PERMITS/REVIEW REQUESTED: Environmental (SEPA) Review, Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit, and
Site Plan Review
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, King County Solid Waste Division (KCSWD), is requesting Hearing Examiner
Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan Review, and Environmental (SEPA) Review for a Vehicle Maintenance and Storage Facility
at the Farwest Steel Fabrication Facility. The Farwest facility is located at 201 SW 34th St (APN 1253800211) and the
245,243 square feet (5.63 acres) property is zoned Heavy Industrial (IH). KCSWD is proposing to temporarily relocate from
their vehicle maintenance and stores operations located at the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill facility to the 93,938 square
foot Farwest facility for approximately five (5) years as they redevelop the Cedar Hills location. In addition, the site
contains two (2) exiting operational modulars with approximately 2,756 square feet of office space. The Farwest facility
would be repurposed for vehicle maintenance, combined parts stores and general light storage, and office facility. The
primary function would be to service the KCSWD road vehicle fleet of approximately 75 transport rigs and a smaller
number of King County personnel and utility vehicles.
KCSWD is proposing to install two (2) additional temporary office and conference space modulars totaling 1,440 gross
square feet on the existing paved area south and east of the large primary structure. These modulars would be removed
as KCSWD exits the property. No changes are proposed to the existing stormwater, detention ponds, frontage, or
landscaping. Life safety improvements, seismic restraints, sprinkler system adjustments, and a temporary floor over one
loading bay would be installed where required. Primary access to the site would be retained from SW 34th St. The City’s
mapping system has identified the subject property is within a high seismic hazard area. The application includes a
transportation impact scoping analysis.
