SPECIAL PERMISSION CRITERIA
Cargo containers are permitted in the following commercial zones after receiving Special
Permission from the Director: Regional Commercial, Regional Commercial Mixed Use, Tukwila
Urban Center, and Commercial /Light Industrial.
TMC 18.50.060 notes the performance standards for the placement of cargo containers in the
RCM zoning:
1. Only two cargo containers will be allowed per lot, maximum length 30 feet.
2. The container is located to minimize the visual impacts to adjacent properties, parks,
trails, and rights -of -way as determined by the Director.
3. The cargo container is sufficiently screened from adjacent properties, parks, trails and
rights -of -way, as determined by the Director. Screening may be a combination of solid
fencing, landscaping, or the placement of the cargo containers behind, between or within
buildings.
4. If located adjacent to a building, the cargo container must be painted to match the
building's color.
5. Cargo containers may not occupy any required off - street parking spaces.
6. Cargo containers shall meet all setback requirements for the zone.
7. Outdoor cargo containers may not be refrigerated.
8. Outdoor cargo containers may not be stacked.
CONCLUSION
The property's zoning does allow for the placement of a cargo container. However, the cargo
container does not meet the specific criteria laid out in TMC 18.50.060.
The cargo container does not meet criteria items, two, three, and four. The cargo container is
visible from surrounding properties and from Interurban Avenue. The container has no screening
and the applicant has not proposed any screening with the pending application. The cargo
container has been placed next to the building and the color of the container does not match the
building.
The City has tried unsuccessfully to have the applicant address these issues. A letter was sent to
the applicant on January 29, 2004 addressing the screening concerns. The City also sent the
applicant a certified letter on April 22, 2004. The applicant never responded to the letters.
The application is denied since the cargo container does not meet the criteria laid out in TMC
18.50.060. The City's decision is based upon the original application submittal and two site visits
to the property.
NOTICE AND ORDER
The property owner is advised that they are in violation of the following sections of the Tukwila
Municipal Code, TMC 18.260.030 "Accessory Uses" and TMC 18.50.060 "Cargo Containers as
Accessory Structures ".
The property owner is ordered to remove the cargo container from 13925 Interurban Avenue no
later than 14 -days from date of this Notice.
Failure to remove the cargo container will result in citations being issued through the Tukwila
Municipal Court of not more than $500 per day per violation.
This is the only Notice the City will issue on this matter.
APPEALS
This decision and the Notice and Order may be appealed to the Hearing Examiner within 14 -days
from issuance of this Notice of Decision (05/25/2004).
Appeal Materials shall include:
1. The name of the appealing party.
2. The address and phone number of the appealing party, and if the appealing party is a
corporation, association or other group, the address and phone number of a contact
person authorized to receive notices on the appealing party's behalf.
3. A statement identifying the decision being appealed and the alleged errors in the decision.
The Notice of Appeal shall state specific errors of fact or error in application of the law in
the decision being appealed; the harm suffered or anticipated by the appellant, and the
relief sought. The scope of an appeal shall be limited to matters or issues in the Notice of
Appeal.

RE: Pending Cargo Container Application
Dear Mr. Scozzafave:
City of Tukwila
Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director

screened from adjacent properties, parks, trails, and rights -of -ways. Screening may be a
combination of solid fencing or landscaping.

and adjacent rights -of -way.
Within 14 -day from the date of this letter, please submit a plan indicating how the cargo
container will meet the screening requirements laid out in TMC 18.50.060. If you do not

Dear Mr. Scozzafave:
City of Tukwila
Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director
The City has reviewed your application to locate a cargo container at 13925 Interurban
Avenue. Planning staff cannot approve the application because certain substantive issues
have not been resolved.
The Tukwila Municipal Code requires that cargo container be screened from view from
all adjacent properties and public rights -of -way. A visual inspection of the proposed
location shows that the container is visible from Interurban Avenue.
In order for the application to be approved screening must provided, which could include
a solid fence, landscaping, or combination thereof.
Your next step is to address the issues raised in this letter and provide a plan on how the
required screening will be met.

RE: Cargo Container Application, L03 -076
The City has reviewed the application to install a cargo container at 13925 Interurban Avenue South.
A site visit of the property on January 12, 2004 revealed several issues that must be addressed prior to
the City approving the permit.
Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.50.060 states the requirements for locating a cargo container in
the City. The cargo container at the property in question does not meet the following code
requirements.
1) The container must be located to minimize the visual impacts to adjacent properties, parks,
trails, and rights -of -way as determined by the Director.
2) The cargo container is sufficiently screened from adjacent properties, parks, trails, and
rights -of -way, as determined by the Director. Screening may be a combination of solid
fencing, landscaping, or the placement of the cargo containers behind, between, or within
buildings.
3) If located adjacent to a building, the cargo container must be painted to match the building's
color.
The cargo container is easily visible from Interurban Avenue. There is no landscaping or fencing,
which prevents the container from being viewed from the public right -of -way. Measures need to be
taken to screen the cargo container from view from the public right -of -way, such as additional
landscaping or the construction of a fence. Additionally, the cargo container must also be painted to
match the neighboring building.
Your next step is to address these comments and present a revised proposal.
If you have any questi• s, please call (206) 431 -3684 or send an email to bmiles u,ci.tukwila.wa.us.
