Draft Chapter 18.28 Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) District <br />1. In instances where installation of required public frontage improvements as part of on -site <br />construction are found to be impractical for example in instances where the private frontage is <br />particularly narrow or fragmented, the property owner may pay an in -lieu fee covering the <br />construction cost to install the required public frontage improvements when they can be combined <br />with those on adjacent properties or as part of a city- sponsored street improvement program with <br />the approval of the DCD Director. <br />2.
