The Tukwila Pond Committee proposes to develop 3 z acres along the west edge of the site into a passive park this summer, see Attachment A w 2 for a site plan. Features of the Park include walkways, picnic areas, benches and v restrooms. 0 0 Z 'CAC CO ILI BACKGROUND w Due to the small size of the developed Park area, the number of visitors expected to arrive W O on foot and the number of adjacent paved parking areas the Parks and Recreation g n Department has approached neighboring businesses about allowing shared use of their u. a: existing parking spaces rather than creating any new spaces on the Park site. See the D. w application packet for a map showing the areas of potential shared parking. The z = Department is seeking Planning Commission approval of this approach as well as a 1.O determination of the number of required parking spaces. w w U0 O— Tukwila Zoning Code, Figure 18 -7 Minimum Number of Off -Street Parking Spaces, w w' states that parking requirements for outdoor sports areas or parks shall be determined by 1- v' the Planning Commission. The Parks Department has done some research on similar "—' O. passive parks and concluded that 3 parking spaces per acre of park would be a reasonable C1.1 (0 U standard. The Tukwila Pond Park is 3 acres in size so 9 spaces would be a minimum. F- I; The Department is proposing to provide 12 spaces (including 2 ADA accessible spaces) z and a small bus parking space. DECISION CRITERIA CONCLUSIONS The proposed method of using existing parking spaces to meet the additional parking demand created by the Tukwila Pond Park has the advantages of maximizing the recreational space of the Park, minimizing construction costs and avoiding the creation of additional impervious surface near the Pond. Peak usage of the Park is expected to be during the daytime in the summer months, while retail parking usage peaks during the Christmas season, so the parking needs are complimentary. Therefore, meeting the Park's parking requirements through shared parking spaces is a reasonable approach. The information provided in the Parks proposal indicates that 12 car spaces and one bus space should be adequate to meet the parking demand given the size and nature of the Tukwila Pond Park. The spaces will be provided within two or more of the shaded "Potential Shared Parking Locations" shown on the map in Attachment A. All of the potential parking areas are within convenient walking distance of the Park. Page 2 Staff Report to the L97 -0020 Planning Commission Tukwila Pond Parking Determination RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Parks and Recreation Department proposal for Tukwila Pond Park parking to be met by 12 car parking spaces and one small bus space to be shared with surrounding businesses through joint use agreements.

My department is moving forward with construction plans for our Tukwila Pond Park located in the T.U.C. It is our proposal to have 12 shared parking stalls (10 regular and 2 for handicapped persons) and one mini or large bus parking stall. Background The design development phase and construction funding for this park is unlike any we've developed in Tukwila before. A non - profit citizen /business person corporation worked with a consultant, City Council, Mayor and staff to develop the accepted design of the park. The City Council and Mayor then authorized the Tukwila Pond Committee (the non - profit group) to build the park per the agreed -upon plan. Because of the ability of people to walk to the site, the sensitivity of this large wetland area, and the abundance of paved accessible parking stalls abutting this site, it was decided that none of the 3 acre park would be used for parking vehicles. Instead we would seek to share parking stalls with the adjoining businesses. it is my department's responsibility to develop the agreement form and to secure shared parking stalls from neighboring businesses. Current Action We have reviewed similar parks, like Seattle's Freeway Park and Bellevue's Downtown Park, and determined their use is very seasonal and most park visitors are "walkers." Seattle's park has no parking. Bellevue's park has 36 stalls; however, the park is 12 acres in size. With the adjacent hotels and retail stores, it is my professional feeling that a limited number of stalls is necessary. Of the 12 recommended, two would be for handicapped parking which is a higher percentage than normal; however, we feel this would be appropriate for this passive ADA accessible park. The mini /regular size single bus parking stall is desirable because the park will eventually have interpretation and educational exhibits about the wetland's wildlife and habitat areas. Although Phone: (206) 433 -1800 • City Hall Fax: (206) 433 -1833 Mr. Steve Lancaster April 10, 1997 Page 2 at the time this letter is being sent we have not yet secured the parking stalls, it is our intention to secure these stalls as soon as possible. We have verbal support and agreement from the two businesses to the south to provide stalls, the Bon Marche' Distribution Warehouse and the office park east of the Bon that fronts the park. The Doubletree Suites hotel is positively considering a location for a bus parking area. The Parkway Plaza shopping area on Southcenter Parkway will soon be approached. The Target Store has asked that we obtain approval from their corporate offices back east. We are confident that we can secure the desired stalls and that they will be sufficient in number and location. A site plan is attached that shows the proposed parking stall locations. Conclusion. The joint usage agreement (copy attached) provides for permanent usage maintenance and liability coverage. All stalls exist except for minor modifications necessary to establish the handicap stalls and the bus parking stalls. No new pavement will need to be created. We feel this is an appropriate use of existing parking and a positive opportunity for our business community to serve the variety of Tukwila Pond Park visitors. 1 hope our request will be met with favor, and we are prepared to answer any questions the Department of Community Development staff may have. I plan to attend the Planning Commission's review of this proposal.
