M. Supplemental Standards <br />Special Corner Feature (TMC 18.28.220): The building is located on the corner of Tukwila Parkway and <br />Andover Park E. The northwest corner of the hotel features a 1 -story area with an indoor pool, adjacent to an <br />outdoor patio area with stamped concrete, benches, and landscaping. These features differentiate the northwest <br />corner from the other corners of the building, opening the area up and creating an inviting, human -scale public <br />space. <br />Landscaping Types and General Landscaping Requirements (TMC 18.28.230 - .240): The landscaping plan <br />includes all required information for proposed vegetation. Spacing, dimensional, and screening/cover <br />specifications are all satisfied. <br />Irrigation plans have been submitted and approved by the urban ecologist. The setbacks are planted with <br />sufficient shrubs and groundcovers to fulfill the landscaping requirements. Perimeter and interior landscaping <br />square footage requirements have been satisfied. The landscaping islands and trees provided within the landscape <br />islands are consistent with the code requirements. The City's Urban Environmentalist has reviewed and approved <br />proposed plant material to ensure appropriate species selection and spacing. A maintenance agreement for all <br />landscaping installed as part of the development (outside of the subject parcel) shall be instated as required by the <br />development agreement. <br />Open Space Regulations (TMC 18.28.250): The building footprint of approximately 17,000 square feet requires <br />850 square feet of open space. The open space provided on site includes the public plaza on the northwest corner <br />of the lot and the pedestrian connection from Andover Park E to the Green River Trail, exceeding the open space <br />requirement. 14 individual seats or 42 linear feet of seating has been provided in the form of seven six -foot <br />benches. <br />General Parking Requirements and Guidelines (TMC 18.28.260 - .270): The proposed project provides 98 <br />parking stalls, which is sufficient to fulfill the parking requirements for the hotel (a minimum of one stall per <br />room). Per the Development Agreement, all parking stalls within the right -of -way of Christensen Road shall be <br />for the j oint use of the hotel guests and Green River Trail users and at least four spaces shall be designated <br />exclusively for public access to the Green River Trail with appropriate signs. The parking lot meets requirements <br />for compact car stalls, stall dimensions, setbacks, curb cuts, access, and provision of pedestrian walkways. <br />Parking lot landscaping, layout, and bicycle parking are provided per code requirements. <br />The sidewalk detail on the building permit must be revised to conform to TMC 18.28.260.C. Lc, which requires <br />the curb cut design for driveways to match the height of the sidewalk to ensure that the sidewalk stays at a <br />consistent grade for pedestrians (see Figure 5). <br />L15 -0027 — Tukwila Holiday Inn Express Page 16 <br />Board of Architectural Design Review Staff Report <br />10 <br />
