Development Agreement In March 2015, the Tukwila City Council approved a Development Agreement between the City of Tukwila and Tukwila TSD, LLC (the developer) for the proposed hotel at 90 Andover Park East (see Attachment D). The agreement allowed the developer to create shared parking stalls to accommodate required parking for the proposed hotel in the right -of -way of Christensen Road. The shared space includes a drive aisle, 14 new parking spaces, and a reconfiguration of the existing spaces for a total of 45 parking spaces, with 41 to be shared and 4 stalls to be reserved for non -hotel users. In exchange for the shared parking the developer agreed to do the following items: • Landscape the old cul -de -sac area and maintain any areas landscaped as part of this development. • Maintain the parking area (striping, paving, and signs). • Provide public and emergency access through the subject property. • Construct a pedestrian connection from Andover Park E to Christensen Road and the Green River Trail. • Pay $93,849 to the city for future riverbank restoration work. The terms of this agreement have been fulfilled or shall be conditioned as part of the building permit.
