INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator
DATE: April 23, 2014
SUBJECT: Washington Place Development Agreement Amendment
[New memo composed after Community Affairs and Parks meeting]
ISSUE
The owners of 223 Andover Park East would like to construct a building with a hotel and
apartments or condominiums and have requested an amendment to an existing development
agreement in order to modify the City's zoning and sign code requirements for this project.
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. Recently, the developer submitted an application for the
City's design review process which is tentatively 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 project needs flexibility regarding the sign code, especially
regarding building mounted signs.
Parking — As shown in the table below, the proposed project would include 370 residential
units, 189 hotel rooms, and 499 on -site 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 project in the core of the Urban Center. As currently proposed,
59
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
the Southcenter Plan and related TUC zoning changes would require 594 parking stalls. Under
that code, the project would be short 96 stalls.
The key question is whether the proposed project includes sufficient parking. It is a challenging
question because this type of multi - family development doesn't exist anywhere in South King
County. The main concern is that if the project has insufficient parking that the residents or
hotel guests would park on adjacent Tots without permission. Although staff would feel more
comfortable if the project 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 not viable.
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 projects. 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. Many
apartments and hotels in Seattle have even fewer parking spaces than proposed for this
project. However, Seattle has significantly more amenities and jobs within walking and
transit of those other apartments. Seattle also has some paid street parking and paid
private parking Tots which can serve as extra parking.
(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. As currently configured, the project could fit an additional 44
parking stalls on site if valet service is implemented that stacks the cars. Attached is a
letter from ACE Parking describing how this plan could work.
(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.

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
stall per studio, one stall per one bedroom, 1.5 stalls per two - bedroom, and 2 stalls per three -
bedroom unit.
Regarding the hotel parking, the proposed Southcenter Plan would require one stall per hotel
room. Transpo's analysis has merit; however, 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 %.
Using the proposed Southcenter Plan for the residential parking requirement, assuming a 70%
occupancy level for the hotels with one stall per occupied hotel room, and counting 44 stacked
stalls enabled by valet parking, the project would exceed the required on -site parking by six
stalls. It would be necessary for the valet plan to be approved by the City Administration and
Fire Marshall to ensure the stacking would comply with the need for Fire access and be
operationally feasible.
Open Space— The City's current zoning code requires 200 square feet of recreation 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 Southcenter Plan zoning would
require 10% of the residential floor area to be "open space" which would equal 20,800 square
feet, which is nearly the equivalent of one entire floor. Plus, the proposed Southcenter Plan
would require 25 square feet per hotel room, which would be 4,725 square feet.
The project as proposed has over 14,000 square feet of common space for the hotel primarily
related to the hotel lobby, bar /cafe, swimming pool, second floor roof deck, and meeting rooms.
If counted as "open space ", the common space easily exceeds the 25 square feet per guest
room requirement.
The project as proposed has over 16,900 square feet of common area space for the residential
portion. Most of the common 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 residential lobby, an outdoor pet
area, and a fifteen foot wide tree lined sidewalk with bench seating.
Given the location of this project, 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, sidewalks, the Green River bike and pedestrian trail, the
Interurban bike and pedestrian trail, and Bicentennial Park.

Staff supports the amount of common space as proposed by the developer and recommends
that the development agreement treat the common space as open space with a minimum
requirement of 25 square feet per hotel room and 45 square feet per residential unit.
Building Height— In early 2013 the City approved a development agreement for this project 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 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 additional 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. Since the intent of the additional 10 feet is to enable
higher ceilings and the clubhouse, the proposed amendment to the development agreement
would not allow residential units or hotel rooms on the nineteenth floor.
Signage — The developer has proposed 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
and apartment entrance on the east side as shown in the attached elevations and renderings.
North Face: The developer originally proposed a wall sign of 840 square feet, which is shown in
the attached elevations. Assuming the project has a public entrance on the north side, the sign
code allows a sign up to 150 square feet.
West Face: The developer originally proposed a wall sign of 840 square feet. Assuming the
project 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 and tall buildings like this project. As such, limiting the wall face
signs to 150 square feet is 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 on tall buildings to a maximum of 300 square feet. Staff supports allowing larger signs
for this project 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.

When this item was discussed at the Community Affairs and Parks Committee (CAP) on April
15, 2014, staff recommended applying the formula from the MIC /H district which was developed
for large, industrial buildings. Based on that formula, the north face sign could be up to 733
square feet and the west face sign up to 561 square feet.
At least one member of CAP expressed concerns about applying the MIC /H formula to buildings
in a more retail area and setting a precedent for other properties. Based on that discussion.
staff recommends a formula similar to the formula in the Master Sign Program section of the
sign code (TMC 19.32.060) that would allow each of the two signs to be up to 6% of the
exposed building face to a maximum of 500 square feet. Given the size of the walls, the effect
would be to cap the signs at 500 square feet each. Those signs would be about 60% of the size
shown in the attachments. In addition, staff recommends requiring the wall signs to be channel -
type letters (as shown), disallowing projecting signs, corner projecting signs, and special
incentive signs for the parking garages.
Staff also recommends approving canopy edge signs up to 3.5 feet tall.
Staff recognizes that the community may have reservations about entitling this project to the
parking, open space, building height, and signage as described.
This is a pioneering project from which 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 trails, and nearby jobs
and amenities, this is a good opportunity to push the envelope to encourage development.
This project is a unique opportunity to encourage transit oriented development with a higher end
multi - family residential component than currently exists in Tukwila. Since this type of product
does not currently exist, it is difficult to prove the market demand in order to get financing. 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,
and the hotel participation that makes this project 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.
Public Notification -- Official notice of the public hearing was published in the Seattle Times on
April 14, 2014. The Community Affairs and Parks Committee discussed this item at their
meeting on April 15, 2014. The City also held an open house on April 16, 2014 at Albert Lee
Appliance for the public to meet with the developer and city staff and discuss the project and
proposed amendments to the development agreement. Staff mailed invitations to the nearby
businesses and property owners.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed amendment to the development agreement has no direct budget impact for the
City. 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 date, possibly in May or June.

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.rightsizeoarkinq.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

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 1n the - attached,; the,tool estimates that; the residential lcomponent of the:.proposed>
development would generate, on average,,la 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).
Parkinq 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.

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 less 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.

By valuing our employees, listening to our clients, and operating under the ideals of moral integrity, quality, and
accountability, we will lead the parking industry in service and financial results for our clients.
April 14th, 2014
To Whom It May Concern,
The purpose of this letter is to inform the City of Tukwila about the additional parking space that
can be created by implementing valet parking at the proposed new hotel. After reviewing the
design of the property and working with hotel management, we have come up with a scenario
where valet would be provided and accommodate additional vehicles while also leaving dedicated
parking for the apartment complex, allowing residents to self park at all times. Under this scenario
we are assuming that valet services would be provided 24/7.
We propose leaving some of the surface parking and levels 2, 3, and 4 of the garage open to the
residents of the apartment complex. Valet and hotel parking would be dedicated to the 1st floor of
the garage, as well as a small portion of the surface area parking. Under this scenario, we would be
able to completely stack the 1st floor maximizing the amount of vehicles that could be parked.
Access would be restricted to only valet team members. Under this scenario we believe we could at
the very least fit an additional 44 full -sized vehicles in the valet area.
When we stack vehicles there are several processes we use. One is installing small heavy -duty
secure key boxes that would store the keys of vehicles that are blocking other vehicles in. When a
valet retrieves a vehicle, they would access the key box to retrieve the keys of the blocking vehicle.
Another method is to keep all keys in a central location. Under this method, we tag the tickets of
the vehicles that are blocked in with the ticket number of the vehicle blocking it. If a vehicle is
requested that is blocked in, the valet knows to also grab the keys to the vehicle that is blocking it
in.
We would like to keep the valet area restricted to valet use only. This means that valet would only
use the valet designated areas of the garage. At no time would a valet stack or double park a vehicle
in the apartment parking section of the garage.
Ace Parking Management has extensive experience in the valet parking industry. In the greater
Seattle area alone we run multiple luxury hotels, as well as, several large corporate valet assist
programs. This gives us the expertise necessary to maximize space in the garage. With over 300
professionally trained employees in the area, it also allows us to staff a location in a moment's
notice, if needed.
For further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly. I can be reached by email
at nick hutsen@aceparking.com or through my direct office line at 206 - 903 -1219.

Nick Hutsen

C. Foster Golf Links Marketing Plan Update
Staff provided an update on the status of the Foster Golf Links (FGL) Marketing Plan that was
originally presented at Committee in November 2013. Strategies in the Marketing Plan were
identified as: 1) Retain and strengthen core customers; 2) Engage lapsed golfers; and 3) Attract
new customers. Items of note that address these strategies were described as follows:
• The Rewards Card program was launched on April 1, and 178 Rewards Cards have already
been sold. Councilmember Seal asked what the expectation for sales is, and staff indicated
that 600 card sales is realistic, but 1200 is possible.
• FGL has created 9 Get Golf Ready (GGR) instructional programs designed to engage new
and lapsed golfers. The first classes begin at the end of April.
• FGL has developed a Junior Golf Academy through the PGA that will begin in June.
• FGL will partner with the Parks youth programs to incorporate golf into their Summer Camps.
Lessons will take place at the Community Center.
• FGL has purchased a Verti -Drain aerator to begin the Fairway Aeration and Topdressing
Program.

D. Ordinance: Renewing Moratorium on Medical Cannabis Collective Gardens
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would renew the moratorium on medical
cannabis collective gardens and dispensaries through May 19, 2015, which if approved would be
the fourth renewal. Staff's position is that it needs additional clarity from the Washington State
Legislature before local land use controls can be developed for safe and effective regulation. It
is expected that the State will provide that clarity in a future session, either by merging the
medical cannabis and recreational marijuana regulations into a combined system, or by
establishing a separate regulatory system for medical cannabis. Also of note, on March 31,
2014, the State Court of Appeals ruled that medical marijuana, including participation in
collective gardens, is illegal and thereby affirmed the City of Kent's authority to prohibit collective
gardens. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MAY 12, 2014 COMMITTEE OF THE
WHOLE.
E. Briefing on Recreational Marijuana License Applications to the State
Staff provided information on the status of licensing for recreational marijuana producers,
processors and retailers in the City. As of February 18, the State Liquor Control Board listed 36
producer, processor or retailer applications for locations in Tukwila, representing 22 unique
addresses. As of today's date, this list has been reduced to 26. None of these properties meet
both state and City regulation. The five proposed locations that are allowed per the zoning the
City adopted in September 2013 are within 1,000 feet of Briscoe Park, making them disallowed
under State rules. There have been significant delays in the licensing process and the City cannot
yet fully assess potential impacts from recreational marijuana uses. INFORMATION ONLY.
F. Development Agreement Amendment: 223 Andover Park East with South Center WA, LLC
Staff is seeking Council approval of an amendment to an existing development agreement with
South Center WA, LLC for the construction of the Washington Place project at 223 Andover Park
East. The project plan has undergone some changes since the original development agreement
was approved by Council in March 2013, and the application for design review is scheduled to be
considered by the Board of Architectural Review (BAR) on May 22, 2014. The project as currently
proposed does not meet certain zoning and sign code standards, so City Council approval to
amend the development agreement would need to occur for BAR to consider the project. This
113
Community Affairs & Parks Committee Minutes April 15, 2014 - Pape 3
project is a unique opportunity to encourage transit - oriented development with a higher -end
multifamily residential component that does not otherwise exist in Tukwila. Council and staff have
previously recognized that this is a pioneering opportunity that may inform future adjustments to
Tukwila's codes.
Committee discussions on the four main areas in which the project proposal does not meet code
are summarized as follows:
Open Space
The project proposal includes approximately 20,000 square feet of open space in the form of
common areas for residents and hotel guests, including a large clubhouse on the top floor. In
addition, the development would include a 15 foot wide tree lined sidewalk with bench seating.
Under current zoning, 74,000 feet would be required, nearly half of the lot area. 25,525 square
feet would be required under the the City's proposed Southcenter Plan. Staff recommends the
developer's proposal for open space due to the location of this project and numerous indoor and
outdoor amenities nearby. The Committee agreed with this modification.
Building Height
The existing development agreement allows the building to be up to 180 feet in height. The
modified proposal now includes eighteen stories and a rooftop clubhouse for the use of residents
as well as some additional meeting room height on the second floor mezzanine. Staff
recommends allowing the additional height request of up to 190 feet because these are project
enhancements. The Committee agreed with this modification.
Signage
The size proposals for signage exceed the current sign code. Signs on the north and west faces
would be 840 square feet, while current code allows 150 square feet. The hotel canopy entrance
sign would have letters 3.5 feet in height, while the current code allows 1 foot in height. The City's
sign code did not anticipate buildings of this size and scale and 150 feet is very limited in the
context of wayfinding and marketability. For comparison, some wall faces at the mall are allowed
signs up to 500 square feet and buildings in the MIC /H District may have signs up to 1,500 square
feet depending on wall size. If the criteria used in MIC /H were applied to this project, the north
face sign could be up to 733 square feet and the west face sign up to 561. Staff recommends
allowing larger signs due to the scale of the project, and suggest applying the MIC /H criteria as
one reasonable strategy to reach compromise. The Committee did not agree to the use of MIC /H
criteria for signage due to the incomparable uses in that zone. Councilmembers affirmed the
uniqe needs of this project and would like to accommodate a compromise between code
requirements and the developer's proposal. They requested that staff bring alternatives for
calculating appropriate signage in a manner scalable to the building, amenable to the developer,
and fair to other business owners in the zone to the Committee of the Whole discussion.
Parking
The proposed project includes 498 parking stalls. The current code requires 939, but the
proposed Southcenter Plan code changes under separate consideration would require 594 stalls
for this project. A technical analysis conducted by the Transpo Group estimated a daily peak
parking demand of 458 stalls (340 for the residential units and 118 for the hotel.) Because there
are no similar developments in South King County, the actual parking need is unknown. Staff
recommends following the proposed Southcenter Plan parking requirement for residential and
assuming a 70% occupancy level for the hotel, resulting in a total of 537, or 39 more than the
proposal includes. Representatives for the owner indicated that the addition of these spaces
would necessitate a different structural design with significant impact to the ability of this project to
move forward.

Since the last discussions between the City and the owners on the matter of parking, Ace Parking
Management, Inc. submitted a letter claiming that 44 additional spaces could be created by
implementing valet parking service for the hotel. Staff intends to review this new information
further before revisiting their recommendation. The Committee did not make a recommendation
on parking but supports the analysis of the valet proposal prior to the Committee of the Whole
discussion.
FORWARD TO APRIL 28 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
