TO: City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Mayor Haggerton Community Affairs and Parks Committee FROM: Rick Still, Parks and Recreation Director BY: Amy Kindel!, Aquatic Specialist DATE: April 16, 2014 SUBJECT: Update on Community Transformation Grant for Tukwila Pool ISSUE Community Transformation Grant Outcomes BACKGROUND In April 2013 the City was awarded a Community Transformation Grant (CTG) from Seattle Children's Hospital, Healthy King County Coalition and Seattle & King County Public Health with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The grant was awarded to support a healthy community by ensuring universal swimming opportunities and removing barriers to participation. The grant had two major components. The first component was researching and creating policies to support universal swim opportunities, the second was to develop policies that support reaching traditionally underserved populations in regard to swimming education. Staff identified four areas to achieve grant components, as follows: 1. continuation of the pilot third grade swimming lesson voucher program and policy development to support the program; 2. development of policy for youth volunteer Guard Start program; 3. develop policy that will guide and support the use of translated printed materials; 4. develop policy for recreational programming to ensure access for all community members. DISCUSSION Staff has researched and developed four policies as part of the deliverables for the CTG. The policies support the primary goals of the grant by supporting universal swimming opportunities and overcoming barriers to participation in healthy lifestyle activities such as swimming. Those policies are attached as follows: A. City of Tukwila Parks and Recreation Policy 200.15: Print Translation Services B. City of Tukwila Parks and Recreation Policy 200.16: Single Gender Recreation Opportunities C. City of Tukwila Parks and Recreation Policy 700.02: 3rd Grade Swimming Lesson Voucher Program D.

DISCUSSION To maintain proper price points, stimulate growth and work towards revenue goals, Greens Fees at Foster Golf Links (FGL) should be increased. Based on the 2014 Green Fee Survey conducted by FGL staff (attachment A), staff is seeking input from the Community Affairs & Parks Committee regarding a fee increase as shown in Draft Resolution (attachment B). If play in 2014 were equal to the average for the past 3 years (2011-2013), we anticipate that this proposed Greens Fee increase would yield an estimated $50,000 in additional revenue. In order to continue to move towards meeting revenue goals, staff will utilize dynamic pricing and continue to offer promotions and develop ways to increase play. RECOMMENDATION The Committee is being asked to consider this item and forward the resolution to the April 21, 2014 Regular Meeting Consent Agenda. ATTACHMENT A. 2014 Green Fee Survey B.

BACKGROUND, In November 2013, staff presented information on ways to increase revenue at Foster Golf Links, including an updated Marketing Plan. We'd like to provide an update on the status of those efforts. DISCUSSION Staff presented ways to increase revenue, which included Implement an updated Marketing Plan; Lengthen the golf season; Improve golf course playability; and adjust fees to the market level and use dynamic pricing. Staff hired a consultant to review the FGL marketing plan and to develop the plan into a working document that can be implemented by staff. This plan includes programs to retain and strengthen our core golfers, and also includes strategies to engage lapsed golfers and create new golfers. RECOMMENDATION Discussion only. ATTACHMENT A. Foster Golf Links — Marketing Plan B. Fairway Topdressing and Aeration Program 19 20 Attachment A Foster Golf Links - 2014 Marketing Action Plan Executive Summary The vision of Foster Golf Links (FGL) is to develop a golf facility that creates a welcome environment and is a source of pride to the Tukwila community. The purpose of this marketing action plan is to identify key ways to increase revenue through maximizing participation. By utilizing a mix of marketing strategies and tools we can develop a targeted approach to increasing participation at FGL by each of these key user groups: Strategy 1: Retain and Strengthen Our Core Strategy 2: Engage Lapsed Golfers Strategy 3: Attract New Customers In order to increase overall participation, FGL needs to create awareness of its value within its core customer base, and then build that awareness outward into the regional golf community where we can engage the lapsed golfer and attract new golfers to our product. In order to accomplish this, FGL must develop an action plan that focuses on collecting customer data and streamlining systems in the winter months, and shifts to actively marketing opportunities as we move into the high season in May. This will allow FGL to be ready to take on the new business it is sure to attract with a well - planned strategy to market to each of the key user groups. Participation Trends While the number of rounds played overall in the United States has declined in recent years, rounds played at FGL have steadily remained above the national average. The factors that influence golf participation include: • Course condition • Weather playability • Customer service Typically, participation at FGL is highest during the months of May through September. This can be attributed to better weather, the return of "snowbirds ", and the beginning of the league play season. During the shoulder seasons, March /April and October, participation levels are heavily affected by the playability of the course which is impacted by weather. In the low season, November through February, participation on the course is primarily from our core customer. 21 Strategy 1: Retain and Strengthen our Core Retaining and strengthening our core will be our top priority. According to the National Golf Foundation (NGF), the core golfers, those who play more than 8 times a year, account for 57% of all golfers. More impressively, these golfers account for 94% of rounds played and money spent on industry related products and services. In addition, their greatest asset to any facility is their ability to serve as ambassadors for the facility and the game of golf. Statistics show that it takes 20 new golfers to replace the loss of one core golfer. As with most municipal golf courses, FGL relies heavily on our core customers. At FGL we have approximately 3,500 core customers. To further engage our core customers and to further increase participation, we will implement a Customer Loyalty Program by offering a FGL Rewards Card. By providing our core customers with discounts, hosting exclusive events, special sales and creating a more communal atmosphere, FGL will reward our core customers. Here's how FGL's Rewards Card program will work: To register for the FGL Rewards Card, customers will be required to provide name, address, phone, email address and birthdate. In addition, FGL will record and categorize the golfer's club /league information, if applicable. By capturing this information, FGL will have a better understanding of buying habits, interests, and preferences of its golfers. There will be an annual registration fee $20 to participate in the Rewards Card program. Upon registering, the golfer will receive a free round of golf (restrictions may apply) and 20 points on their Reward's Card. For every dollar spent, a point is earned. Reaching a predetermined level of points, a discount is received. For example, after $100, the member receives a 5% discount on all green and cart fees. After $400, a 10% discount is earned. As the dollar amount spent increases, so does the discount honored. Throughout the season, FGL will host member events such as merchandise sales, member only tournaments and "double points" days. Points will be accrued April 1 — March 31 and reset every April 1. Because FGL's "Point of Sale" (POS) system is currently set up for a Rewards Card system, the only cost to implement the Rewards Card is the cost of the card (currently $0.65 per card). April 2044 Update On April 15t we "soft" launched our Rewards Program (RP). The card sells for $20 and rewards the customer for registering and provides discounts to our customers. The more often our Rewards Members play; the greater discount they can earn. The rewards program is another cog in our quest to extend the playing season. Since the RP season is from April '14 to March 31, 2015, it allows the customer to utilize his earned discounts during our off - season. In the first 3 days of availability, we've sold over 100 cards with minimal promotion! The Rewards Program registration allows us to collect informational data on our core customers. FGL is collecting the guests' name, where they live and work, email, birthdate, and other pertinent information. This will allow us to target market our core customers to best maximize our earning potential. 22 Strategy 2: Engage Lapsed Golfers According to the NGF, 90 million Americans describe themselves as lapsed golfers. Those lapsed golfers offer several reasons for "leaving" the game. Money, time, the difficulty of the game, and family are the reasons most cited. By its own design, FGL is a great facility to re- engage the lapsed golfer. FGL recognizes that the primary audience for our facility is the beginning to intermediate golfer that is looking for a fun, walk -able course. Professionals agree that the more rounds someone plays, the more likely they are to keep playing, work on their game, and invest in new equipment. Strategies to engage lapsed golfers include: 1. Utilize existing systems to capture data to analyze frequency of play. Currently FGL utilizes different systems for different data functions. The three systems currently utilized are: o Golf Now (www.golfnow.com) — used primarily for on -line tee time booking and marketing to the regional golf market. o Cybergolf (www.cvbergolf.com) — used primarily hosting of FGL website and also allows for online tee time bookings. o sZen — used primarily for point of sale transactions and as a customer data tool. By analyzing the data more thoroughly, FGL will be able to determine which type of programming offered will best serve the lapsed player. 2. Utilize the collected data to specifically market the PGA's "Get Golf Ready" program to the lapsed golfer. Get Golf Ready (GGR) — is a group lesson package offered at an affordable rate. In order to promote this program, we will utilize the national marketing platform to reach the regional golf community, and develop specific marketing promotions, such as email blasts and social media, to our e-Club members, Rewards Card members and Billy Baroo's customers. ➢ Besides the lesson revenue stream created from the GGR program, what we are really trying to cultivate is a long term relationship with the golfer. The GGR graduate has been shown to have an 80% retention rate and will spend nearly $1,000 annually at the facility. 3. Develop specialized programs and packages for market segments. Specialized programs could include a mix of packages and events such as: o Opportunities to improve their game through individual and group instruction; o Opportunities for socialization through play and dine events; and o Opportunities for competitive play through leagues and tournaments that match up appropriate skill levels. Women golfers, senior /retiree golfers, youth and families are just a few of the market segments we would target with specialized programming. April 204 update FGL continues to utilize its multiple resources for data collection ( #1). Golf Now, our Internet tee time booking engine, now has over 2,500 emails for us to market towards. Cybergolf, continues to hold over 3,000 email club members and is utilized monthly to connect with our customers. FGL has created 9 Get Golf Ready (GGR) instructional programs ( #2) to engage new and lapsed golfers. The Get Golf Ready program is a nationally promoted instructional program taught at the local level. The GGR program is a great way to attract long term customers. The GGR program has proven to have an 80% retention rate to the facility. The first classes begin end of April. 23 Strategy 3: Attract New Golfers 1. Increasing youth access to golf is very important. With that in mind we will be working on the following initiatives to promote golf to youth in Tukwila: a. Develop a Junior Golf Academy program. The Academy will focus on developing interested and motivated junior golfers through a system of instructional clinics, camps and competitive play among golfers of similar skill level. The Academy will have a tiered system to identify and cultivate all levels of junior golfers. • Beginning and intermediate players begin in the camps and enjoy limited time on the golf course. Once they show that they are capable of playing at an acceptable pace, understand the rules and etiquette, and are motivated to better themselves they will be moved up accordingly. • Advanced players will compete against their peers to bring out the best in their golf play. By doing this, a stable of players competing in Washington State Golf Association events, high school golf and beyond. b. Develop a Golf Specialty Camp. Work closely with the Recreation Division staff to develop a golf camp to be included in their summer specialty camp program. The program can be a stand -alone golf camp, or it could be integrated into the existing summer day camp program. 2. Tournaments are a great revenue source and opportunity to develop new customers. In order to increase tournament and league participation we will: a. Develop a downloadable tournament package on the FGL website. This will allow each league and tournament to have their own site to promote their event. It also will allow us to collect valuable player data which can be used to reach out to golfers who do not generally frequent FGL. b. Develop an outreach plan. FGL will develop a plan to outreach to local businesses, community organizations, and networking groups including, but not limited to: • FGL Men's and Ladies Clubs • Billy Baroo's patrons and eClub members • Seattle Southside Visitor Services — area hotel guests • Rotary Club members • Southwest King County Chamber — member businesses & organizations • Starfire Sports — patrons and facility visitors 3. The development of specialized programs and market segments, as noted previously in Strategy 2, could also be utilized to attract new golfers to FGL. Arll2 ©14 Update We have developed a Junior Golf Academy through the PGA. The PGA Junior League Golf will begin at the end of June. For the first time in generations, area golf courses will he developing "teams" of juniors (ages 13 and under) to compete against each other. This exciting and fun format has the potential for rapid growth, as area facilities are getting behind the PGA to introduce this program. FGL will be working with the Tukwila Community Center's youth program to bring golf to their Summer Camps. Instructors from FGL will be teaching golf. to the summer campers at the Community Center. 24 Attachment B Fairway Topdressing and Aeration Program Foster Golf Links proposes to begin a Fairway Aeration and Topdressing Program. This program would begin with the addition of a Deep Tine Aerator, using the Verti-Drain 32'20. It would also include a 5-year commitment to topdressing the critical areas, fairways and tee boxes, on the golf course. Once the process has begun, it is critical to the health of the course that it continues. Primary reasons for topdressinq include: • Promotes quicker drying of turf and better drainage • Allows for good soil structure and greater thatch control • Improves and helps maintain a better playing surface while fixing compaction issues • Corrects surface irregularities • Decrease special projects related to drainage • All of these will increase course playability and lengthen the golf season. "Poor drainage," "Too wet" and similar comments are among the primary negative comments received on our recent survey and on customer review websites. In our current situation carts are restricted from the fairways earlier than our competition, thereby reducing our round potential and limiting seniors and others access to the course. Program Benefits: Better course conditions Respond to our guests concerns and suggested improvements Increase playability and pace of play Increase rounds in the shoulder months (Feb-May and Sept-Nov) Allow carts on fairways more often, providing more opportunities for growth Estimated Costs: Verti-Drain $28,000 Topdressing (10-12 applications per year) — current market pricing estimate of $25,000-$30,000 annually A 20 4Update One of the driving forces in our 2014 Marketing Plan is to extend the playing season as much as possible. The first venture onto the golf course by our new aerator, the Verti -Drain (VD), occurred on March 25"`. This aerator is just one component, albeit a huge contributor to our goal of extending the playing season each year The VD allows us to aerate the golf course fairways, tee boxes, and green surrounds at twice the speed as our previous equipment. Additionally, the technical abilities of the VD far surpass our older aerator, including increased and adjustable depth to the aerification holes, and the ability to '`track" below the surface which assists in root growth of our turfgrass and allows us to provide a firmer golf course. 26 TO: City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Mayor Haggerton Community Affairs and Parks FROM: Jack Pace, Department of Community Development Director BY: Stacy MacGregor, Assistant Planner DATE: April 2, 2014 SUBJECT: Renewal of Moratorium on Medical Cannabis Collective Gardens and Dispensaries ISSUE Should the City renew a moratorium on medical cannabis collective gardens and dispensaries? BACKGROUND In 2011, the Washington State legislature passed ESSB 5073, codified as RCW 69.51A, creating rules regarding medical cannabis patients, collective gardens, and medical cannabis dispensaries. The Governor vetoed portions of the bill. The partial veto created conflicts in the remaining portions of the bill but the general assumption is that dispensaries are prohibited by the veto but "qualifying patients" can participate in "collective gardens", The bill does allow local jurisdictions to adopt and enforce requirements for zoning, business licensing, health and safety and business taxes related to the "production, processing, or dispensing of cannabis and cannabis products within their jurisdiction." (RCW 69.51A.130) On August 15, 2011, the City Council enacted Ordinance No. 2348 placing a moratorium on cannabis collective gardens and dispensaries with the expectation that the state would provide clarification on the statutes and the conflicts created by the partial veto. Ordinance 2350 was adopted as findings. On August 6, 2012 and August 5, 2013 the City Council enacted City Council Ordinances No.2379 and 2404, which each renewed the moratorium on medical cannabis collective gardens and dispensaries. The established moratorium is set to expire at midnight on May 31, 2014. The moratorium was extended each time based on the expectation that the State legislature would be revising or adopting new rules regarding the regulation of medical cannabis. Neither new rules nor revised rules have been adopted by the Washington State Legislature. DISCUSSION The Federal Government's Controlled Substances Act (CSA) prohibits the possession and distribution of marijuana for any purpose. In March, 2014, U.S. District Attorney Jenny Durkin issued a statement that all medical cannabis dispensaries are illegal but the Federal Department of Justice will not focus resources on individuals that are in "clear and unambiguous compliance with existing state laws." This follows US Deputy Attorney General's statement 27 28 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 before the US Senate in September, 2013 that the Governor of Washington is expected to "implement a strong and effective regulatory and enforcement system to fully protect against the public health and safety harms..." (see Attachment A). The State of Washington is developing a clearly regulated system for recreational marijuana but the State has yet to create laws that provide clear or unambiguous rules for medical marijuana use, production, or sale. Medical cannabis dispensaries and collective gardens remain illegal under federal law and are not subject to a State regulatory system that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has indicated is necessary to avoid DOJ scrutiny. The expectation remains that the future for medical cannabis in Washington State will involve either merging the medical cannabis and recreational marijuana uses into a combined regulatory system or establishing an independent regulatory system for medical cannabis. The current system with strict regulations on recreational marijuana and essentially no regulation on medical cannabis is untenable. As the recreational marijuana regulatory system matures, the impacts of marijuana production, processing, and retail sales will be better understood and rulemaking for medical marijuana uses can be informed by those impacts. At this time, the Washington State Liquor Control Board has yet to issue any licenses for recreational marijuana producers, processors, or retailers within the City of Tukwila so any potential impacts are not yet understood. If and when the Federal Government changes the legal status of marijuana and/or if the State of Washington develops a regulatory system for medical marijuana that satisfies the DOJ, the City of Tukwila can choose to adopt zoning code regulations regarding medical cannabis collective gardens in the City of Tukwila. The expectation remains that the State Legislature will adopt regulations regarding medical cannabis in the next legislative session. At this time, allowing medical cannabis in the City would have the City preempting Federal law. FINANCIAL IMPACT None RECOMMENDATION The Committee is being asked to forward the ordinance to the May 12, 2014 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent May 19, 2014 Regular Meeting.

Adoption of Findings of Fact. The City Council adopts the following Findings of Fact in support of the moratorium adopted by Ordinance No. 2348: 1. The possession or distribution of cannabis (marijuana) has been and continues to be a violation of state law, pursuant to Chapter 69.50 Revised Code of Washington (Washington's Uniform Controlled Substances Act), and federal law, through the Controlled Substances Act ( "CSA "). W: Word Processing \Ordinances\Medical Cannabis Findings of Fact 9 -27 -11 NG:bjs Page 1 of 4 37 2. Initiative Measure No. 692, approved by the voters of Washington State on November 30, 1998, and now codified as Chapter 69.51A RCW, created a limited defense to marijuana charges under state —not federal —law if the person charged could demonstrate that he or she was a qualifying patient or designated provider as those terms are defined in Chapter 69.51A RCW. In 2007, the state legislature amended the law, and in 2011 the state legislature passed a third amendment to the law (E2SSB 5073, Chapter 181, Laws of 2011), portions of which the Governor vetoed. The newly amended law took effect on July 22, 2011. 3. Prior to issuing her partial veto, the Governor received a letter signed by Washington State's two U.S. Attorneys, Michael Ormsby and Jennifer Durkan. In their letter, they wrote that marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law and, as such, "growing, distributing and possessing marijuana in any capacity, other than as part of a federally authorized research program, is a violation of federal law regardless of state laws permitting such activities." These U.S. Attorneys also concluded, "state employees who conducted activities mandated by the Washington legislative proposals would not be immune from liability under the CSA ". 4. Because the Governor vetoed 36 of the 58 sections of the Legislature's bill amending Chapter 69.51A RCW, the law, in its final form, understandably has inconsistencies and ambiguities. For example, certain sections that were not vetoed make reference to other sections that were vetoed. 5. The recent amendments to Chapter 69.51A RCW change the scope and effect of the law. New sections affect the rights of qualifying patients and their designated providers. The law now allows "collective gardens" that provide for growing and cultivating up to 45 plants to serve no more than 10 qualifying patients. The law also provides other changes to the rights and responsibilities of medical marijuana patients and their designated providers. 6. The new law, however, clearly delegates to cities the authority to implement zoning requirements, business licensing requirements, health and safety requirements, and business taxes as those requirements and taxes relate to the production, processing, or dispensing of medical marijuana. In particular, local regulations could address ambiguities concerning the location and operation of collective gardens, and ensure that provisions related to designated providers are not used to establish a de facto dispensary when the authority for such uses was vetoed. 7. The City Council requires time to conduct appropriate research to understand the extent of the changes provided in the new law, to analyze impacts and potential liabilities under federal law, and to determine an appropriate regulatory framework for any new uses that are allowed under these laws. 8. The City must ensure that proposed locations for these operations are appropriate and that any potential secondary impacts arising from the operation of these uses or facilities are minimized and mitigated. These secondary impacts may include, W: Word Processing \Ordinances\Medical Cannabis Findings of Fact 9 -27 -11 NG:bjs 38 Page 2 of 4 but are not limited to, burglaries associated with the cash and marijuana maintained on the site, or an increase of other illegal activities, such as drug use, within the vicinity of these dispensaries. 9. In particular, and without limitation, staff should analyze the impacts of allowing these uses and facilities in residential zones as well as impacts arising from the proximity of these uses and facilities to schools, daycares, parks, religious and cultural facilities, jails and courthouses. Accordingly, the City Council finds that a zoning, licensing, and permitting moratorium should be established, pending local review of appropriate locations and design requirements of these operations, and impacts of the newly amended law and its interaction with federal law. 10. City staff has presented a staff report to the City Council that outlines a tentative schedule for examining the impacts associated with collective gardens and dispensaries. Given the complexity of examining the issues associated with collective gardens and dispensaries, the City will need at least one year to complete an in -depth analysis and to complete a public outreach program. 11. The City Council, following public notice, conducted a public hearing regarding the moratorium on October 3, 2011. 12. Although the City Council determines that a moratorium is necessary for the reasons established above, the City Council emphasizes that it understands the needs of persons suffering from debilitating or terminal conditions, as well as the benefits that approved medical use of marijuana may provide these persons. Nevertheless, given the complex legal and regulatory framework surrounding this issue, a moratorium remains necessary until the City Council can adequately address the competing interests at play. 13. The City Council has considered the foregoing facts, materials and testimony. Section 2. Corrections by City Clerk or Code Reviser. Upon approval of the City Attorney, the City Clerk and the code reviser are authorized to make necessary corrections to this ordinance, including the correction of clerical errors; references to other local, state or federal laws, codes, rules, or regulations; or ordinance numbering and section /subsection numbering.

BACKGROUND In September of 2013, the City of Tukwila adopted a zoning code amendment allowing marijuana producers, processors, and retailers in the City within the Tukwila Valley South (TVS) and Heavy Industrial (HI) zones. DISCUSSION As of February 18, 2014 the Liquor Control Board (LCB) website lists 36 producer, processor or retailer applications for locations within the City of Tukwila. These 36 applications represent 22 unique addresses. The City reviewed these twenty-two proposed locations for zoning code compliance and their location relative to buffers for restricted entities (parks, schools, etc.). A table was compiled noting which locations may be allowed by City zoning and which locations may be allowed under 1-502. A copy of this table is attached. As shown, there are no properties which meet both state and city regulations. There are five proposed locations that are allowed per City ordinance based on their underlying zoning but none of these meet the state regulations due to being within 1,000 of a restricted entity (in all cases, the restricted entity is Briscoe Park). State law requires the WSLCB to notify the city that a proposed business has applied for a marijuana license in their jurisdiction. The local authority has 20 days to respond with an approval, objection or no response to a license application. At this time, the City has not been notified of any proposed applications. The LCB has indicated that changes to applications by applicants have caused significant delays in the licensing process. Statewide, one producer license has been issued. Retail license applications have exceeded license allotments and a 41 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 retail lottery will be conducted on April 21st (with results posted May 2nd) to assign the retail marijuana license allocation in Tukwila and other jurisdictions. When the zoning code amendment allowing marijuana producers, processors, and retailers was adopted in 2013, it was with the expectation that the impacts of marijuana uses would be better understood as uses were established in Tukwila and elsewhere and the zoning code could be updated, if desired, in consideration of actual impacts.

BACKGROUND In March 2013 the City executed a development agreement with South Center WA, LLC so that the owner of 223 Andover Park East (the former Circuit City site) could construct a building up to 180 feet tall and that included apartments or condominiums. Since that time, the developer has continued to refine the project plan. RecenUy, the developer submitted an application for the City's design review process which is scheduled to be considered by the Board of Architectural Review (BAR) on May 22, 2014. As currently proposed, the project does not meet certain zoning and sign code standards. Therefore, the City Council would need to approve an amendment to the development agreement allowing modifications to those standards to enable the BAR to consider the project. DISCUSSION Due to the unique nature of this project, there are three areas in which the project needs flexibility from our zoning code: number of parking stalls, area of open space, and building height. Additionally, the proposed p ject needs flexibility regarding the sign code, especially regarding building mounted signs. — As shown in the table below the p project would include 370 residential units, 189 hotel roonna, and 498 parking stalls. The developer hired the Transpo Group to estimate the parking demand and their technical analysis is attached. Transpo estimated a daily peak parking demand of 340 stalls for the residential units and 118 stalls for the hotel for a combined total of 458 stalls resulting in 40 extra stalls. The City's current zoning would require 939 stalls. Staff recognizes that this parking standard was based on a suburban, low-rise, non-transit oriented development style of apartment building and is excessive for a p ject in the core of the Urban Center. As currently proposed, the Southcenter Plan and related TUC zoning changes would require 594 parking stalls. Under that code, the p ject would be short 96 stalls. The key question is whether the proposed project includes sUffiC(eDip8rkiOg.|tiG8ChRUeOgiOg question because this type of multi-family development doesn't exist anywhere in South King INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 County. Although staff would feel more comfortable if the p ject included more parking, staff acknowledges that adding a floor to the parking garage would be very expensive. It is commonly accepted that the cost of constructing a parking garage is approximately $30,000 per stall. It is possible that the cost would make the project financially OOtVi8b|e. The following are reasons why the parking may be sufficient: (a) The Transpo Group's estimate may reflect the actual demand. Transpo Group based its estimate of parking demand for the residential units on King County's Right Size Parking Calculator, which is a tool designed for these types of p jecte. The developer also plans to charge the residential tenants separately for parking stalls which may reduce the number of vehicles tenants use. The hotel guests may not all need parking since the hotel will operate an airport shuttle and some rooms may be contracted for airline employees who would not have cars. (b) Some other successful high-rise apartment buildings have similar or less parking. A chart is attached listing some apartment buildings in Seattle that have even fewer parking spaces than proposed for this pr jecL However, Seattle has significantly more amenities and jobs within walking and transit of those other apartments. (c) The developer has a strong interest to ensure sufficient parking. Without it, they may have a hard time getting financing or a hotel operator. (d) The developer and property manager can implement a valet parking service when demand exceeds supply. The pr ject could fit an additional 103 parking stalls on site if valet service is implemented. (e) The risk to adjacent properties if there is insufficient parking or if the developer doesn't implement a valet parking service would be relatively minimal. This site is not close to a single family residential neighborhood and commercial property owners could have cars towed if necessary. Parking Comparison Developer Proposal City Zoning Code Units Parking Spaces Daily Peak Demand Current Proposed Residential Studio 154 308 154 One bedroom 150 300 150 Two bedroom +den 63 126 95 Three bedroom 8 6 6 Subtotal 370 340 740 405 Hotel 189 118 199 189 Total 559 498 458 939 594 Note: The parking ent shown in the curren City zoning column undercounts 19 parking stalls for employees for the residential portion. That being said, staff still believes that the residential parking requirements proposed for the Southcenter Plan are the minimum necessary for this project. Those requirements would be 1 46 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 stall per studio, one stall per one bedroom, 1.5 stalls per two-bedroom, and 2 stalls per two- bedroom unit. Regarding the hote parking, the proposed Southcenter Plan would require one stall per hotel room. Transpo's analysis has merit; hovvever, staff supports a maximum reduction from one stall per hotel room to 0.7 stalls per hotel room based on Tukwila's general hotel occupancy level of 70%. If the developer is able to provide data reflecting a lower parking utilization rate at nearby hotels in Tukwila, staff may support a lower requirement. Using the proposed Southcenter Plan for the residential parking requirement and assuming a 70% occupancy level for the hotels with one stall per occupied hotel room, the required parking would be 537 stalls. In that case, the proposed project is short byOS stalls. Open — The City's current zoning code requires 200 square feet of open space per residential unit for use of the residents which would total 74'000 square feet, which would be nearly equivalent to 50% of the lot area. The City's proposed zoning would require 10% of the residential floor area and 25 square feet per hotel room, which would be 25,525 square feet, larger than one entire floor of the building. The project aep has approximately 20,000 square feet of open space. Most of the open space is on the nineteenth floor which includes a clubhouse with a flexible room comprising a kitchen and area for meetings, lounging, dining and playing games. It also has an exercise room, a hot tub, and an outdoor area with seating/lounging, barbecue grills, and an outdoor fireplace. The ground level includes a lobby, caf, swimming pool and an outdoor pet area. In addition to the 20,000 square feet of open space for the residents and hotel guests, the development would also create a fifteen foot wide tree lined sidewalk with bench seating. Staff supports the amount of open space as proposed by the developer. Given the location of this p jgoi. there is significant indoor and outdoor space for socializing and recreation within walking distance such as an exercise club, a bowling alley, the largest indoor mall in the Pacific Northwest, the Green River bike and pedestrian trail, the Interurban bike and pedestrian trail, and Bicentennial Park. Building — In early 2013 the City approved a development agreement for this p ject to entitle the building to be up to 180 feet in height. That was based on a seventeen story building which did not include a clubhouse on the roof, The project ject has evolved from that earlier concept and now includes eighteen stories plus the roof top clubhouse. In addition, the developer is negotiating an agreement to operate the hotel as a Four Points by Sheraton and Sheraton has requested some additional height on the second floor (mezzanine level) so the meeting rooms can have higher ceilings. Staff supports entitling the building for additiona height up to 190 feet. This site is in the core of Tukwila's Urban Center and is a good location for more urban type of development. Higher ceilings provide a higher quality experience for the meeting rooms and the roof top club house is an amenity that improves the entire project. — The developer h8Sp signs that exceed the size currently allowed by the City's sign code on the north and west faces and on the canopy above the main hotel entrance on the east side as shown in the attached plans. INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 4 North Face: The proposed wall sign is 840 square feet. Assuming the p ject has a public entrance on the north side, the sign code allows a sign up to 150 square feet. West Face: The p sign is 840 square feet. Assuming the p ject has a public entrance on the west side, the sign code allows a sign up to 150 square feet. East Face Canopy The proposed sign lettering is 3.5 feet in height whereas the sign code allows lettering up to one foot in height. Although the developer has not requested signs on the parking garage, the sign code would allow two signs on the north face of the parking garage and two signs on the west face of the parking garage. Each of the four signs could be up to 288 square feet. It is unlikely that signs on the parking garage would be clearly in view from Baker Boulevard or other public street. The City's sign code was created in the context of our current built environment without specifically anticipating large, tall buildings like this p 'ect. As such, limiting the wall face signs to 150 square feet may be too conservative. Larger signs may improve wayfinding, marketability of the property, and competiveness of our Urban Center. The City of Seattle does not allow signs at the top of downtown high rises but the City of Bellevue does. Bellevue limits its signs to a maximum of 300 square feet. Although the 840 square foot signs p for the north and west faces are significantly larger than the 150 square feet allowed by the sign code, they are still only 2% and 2.6% of the building faces, respectively, if the building face is calculated based on the plane perspective as viewed from afar and not strictly the plane of the wall on which the sign is attached. Some wall faces at the mall are allowed to have signs up to 500 square feet, though the actual signs may not be that large. Buildings in the MIC/H District may have signs up to 1,500 square feet, depending on the size of the wall. If the MIC!H District code were applied to this project the north face sign could be up to 733 square feet and the west face sign up to 561 square feet. Staff supports allowing larger signs for this pr ject because the wall faces are considerably taller and larger than contemplated in the sign code and the larger signs can still be aesthetically pleasing as long as the signs are of the channel letter design as proposed. Staff recommends approving signs on the north and west faces based on the formula used in the MIC/H District and a canopy sign for the east entrance with channel letters up to 3.5 feet tall. Staff recognizes that the community may have reservations about entitling this project tothe parking, open space, building height, and signage as described. This is a pioneering project from vvhioh we will learn a lot about parking demand in our Urban Center core. Given the City's vision to have a transit-oriented neighborhood utilizing the commuter rail station, bus transit center, Interurban and Green River bike tnai|s, and nearby jobs and amenities, this is a good opportunity to push the envelope to encourage development. This p jeotinauniqueoppodunitytoenoounogetnano/tohentaddeve|opnnentvvithehigherend multi-family residential component than currently exists in Tukwila. Since this tvogofproduct get '�inancing. It is a unique confluence of factors such as the property owner's knowledge and commitment to the local area, a large enough site to enable some surface parking, the EB-5 financing structure, 48 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 5 and the hotel participation that makes this p ject a possibility. The project exemplifies many of the goals reflected in the City's vision for the core of the Urban Center. If the project is successful, it may inform future adjustments to Tukwila's zoning and sign codes. Process — Typically, a draf amendment to the development agreement would be attached to this report. In order to meet the developer's requested timeframe for moving the p je[t forward, staff is asking for the Community Affairs and Parks Committee (CAP) to consider this item without the draf amendment. If the Committee forwards this item to the full Council, staff will draf an amendment to the existing development agreement. The amendment to the development agreement would need to be approved following a public hearing, which is scheduled for the Council meeting of April 28th Staff posted official notice for the public hearing on April 14th. If CAP decides to not forward this item to the Council, staff will cancel or reschedule the public hearing. The City is holding an open house for the public to meet with the developer and city staf and discuss the p ject and proposed amendments to the development agreement. The open house is scheduled for Wednesday, April 16th from 4:00 to 5:30 PM at Albert Lee Appliance. Staff mailed invitations to the nearby businesses and property owners. The developer has also asked for the City to approve a multi-family property tax exemption and other financial incentives. Staff is still researching those options and will return to Council at a future d8t8, possibly in May or June. RECOMMENDATION The Committee is being asked to forward this item for a public hearing at the City Council's Committee of the Whole meeting on April 28, 2014 and approve a development agreement at the May 5, 2014 Regular Meeting.

Jones, P.E., PTOE — Transpo Group cc: Eric Guion, AIA — Group West Companies PLL`C Subject: Washington Place Mixed -Use — Parking Analysis,,. This memorandum presents our estimate of daily peak parking demand for the subject project as well as compares this estimate to (1) the number of required parking stalls based on the City of Tukwila's existing and proposed zoning codes and (2) the proposed parking supply. Project Description We understand the project site is located at 223 Andover Park East in Tukwila near existing shopping, restaurants and entertainment and within walking distance of the existing Green River Trail. It is also located near the future Tukwila Transit Center and within walking distance of the future Tukwila Sounder Station. The proposed project would include the demolition of a 40,580- square foot (sf) building formerly occupied by Circuit City and construction of a 19 -story mixed -use building with 370 apartment units and 189 hotel rooms. The project would include a mix of apartment unit types rented at local market rates. The number of studios and one- to three - bedroom apartment units is summarized below along with the average size and anticipated monthly rent for each unit type: • 154 studio units averaging 353 sf and rented at approximately $790 /month • 150 one - bedroom units averaging 578 sf and rented at approximately $1,000 /month • 63 two- bedroom plus den units averaging 996 sf and rented at approx. $1,550 /month • Three three - bedroom units averaging 1,511 sf and rented at approximately $1,900 /month We understand the hotel will be branded as a "4Points by Sheraton." It will include a shuttle program, providing transportation for guests to /from Sea -Tac International Airport which is located less than five miles to the west. Given this proximity and provision for shuttle service, the hotel plans to contract with the airlines and reserve rooms for pilots, flight crew, etc. An average annual room occupancy rate of 70 percent is anticipated based on similar hotels. The project would also provide 208 surface parking stalls and 290 garage parking stalls for a total of 498 stalls. We understand the monthly price for residential parking would be approximately $150 per stall and this price would be in addition to the monthly rent. Parking Demand Peak parking demand was estimated differently for the residential and hotel components of the project. For the residential component, we used the King County Multi - Family Residential Parking Calculator (www.riohtsizeparkino.orq) to calculate the estimated number of parking stalls that would be used per apartment unit. The calculator is a map -based statistical model that estimates parking use for a particular parcel based on local data collected at over 200 existing multi- family developments in 2012. The calculator was created by King County Metro using grant monies awarded from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Value Pricing Program and takes into consideration surrounding factors such as existing population, employment, and transit service concentrations. In using the calculator, we first selected the parcel representing the project site. Next, we entered the number, size and anticipated monthly rent for each apartment unit type along with the monthly price per stall for residents of the building. Although it would be reasonable to increase the existing transit Trartopo Group 11730116th Avenue N.E., Suite 600 Kirkland, WA 98034 425 -821 -3665 Fax: 425 -825 -8434 111 service concentration recognizing the nearby investments in the Tukwila Transit Center and Tukwila Sounder Station, we did not to ensure a reasonably conservative estimate of future residential parking demand. As shown -in the. attached, the tool estimates that the residential component of the proposed` development would generate, on average; ,a daily peak parking demand of approximately 0:92 vehicles per; apartment unit. This translates to approximately 340 vehicles with a total of 370 apartment units. The tool reports this estimate as strong (accurate) for the parcel in which the project site is located. The average parking rate published in Parking Generation (Institute of Transportation Engineers [ITE], 4th Edition, 2010) for "Hotel" was used to estimate peak parking demand for the hotel component. The average weekday peak period parking demand is 0.89 vehicles per occupied room (see attached) and based on an anticipated average annual room occupancy of 70 percent, it Is estimated that the hotel would generate a daily peak parking demand of approximately 118 vehicles (189 x 0.70 x 0.89 = 118). This is considered a conservative estimate because it does not account for the planned shuttle program nor the strategy to reserve rooms for those in the airline industry, two elements not incorporated in the average ITE parking rate that would likely result in less parking demand than would be generated otherwise. Combining our parking demand estimate for the hotel with our estimate for the residential component, we anticipate the proposed mixed -use development would generate a peak parking demand of approximately 458 vehicles (340 + 118 = 458). Parking Analysis The City's existing zoning code requires two parking stalls for each apartment unit with up to three bedrooms and one stall for each hotel room plus one stall for employees for each 20 rooms, rounded to the next highest figure. As such, the City would require 740 stalls (370 x 2 = 740) for residential parking and 199 stalls ((189 x 1) + (189 / 20) = 199) for hotel parking, a total of 939 stalls. This total supply is approximately 481 more stalls (939 - 458 = 481) than the estimated total daily peak parking demand described above. We understand the City has proposed changes to the existing zoning code as it relates to the Tukwila Urban Center District in which the project site is located_ These changes would require fewer parking stalls than with the existing zoning code. For example, Table 4 of the Planning Commission's Recommend Draft Chapter 18.28 (October 2012) recommends one parking stall for each studio or one - bedroom unit, 1.5 stalls for each two- bedroom unit, two stalls for each unit with more than two bedrooms, and one stall for each hotel room. If approved, the City would require 404 stalls ((304 x 1) + (63 x 1.5) + (3 x 2) = 404) for residential parking and 189 stalls (189 x 1 = 189) for hotel parking, a total of 593 stalls. This total supply is approximately 135 more stalls (593 - 458 = 135) than the total daily peak parking demand. With the project proposing a total of 498 parking stalls, we estimate that this supply is approximately 40 more stalls (498 - 458 = 40) than the estimated total daily peak parking demand. Based on the average parking rate in Parking Generation for "Hotel," it is worth noting that the proposed supply would accommodate the peak parking demand even if the hotel was 90 percent occupied and without the strategies to reduce hotel parking demand described earlier2. 1 The proposed code would require approximately 64 more residential parking stalls than the estimated residential peak parking demand. Assuming these additional stalls would require more structure parking, these stalls would be responsible for approximately 10,800 kg in annual greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide equivalent) from construction and maintenance and approximately 288,600 kg in greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide) from vehicle use of residents, as calculated by the King County Multi - Family Residential Parking Calculator. 2 Based on projections, it is unlikely that room occupancy would exceed 90 percent with any regularity but if this was to occur, the owner is committed to provide valet parking service to off -set the incremental increase in parking demand. mf-transpoGRcuP 112 2 Conclusions Conservatively, we estimate the proposed project would generate a daily peak parking demand of approximately 458 vehicles, less than the proposed parking supply and significantly less than what the City's existing and proposed zoning codes would otherwise require. Peak parking demand would likely be even Tess as we did not adjust our estimate to reflect the future transit concentration of the area nor the hotel's planned services geared toward guests (air travelers, pilots, flight crew, etc.) affiliated with the nearby airport.
