11. In the MDR and HDR districts and other districts where multifamily development is permitted, a <br />community garden may be substituted for some or all of the landscaping. In order to qualify, a partnership <br />with a nonprofit (501(c)(3)) with community garden expertise is required to provide training, tools and <br />assistance to apartment residents. Partnership with the nonprofit with gardening expertise is required <br />throughout the life of the garden. If the community garden is abandoned, the required landscaping must be <br />installed. If the garden is located in the front landscaping, a minimum of 5 feet of landscaping must be <br />placed between the garden and the street. <br />12. To accommodate the types of uses found in the C/LI, LI, HI and MIC districts, landscaping may <br />be clustered to permit truck movements or to accommodate other uses commonly found in these districts <br />if the criteria in TMC Section 18.52.100.D are met. <br />13. For NCC and RC zoned parcels in the Tukwila International Boulevard District, the front <br />landscaping may be reduced or eliminated if buildings are brought out to the street edge to form a <br />continuous building wall, and if a primary entrance from the front sidewalk as well as from off-street parking <br />areas is provided. <br />Section 7. TMC Section 18.60.050 Amended. Ordinance Nos. 2368 §62, 2199 §20, <br />1986 §16 and 1758 §1 (part), as currently codified at TMC Section 18.60.050, "Design <br />Review Criteria," subparagraph C, "Multi -Family, Hotel and Motel Design Review Criteria," <br />and Ordinance No. 1865 §51, as then codified as subparagraph B, are hereby amended to <br />read as follows: <br />18.60.050 Design Review Criteria <br />C. Multi -Family, Hotel and Motel Design Review Criteria. In reviewing any <br />application for multi -family, hotel, motel, or non-residential development in a Low Density <br />Residential zone, the following criteria shall be used by the BAR in its decision making, <br />as well as the Multi -Family Design Manual or Townhouse Design Manual. Detached <br />zero -lot -line type of developments shall be subject to the Townhouse Design Manual. <br />Residential development on those lands located in the TSO with underlying zoning of <br />LDR, which immediately adjoin lands located in the City of SeaTac to the east of Interstate <br />5, shall also use the following criteria as well as the Multi -Family Design Manual. <br />1. SITE PLANNING. <br />a. Building siting, architecture, and landscaping shall be integrated into and <br />blend harmoniously with the neighborhood building scale, natural environment, and <br />development characteristics as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. For instance, a <br />multi -family development's design need not be harmoniously integrated with adjacent <br />single-family structures if that existing single-family use is designated as "Commercial" or <br />"High -Density Residential" in the Comprehensive Plan. However, a "Low -Density <br />Residential" (detached single-family) designation would require such harmonious design <br />integration. <br />b. Natural features, which contribute to desirable neighborhood character, <br />shall be preserved to the maximum extent possible. Natural features include, but are not <br />limited to, existing significant trees and stands of trees, wetlands, streams, and significant <br />topographic features. <br />W: Word Processing\Ordinances\TSO Zone Residential Development Stds & Design Guidelines 6-15-18 <br />MD:bjs <br />Page 9 of 15 <br />85 <br />
