BUSH, MMC CITY CLERK 015 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE ACTION IS TITLE: Authorizing the TYPE OF ACTION: REQUESTED: execution of an agreement with Tucci & Sons, Inc., in an ORDINANCE NO. 3-19-2018 amount not to exceed $758,000, for roadway improvements at RESOLUTION NO. REVIEW: Fort Steilacoom Park. x_ MOTION NO. 2018-15 3-19-2018 ATTACHMENTS: OTHER Bid Tabulation SUBMITTED BY: Mary Dodsworth, Director Parks, Recreation and Community Services RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Tucci & Sons, Inc., for installation of roadway improvements at Fort Steilacoom Park in an amount not-to-exceed $758,000. DISCUSSION: The asphalt paving within Fort Steilacoom Park has deteriorated due to the age of the pavement and the impacts of weather and an ever increasing volume of traffic. This past fall, the City hired the engineering firm of Gray & Osborne to design the paving and drainage from the park entry at 87th Ave SW along Waughop Lake Road to the new parking lot near Waughop Lake and north along Angle Lane to, and including, the Angle Lane parking lot (near the soccer fields). The design calls for crushing the existing roadway and leaving it in place as sub-base for new asphalt paving, new parking areas, concrete curbs for traffic and storm water control and new drainage structures as needed to remove water from the roadway surface. Bids were opened on March 8, 2018 and the City received six responsive proposals. The bid consisted of a base-bid for repaving Waughop Lake Rd with alternates for Angle Lane, the Angle Lane parking lot and enhanced concrete curbing. Because the City desires to move forward with installing new water and sewer utilities along Angle Lane to serve current and future development, we are recommending accepting the base-bid, Angle Lane parking lot and associated concrete curbing for this phase of work. The low bid submitted by Tucci and Sons for the above referenced work is $758,000. This work will be exempt from state sales tax because of the qualification as road reconstruction. (Continued). ALTERNATIVE(S): Council could not approve contract and request an alternative scope of work for re-design and re-bidding. This would delay construction and road improvements. FISCAL IMPACT: Fiscal impact of this contract is $758,000. The City budgeted $750,000 in the Parks Capital budget and an additional $250,000 is being recommended for 2018 budget adjustment to cover all project costs for a total project cost of $1,000,000. Prepared by City Manager Review Department Director 016 DISCUSSION (CONTINUED): To expedite construction, we plan to close the main roadway into the park during construction. Access to the park and parking lot near the baseball fields (along Steilacoom Blvd) will remain open as well as a temporary access along Angle Lane to the new parking lot near Waughop Lake from the southeast corner of the park (Elwood Drive and Angle Lane). Notification will be provided to neighbors in the area as well as additional signage and safety markers. 017 018 Fort Steilacoom Park Roadway Restoration Project Bid Tabulation Bid Opening 2:00pm 3/8/2018, American Lake Room Alt 3- Waughop Alt 4- Angle Ln Barrier Base plus Base Plus Alternates 2&3 Contractor Base Bid- Waughop Rd Alt 1- Angle Lane Alt 2- Angle Ln Parking Barrier Curb Curb ALL ALTERNATES TOTAL CONTRACT TOTAL Tucci & Sons Inc 4224 Waller Rd Tacoma WA 98443 $644,000.00 $198,000.00 $66,000.00 $48,600.00 $14,025.00 $970,625.00 $758,600.00 1 Miles Resources LLC 400 Valley Ave NE 2 Puyallup WA 98372 $815,000.00 $303,890.00 $65,199.00 $58,320.00 $16,830.00 $1,259,239.00 $938,519.00 Sterling Breen Crushing 887 State Route 507 Centralia, WA 98531 $689,600.00 $206,000.00 $65,200.00 $114,300.00 $34,400.00 $1,109,500.00 $869,100.00 3 RW Scott Construction 4005 W Valley Hwy St A 4 Auburn WA 98001 $795,411.00 $225,568.00 $94,960.00 $25,920.00 $8,415.00 $1,150,274.00 $916,291.00 Midway Underground LLC Box 1107 5 Toledo WA 98591 $813,417.00 $200,000.00 $95,000.00 $64,800.00 $18,700.00 $1,191,917.00 $973,217.00 Puget Paving & Construction 10910 26 Ave S Lakewood WA 98499 $817,195.00 $224,895.00 $55,000.00 $69,984.00 $20,196.00 $1,187,270.00 $942,179.00 6 Engineers Estimate $793,772.00 $243,011.25 $88,146.25 $64,800.00 $18,700.00 $1,208,429.50 $946,718.25 019 020 021 022 023 024 025 026 027 028 029 030 031 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE ACTION IS TITLE: Amending Title 18A, the Land Use TYPE OF ACTION: REQUESTED: and Development Code, to broaden the  ORDINANCE NO. 678 March 19, 2018 definition of “flea market” to include both new and used items RESOLUTION NO. MOTION REVIEW: ATTACHMENTS: February 26, 2018 (Study Draft Ordinance OTHER Session); March 5, 2018 (Public Hearing) SUBMITTED BY: David Bugher, Assistant City Manager, Development Services. RECOMMENDATION: That the Mayor and City Council APPROVE the attached Draft Ordinance. DISCUSSION: Application: The City has initiated a settlement agreement with the Star-Lite Market Place Square, LLC, located at 8327 South Tacoma Way. Part of the settlement process requires a minor amendment to the City’s Land Use and Development Code, Application Nos. LU-17-00256 (ZOA text amendment) and LU- 17-00257 (SEPA Checklist). The amendment, if approved, allows a flea market to sell both new and used goods. The text of the amendment is quite simple, literally, it adds the terms, “…new…” and “…new and…” to three sections of the land use and development code [18A.20.600 (U.), 18A.90.200, and 18A.30.530 (D.) (37.)]. SEE NEXT PAGE. ALTERNATIVE(S): 1) Take NO ACTION on the Draft Ordinance in which case the status quo would remain; 2) AMEND the content of the Draft Ordinance; however, if the amendment were substantive it may require further review by the planning commission prior to the final City Council action. Neither of these alternatives is preferred. FISCAL IMPACT: Potentially, this action would reduce legal fees and potential liability. Temporary business license fees would be reduced although the overall impact on the business license revenues is nominal. Prepared by City Manager Review Department Director 032 DISCUSSION, CONTINUED: Application Process: Public/Agency Notice: The proposed action is a Process V Permit. A Process V Permit is defined as an extensive text or area-wide map revisions of the comprehensive plan, the land use and development code; zoning of annexed land and/or adoption of new planning-related ordinances. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.106, the City submitted to the Washington State Department of Commerce a copy of the draft ordinance. Surrounding public agencies, including JBLM, were also afforded the opportunity to provide public comment. This type of permit requires a public hearing before the planning commission. A public hearing before the City Council is optional (LMC 18A.02.565). Process V Permits have specific notice requirements: The requirements include: 1) content; 2) publication at least once in the newspaper of record and the City’s website; and notice must be mailed, posted and first published not less than fifteen (15) nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the hearing requiring the notice (LMC 18A.02.700). After adoption, the text of the action either in summary form, or the entire ordinance, must be published in the newspaper of record (RCW 35A.12.16). Environmental Review: The Responsible Official on behalf of the City of Lakewood has made a determination that this project does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement is not required under RCW 43.21C.030 (2) (c). This decision was made after review of an environmental checklist and other information on file. A Preliminary Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued under WAC 197-11-340(2) and became final on February 7, 2018. Review of Pierce County Countywide Planning Policies: Not applicable with this amendment. Planning Commission Consideration/ Recommendation: The Lakewood Planning Commission considered the proposal on the following dates: January 3, 2018 (Study Session); January 17, 2018 (Public Hearing); and February 7, 2018 (Recommendation). At the public hearing, there was neither oral nor written testimony provided. The Planning Commission made a recommendation supporting the amendment by the adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No. 2018-01 which is attached. LAKEWOOD MUNICIPAL CODE CRITERIA FOR AMENDMENT: Standards and Criteria to be Used by the Planning Commission and City Council to evaluate a request for an amendment (LMC 18A.02.415): A. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment is de minimis in nature and will simply continue to allow an already existing business to continue operations under a slightly different definition. B. The proposed amendment and subsequent development of the site would be compatible with development in the vicinity. 033 The existing business to which this zoning amendment pertains shall continue to operate as usual. The proposed amendment will not result in any changes to development outcomes because no development is being proposed. If development were to occur on this site in the future, the proposed amendment would not impact the site. C. The proposed amendment will not unduly burden the transportation system in the vicinity of the property with significant adverse impacts which cannot be mitigated. The proposed text amendment will not alter the existing site and should not burden or negatively impact traffic or circulation in any way. D. The proposed amendment will not unduly burden the public services and facilities serving the property with significant adverse impacts which cannot be mitigated. The proposed text amendment is negligible and will not impact public services and/or facilities serving the property in any way. Adequate utilities and services are already available to this area and site. The minor text changes impact the definition for the Star Lite Market Place only. E. The proposed amendment will not adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the city. The proposed text amendment is a minor word amendment to the definition for the Star Lite Market Place and will not adversely impact the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the city. F. The entire range of permitted uses in the requested zoning classification is more appropriate than the entire range of permitted uses in the existing zoning classification, regardless of any representations made by the petitioner as to the intended use of subject property. The proposed amendment will not change or expand the array of land uses that might be situated within the Commercial 2 (C2) zone in which the Star Lite Market Place is located. The amendment will be appropriate because the minor alteration to the definition will display more compatibility with the existing operations onsite. G. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the current zoning map or zoning district to warrant the proposed amendment. A lawsuit was filed and a hearing examiner decision was rendered which resulted in the need to make changes in zoning code language. H. The negative impacts of the proposed change on the surrounding neighborhood and area are largely outweighed by the advantages to the city and community in general, other than those to the individual petitioner. The proposed minor text amendment will benefit the community as a whole because it will establish a clear cut definition to the Star Lite Market Place which has been an outstanding issue for some time. There are believed to be no negative impacts which will arise from these minor text amendments. 034 CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS, FEBRUARY 26, 2018: There were questions from Mayor Anderson and Councilmember Bocchi concerning the impact this amendment would have on potentially expanding flea markets, or impacting existing secondhand businesses either for- or non-profit located throughout the City. The one example that was cited was Goodwill Industries International, Incorporated, which is located at 6002 Mount Tacoma Drive SW. However, other examples would include the Habitat for Humanity Store, 6030 Main Street SW, or the Treasure Chest at 11605 Bridgeport Way. Goodwill and Habitat operate existing conforming uses in the CBD zoning district; the Treasure Chest operates in the TOC zone as a legal, nonconforming use. Under the current code, Goodwill, the Habitat for Humanity Store, and the Treasure Chest are classified as “Sales of Secondhand Property Level 1.” This category allows for antique stores, used bookstores which do not constitute a sexually oriented business, used clothing, used furniture & appliances, jewelry & valuable coins, valuable collectibles sales, and antique malls where stalls are leased. So, what happens in the event these types of businesses were to sell new goods versus used goods, or new and used goods? Technically, under the zoning code, the use description would change to Sales of General Merchandise, or it is possible that the use type may be split between the two use types, depending on the situation. Flea markets & swap meets are in a different zoning use type classification, “Sales of Secondhand Property – Level 2.” They also have specific definitions which are distinct from the Sales of General Merchandise use type. The proposed zoning text changes would neither impact the existing flea market, nor result in the expansion of new operations. Further, it would have no effect on Goodwill, or other similarly related businesses engaged in secondhand sales. SIDE ISSUES: Number 1: For informational purposes, junk and/or salvage dealers, are not second hand sales. These uses are treated as Salvage/Wrecking Yards and Vehicle Storage Facilities Industrial use types. Used or pre-owned automobiles or other vehicles are not Sales of Secondhand Property. These uses are treated as Motor Vehicle Sales and Rental Commercial use types. Number 2: There are few large-scale, outdoor swap meets remaining in the Pacific Northwest. There is the SODO Flea Market which operates in South Seattle on the second Saturday of every month. The Sodo Flea Market is a collaboration of three existing businesses: Rejuvenation; Atlas Vintage; and the Fremont Vintage Mall. SODO is a “juried swap meet,” meaning they select their vendors. There is also the Fremont Sunday Market which refers to itself as a European-style street market. The market is year-round with about 150 vendors. Then there is the Seattle Indoor Market located in Tukwila. The site is relatively small and is located at the intersection of International Boulevard SW and 148th Street. Number 3: There is a pending pre-application to redevelop the Star-Lite Market Square property. If this application were to move forward, the swap meet would no longer remain in operation. Number 4: With the adoption of the Downtown Subarea Plan, the City Council can expect changes to the CBD underlying zoning classification. Your development staff has identified some areas needing clarification. More restrictive requirements or prohibitions to certain types of secondhand sales, social service use types, and/or 035 essential public facilities may be considered. The Downtown Subarea Plan policy document and EIS will be released in March. The modified form based zoning code is expected for release in early May. Adoption is currently scheduled for the June/July timeframe. 036 ORDINANCE NO. 678 AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of Lakewood, Washington, amending Title 18A, the Land Use and Development Code, to broaden the definition of “flea market” to include both new and used items.
