g. <br />Varying degrees of privacy for the individual residents shall be provided; increasing <br />from the public right -of -way, to common areas, to individual residences. This can be <br />accomplished through the use of symbolic and actual physical barriers to define the <br />degrees of privacy appropriate to specific site area functions. <br />Primary common facilities are located inside the building or on the roof top. These <br />facilities include a clubhouse, exercise rooms and pet area. No private open space for <br />individual units is proposed. The entrance to the apartment lobby is separate from the hotel <br />entrance. <br />h. Parking and service areas shall be located, designed, and screened to interrupt and <br />reduce the visual impact of large paved areas; <br />There are a total of 208 surface parking stalls and 290 stalls are in the garage. The trash <br />enclosure is screened from view at the pedestrian level and from above. The loading area <br />in between the building and the garage is next to the hotel's pool area, but the applicant has <br />stated it is an opaque wall and there will be no visibility from the hotel's pool area to the <br />loading area. Additionally, the applicant has added a screen wall at the second floor hotel <br />patio to shield views to the garage and the loading area. <br />East -West pedestrian connections are provided from the parking to the building entrances. <br />On the north side this connection is provided by striping the drive -aisle area and along the <br />south side it is a combination of striping and a covered arcade. <br />i. The height, bulk, footprint, and scale of each building shall be in harmony with its <br />site and adjacent long -term structures. <br />Per the Development Agreement, the maximum height for 50% of the site is 190 feet. The <br />footprint of the main building is L- shaped and exceeds 22,000 square feet. The garage is a <br />220 feet by 125 feet rectangular building. The proposed height complies with the <br />Development Agreement provisions. Tukwila does not have any high rise buildings at this <br />time or code provisions that address floor plate limitations or tower spacing rules for light <br />and air allowance between the towers. The visual mass resulting from an unbroken L -shape <br />in plan and a continuous skyline that doesn't distinguish between the hotel and residential <br />towers could be mitigated by differentiating the north and the west facade of the main <br />building. <br />Page 9 of 19 <br />13 <br />
