to 20% of their required landscape area developed for pedestrian and transit facilities upon
approval as a Type 2 special permission decision.
2 Required landscaping may include a mix of plant materials, pedestrian amenities and

special permission decision. Required plant materials will be reduced in proportion to the
amount of perimeter area devoted to pedestrian oriented space.
3 Increased to 10 feet if any portion of the yard is within 50 feet of LDR, MDR or HDR.
4 Increased to 15 feet if any portion of the yard is within 50 feet of LDR, MDR or HDR.

3. Perimeter averaging is used to reduce the number of driveways and curb cuts and allow
joint use of parking facilities between neighboring businesses.
4. Width of the perimeter landscaping is not reduced to the point that activities on the site
become a nuisance to neighbors.
5. Averaging does not diminish the quality of the site landscape as a whole.
1. Purpose is to enhance Tukwila's streetscapes, provide a light visual separation
between uses and zoning districts, screen parking areas, and allow views to building
entryways and signage.
and
b. One shrub for each 7 lineal feet of required perimeter excluding curb cuts or
