Draft Chapter 18.28 Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) District <br />(1) Each frontage will be evaluated separately based on its Corridor Type's public frontage <br />standards. <br />(2) The height bonus will be applied to a percentage of the total building footprint(s) on site <br />based on the percentage of the parcel's total public frontage that, when averaged, meets <br />the public frontage standard. For example, when averaged, if one of a parcel's two <br />frontages meets the corridor's public frontage standard then 50% of the total building <br />footprint on site is eligible for the height incentive. <br />3. The maximum height in these locations shall be as specified by District. <br />D. Multi Family Height Incentive <br />1. As an incentive to construct residential dwelling units, allowable structure heights may be <br />increased to the limits specified in District Standards, Table 2. <br />2. Structures may be completely residential or mixed use with residential uses comprising at least half <br />of the occupied floor area of the building. <br />18.28.060 MAXIMUM BLOCK FACE LENGTH <br />A. Definition <br />1. Block Face length is a measure of a length of a block, in feet, from curb face to curb face of two <br />intersecting and publicly accessible streets (public or private). <br />B. Regulation <br />1. Development sites (properties or assemblages of contiguous properties) with a block face that <br />exceeds the specified Maximum Block Face length standard must construct new publicly accessible <br />streets in locations that result in the creation of city blocks that do not exceed the Maximum Block <br />Face length for that District. <br />2. For the purposes of determining Block Face length, alleys are considered as part of the interior of a <br />block. For development sites bounded by rivers or ponds, property lines along the adjacent water <br />body and pedestrian ways providing waterfront access may qualify as defining the edge of a block. <br />In no other case shall pedestrian ways qualify as defining the edge of a block. <br />3. New streets must be designed, configured, and located in accordance with Section 18.28.120 New <br />Streets. <br />18.28.070 PERMITTED CORRIDOR TYPES FOR NEW STREETS <br />New streets built to satisfy Maximum Block Face Requirements or built voluntarily by a developer that are not <br />shown on the Corridor Map, Figure 2, shall be built as one of the Corridor Types permitted in District <br />Standards, Table 2. See 18.28.120 New Streets for more details. <br />W: \Long Range Projects \Southcenter Plan \Plan 2011 \Book 2 \FINAL PC BOOK26.12.12with markups.dou Page 24 6/21/2012 <br />
