bicycle options to providing transit tickets and passes." (TMC 18.43.070 Specific Urban Renewal Overlay Development Standards and Criteria) The City routinely administers TMPs through its Commute Trip Reduction Program, which is a program focused on sites with 100 or more employees. It is unlikely that this project will have an employer who is an "affected employer;" however, the CTR program could provide a framework for guiding and administering the transportation management plan for the site. Conclusions 1. Parking Standard for Live/Work Parking supply is per the City standards for all the residential units except the live work, for which there is no standard. The parking standard of one stall per Live/Work unit is comparable or exceeds the standard of adjacent jurisdictions and is consistent with the national standard per the ITE manual. 2. Complimentary Parking This large scale mixed use development is an exemplary project for demonstrated the potential to reduce vehicular trips. The ability to walk between multiple businesses or from home to business is the purpose of complimentary allowances. The design guidelines and standards for the area are created to encourage pedestrians to walk between buildings and uses and not to view the properties and their uses as isolated stand -alone fixtures in the neighborhood. Approval for the 10% complementary parking reduction is appropriate given the range of uses on the site, the differing peak parking demand periods as discussed in the Transportation Analysis and the potential for the internal capture of trips on the site. In addition, on -street parking will be available on the western half of the S. 144 Street block as part of Phase 1 street improvement. On street parking is currently available around the corner on 42 Avenue S. The parking on 42 Avenue S. however is not visible or obvious to visitors who are not familiar with the neighborhood. Surface lots across TM that serve commercial business will be obvious, which may result in some unsanctioned off -site parking. 3. Shared Parking Staff has reviewed the parking by phases and determined that when the development is complete, the project will meet the Zoning Code requirements for parking per the decisions above. Parking demand for special events could create a greater demand than supply. King County Library System (KCLS,) and the nonprofit organized to market and schedule the community space events, are users who will potentially have events that generate higher demand than currently considered. They will need to be involved in an association that coordinates the parking demand for all the site users. Staff Report L13 -031 Page 10 of 12 106
