The existing 93,938 square foot primary building is a sprinkled metal structure with an F1 industrial occupancy rating. KCSWD is proposing to repurpose the Farwest Facility as a vehicle maintenance, a combined parts stores and general light storage, and office facility . The applicant is proposing a change in use at this facility in order to t emporarily relocate its vehicle maintenance operation from their Cedar Hills Regional Landfill Facility to the Farwest facility for approximately five (5) years. The change of use process would change the occupancy category to S1 vehicle maintenance and storage. The 5.63-acre site contains two (2) office modulars and the applicant is proposing to bring in two (2) additional office modulars to the Farwest Facility for additional office space. 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. No changes are proposed to the existing Farwest Facility parking layout. The applicant is proposing minimal tenant improvements to the existing facility and site to meet life-safety and other code required improvements. Minor facility adaptation to KCSWD’s requirements would be managed through the installation of KCSWD owned or purchased equipment which is intended to be removed and retained by KCSWD on departure. The project would pursue the use of an Oyster Shell Barrel Stormwater Treatment System to keep with the King County Energy Star Program and overall commitment to sustainability. The existing site is primarily flat, there are no wetlands, steep slopes, o r other sensitive features. No changes are proposed to the approved and installed stormwater, detention ponds, or landscaping, nor would any trees be removed from the site. No off-site improvements are proposed. Existing building layouts and floor plans would remain unchanged.
