The project site is zoned Medium Industrial (IM). The proposed tenant improvements would total 71,764 square feet for a food processing facility within the existing warehouse/industrial building (shell). Proposed business operations focus primarily on preparation of fresh fruits and vegetables with minor cooking operations as needed to create pre-packaged meals and sandwiches for retail sale off-site. Exterior work is limited to installation of ground and roof-mounted mechanical, electrical and refrigeration equipment as needed for the proposed operations. A trash compactor is proposed within a refuse/recyclable services area located along the eastern building facade. The proposal includes the striping of an additional 18 parking spaces on the southeast corner of the site. No changes in access are proposed. Exist. Bldg. Area SF: 161,320 Proposed New Bldg.

Environmental Impacts The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts: 1.Transportation Impacts: An updated Trip Generation Memo, prepared by Transportation Engineering Northwest, dated October 8, 2020 (Exhibit 7) was provided with the application materials. The submitted traffic memo provided an analysis of the trips proposed under the original proposal approved for 601 Monster Rd SW (LUA18-000237) as compared to the proposed trips that would be generated under the current proposal for Project Tiger at 701 Monster Rd SW. According to the submitted traffic analysis, the proposal would generate seven (7) fewer AM peak hour trips, six (6) fewer PM peak hour trips, and 118 fewer daily trips than was originally approved in the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared under LUA18-000237. As the proposal is anticipated to generate fewer AM and PM peak hour trips, no further mitigation is recommended. Mitigation Measures: None recommended.

The onsite contamination was reviewed and a mitigation measure was adopted as part of the SEPA MDNS that was issued for 601 Monster Rd (LUA18-000237), therefore additional mitigation is not required for the proposed tenant improvement/change of use. The proposal is an interior Tenant Improvement to create a new Food Processing Facility within a newly constructed Industrial building. Operations focus primarily on fresh fruits and vegetables with minor cooking operations as needed to create pre-packaged meals and sandwiches for retail sale. As a food production facility, the applicant will be required to employ standard hygiene practices and cleaning products required by FDA, USDA, State and Local regulations/guidelines. As this is a food processing facility, a health department certificate is required from the King County Health Department, and therefore no further mitigation is recommended. Mitigation Measures: None recommended. Nexus: N/A b.Noise Impacts: Short term construction noise impacts generated by the proposal would be minimal because bulk of work would occur inside the newly constructed building. Long term noise sources generated by the proposal would include HVAC and Refrigeration equipment as well as trucks arriving and departing. These noises will typically occur from 6AM until 5PM, and are typical of industrial type facilities. Therefore, no further mitigation is recommended. Mitigation Measures: None recommended. Nexus: N/A D. Comments of Reviewing Departments The proposal has been circulated to City Department and Division Reviewers. Where applicable, their comments have been incorporated into the text of this report and/or “Advisory Notes to Applicant.” Copies of all Review Comments are contained in the Official File and may be attached to this report.
