(Attachment C) <br />2. Complimentary Use <br />The following definition of a complementary use is from the Tukwila Zoning Code: <br />"A complementary use is a portion of the development that functions differently than the primary <br />use but is designed to serve or enhance the primary land use without creating additional <br />parking needs for the primary traffic generator. Up to 10% of the usable floor area of a <br />building or facility may be occupied by a complementary use without providing parking <br />spaces in addition to the number of spaces for the principal use. Examples of <br />complementary uses include pharmacies in hospitals or medical offices, food courts or <br />restaurants in a shopping center or retail establishments." (TMC 18.56.070 (D) <br />Cooperative Parking Facility) <br />For Tukwila Village the residential units are considered the primary use. The applicant is <br />requesting that the City approve 10 % of the usable floor area from the non - residential <br />uses be considered complementary uses and therefore not subject to the parking supply <br />requirement. <br />Staff Report <br />L13 -031 <br />Page 5 of 12 <br />101 <br />
