NOTICE OF DECISION
This letter serves as a Notice of Decision and is issued pursuant to Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC)
18.401.170.
Request for an increase, from 150 sq. ft. to 500 -sq. ft. for King County Museum of Flight located at
9404 East Marginal Way S.
This decision is based on the Findings and Conclusions listed below.
BACKGROUND
File Number: L04 -073, SO4 -085
Applicant: Craig Parsons on behalf of the Museum of Flight
Request: Approval for a Special Permission Sign, increasing the allowable
sign area. The maximum allowed sign is proposed to be
increased from 150 to 500- sq. ft.
Location: 9404 East Marginal Way S
Comprehensive Plan Designation: MIC /H
Zoning District: MIC /H
SEPA: No determination required
Staff: Brandon J. Miles, Assistant Planner
FINDINGS
Steven M Mullet, Mayor
Vicinity /Site Information
The sign being proposed will be located on the southwest wall of 9404 East Marginal Way South directly
towards East Marginal Way and Museum of Flight Place. The zoning on the property is MIC/H and
surrounding land uses are industrial. The exposed building face (EBF) is 15,200 square feet. With the
approval of the Special Permission Application, the wall sign would be 500 square feet (3.2% of EBF)
versus the normal maximum of 150 square feet (0.009% of EBF).

Existing Signage
The Museum of Flight currently has two small freestanding signs located along East Marginal Way.
These signs were permitted under the premise that these would qualify as the Museum's quota for signs,
thus they would not be permitted to have additional a signs, either freestanding or wall. The Museum has
now proposed to classify these small freestanding signs as internal informational signs. These signs do
not meet the area and content restrictions that can be permitted outright for internal informational signs.
However, the Planning Commission has the authority to waive certain requirements when a demonstrated
need for such signs exists. The Museum will be pursuing obtaining Special Permission from the Planning
Commission for the retention of these freestanding signs.
Decisional Criteria
TMC 19.32.140(A) allows permitted sign area to be increased by 50% for each doubling of the required
minimum setback...but in no case shall the sign area exceed that permitted in TMC 19.32.150. Pursuant
to TMC 19.32.150, the maximum allowed sign area could be 6% of the exposed building face (EBF) up
to maximum of 500 sq. ft.
There is no required side setback in the MIC/H. Thus, Museum of Flight would be permitted to have a
wall sign equal to 500 square feet of six percent of the wall area, which ever is less.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The building is setback a sufficient distance to allow an increase in the wall sign area.
2. The proposed sign area is 500 -sq. ft which is equal to the maximum permitted size for a wall
sign.
CONDTIONS
1. The Museum of Flight shall seek to have the two freestanding signs located on East Marginal
Way classified as internal informational signs by the City's Planning Commission.
Application for Special Permission from the Planning Commission shall be submitted within
90 -days from the date of this Notice of Decision. If these freestanding signs cannot be
classified as internal informational signs they must be removed.
APPEAL PROCESS
This decision may be appealed to the Planning Commission within 14 days from the issuance of this
Notice of Decision. All appeal material must be submitted to the Department of Community
Development. If you wish to appeal this decision, please call the Department of Community Development
at 206 -431 -3670 to obtain a copy of appeal procedures.

REVIEW CRITERIA
Please consult the Zoning Code or Sign Code as to the appropriate criteria for your specific
proposals. In addition all approvals must be consistent with the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan
(TMC 18.100.030).
Planning Division staff are available to discuss the decision criteria you must respond to and
necessary supporting materials.
PARKING DEVIATION
❑ Covenant Parking: where required parking is provided off -site (TMC 18.56.070(B));
❑ Complementary Parking: where up to 10% of a development's useable floor area is
determined to be linked to remaining area, such that it need not provide the normally
required parking (TMC 18.56.070(D));
❑ Reduction of the minimum required parking of up to 10 %, through an administrative
variance (TMC 18.56.140).
A parking reduction may be allowed after:
a. All shared parking strategies are explored.
b. On -site park and ride opportunities are fully explored.
c. The site is in compliance with the City's commute trip reduction ordinance or, if not
an affected employer as defined by the City's ordinance, agrees to become affected.
d. The site is at least 300 feet away from a single - family residential zone.
e. A report is submitted providing a basis for less parking and mitigation necessary to
offset any negative effects.
In addition to the above requirements, the Director may require specific measures not listed
to ensure that all impacts with reduced parking are mitigated. Any spillover parking that
cannot be mitigated to the satisfaction of the Director will serve as the basis for denial.
LANDSCAPE DEVIATIONS
❑ The landscape perimeter may be averaged if the total required square footage is achieved,
unless the landscaping requirement has been increased due to proximity to LDR, MDR or
HDR. Landscape perimeter averaging may be allowed as a Type 2 special permission
decision if all of the following criteria are met:
P:Vted_Book\SPD APP.DOC.04 /15/03
c. On -site planting of all required replacement trees is not feasible, and the project
includes an equivalent contribution in funds and/or labor and materials for off-site tree
planting as jointly agreed by the applicant and Director.
d. Smaller -sized replacement plants are more suited to the species, site conditions, and to
the purposes of this chapter, and are planted in sufficient quantities to meet the intent of
this chapter.
❑ Retention and Replacement of Canopy Cover - on undeveloped sites or sites with dense
stands of trees, where the cost of identification of individual tree species and sizes is
inordinate relative to the project, the Director may allow the applicant to use the tree canopy
cover approach outlined below to calculate retention and replacement of trees:
SENSITIVE AREA ORDINANCE DEVIATIONS
❑ Setbacks.
All commercial and industrial developments shall be set back 15 feet and all residential
development shall be set back ten feet, measured from the foundation to the buffer's edge.
The Director may waive setback requirements when a site plan demonstrates there will be
no impacts to the buffer zone.
❑ Buffers
1. The site shall have a minimum canopy cover equal to 20% of the site area, or equal to
the existing canopy cover whichever is less.
2. To meet the requirements for site canopy cover, canopy cover may consist of any
combination of existing trees and replacement trees. Canopy cover of each new tree
shall be calculated at 314 square feet.
The Director may reduce the standard wetland/watercourse buffers on a case - by - case basis,
provided the buffer does not contain slopes 20% or greater. The approved buffer width
shall not result in greater than a 50% reduction in width, and the reduced buffer shall not be
less than 15 feet for wetlands and ten feet for watercourses. Any buffer reduction proposal
must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Director that it will not result in direct or
indirect, short-term or long -term adverse impacts to wetlands or watercourses, and that:
1. The buffer is vegetated and includes an enhancement plan as may be required to
improve the buffer function and value; or
2. If there is no significant vegetation in the buffer, a buffer may be reduced only if an
enhancement plan is provided. The plan must include using a variety of native
vegetation that improves the functional attributes of the buffer and provides additional
protection for the wetland or watercourse functions and values.
