Setbacks: front - 20 feet; second front — 10 feet; side - 5 feet; rear — 10 feet. Off - street parking: (TMC 18.56.050) The parking requirement for elementary schools is 1.5 parking stalls per staff member. For high schools, 1 space per staff member plus 2 spaces for every 5 students or visitors Landscaping: (TMC 18.52.030) Nonresidential uses in the LDR zone are required to have 15 feet of front yard landscaping and 10 feet for the side and rear yards. The required perimeter landscaping shall be Type I. Parking lot landscaping requirements are 20 ft2 per parking space, and 15 ft2 if parking is located behind a building. Building height and parking variances are requested; see Variance section later in the staff report. Landscaping requirements are discussed in detail in the Design Review section later in the staff report. :: ster" Foster High School exceeds the setback requirements, it's closest building edge 42' feet away from the 42nd Ave S. property line (front), and 48' from S. 144th St. property line (second front). Foster's required rear yard setback is 10', and the STEAM addition will be 145' away from the rear property line. Student enrollment at Foster High School is 878 students and there are 87 staff members. Assuming no more than 5 visitors are onsite at any given time, Foster is required to provide 440 parking spaces. Discussion on the parking variance request for a parking reduction from 440 spaces to 174 is discussed under the Variance section of the staff report. B2K1' The Early Learning Center exceeds all setback requirements, maintaining a 60' front yard, 125' rear yard, and 170' and 60' side yard setbacks. The elementary school parking requirements of 1.5 parking stalls for each staff member is appropriate. The revised Traffic Impact Analysis Report prepared by Gibson Traffic Consultants (February 2017) states that B2K is anticipated to have 43 staff members, and so 65 parking spaces are required. The site plan shows 73 parking spaces, thus B2K exceeds the parking required by the use. 3. The proposed use shall be compatible generally with the surrounding land uses in terms of traffic and pedestrian circulation, building and site design. The purpose of the Low Density Residential zone (TMC 18.10.010) is to provide low- density family residential areas together with a full range of urban infrastructure services in order to maintain stable residential neighborhoods, and to prevent intrusions by incompatible land uses. The proposed uses- schools - are often found in residential zones where the surrounding low density residential uses are more sensitive to traffic and noise associated with this type of use. Traffic from the schools will be similar to typical office traffic that has an am and pm peak, with occasional queuing expected. Outdoor noise associated with the outdoor play areas at B2K will 17 W
