THE WOLF CE MPHNY <br />Since 1949 <br />May 16, 2018 <br />Minnie Dhaliwal, Planning Supervisor <br />City of Tukwila <br />6300 Southcenter Bldvd., Suite 100 <br />Tukwila, WA 98188 <br />Dear Minnie: <br />ATTACHMENT F <br />Segale Properties LLC recently requested amendments to Title 18, Zoning Code of the <br />Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) to set standards for residential uses. The proposed <br />amendments are intended to adopt development standards and guidelines for residential <br />uses in the portion of the Tukwila South Overlay District (TSO) which immediately adjoins <br />land located in the City of SeaTac to the east of Interstate 5. <br />The current proposal includes adoption of the City of SeaTac's off-street parking <br />requirement for multifamily development (SeaTac Municipal Code 15.455.120), which <br />stipulates the following: <br />Unit Type <br />Required Off -Street Parking <br />Studio <br />1 parking stall <br />One -bedroom <br />1.5 parking stalls <br />Two-bedroom <br />2 parking stalls <br />Under the proposed off-street parking requirement, the 96 -unit development envisioned <br />on this parcel would provide a minimum of 156 parking stalls, which translates to a <br />minimum of 1.63 parking stalls per dwelling unit. A mix of surface stalls, carport stalls, and <br />detached garage stalls will be provided on site. <br />The proposed off-street parking requirement is appropriate for the surrounding <br />community and is consistent with the vision of the Tukwila South Master Plan. According to <br />the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan - 2015 Element 9: Tukwila South, "Tukwila South is <br />intended to be a multi-regional employment center containing technology, office, <br />commercial, and residential uses". The multi -use nature of the surrounding community <br />creates a condition in which residents will have employment, education, and entertainment <br />centers in the immediate vicinity of the project site. <br />The proximity to these attractions increases the likelihood that residents can and will walk, <br />bike, take public transit, or ride share. The project site is within half a mile walking distance <br />of the King County Metro bus stop located at the intersection of S 180th St. and Southcenter <br />61 <br />
