BACKGROUND ( 89 -8 -DR Crt al Springs Park Phase II Page 2 The site plan for Crystal Springs Park was originally developed in 1978 and this proposal is an expansion of the original. It will provide additional recreation space and public restroom facilities. The site is designated for Parks /Open Space in the Comprehensive Plan and has been used as a park historically. The environmental factors have been addressed through the SEPA process. The City has issued a Determination of Nonsignificance. The purpose of this review is to determine the amount of parking required for the second phase of development for CRYstal Springs Park. A park is considered a public facility and TMC 18.56.05 states that "parking for public facilities must be determined by the Planning Commission." At the present time there are no set criteria by which to evaluate the number and amount of parking spaces in park facilities in Tukwila. STAFF REPORT to the B.A.R. DECISION CRITERIA 89 -8-DR C{, ':al Springs Park Phase II Page 3 The proposal is to develop an eight acre site as Phase Two of a pre - existing park. The anticipated activity of the site is passive as the design includes areas for walking, running, picnicking and a children's play area, all considered passive activities. As shown by Attachment B, no parking is proposed on site. The adjacent phase one part of the park which includes a basketball and tennis court has a parking area for 12 automobiles. The restroom facility will be located in the phase one area, in a location which is central to both areas, and will provide a much needed amenity for the overall park. Park policies concerning parking requirements for adjacent cities including Renton, Kent and Auburn were polled and the following information was obtained: 1. Neighborhood parks in general are not required to have on -site parking. A neighborhood park is generally characterized by the following: a. small size b. not having recreation features which would attract a large population. c planned around walking, running and biking trails and children's play equipment. d. uses are intended to be served by walk or bike access only 2. Rationale for not requiring parking included the following: a. concerns about safety in response to complaints about objectionable activities in park parking lots after dark b. neighboring residents concerns over traffic congestion and aesthetics c. anticipated low levels of use by users outside neighborhood area 3. Alternatives to parking which were acceptable in certain circumstances included on -street parking and utilization of existing parking lots. If activities were scheduled at the site, parking was required. CONCLUSIONS A sample survey of the site during peak use indicates a lack of heavy use of the existing parking lot. In view of the low level of use anticipated as a result of the passive recreation elements provided by the park it is unlikely that additional parking will be required. A street widening improvement project will be done in conjunction with this park project. This will result in the widening of • 51st Avenue South to include a parking lane which could safely accommodate up to 14 cars on the west side of the street. REPORT to the B.A.R. RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning Division recommends the proposal be accepted without requiring additional parking spaces. 89 -8-DR C( xa1 Springs Park Phase II Page 4 'r. 0 rJ 4 u HW.Y. • IL 4 rAll I . f•f• I 1; 4- I I . 21 2.
