Union Tank. The owner of the property occupied by Union Tank, which is a nonconforming use,
wishes to lease the Union Tank facility to Bird - Johnson, a company involved in the fabrication of
boat propellers (also a nonconforming use). The City Attorney has confirmed our conclusion that the
proposal constitutes a change in use. Under the nonconforming uses chapter of the Zoning Code, a
proposal to change from one nonconforming use to another must be reviewed by the Board of
Adjustment. Mr. O'Connel has submitted an application for BOA review, but his application did not
include the information staff requested. Instead, the application was accompanied by a letter from his
attorney stating his opinion the proposal does not constitute a change in use, and therefor need not go
to the Board. The City Attorney responded by reaffirming that information available to the City
indicates the proposal does constitute a change of use, but offered the applicant an opportunity to
submit information demonstrating otherwise. The City Attorney's letter also indicated that the matter
would not be scheduled for hearing until the dispute over what constitutes a change in use, is
resolved.
After receiving the City Attorney's letter, the applicant requested that we schedule his change of use
request before the Board as soon as possible. We have therefor scheduled the matter to be heard at a
special meeting on March 18. The applicant has agreed to provide the information we requested no
later than March 3. Notice of the hearing has been submitted for publication. However, we have
been able to confirm the availability of only two Board members for the 18th. The third member is
necessary for a quorum. We will continue trying to contact her to ensure the meeting can be held.
Klinker Lot Line Adjustment. Mr. Klinker has been informed of information needed to complete his
application for lot line adjustment. Assuming this additional information confirms that there are no
wetlands on site, SEPA review will not be required. The only other information requested is needed
to confirm that the existing parcels constitute legal lots of record. Ross Earnst is reviewing the
applicability of the sidewalk ordinance to this situation. We also need to determine the appropriate
timing for implementing any sidewalk requirements, as well as storm drainage needs.
OTHER
The Community Affairs and Parks Committee forwarded a proposed amendment to the sign code to
the COW. The proposed amendment will close the loophole within the code that allows
nonconforming signs to be re -faced or otherwise substantially changed, without being brought into
conformance with the code.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
January 27 - January 31, 1997
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
Econolodge/Ramada. Jerry LaPlant, a resident of the vicinity of the proposed new hotel, has indicated
he intends to appeal the recent BAR approval. As of Friday mid- afternoon no appeal had been filed.
The deadline for filing an appeal is Monday, February 3.
OTHER
Subdivision Code Update. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on a proposed update to
the subdivision code on Thursday, January 23. In addition to supportive public testimony, Bill
Arthur expressed some concern about what he has referred to as "technical" issues. The Commission
approved the proposed code revisions. Mr. Arthur subsequently requested an opportunity to have one
of his associates meet with staff on the draft code to explain the technical issues of concern. John
Jimerson met this week with Lori Pinnard of Segale Business Park to discuss these concerns. The
results of this meeting are summarized by the attached memo.
Parking Code Update. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on a proposed update to the
parking code on Thursday, January 23. The Commission took testimony and decided to hold a work
session on February 6 to further explore several issues. Jack Pace and Michael Jenkins met with Bill
Arthur this week to discuss his concerns with the draft ordinance. Mr. Arthur intends to attend the
February 6 work session.
Sign Code Amendment regarding Re- Facing Nonconforming Signs. Under current codes, a
nonconforming sign can be re -faced if the work does not involve modifications to the structure or the
electrical system. The City Council wants to "close this loophole" while it continues its consideration
of the overall sign amortization issue. A draft ordinance was reviewed by the Community Affairs and
Parks Committee at its January 28 meeting. The Committee suggested some additional language
further tightening the exemption for "change of copy." A revised draft ordinance will be resubmitted
to the Committee for discussion at its February 11 meeting.
Height Limitations in the HI Heavy Industrial District. The Community Affairs and Parks_ Committee
agreed that it was not Council's intent in adopting the 1995 Zoning Code, to reduce the effective
height regulation affecting the HI Heavy Industrial District. The Committee supports an amendment
to make the height restriction the same as the surrounding TUC and TVS districts. In consultation
with the City Attorney, we have determined this amendment will have to be reviewed by the Planning
Commission prior to Council action. We will place this on the Planning Commission agenda for is
regular February meeting.
Highway 99. • The Highway 99 Action Committee has requested that a presentation on streetscape
plans be made at its February 11 meeting. I will coordinate this with Ross Earnst.

SUBJECT: Sign Amortization
DATE: January 10, 1997
INTER - OFFICE MEMO
The City Council has scheduled a Committee of the Whole workshop on sign amortization for
Tuesday, January 14. It is hoped this workshop will provide additional background on the issue,
to assist council members in their future deliberations.
Since this matter has been under discussion for some time, it may be useful to take a "step back"
and consider the basic objectives Council would like to achieve related to signage. What is the
community's vision for its commercial areas? How does the way in.which the City regulates
signage move us toward or away from that vision?
WHY SIGN AMORTIZATION?
Just over a year ago, the City Council put the finishing touches.on a new Comprehensive Land
Use Plan. This Plan was developed with the assistance and support of a broad cross - section of
community members and leaders. It is worth noting that the first element of the Plan deals with
Community Image. The opening paragraph of the Community Image element states that, "[t]he
citizens of Tukwila in numerous public meetings have expressed a strong interest in
strengthening this [community] image, and both Vision Tukwila and Tukwila Tomorrow have
concerned themselves with community character and identity" (page 13). Accordingly, among
the goals included in the Community Image element is:
Goal 1.8 A more attractive form of commercial development along major streets in the
community, in which buildings and plantings are prominent and oriented to pedestrians,
transit and automobiles.

Among the policies related to this goal is:
Policy 1.8.4 Promote a gradual reduction in the number and size of commercial signs
through the adoption of an amortization period for nonconforming signs.
Much of the discussion of sign amortization has focused on the Highway 99 corridor, since that
area will by the most significantly affected by nearly anything the City may do regarding signs.
In describing the Pacific Highway Corridor, the Comprehensive Plan states:
With redevelopment, the 99 corridor could evolve into a true local center for the residents
flanking it. This would necessitate a fundamentally different attitude toward public and
private development than has been seen in the past (page 90).
Implementing this "fundamentally different attitude" will not be easy or without controversy.
Goals and policies for transportation corridors in general, and the Pacific Highway corridor in
particular, call for more landscaping, higher quality development design, undergrounding of
utilities, limitations on outdoor storage and screening, and specifically for the amortization of
nonconforming signs (pages 91 -96).
In summary, the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan proposes sign amortization in the context of an
overall community vision of commercial areas that are "attractive, safe and profitable places to
live, do business, shop and work" (Goal 8.2).
STATUS OF SIGN AMORTIZATION PROPOSAL
Based on the vision established by the Comprehensive Plan, and the specific direction provided
by policies 1.8.4 and 8.1.14, staff worked with the Planning Commission to draft an amortization
ordinance. Following its review and a public hearing, the Planning Commission recommended
an amortization ordinance that required all nonconforming business signs to conform with the
existing Tukwila Sign Code within three years. The City Council held a public hearing on this
proposal on October 6, 1996. Since the hearing, Council has discussed several possible
modifications to the Planning Commission recommendation, described below.
OPTIONS FOR COUNCIL ACTION
1. Extend the Amortization Period
The simplest way of lessening the impact of compliance with the sign code on business owners is
to extend the amortization time period from the proposed three years. This extension would
allow businesses with non - conforming signs a longer time to benefit from their investment in
signage but would also keep new businesses at a disadvantage for a longer period of time.
Installation of new signs by new or existing businesses would still trigger immediate compliance.
A seven year amortization period would require compliance at roughly the same time as
SeaTac's ordinance and near completion of the planned roadway improvements to Highway 99.
2. Exempt Minor Non - conformities
Another option would be to establish a threshold, perhaps 10 %, under which compliance in size
or setback distance would not be required. This would give a little leeway to those businesses
with signs that are just over the allowed sign area or under the required setback. This would still
require most businesses to come down to two signs, with no more than one wall sign per building
face and one freestanding sign per lot.
3. Create a Hardship Extension
A clause could be added to allow a business owner who can demonstrate that a sign would not be
fully depreciated for tax purposes by the end of the amortization period to be eligible for an
extension. The length of the extension would be the end of the year in which the sign was fully
depreciated and would be determined on a case -by -case basis. Because no legal non - conforming
sign would be less than nine years old under the proposed three year amortization period it is
likely that the majority of signs that would qualify for this exemption would be ones that took
advantage of the change of copy provision to install a new sign face on an existing structure.
4. Waive Sign Permit Fees
Sign permit fees could be waived for the first several years of the amortization period in order to
encourage early compliance. This would offset only a minor portion of the compliance cost for
most businesses.
5. Create Different Sign Regulations for Different Areas
While this is a possibility, there would be numerous problems associated with having different
sign regulations apply to different commercial areas. Differences would have to be relatively
minor and clearly based upon concrete, unique circumstances in the differing areas, to avoid
charges of unfairness from those subject to the "stricter" standards. From a practical standpoint,
it is difficult to envision a sign code that would be acceptable to the community, that would not
still result in significant levels of nonconformity, particularly along Pacific Highway.
RECOMMENDATION
Signs are a significant part of the streetscape in the Pacific Highway and other commercial areas.
The community is actively pursuing the vision for these areas established by the Comprehensive
Plan, particularly in the Pacific Highway corridor, through aggressive crime fighting efforts,
economic development programs and planning for significant public improvements. Along with
these efforts, resolving the issue of nonconforming signs and their impact on the community's
image and business climate is important to achieving this vision.
Staff recommends that the Council move forward with an amortization program. We would
support modification of the Planning Commission's recommendations in the areas of 1)
lengthening the amortization period, 2) exempting minor nonconformities, 3) creating a
"hardship" extension in limited circumstances, and 4) waiving permit fees.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
November 25 - December 6, 1996
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
Korean Christian Family Center. A pre - application meeting was held on a proposal to convert an
existing office building into a combination seminar /retreat center and residential shelter for victims of
domestic abuse. The property is located at 2901 South 128th (north of Highline Community
Hospital), and is zoned O- Office District. We will be requesting additional information from the
prospective applicants due to uncertainty regarding how this project may or may not meet the land
use requirements of the 0 District. If it is able to meet the requirements of the Zoning Code, there
will likely be numerous challenges in meeting building and fue code requirements.
OTHER
Permit Center Improvements. Implementation of HB 1724 requirements continue to be a challenge.
We have had some recent successes in reducing turnaround time for certain types of permits. Shortly
after implementing our new procedures, it became apparent that turnaround for some routine tenant
improvements had increased to an unacceptable level. This was having an impact on several Boeing
projects, and caused concern due to an anticipated increase in the volume of permits as Boeing
operations change. The Building Division and Permits staff were able to come up with acceptable
revised procedures that have returned our turnaround for these types of permits to pre-1724 levels of
service.
Regional Transit System Plan. DCD and Public Works staff met to discuss alternative approaches to
supporting the City's position on light rail routing and related concerns. Many regional
transportation decisions affecting Tukwila will be made over the next two years, including:
• alternative light rail routes (Pac Highway vs. Interurban)
• light rail station locations and functions
• transit (bus) hub location and functions
• commuter rail station location and functions
• in -line transit stops on I -405
• RTA maintenance facility
Decisions regarding each issue will have implications for the others, requiring a comprehensive and
integrated approach to analyzing alternatives and pursuing the preferred outcomes.
DCD and Public Works staff met with RTA staff on December 4 to discuss RTA plans and
timetables. RTA staff was unable to provide detailed information.
Sign Amortization. The City Council discussed the proposed sign amortization ordinance at its
November 25 COW meeting, and referred the matter back to the Community Affairs and Parks
DCD Executive Summary 12/06/96

Committee. Council expressed interest in exploring the following ideas: identifying and protecting
landmark signs; extending the proposed amortization period, perhaps to track with anticipated
completion of Pacific Highway improvements; providing incentives for early compliance, or simply
waiving fees altogether; and developing alternative sign standards tailored specifically for Pacific
Highway.
At its December 3 meeting, the CAP asked that a special COW meeting be held in January to review
in detail the information contained in the 1994 sign inventory, and to discuss any additional
information needs. Sign amortization is also expected to be a topic at the Council's retreat later in
January.

DEVELOPMENT
Present: Joan Hernandez, Steve Mullet, Pam Carter
Don Williams, Steve Lancaster, Dave Johnson, Lucy Lauterbach
Agenda items:
1. Tukwila Community Center Rental Policies The committee had several questions
and comments about the draft rental policy for the new center. Steve first asked about
requiring the damage deposit up front, which could be a year before the event. It was
agreed to move it to 30 days before the event. Steve also thought the center should be
open most holidays, since many people would want to use it then. Don agreed the city
could compromise and name the holidays it was closed, while keeping it open on minor
holidays. There could be extra fees on holidays to pay the higher costs for staff.
The committee suggested language changes for the section on operating hours and rental
fees. Pam raised the issue of local non - profit organizations holding fund raisers like a
spaghetti feed, where they charge for a dinner. Staff will look at that. Joan suggested
language on liquor control, adding that the applicants need to be responsible for the
conduct of their guests. As far as regulating what can be thrown at weddings (i.e. birdseed
8c rice) Steve didn't like the restrictions, and Joan liked restrictions but wanted them to be
flexible. Finally, questions arose about the kitchen rental, and how it worked when only
the kitchen was used, or when it was used only a little bit (say for coffee and tea making),
or a lot by people renting other rooms. Refer policy back to staff for reworking.
2 :Sign Code Study Steve said that the city can go in several directions with the new
draft code. He thought the city should look at the comp plan for direction on Pac
•Highway signs, and he read several sections that referred to that. He said the city will
need to think in terms of what's attractive, yet effective for the businesses. Steve M said
that attractive means different things to different people. Pam said it's not clear what
impact a new sign code would have on businesses and on the way the highway looks.
Steve L said with an inventory the city could get a 80% of the illegal signs, and what it
might take to bring the signs into conformance. He noted there are practical problems
with having different standards for Pac Highway and the rest of the city: namely others
who want to use those easier standards, saying "why not me, too ? ". He said, though, it is
certainly possible to have different standards. He also though there needs to be an escape
mechanism for people who've made big investments and need to recoup their costs for
expensive new signs.
Steve M said he wanted a new inventory. He didn't want to cripple business by not letting
them advertise, and didn't want to change the code just for the sake of change. Steve
thought people needed to be able to see the advantage of changing the look of the
highway. Pam added that it's sometimes harder to see 10 signs crowded together, than

inventory that they could tell 'owners how to solve their problems. For example, staff
could tell an owner if he had to move his or her sign 10 feet and lower it 5 feet, or
whatever. The committee agreed a special COW could be held in January to see the
information staff currently has on illegal signs; look at 'specific properties, and decide
what should be done next. Refer sign code issues to special COW in January.
3. Bruce Dees Shoreline Contract Steve L presenteda contract with Bruce Dees for a
shoreline study. The committee had several comments on the scope of work. One of these
was to have'a'joint Planning Commission/Council review session of the preliminary
guidelines. The committee also wanted this contractor to work with the city's consultant
for city -wide design standards. Recommend contract'to Council for acceptance.

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
We found out from our neighbor on Friday that the City of Tukwila or the Tukwila
City Council is planning a hearing on revisions to the sign ordinance which will
affect businesses in Tukwila. With the immense negative impact that this
proposed ordinance would have on our business should it pass, we are quite
disturbed that we were not notified at all. We have talked with several of our
neighbors who were also unaware of your agenda for this evening's meeting.
Because of this lack of notice, we will not be afforded the opportunity to have a
representative present at your meeting and therefore would like to formally
request that this issue be rejected or tabled until proper notification has been
made.
Bartell Drugs has operated a drug store in Tukwila since November of 1993. In
accessing the viability of building a store in Tukwila, several factors were taken
into account. Of primary concern for any store is accessibility and visibility.
During negotiations, our landlord asked us to take the inner position in the
shopping center. We justifiably felt that we would have too little visibility to
Pacific Highway South traffic to advertise our whereabouts and therefore would
be unable to create a significant draw to our store. The landlord agreed with us
and granted us the use of the center's only pylon sign at significant cost to us.
We received a permit to install new sign faces in the existing pylon sign, which
we did. The new ordinance would make our pylon sign non - conforming and
would have to be scrapped. if this occurs, we might as well pack our bags and
leave your city which previously welcomed us.

Page Two
We have been told that there is a revitalization effort afloat to bring new retailers
and the like to the Pacific Highway South corridor in Tukwila. This area is not
very attractive as it sits now and any improvement would be welcomed, however
telling people to chop down signs will only serve to harm businesses which have
been a source of revenue for the city. These businesses have large amounts of
capital invested in their signage which together probably amounts to millions of
dollars. Given the nature of this street, proper signage is an absolute necessity.
We feel that this effort is ill- advised and harmful to the City's well being.

THE BARTELL DRUG COMPANY

SUBJECT: Proposed sign amortization ordinance
DATE: November 19, 1996
Attached is the proposed sign amortization ordinance recommended to the City Council by the
Planning Commission. The City Council held a public hearing on this proposed ordinance and
on a sign code "housekeeping" ordinance on 'September 7. Following the hearing, Council •
adopted the "housekeeping" ordinance but deferred action on the amortization ordinance, to
allow additional discussion and consideration.
Staff will be prepared to assist the Council in its further consideration of sign amortization at its
November 25 COW meeting. At your request, we will be prepared to discuss some options for
modifying the impact of sign amortization on businesses. Options we have explored and can
discuss with the Council include:
• Exempting minor nonconformities (e.g., signs that are 10% too large, 10% too tall, etc.).
• Extending the amortization period one or two years.
• - Providing incentives for early compliance (e.g. fee waivers).
• Creating a very limited hardship extension.

Re: Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 19.29
Dear Mr. Lancaster:
PORT TOWNSEND, WASHINGTON 98368
PAX (360) 379 -9378
(360) 379-9377
This office represents the Riverside Inn, located at 14060 Interurban Avenue South in
Tukwila. The Riverside Inn has been in business in Tukwila for over 30 years. The sign in front of
its property was erected in 1968, when its owner constructed an addition to the building. My client
does not have a permit for this sign because it was constructed when the property was located in
unincorporated King County. Therefore, permits for the sign were not required.
It has come to my client's attention that the City of Tukwila is in the process of passing an
ordinance which would require removal of all non - conforming, on- premise signs within the city of
Tukwila by January 1, 2000. This ordinance would apparently apply to my client's sign. It is my
client's position that, since its sign was erected prior to 1971, the City of Tukwila may only require
its removal if it pays just compensation therefor.
In 1971, the State of Washington enacted the Sce,cic Vistas .Act. RCW 47.42.010 et seq.
(1996). This Act regulates signs "adjacent to state highways of this state ... to promote the public
health, safety, welfare, convenience and enjoyment of public travel ... RCW 47.42.010 (1996).
The statute also requires that compensation be paid for removal of signs which are "visible from the
main travelled way of the interstate system or the primary system ". RCW 47.42.102(1) (1996).
However, in 1977, a more sweeping provision was enacted, which appears to govern all signs
required to be removed pursuant to a county, city, or town ordinance. RCW 47.42.107 reads as
follows:

(1) Just compensation shall be paid upon the removal of any existing sign pursuant
to the provisions of any resolution or ordinance of any county, city. or town of the
state of Washington by such county, city or town if:
(a) Such sign was lawfully in existence on May 10, 1971 (the
effective date of the Scenic Vistas Act of 1971).
RCW 47.42.107(1)(a) (1996) (Emphasis Ours); see also Ackerley Communications v. Seattle, 92
Wn.2d 905 (1979).
Since the Riverside Inn's sign was erected prior to May 10, 1971, it believes that if it is
required to remove its sign, the city should pay just compensation in return. Of course, the Riverside
Inn would prefer to leave the sign "as is ", because the cost of removal and replacement could be in
excess of $30,000 and would be very time - consuming.
Furthermore, even assuming the Ordinance does allow removal of the Riverside Inn's sign
without compensation, a three -year "amortization" period appears unreasonable in light of the fact
that the sign has been in existence for almost 30 years.
The Riverside Inn would like to come to an agreeable solution to this issue as soon as
possible. Thank you very much for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing
from you soon.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Ord. #1773 - amending Sign
Code to Include Amortization
Schedule for Non - Conforming
Signs & Changes to Planned
Shopping Center and Office
Sections
Public Comment
Mayor Rants declared the hearing open at 7:07 p.m. Steve
Lancaster, DCD Director, explained that the purpose of the hearing
is to take public input on proposed changes to the sign code. There
are two types of changes reflected in the proposed ordinances
contained in the agenda packet. The first set of changes,
housekeeping in nature, are minor changes made to improve
flexibility of the signage on office buildings and planned mall
shopping centers. It is a clearer reflection of some of the changes
that have taken place in the way the City looks at land use under
the Zoning Code and the mixture of uses allowed in certain areas.
The second ordinance is a proposal to establish a program that
would require that all existing non - conforming business signs
(grandfathered signs) be brought into conformance within the
Tukwila Sign Code by a specific date. The proposed date is three
years after the adoption of whatever ordinance the Council would
chose to adopt. Lancaster clarified that the current ordinance
allows signs that were legally erected but don't comply with
current rules and regulations to remain in use indefinitely. These
signs are found primarily in the annexation areas and enjoy
grandfather or non - conforming use rights. They may remain under
those grandfather rights until there is a substantial change in the
use of the property or the buildings or the signs. Under the
proposed sign ordinance amendments these signs that were legally
erected but don't comply with the current regulations would have
to be brought into compliance by the year 2000. At the end of the
three year period, the grandfather rights would basically go away.
This is one of the strategies Council has been looking at in its
overall strategy of dealing with the issue of Highway 99 as well as
other areas in the community. With regard to Highway 99, these
regulations may be viewed as a strategy to improve the overall
visual character and business climate in that area. The ordinance
would apply equally throughout the entire community.
Approximately 200 notices describing the proposed amortization
program were sent to businesses in the areas most likely to be
affected (Highway 99, East Marginal Way, Military Road).
Rick Davis, 14101 Pacific Highway So. (21 Club), commented that
his business sits far back from the highway and is not readily seen
from either direction due to neighboring businesses on either side
that sit closer to the highway. The sign was placed on the highway
in order to draw attention to his establishment. Davis said he fears
his business would suffer without the highway sign. •

Public Hearings (con't)
Dwight McLean, 13015 - 38th Ave. S., said that if business owners
could be persuaded to take down their signs, it would improve the
quality and image of Highway 99. McLean presented a brief home
video which showed sign codes in another community versus
Tukwila's sign codes. The film showed the contrast between
Highway 99 with its various signs and many billboards and the
City of Burlington with its low profile signs and no billboards.
McLean said he thought a three year amortization was too short.
He suggested a 7 -10 year time span and some type of incentive
given for early compliance such as granting a business license or
waiving storm water /sewer assessments. McLean commented that
if the goal of the City is to beautify the highway, the sign code
provisions should include both business signs and billboards.
Doug Sternberg, 14818 Pacific Highway So: (Douglas Printing),
said his business also sits back from the road. He, too, relies upon
a billboard sign to be seen among the competing signs. Most of his
signs will be affected by the new codes and he expects it will be
very expensive for him to bring his business into compliance with
the new regulations. Sternberg has operated his business for 20
years and asked that business owners be considered as Council
looks at the new provisions.
Tim O'Brien, 14639 Pacific Highway So. (Appliance Distributors),
stated that 95 percent of the signs on Highway 99 are non-
conforming. The cost he will incur to convert his signs, which are
all non - conforming, is approximately $35,000. O'Brian asked that
Council be aware they are affecting a great number of people.
Mike Salle, 130th and Pacific Highway So. (Bernie and Boys),
reminded Council that during the annexation process a few years
ago, business owners were assured that conforming signs and
buildings under King County codes and regulations would
continue to be conforming under Tukwila's jurisdiction. Salle said
felt it unfair that business owners would have to incur extra
expenses in order to bring their existing signs up to code.
John Welch, 11405 SE 196th, Renton, is involved with the City
through the Tukwila Tomorrow Committee, Highway 99 Action
Committee, and the Chamber of Commerce. Welch noted the

Tukwila City Council - Regular Meeting

Public Hearings (con't)
Hearing Closed
Council Discussion
other words, we're in this together. Welch said he feared the short
duration in abating the non - conforming signs will work a hardship
on many businesses and will hurt the relationship of the businesses
on Highway 99. Business owners on the highway are pulling
together to try to resolve the issues. Welch asked that Council
reconsider the amortization schedule and focus on a 5, 7, or 9 year
schedule. In its present form, the three year schedule will create
hardships for business owners.
Mayor Rants declared the hearing closed at 7:28 p.m.
Councilmember Ekberg asked what other cities had done regarding
the timeline issues. Lancaster responded that other cities typically
give 7 -9 year time periods. More frequently, when a city decides
to go through an amortization program it is usually when the city
adopts a new sign. If Tukwila were adopting a new sign code it
would be putting in new restrictions or changes to businesses who
had possibly put up a new sign during the last year or two. In such
cases a longer period of time is usually needed for people to
recover their investment in those signs.
Another three years would add some additional period to amortize
the investment on those signs. Council President Carter asked
what the staff had recommended to the Planning Commission.
Lancaster responded that staff gave the commission a range of
3/5/7 years to consider. Councilmember Duffie remarked that the
same problem with signs existed when the Interurban area was
annexed several years ago. Responding to Ekberg's question
regarding billboards, Lancaster explained that the issues involved
with billboards are different that those involved with on -site
business signage. Billboard issues will be considered at a later
date.
It was the consensus of the Council to forward the amortization
ordinance to a future Committee of the Whole meeting for further
discussion.
MOVED BY MULLET, SECONDED BY LINDER, THAT THE
PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY.

September 12, .1996
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Rants
FROM: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director
RE: Proposed Sign Code Amendments
Background
Areas which developed under King County's regulations and then were annexed into
Tukwila often have signs which are larger and greater in number than would be allowed
under Tukwila's regulations. The removal of these non-conforming signs is important to
fostering redevelopment of areas such as Highway 99 because oversized signs, especially
those placed on tall poles close to the roadway, create a cluttered and confusing visual
environment. Tukwila's Sign Code restricts the number of signs allowed per business
and requires that freestanding signs be set back from property lines in order to create a
more ordered visual environment.
Currently Tukwila treats signs which.were installed under King County's sign code as
legally non - conforming and allows them to remain in place until there is a change of use
of the site or a change of business which requires new signage. While this creates the
least amount of hardship for existing businesses, it also means that change is very slow
and new businesses may be put at a disadvantage due to their less conspicuous signage.
One approach to removing non - conforming signs which has been used in many other
cities is called amortization. Generally this means that businesses are given a certain
period of years in which to bring their signs into conformance with current codes. The
years of use are assumed to give the businesses a fair period of time in which to recoup
their investment in any signs that would have to be removed or changed. The draft .
amortization ordinance would set a deadline of January 1, 2000 for non - conforming signs
to be removed.
The other Code changes proposed are intended to clarify without changing the
regulations that apply to shopping malls and change the regulations that apply to office
buildings to reflect the mixed use nature of our current zoning and the office /retail
market. • .

Planning Commission Recommendation • za
rew
Staff discussed the proposed Sign Code changes with the Planning Commission at a g D
work session on"July 25, 1996. The Commission held a public hearing on August 29, o o
1996 at which the Commission pointed out that there was an inconsistency in the text of ; co w;
the code changes which has since been corrected. The Commission thought that the _1 1...:
definition of landmark was too vague, and that it would be a loophole which would allow N p`
the preservation of an unknown number of undistinguished signs. The Commission then 2
unanimously acted on the proposed Sign Code amendments as follows: g 1,
• The "change of copy" loophole would be eliminated so that a non - conforming sign = a
cannot have a new face installed without coming into compliance with the code. ~ i
zF..
• A permit expiration date of 180 days would be set to ensure that all sign permits are w O
properly inspected and signed off. 2 w
D C3
• An amortization period of three years would be set, at the end of which all businesses oo cn;
with non - conforming signs must come into compliance with the code. ;o t
=w;
• The Planning Commission voted to strike section 19.29.030 and the definition of F-, v
Landmark Sign which would have created an exemption for landmark signs from the LL' O`
amortization removal requirements. . , v tii z:
• Tenants in traditional office buildings would be allowed exterior wall signs, with o
businesses sharing a total wall sign area equal to that allowed in other commercial Z
zones. Mixed use buildings with no common entrance would be allowed signage
under the same regulations as other commercial buildings.
• Businesses in a planned shopping center seeking new signs would be required to
document the amount of the total wall sign budget that they are proposing to use and
that this much area is available, given the existing signs on the wall.
Council Action
The Community Affairs and Parks Committee will discuss these amendments on
September 17, the Committee of the Whole will discuss them on September 23, and a
public hearing will be held on October 7.

Staff Report to the Planning Commission/BAR
BINDINGS
BACKGROUND
L96 -0052
Page 2
Staff presented an issue paper on non - conforming signs to the Planning Commission at a
work session on July 25, 1996. The policy direction given by the Commission was as
follows:
• The ordinance should apply to all non - conforming signs, including billboards;
• The amortization period should be three years from the effective date of the
ordinance;
• All businesses should be required to come into compliance with the sign code at the
same time with no hardship extension provision; and
• A definition of landmark signs should be developed and businesses which have signs
that meet the criteria could apply to keep them indefinitely.
Staff discussed the issues involved in drafting an amortization ordinance that applied to
off - premise signs with the City Attorney and his advice was to handle them separately
from on- premise signs. The legal issues involved in regulation of off - premise signs are
quite different from on- premise signage and a challenge to the off - premise portion of an
amortization ordinance could prevent us from enforcing amortization of on- premise
signage. Given that advice and the fact that all of Tukwila's billboards are non-
conforming, Staff has drafted suggested code changes which would only implement an
amortization period for on- premise signs.
In addition to the changes necessary to implement an amortization ordinance Staff is also
recommending changes to the planned shopping center (mall) and office sections of the
sign code. The need for clarification of these sections was raised by some recent sign
permit applications. The changes to the planned shopping center (mall) section will
clarify the intent of the regulations without substantively changing them. The changes to
the office building section will replace unworkable regulations with new regulations
patterned on the mall regulations. This is suggested because unlike individual
commercial tenants which generally have exterior wall space on which to place signage,
malls and office buildings often have an internal orientation and tenants may be located'in
spaces which do not allow them reasonable access to signage. It is not expected that any
non - conformities would be created by these changes.
DRAFT CODE LANGUAGE
Staff's explanation of the need for the change is given in italics after each section.

New Definitions:
L96 -0052
Page 3
Illegal sign: "Illegal sign" means a sign which does not meet Tukwila's current sign
code standards and does not meet the definition of non - conforming sign.
Non - conforming sign: "Non- conforming sign" means a permanent sign which met all
applicable sign code regulations at the time of installation but does not meet Tukwila's
current sign code standards.
Landmark sign: "Landmark sign" means a sign which relates to the history of Tukwila
or the Green River Valley, is a one of a kind design, at least 15 years old and has
remained essentially unchanged (excluding normal maintenance and repair) for the past
15 years.
These new definitions are necessary to implement the amortization section.
Changes to Sign Code Text:
19.08.160 Planned shopping center (mall):
"Planned shopping center (mall) " means a multiple -tenant retail development as defined
in Section 18.06.730755 of thin the zoning code (Shopping center (mall), planned).
This change will correct the code reference.
Chapter 19.12 PERMITS
19.12.050 Exceptions - Permits not required.
(2) Painting, repainting or cleaning of an advertising structure, or the changing of tho
advertising copy or message thereon shall not be considered an erection or alteration
which requires a sign permit unless a structural or electrical change is made or the area or
the shape of the sign is altered;
This deletion would eliminate the "change of copy" loophole where a new business
replaces the sign face on an existing non - conforming sign rather than coming into
compliance with the sign code.
19.12.140 Permit Expiration
180 days of sign permit issuance the permit will expire.
This would allow the City to ensure that signs are installed in compliance with the permit
drawings and therefore reduce the number of new non - conforming signs..

This is the amortization provision that the Planning Commission directed staff to
develop. It will set a three year time limit for on premise non - conforming signs to come
into compliance with Tukwila's sign code. The amortization ordinance will not apply to
any signs which are made non - conforming by changes to the sign code after adoption
because this would give them less than 3 years to come into compliance.
19.29.030 Landmark Signs
Business or proper owners who have sigijage that meets the definition of landmark
signs may nominate these signs for consideration as Landmark signs-a Type 4 decision.
If the Planning Commission approves the designation the sign may be maintained at its
current size and location until such time as the business it advertises changes,
notwithstanding provisions regarding removal of non - conforming signs. A landmark sign
must relate to the history of Tukwila or the Green River Valley. be a one of a kind design,
at least 15 years old and have remained essentially unchanged (excluding normal
maintenance and repair) for the past 15 years.
This provision will allow unique signs which contribute to Tukwila's sense ofplace to be
retained.
19.29.030 New signs.
No sign permit shall be issued to allow a business additional legal signs if the business is
listed on an illegal or non - conforming sign until such time as the non - conforming or
illegal sign is removed or modified to conform to this code,
This provision will require that businesses bring their non - conforming signs up to code
before installing additional signs.
19.29.040 Maintenance and repair,
This provision will make it clear that non - conforming signs will have to be maintained in
a safe manner throughout the amortization period
Chapter 19.32 REGULATIONS BASED ON LAND USE CATEGORIES
IV - COMMERCIAL ZONES

Retail and office uses are allowed in the same buildings in even the most restrictive office
zone. Strict application of the office signage requirements would mean that an entire
building would have to follow either office or general commercial sign regulations even
though the mix of uses might change over time.
A more straightforward way of handling signage for traditional office buildings with a
common public entrance is to pattern the sign allocation on the mall regulations. This
would allow a total sign area per wall and require tenants to share this sign budget.
Each tenant would be allowed a total of two signs, either two wall signs or one wall sign
and a listing on a freestanding sign, as in the general commercial regulations. Unlike
the general commercial sign regulations though, the sign placement would not be limited
to the wall area fronting the tenant space, because office space often does not have the
same relationship to street frontage as retail space.
An exception is provided to allow office buildings in which each tenant has direct
exterior access to follow the general commercial sign rules. These types of buildings are
most likely to include a mix of retail and office tenants, and basing the signage on each
individual tenant space allows maximum flexibility.
V - PLANNED SHOPPING CENTERS
19.32.150 Ming- identification signs for individual businesses--Displays.
(a) Individual businesses in a planned shopping center (mall) shall be limited to wall
mounted signs. The total allowed cigning signage for any building face shall be equal to
6% of the exposed building face area on which the signs are is to be placed, up to a
maximum of 500 square feet. Each business is permitted with a maximum of four stteh
signs allowed per business and with not more than one sign for any particular business
allowed on any one exposed building face. No one sign shall contain more than 50% of
the allowable sign area. unless approved as a Type 2 decision. Applicants for sign
permits will be required to document the area of the exposed building face on which the
sign is to be placed. total allowed sign area for thaLface. area of any existing signs, and
area of the proposed sign.
(b) Businesses located on the perimeter of a planned shopping center (mall) in detached,
separate buildings shall be allowed freestanding signs per Section 19.32.140 (c).
X9.32.155 Identification signs for the center as a whole.
(b) Identification signs for the center as a whole shall have an aggregate area of not more
than 300 square feet per street which abuts the development, and no one sign shall
contain more than 50% of the allowable sign area, unless approved as a Type 2 decision.
The height of a freestanding sign shall not exceed the highest portion of any building in
the planned shopping center (mall) which is identified thereby. Non - rolling equipment
and merchandise must be displayed from within buildings or glass- fronted cases, except
in connection with a temporary commercial, industrial or public service display.

CONCLUSIONS
L96 -0052
Page 8
The amortization section of the code would require that non - conforming signs come into
conformity with Tukwila's regulations within three years. This will reduce the
prominence of signage along Tukwila's streetscapes. It will also ensure that old
businesses do not have an unfair advantage over new businesses, which have to conform
to current code requirements.
The changes to the office section.of the code better reflect the mixed use nature of many
office buildings and will accommodate market driven shifts in the mix of tenants. No
non - conformities should be created by these changes.
The changes to the planned shopping center (mall) section of the code clarify the intent of
the section without making substantive changes, therefore no non - conformities will be
created.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends approval of these changes to the sign code.
E
BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW/PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES
AUGUST 29,1996
Mr. Marvin called the work session to order at 6:10 p.m. Members present were
Commissioners Marvin, Meryhew, Livermore, Gunnels and Malina. Commissioners
Neiss and Stetson were excused. Representing the staff were Jack Pace, Nora Gierloff,
Michael Jenkins, Diana Painter, Hans Korve and Sylvia Schnug.
Michael Jenkins provided a briefing regarding the Parking Study. The Parking Study
fulfills the requirements of the CTR Ordinance, the Comprehensive Plan and King
County Countywide Planning Policies. The scope of the Study included inventorying
the current parking supply, interviewing businesses regarding their perceptions of
parking at their work sites, speaking with employee transportation coordinators at
those work sites who are affected by CTR, and the recommendations and evaluations of
the City's parking supply regulations and transit service. The two areas for the study
were the MIC and the TUC.
Mr. Malina said he would like to see the overall average parking ratio reduced to 2.5 per
gross 1,000 sq. ft.
Mr. Livermore said he would like a business to have the opportunity to have
administrative review to have lower parking requirements under unique conditions.
The City should have minimum parking requirements, but not maximum parking
requirements.
The Commissioners expressed their appreciation for receiving the additional
information regarding cellular antennas and the cellular technology.
Nora Gierloff provided a briefing regarding the proposed code amendments which
would amortize non - conforming signs, excluding billboards. There are two areas in the
City where billboards are allowed. The legal issues regarding off - premise signs are
such that they will take longer to resolve, and could hold up the rest of the sign code
amendments, so they were not included in these code changes.
The Commission agreed to separate the on- premise signs and the off - premise signs
when amending the Sign Code, and address the off - premise signs at a later date.
Ms. Gierloff then reviewed clarifying the sign regulations for office buildings.
�.. Currently tenants in office buildings are not allowed exterior signage. This does not
work for retail businesses. Given that the City allows mixed uses in all the zones that
!01r4trl'# w
Planning Commission Minutes Page 2
August 29, 1996
allow office and retail, these regulations are difficult to apply. The proposal is to treat
them more like malls, where the amount of signage is based on the entire wall area and
different tenants can negotiate to share that sign square footage.
Mr. Meryhew noted that in some places Type 2 permits were referenced and in other
places Type 2 decisions. The language needs to be consistent. He also reminded staff
that the Commission wanted an inventory of historical signs in the City.
Mr. Marvin closed the work session and called for a ten minute recess. .
Mr. Marvin re- opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m.
With regard to the minutes of June 27, 1996, Mr. Meryhew asked that on page 10, "Vern"
be changed to "Mr. Meryhew". Also, delete the extra word, "continue" in the motion.
MR. MERYHEW MOVED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF JUNE 27,1996 AS
AMENDED. MS. GUNNELS SECONDED THE MOTION AND THE MOTION
WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.
MR. LIVERMORE MOVED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF JULY 25, 1996. MR.
MALINA SECONDED THE MOTION A ;D THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY
APPROVED.
With regard to the minutes of August 8,1996, on page 2, the third paragraph from the
bottom, the second sentence should be changed to read, "David Livermore felt that the
City should have included a minimum overall % coverage requirement within parking
lots. Also the sentence, "John Owen has recommended this distance be 70 feet." is not an
accurate statement and should be looked into.
MR. LIVERMORE MOVED TO APPROVE THE AUGUST 8,1996 MINUTES AS
AMENDED. MR. MERYHEW SECONDED THE MOTION AND THE MOTION
WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.
L96 -0010: Econolodge
Mr. Pace presented the staff report. He handed out two letters from citizens regarding
this project.
Mr. Pace began by reviewing the ten changes that the Board recommended at their last
hearing.
1. The revised plan reflects the Board's desire to have landscaping on the overhang
of parking spaces along one property line.

2. The revised plan shows that the additional parking spaces to be used in the
existing Econolodge lot do meet Code requirements. The entire existing lot does
not have to be upgraded, just the four spaces to be used by the new building.
3. The monument sign has been relocated to meet the clear vision triangle
requirements.
4. To meet the handicapped parking requirements, the City will use the Zoning
Code and the Uniform Building Code, which has even more stringent
requirements. This issue will be looked at at the time of building permit
issuance.
5. The loading zone has been modified, and the sidewalk has been relocated to meet
the Board's requirement.
6. The dumpster area has been relocated, and will be screened with landscaping
and a fence.
7. The easement is not required now, but will be required at the time of issuance of
the building permit, and they will identify the four spaces to be used by the new
hotel.
8. Columns have been relocated so they do not interfere with door openings and
door access.
9. Evergreen trees have been added to the east property line.
10. An upper unit has been removed along the east wall, so the roofline can slope
continuously from the peak to the second floor. Detailing has been added to the
wall to make it more interesting. .
Mr. Mauna asked what size the evergreens would be.
Mr. Pace said eight feet, as required by SEPA.
Mr. Livermore asked if the sidewalks would be tapered down to the driveway level on
both sides.
Mr. Pace said that is typical of access requirements for commercial projects and would
be reviewed by Public Works.
Mr. Livermore asked if the Fire Department would require an outside access to the
sprinkler control room.
Mr. Pace said it depends on the size of the building and the number of units. We don't
typically get into that level of detail during design review. The focus here is design
review, not building permit issuance. We're not saying in this staff report that this
project meets ALL City codes; the question is whether it meets the design review
criteria. It will still need to meet Energy Codes, Fire Codes, and other codes.
Mr. Malina asked if the monument sign would meet setback requirements.
.Ms. Gierloff indicated it does.

Mr. Malina asked if the loading zone would be used for just a loading zone and not
storage.
Mr. Pace said based upon the Board's decision and discussion in the staff report, that is
what staff is saying it should be designed for.
Johnny Cheng, 2112 Third Av, Suite #201, Seattle, WA 98121:
Mr. Cheng indicated that he has tried to work with staff to address all the concerns of
the Board. Several design alternatives were considered and all ten issues /concerns of
the Board were addressed. This is the design review stage, not the Building Code or
Energy Code review. Their drawings still have to be submitted for building permits.
He said he plans to make every effort to make sure the City's minimum standards are
met.
Mr. Livermore said there are two very large rooms in the middle of the first floor,
• towards the back, that are unlabeled and asked what the function of those rooms will
be.
Mr. Cheng said one is an exercise room and the other a multi- purpose room.
Mr. Livermore asked why there are two recycling rooms proposed.
Mr. Cheng said one is not big enough and they wanted one close to the elevator lobby
area.
Mr. Meryhew asked if the hotel wouldn't periodically be replacing furniture due to
wear and tear, and where would the trucks be loading and unloading that furniture.
Mr. Cheng said the mattresses, etc. usually last approximately five years, so it would
only occur once every 5-10 years. Some things would be repaired on -site. They very
rarely use large trucks to bring in supplies.
Mr. Meryhew said beds and other things should have to be replaced periodically.
Mr. Cheng said most hotels store some mattresses on -site for emergency purposf 3.
Nancy Lamb, 4951 S 139 St, Tukwila:
Ms. Lamb passed out a summary of her comments. It's important to her family that the
neighborhood be protected from adverse development proposals. The size of this
proposal in relation to the property was overwhelming to begin with. Similar concerns
have been expressed by the Board and the Board has asked that all zoning and access
w� .
regulations be strictly adhered to. Her memos have taken issue with how the

regulations have been applied, or not applied. So far the three -story building has been
reduced by only one guest room, and yet in some ways the basic over - crowding of the
site has gotten even worse because the impervious surface area has increased.
The Board's decision will convey a very important message to the community and she
urged the Board to continue keeping the goals of the Comprehensive Plan foremost in 1- w
their decision - making process. She added she would be turning in some additional 6
comments and exhibits for the record. Issue #1 has been covered in her 8 -21 -96 memo. _1 o
With regard to Issue #2, she indicated she is providing additional responses in writing ; cow W
to the off -site parking issue. This is in memorandums dated 8- 19 -96, 8- 20 -96, 8- 24-96, j
and 8- 26-96, which will be handed out later. These describe the parking lot in more N �-
detail and tell what King County's parking lot standards were when the motel opened. 2
They describe how the ADA requirements alone which eventually must be met, will ga 5.
reduce the parking lot to 50 stalls and the Board will need to decide whether the co
difference of one stall will come out of the four -stall easement requested, or out of the W.
seven stalls needed to maintain compliance for the Econolodge itself. Staffs comments z
regarding Issue #2 may be based on the assumption that at the time of annexation there z o
may have been 51 stalls on the lot. u
p
Ms. Lamb presented photographs of the Econolodge site today. Some show how the o
easement area relates to the proposed motel in terms of line -of -site compared with the w w
streetscape that guests would need to use in passing between the four off -site stalls and v
the proposed motel. Other photos show how the supposedly accessible stalls now have — o:
no delineated route to the entrance, and others show how the restriping of the site has w co
U
removed what was formerly an access area to a dumpster enclosure. The Board should o
also look at four aerial photos of the site because from what the applicant has submitted, z
there doesn't seem to be proof that there were ever actually 51 stalls complying with
King County's standards, only 47. The plans undoubtedly changed between approval
to construct the building and the time the building opened for business.
The first photo was contained in a 1995 packet related to the emergency moratorium. It
was taken at about the time the facility was opened, and it shows a dumpster enclosure
and a large access area with a "No Parking Sign" at the back of it. The second photo was
taken by Walker and Associates on 10- 13-86, and it clearly shows a configuration of 47
stalls, with 11 parking stalls located in the row along the eastern property line.
The third photo is dated 10- 20 -94, was taken by Walker and Associates and shows 49
stalls. At that time, there were still only eight stalls in the row just west of the building,
but the eastern row had 13, cutting down on some of the dumpster access and
maneuvering room for cars. When did this two-stall increase occur?
The last aerial photo was ordered by Ms. Lamb from Aerolist Photographers to answer
that question. A copy of that photo is included in the packet. This photo shows there is
no stripe dividing the wide area in the southeast corner into two stalls, so only 11 stalls
were in that row at the time of annexation. The use of the lot has been intensified from

47 to 51 parking stalls under Tukwila's jurisdiction, even though the reconfigured
parking areas did not include Tukwila's safer standards. Ms. Lamb's attorney, Rand
Koler, says that the 47 stalls in existence in 1989 were non - conforming to Tukwila's
standards, but they had been legally established under King County standards. When
the use of the lot was increased to 49 stalls, in approximately 1992, that was apparently
an illegal increase because it was not done in conformance to Tukwila's standards. It is
Mr. Koler's contention that at that point, the parking area became illegally used and
with the recent increase to 51 stalls, the degree of illegality was increased. How can
there be an easement for four stalls in an illegally intensified parking lot? Which motel,
the proposed or the existing is going to lose the use of four illegally created spaces?
Issue #3 is fine. With regard to issue #4, the secondary entrance to the proposed
building doe not comply with the WAC. Also, Ms. Lamb received a fax from the
Washington Building Code Council that they have issued the State's opinion that there
should be no ramps at all in an access aisle between cars.
Ms. Lamb indicated her opinion regarding Issue #5 was given on page one of her 8 -21-
96 memo.
With regard to Issue #6, Ms. Lamb's comments on page five or her 8 -21 -96 memo still
apply.
With regard to Issue #7, this off -site parking situation does not uphold the high
standards sought for a redevelopment of the Highway 99 corridor. Furthermore, there
is no basis for concluding that the applicants have any right to avoid the parking
requirements of the Tukwila Code, the ADA and the WAC. King County granted no
waiver to increase the number of installed spaces from 47 to 51 after the motel opened.
With regard to Issue #8, the northern columns still would interfere with car doors.
With regard to Issue #9, the trees may not do the screening job that they need to do.
With regard to Issue #10, the design is inharmonious with its location because of its
bulk, scale and its aesthetics, particularly, of the eastern-most section. This design does
not address the need for high- quality design adjacent to a single - family neighborhood
whose stability is threatened by the very presence of a big motel. She asked that the
Board please continue to send everyone the message that the Comprehensive Plan and
Zoning Regulations will be used effectively so that any development is of high quality.
The community cannot afford less than this in the long run.
Mr. Pace clarified there are two sections of non - conformity under the Zoning Code, Use
and Standards. Parking is not defined as a non - conforming use. The City of Tukwila's
Code has specific provisions regarding non - conforming parking lots. Section 18.70.080
states that if an existing parking lot is expanded less than 100 %, only the new portion
needs to comply with the Code. As noted in the staff report, the four spaces need to

comply with regard to dimensional and access requirements. This is not an issue of
non - conforming use on the existing lot, but non - conforming standards. The way the
Code reads, we cannot make the existing lot comply. Only the additional expansion
needs to comply. With regard to ADA requirements, the City is using the Uniform
Building Code for a new development. The City does not enforce existing or prior
development from the County.
Mr. Livermore asked what the City's stance is on the garbage issue. He added that he
understood from some testimony, that Econolodge no longer has a dumpster and is it
legal to dispose of their garbage on another piece of property?
Mr. Pace said whether they took out the dumpster or not, is not germane to this
application. The key is does the new hotel meet the design guidelines that are currently
enforced?
Mr. Marvin closed the public hearing.
Ms. Gunnels stated she sympathizes with the residents. She added that she does not
like the size of the proposed building, or the process that they have had to go through
over the past few months. However, she said that based on what she has heard from
staff, this complies with everything that has to be met. If they have met the criteria, then
the Board does not have any choice.
Mr. Malina indicated that the applicant has addressed and met the ten concerns the
Board had at their last hearing. At this point, the applicant meets the design review
criteria. The residents will have the opportunity to discuss this further at the City
Council level. He added that he still has concerns with the loading zone area.
Mr. Livermore agreed. He added that he thought the project is too big for the lot.
However, the project meets all the requirements. Judgment can't be based on personal
feelings, it has to be based on the approved documentation that controls land usage in
the City of Tukwila, and they have met that. Some of the residents, if they have any
ideas on how the design requirements should be changed in the future, should show up
at the public hearings where these documents are looked at and open for revision.
Mr. Meryhew noted that the Highway 99 Design Guidelines are in the process of being
revised now and a hearing is coming up.
MR. MAUNA MOVED TO APPROVE L96 -0010 BASED UPON STAFFS
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND THAT THE
PROJECT MEETS THE BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW CRITERIA. MS.
GUNNELS SECONDED THE MOTION AND THE MOTION WAS
UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.

Planning Commission Minutes Page 8
August 29,1.996
L96 -0051: Cottonwood Trees code amendment
Gary Schulz presented the staff report. This amendment is to regulate the removal of
Black Cottonwood Trees. Staff is proposing to regulate Cottonwood Trees with a four
inch or greater diameter. It would make it easier for regulation purposes and for the
applicants. Everything within the shoreline zone is regulated by the Tree Ordinance,
with the exception of Black Cottonwood Trees. The starting point of that regulation is
four inches. This code amendment would apply only to Cottonwoods within 100 feet of
the shoreline. The current Tree Ordinance regulates other trees to the 200 foot point. To
be consistent with that Ordinance and its guidelines, it would be easier to stay with the
four inch diameter.
Mr. Meryhew said he surveyed the area. Between the Kent boundaries, up to Pacific
Highway there are approximately 302 Cottonwood Trees that are 12 inches or greater
within 40 feet of the river. Approximately 40 of these are 40 feet or more away from the
river. Trees smaller than 12 inches within 40 feet of the river, there are only 12 of these
Cottonwood Trees. More than 40 feet away from the river, there are 13 of these trees.
Therefore, only 25 Cottonwood Trees in the area of 4 -12 inches are along approximately
8 miles of river. There's about 340 Cottonwood Trees that are 12 inches and greater,
excluding three groves of Cottonwoods.
Mr. Schulz said staff thought it would be easier on applicants if the Cottonwoods were
included. He added that if you don't make room to save the younger trees within a
certain zone, then you will not have reproduction. Perhaps the older, larger trees could
be pruned and made healthier.
Mr. Meryhew said if the trees are more than 40 feet away from the river, then they don't
serve a purpose. He suggested leaving them as a non - significant tree.
Mr. Livermore agreed. He added that other jurisdictions use 6 to 12 inches that they are
controlling. He asked why staff is suggesting four inches.
Mr. Schulz clarified that four inches is the current regulation. Every other tree that is in
a sensitive area or the shoreline, the regulation is four inches. He continued by saying
that the cottonwood provides alot to the river environment. If it is totally removed,
wildlife, and food for fish would be lost.
L96 -0052: Sign Code amendment
Nora Gierloff presented the staff report. She noted that the amendments do not include
off - premise signs, they do include amendments to the Planned Shopping Center and
Office Building sections. The new definitions are to implement the amortization
grdinnce. All sign permits must have a final inspection. There is also language
implementing an amortization ordinance that would require that all non - conforming

signs be brought into conformance by January 1, 2000. There is an exemption for
subsequent sign code changes. Staff has developed a landmark sign ordinance.
The Commissioners decided to strike the landmark ordinance because it was too vague
and would apply to an unknown number of signs.
L96 -0053: Fermenting and Distilling code amendment
Jack Pace presented the staff report. Prior to the revision of the Zoning Code, distilleries
and breweries were allowed in the heavy and light industrial zones. The light industrial
areas have additional air quality requirements. The only recorded situations where
odors from distilleries have been a problem in other cities is where people live above a
distillery /brewery. Staff feels that distilling and fermenting do not need to be made a
conditional use because light industrial areas have additional air quality standards and
heavy industrial areas are far enough away from residences where there would not be a
problem. Staff is recommending they be permitted outright in the light and heavy
industrial areas.
Mr. Malina expressed a concern about the discharging these types of facilities do.
Mr. Pace said those would be managed by the applicable sewer utility.
Ann Nichols, Segale
Ms. Nichols said Segale owns properties in the Tukwila Valley South area that is
comprised of light and heavy industry. Therefore, they would like to have fermenting
and distilling allowed in the Tukwila Valley South area as well.
Mr. Marvin closed the public hearing.
Mr. Livermore said he agreed with the outright permitted use in the heavy and light
industrial uses, but the TVS area should allow fermenting . and distilling on a conditional
use basis since a number of other uses in that area are permitted on a conditional basis.
MR. LIVERMORE MOVED TO APPROVE L96 -0053: CODE AMENDMENT FOR
FERMENTING AND DISTILLING BASED UPON STAFFS FINDINGS,
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION MAKING THEM A PERMITTED
USE IN THE MICIL AND MIC1H ZONES, AND MAKE THEM A CONDITIONAL

Citizen's Comments

Zoning Code Amendments
City. He says he doesn't believe there's a,vehicle in use in the City
under 80,000 pounds that does not have Jake Brakes. He had not
received or heard any complaints from the Central Business
District or areas located in the southern part of Tukwila. Also,
factories producing these types of brakes must now meet certain
noise standards. Arthur suggested that perhaps one way to handle
the noise in the 124th street area is to establish noise restrictions to
specific hours of the day. He concluded that he believes most of
the noise is coming from trucks that are not mufflered.
Darrell Rootpick, 17035 West Valley Hwy., agreed with Arthur
and added that the Jake Brakes don't make any more noise than
the engine does when pulling steep hills. He believes it's
equipment that has not been maintained or they do not have
mufflers on their trucks. He appealed to the Council not to over
regulate on this issue.
John Welsh, 11405 Southeast 196th, commented that the Jake
Brakes are very definitely a safety factor. He said when a heavily
loaded truck descends the Tukwila hill using the Jake Breaks
lightly to keep the speed reduced, it leaves the other brakes at
maximum capability for quick, emergency stops because they have .
not become over - heated. He suggested that further discussions be
held and invite a trucking company owner or someone from the
fire department to help provide enough information to assist in
adopting an ordinance that everyone can live with.
Councilmember Duffie suggested that the Jake Brakes issue be
forwarded back to the Transportation Committee. At the urging of
Councilmember Haggerton, Duffie said he would invite someone
from the Fire Department and other large truck operators to attend
that meeting.
It was the consensus of the Council to forwarded this issue back to
the Transportation Committee for further discussion.
Councilmember Hernandez explained that areas which developed
under King County's regulations and then were annexed into
Tukwila often have signs that are larger and greater in number than
would be allowed under Tukwila's regulations. The removal of
these non - conforming signs is important to fostering
redevelopment of areas such as Highway 99 because oversized

signs, especially those placed on tall poles close to the roadway,
create a cluttered and confusing visual environment. Tukwila's
Sign Code restricts the number of signs allowed per business and
requires that freestanding signs be set back from property lines in
order to create a more ordered, visual environment.
DCD Director Steve Lancaster commented that these proposed
changes to the Sign Code will set a 3 -year deadline for all on-
premise signs to come into compliance with Tukwila's Sign Code
regulations, change the way sign area is allocated to mixed use
buildings and clarify sign regulations for malls. Currently, Tukwila
treats signs, which were installed under King County's Sign Code
as legally non - conforming and allows them to remain in place until
there is a change of use of the site or a change of business which
requires new signage. One approach to removing non - conforming
signs that have been used in many other cities is called
amortization. Generally this means that businesses are given a
certain period of years in which to bring their signs into
conformance with current codes. The draft amortization ordinance
would set a deadline of January 1, 2000 for non - conforming signs
to be removed. Additional changes to the Sign Code are scheduled
for next year. The areas to be addressed will include off - premise
signs, such as billboards, and political signs.
EXTEND MEETING It was the consensus of the Council to extend the meeting, per
11:00 p.m. TMC 2.04.150{ 14 }, for an additional thirty (30) minutes.
REPORTS
A very lengthy discussion ensued as the Council reviewed and
discussed the Planning Commission's recommendations, and made
amendments accordingly.
The discussion culminated with the Council agreeing that notice be
given to businesses on Highway 99 of the public hearing on code
amendments scheduled for October 7, 1996.
Councilmember Hernandez reported that she had attended the
Hwy. 99 Action Committee on September 10, and walked with the
Citizens' Patrol on September 18. It was pointed out to her that a
couple of the phone booths on the corner of 99 and 150th had a
sign above it which read: "No incoming calls received, and any
outgoing calls used with a credit card, your number will be
recorded and can be used against you in a court of law if

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Rants
FROM: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director
RE: Proposed Sign Code Amendments
Background
John W. Rants, Mayor
Steve Lancaster, Director
Areas which developed under King County's regulations and then were annexed into
Tukwila often have signs which are larger and greater in number than would be allowed
under Tukwila's regulations. The removal of these non - conforming' signs is important to.
fostering redevelopment of areas such as Highway 99 because oversized signs, especially
those placed on tall poles close to the roadway, create a cluttered and confusing visual
environment. Tukwila's Sign Code restricts the number of signs allowed per business
and requires that freestanding signs be set back from property lines in order to create a
more ordered visual environment.
Currently Tukwila treats signs which.were installed under King County's sign code as
legally non - conforming and allows them to remain in place until there is a change of use
of the site or a change of business which requires new signage. While this creates the
least amount of hardship for existing businesses, it also means that change is very slow
and new businesses may be put at a disadvantage due to their less conspicuous signage.
One approach to removing non - conforming signs which has been used in many other
cities is called amortization. Generally this means that businesses are given a certain
period of years in which to bring their signs into conformance with current codes. The
years of use are assumed to give the businesses a fair period of time in which to recoup
their investment in any signs that would have to be removed or changed. The draft .
amortization ordinance would set a deadline of January 1, 2000 for non - conforming signs
to be removed.
The other Code changes proposed are intended to clarify without changing the
regulations that apply to shopping malls and change the regulations that apply to office
buildings to reflect the mixed use nature of our current zoning an_ d the office /retail
market. •

Additional changes to the Sign Code are scheduled for next year. The areas to be
addressed will include off - premise signs (billboards) and political signs:

Planning Commission Recommendation • zz
H Z:
re 61-1
Staff discussed the proposed Sign Code changes with the Planning Commission at a 6 n:
work session on'July 25, 1996. The Commission held a public hearing on August 29, i; o;
1996 at which the Commission pointed out that there was an inconsistency in the text of ; to
the code changes which has since been corrected. The Commission thought that the .J 1
definition of landmark was too vague, and that it would be a loophole which would allow N o
the preservation of an unknown number of undistinguished signs. The Commission then 2
unanimously acted on the proposed Sign Code amendments as follows: g,

BACKGROUND
F=- W,
Staff presented an issue paper on non - conforming signs to the Planning Commission at a 6 D
work session on July 25, 1996. The policy direction given by the Commission was as v o
follows: N°.
• The ordinance should apply to all non - conforming signs, including billboards;
• The amortization period should be three years from the effective date of the CO "-
w o
ordinance;
.
• All businesses should be required to come into compliance with the sign code at then
u. Q
same time with no hardship extension provision; and a'
• • A definition of landmark signs should be developed and businesses which have signs I w
that meet the criteria could apply to keep them indefinitely. z 1--.
1-0
z1--
Staff discussed the issues involved in drafting an amortization ordinance that applied to 2 D'
off - premise signs with the City Attorney and his advice was to handle them separately .v °
from on- premise signs. The legal issues involved in regulation of off - premise signs are :o H
quite different from on- premise signage and a challenge to the off - premise portion of an 'W a
amortization ordinance could prevent us from enforcing amortization of on- premise ~
signage. Given that advice and the fact that all of Tukwila's billboards are non- LI o:
z;.
conforming, Staff has drafted suggested code changes which would only implement an o (12'
amortization period for on- premise signs. 0 I
z
In addition to the changes necessary to implement an amortization ordinance Staff is also
recommending changes to the planned shopping center (mall) and office sections of the
sign code. The need for clarification of these sections was raised by some recent sign
permit applications. The changes to the planned shopping center (mall) section will
clarify the intent of the regulations without substantively changing them. The changes to
the office building section will replace unworkable regulations with new regulations
patterned on the mall regulations. This is suggested because unlike individual
commercial tenants which generally have.exterior wall space on which to place signage,
malls and office buildings often have an internal orientation and tenants may be located in
spaces which do not allow them reasonable access to signage. It is not expected that any
non - conformities would be created by these changes.
DRAFT CODE LANGUAGE
Staff's explanation of the need for the change is given in italics after each section.
'
Staff Report to the Planning Commission/BAR
New Definitions:
L96 -0052
Page 3
Illegal sign: "Illegal sign" means a sign which does not meet Tukwila's current sign
code standards and does not meet the definition of non - conforming sign.
Non - conforming sign: "Non-conforming sign" means a permanent sign which met all
applicable sign code regulations at the time of installation but does not meet Tukwila's
current sign code standards.
Landmark sign: "Landmark sign" means a sign which relates to the history of Tukwila
or the Green River Valley, is a one of a kind design, at least 15 years old and has
remained essentially unchanged (excluding normal maintenance and repair) for the past
15 years.
These new definitions are necessary to implement the amortization section.
Changes to Sign Code Text:
19.08.160 Planned shopping center (mall).
"Planned shopping center (mall) " means a multiple -tenant retail development as defined
in Section 18.06.730755 of this the zoning code (Shopping center (mall), planned).
This change will correct the code reference.
Chapter 19.12 PERMITS
19.12.050 Exceptions - Permits not required.
(2) Painting, repainting or cleaning of an advertising structure, or the changing of the
advertising copy or message thereon shall not be considered an erection or alteration
which requires a sign permit unless a structural or electrical change is made or the area or
the shape of the sign is altered;
This deletion would eliminate the "change of copy" loophole where a new business
replaces the sign face on an existing non- conforming sign rather than coming into
compliance with the sign code.
19.12.140 Permit Expiration
A final inspection by the City is required for all permanent signs when installation is
complete. If a final inspection has not been requested by the applicant or installer within
180 days of sign permit issuance the permit will expire.
This would allow the City to ensure that signs are installed in compliance with the permit
drawings and therefore reduce the number of new non - conforming signs..

This is the amortization provision that the Planning Commission directed staff to
develop. It will set a three year time limit for on premise non - conforming signs to come
into compliance with Tukwila's sign code. The amortization ordinance will not apply to
any signs which are made non - conforming by changes to the sign code after adoption
because this would give them less than 3 years to come into compliance.
19.29.030 Landmark Signs
Business or property owners who have signage thatsneets the definition of landmark
signs may nominate these signs for consideration as landmark signs, a Type 4 decision.
If the Planning Commission approves the designation the sign may be maintained at its
current size and location until such time as the business it advertises changes,
notwithstanding provisions regarding removal_ofnon- conforming signs. A landmark sign
must relate to the history of Tukwila or the Green River Valley. be a one of a kind design,
at least 15 years old and have remained essentially unchanged (excluding normal
maintenance and repair) for the past 15 years.
This provision will allow unique signs which contribute to Tukwila's sense of place to be
retained.
19.29.030 New signs.
No sign permit shall be issued to allow a business additional legal signs if the business is
listed on an illegal or non - conforming sign until such time as the non - conforming or
illegal sign is removed or modified to conform to this code.
This provision will require that businesses bring their non - conforming signs up to code
before installing additional signs.

Retail and office uses are allowed in the same buildings in even the most restrictive office
zone. Strict application of the office signage requirements would mean that an entire
building would have to follow either office or general commercial sign regulations even
though the mix of uses might change over time.
A more straightforward way of handling signage for traditional office buildings with a
common public entrance is to pattern the sign allocation on the mall regulations. This
would allow a total sign area per wall and require tenants to share this sign budget.
Each tenant would be allowed a total of two signs, either two wall signs or one wall sign
and a listing on a freestanding sign, as in the general commercial regulations. Unlike
the general commercial sign regulations though, the sign placement would not be limited
to the wall area fronting the tenant space, because office space often does not have the
same relationship to street frontage as retail space.
An exception is provided to allow office buildings in which each tenant has direct
exterior access to follow the general commercial sign rules. These types of buildings are
most likely to include a mix of retail and office tenants, and basing the signage on each
individual tenant space allows maximum flexibility.
V - PLANNED SHOPPING CENTERS
19.32.150 $u- identification signs for individual businesses — lays.
(a) Individual businesses in a planned shopping center (mall) shall be limited to wall
mounted signs. The total allowed signing signage for any building face shall be equal to
6% of the exposed building face area on which the signs are is to be placed, up to a
maximum of 500 square feet, Each business is permitted with a maximum of four sueli
signs allowed per business and with not more than one sign for any particular business
allowed on any one exposed building face. No one sign shall contain more than 50% of
the allowable sign area. unless approved as a Type 2 decision. Applicants for sign
permits will be required to document the area of the exposed building face on which the
.gn is to be placed. total allowed sign area for that face. area of any existing signs. and
area of the proposed sign.
(b) Businesses located on the perimeter of a planned shopping center (mall) in detached,
separate buildings shall be allowed freestanding signs per Section 19.32.140 (c).
19.32.155 Identification signs for the center as a whole.
(b) Identification signs for the center as a whole shall have an aggregate area of not more
than 300 square feet per street which abuts the development, and no one sign shall
contain more than 50% of the allowable sign area, unless approved as a Type 2 decision.
The height of a freestanding sign shall not exceed the highest portion of any building in
the planned shopping center (mall) which is identified thereby. Non - rolling equipment
and merchandise must be displayed from within buildings or glass- fronted cases, except
in connection with a temporary commercial, industrial or public service display.

CONCLUSIONS
L96 -0052
Page 8
The amortization section of the code would require that non - conforming signs come into
conformity with Tukwila's regulations within three years. This will reduce the
prominence of signage along Tukwila's streetscapes. It will also ensure that old
businesses do not have an unfair advantage over new businesses, which have to conform
to current code requirements.
The changes to the office section'of the code better reflect the mixed use nature of many
office buildings and will accommodate market driven shifts in the mix of tenants. No
non - conformities should be created by these changes.
The changes to the planned shopping center (mall) section of the code clarify the intent of
the section without making substantive changes, therefore no non - conformities will be
created.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends approval of these changes to the sign code.

RE: Proposed sign ordinance amendments
To Whom It May Concern:
RECEIVED
.JlcT -4 1996
OF
CITY A: ARK
We would like to go on record as objecting to the proposed sign ordinance
amendments which the Tukwila City Council will be reviewing on October 7, 1996. Our
business started before we were annexed into the City of Tukwila, and all signage was
legally erected according to the King County standards at that time. We feel that the
grandfather status should continue for all signs until there is a substantial change in the
use of the property or buildings. If the City Council decides to pass the new sign
ordinance amendments we feel that a three -year period is too short, and that any
forced removal of existing signs should be at the City's expense.

MEMORANDUM
FROM: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director
RE: Proposed Sign Code Amendments
Background
Areas which developed under King County's regulations and then were annexed into
Tukwila often have signs which are larger and greater in number than would be allowed
under Tukwila's regulations. The removal of these non - conforming signs is important to
fostering redevelopment of areas such as Highway 99 because oversized signs, especially
those placed on tall poles close to the roadway, create a cluttered and confusing visual
environment. Tukwila's Sign Code restricts the number of signs allowed per business
and requires that freestanding signs be set back from property lines in order to create a
more ordered visual environment.
Currently Tukwila treats signs which were installed under King County's sign code as
legally non - conforming and allows them to remain in place until there is a change of use
of the site or a change of business which requires new signage. While this creates the
least amount of hardship for existing businesses, it also means that change is very slow
and new businesses may be put at a disadvantage due to their less conspicuous signage.
One approach to removing non - conforming signs which has been used in many other
cities is called amortization. Generally this means that businesses are given a certain
period of years in which to bring their signs into conformance with current codes. The
years of use are assumed to give the businesses a fair period of time in which to recoup
their investment in any signs that would have to be removed or changed. The draft
amortization ordinance would set a deadline of January 1, 2000 for non - conforming signs
to be removed.
The other Code changes proposed are intended to clarify without changing the
regulations that apply to shopping malls and change the regulations that apply to office
buildings to reflect the mixed use nature of our current zoning and the office /retail
market.

Planning Commission Recommendation Z
�w
Staff discussed the proposed Sign Code changes with the Planning Commission at a
work session on July 25, 1996. The Commission held a public hearing on August 29, v o,
1996 at which the Commission pointed out that there was an inconsistency in the text of co o •-
the code changes which has since been corrected. The Commission thought that the • co
definition of landmark was too vague, and that it would be a loophole which would allow cn t
the preservation of an unknown number of undistinguished signs. The Commission then w o.
unanimously acted on the proposed Sign Code amendments as follows:
u_ Q'
• The "change of copy" loophole would be eliminated so that a non - conforming sign w a
cannot have a new face installed without coming into compliance with the code. _
• A permit expiration date of 180 days would be set to ensure that all sign permits are H 0'_
properly inspected and signed off. w F'
• An amortization period of three years would be set, at the end of which all businesses D co
with non - conforming signs must come into compliance with the code. 0
• The Planning Commission voted to strike section 19.29.030 and the definition of = w
U;
Landmark Sign which would have created an exemption for landmark signs from the IL I-
-
amortization removal requirements. z
.
co•
• Tenants in traditional office buildings would be allowed exterior wall signs, with Fv—.
businesses sharing a total wall sign area equal to that allowed in other commercial z
zones. Mixed use buildings with no common entrance would be allowed signage
under the same regulations as other commercial buildings.
• Businesses in a planned shopping center seeking new signs would be required to
document the amount of the total wall sign budget that they are proposing to use and
that this much area is available, given the existing signs on the wall.
Council Action
The Community Affairs and Parks Committee will discuss these amendments on
September 17, the Committee of the Whole will discuss them on September 23, and a
public hearing will be held on October 7.

FINDINGS
z
BACKGROUND =- W
rt
F
Staff presented an issue paper on non - conforming signs to the Planning Commission at a -J
6 0
U O;
work session on July 25, 1996. The policy direction given by the Commission was as u) o .
follows: J =.
• The ordinance should apply to all non - conforming signs, including billboards; co �:
• The amortization period should be three years from the effective date of the w O
ordinance; g 21
• All businesses should be required to come into compliance with the sign code at the 1.1.. 21 time with no hardship extension provision; and = d;
• A definition of landmark signs should be developed and businesses which have signs ~ i
that meet the criteria could apply to keep them indefinitely. 1- p
zI-
w
Staff discussed the issues involved in drafting an amortization ordinance that applied to M o
off - premise signs with the City Attorney and his advice was to handle them separately :vo E.
from on- premise signs. The legal issues involved in regulation of off - premise signs are ° I-
T different from on- premise signage and a challenge to the off - premise portion of an cwi
amortization ordinance could prevent us from enforcing amortization of on- premise u. ~o
signage. Given that advice and the fact that all of Tukwila's billboards are non- Lii z.
conforming, Staff has drafted su gg ested code changes which would only implement an v
H=
amortization period for on- premise signs. z ~
In addition to the changes necessary to implement an amortization ordinance Staff is also
recommending changes to the planned shopping center (mall) and office sections of the
sign code. The need for clarification of these sections was raised by some recent sign
•
permit applications. The changes to the planned shopping center (mall) section will
clarify the intent of the regulations without substantively changing them. The changes to
the office building section will replace unworkable regulations with new regulations
patterned on the mall regulations. This is suggested because unlike individual
commercial tenants which generally have exterior wall space on which to place signage,
malls and office buildings often have an internal orientation and tenants may be located in
spaces which do not allow them reasonable access to signage. It is not expected that any
non - conformities would be created by these changes.
DRAFT CODE LANGUAGE
Staff's explanation of the need for the change is given in italics after each section.
Staff Report to the Planning Commission/BAR
New Definitions:
L96 -0052
Page 3
Illegal sign: "Illegal sign" means a sign which does not meet Tukwila's current sign
code standards and does not meet the definition of non - conforming sign.
Non - conforming sign: "Non- conforming sign" means a permanent sign which met all
applicable sign code regulations at the time of installation but does not meet Tukwila's
current sign code standards.
Landmark sign: "Landmark sign" means a sign which relates to the history of Tukwila
or the Green River Valley, is a one of a kind design, at least 15 years old and has
remained essentially unchanged (excluding normal maintenance and repair) for the past
15 years.
These new definitions are necessary to implement the amortization section.
Changes to Sign Code Text:
19.08.160 Planned shopping center (mall).
"Planned shopping center (mall) " means a multiple -tenant retail development as defined
in Section 18.06.73-0755 of this the zoning code (Shopping center (mall), planned).
This change will correct the code reference.
Chapter 19.12 PERMITS
19.12.050 Exceptions - Permits not required.
(2) Painting, repainting or cleaning of an advertising structure, or the changing of the
shall not be considered an erection or alteration
which requires a sign permit unless a structural or electrical change is made or the area or
the shape of the sign is altered;
This deletion would eliminate the "change of copy" loophole where a new business
replaces the sign face on an existing non - conforming sign rather than coming into
compliance with the sign code.
19.12.140 Permit Expiration
A final inspection by the City is required for all permanent signs when installation is
complete. If a final inspection has not been requested by the applicant or installer within
180 days of sign permit issuance the permit will expire.
This would allow the City to ensure that signs are installed in compliance with the permit
drawings and therefore reduce the number of new non - conforming signs..

Chapter 19.29 NON - CONFORMING SIGNS
19.29.010 Removal - On- premise signs.
All non - conforming on- premise signs must be removed or brought into compliance with
Tukwila's sign code standards by January 1, 2000. Non - conforming signs must be
immediately brought into conformance with the current sign code standards or removed if
prior to that date:

or building exterior upon which the non - conforming sign is located are undertaken. the
cost of which equals or exceeds 10% of the building's assessed valuation; or
3) Any part of a non - conforming sign is altered. replaced. moved. or changed,
excluding normal maintenance and repair.
Any sign which becomes non - conforming solely due to changes to the Tukwila Sign
Code enacted after January 1. 1997 will not be required to come into conformity until the
above conditions are triggered,

This is the amortization provision that the Planning Commission directed staff to
develop. It will set a three year time limit for on premise non - conforming signs to come
into compliance with Tukwila's sign code. The amortization ordinance will not apply to
any signs which are made non - conforming by changes to the sign code after adoption
because this would give them less than 3 years to come into compliance.

Business or property owners who have signage that meets the definition of landmark
signs m •y nominate these signs for consideration as landmark signs. a Type 4 decision

Retail and office uses are allowed in the same buildings in even the most restrictive office
zone. Strict application of the office signage requirements would mean that an entire z
building would have to follow either office or general commercial sign regulations even
though the mix of uses might change over time. w 2

A more straightforward way of handling signage for traditional office buildings with a c.) o
common public entrance is to pattern the sign allocation on the mall regulations. This co W
would allow a total sign area per wall and require tenants to share this sign budget.
Each tenant would be allowed a total of two signs, either two wall signs or one wall sign N o:
and a listing on a freestanding sign, as in the general commercial regulations. Unlike 2
the general commercial sign regulations though, the sign placement would not be limited g
to the wall area fronting the tenant space, because office space often does not have the

An exception is provided to allow office buildings in which each tenant has direct z O

Staff Report to the Planning Commission/BAR
CONCLUSIONS
L96 -0052
Page 8
The amortization section of the code would require that non - conforming signs come into
conformity with Tukwila's regulations within three years. This will reduce the
prominence of signage along Tukwila's streetscapes. It will also ensure that old
businesses do not have an unfair advantage over new businesses, which_have to conform
to current code requirements.
The changes to the office section of the code better reflect the mixed use nature of many
office buildings and will accommodate market driven shifts in the mix of tenants. No
non - conformities should be created by these changes.
The changes to the planned shopping center (mall) section of the code clarify the intent of
the section without making substantive changes, therefore no non - conformities will be
created.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of these changes to the sign code.

RE: Proposed Zoning Code Amendment
Background
MEMORANDUM
On July 5, 1996 the Pacific Crest Brewing Company applied for a Business License to operate a craft
brewery and tasting room at 10849 East Marginal Way. The proposed brewery is located in the
Manufacturing/Industrial Center - Heavy (MIC/H) district in North Tukwila. At present, the Zoning
Code definitions of permitted use do not include fermenting and distilling in this zone.
In reviewing previous versions of the Tukwila Zoning Code, fermenting and distilling were permitted
uses in Light /Heavy industrial zones in the City, but prohibited in the Commercial zone and Industrial
Park (C -M) District. When the Zoning Code was recently amended fermenting and distilling was no
longer allowed in the industrial zones. It is staff's opinion that the inclusion of the fermenting and
distilling prohibition in the new industrial zones was an oversight when the Code was changed.
Planning Commission Recommendation
During the August 29, 1996 public hearing, the Planning Commission heard from Ann Nichols, a
representative of the Segale Business Park, who requested that the prohibition on brewing and
distilling be removed from the Tukwila Valley South (TVS) district as well as from those districts
already discussed. The point was made that the industrial character of the TVS. district was similar to
that of the heavy and light industrial areas around the city and that it would be . unfair to remove the
limitation from those zones and not the TVS. The Planning Commission agreed with Ms. Nichols, but
recommended that brewing and distilling be a conditional use rather than an outright permitted use in
the TVS district.

With the change made to include the TVS district, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to
approve the proposal and send it to the City Council. The recommended changes are as follows:
• Amend the list of permitted uses in the Light/Heavy Industrial zones to allow fermenting and
distilling.
• Amend the list of permitted uses in the MIC/L and MIC/H zones to allow fermenting and
distilling.
• Amend the list of conditional uses for the TVS zone to allow fermenting and distilling.
Council Action
The. Community Affairs and Parks Committee will discuss this amendment on September 17, the
Committee of the Whole will discuss it on September 23, and a public hearing will be held on October

SUBJECT: OPEN HOUSE / PUBLIC HEARING ON
PROPOSED SIGN CODE AMENDMENTS
Dear Business Owner or Manager:
Steve Lancaster, Director
The Tukwila City Council is considering some changes to the City's sign regulations that could
affect your business.
Under the City's current ordinances., signs that were legally erected but which do not comply
with current rules and regulations (concerning size, location, number per business, etc.) may
remain in use indefinitely. Such signs enjoy these "grandfather" or "non- conforming use" rights
until there is a substantial change in the use of the property, buildings or signs. The most
common example of "grandfathered" signs are those built to King County standards in areas that
were later annexed to Tukwila.
Under the proposed sign ordinance amendments, signs that were legally erected but which do
not comply with current Tukwila regulations will have to be brought into compliance within:
three years (by the year 2000). At the end of the three year period, all "grandfather" rights
regarding non - conforming signs will expire. Some existing signs will have to be removed or
modified at the owner's .expense. It will also be the owner's responsibility to obtain any permits
needed for removing or modifying non - conforming signs, or installing new signs that conform to
current regulations.
The proposed ordinance amendments also modify the way signs at office buildings and planned
shopping centers are regulated. Generally, these modifications provide greater flexibility to
property owners in determining the placement of building wall signs.
Staff from the Tukwila Department of Community Development will conduct an Open
House to more fully describe these proposed changes and to answer your questions. This Open
House will be held in City Council•Chambers from 5:30 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. on Monday, October
7, .1996.
• The City Council will hold a public hearing on the proposed changes later the same evening.
The public hearing will be held during the Council's regular meeting, which starts at 7:00 P.M.. in
City Council Chambers. You are invited to testify before the City Council at that time or, if you
prefer, you may submit your comments in writing to the City Clerk's office (6200 Southcenter
Boulevard, Tukwila, WA 98188). Written comments must be received no later than 12:00 P.M.
(noon) on Friday, October 4 to ensure their delivery to the City Council before the hearing.' The
City Council is very interested in learning your views on the proposed changes.

FINDINGS
BACKGROUND
While reviewing a business license application for the Pacific Crest Brewery in the East
Marginal Way industrial zone, it was discovered that the ability to conduct fermenting and
distilling operations in industrial zones had been eliminated. Further research indicated that the
change in permitted uses in the industrial zones was an inadvertent act which occurred when the
city's 1995 zoning code was developed. Apparently, several sections of the more restrictive
commercial zone were used in the new industrial zones.
Staff proposed to the Community Affairs and Parks Committee that this be remedied through a
code amendment. The committee expressed support for the proposal. The necessary Zoning
Code amendment was discussed with the Planning Commission at the Commission's regular
July meeting. During that meeting, staff was instructed to investigate the possible impacts that
odors associated with the brewing process might have on surrounding uses.
CODE AMENDMENT
In response to the concerns expressed by Planning Commission members, staff contacted
several local breweries in surrounding jurisdictions and their corresponding chambers of
commerce. With the exception of the Pike Street Brewery in Seattle, none of the breweries
have had any registered complaints regarding odor created during the brewing process. In the
most extreme instance, the Red Hook Brewery in Seattle's Fremont District is directly adjacent
to a large residential zone, and yet no complaints have been received. In the Pike Street
Brewery case, it is believed that the 10 story apartment building located adjacent to the brewery
is encountering steam from the brew kettles as it leaves the building. This situation is unique in
that the residential units are located directly above the brewery and not off to one side.
8/19/96
With the information provided by the breweries, staff reviewed the Tukwila zoning map to
assess potential impacts of brewing on adjacent zones. In the majority of cases, the MIC/L and
MIC/H zones border low density residential districts. This is not considered a problem because
under current zoning, all uses in the Light/Heavy industrial, MIC/L and MIC/H zones must
meet performance standards defined in each district's development standards table. These
performance standards empower the City to take action if permitted uses become incompatible.
A portion of the industrial performance standards is listed below:
Performance Standards: Use, activity and operations within a structure or
a site shall comply with (1) standards adopted by the Puget Sound Air
Pollution Control Agency for odor, dust, smoke and other airborne
pollutants, (2) Tukwila Municipal Code, Ch. 8.22, "Noise ", and (3)
adopted State and Federal standards for water quality and hazardous
materials .. .

Several calls were also made to the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency concerning the
regulation of breweries. The PSAPCA staff indicated that there were no specific regulations
controlling the brewing process or its byproducts. The only instance in which the PSAPCA
indicated it would exercise 'control was over the size of boilers being used in the facility. The
smallest boiler requiring PSAPCA notification would be 10,000,000 BTU/Hr. for natural gas
and 1,000,000 BTU/Hr. for fuel oil boilers. Each of these boilers is significantly larger than
any boiler used in the Micro or Craft brewing process. PSAPCA will respond to specific
complaints regarding excessive odor produced by any facility, but those situations are handled
on a case -by -case basis.
CONCLUSION
In responding to the concerns voiced by the Planning Commission during the July meeting,
staff was instructed to consider the creation of a 1,000 foot buffer zone with residential districts
for all brewing and distilling facilities. After reviewing the available information from
jurisdictions with similar facilities, the PSAPCA and the Tukwila Municipal Code, staff found
no basis for concern regarding the allowance of brewing and fermenting in the industrial zones.
Staff recommends that brewing and distilling be permitted uses in all industrial zones in the
City of Tukwila without further restriction.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the following amendment be made to the permitted use list for the
Light/Heavy Industrial, MIC/L, and MIC/H zones: (18.32.020.(27)), (18.34.020(29)),
(18.36.020(19)) and (18.38.020(21))
Permitted Uses
Manufacturing, processing and/or packaging of foods, including but not limited to, baked
goods, beverages ( • • - :),candy, canned or preserved foods, dairy
products and byproducts, frozen foods, instant foods and meats (no slaughtering);

MEMORANDUM
September 12, 1996
TO: Mayor Rants
FROM: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director
RE: Tree Regulation Code Amendment
Background
The Planning Commission convened a public hearing on August 29, 1996 which included the
review of several amendments proposed to the Zoning Code. Two of the recommended
amendments are directly related to tree regulation in Tukwila. Currently, Black Cottonwood
Trees are not included in the Tree Regulations (TMC 18.54). Therefore, there is no means of
protection or replacement for these trees in the shoreline environments. The second proposed
amendment is a basic revision to a definition for consistency and accuracy.
Attached to this memo is the staff report that was prepared for the August 29th hearing. A
shoreline environments map and a table comparing local tree ordinance regulations are included
as Attachments A and B.
Planning Commission Recommendation
As a result of the August 29, 1996 hearing, the Planning Commission has recommended two
Zoning Code changes related to tree regulation. As listed below the first would amend Section
18.44.110 by adding a subsection (15). The second amendment revises TMC 18.06.775 to bring
our Significant Tree definition into consistency with the definition of "Diameter /diameter - breast-
height (d.b.h.) in TMC 18.06.220 and with the industry standard for measuring trees.
1. "(15) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Code to the contrary, removal of any
cottonwood tree within the river environment or the low impact environment, which tree
is 12 inches or greater in diameter as measured four and one half (4.5) feet above grade,
shall be subject to the requirements of Chapter 18.54 TMC, Tree Regulations."
2. "A 'significant tree' means a tree (cottonwood excluded) which is 4 inches or more in
diameter as measured [5] 4.5 feet above grade."
Council Action
The Community Affairs and Parks Committee will meet on September 17, 1996 to discuss all the
Zoning Code amendments being recommended, the Committee of the Whole will discuss them
on September 23, and a public hearing will be held on October 7. The SEPA determination is
pending the Code changes.

Staff Report to the L96 -0051
Planning Commission Code Amendment
FINDINGS
BACKGROUND:
The new Tukwila Comprehensive Plan contains policies that emphasize the importance
of vegetation along the river. For example, shoreline policies direct staff to ensure that
"significant vegetation" is maintained, and that shoreline development protects
"riverbank vegetation." Policies in the Natural Environment element reflect the
community's concem for quality fish habitat, and the need to preserve and restore
appropriate vegetation" in fish habitat areas. DCD is currently working toward
implementing these policies in a new Shoreline Master Program. It is anticipated that the
new Master Program will be completed during 1997.
In the meantime, shoreline development will be evaluated under regulations dating from
1974. These shoreline regulations have virtually no provisions for review of tree clearing
or for tree replacement. Our tree regulations (TMC 18.54) protect important shoreline
vegetation except black cottonwood trees. However, black cottonwood trees are
protected in sensitive areas which are not part of the Shoreline Zone. Out of this
regulatory gap, there arises a scenario in which shoreline trees can be cleared without a
permit. Where no shoreline permit is required, there is no mechanism to evaluate
impacts, and no tree replacement requirements for the removal of any size black
.cottonwood trees.
Cottonwoods are one of the most significant natural habitat features along the river but
are excluded from protection or replacement. Smaller understory and groundcover plants,
which provide cover and erosion control along the river, may be cleared without a Tree
Permit if the only trees being removed are black cottonwood. "Small- scale" projects, such
as single family, may remove a relatively large amount of vegetation and still fall below
land- altering or shoreline permit thresholds. As a result, the community is likely to see
the continued loss of shoreline vegetation associated with cottonwood trees.
Because of the importance and vulnerability of the river environment, indiscriminate and
unmitigated tree clearing in the shoreline could have significant long -term impacts. The
cumulative impact of many small clearing projects is of particular concern. Alternative
solutions to this issue will be explored during the development of Tukwila's new
Shoreline Master Program. In the interim, a simple code revision can address this
clearing impact to the shoreline.
GAPS IN EXISTING CODES:
The Tukwila Zoning Code contains some provisions for clearing or protecting trees.
However, as noted below, many do not apply to certain areas or vegetation in the
shoreline.

Staff Report to the L96 -0051
Planning Commission Code Amendment
Shoreline Regulations (TMC 18.44)
Tukwila's shoreline regulations exempt tree clearing and minor development from a
shoreline permit (TMC 18.44.080). At the same time, another section of our shoreline
regulations prohibits the "disruption of vegetation" within the 40 -foot River
Environment, unless necessary for safety or done in conjunction with a shoreline permit
('see attached diagram of 40 -foot, 60 -foot, 100 -foot environments) (TMC 18.44.110(4)).
Even where a shoreline permit is required, there are no requirements either to maintain or
replace trees. Thus, beyond the narrow strip of the riverbank itself, there are virtually no
provisions in our shoreline regulations that prevent, limit, or mitigate shoreline clearing.
Tree Regulations (TMC 18.54)
Tukwila's tree regulations include a tree clearing permit process and replacement
standards. A tree clearing permit is usually one of several permits for large developments
or projects involving sensitive areas. The permit fee is currently $25.00.
1995 revisions to the Zoning Code excluded cottonwood as a "significant tree," such that
tree regulations no longer apply to cottonwoods (TMC 18.06.775). This means that most
of the larger trees in the shoreline area are not protected, and there are no requirements to
plant new or alternate trees. Smaller understory vegetation (< 4" diameter) is also
impacted by the removal of overstory cottonwood trees. It is difficult to regulated just the
removal of understory vegetation which provides vegetative cover and erosion control
along the river (TMC 18.06.775).
Sensitive Areas Regulations (TMC 18.45)
Tukwila's sensitive areas regulations address clearing of vegetation around wetlands,
streams and steep slopes. They establish protective vegetation buffers (TMC 18.45.040)
and provide standards for mitigation (e.g. replanting of slopes) (TMC 18.45.080). These
regulations do not apply to the river (TMC 18.06.920).
In prohibiting clearing within designated buffer areas, our sensitive areas regulations
recognize the importance of vegetation to the health of stream corridors. Type 1
watercourses, for example, are given a 70 -foot vegetation buffer (compared to the 40 -foot
setback for vegetation in the river environment) (TMC 18.45.040(c)). While
cottonwoods and smaller understory vegetation are protected along small streams, the
same vegetation along the river- -the only significant salmonid "stream" in Tukwila - -is
not protected.

Staff Report to the L96 -0051
Planning Commission
RECOMMENDED CODE REVISIONS:
Code Amendment
During a discussion of this issue, the Planning Commission expressed interest in having a larger
tree size threshold for cottonwoods along the river than for other regulated trees. While a twelve
(12) inch diameter was discussed, staff continues to believe that a four (4) inch threshold is more
appropriate. We are concerned that having a different size threshold for one species of tree will
cause confusion for property owners, as well as code enforcement and administrative difficulties.
Staff recommends a revision to the Zoning Code, as follows:
Option 1:
Add a subsection 15 to section 18.44.110, General Shoreline Regulations, as follows:
"(15) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Code to the contrary, removal of any tree
within the river environment or the low impact environment, which tree is four (4) inches or
greater in diameter as measured four and one half (4.5) feet above grade, regardless of species,
shall be subject to the requirements of Chapter 18.54 TMC, Tree Regulations."
Option: 2
Alternatively, should a different tree size threshold be desired for cottonwoods in the shoreline
area than for other regulated trees, Section 18.44.110 of the Zoning Code could be amended by
adding the following:
"(15) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Code to the contrary, removal of any
cottonwood tree within the river environment or the low impact environment, which tree is
J inches or greater in diameter as measured four and one half (4.5) feet above grade,
shall be subject to the requirements of Chapter 18.54 TMC, Tree Regulations."
In this case, the Planning Commission may wish to refer to the attached Comparison of Tree
Ordinances to determine the appropriate diameter.
Additional Recommended Amendment:
Finally, as a housekeeping matter, staff recommends the defmition of "significant tree" at TMC
18.06.775 be amended as follows:
"A 'significant tree' means a tree (cottonwood excluded) which is 4 inches or more in
diameter as measured [ §] 4.5 feet above grade."
This change brings our significant tree definition into consistency with both the definition of
"diameter /diameter - breast- height (d.b.h.)" at TMC 18.06.222, and with industry standards.

BACKGROUND
Q
re W_
Staff presented an issue paper on non - conforming signs to the Planning Commission at a 6 D
work session on July 25, 1996. The policy direction given by the Commission was as 0 p
follows: co ° -
w
m..
• The ordinance should apply to all non - conforming signs, including billboards; ,1 1
• The amortization period should be three years from the effective date of the u) u-:
ordinance; W o
• All businesses should be required to come into compliance with the sign code at the ga
u_ Q:
same time with no hardship extension provision; and co
• A definition of landmark signs should be developed and businesses which have signs i W
that meet the criteria could apply to keep them indefinitely. z 1`,
F— o
Staff discussed the issues involved in drafting an amortization ordinance that applied to w w,
off - premise signs with the City Attorney and his advice was to handle them separately v o`
from on- premise signs. The legal issues involved in regulation of off - premise signs are ;o
quite different from on- premise signage and a challenge to the off - premise portion of an
Ili amortization ordinance could prevent us from enforcing amortization of on- premise z v.
signage. Given that advice and the fact that all of Tukwila's billboards are non- u_ p
conforming, Staff has drafted suggested code changes which would only implement an iii z
amortization period for on- premise signs. 0 I'
In addition to the changes necessary to implement an amortization ordinance Staff is also
recommending changes to the planned shopping center (mall) and office sections of the
sign code. The need for clarification of these sections was raised by some recent sign
permit applications. The changes to the planned shopping center (mall) section will
clarify the intent of the regulations without substantively changing them. The changes to
the office building section will replace unworkable regulations with new regulations
patterned on the mall regulations. This is suggested because unlike individual
commercial tenants which generally have exterior wall space on which to place signage,
malls and office buildings often have an internal orientation and tenants may be located in
spaces which do not allow them reasonable access to signage. It is not expected that any
non - conformities would be created by these changes.
DRAFT CODE LANGUAGE
Staffs explanation of the need for the change is given in italics after each section.
z
Staff Report to the Planning Commission/BAR
New Definitions:
L96 -0052
Page 3
Illegal sign: "Illegal sign" means a sign which does not meet Tukwila's current sign
code standards and does not meet the definition of non - conforming sign.
Non - conforming sign: "Non- conforming sign" means a permanent sign which met all
applicable sign code regulations at the time of installation but does not meet Tukwila's
current sign code standards.
Landmark sign: " LandmaFk sign " means a sign which relates to the history of Tukwila
or the Green RivefValley, is a one of a kind design, at least 15 years old and has
remained -ds entially unchanged (excluding normal maintenance and repair) for the past
15.y6arars.
These new definitions are necessary to implement the amortization section.
Changes to Sign Code Text:
19.08.160 Planned shopping center (mall).
"Planned shopping center (mall) " means a multiple -tenant retail development as defined
in Section 18.06.0755 of this, the zoning code (Shopping center (mall), planned).
This change will correct the code reference.
Chapter 19.12 PERMITS
19.12.050 Exceptions - Permits not required.
(2) Painting, repainting or cleaning of an advertising structure, or the changing of the
shall not be considered an erection or alteration
which requires a sign permit unless a structural or electrical change is made or the area or
the shape of the sign is altered;
This deletion would eliminate the "change of copy" loophole where a new business
replaces the sign face on an existing non - conforming sign rather than coming into
compliance with the sign code.
19.12.140 Permit Expiration
A final inspection by the City is required for all permanent signs when installation is
complete. If a final inspection has not been requested by the applicant or installer within
180 days of sign permit issuance the permit will expire.
This would allow the City to ensure that signs are installed in compliance with the permit
drawings and therefore reduce the number of new non - conforming signs..

Retail and office uses are allowed in the same buildings in even the most restrictive office
zone. Strict application of the office signage requirements would mean that an entire
building would have to follow either office or general commercial sign regulations even
though the mix of uses might change over time.
A more straightforward way of handling signage for traditional office buildings with a
common public entrance is to pattern the sign allocation on the mall regulations. This
would allow a total sign area per wall and require tenants to share this sign budget.
Each tenant would be allowed a total of two signs, either two wall signs or one wall sign
and a listing on a freestanding sign, as in the general commercial regulations. Unlike
the general commercial sign regulations though, the sign placement would not be limited
to the wall area fronting the tenant space, because office space often does not have the
same relationship to street frontage as retail space.
An exception is provided to allow office buildings in which each tenant has direct
exterior access to follow the general commercial sign rules. These types of buildings are
most likely to include a mix of retail and office tenants, and basing the signage on each
individual tenant space allows maximum flexibility.

Staff Report to the Planning Commission/BAR
CONCLUSIONS
L96 -0052
Page 8
The amortization section of the code would require that non - conforming signs come into
conformity with Tukwila's regulations within three years. This will reduce the
prominence of signage along Tukwila's streetscapes. It will also ensure that old
businesses do not have an unfair advantage over new businesses, which have to conform
to current code requirements.
The changes to the office section of the code better reflect the mixed use nature of many
office buildings and will accommodate market driven shifts in the mix of tenants. No
non - conformities should be created by these changes.
The changes to the planned shopping center (mall) section of the code clarify the intent of
the section without making substantive changes, therefore no non - conformities will be
created.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends approval of these changes to the sign code.

Background
One issue associated with the ongoing effort to improve the Pacific Highway
commercial area, has been an increased focus on signs which do not conform to Tukwila's
sign code. The Comprehensive Plan contains a policy dealing with this issue:
1.8.4 Promote a gradual reduction in the number and size of commercial signs
through the adoption of an amortization period for nonconforming signs.
The removal of non - conforming signs is important to fostering redevelopment of an
area because oversized signs, especially those placed on tall poles close to the roadway,
create a cluttered and confusing visual environment. Tukwila's sign code restricts the
number of signs allowed per business and requires that freestanding signs be set back from
property lines in order to create a more ordered visual environment.
Currently Tukwila treats signs which were installed under King County's sign code
as legally non - conforming and allows them to remain in place until there is a change of use
of the site or a change of business which requires new signage. While this creates the least
amount of hardship for existing businesses, it also means that change is very slow and new
businesses may be put at a disadvantage due to their less conspicuous signage.
In 1994 the City conducted a survey of signage along the Highway 99 corridor to
identify the number and type of non - conforming signs. The survey indicates that many of
the non - conforming signs along Highway 99 are painted directly on walls or sheets of
plywood and therefore are relatively low cost to alter or remove. Other signs could be
brought into conformance by being moved or lowered without altering the sign itself.
Signs made of channel letters, on awnings, or oversized cabinet signs would likely have to
be replaced to bring the business into compliance with the sign code. The Highway 99
Task Force supports the development of an ordinance to require the removal of non-
conforming signs within a five year period.
Amortization Ordinance
One way of removing non - conforming signs which has been used in many other
cities is called amortization. Generally this means that businesses are given a certain
period of years in which to bring their signs into conformance with current codes. The
years of use are assumed to give the businesses a fair period of time in which to recoup

their investment in any signs that would have to be removed or changed. Generally the
city performs a survey of all signs in the city and notifies the owners of any non-
conforming signs about the sign code regulations that they must meet by the end of the
amortization period. Near the end of the period the owners of any remaining non-
conforming signs are notified that they must comply by the deadline. To develop a
workable and legally enforceable ordinance we must make some basic choices about the
scope of the amortization.
04y, cr-2.G-S .7
What types of signs will the ordinance address? �� 5- �at4-r- -�
ordinance should /fie.!- (-7/ e-ktyl «io0 d
pply to all non - conforming signs, including billboards; or ; —<,� pc., cur—
apply only to on- premise signs, excluding billboards.
Recommendation: The legal issues for off premise signs (billboards) are different from
on -site signs so it is likely that they would have to be treated differently in the ordinance.
For this reason and to spread out the work load staff recommends that only on- premise
signs be addressed by this ordinance and that off - premise signs be addressed at a later date.
How low'. should the amortization period be?
hree years from the effective date of the ordinance; or
2. Five years from the effective date of the ordinance; or
3. Nine years from the effective date of the ordinance.
Recommendation: In order to be considered legally non - conforming a sign must have
conformed to another jurisdiction's regulations at the time of installation, though it does
not conform to Tukwila's code. Therefore non - conforming signs are found in areas that
were developed prior to annexation into the City. The most recent annexation was in 1990,
so the "grace" period for non - conforming signs would really be six years plus the
amortization period given in the ordinance. The Highway 99 Task force has recommended
an amortization period of five years. Staff recommends an amortization period of three
years because it gives business owners nine years in which to recover their investment in
the sign, while quickly moving toward a more level playing field for new and established
businesses.
Should there be a hardship extension of the amortization period?
1. An extension of the amortization period should be granted to businesses that can
demonstrate that they spent a substantial amount of money on repair or maintenance of a
non - conforming sign within the past few years; or
(DAB businesses should be required to come into compliance with the sign code at
the same time.

Recommendation: Staff recommends that this decision be based upon the length of the
amortization period. If a period of three years is chosen.a monetary threshold be
developed, over which businesses would be allowed to apply to keep their signs for an
additional period of time. If a period of nine years is chosen there would be no need for the
hardship provision.
Shoul ere be an exemption for landmark signs?
A definition of landmark signs should be developed and businesses which have
signs Thatf meet the criteria could apply to keep them indefinitely, subject to approval by the
Planning Commission; or
2. All businesses should be required to come into compliance with the sign code at
the same time.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that a carefully worded definition be developed to
retain unique signs which add to Tukwila's sense of place until such time as there is a
change of business on site.
Summary
Based on the policy direction given by the Planning Commission at this work
session Staff will draft an amortization ordinance for your review at the August 22
meeting. A more complete revision of the sign code including the political sign, real estate
sign, and change of copy provisions is planned for early 1997.

which met all applicable sign code regulations at the time of installation but does
not meet Tukwila's current sign code standards.
Section 2. TMC 19.12.050 (2) of Ordinance 1274 § 1(part) is amended to read as follows:
19.12.050 Exceptions - Permits not required.

Introduction:
The 1997 Tukwila Commercial Sign,Inventory was conducted from June 16, to August 31, 1997. The
main business database was based on the City Clerk's Business license database as of March 27, 1997.
Of the 1,681 records in the complete database, 1,295 were Pre - screened by the Project Manager or
found to have no signs. The remaining 386 businesses were inventoried by a two person team of
surveyors. Each surveyed business has a paper file with photographs of each sign and a computer file
with sign area and setback information. The legal status of a business can be updated as there signs
come into compliance with the sign code, but the sign database should never be altered. This database
is intended to provide a snap -shot in time for the purpose of determining sign code conformity and is
not intended to track sign permit applications.
INSTRUCTIONS
Finding a Business and Updating the File
The following list of instructions is intended to provide a step by step illustration for the procedures
used to locate a business, check its legal status as it applies to the Sign Code and review its on-
premises signage.
1. The Planner in charge of reviewing Sign Permit Applications is ultimately responsible for checking
all new applications against the Sign Inventory database.
2. When a permit application is received, the planner in charge will start the Microsoft Access 2.0
program on the Sign Inventory computer.
3. Open the folder marked "survey97 ", from the Open Database menu. Then look for the file
"signs.mdb ". Open this file. The complete path is C: /access /survey97 /signs.mdb.
4. When the "Sign Inventory Main Menu" appears on the screen you have successfully accessed the
database.
5. The second button in the main menu is the "Find Business" macro. By clicking on this button
once, the computer will ask a series of questions to identify the business you are looking for.
6. To begin the search, you can enter information in any of the three computer prompts. The
categories are State ID Number, Business Name and Street Address. If no information comes to
the screen after entering the requested information, check your spelling or street designation. The
database does not interpolate misspelled street names to the closest word. The screen will just
come up blank. To skip an item you do not have information for, hit "Return". You do not have to
have all three pieces of information to find a business.
7. If the screen continues to come up blank after several tries, then the business may not have been
included in the original database. If it is a new business in an existing location, always check the
street address to identify the last tenant of that space. Be sure that all old signage is removed from
the previous tenant.

8. If you do find that the business in question has nonconforming signs, check the proposed plans to
see that all nonconforming signs are removed. If you are satisfied that the business is in FULL
compliance with the Sign Code, you may change the legal status from "NonConforming" to "Came
into Compliance"
9. All nonconforming businesses have no check in any of the three legal status boxes. The legal
status boxes are the "Pre Screen ", "Conforming" and "Came into Compliance ". The only change
to legal status that you should ever perform is to check the "Came into Compliance" box and enter
the effective date in the space to its right.
10. When the box has been checked and the date entered, pull down the "Records" tool bar and select
"Refresh ". This will up -date the database. No other changes are needed to change a businesses
legal status.
11. With this complete, you are ready to return to the main menu and close the database. Click on the
"Return to Menu" button at the top of the database viewing-screen. When the main menu comes
up, click on "Quit"
12. All Done.

Reports/Listing
To generate a report of the nonconforming businesses or signs in the city, you will need to use the
"Reports/Listings" macro in the main menu. The database has been constructed with seven
preprogrammed queries to generate reports. Two of these queries allow the operator to sort by street
name or use code. The "Prescreened" query will generate a list of the businesses which were
prescreened and not fully surveyed. All of these businesses are considered conforming. The "Came
into Compliance" query allows you to search for all business which have come into compliance within
a requested time period. This query should prove useful in tracking the progress of the amortization
process.
The three sign queries allow the operator to list all nonconforming signs by type. All other queries are
based on the legal status of the business. These three are based solely on the individual sign. The legal
status of individual signs should never be altered to reflect changes over time. Only the legal standing
of the business should be changed.
NonConforming Listing
The following list of instructions is intended to provide a step by step illustration for the procedures
used to print a list of all nonconforming businesses. Please remember that this nonconforming status
refers to the Sign Code only.
1. The Planner in charge of reviewing Sign Permit Applications is ultimately responsible for checking
all new applications against the Sign Inventory database. Only the planner in charge should start
the Microsoft Access 2.0 program on the Sign Inventory computer.
2. Open the folder marked "survey97 ", from the Open Database menu. Then look for the file
"signs.mdb ". Open this file. The complete path is C: /access /survey97 /signs.mdb.
3. When the "Sign Inventory Main Menu" appears on the screen you have successfully accessed the
database.
4. From the main menu, choose the " Reports/Listing" button. When the Report/Listing chain menu
comes up, choose the "NonConforming Listing"
5. The computer will prompt you to enter a street name. If you do not wish to limit your search to a
specific street, enter nothing and click "OK ".
6. The computer will produce a report of all nonconforming businesses for a given street or the entire
city. This report can be printed by clicking on the "Print" command from the tool bar.
7. To exit, return to the "Main Menu" and "Quit ".

Printing a Notice Letter
After the City Council has adopted and amortization ordinance and set a date for compliance, it will be
necessary to notify all nonconforming businesses of the implications to there properties. The "Non
Conform Letter" button in the main menu is linked to the nonconforming database, and is used to
generate a mailing list. The mail merge function of Microsoft Word can be used to print both the
notification letters and the envelopes or mailing labels. The Notification letter is accessible through
Microsoft Word 6.0. It is found in the "Survey97" folder and the file name is "Non_Conf.doc ". When
letters are sent to nonconforming businesses, the "Non Conforming Letter Date" button is used to mark
all the nonconforming files with the date on which the letters were sent. It is important never to click
this button unless you intent to send out a letter. The program automatically overwrites the most
current date in the business file. Instructions for each of the letter functions are described below.

INFORMATION ABOUT NONCONFORMING SIGNS
WHAT IS A NONCONFORMING SIGN? A "nonconforming sign" is a business
or advertising sign that complied with all regulations when it was built or erected; but
which is no longer consistent with current regulations because the regulations have
changed. The most common ways that regulations change, resulting in signs becoming
nonconforming, are:
• through annexation to a city having sign regulations that are different from the
county's regulations; and z
• through changes to the City's sign code or related regulations. 1 Z`
re w
6
IF MY SIGN IS NONCONFORMING, DO I HAVE TO TAKE IT DOWN? o o
Not necessarily. Under Tukwila's current sign code, legally established nonconforming . cow "
signs can remain in place until one of the following things happens:
V) LL
w0°
• there is a change in the use of the land, building or tenant space that the sign 2
identifies; g
• there are substantial alterations or enlargement to the site or building exterior, N a
requiring issuance of a license or permit from the City; or i w.
• there are "substantial changes" made to the sign itself. z1._
I- o.
In any of these instances, nonconforming signs must be brought into full compliance W L
with sign regulations as they currently exist. D o:
0 S2
oI-
WHAT DOES THE CITY CONSIDER TO BE "SUBSTANTIAL:
CHANGES" TO A NONCONFORMING SIGN? The following "substantial o .
changes" cannot occur to a nonconforming sign, unless the sign is brought into full di cn
compliance with all applicable sign regulations as they currently exist o I
z
• structural or electrical changes requiring a building or electrical permit;
• alteration to the size or shape of a nonconforming sign; and
• a change in the advertising copy or message on a nonconforming sign, unless the
sign is specifically designed for the use of changeable copy (examples include
readerboards and theater marquees).
Cleaning, repainting and other routine maintenance of nonconforming signs are
allowed and encouraged, as long as they do not involve structural or electrical
changes, alteration of sign area or shape, or a permanent change of copy or message.
HOW CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION ON CITY SIGN REGULATIONS
AND HOW THEY AFFECT MY PROPERTY OR BUSINESS? Contact:
