accommodate forecast travel in the study area with the same travel times and approximately the same vehicle
miles traveled and is therefore consistent with the comprehensive plan.
B.
The proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto,
would not result in any additional impacts to adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods as the traffic
that would have traveled on the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension would shift to and be accommodated by
the 32od Avenue extension.
C.
Deletion of the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension will allow for growth and development
consistent with the Plan's overall vision and with the Plan's land use element household and job projections,
and will allow reasonable use of property subject to constraints necessary to protect environmentally sensitive
areas. The amendments, therefore, bear a substantial relationship to public health, safety, and welfare; are in

the King County Countywide Planning Policies, and the unamended portion of the Plan.
