as any other similar project pursuant to the City Development Code without regard to this section.

        2. The interlocal agreement dated September 4, 1997, (ILA) between the City of SeaTac and Port of Seattle specifically lists airport master plan projects in Attachment A-1 to Exhibit A and other uses in its Attachment A-2 to Exhibit A. The ILA does not determine whether the listed projects and uses are EPFs but Section 2 of the ILA provides that these projects and uses shall be reviewed and developed pursuant to the standards in the ILA. Therefore, and due to the extensive public and environmental review of the airport master plan, the City's EPF siting process is deemed complete for the projects listed in the ILA's Attachment A-1 to Exhibit A, "List of Port Master Plan Projects" and for uses that are defined under State law to be airport uses. However, this chapter shall apply to any nonairport uses which otherwise meets the definition of an EPF in SMC 15.10.249.

Section 7. Sub-section E of Section 15.22.035 of the SeaTac Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

      E. CUP-EPF Review Process. All EPFs, once determined by the City not to be exempt as an EPF, shall be subject to the following CUP-EPF review procedure:

        1. Project Notification. The applicant, after a preapplication meeting, shall notify the City as soon as possible of intent to submit a CUP-EPF review application. If the applicant does not notify the City of a pending EPF review application, the City may make an initial determination of whether the proposed project is subject to CUP-EPF review, and shall notify the project proponent, in writing, of the City's determination.

        2. Environmental Review. The EPF project shall comply with all applicable SEPA/NEPA requirements and the proponent shall mitigate identified environmental impacts as conditions of CUP-EPF approval.

        3. Formation of Ad Hoc Committee. The City Council shall establish an Ad Hoc Committee by appointing up to seven (7) members and the Planning Commission appointing one (1) member, for each EPF-CUP application. The Ad Hoc Committee may include representatives of the Planning Commission or other persons with detailed knowledge of City land use or transportation issues. The Ad Hoc Committee shall be appointed by the City Council within seventy-five (75) days of the determination by the Director of Planning and Community Development that the proposed project is an EPF, pursuant to SMC 15.22.035 C.1.

          a. The City Council will establish a time frame of between thirty (30) to sixty (60) days, unless a longer time frame is necessary due to an EPF project timeline, in which the Ad Hoc Committee must review, consult and issue a preliminary recommendation. At the end of the thirty (30) to sixty (60) day period, this time frame may be extended only by the authority of the City Council, and shall not be extended more than a maximum of three (3) such time periods, unless the applicant agrees that more time is needed.

          b. Prior to accepting an appointment on the Ad Hoc Committee, an appointee must divulge any vested interest in any properties or businesses, the value of which could be substantially affected by the committee's recommendation.

        4. Ad Hoc Committee Review and Coordination. City staff shall prepare an analysis of the CUP-EPF application for use of the Ad Hoc Committee. The Ad Hoc Committee shall review the analysis and the EPF project under the criteria of subsection (F) of this section and prepare draft recommendations on each of the following:

          a. Whether the project is consistent with each of the Ad Hoc Committee review criteria, subsection (F) of this section; and

          b. Whether the project should include a special district overlay zone (defined in Chapter 15.28 SMC); and

          c. Conditions or restrictions for siting and mitigating the impacts of the proposed EPF under the authority of the City's SEPA ordinances, Comprehensive Plan and development regulations.

        The Ad Hoc Committee shall present its draft recommendations to the Planning Commission and, upon receiving input of the Planning Commission, shall prepare final written recommendations to the Hearing Examiner or City Council.

        5. City Council Determination. The City Council shall determine if an essential public facility shall be heard by the Hearing Examiner or City Council, based on the following factors:

          a. a. Size of project;

          b. Area of City affected by proposed project;

          c. Environmental impact on sensitive areas;

          d. Timing of project.

        6. Staff Report. The Department on Planning and Community Development shall prepare a staff report, which shall include Planning Advisory Committee comments, as well as the final recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee. The staff report shall also include an evaluation of the consistency of the proposed EPF, as recommended by the Ad Hoc Committee, with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan and development regulations, and shall include proposed findings, conclusions and proposed recommendations for disposition of the proposed CUP-EPF to the designated hearing body for a public hearing.

        7. Public Hearing and Decision. The designated hearing body shall hold a public hearing pursuant to SMC 16.03.040 to make findings and issue a decision. The notice of such public hearing shall be consistent with Chapter 16.09 SMC.

Section 8. Sub-section F of Section 15.22.035 of the SeaTac Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

      F. Ad Hoc Committee Review Criteria. The Ad Hoc Committee shall determine whether the proposed EPF is consistent with the following criteria:

        1. The feasibility of the proposed facility and whether there is a more appropriate siting alternative for the proposed facility.

        2. The proposed site is adequate in size and shape for the proposed project and the use conforms, or can aesthetically conform, to the general character of the neighborhood.

        3. The proportionate financial burdens of the proposed EPF on the City and other affected jurisdictions, and whether they are reasonably mitigated as provided in an inter-jurisdictional agreement, or by other means.

        4. The proposed EPF is consistent with the following:

        a. Availability and physical constraints of land.

        b. Compatibility with adjacent and nearby land uses.

        c. Mitigation of likely adverse environmental impacts, including but not limited to erosion, sensitive areas, noise, odor, traffic, and air and water quality.

        d. Basic infrastructure standards, such as vehicular traffic, and the availability of necessary utilities and services.

        e. The City of SeaTac's Comprehensive Plan and development regulations, and the plans and policies of other affected jurisdictions.

        f. Applicable City inter-jurisdictional agreements.

        g. Siting of Secure Community Transition Facilities must be in accordance with the siting criteria of Chapter 71.09 RCW, and regulations adopted pursuant thereto. In addition, no Secure Community Transition Facility shall be sited closer than 330 feet from any residentially zoned property.

Section 9. Sub-section H of Section 15.22.035 of the SeaTac Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

      H. Designated Hearing Body Final Decision. Recognizing that RCW 36.70A.200(2) prohibits the City from precluding the siting of an essential public facility, if the permit application proposes siting of a project in a location other than the City's preferred location, if any, the hearing body shall provide at least fourteen (14) days' public notice, and written notice to the applicant, of an additional public hearing on the application. At the additional public hearing, the applicant shall present information as to why the City's preferred location, rather than the location applied for, will preclude development of the project. The applicant shall provide any engineering, financial and other studies and information necessary to explain its position. The hearing body, with additional analysis and input from City staff, if requested, shall make findings and a decision as to whether siting the project at the City's preferred location would be impossible, impracticable, or otherwise preclusive. The said findings and decision shall not be deemed, however, to limit the authority of a regional decision-making body, under law now existing or subsequently amended, to determine where its facilities shall be sited. This Section shall not apply to the siting of Secure Community Transition Facilities.
