INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Community Affairs and a s Committee
FROM: Jack Pace, DCD Director
DATE: January 23, 2008
SUBJECT: Townhouse Zoning and Su ivision Code Amendments
ISSUE
Should the Zoning and Subdivision Codes be changed to allow for development of zero -lot
line /fee simple townhomes on individual lots (lot lines would run through the buildings)?
Due to MDR and HDR development standards such as minimum lot sizes and side yard
setback requirements only condominiums or apartments can be built in our multi family
zones, though they could be built in townhouse form.
BACKGROUND
DCD has periodically been approached by developers interested in building zero -lot line or
fee simple townhomes. Developers think that there is a stronger market for this type of
housing on individually owned lots rather than as condominiums and the insurance
requirements for condominiums make many small projects unfeasible. Providing for an
additional type of housing ownership (townhouses on individual zero -lot line lots) would
expand the housing options of Tukwila's residents and provide multi family property
owners an alternative to apartment development.
In addition to the technical changes needed to create individual townhouse lots changes to
Tukwila's bulk and coverage limitations may encourage the market to provide townhouses.
Because townhouses are typically significantly larger than stacked apartments and
condominiums under the current code requirements fewer townhouse units than apartments
could be built on a given site, making them a less attractive development option.
The CAP discussed the proposal on April 10 and moved it to the COW without a
recommendation. They discussed a range of issues including the necessity for common
children's play areas, concern about blank walls and the environmental impacts of dense
development.
The COW discussed the issue on May 14 and expressed concern about assuring adequate
recreation and open space in future developments; the need for flexibility in offering a
variety of housing options in the City; the assurance that privacy will be considered for
adjoining single family homes that may be affected by tiered setback requirements; and the
importance of a design review process that involves the public.

The Planning Commission held a hearing on June 28 and recommended a few changes to
the staff's proposal. Specifically they recommended tailoring the Multi- Family Design
Guidelines to address the townhouse building type and requiring design review for all
townhouse projects by the Board of Architectural Review. Subsequently the Fire
Department requested two changes to improve fire response: limiting the number of
attached townhouse units to four (this would only affect HDR since MDR is limited to
fourplexes already) and requiring gates in private yard fences.
The second hearing was held on November 8, 2007, to finalize the Townhouse Design
Guidelines. Based on testimony received at the hearing, the Planning Commission asked
staff to review the setback requirements of adjoining jurisdictions, and continued the
hearing until December 13, 2007. After comparing the setback requirements of adjoining
cities, staff recommended not requiring a tiered setback for townhouses that are not
adjacent to LDR zone. Also, a definition of detached zero lot line dwelling units was added
and these were listed as permitted use in MDR zone. See Attachment A for the Planning
Commission's recommended changes to Zoning and Subdivision Codes to allow for zero
lot line townhouses.
ANALYSIS
Due to Tukwila's prevailing pattern of narrow, deep lots in most infill situations
townhouses would be perpendicular to the street, rather than the traditional row house with
stoops along the street and alley access behind. Below is an example of a typical market
driven design for ten units on an 80'x240' infill lot showing the dashed individual parcel
lines through the buildings.
See Attachment B for examples of townhouses in Tukwila and Renton. See Attachment C
for a comparison of Tukwila's current multi- family standards to townhouse standards in
other cities. The shaded cells on the chart are areas where staff is suggesting changes.
Staff circulated the discussion of proposed changes to a few developers who have
expressed an interest in townhouse development in Tukwila. Their feedback has been used
to shape the Planning Commission recommended changes which are grouped by subject
MD Page 2 01 -23 -08
Q: \Townhomes \CAP- 01 -28 -08 Townhouse.DOC
area and discussed below. These include both the minimum changes necessary to allow
platting of townhouse lots as well as additional changes that would bring Tukwila's
standards closer to prevailing market driven development patterns.
Subdivision Code
The recommended approach to the subdivision process is to follow Seattle's example in
treating townhouse and cottage housing projects similarly to a binding site plan. This
would apply lot size, lot width, setback and landscape standards to the original "parent"
parcel rather than the "unit" lots that contain the individual townhomes. This would result
in the same treatment adjacent to the neighboring properties while allowing a different
ownership pattern.
Other than that change both the short plat and subdivision platting process could follow the
standard procedure with preliminary approval, infrastructure construction, final approval
and then building permit. We would allow the building foundations to be constructed prior
to final approval along with the rest of the site improvements so that the lot lines could be
drawn accurately through the existing common walls. If the buildings are constructed after
the plat sometimes field conditions require boundary line adjustments to meet the as built
conditions.
MDRIHDR Zoning Standards
In addition to the technical changes needed to allow platting of townhouse sized lots the
Planning Commission recommends the following modifications to the bulk and coverage
requirements to allow for a more market driven development pattern and density closer to
what is achievable for stacked apartments or condominiums.
Setbacks
Setback requirements should be applied to the parent lot rather than the unit lots
since their purpose is to protect neighboring properties. The front and second front
setbacks would not increase for the third or fourth floors unless the adjacent
property was zoned LDR. The side and rear setbacks would not increase for the
second and third floor but would increase only for fourth floor or if adjacent to
LDR. This would still provide a buffer to the adjacent property while allowing for
consistent floor plans for the townhouses.
A new building separation standard would be adopted for townhouse buildings of
10' for 2 story buildings and 20' for 3 and 4 story buildings.
Modulation
Because townhouse units are generally narrow the existing modulation
requirements would pose a significant constraint on the design. In exchange for
shorter allowable building lengths (80' in MDR and 125' in HDR) the 4 foot
modulation requirements would not be increased for three and four story townhouse
buildings.
MD Page 3 01 -23 -08
Q: \Townhomes \CAP- 01 -28 -08 Townhouse.DOC
Development Coverage
It is not possible to achieve zoned density with a typical townhouse product under
the 50% development coverage limitation. Townhouses are typically twice as large
as an average apartment usually with 2 to 3 bedrooms and a garage. The
recommended 75% development coverage would be similar to the impervious
surface limitations common in other jurisdictions.
Recreation Space
Setback areas that are part of a private yard for an individual unit would be allowed
to count toward the 400 sq. ft. per unit recreation space requirement as long as it
measured at least 10' on all sides. Since the small private yards are generally
fenced the height of opaque fences along street frontages should be limited to 4
feet, with lattice or other open material allowed up to 6 feet.
Private yard that includes side yard setback area
The current requirement for at least 25% of the recreation space to be devoted to
shared children's play areas would start with developments of ten or more lots.
This would ensure that the play area is large enough to be usable and that there is a
critical mass of owners to share the burden of maintenance and liability insurance.
Detached zero -lot line units
The townhouse definition covers attached units, but there has been interest to
develop detached compact single family units in MDR zone. Staff is recommending
adding a definition of detached zero lot line dwelling units and permitting these
type of developments in MDR zone subject to design review approval and meeting
the recreation space requirements of a townhouse. The zero lot line type of
development pattern allows houses to be constructed immediately adjacent to one
side lot line (no side yard setback), coupled with an easement on the adjacent lot for
maintenance purposes. This helps preserve privacy and usable yard space,
especially in small lot areas.

Design Review
The existing Multi Family Design Guidelines booklet has a number of sections that may
not be applicable to townhouses, such as the common space guidelines, parking lot
standards and building separation requirements. In addition it does not provide
illustrations that reflect townhouse density or building types. See Attachment E for the
proposed townhouse guidelines with illustrations.

PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING
CASE NUMBER: L07 -024 Code Amendments
APPLICANT: City of Tukwila
REQUEST: Modifications to zoning and subdivision codes to allow for zero -lot line
townhouse development.
LOCATION: Multi family zones
Nora Gierloff gave the presentation for staff. Currently, in the multi family zones, there are certain
standards, such as minimum lot size, lot width and side yard setback requirements. When you
combine them you can only build either apartments or condominiums. You cannot have a townhouse
that you own between two party walls all the way to the ground with a lot line between you and your
neighbor.
Townhouses are a popular housing type and there have been some developers who have talked to the
City Council expressing an interest in developing this type of housing. The Council is interested in
knowing what it would take to develop townhouses in Tukwila. Staff compared Tukwila standards
with standards established in other adjacent cities that are developing townhouses. There are two
categories of changes that would need to be considered:
1. There are things that would absolutely need to be changed in order to draw the lot line through the
buildings.
2. There are other standards that would bring Tukwila's requirements more into line with
what other cities are seeing, which could encourage townhouse development.
Staff suggested if the Commission agree that some changes should be made, they may want to look
at some of Tukwila's standards to see if it would be a competitive place to develop compared to
other Cities.
Ms. Gierloff went over the proposed changes that are listed in the June 19, 2007 Planning
Commission Staff Report, Attachment H. Staff circulated their proposed changes to a number of
developers who have expressed an interest in land in Tukwila. Some of the feedback that she has
received from developers was incorporated into the proposed changes where appropriate.
There was a lot of discussion on the proposed changes and Ms. Gierloff addressed several questions
raised by the Planning Commission.
There were no public comments.
The Public Hearing was closed.
The Planning Commission deliberated.
Commissioner Peterson stated that if there is a need for a secondary fire lane access across single
family residential, a gate should be erected for passive protection. He pointed out that there is no
way to get one after the fact.
Attachment A
Commissioner Marvin expressed some concerns about the quality of townhouses, indicating he
wants them to be nice. He also requested that construction should not impact residents.
Chair Malina suggested it would be a great tool for the Council if staff provided some CAD
drawings of a parent lot developed with garages in the front and without garages. He also suggested
an example of a single unit with and without garage frontage be provided. It was also suggested that
a sidewalk recommendation be prepared for the Council.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO MODIFY AND
FORWARD TO THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CODE AMENDMENTS ON CASE
NUMBER L07 -024 APPROVING STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OPTIONS:
2. Make only those changes to the Zoning and Subdivision Codes necessary to allow
platting of individual townhouse lots and;
3. Make additional changes to the Zoning Code requirements for tiered setbacks,
modulation, development coverage and common recreation space; and
4. Modify the Multi- Family Design Guidelines with illustrations and design guidance
specific to townhouse development; and
THE PLANNING COMIVIISSION HIGHLY RECOMMENDS THAT OPTION FIVE
COMES BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, BUT MAY BE ELIMINATED AND
GO TO ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW AT SOME POINT.
THERE WAS ALSO INTEREST EXPRESSED IN ADDING A FIRE LANE ACCESS.

PLANNING COiYIlVIISSION PUBLIC HEARING
CASE NUMBER: L07 -024
APPLICANT: City of Tukwila
REQUEST: Modifications to zoning and subdivision codes to allow for zero -lot
line townhouse development
LOCATION: Multi family zones
Chair Malina swore in those wishing to provide testimony.
Minnie Dhaliwal, Planner gave the presentation for staff. She provided background on the
proposed changes and gave an overview of the draft Townhouse Design Guideline Manual, which
had not come before the Planning Commission. Staff wanted the Planning Commission to look at
and provide input on the final version of the Design Guidelines before going to City Council.
Staff also wanted to give developers who had not had the opportunity for comments at a public
hearing regarding some of the development standards, a chance to do so.
The Townhouse Design Guideline Manual addresses site planning, building design, landscape
treatment and miscellaneous issues. As a result of discussion, staff will include language
encouraging low grade parking.
Mike Overbeck, Developer, explained he is trying to develop property he has on 144 street and
is looking at economic factors to develop his parcel. Jim Barker, Architect, is present, to show
the Commission some examples of what might happen with the proposed setbacks. Mr.
Overbeck asked if a couple of Mr. Barker's examples could be noted in the report. He also asked
that the setbacks at the most stringent be 10 feet from the property line and 10 feet going straight
up, not having an additional setback for the second and third floor. He pointed out on page 3 of
the staff report that the side setbacks, (assuming that the parent lot is viewed as a whole) in
townhomes, would mean that the second floor would have to be 20 feet off the property line.
Whereas the first floor could be 10 feet off it. He stated
that in his seven years of Real Estate background and his searching for examples in King County,
he can not find a single example of a zero lot line townhome that has a tiered setback for
additional stories.
Mr. Overbeck said this is really in reference to lots that border MDR and HDR lots. He stated
that HDR lots are 2,000 sq. ft. and with the proposed setback that you really can not build a
structure that can be sold. Mr. Overbeck stated he is hoping to add to the community and bring in
some home ownership and that there will be a little more pride taken in the neighborhood. He
said to make this economically viable at all; he has to build three bedroom homes, at a minimum.
He asked if something could be adopted so that as developers they could come up with
economically viable products. He stated there could be 25-40% of the lots could be affected by
the setbacks. There were samples provided.
Jim Barker, Architect, helped Mr. Overbeck design the townhome project in the HDR zone. He
said the 20 feet side setbacks really hurt the design. The 20 foot setback does not allow for
building 3 bedroom townhomes. Mr. Barker passed around some samples with various setbacks
and listed some setbacks in other jurisdictions, asking that the proposed setbacks be reconsidered.
Mr. Barker answered questions and provided clarification for the Commission and staff.
Gary Singh, Developer, asked why the HDR zone setback has to go higher, stating if that is done
you do not have enough room left to build anything. He also stated if the rear setbacks are 10 feet
there will be a little more breathing room and it will be more economical. People can spend
money and it will help. He also answered questions and provided clarification.
REBUTTAL:
Minnie Dwaliwal stated that townhomes are a good thing, but she asked, at the same time what
we are giving up if you shorten the setback. She said the problem with this property is that it's
too narrow and no matter what code you write, there will be some issues with it. With the existing
code, landscaping also creates a problem for developers. The suggestion for this particular
property is to try and acquire abutting property that may be re- developable.
Commissioner Ekberg stated the existing setbacks for apal talents are being applied to
townhomes and a different look needs to be taken at it. He recommended taking the existing table
and making a new table called "MDR basic development standards for townhomes." Then, apply
two principles to that table:
1) townhome development adjacent to an existing multi development (an apartment) and 2) a
townhome development that would be adjacent to single family lots. He would surmise he would
like to see setbacks associated to townhomes adjacent to single family lots larger in size than
setbacks associated with townhomes next to apat tuients. An example was provided.
Minnie stated that staff will create a table for the Commission to take a fmal look at in
December.
Chair Malina asked that staff provide the Commission a broader view of townhomes and what
other jurisdictions are doing.
Case Number L07 -024 continued to December 13 public hearing.
DECEMBER 13, 2007 PUBLIC HEARING MINUTES
CASE NUMBER: L07 -024
APPLICANT: City of Tukwila
REQUEST: Modifications to zoning and subdivision codes to allow for zero -lot line
townhouse development
LOCATION: Multi family zones
Minnie Dhaliwal, Senior Planner, gave the presentation for staff. She stated that this is the
third time the case has been heard by the Commission. This third hearing addresses the
comparison setbacks of the neighboring jurisdictions. There was a detailed overview and
summary of the proposed changes on the new setbacks. Staff's new recommendations for
setbacks are listed in the December 5, 2007 staff report.
Since the last meeting, staff has added a definition for detached zero lot line dwelling units.
Minnie answered several questions during her overview.
Mike Overbeck, Developer, gave testimony on the landscape setbacks and the distance between
buildings. He handed out and went over, different lot examples, based on different setbacks, to
the Commission. He said his goal is to be able to come up with a zero lot line proposal that
allows developers to build as many units as the zoning allows. Mr. Overbeck expressed that he is
happy that the new setbacks proposed by staff allow developers to build more units. However, he
stated that there are two other problems. 1) Additional landscaping setbacks affects the zoning
for narrow lots
2) He also said that 20 foot setbacks between three story buildings create a problem using the
maximum space and creating an aesthetic appearance. The Commission was asked to strongly
consider a ten foot setback on three story buildings in the MDR between buildings so developers
can utilize the maximum space.
Commissioner Parrish asked Mr. Overbeck what he would propose as an alternative to the 10 foot
landscaping setback. Mr. Overbeck stated that he is proposing zero landscaping setbacks for lots that
are adjacent to the UDR and MDR.
Jim Barker, for the applicant, went over some documentation he provided on landscape setbacks
between buildings of different projects he has worked on. Mr. Barker stated that with staffs
proposed landscape setbacks developers aren't able to build as many units because the lots are long
and narrow. He indicated that other jurisdictions that he works in have landscape requirements. He
said as long as the developer provides the total landscaping that is required, they can move
landscaping around. The applicant proposes reducing the separation between buildings to ten feet
and recommended a total amount of landscaping vs. landscape setbacks. Mr. Barker asked that the
landscape setbacks and the separation between buildings are reconsidered.
REBUTTAL:
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING
Minnie Dhaliwal, Senior Planner addressed the issue the applicant raised regarding the narrow lots.
She said the first thing to figure out is how many long narrow lots the applicant is talking about,
which she determined was three. She said when the codes are written they are not written for
one specific property, hO\vever, staff wants to try and accommodate and make it work for
developers. She determined that there would not be a problem reducing to the ten foot setback
and going with a ten foot building separation up to three stories. Therefore, she said the Planning
Commission might want to reconsider allowing the change. Minnie explained Perimeter
Landscaping Averaging, which she stated is in the City's code. The applicant could apply for
Perimeter Landscaping Averaging and, if they meet the five criteria, the space would be more
useable space, as long as, the screening and buffer requirements are met. The option of not
having landscaping is not very attractive and would not provide high quality development.
Therefore, staff recommends leaving the ten foot landscaping requirement, \vhich is already in the
code and amend the building separation to ten feet for up to three story buildings in the MDR and
HDR. The landscaping setbacks for four story buildings would remain at 20 feet. Minnie read
the five criteria for Perimeter Landscaping Averaging to provide clarity for the Commission.
There was discussion and Minnie answered several questions.
There were no further comments.
The public hearing was closed.
The Planning Commission deliberated.
Commissioner Arthur stated that the Commissioners do not come up with guidelines to
maximize density for a developer for a specific property and he is reluctant to do so. He said it is
difficult to review the amount of documentation provided by the applicant at the meeting and be
able to proceed. He inquired whether staff had the opportunity to review all ofthe
documentation, and staff confIrmed that they had not. Commissioner Arthur stated he was
opposed to suggestions to eliminate landscaping.
The Planning Commissioners concurred with Commissioner Arthur and were in consensus with
staffs recommendations.
COMMISSIONER EKBERG MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE CASE :NUMBER L07-

TO BE FORWARDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL. COMMISSIONER ARTHUR
SECONDED THE MOTION. ALL WERE IN FAVOR.

18.52.060 Recreation Space Requirements
In all MDR and HDR zoning districts, any proposed multiple-family structure, complex
or development shall provide on the premises and for the use of the occupants a
minimum amount of recreation space according to the following provisions:
1. Required Area.
a. For each proposed dwelling unit in the multiple-family development and detached zero
lot line type of development, a minimum of 400 square feet (100 square feet for senior
citizen housing) of recreation space shall be provided. Any multiple-family structure,
complex or development shall provide a minimum of 1,000 square feet oftotal recreation
space.
b. Townhouse units shall provide at least 250 sf of the 400 sf of recreation space as
private. ground level open space measuring not less than 10 feet in any dimension.
tr. c. The front, side and rear yard setback areas required by the applicable zoning district
shall not qualify as recreation space unless portions are incorporated into private open
space with a minimum dimension of 10 feet on all sides.
2. Indoor or Covered Space.
a. No more than 50% of the required recreation space may be indoor or covered space in
standard multi-family developments. Senior citizen housing must have at least 20%
indoor or covered space.
Page 7 of9
b. The Board of Architectural Review may grant a maximum of two square feet of
recreation space for each one square foot of extensively improved indoor recreation space
provided. Interior facility improvements would include a full range of weight machines,
sauna, hot tub, large screen television and the like.
3. Uncovered Space.
a. A minimum of 50% of the total required recreation space shall be open or uncovered,
up to 100% of the total requirement may be in open or uncovered recreation space in
standard multi-family developments. Senior citizen housing allows up to 80% of
recreation space to be outdoors and has no minimum outdoor space requirement.
b. Recreation space shall not exceed a 4% slope in any direction unless it is determined
that the proposed space design clearly facilitates and encourages the anticipated use as
endorsed by the Director.
c. The Board of Architectural Review may grant a maximum credit of two square feet of
recreation space for each one square foot of outdoor pool and surrounding deck area.
4. General Requirements.
a. Multiple-family complexes (except senior citizen housing, detached zero lot line and
townhouses with nine or fewer units) which provide dwelling units with two or more
bedrooms shall provide adequate recreation space for children with at least one space for
the 5-to-12- year old group. Such space shall be at least 25% but not more than 50% of
the total recreation space required under TMC 18.52.060.1, and shall be designated,
located and maintained in a safe condition.
b. Adequate fencing, plant screening, or other buffer shall separate the recreation space
from parking areas, driveways or public streets.
c. The anticipated use of all required recreation areas shall be specified and designed to
clearly accommodate that use.
(Ord. 1872,914(part). 1999)
18.56.065 Residential Parking Requirements
A. Two off-street parking spaces shall be provided for each dwelling unit which contains
up to three bedrooms. One additional off-street parking space shall be required for every
two bedrooms in excess ofthree bedrooms in a dwelling unit (i.e., four and five bedroom
dwelling units shall have three off-street parking spaces, six and seven bedroom homes
shall have four spaces, and so on).
B. Each unit in a townhouse development shall have an attached garage with parking for
at least one vehicle or a parking space in an underground garage.
!h ~The Director shall have the discretion to waive the requirement to construct a
portion of the off-street parking requirement if, based on a parking demand study, the
property owner establishes that the dwelling will be used primarily to house residents
who do not and will not drive due to a factor other than age. Such a study shall assure that
ample parking is provided for residents who can drive, guests, caregivers and other
persons who work at the residence. If such a waiver is granted, the property owner shall
provide a site plan which demonstrates that, in the event of a change of use which
eliminates the reason for the waiver, there is ample room on the site to provide the
number of off-street parking spaces required by this Code. In the event that a change of
use or type of occupant is proposed that would alter the potential number of drivers living
or working at the dwelling, the application for change of use shall be conditioned on

I. SITE PLANNING
TOWNHOUSE DESIGN GUIDELINES
Streetscape The transition from public to private spaces
A. The transition from a pedestrian oriented streetscape to multi -story buildings should
emphasize pedestrian scale architectural elements such as porches, plantings of varying heights,
and use pedestrian oriented entries, courts, and lighting. It is possible to make the transition to
the site, building and individual unit in many different physical ways. For example, a sidewalk
could lead through a gate to a private yard and then to a porch before reaching the front door of
the townhouse. The most successful solution will consist of a combination of the above
suggested symbolic definers or other comparable mechanisms.
—B rn4 landscaping and architecture form a gateway.
Special pawns and entry sign.
Fig. 1: Project entry provides an immediate sense of high quality design.
B. Provide a clearly defined building or courtyard entry from the primary street.
1. Use distinctive architectural elements and materials to indicate the entry such as a change
in paving material, low wall, steps, trellis, or arbor.
Q \Townhomes\MFamilyDesGuide.doc 1 Nov 1, 2007
Attachment E
2. Define the transition space from the sidewalk to the entry with a terrace, plaza, or
landscaped area.
3. Consider turning the end unit (or pair of units) to face the public street, see Figure 20.
Natural Environment Retain natural site amenities
C. Incorporate existing healthy and attractive vegetation into project design by locating buildings
to maximize significant tree retention on slopes, retain tree stands, and minimize disturbance of
sensitive areas. Retaining large stature trees and tree stands on site very significantly improves
the integration of new developments into Tukwila's mature neighborhoods.
Fig. 2: Site buildings and roads to retain mature trees.
D. Landform grading should be used when feasible to reflect the natural topography and retain
mature trees.

E. Site coverage on slopes should be minimized to reduce visual impact. Site coverage
limitations are not as significant on flat sites where lower buildings may be preferable to
maximize architectural harmony with nearby structures and the streetscape.
F. Site design should be integrated with the neighborhood. Project design integration should
include coordination of circulation, landscaping, recreation spaces, and building location with the
surrounding area. A visual distinction using landfolui, landscaping, or materials may separate a
project from the general neighborhood. However, high "fortress" walls should be avoided and
buildings should not turn their backs to the street.
G. A comprehensive system of pedestrian sidewalks should link all building/unit entries, parking
lots, recreation areas and the project entries with the area -wide sidewalk system.
H. Sidewalks should be a minimum of six feet wide between public roadway and the junction
where pedestrian traffic begins to disperse. This would allow one pedestrian to pass another and
remain on the sidewalk A minimum four foot wide sidewalk may then be acceptable.
3 Nov 1, 2007
I. Sidewalk crossings of on -site roadways should be distinguished by a different material and
slightly raised to prevent runoff from flowing across them.
Circulation Vehicular

J. Buildings should be separated at least 8 feet from driveways and parking spaces where facing
windowed walls (but not the entry) of ground units and have a minimum 13 foot separation when
facing the entry of ground units.
K. Separate buildings from common walkways by at least 8 feet in the structure's front and rear,
and a minimum 4 feet on its side.
L. Separation guidelines do not apply to incidental structures such as trellises, 18 inch roof
eaves, chimneys, covered walks, and pedestrian oriented amenities.
M. Design the on -site vehicle circulation system as follows:
A maximum of two vehicle access points, depending on parcel characteristics and
difficulty of access, to reduce traffic impacts and the site area devoted to roads instead of
architecture and landscape /recreation space,
Create very low volume cul -de -sacs to allow multiple use as street oriented
social/recreation areas, and
Stress shared driveways between adjacent developments.
4 Nov I. 2007
Parking
N. Locate parking to minimize conflicts between autos and pedestrians. Driveways should avoid
crossing pedestrian walkways and paths from residence to children's play area. In large parking
lots, provide pedestrian walkways to allowing people to move safely. Additional space should be
provided where cars overhang curbs.
0. Separate driveway parking areas with landscape islands to create an individual unit entry and
reduce the appearance of large areas of paving.
Fig. 5: Separation of driveways with landscape islands.
P. Provide the majority of the required parking spaces in attached garages (tandem parking
allowed), underground parking, and underbuilding parking when grades permit at least partial
screening
Q Minimize the prominence of surface parking by using architecture and landscaping to break
up or screen parking areas, moving parking to the side or rear, and breaking up large parking
areas into smaller ones.
Q: \Townhomes\M FamilyDesGuide. doc
-5- Nov 1, 2007
Fig. 6: Parking located so that it is screened by buildings.
R. Supplemental parking areas should be located within 200 feet of the farthest dwelling unit
served for the convenience of residents.
S. The optimum design for a parking area is not necessarily the one which parks the maximum
number of vehicles, but the one that also provides ample stall and aisle widths, pedestrian walks,
adequate turning radii, reasonable grades, efficient movement of traffic, pleasant appearance, and
convenient location.
T. Four to six space parking lots are pedestrian and human in character, while over twelve cars
become car dominated. The critical number seems to be ten. This marks the breaking point
between a human lot and a sea of cars. Small lots can be accomplished by breaking large parking
areas into sections that serve no more than 10 to 12 cars. Landscape islands and areas should be
located to protect cars as well as to break up seas of asphalt.
Solar Orientation
U. To maximize the warming effect of solar radiation in winter months and maximize shade in
the summer months:
1. Utilize deciduous trees for summer shade and winter sun
2. Orient active living spaces to the south.
3. Design building overhangs to shield the high summer sun and expose the area to the
lower winter sun.
Q:\Townhomes\MFamilyDesGuide.doc
6 Nov 1, 2007
Crime Prevention
V. Employ the Concept of Defensible Space to reduce opportunities for crime. "Defensible
space" is a term used to describe a series of physical design characteristics that maximizes
resident control ofbehavior--particularly crime. A residential development designed under
defensible space guidelines clearly defines all areas as either public, semi-private or private. In
so doing, it determines who has the right to be in each space, and allows residents to be confident
in responding to any questionable activity or persons within their complex. Residents are thus
encouraged to extend their private realms, establish their zone of influence which inevitably
results in a heightened sense of responsibility towards the care and maintenance of these outdoor
areas.
W. The following series oftechniques can be used to create defensible space and consequently
reduce crime. They are summarized in:
. DefIning zones of privacy (public, semi-private, private) with real or symbolic barriers.
This allows residents to identify "strangers".
. Establishing perceived zones of influence (allowing residents to extend their private
realms).
. Providing surveillance opportunities.
Additional design considerations include the following:
. Orient windows so that areas vulnerable to crime can be easily surveyed by residents.
. Locate mailboxes, garbage collection enclosures and common play areas in such a way
that they are easily observed by others. Mailboxes should not be located in dark alcoves
out of sight
. Establish a system for identifying the location of each residential unit and common
facilities at the project entry.
. Lighting. More light is not necessarily indicative of better and safer lighting. Lighting
levels should be carefully selected and oriented so that areas vulnerable to crime are
accented. Provide lighting in areas of heavy pedestrian or vehicular traffIc and in areas
which are dangerous ifunlit, such as stairs and ramps, intersections or where abrupt
changes in grade occur. Areas that have high crime potential should be well lighted so
that people traveling through them at night may feel secure.
. Locate plant materials such as high shrubs so that surveillance of semi-public and semi-
private areas is not blocked. This will provide the opportunity for crime.
. Use visually open fencing materials such as wrought iron bars or wooden pickets to
defIne space between the street and building.
X. Sticker shrubs may discourage crime activities. Low shrubs and umbrella trees (where the
canopy is maintained above 5 feet from the ground) will allow surveillance opportunities, hence
reducing the potential for criminal behavior.

II. BUILDING DESIGN
Neighborhood Compatibility
A. Minimize the appearance of building scale differences between proposed townhouses and
existing neighborhood residential units that conform to current zoning Portions of multi family
developments adjoining areas zoned for single family should maintain a scale, facade and
orientation similar to single family uses for compatibility with existing structures. A project site
plan and cross sections should show the footprint of all adjacent structures within 100 feet of the
property line to help evaluate compatibility.

Fig. 7: Incorporation of elements from neighboring structures into townhouse design.
B. Reflect the architectural character of neighboring residences (within 300' on the same street)
where it provides a positive example through use of related building features including
scale /mass, height, the proportions of entries, windows and other openings (fenestration), color,
materials, and shapes.
1. Step the roof on the building perimeter segments to transition between a proposed taller
building and an existing residential structure.
2. Replicate or approximate roof fauns and pitch found on existing residential structures in
the neighborhood.
3. Use window patterns and proportions similar to those on existing residential structures in
the neighborhood.
4. Use building facade materials similar to those used on existing residential buildings in the
neighborhood.
5. Maintain a consistent relationship to the street (i.e., building setbacks and entryways) as
existing buildings.

D. Townhouse units shall have an individual entrance, with entrance vestibules, canopies or
porches to give identity to each 1 nit and provide weather protection. The main entrance to units
adjacent to a public street shall be accessed from and face the street.
Fig. 10 Individual entry porch.
Building Elevations
E. Attached townhouses shall read as a unified building mass, maintaining a common
architectural language across the entire length of units. This mass shall be varied by changes in
unit orientation, color /material variations, shifts in roof profile, and variation at corner units.
Windows, bays, balconies, and other articulation could also be used to express the individuality
of each unit.
Q: \Townhomes\MFami lyDesGuide.doc

F. Each building shall incorporate treatments that "complete" the end and comer units, including:
1. an extended base or ground floor units
2. a protrusion, porch or bay that wraps the comer; or
3. an embedded comer tower
Fig. 11: Expressing individual units through modulation and roof forms.
G. A 3-story blank wall, even if at the narrow end of a building, does not reflect acceptable
design quality. Use architectural relief and fine detailing to break up monotonous surfaces.
H. Avoid applied ornamentation which is not related to building structure or architectural design.
This would include arbitrary, inconsistent forms and decoration; uninterrupted floating
horizontal elements; and large blank surfaces.
Windows
1. Provide relief, detail, and visual rhythm on the facade with well-proportioned windows.
1. Use window patterns, proportions, and orientation consistent with neighboring
residences.
2. Use multiple-pane windows.
3. Provide windows that are designed to create shadows (either deeply recessed or
protruding).
4. Use visually significant window elements (i.e. frame dimensions, lintels, casings, sills,
and trim.
5. Locate windows so that the occupants from one residence cannot look directly into an
adjacent residence.

Roofline
Fig. 13: Roof foiiii variation.
J. Vary the roofline along the building length to reflect individual units. This can be achieved
using:
separate roof forms
a combination of roof types, such as shed, gabled and hipped roofs)
gables and dormers
K. Pitched and continuous sloping roof forms are encouraged. Where flat roofs are used, they
should be detailed with parapets or roof overhangs, and detailed with brackets, corbels or other
decorative supports.
Q \Townhomes\MFamilyDesGuide.doc 13 Nov 1, 2007
Building Massing
L. More prominent sites and buildings require a higher level of design quality. This would
include projects which are located near hill tops or intersections, or which include large visible
building masses.
M. Use building and roof modulation and articulation to reduce the appearance of large building
masses.
1. Modulate the building facade with features such as porches, balconies, building wall
relief, and bay windows.
2. Provide roof elements such as gables, eyebrow roof forms or dormers.
3. Incorporate prominent cornice, soffit, or fascia details that emphasize the top of the
building.
4. Provide prominent roof overhangs.
5. Articulate the roof with rafter tails and brackets.
Fig. 14: Differentiation of individual units through color, material and roof forms.
Material and Colors
N. Construct building exteriors of durable and maintainable materials that are attractive even
when viewed up close. Use building materials that have texture, pattern, or lend themselves to a
high quality of detailing. Appropriate materials are horizontal lap siding, shingles, brick, stone,
stucco, ceramic or terra cotta tile.
O. Use a variety of complementary colors on building exteriors. Reserve brightly saturated
colors for accent or trim features.
Garage Design
P. Design garages and carports so that they do not dominate the dwelling's facade.
1. Locate garages and carports behind residences, stepped back from the building's street
facade, or provide a side entry (perpendicular to the street).
2. Design driveways to be as narrow as possible and/or shared ",,"here possible to

minimize impervious surface and to minimize disruption of the sidewalk and planting
strip by curb cuts.
3. Incorporate windows into garage sidewalls whenever they face the street so that they
appear to contain habitable space.
4. Incorporate garage door elements which reduce the apparent size of the doors, such as
panels and windows.
5. Use materials and colors that match the residence.
Fig. 15: Side entry garage with windows.
ill. LANDSCAPE/SITE TREATMENT
Landscape Design
A. Plants can be used to curtail erosion, to soften the built environment, define or emphasize
open space, give privacy, block wind and lessen the effects of solar radiation.
B. Although the landscape plan should reflect plants at maturity, landscaping should be
considered as a design element harmonizing site plans and building design only to the extent of
its effect in five years. This could mean using significantly larger initial plant stock for those
project designs which rely heavily upon landscaping to provide relief for building and site design
or screen the proj ect.
C. Select and site landscape materials to produce a hardy and drought-resistant landscape area
consistent with project design. Selection should include consideration of soil type and depth,
spacing, exposure to sun and wind, slope and contours of the site, building walls and overhangs,
and compatibility of new plant material with existing vegetation to be preserved on the site.
Q:\ T ownhomeslJvlFamiIyDesGuide.doc
- 15 -
Nov 1,2007
D. Install all plant materials to current nursery industry standards. Landscape plant material
should be properly guyed and staked to current industry standards. Planting of trees in
compacted soils is prohibited unless minimum 12 inch gravel drain sumps are installed under
each tree to a minimum of 36 inch depth, or the sub grade soil beyond the planting pit is rototilled
to a 9 inch depth to the drip line or edge of planter, whichever is less.
E. Plant shrubs used to defme spaces or separate environments as a staggered double row
whenever possible. This provides the significant depth especially necessary to separate
environments such as parking areas from grassed fields and building entries.
F. Limit shrub beds to a maximum of two feet wide per typical row of nursery stock plants, in
order to minimize barked area and maximize live ground cover. A typical five foot wide barked
planting bed for a single row of shrubs is not acceptable.
Protection of Existing Trees
G. The survival and general health of a tree depends as much on the condition of its root system
as it does on the factors influencing the above-ground portion. This vital root system extends out
to, and sometimes beyond the tree's drip line (the outermost reach of branches). Any significant
disturbance to the root area, such as high surface compaction, root severing, over-watering
and/or removal of organic material in which the tree has composted over several years, will
almost certainly kill the tree. Tree removal and replacement would be required after a few
seasons of progressive deterioration.
H. Protect significant trees during construction with a chain-link fence or plastic vinyl
construction fence at the drip line. Install the protection fence prior to issuance of grading permit.
Removal or destruction of fencing should be cause for a Stop Work Order until reviewed by City
staff.

Design for Screening and Separation
1. Full privacy requires an opaque fence or evergreen barrier at least six feet high or above eye
level, depending on the angle of view. Noise reduction requires a dense fence (i.e.,
concrete/masonry) wall or berm in addition to plantings.
J. Area separation requires a continuous physical barrier not less than three feet high. A greater
degree of separation would require a higher opaque barrier. A separation planting strip could be
deciduous or evergreen.
K. Provide a privacy fence along side and rear yards if adjoining single family zoning. This
should be 6 feet high sight-obscuring wood (or equivalent) fence with exterior materials and
colors consistent with building architecture.
Outdoor Space Design
L. Outdoor space tends to be unusable when it is simply the "leftovers" after buildings are placed
on the land. Outdoor spaces should have a defInite functional shape, be internally designed to
fulfIll that function, and be functionally associated with a specific unit or unit group (see
"Defensible Space" in Site Plan guidelines).
M. Complexes with 10 or more units must provide an on-site recreation space for children with
at least one area designed for children aged 5-12, see TMC 18.52.060. This area should be
characterized by interactive group equipment which tests skills. The Parks and Recreation
Director should be consulted in the review of acceptable design proposals.
N. The child play area should reflect the design elements below:
1. Visually accessible to casual surveillance by passersby and residents. This is a key
element in facility safety and generally requires a central location.
2. Provide separation of play areas from general passersby for security.
3. Easy safe access from residence to play area(s)
4. Hard surface areas for wheeled toys and tricycles.
5. Equipment with zones to satisfy the specific sensory and skill needs up to age 12.
6. Use water and sand iflimited to two materials. These provide more possibilities for play
and fun than all asphalt deserts combined. The ability to move over, under, around or
through something. affords a child control. He can change his relationship to it.
7. A child should be able to control his level of involvement with others. Make small
sheltered areas for solitary play, larger spaces .for group play.
8. An adjacent sitting area for monitoring the children.

and skill testing.
O. Linkages with existing public trail and park facilities should be made where possible, either
through immediate construction or agreement to jointly participate in the coordinated provision
of such a linkage at a later date.
IV. MISCELLANEOUS STRUCTURES/STREET FURNITURE
Lighting
A. Reflect project architectural design considerations in all exterior lighting (i.e., distribution,
intensity, and pattern).
B. Maximum parking area light standard height is 20 feet or the height of the building;
whichever is less.

a sense of scale and enclosure for common areas at night.
Q:\ Townhomes\.MFamilyDesGuide,doc
- 18 -
Noy 1,2007
D. Provide all lighting standards with glare cut -off features to avoid off -site spill -over.
E. Place fixtures so that light patterns overlap at a height of 7 feet which is sufficiently high to
vertically illuminate a person's body.
F. At hazardous locations, such as changes of grade, use lower level supplemental lighting or
additional overhead units. Where low -level lighting (below 5 feet) is used, fixtures should be
placed in such a way that they do not produce glare. Most eye levels occur between 3 feet 8
inches for wheelchair users and 6 feet for standing adults.
G. Where walkway lighting is provided primarily by low fixtures provide sufficient peripheral
lighting to illuminate the immediate surroundings. Peripheral lighting contributes to a feeling of
security in an individual because he can see into his surroundings to determine whether or not
passage through an area is safe. Such an area should be lighted so that the object or person may
be seen directly or in silhouette.
Fencing, Walls, and Screening
H. All fencing, walls, and screening should reflect building architecture and be harmonious with
adjacent project designs. This includes consideration of proportion, color, texture, and materials.
Design perimeter fencing to be attractive from both sides.
Service Areas
I. Screen all exterior maintenance equipment, including HVAC equipment, electrical equipment,
storage tanks, satellite dishes, and garbage dumpsters from off -site and on -site common area
view in an architecturally integrated manner.

of seating and other amenities. Separate vehicular traffic from pedestrian- oriented areas with the
use of bollards and other barrier features.

:MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Tukwila City Council
FROM: Bruce Fletcher, Director of Parks & Recreation
DATE: January 23,2008
SUBJECT: Starfire Contract Amendment, Agreement Number 03-058
The Seattle area has been awarded an expansion Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise
that will compete in 2009. The professional soccer team will play their home games at
Quest Field but need a practice home.
Starfire Sports President, Chris Slatt, and MLS minority owner, Adrian Hanauer, recently
met with the Mayor and city staff to discuss bringing the MLS team to F Oli Dent for their
practice home. Since opening Starfrre Sports in Tukwila, Fort Dent Park has become
home to thousands of kids, adults and families in the world of soccer.
Mr. Hanauer, who is the owner of the Seattle Sounders, has made Starfire the home to the
Sounders the past couple of seasons and truly enjoys the soccer atmosphere at Fort Dent.
In order for the new MLS team to use Starfire as the clubs home, a new regulation sized
grass soccer field and an additional synthetic turf field needs to be constructed. Starfrre
would also add two smaller modified synthetic turf fields to be available for youth play.
Chris Slatt has requested a contract amendment that would make it possible to build the
new soccer field at the softball complex and sublease the area to the MLS franchise.
When discussing this proposal it was agreed by Mr. Hanauer to provide many hours of
volunteer time of the professional athletes at our Tuk\vila schools and local soccer clubs.
Although the construction process will eliminate softball from Fort Dent, it is a fact that
many more Tukwila children and adults participate in soccer over softbalL
This amendment (one) contains information that is new and serves in addition to the
original agreement (no. 03-058). It is the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation
Director to authorize the Mayor to approve the Starfire Contract Amendment.

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into effective the l5t day of
March, 2003 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), by and between the CITY OF TUKWILA, a
Washington municipal corporation ("CITY"), and STARFIRE SPORTS, a Washington
non-profit corporation ("ST ARFIRE"). The CITY and ST ARFIRE are referred to
collectively as the "PARTIES."
In consideration ofthe promises, covenants, and provisions set forth in this
Agreement, the PARTIES agree as follows:
Article 1. RECITALS AND FINDINGS
1.1 Park.
The CITY is owner ofthe property commonly described as Fort Dent Regional
Park (the "PARK") legally described in Exhibit D.
1.2 Inten!overnmental A2"reement.
The CITY acquired the PARK through an INTERGOVERNMENTAL LAND
TRANSFER AGREEMENT BETWEEN KING COUNTY AND THE CITY OF
TUKWILA (January 3,2003; the, "INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT"), in part
as a result of King County's lack of sufficient, stable revenues to manage and maintain its
parks, open space and recreational facilities.
1.3 Private Operation and Development.
At the time the CITY acquired the PARK from King County, the CITY intended
to provide for private operation, maintenance and further development of a portion of the
PARK, consistent with the INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT.
1.4 STARFIRE.
ST ARFIRE has the experience, ability, and resources to develop and operate park
athletic, recreation and associated facilities ("FACILITIES") at the PARK. STARFIRE
intends to develop a regional facility for soccer, softball and other athletic and
recreational uses, and to provide scholarships, grants and aid to underprivileged people
throughout King County.
1.5 Facilities.
The PARTIES intend this Agreement to be a ground and use concession and
licenses granting STARFIRE the exclusive rights to develop, construct, and operate
FACILITIES, as described more fully in attached Exhibit C. STARFIRE may operate

the Property will continue to be used for the purposes contemplated by Resolution
34571, that the Property shall not be transferred or conveyed except by agreement

tax exempt status of any outstanding bonds, such as transferring the property,
limiting the public use of the Property, or causing the Property to be privately
managed. the City may request in writing that the County concur that such action will
not affect the tax exempt status of any outstanding bonds. Such request must
contain sufficient information regarding the intended use of the Property for the

any outstanding bonds, the County agrees to use good faith, to not unreasonably
withhold concurrence, and to make its determination or to ask for additional
information within 45 days of a written request to do so by the City. If the County fails

period, the County may not sUbsequently assert that such action violates this
covenant. If the County asks for additional information within the 45 day period, the

make its determination or the County may not subsequently assert that said action
violates this covenant.

Property by non-city residents in any way that does not also apply to city residents.
The City covenants that if differential fees for non-city residents are imposed, they will
be reasonably related to the cost borne by city taxpayers to maintain} improve or
