on the Zoning Map attached hereto as Exhibit B and by this reference fully incorporated hereto.
Section 3. Ordinance Amended. Ordinance No. 1758 §1 (part), as codified as TMC Section
18.08.010, is amended to read as follows:
18.08.010 Use Districts
In order to classify, segregate and regulate the uses of land, buildings and structures, the
City is divided into the following use districts:
LDR Low Density Residential
MDR Medium Density Residential
HDR High Density Residential

Section 4. Ordinances Amended. Ordinances Nos. 1865 §4 and 1758 §1 (part), as codified at
TMC Section 18.10.010, are hereby amended to read as follows:
18.10.010 Purpose
A. This district implements the Low Density Residential Comprehensive Plan designation,
which allows a maximum of 6.7 dwelling units per net acre. It is intended to provide low
density family residential areas together with a full range of urban infrastructure services in
order to maintain stable residential neighborhoods and to prevent intrusions by incompatible
land uses. Certain LDR properties are identified as Commercial Redevelopment Areas (see
Figures 18 -9 or 18 -10) to encourage aggregation with commercial properties that front on
Tukwila International Boulevard. Aggregation and commercial redevelopment of these sites
would implement the Pacific Highway Revitalization Plan and provide opportunities to rede-
fine and create more uniform borders between the commercial corridor and the adjacent
residential neighborhoods.
B. Certain LDR properties are located in the Urban Renewal Overlay (see Figure 18 -15).
Existing zoning and development standards will remain in place, although multi- family
buildings would be permitted. The overlay provides additional alternate development
standards that may be applied to development within the Urban Renewal Overlay upon request
of the property owner, and if the development meets certain qualifying criteria. Urban Renewal
Overlay district standards would implement the Tukwila International Boulevard
Revitalization Plan through more intensive development.
Section 5. Ordinance Amended. Ordinance No. 1865 §7, as codified at TMC Section
18.10.055, is hereby amended to read as follows:
18.10.055 Design Review
Design review is required for all conditional and unclassified uses. Design review is also
required for developments in a Commercial Redevelopment Area that propose the uses and
standards of and adjacent commercial zone as well as development in the Urban Overlay
District.
Section 6. Ordinances Amended. Ordinance Nos. 1865 §8 and 1758 §1 (part), as codified at
TMC Section 18.12.010, are hereby amended as follows:
W: \Word Processing \Ordinances \Title 18 Urban Renewal Overlay.doc
RF:ksn 10/13/2009
Page 2 of 9
18.12.010 Purpose
A. This district implements the Medium Density Residential Comprehensive Plan
designation, which allows up to 14.5 dwelling units per net acre. It is intended to provide areas
for family and group residential uses, and serves as an alternative to lower density family
residential housing and more intensively developed group residential housing and related uses.
Through the following standards this district provides medium density housing designed to
provide:
1. Individual entries and transition from public and communal areas to private areas;
2. Building projections, level changes and so forth to effectively define areas for a
variety of outdoor functions as well as privacy; and
3. Landscaping and open space to serve as extension of living areas.
B. Certain MDR properties are identified as Commercial Redevelopment Areas (see
Figures 18 -10 or 18 -9) to encourage aggregation with commercial properties that front on
Tukwila International Boulevard. Aggregation and commercial redevelopment of these sites
would implement the Pacific Highway Revitalization Plan and provide opportunities to
redefine and create more uniform borders between the commercial corridor and adjacent
residential neighborhoods.
C. Certain MDR properties are located in the Urban Renewal Overlay (see Figure 18 -15).
Existing zoning and development standards will remain in place, although multi- family
buildings would be permitted. The overlay provides additional alternate development
standards that may be applied to development within the Urban Renewal Overlay upon request
of the property owner and if the development meets certain qualifying criteria. Urban Renewal
Overlay district standards would implement the Tukwila International Boulevard
Revitalization Plan through more intensive development.
Section 7. Ordinances Amended. Ordinance Nos. 1865 §12, 1830 §1 and 1758 §1 (part), as
codified at TMC Section 18.14.010, are hereby amended to read as follows:
18.14.010 Purpose
A. This district implements the High Density Residential Comprehensive Plan designation,
which allows up to 22.0 dwelling units per net acre. Senior citizen housing is allowed up to 60
dwelling units per acre, subject to additional restrictions. It is intended to provide a high
density, multiple- family district which is also compatible with commercial and office areas.
Certain HDR properties are identified as Commercial Redevelopment Areas (see Figures 18 or
18 10) to encourage aggregation and redevelopment of properties that front on Tukwila
International Boulevard. Aggregation and commercial redevelopment of these sites would
implement the Pacific Highway Revitalization Plan and provide opportunities to redefine and
create more uniform borders between the commercial corridor and adjacent residential
neighborhoods.
B. Certain HDR properties are located in the Urban Renewal Overlay (see Figure 18 -15).
Existing zoning and development standards will remain in place. The overlay provides
additional alternate development standards that may be applied to development within the
Urban Renewal Overlay upon request of the property owner, and if the development meets
certain qualifying criteria. Urban Renewal Overlay district standards would implement the
Tukwila International Boulevard Revitalization Plan through more intensive development.
Section 8. Ordinances Amended. Ordinance Nos. 1865 §22, 1830 §10, 1758 §1 (part), as
codified at TMC Section 18.22.010, are hereby amended to read as follows:
18.22.010 Purpose
A. This district implements the Neighborhood Commercial Center Comprehensive Plan
designation. Senior citizen housing is allowed up to 60 dwelling units per acre, subject to
additional restrictions. It is intended to provide for pedestrian- friendly areas characterized and
scaled to serve multiple residential areas, with a diverse mix of uses. Uses include residential
uses at second story or above when mixed with certain retail, service, office, recreational and
community facilities, generally along a transportation corridor.
B. Certain NCC properties are located in the Urban Renewal Overlay (see Figure 18 -15).
Existing zoning and development standards will remain in place. The overlay provides
additional alternate development standards that may be applied to development within the
Urban Renewal Overlay upon request of the property owner, and if the development meets

RF:ksn 10/13/2009
Page 3 of 9
certain qualifying criteria. Urban Renewal Overlay district standards would implement the
Tukwila International Boulevard Revitalization Plan through more intensive development.
Section 9. Chapter Added. A new chapter is added to TMC Title 18 to read as follows:

18.60.060 Commercial Redevelopment Areas Approval Procedures and Criteria
The intent of this section is to create a more uniform commercial district along the Tukwila
International Boulevard corridor that serves the space needs of mixed use or commercial
development that fronts on Tukwila International Boulevard, to allow and create developments
that are designed and built to better buffer the negative impacts of the commercial district on
the adjacent residential neighborhoods, to better integrate, where appropriate, the mixed use or
commercial developments with the adjacent residential neighborhoods. Development within
the five identified commercial redevelopment areas that is not in accordance with the
underlying zone's uses and standards may be approved by the BAR if the development
complies with the following criteria.
1. Uses allowed. The permitted and accessory uses shall be those of the adjacent
commercial district to which the residentially zoned properties are being aggregated.
2. Standards. The basic development standards shall be those of the adjacent commercial
district to which the site is being aggregated and the standards for the uses that are being
proposed.
3. Approval procedure.
a. In a Commercial Redevelopment Area, the BAR must review and approve any
development per the Tukwila International Boulevard Design Manual and the intent and
criteria of this section.
b. The development must include at least one parcel that fronts on Tukwila
International Boulevard and any number of additional adjacent parcels within the commercial
redevelopment areas. (Exception: Commercial use of property in Site 2, in the block bounded by
42 Avenue South, South 144th Street Tukwila International Boulevard and South 142nd Street,
must aggregate with the property on the north side South 142nd Street.)
c. The following criteria from the Tukwila International Boulevard "Design Manual are
augmented to include the following intent:
(1) to create streetscapes that are similar in setback, landscape and building heights
where development occurs across from single family residential:
(2) to create architecture that is compatible with desired residential character and
scale where development occurs adjacent to residential, the following elements must be
addressed:

(2) Allow multi family parking standards to be one parking space per each dwelling
unit that contains up to one bedroom plus 0.5 spaces for every bedroom in excess
of one bedroom in a dwelling unit.
(3) Allow the maximum number of dwelling units to be determined by the building
envelope as in the NCC zone, rather than a numeric density. Allow the developer
to determine the unit mix with the limitation that units contain at least 500 square
feet of interior floor space and allow no more than 50% of the dwelling units to be
studios.
(4) Allow live /work space on the ground floor to meet the NCC requirement for
ground floor retail or office space if the live /work space is built to commercial
building code standards with a typical retail store front appearance.
(5) Allow ground floor residential uses in the NCC zone in buildings or portions of
buildings that do not front on an arterial.
Qualification Criteria
The Urban Renewal Overlay District's proposed development standards would apply if
the owner /developer requests, and if all the following criteria are met:
(1) At least 100 feet of the development parcel's perimeter fronts on Tukwila
International Boulevard
(2) At least 75% of required parking is provided in an enclosed structure (garage or
podium). The structure must be screened from view from public rights of way.
(3) The ground floor along Tukwila International Boulevard must contain active uses
except for the width of the garage access.
(4) Residential and commercial tenant leases must prohibit parking on neighborhood
streets.
W: \Word Processing \Ordinances \Title 18 Urban Renewal Overlay Exhibit A.doc 1
(5) Residential development must encourage tenants to use a car sharing program and
make one space available at no charge to a car sharing program (if available) for
every 50 spaces on site.
(6) Development must provide amenities to enable a high quality pedestrian
experience (retail windows, pedestrian scale design along sidewalks, wide
sidewalks, pedestrian access through site, benches, art, landscaping and lighting,
quality of materials, etc.)
DISCUSSION:
The supplemental development regulations and criteria that accompany the Urban
Renewal Overlay District are intended to encourage a lively, compact, pedestrian- friendly
core, and ensure that the impacts of the desired development do not negatively impact the
neighborhood. The important aspects of the existing Neighborhood Commercial Center
zoning such as setbacks were retained, while additional criteria designed to both limit
negative impacts to the neighborhood and enhance positive elements were added.
Specific comments on the proposed supplemental development standards and criteria
follow:
1) "Allow building heights up to 65 feet in the Urban Renewal Overlay District.
The existing Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) setback standards shall be
followed per TMC 18.22.080."
Current NCC and HDR zoning permit a maximum height of 45'. Each developer who
competed for the Tukwila Village project expressed the importance of having the ability
to build to a maximum of 65'. This would allow construction up to four or five stories of
residential over one story of commercial use. Allowing additional building height subject
to specific criteria will help defray the costs of the desired structured parking and make
the new development workable financially.
As with the current standards outlined in the TMC Chapter 18 and detailed in the
"Tukwila International Boulevard Design Manual," buildings could be built up to the
edge of the property on Tukwila International Boulevard provided at least 12' sidewalk
and appropriate landscaping and amenities were provided. Depending on the width and
position of the right of way, the sidewalk might be wider than 12'.
Rear and side setbacks would be to the existing NCC standards. In the case of the rear
setback, a 20' maximum setback adjacent to adjacent residential zones could be added to
the existing requirement for a 30' setback on the neighboring residential property for a
maximum 50' separation between buildings. The existing NCC, MDR and HDR
standards buffer residential uses through setbacks and /or requirements for tiered
buildings.
W \Word Processing \Ordinances \Title 18 Urban Renewal Overlay Exhibit A.doc 2
The applicant has provided additional information summarizing Tukwila's existing
height and setback standards as pertains to the NCC, LDR, MDR and HDR zones located
in or adjacent to the proposed Urban Renewal Overlay District, as well as examples
illustrating setbacks under the "most intensive" development scenarios. (Attachment F).
Examples of "tiered" development is provided in the Tukwila International Boulevard
Design Manual, and Tukwila International Boulevard Plan. (Attachment G)
Protecting single family residential areas from the impacts of new, taller buildings is also
addressed. In addition to the separation provided by the required NCC setbacks, single
family residential is located either across a street from the Urban Renewal Overlay
District (i.e. 37 Avenue S., or S. 140 or adjacent to a wetland or buffer in an area that
is very unlikely to redevelop (i.e. between S. 144 and S. 146 just east of 42 Avenue
S.) Per Qualification Criterion #2 below, at least 100' of the development's perimeter
must front on Tukwila International Boulevard. This ensures that development will be
oriented toward TIB, and away from existing residential uses.
2) "Allow multi-family parking standards to be one parking space per each dwelling
unit that contains up to one bedroom plus 0.5 spaces for every bedroom in excess
of one bedroom in a dwelling unit."
Current parking standards require two off street parking spaces for each single and multi-
family dwelling unit which contains up to three bedrooms and one additional off street
parking space for every two bedrooms in excess of three bedrooms in a dwelling unit.
(TMC 18.56.065 A). Each developer who expressed interest in the Tukwila Village
project indicated the importance reducing parking requirements. Tukwila's current
multi family parking standards are problematic for some multi family residential
development because the costs of providing the number of required parking spaces per
unit makes the economics of redevelopment and new development very difficult.
The characteristics of the proposed Urban Renewal Overlay District, including transit
service and the availability of shopping and services within walking distance, enable a
reduced dependence on automobiles. Reduced parking requirements are consistent with
more compact, transit oriented development pattern that is desired for the area. Reduced
parking requirements are consistent with a transition to greater urban density as mixed
use development suggests.
Allowing the building envelope to set the maximum number of units may result in a
different mix of unit types, including additional smaller units, such as studios. Many
people who live in studios that are in pedestrian and transit friendly neighborhoods only
have one car. The current multi family and mixed -use development regulations that set
maximum building height and minimum parking requirements assume significant
reliance on automobiles. These development standards are less applicable for
neighborhoods, such as the proposed Urban Renewal Overlay District, with transit
availability, shopping opportunities for daily needs and a park, library, schools,
restaurants and other amenities within walking distance. As the neighborhood continues
W: \Word Processing \Ordinances \Title 18 Urban Renewal Overlay Exhibit A.doc 3
to improve in its appearance and amenities, it will become more desirable for compact
development and transit oriented living.
Although Tukwila applies the same parking standards to both single family and multi-
family development, it is not uncommon for jurisdictions to set multi- family parking
requirements below the typical single family standard of 2+ parking spaces per unit. A
number of communities use a sliding scale standard for multi family with a lesser
requirement for studio and one bedroom apartments and increasing for additional
numbers of bedrooms. A newer trend is to allow reduced parking standards depending
on alternative transportation choices available in the area. As a result, there is no one
"perfect" standard for multi family, and adjustments for different situations are
appropriate.
Tukwila's Current residential parking standards require one bicycle parking space per 10
parking stalls with a minimum of 2 spaces. All other non residential uses require 1 space
per 50 stalls with a minimum of 2 spaces. Given the Urban Renewal Overlay District's
proximity to services, light rail, transit and trails, as well as the request for reduced
automobile parking spaces, it is anticipated that bicycle ridership will increase, both for
residents and shoppers.
To accommodate additional bicycles, staff recommends adding the following criterion:
"One secure, covered, ground -level bicycle parking space shall be provided for every
three residential units in a mixed -use or multi-family development. For commercial
development, one bicycle parking space shall be provided for every 25 auto parking
stalls, with a minimum of two spaces..
3) "Allow the maximum number of dwelling units to be determined by the building
envelope as in the NCC zone, rather than a numeric density Allow the developer
to determine the unit mix with the limitation that units contain at least 500 square
feet of interior floor space and allow no more than 50% of the dwelling units to be
studios."
NCC specifies senior housing at 60 units /acre, but otherwise does not set a specific
limit on the number of residential dwelling units. MDR has a maximum density of
14.5 units /acre, and HDR's limit is 22 units /acre. Under the proposal, density would
increase depending on the building size, site configuration and setback. Setting a
500' minimum square footage per unit and limiting the percentage of studios allowed
is appropriate to the Tukwila community that desires additional density, but is still
suburban in nature.
4) "Allow live /work space on the ground floor to meet the NCC requirement for
ground floor retail or office space if the live /work space is built to commercial
building code standards with a typical retail store front appearance."
NCC does not currently allow ground floor residential, and requires that all
residential be above commercial. Allowing ground floor live /work space expands
W: \Word Processing \Ordinances \Title 18 Urban Renewal Overlay Exhibit A.doc 4
the options available for housing, especially as an interim use, but also keeps the
flexibility to return to commercial use when the market dictates.
5) "Allow ground floor residential uses in the NCC zone in buildings or portions of
buildings that do not front on an arterial."
NCC does not currently allow ground floor residential, and requires that all
residential be above commercial. Allowing ground floor residential further expands
the options available for housing on the smaller streets where commercial spaces
may not be viable, but maintains the liveliness of mixed use on the arterials including
TIB, South 144 and 42 Avenue S.
Oualification Criteria
The qualification criteria are intended to ensure that development design and function
addresses community interests. The Urban Renewal Overlay District's proposed
development standards would apply if the owner /developer requests, and if all the
following criteria are met:
(1) "At least 100 feet of the development's perimeter fronts on Tukwila International
Boulevard."
This is intended to focus development on Tukwila International Boulevard where
it is most appropriate, and away from the smaller streets.
(2) "At least 75% of required parking is provided in an enclosed structure (garage or
podium). The structure must be screened from view from public rights of way.
The requirement for enclosed parking encourages a pedestrian friendly environment.
Increased density should not result in large amounts of surface parking but it is also
important to be responsive to the significant costs of providing structured parking.
Cooperative parking may be considered if appropriate (TMC 18.56.070).
(3) "The ground floor along Tukwila International Boulevard must be active uses
except for the width of the garage access."
A range of active uses is highly desired add liveliness to the neighborhood, and
encourage pedestrian activity. This requirement will encourage creative site design,
but may present challenges for on small or irregularly- shaped parcels. Staff
recommends the following revision to provide some flexibility as needed to
accommodate specific sites:
"The ground floor along Tukwila International Boulevard must contain active
uses except for the width of the garage access when site conditions allow
(4) "Residential and commercial tenant leases must prohibit parking on
neighborhood streets."
W: \Word Processing \Ordinances \Title 18 Urban Renewal Overlay Exhibit A.doc 5
A check with the Municipal Research and Services Center indicated that this
provision is not practical, and is probably not legal. In the future, establishing a
Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ) may be another means to limit on- street parking, with
financial support from the building owner, and implemented by the Tukwila Police.
At present, staff recommends deleting the criterion as proposed above, and
substituting a requirement for the owner /manager to prepare a Transportation
Management Plan to encourage alternative to automobile use, including such items as
information about transit and bicycle options, schedules, and /or providing bus tickets
and/or bus passes. The Transportation Management Plan is can be utilized as a
means to limit the impacts of parking.
Staff recommends adding the following criterion:
The building owner /manager shall prepare a Transportation Management Plan to
encourage alternatives to automobile use, and provides each residential and
commercial tenant with materials that may range from offering information about
transit and bicycle options to providing bus tickets and passes.
(5) "Residential development must encourage tenants to use a car sharing program
and make one space available at no charge to a car sharing program (if
available) for every 50 spaces on site."
Car sharing allows tenants to utilize automobiles without requiring individual car
ownership or dedicated parking. In exchange for the reduced costs of providing
fewer spaces, developers can encourage the use of shared transportation by providing
a limited number of dedicated spaces.
(6) "Development must provide amenities such as the following to enable a high
quality pedestrian experience: retail windows; pedestrian scale design along
sidewalks; wide sidewalks; pedestrian access through site; benches; art,
landscaping and lighting, etc."
These are examples of amenities that shall be provided to make the mixed use and
commercial environment both functional and attractive. These amenities are
discussed more fully in the "Tukwila International Boulevard Design Manual."
REZONE CRITERIA:
1. The proposed amendment to the zoning map is consistent with the
goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan
The proposed zoning code and map amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan. As discussed more fully in L08- 081 Comprehensive Plan Amendment above,
Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan considers "To redevelop and reinvigorate the Pacific
Highway Corridor" the #2 priority of the four major objectives for the city. A zoning
W \Word Processing \Ordinances \Title 18 Urban Renewal Overlay Exhibit A.doc 6
amendment that establishes an Urban Renewal Overlay District and supplemental
development regulations and criteria is a needed redevelopment tool to implement this
primary objective and accompanying policies.
2. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with the scope and
purpose of this title and the description and purpose of the zone classification
applied for.
The proposed Urban Renewal Overlay District would retain and be consistent with the
existing Medium Density Residential (MDR) High Density Residential (HDR), and
Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) zoning of the seven -block area. The proposed
amendment would create an Urban Renewal Overlay District that would supplement the
current underlying zoning through new development standards that would apply only if
specific conditions and criteria were met. Important supplemental standards include
65'maximum building height with existing NCC setbacks, reduced parking requirements,
and maximum residential density determined by building envelope for MDR and HDR.
3. There are changed conditions since the previous zoning became effective to
warrant the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map
Changed conditions in the vicinity of the proposed Urban Renewal Overlay District
support future redevelopment and warrant the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map
and development standards. These include:

An Urban Renewal Area was established in 2000 per RCW 31.81;
Cascade View Community Park was developed;
Infrastructure upgrades and urban roadway improvements have been completed
from S. 154 to S. 139
City of Tukwila purchased approximately six acres along Tukwila International
Boulevard and is negotiating with a developer for the creation of a mixed use
town center called Tukwila Village at the intersection of S. 144 and Tukwila
International Boulevard. All of the developers who competed for this project
stressed the importance of being able to build to 65' and meet lower parking
requirements in order to ensure the economic viability for the project;
Light rail station opened at S. 154 with service to downtown Seattle, SeaTac
Airport (July, 2009). Additional bus service is proposed to the light rail station;
There is increased interest nationally for employees and residents to work and
live in pedestrian friendly, transit oriented neighborhoods.
4. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map will be in the interest of
furtherance of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general
welfare, and will not adversely affect the surrounding neighborhoods, nor be
injurious to other properties in the vicinity in which the subject property is
located
W: \Word Processing\ Ordinances\ Title 18 Urban Renewal Overlay Exhibit A.doc 7
The proposed Urban Renewal Overlay District and development standards will encourage
new development and revitalization of underutilized properties to improve the
appearance, safety, and desirability of the neighborhood along Tukwila International
Boulevard as discussed in the Tukwila International Boulevard Plan— Revitalization and
Urban Renewal. This redevelopment will benefit all properties in the vicinity. The
Urban Renewal District proposed development standards would apply if the developer
requests and if additional development criteria are met. The development criteria provide
protection for the neighborhoods, and ensure high quality development.
The neighboring uses, including those in residential zones, would be protected from the
impacts of new taller development through the existing Neighborhood Commercial
Center setback standards. Impacts to surrounding neighborhoods further limited since
new development is oriented primarily toward Tukwila International Boulevard through
1) requiring that at least 100' of the development parcel's perimeter front on Tukwila
International Boulevard (TIB), and 2) have active uses on the ground floor along TIB.
Single family zones further protected since they are separated from new development
either by a street or by location adjacent to a wetland.
Live /work space would be permitted on the ground floor, but only if it were built to
commercial standards. This would ensure the desired appearance of commercial in the
NCC zone, and would permit the conversion to exclusive commercial use as needed. In
addition, ground floor residential would be permitted in the NCC zone within the Urban
Renewal Overlay District, but only on buildings or portions of buildings that did not front
on an arterial such as TIB, S. 144 or 42 Avenue South.
The additional criteria encourage a good pedestrian environment by requiring high
quality pedestrian design features in elements such as wide sidewalks, pedestrian access
through the site, benches, art, landscaping and lighting.
As a means to limit the impacts to the neighborhood of possible on- street parking, the
original application required that "Residential and commercial tenant leases must prohibit
parking on neighborhood streets." Subsequent research determined that this was most
likely not legal, so staff is recommending that building owners /managers be required to
prepare Transportation Demand Management plans that offer items such as information
about transit, bus tickets, transit passes, etc. Establishing a Restricted Parking Zone with
specific parking requirements may be another strategy to consider. The budgetary
impacts of enforcement could be limited by requiring the building owners to pay for
parking enforcement.
Site development applications for SEPA and Design Review would address specific
impacts such as traffic, parking, impacts on abutting property and other issues.
Environmental review, design review with a Board of Architectural Review hearing and
public involvement would provide Tukwila a clear mechanism to evaluate any future
proposed development, and to mitigate potential negative impacts to the adjacent
properties and the community.

ZONING MAP AMENDMENT CONCLUSIONS
1) Consistency with Comprehensive Plan:
Establishing an Urban Renewal Overlay District, and a zoning map change
accompanied by supplemental development standards and criteria is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan policies that support redevelopment along the
Tukwila International Boulevard.
"To develop and reinvigorate the Pacific Highway Corridor" is the
Comprehensive Plan's #2 overall objective.
2) Consistency with Zone:
The proposed Urban Renewal Overlay District and supplemental development
regulations are consistent with the underlying zoning and the precedent set by the
Commercial Redevelopment Area designation.
3) Chanted conditions:
Changed conditions such as the establishment of an Urban Renewal Area in
2000, infrastructure upgrades, urban roadway improvements, the City of
Tukwila's purchase of six acres of property, and the opening of a light rail
station justify the request for establishing an Urban Renewal Overlay District,
supplemental development standards and criteria.
There is increased interest nationally for employees and residents to work and
live in pedestrian friendly, transit oriented neighborhoods.
4) Community interest:
Supplemental development standards benefit the community by encouraging
new development, while protecting adjacent properties, and existing
residential uses.
