Browse Search

1. Parking for a Use Not Specified The Director's Determination shall be based upon the requirements for the most comparable uses specified in the Off - Street Parking Chapter. Comparable Uses The most comparable use for a Live Work unit is a mixed use residential unit, which has a parking requirement of one stall for every dwelling unit. The applicant surveyed the adjacent Cities of Renton and Seattle and found that their respective standard is one stall or less. The applicant submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis (Parametrix, November 2012) that references the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Parking Generation Manual, 4th Edition. The Analysis shows less than one stall per unit for the peak parking period for the residential use. 2. Complimentary Use The Director may use his/her discretion in deciding whether to grant a 10% allowance for complementary uses. This project clearly will have a dominant use, which is residential with a total of 403 residential units. The remaining floor area will be generally 15,000 gross square feet of commercial space, a 10,000 square foot library, and 15,000 square feet of office space. This area of the City is encouraged to develop with a mix of uses. The types of uses are such that there is an expectation that site users will use more than one "business" while on the site. For example, on office worker will get lunch at a restaurant, a resident will visit the library, a customer will go to more than one store. 3. Shared Parking The Director may use his/her discretion in deciding whether to grant approval for shared use of parking. The proposal for the project is for the proposed six lots (A, B, C, D, E and the Library Parcel) to share the parking available throughout the five lots (A, B, C, D and E.) No criteria exist for the decision maker other than an assumption that the ability to share remains and works for the life of the project. Assurance can be given via reciprocal easements over the five lots for the users of the six lots. The City of Tukwila owns the property that will be sold to Tukwila Village Associates, LLC and to the KCLS. The Project has been envisioned as a mixed use project that functions as a whole. There are many references both within the DDA and the Development Agreement to sharing driveways, parking and other amenities and accessory uses in order to obtain a high - quality, pedestrian oriented development.
