BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. Findings:
A. The Eastside Rail Corridor ("the ERC"), formerly referred to as the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe rail line corridor, is a forty-two mile railroad corridor that extends south from the city of Snohomish in Snohomish county to the cities of Renton and Redmond in King County, passing through unincorporated King County and the cities of Woodinville, Kirkland, Bellevue, Renton and Redmond.
B. The ERC is a regional asset that through ongoing public ownership can be managed to support the shared objectives of a vibrant, growing community, including building a world-class regional transportation and trail system that will meet a variety of rail and trail mobility needs and supporting the efficient provision of utility services.
C. In 2008, King County executed an interlocal agreement with the Port of Seattle to acquire a multipurpose easement over the ERC, and in 2009 King County entered into a memorandum of understanding with partners the Port of Seattle, Sound Transit, the city of Redmond, the Cascade Water Alliance and Puget Sound Energy. The interlocal agreement and the memorandum of understanding expressed a policy of dual usage within the ERC.
D. As King County moves forward with the fee purchase of fifteen and six-tenths miles within the southern portion of the ERC and an additional three and six-tenths miles of trail easement in the northern portion, and coordinates its usage with other property owners, including Sound Transit, which has a high-capacity transportation easement along the southern portion of the ERC, the county's commitment to the long-term implementation of dual usage with a high priority for both transportation and trail uses is reaffirmed. To ensure that awareness of this dual usage is maintained over time, it is critical to place signage at close intervals.
E. The ERC will be a dual use transportation corridor, which is a corridor that will provide for the co-location of motorized public transportation facilities and regional trail facilities.
F. The high-capacity transportation, regional trail and county wastewater facilities that are to be located in the ERC will be of significant public benefit and constitute essential public facilities. As essential public facilities, these transportation, trail and wastewater uses are subject to the requirements of the Growth Management Act, chapter 36.70A RCW. The region will work cooperatively to site essential public facilities in an equitable manner.
G. To maximize the efficient coordination of dual usage, it is essential that the executive not remove any rail track without first coordinating with Sound Transit and receiving approval from the council.
