INDUSTRIAL LANDS - DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS

In December 2013 we released a study of the Greater Duwamish Manufacturing and Industrial Center (M/IC) that reevaluates our policies regarding future uses in the M/IC. Our recommendations focus on changes to the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Code to limit activities that could interfere with in-dustry and port operations in the M/IC.

Concern: industrial land may erode or transition to non-indus-trial use

Recommendation: Adopt specific policies in the Comprehensive Plan that will restrict removal of land from the Duwamish M/IC.

• Do not remove land from a designated Manufacturing/In-dustrial Center unless:

» the proposed use for the land is identified » there is insufficient appropriately zoned land elsewhere in the city for the proposed use;

» the proposed use would not displace an existing indus-trial use; and

» the proposed use would not adversely affect nearby in-dustrial operations.

This policy would provide clear criteria for making future de-cisions about reducing the amount of land in the M/ICs. This policy reinforces the Comp Plan’s urban village strategy of concentrating office, retail and residential growth in walkable urban neighborhoods. It also recognizes the existing signifi-cant zoning capacity in the City’s designated urban centers and urban villages.

Concern: Over the past years, Industrial Commercial (IC) zon-ing has mainly produced large, single-use office buildings, due to its generous allowances for office and retail uses.

Recommendation: Do not allow any new IC zoning in the Duwamish M/IC.

Because the M/ICs are the industrial areas where the City wants to direct and maintain the most intensive industrial uses, this policy would prevent use of this zone in those areas that helps achieve that objective, while still allowing the IC zone to be applied in other locations outside of the M/IC.

Why City Policies Protect Industrial Land

• Protect and promote family wage jobs

• Economic resilience• Support for international trade

• Industrial lands generate: » 1/3 of City’s sales tax revenue » 1/3 of City’s B&O tax revenue

INDUSTRIAL LANDS: POLICY BACKGROUND AND ZONING

BACKGROUND

King County County-wide Planning Policies

DP-35: Adopt in city comprehensive plans a map and employment growth targets for each Manufacturing/ Industrial Center and adopt policies and regulations for the Center to . . . (s)trictly limit residential uses and discourage land uses that are not compatible with manufacturing and industrial uses, such as by imposing low maximum size limits on offic-es and retail uses that are not accessory to an industrial use;

Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan

UV-21 Promote manufacturing and industrial employment growth, including manufacturing uses, advanced technology industries, and a wide range of industrial-related com-mercial functions, such as warehouse and distribution activities, in manufacturing/ industrial centers.

UV-24 Limit in manufacturing/industrial areas those commercial or residential uses that are unrelated to the industrial function, that occur at intensities posing short-and long-term conflicts for industrial uses, or that threaten to convert significant amounts of industrial land to non-industrial uses.

Georgetown Neighborhood Plan - adopted neighborhood plan goals

G-G1 A healthy Georgetown area economy that capitalizes on the presence of the regionally significant design and gift centers and the related wholesale, retail, design, and manufacturing trades to foster economic development and physical visibility of these industries.

G-G2 A residential community that recognizes, preserves and enhances Georgetown’s residential area as a viable place where people live, raise families, enjoy open spaces, and celebrate its unique historic character and buildings.

G-G3 A community that is safe and is perceived as safe for living, working, and doing business.

G-G4 An economically strong and vital manufacturing and industrial center that places priority on job creation, business growth, and ways for linking Georgetown residents to lo-cal jobs.

G-G5 A community that receives responsible and efficient City action in the abatement of illegal and criminal uses.

G-G6 A community that continues to support its businesses, promotes job growth, and receives the necessary public investment in infrastructure to continue economic vibrancy.

G-G7 An integrated transportation network that addresses the freight mobility, highway access, and efficiency demands of all users; the non-motorized and pedestrian needs of area residents; and that is supported by the basic services of good roads, transit service, and efficient area-wide circulation.

G-G8 A community sensitive to environmental quality with a recognition and respect for the vital natural environment and ecosystems, such as the Duwamish River, that survive in Georgetown in the presence of commerce and industry

Seattle has four industrial zoning classifications: General Industrial 1 (IG1), General Industrial 2 (IG2), Industrial Buffer (IB) and Industrial Commercial (IC)

• IG1 allows the most intensive industrial uses.• IG1 and IG2 combine to cover about 90% of in-

dustrial land • Size of use limits restrict the amount of office and

retail uses that can be built on lots in IG1, IG2 and IB zones

• IC allows larger non-industrial activities, such as office and retail uses

BUILDINGS & ACTIVITIES: PRESERVE, IMPROVE OR CHANGE

PRESERVE / STAY THE SAME – Put a BLUE DOT on buildings or activities (i.e. type of business) you would like to keep the same.

The purpose of this exercise is to identify areas in Georgetown that you think should be preserved/stay the same, improved or changed. Please place a dot and add notes describing what specific aspects of a property you are referring to (note the address, business name or intersection if known)

Final Freight Master Plan

WINTER 2015 SPRING 2015 FALL 2015

NOVEMBER 2014

WhatDaily life relies on goods movement. In Seattle, thousands of local jobs and deliveries depend on an efficient, connected freight network. To ensure Seattle is prepared for our continued growth, the Seattle department of Transportation is preparing a Freight Master Plan that will serve as the 20-year blueprint to guide freight mobility investments and improvements.

WhySeattle’s diverse economy and trade are important parts of the city’s history and identity. As the city grows, more trucks will use our streets to support city and regional needs. Ensuring efficient goods movement, of all freight modes, will keep Seattle and the region competitive by creating jobs and business diversity, and sustaining our quality of life.

40% of all jobs in Washington can be tied to trade-related activity, making our state one of the most trade engaged economies in the country.

Agricultural products represent 64% of total tonnage exported from Seattle region ports.

HowThe Freight Master Plan will:

Update the current freight network map to better reflect where goods should safely move throughout the city

develop freight design guidelines to help the city when making street improvements

Propose policies, programs, and projects to help goods move more efficiently and reliably

Prioritize improvements to guide investments

Integrate the movement of goods and people to ensure freight needs and improvements are coordinated with other mobility needs
