The <br />guidelines would support and complement the community vision described in the Tukwila South chapter <br />of the Comprehensive Plan. This document is intended to supplement and expand upon the design <br />requirements found in Chapter 18.41 Tukwila South Overlay (TSO) Zoning standards. This document <br />provides City staff and the public a common basis for the evaluation of design and development issues <br />during the design review and approval process. The Manual does not specify a particular style of <br />architecture or design but is intended to guide applicants in creating an appearance of greater <br />consistency and design quality within the Tukwila South Overlay district. <br />Design review requirements and thresholds per the existing code are as follows: <br />TMC 18.41.080 (TSO) Design Review <br />A. The Director shall require that all development within the Tukwila South Overlay district is consistent <br />with the policies of the Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the Tukwila South Master Plan, and <br />conforms to the requirements of this title and any applicable development agreement. <br />B. Design review is required for all non-exempt development within the Tukwila South Overlay district. <br />The applicant may submit a site plan for review for all or a portion of the area covered by the Tukwila <br />South Master Plan. Application requirements are provided by TMC Section 18.104.060. All applications <br />for design review within the TSO shall be processed as Type 2 decisions per TMC Chapter 18.60. <br />Prospective applicants are encouraged to schedule a pre -application conference as provided by TMC <br />Section 18.104.050 prior to submitting a design review application. <br />No changes to the design review thresholds are proposed. <br />Organization of Design Guidelines <br />The proposed Tukwila South Design Guidelines are organized by design topic.
