PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
PUBLIC HEARING
At 7:00 p.m. on December 6, 1982, the Tukwila City
Council will conduct a. public hearing on a proposed
amendment to the zoning regulations governing the
planned residential development of new housing in
Tukwila. A Planned Residential Development or PRD is
a permit process that may be followed by property
owners who wish to develop new residences on
properties which are one acre in size or larger. The
PRD makes it possible for larger developments to have
all their plans reviewed at one time without having to
go through a series of reviews on separate parts of the
plans.
The proposed zoning changes would permit large
single family properties to be built with single family
homes on separate lots like traditional subdivisions.
However, the lots would not be restricted to a specific
lot size such as 7200 square feet but instead would be
restricted to the required setbacks of each house from
its own lot lines. This proposed amendment would not
allow a greater density of houses on th property even
though developed under a PRD, but would allow yard
gpace normally associated with large lots to be used
for common recreation purgposes by the PRD's
residents. Since a minimum of twenty percent of the
total site area is required for common open space, it
would be like a sub - division with its own playfield, ten-
nis courts, or other recreational facilities. The pro-
posed amendment would not permit housing types
other than detached single family houses in any R -1
zoning districts. The proposed changes will permit
smaller individual lot sizes for single family homes, if
the City Council approves the PRD's use of that yard
space for common recreation areas.
WOULD
1. Permit large R -1 zoned properties to be
built with single family homes on separate
lots like traditional subdivisions under PRD
provisions;
2. Restrict minimum lot size to the existing
requirements of R -1 setbacks for each house
from its own lot lines (lot size would increase
as building lot coverage increased);
3. Allow yard space normally assosciated
with large lots to be used for common re-
creation purposes by the PRD's residents;
4. Permit smaller individual lot sizes for
single family homes, only if the City Council
approves the PRD's use of that yard space for
common recreation areas;
5. Be like a subdivision with its own
playfield, tennis courts, or other recreational
facilities instead of big yards for each home.
WOULD NOT
1. Permit housing types other than detached
single family housing in any R -1 zoning
districts;
2. Restrict minimum lot size to a specific
lot size such as 7200 square feet;
3. Allow a greater density of houses on the
property developed under a PRD than under a
traditional subdivision;
4. Require City Council approval of smaller
individual lot sizes for single family homes;
5. Be like a traditional single family -
subdivision.

August 26, 1982
Mr. Westlund explained that the land owner will still be buying the same
amount of property as he would without a PRD, because the excess land not
used for his yard area will be accumulated together in which each family
will have a percentage.
Circulation Map- -The Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan Map on circulation
was reviewed by the applicant and Commissioners. Most roads on McMicken
Heights are local access, with the exception of Klickitat.
Mr. Westlund requested the code, Chapter 18.46.050,be amended so that PRD
on single family districts may be located on local access roads.
Mr. Collins said it would be acceptable to the Planning Department to
exempt single family Planned Residential Developments fram locating on
a major, secondary or collector arterial.
Mr. Collins urged the Planning Commission take action on this tonight and
restated the Planning Staff's endorcement of PRD in single family districts.
Mr. Knudson questioned the effect of attached vs. detached dwelling units for
PRD's.
Mr. Westlund responded the efficiency of shared utility hook -ups and energy
savings would be better With attached dwelling units.
Mr. Collins explained that a PRD in the single family district allows that
builder to build around environmental sensitive areas such as a steep
slope or allow the builder to take advantage of unique site occurance such
as several lots taking advantage of a view. However if the builder wants to
take advantage of the economies of multi - family he may rezone the property.
Most of the remaining R -1 properties are environmentally sensitive.
Having heard all persons who wished to address the Planning Catmission,
.Chairman Kirsop closed the Public Hearing at 10:15 p.m.
Mrs. Avery questioned whether this concept would still be R -l. Mr. Collins
responded that this would still be single family residential.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM Application 82- 14 -CA, Bel Crest Realty, Inc.
INTRODUCTION
Bel Crest Realty, Inc.. has submitted a request for the City
to amend the zoning code in order to allow Planned Residential
Development (PRD) in the R -1 single family districts. Pre-
sently, a PRD is allowed only in multiple family districts,
including R -2, R -3, R -4, and RMH. Bel Crest Realty proposes
that it is the intent of TMC Chapter 18.46 - Planned Residen-
tial Development to allow flexibility in site and building
design in all residential districts including single family
and that to not allow PRD in single family districts would be
arbitrary. Bel Crest Realty supports their request by noting
that King County has recently adopted a similar ordinance
which permits planned unit development in low density single
family districts.
FINDINGS
1) The Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan encourages di-
versity of housing development through a planned unit
development approach, providing a variety in housing
types (Residence Section 2: Objective 1, Policy 1).
2) The Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan promotes pro -
tection from intrusions of incompatible land uses and
prohibits spot zoning in established residential neigh-
borhoods. (Residence, Objective 1, Policy 4).
3) TMC 18.06.620 defines Planned Residential Development
(PRD) as follows:
A form of residential development characterized by
a unified site design for a number of dwelling units,
clustering buildings and providing common open space,
density bonuses, and a mix of building types. The
PRD is an overlay zone which is superimposed over the
underlying zone district as an exception to such dis-
trict regulations, as processed through procedures
specified in Chapter 18.46.
Page -2-
PLANNING COMMIS )N - STAFF REPORT
TMC 18.46.020 permits PRD only in multiple' family districts:
A) R -2 Two Family Residential;
B) R -3 Three and Four Family Residential;
C) R -4 Low Apartments;
D) RMH Multiple Residence High Density.
5) TMC 18.46.030 encourages all types of residential buildings,
including both single and multiple family in a PRD provided
they are intended for permanent occupancy.
6) TMC 18.46.040 requires the minimum site of a PRD be one acre.
7) TMC 18.46.050 requires the PRD be served by, an arterial
street.
8) : TMC 18..46...060 waives the minimum lot size and yard require-
ments in a PRD. The number of dwelling units per net acre
in the underlying zone determines the basic density in a PRD.
9) TMC 18.46.070 (2) allows the Planning Commission to recom-
mend and the City Council to authorize a maximum density
bonus of twenty (20) percent of the basic density for the
provision of certain amenities or design features, including
a variety of housing types, retention of natural vegetation
and taking advantage of a significant site feature, such as
a stream or view.
10) TMC 18.46.080 requires each PRD provide a minimum of
twenty (20) percent of the gross site area for common open
space.
Density Issue
11) TMC 18.46.090 (2) requires the setbacks from the property
line of the PRD be compatible with or comparable to those
of adjacent properties.
CONCLUSIONS
Historically, the central issues of.permitting PRD in single
family districts are density, design layout and housing types.
Other issues, such as traffic and noise, tend to be secondary
to these three issues.
In a PRD, the dwelling unit density is determined by the under-
lying zone district. A maximum density bonus of twenty (20)
percent may be granted to an applicant who demonstrates that
substantial amenities or design features are included in the
project. The following table shows for a one acre parcel the
basic dwelling unit density, a twenty (20) percent maximum
density bonus and the total possible number of dwelling units
for single and two family districts:

R -2 10.89 + 2.18 = 13.07
R -1 -7200 6.05 + 1.21 = 7.26
R -1 -9600 4.54 + 0.91 = 5.45
R -1- 12,000 3.63 + 0.73 = 4.36
R -1- 20,000 2.18 + 0.44 = 2.62
Hence, for one acre, the maximum number of dwelling units permitted in
a single family district is 7.26, which is 3.63 dwelling units less
than the basic density of 10.89 dwelling units for a two family dis-
trict. The two family district is by definition the lowest density
multiple family district permitted by the zoning code; other multiple
family districts allow for more dwelling units per acre.
In a PRD, the minimum lot and yard requirements are waived for added
flexibility in design layout. For instance, buildings may be cluster-
ed together to take advantage of a site feature. Or, buildings may
be spread out creating an 'atmosphere of privacy. In a PRD, yard set-
backs may vary; however,the Tukwila zoning code requires the property
line setbacks be like those of nearby developments, protecting the
properties from encroachment of the PRD.
Frequently.in a PRD, dwelling units are attached to one another, free-
ing yard area for other uses. Dwelling units may be arranged in low,
medium, or high density buildings, including single family, duplex,
triplex, rowhouse, townhouse and apartment buildings.
Housing Type Issue
Housing type and the number of units are important factors in defin-
ing the neighborhood's character. With all other factors equal,
including number of units, it is the housing arrangement and type
that creates the image of a neighborhood. For instance, a PRD in a
single family district may create the illusion of a multiple family
district if the dwelling units are attached to one another even
though the density remains that of a single family district. On the
other hand, the image of a PRD in a single family district generally
remains low density residential if the dwelling units are in detached
buildings.
ALTERNATIVES
Several alternatives are available for the Planning Commission to
consider regarding PRD in single family districts. Options include:
Page -4-
PLANNING COMMISSIT7 STAFF REPORT
1) To allow PRD in single family districts with detached
housing units requiring minimum setbacks between units
but not minimum lot sizes.
2) To allow PRD in single family districts without a
density bonus.
4
To allow PRD in single family districts limited to
detached ? and basic dwelling unit density of
the underlying zone district.
To prohibit PRD in sihcil family districts, as the pre-
sent zoning code currently reads.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff endorses greater flexibility in zoning requirements for resi-
dential developments, encouraging imaginative site and building
design. Therefore, staff advises that the Planning. Commission re-
commend the City Council approve the following amendments to TMC
18.46:
1) 18.46.020 - Include "R -1 Single Family Residential"
2) 18.46.030 - Add a new permitted use and revise language
to 18.46.030(1) as follows: •
(1) "Single family dwellings, pursuant to the height
and yard regulations of Chapter 18.50 for the
R -1 -7.2 district."
(2) "In R -2, R -3, R -4, and RMH districts," residential

«'OTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING (;
OF THE TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL
Public Hearing: a proposed amendment to the Tukwila Zoning Code that would allow the city
council to approve planned residential development of detached single family houses in single
family (R -1) residential zones.
Date: January 17, 1983, Nbnday
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Place: Tukwila City Hall, Council Chambers
6200 Southcenter Blvd., Tukwila, WA
At 7:00 p.m. on January 17, 1983, the Tukwila
City Council will conduct a public hearing on
a proposed amendment to the zoning regulations
governing the planned residential development
of new housing in Tukwila. A Planned Resi-
dential Development or PRD is a permit process
that may be followed by property owners who
wish to develop new residences on properties
which are one acre in size or larger. The PRD
makes it possible for larger developments to
have all their plans reviewed at one time
without having to go through a series of
reviews on separate parts of the plans.
The proposed zoning changes would permit large
single family properties to be built with
single family homes on separate lots like
traditional subdivisions. However, the lots
would not be restricted to a specific lot size
such ,as 7200 square feet but instead would be
restricted to the required setbacks of each
house from its own lot lines. This proposed
amendment would not allow a greater density of
houses on the property even though developed
under a PRD but would allow yard space
normally associated with large lots to be used
for common recreation purposes by the PRD's
residents. Since a minimum of twenty percent
of the total site area is required for common
open space, it would be like a subdivision
with its own playfield, tennis courts, or
other recreational facilities. The proposed
amendment would not permit housing types
other than detached single family houses in
R -1 zoning districts. The proposed changes
will permit smaller individual lot sizes for
single family homes, if the Council
approves the PRD's use of that yard space for
common recreation areas.
WOULD
1. Permit large R -1 zoned properties to be
built with single family homes on separate
lots like traditional subdivisions under
PRD provisions;
2. Restrict minimum lot size to the existing
requirements of R -1 setbacks for each
house from its own lot lines (lot size
would increase as building lot coverage
increased);
3. Allow yard space normally associated with
large lots to be used for common
recreation purposes by the PRD's residents;
4. Permit smaller individual lot sizes for
single family homes, only if the City
Council approves the PRD's use of that
yard space for common recreation areas;
5. Be like a subdivision with its own play -
field, tennis courts, or other recrea-
tional facilities instead of big yards
for each home.
WOULD NOT
1. Allow a greater density of houses on the
property developed under a PRD than under
a traditional subdivision; -
2. Obligate City Council approval of smaller
individual lot sizes for single family
homes;
3. Be exactly like a traditional single
family subdivision.

Knew ordinance to allow planned
• - residential development . (PRD) in',::

narrowly passed byt Tukwila City;
Council on a 4 -3 vote Monday night. -
A PRD allows single - family houses •
to be built closer together on dif-
ficult lots, such as those partly on
steep slopes, as long as the overall
housing density is equivalent to
standard single - family zoning. •
Criteria for PRDs include giving
the city an "extraordinary benefit."
Councilman George Hill again op-
posed the ordinance, saying• that
instead of the ordinance being - for:
the city's benefit, developers would
use it to their advantage. "I don't feel
we're still protecting our citizens.
We're selling them down the river,"
he said. .
But councilwoman Doris Phelps. -
' • reiterated that each PRD will have to ..
• ,be "scrutinized" by the •Planning :
Commission and City Council before
being approved. . ,
Other council members support-
ing
the ordinance were Lionel 'Bud" '
bohrer, Mabel Harris and Wendy
Morgan. Joining with Hill in opposi= '
tion were Joe Duffie and Ed Bauch.
Most of the discussion Monday on
the long- debated issue wasn't on the
ordinance itself, but on whether

•potential PDR properties could be

Bauch asked city attorney Dan

Woo said he wasn't aware of any
' attorney general opinion on the most
recent legislation, limiting how the
fairness doctrine can be applied, but
said he didn't think a council memo-
er could be excluded from voting
just on the basis of proximity.

OLYMPIA (AP) •=- A' bill that .
would allow waivers of some sew=

result in dangerous wastes being
dumped into Puget Sound, environ-
mentalists have told Washington
lawmakers.
However, representatives of
cities said if the bill doesn't pass,
taxpayers will face some very high
bills to upgrade sewage treatment
plants.
Judy Turpin, lobbyist for the
— Washington Environmental Coun-
:il, told a legislative committee
Monday that the bill would allow
the state Department of Ecology to
forego its own requirements in
favor of less stringent rules of the
federal Environmental Protection
Agency.
"To say that the current ad-
ministration of the EPA has not won
the confidence of the environmen-
tal community is a gross under-
. statement," she said.
Tom Wimmer, a founder of the
Environmental Council and memb -'
er of a Citizens Coalition for Clean

cities are "already using Puget

Murder'charged in death
of robbery victim;. 78
The death of an elderly Riverton -area man from
a heart attack after he was robbed of his wallet
Thursday, resulted Tuesday in the filing of a first:
degree murder charge against a Graham, Wash.,
man.
Douglas Brian Wheeler, 21, is scheduled.to be.
arraigned on the charge in King County Superior
Court today. He is being held in King County Jail in
lieu of bail set at $100,000. '
Andrew Pilon, 78, of 12420 First Ave. S., died of
cardiac arrest after Wheeler allegedly put a finger
in the victim's back, told him he had a gun and then
proceeded to take the victim's wallet by force,
according to an affidavit filed with the charge by -
Deputy County Prosecutor Robert C. Ryan.
The incident occurred while Pilon was walking •
to'Waive requirements for a state
permit to dump sewage into the
Sound or other salt water if it thinks
a federal permit is adequate.
State law now requires sewage to
'receive "secondary or the best
practical treatment" before being
: discharged into public waters.
King Couhty Metro has applied
for a waiver, asking to be allowed to
continue "primary" treatment at a
sewage outfall proposed for south-
ern King County.
The bill would allow the depart-
ment to grant that waiver if Metro,
can satisfy EPA requirements.
John Spencer, deputy director of
the Department of Ecology, said
the bill "will allow the department
to exercise its discretion and to
concur with the EPA to authorize
less than secondary treatment to be
discharged into deep marine wa-
ters."
The department, he said, "could
require .more stringent require-
ments than the EPA."
Wimmer said environmentalists
"are extremely distressed that the
department has caved in" to the
EPA.
"We're creating the same condi-
tions , that are destroying the
Mediterranean Sea," Wimmer said.

A proposed Tukwila zoning ordinance has
raised fears among some citizens that it could
create suburbah slums in the city. However,
others believe the ordinance will mean more
attractive neighborhoods for the city.
Tukwila City Council is considering an ordi-
nance which would allow planned residential
developments. Approval of the new zone would
mean a developer could build houses on smaller
lots than now allowed, . while leaving more
community open space to make up for the
smaller lots. •
A dozen Tukwila residents squared off against
a developer who supports the ordinance during a
public hearing Monday night. Tukwila's plan-
ning staff also supports the ordinance.
Councilman George Hill has been an outspo-
ken critic of planned residential development. "I
can't see crowding a bunch of houses together
for the sake of someone making an extra buck,"
he said at last month's hearing. "I don't like it."
Other forms of
The Tukwila City Council reviewed Monday a
. possible change in its mayor /council form of
government — a question that seems to pop up in
Tukwila from time to time.
The council voted unanimously to review five
options, including its current form of govern-
ment, on a time schedule prepared by Bohrer.
Bohrer was appointed by the council last year to
come up with a schedule.
The options include: 1) retention of , the
current form of government, which features a
part -time mayor with an administrative assis-
tant; 2) mayor - council form of government with
increased salary for the mayor and no adminis-
trative assistant; 3) mayor- council form of
government with a reduction in the mayor's
salary and provision for a full time'city adminis-
trator who reports to the mayor; 4) council -
manager form of government; and 5) other
alternatives as suggested by the council.
Through February
The time schedule calls for discussion on the
review plan at a council workshop meeting next
week. Presentations on various forms of govern-

18.46.120 Application procedures for building permit. _
The following procedures are required for approval of construc-
tion for the proposed planned residential development:
(1) Time Limitation. A complete application for the
initial building permit .shall be filed by the applicant within
twelve months of the date on which the city council approved •
the PRD. An extension of time for submitting an application
may be requested in writing by the applicant, and an extension
not exceeding six months may be granted by the city council.
If application for the intiial building permit is not made
within twleve months or within the time for which an exten-
sion has been granted, the plan shall be considered abandoned,
and the development of the property shall be subject to the
requirements and limitations of the underlying zone and the
subdivision code.
(2) Application. Application for building permit shall
be made on forms prescribed by the planning department and
shall be accompanied by a fee as prescribed by the building
code.
(3) Documentation Required. A13. schematic plans either
presented or required in the approved'PRD plans shall be
included in the building permit application presented in
— finalized, detailed form suitable for recording and engineer-
ing. These plans shall include but are not limited to land- .
scape, utility, open space, circulation, and site or subdi-
vision plans. Final plats- and public dedication documents
must be approved by the city council before the issuance of
any building permits.
(4) Sureties Required for Staging. If the PRD is to be
developed in stages, sureties shall be required for the com-
plete PRD. The various stagesCr parts of the PRD shall pro-
vide the same proportion of open space and the same overall •
dwelling unit density as provided in the final plan.
(5) Planning Department Action. The planning depart-
ment shall determine whether the project plans submitted with
the building permit are in compliance with and carry out the
objectives of the approved PRD. Following approval of the
planning department, the city clerk shall file a copy of the
approved plan with the official records of the city and
.
the originals shall be recorded with the King County depart- '
ment of records and elections. After all approvals, the
official zoning map shall be amended to reflect the PRD by
adding the suffix "PRD" to the designation of the underlying
zone. (Ord. 1247 S1(part), 1982).
18.46.130 Minor and major adjustments. If minor adjust -
ments or changes are proposed following the approval of the
PRD, by the city council as provided in Section 18.46.120, •
such adjustments shall be approved by the planning depart-
ment prior to the issuance of a building permit. Minor adjust-
ments are those which may affect the precise dimensions or
siting of structures, but which do not affect the basic
character or arrangement of structures approved in the final
plan, or the density of the development or open space provided.
Major adjustments are those which, as determined by the plan
ning department, substantially change the basic design, density;
open space, or other substantive requirement or provision. If
the applicant wishes to make one or more major changes, a re-
vised plan must be approved pursuant to Section 18.46.120.
(Ord. 1247 §1(part), 1982).
• 18.46.140 Expiration of time limits. Construction of
improvements in the PRD shall begin within twelve months from
the date of the filing of the final PRD plan by the city clerk
as provided in Section 18.46.130. An extension of time for
beginning construction may be requested in writing by the appli-
cant, and such :extension not exceeding six months may be
granted the planning commission upon showing of good cause.
If construction does not occur within eighteen months from
the date of filing of PRD plans by the city clerk, the PRD
zoning suffix shall be dropped from the official zoning map
and the zoning shall revert to the underlying designation.
(Ord. 1247 S1(part), 1982).

Dear Ms. West:
6200 Southcenter Boulevard "
Tukwila Washington 98188
Gary L. VanDusen, Mayor
In response to your questions of January 18,.1983,.I hope the following
answers provide you with the information that is helpful.
The underlined language in the draft ordinance indicates new language
that is proposed .(except for Section headings which are underlined for
easy identification purposes). Consequently, the R -2 through RMH dis-
tricts are already "permitted districts."
The height and yard regulations for all R -I zoning districts 7200
square foot to 20000 square foot minimum lots are identical. Hopefully
the impression given to the citizens and the meaning of the height and
yard regulations for PRD's was and is that height and yard regulations
would be the same for R -1 residences whether a PRD process was followed
or not.
Regardless of underlying residential zoning districts from R -1 -20 to RMH,
commercial uses are not. permitted for any of these zoning districts (except
for individual professional offices in RMH only). In PRD's that are 10
. acres or greater commercial uses of a neighborhood convenience nature
such as a grocery store, florist, or shoe repair business may be permitted
if the City Council agrees that they are needed to serve the development.
It is doubtful that any PRD's will be large enough: to. warrant such
commercial services in Tukwila at this time.
"Basic" density is computed by dividing the total available land area by
the minimum square footage per each housing unit. Both Sections
18.46.060(1) and 18.46.070(2) mean that the "basic" PRD density cannot be
more than the underlying zoning density. In R -1 districts there is no
"bonus" PRD density for extraordinary public benefits. In R -2 to R}
districts there may be a "bonus" PRD density increase up to 20% if. the
City Council approves extraordinary public benefits. Consequently, in R -1
districts the PRD density cannot be more than the underlying zone, but in
R -2 to RMH districts it could be if approved by the City Council.

Collins, Planning Director
By adding City approval of restrictive covenants to the PRD review process,
the other planning, subdivision, and building regulations must still
be reviewed and approved before the PRD can be developed. Your impression
is correct; each PRD must have City Council approval of size of each lot,
placement of houses on the lots, sizes and designs of .the houses, street,
lighting, sewers, storm drains, sidewalks, driveways, and expected use
of the community grounds. Some of these reviews may be done more exten-
sively by City staff, but all are approved by the City Council for each PRD.
No changes have been made since the Monday, January 17th meeting, but the
Council is considering the public input of that.hearing. If changes are made
by the Council at subsequent meetings, you.will be. informed.
Thank you for writing down your concerns.. We are able to respond to your
written comments more completely and hopefully to your satisfaction.
