Electric vehicle charging stations and parking spaces shall be governed by TMC 18.56.135. <br />5. Parking Reductions <br />a. New on- street parking spaces provided along adjacent new streets may be counted toward the <br />minimum parking requirement for commercial development on that property. <br />b. Parking requirements for development within 600 feet of the Sounder transit station or the <br />Tukwila bus Transit Center may be reduced or modified by the DCD Director as a Type 2 Special <br />Permission Decision.

The total number of <br />spaces may be reduced if it is demonstrated through a parking study that complementary uses, <br />internal trip capture or uses with different peak parking needs justify the reduction in number. <br />e. All or part of a development's parking requirement may be satisfied through payment of in -lieu <br />fees based on the current real cost of constructing a parking space in an exposed above ground <br />parking structure, when approved by the DCD Director. <br />C.

When access to parking facilities and loading areas are provided from front or side streets, the <br />maximum number of curb cuts associated with a single development shall be one two -lane curb <br />cut or two one -lane curb cuts for each 500 linear feet of street frontage. Shared driveways and <br />new public or private streets do not count against this total. <br />b. The maximum width of driveways /curb cuts is 15 feet for a one -lane and 30 feet for a two -lane <br />driveway. In the Workplace District, the maximum width of driveways /curb cuts is 35 feet. <br />c. On Walkable and Neighborhood Corridors, the curb cut design for driveways or private streets <br />shall match the height of the sidewalk to ensure that the sidewalk stays at a consistent grade <br />for pedestrians, with the apron dipping down to meet the street level starting at the planting <br />strip or tree wells (See Figure 34). <br />W: \Long Range Projects \Southcenter Plan \Plan 2011 \Book 2 \FINAL PC BOOK26.12.12with markups.dou Page 66 6/21/2012 <br />FEB <br />
