PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
IV) C. : 84-22-CUP: Doubletree Plaza Arts and Crafts Festival
AGENDA ITEM
INTRODUCTION
On July 4, 1984, the Doubletree Plaza Hotel proposes to hold an arts and craft
fair and small carnival. Entertainment events will be conducted inside the
hotel. An arts and crafts sale, merry -go- round, pony rides, putting contest and
helicopter rides will be located in the hotel parking lot and lawn area.
FINDINGS
1. The subject property is located in the C -P zone (TMC 18.34) which permits a
wide variety of retail uses and shopping centers. The proposed 4th of July
celebration falls within a "festival" and /or "carnival" of TMC 18.64.020(1)
thereby requiring conditional use permit approval by the Planning Commission
per TMC 18.64.040 subject to the criteria of TMC 18.64.050. The Planning
Commission may approve, modify, or deny the application.
2. TMC 18.64.020(1) and the definitional portion of the Zoning Code (TMC 18.04)
do not define a "festival." Therefore, upon advise of the City Attorney, the
standard defintion in the dictionary was applied, which indicated a "festival"
to be:
"A time of celebration marked by special observances...an occasion
devoted to festive community observances often held annually to celebrate
the anniversary of a notable person or event..."
The proposed celebration on the 4th of July, our nation's independence holi-
day, falls within this definition. Therefore, a conditional use permit is
required of the applicant.
3. The Doubletree Plaza Hotel parking lot contains a double row of parking stalls
adjacent to the westerly portion of the building which the hotel feels will
accommodate the features of the celebration without unduly restricting their
parking. The hotel asserts that parking permission has been given by adjacent
property owners to accomodate any overflow parking demand. It is also
asserted that the event being held on a national holiday has in the past
experienced less than normal demand for parking in the area due to fewer busi-
nesses being open.
4. The proposal does not include a fireworks demonstration.

5. A helicopter will take off and land on the north lawn portion of the property.
A golf putting contest will also be held on this lawn area, scheduled to not
conflict with the helicopter rides.
CONCLUSIONS
1. Material detriment or injury to other properties or improvements in the area
is not likely to occur as a result of the proposal (TMC 18.64.050(1)). The
festival is confined to the Doubletree Plaza Hotel property, except for the
helicopter rides which will fly over the central business district (CBD).
This will not produce any material detriment or injury to the public welfare
provided the federal, state and local safety and health regulations are met
relative to the equipment and its use.
2. The proposal is an exception to the normally permitted uses and development
standards of the C -P zone. However, the festival's confinement to the center
of the property essentially meets the standards of the zone (TMC
18.64.050(2)).
3. Due to the holiday on which the festival will be held, it is anticipated that
minimal traffic will exist in this area of the central business district.
However, the Police Department lacks experience of such festivals in the CBD
to be able to predict the overall impact on traffic circulation. It's antici-
pated that many of the businesses in the CBD will be closed that day, thereby
reducing the overall traffic and produce alteration of the peak traffic
demands usually experienced on a weekday in the CBD (TMC 18.64.050(3)). To
insure control of parking and vehicular circulation on the site, a person
should be available to perform this control as needed.
4. The Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan largely does not address the proposed
use. However, one of the policies for the commercial area is to promote
retail activities (Policy 4, Page 65). In addition, the Comprehensive Plan
incourages preservation of public health, safety and welfare. Provided ampli-
cable federal, state, and local health and safety regulations are met, the
proposal will implement the Comprehensive Plan (TMC 18.64.050(4)).
5. As long as the aforementioned health and safety regulations are complied with
the potential impacts upon the CBD and adjacent properties appears to be mini-
mized (TMC 18.64.050(5)). Assurance of this compliance may actually rest
with the Tukwila Police Department, but this is not certain due to the City's
lack of experience with this kind of festival.
RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the above staff recommends the application be approved subject to:
1. Compliance with applicable federal, state and city regulations regarding
public health and safety.
