design should proceed the changes in Zoning as street design has a direct impact on site <br />plans for future redevelopment. By way of example, the Tukwila Village Building A was <br />set back from the back of sidewalk in order for the developer to build an access drive <br />behind the existing sidewalk that offers parallel parking in front of the building. This <br />design put parking in front of retail and on a separate street, which is like the design <br />currently in front of Appliance Distributors at 14639 TIB. <br />The traffic analysis is not yet complete, but staff saw August as an opportunity have a <br />work session with the Planning Commission on potential revisions to the Zoning districts <br />and uses that would implement CND's concepts and the community's vision for the TIB <br />area. The uses may need to change to more auto -oriented uses depending on the <br />Council's final decision on street design. <br />Proposed Comprehensive Plan & Zoning Map and Land Use Zoning Code <br />Revisions <br />The following are the major land use districts that currently occur in the study area. <br />(Attachment B is the existing comprehensive plan and zoning map of the area and <br />Attachment C is the existing Land Use table for the relevant zones): <br />- Regional Commercial (RC) - only occurs in the TIB neighborhood <br />- Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) <br />- High Density Residential (HDR) <br />- Mixed Use Office (MUO) - staff has identified the area along TIB to the north, along <br />the valley wall, as a place where change should occur <br />- Medium Density Residential (MDR) — there are small pockets of MDR throughout <br />the study area <br />- Low Density Residential (LDR) — bulk of the remaining area <br />- There are also two overlay zones in the study area: <br />o Commercial redevelopment areas that are intended to create larger more <br />redevelopable commercial sites by aggregating with the residentially zoned <br />parcels adjacent and "behind" the commercial parcels. This technique also has <br />the was implemented to eliminate the narrow deep commercially zoned lots that <br />front on primarily residential local access streets; and <br />o the Urban Renewal area is to promote community redevelopment and <br />revitalization, and to encourage investment that supports well-designed, compact, <br />transit -oriented and pedestrian -friendly residential and business developments to <br />activate the community along TIB. <br />The CNU recommendations focused on renaming the existing zoning in the TIB study <br />area to the following: <br />15 <br />3 <br />
