Dear Kjell:
I received your letter of August 1st concerning the revised site plan
approval for Parkway Place office building and the new Doubletree. In
your opening paragraph you referred to a "5 ft landscape strip and 5 ft
sidewalk adjacent to Strander Boulevard ". As I'm sure you are aware the
changes to the site plan were adjacent to Southcenter Parkway.
So that your records and ours can be accurate I would like to request
the site plan approval letter be corrected to reflect the notation of
Southcenter, Parkway.
Cordially,
T mothy S. Dubois

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM VI G : REVISED P : Doubletree Lodge & Parkway Place Office B
SUBJECT: Proposed revisions to site plan for Doubletree Lodge and Parkway Place
Office Building.
APPLICANT: City of Tukwila
BACKGROUND:
The above applications have both been reviewed and site plans approved by the
Board of Architectural Review. This site plan approval indicated the requirement
of a five (5) foot wide sidewalk and fifteen (15) feet of landscaping. The land-
scape width being a code requirement of the C -M zone. Subsequent to this, building
permits have been issued, contracts let, and construction of both projects is underway.
As you know, Entranco Engineering is doing a traffic study for the City. Per the
attached letters from Terry Monaghan, the City's Public Works Director, they have
determined that an additional right turn lane is warranted and consequently the
above projects have been requested to dedicate seven feet to allow the construction
of this lane.
The applicants both have indicated a willingness to dedicate the land if they can
accommodate any site plan changes basically within the fifteen foot landscape area.
Since seven (7) feet of the proposed fifteen (15) foot landscape area is required
for dedication, this leaves a total of eight (8) feet available for sidewalk and
landscaping. The project owners are proposing the following:
1. They will dedicate the seven (7) feet.
2. The remaining eight (8) feet be expanded to 10 feet by making parking stall
depths 18 feet and reducing the section width to 60 feet (two 18 foot parking
stalls and a 24 foot traffic aisle). Also treat the 10 feet as follows:
a. A four (4) foot sidewalk on private property adjacent to the road.
b. A six (6) foot landscape area with car overhangs allowed for two feet.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. I have talked to the City Attorney. Since this dedication is a requirement of
the City after the fact, it is not necessary for the City to apply for and
receive a variance.
Planning Commission
Staff Report

26 July 1979
2. The owners are willing to cooperate in the traffic solution. If the City can-
not work out an equitable solution and the owners become unwilling to cooperate,
condemnation proceedings would be . required to acquire the property.
3. It is in the best interest of both the City and the owners to work out an
equitable solution without entailing any proceedings at law.
4. This area will have a heavy concentration of pedestrians due to the type of
adjacent land use and the land use in the generalized vicinity making a major
sidewalk essential.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. In terms of equity, staff recommends the allowance of 18 foot long parking
stalls to allow an area 10 feet wide for landscaping and sidewalk.
2. Staff further recommends that the entire 10 foot width be developed as side-
walk with street trees incorporated at 15 feet on center, seven feet•from the
new right -of -way property line. (Distance on center subject to change upon
recommendation of a landscape architect.)
Reasons:
a. Car overhangs would be at least two feet into a landscape strip.
b. Minimum standards for sidewalk widths in the City is five feet. With .
the volume of traffic, walking in this area adjacent to a street with
the traffic volume of Southcenter Parkway would be intimidating.
c. This area would have a very high concentration of pedestrians. It'is
not unlike a downtown area and a 10 foot sidewalk would not be unreasonable.
It is hoped that this recommendation and the alternative proposed by the applicant
can be discussed by all parties the night of the Commission meeting and a satisfying
solution reached amenable to all parties.

MEMORANDUM
To: Planning Commission
FROM: Kjell Stoknes
DATE: July 13, 1979
SUBJECT: Site Plan Modifications -- Parkway Place Office Building & Doubletree Lodge
Both of the above referenced developments were required by the Planning
Commission to construct a 5 foot sidewalk and provide a 15 foot land-
scape strip as a result of the requirements of the Tukwila Zoning Code.
After issuance of a Building Permit, it was determined through a traffic
study being conducted by a consultant through the Public Works Department
that an additional 12 foot traffic lane was warranted northbound adjacent
to these sites. This requirement is acceptable to both the Doubletree
and Parkway Place owners, however, modifications to the site plan are
necessary as a result of this action.
The result of this need for the additional traffic lane northbound,
for right hand turns, would require a dedication of 6 or 7 feet by
both the Parkway Place Office Building and Doubletree lodge. They are
willing to provide this dedication if the City is willing to accept
a modified site plan. They are proposing a 4 foot sidewalk adjacent
to the new traffic lane with 7 foot of landscaping internal to that.
Since this is a requirement of the Public Works Department relating to
access to the property and since Building Permits have been issued and
construction underway, it is our recommendation that the Planning
Commission authorize this site plan review to allow a 4 foot sidewalk
with a 7 foot landscape area, specific details of the landscape plan to
be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission at a later date and
prior to occupancy.
Attached is the proposed landscape modifications to the Parkway Place
Office Building adjacent to Southcenter Boulevard. It would be the intent
that this same landscape scheme would be extended southerly to the Doubletree
Lodge parcel as well so the two developments will be coordinated.

Dear Mr. Dubois:

Doubletree II Project
Enclosed for your review and information is a copy of the grading and storm drainage
plan for the Doubletree I.I project as prepared by Triad Associates.
We draw your attention to two notations on the enclosed plan regarding future widen -
ings for roadway. We have determined that, based on future development in the area
and traffic growth, a 16 -foot roadway widening has good potential of occurring on
Strander Blvd. from Southcenter Parkway to Andover Park West. At this time, we do
not see this widening for at least one to three years.
However, recent traffic studies indicate that total traffic flow will be improved at
the intersection of Southcenter Parkway and Strander Blvd. by the construction of a -
right -turn lane.in northbound Southcenter Parkway. The need for this right -turn lane
is immediate. We have, therefore, required that the acceleration and deceleration
lanes on Southcenter Parkway for the Doubletree II project, the Parkway Place project
and the Hayden Island project be constructed in conformance with the 12 -foot widening.
We have noted the requirements for the acceleration and deceleration lanes on the
enclosed plan. In cases where there is an overlap in the required length of an accel-
eration and deceleration lane from two driveways, we have shown the full 12 -foot width
as required from driveway to driveway. In the case where there is no overlap between
an acceleration and deceleration lane, the City will participate in improving the addi-
tional 12 -foot lane so that, in effect, we have a complete new 12 -foot lane from the
south curb line of Strander Blvd. to the south property line of the Hayden Island pro-
perty. It is my expectation that the City will participate in the full width widening
simultaneously with the building of the acceleration and deceleration lanes. In any
event, ultimately the 12 -foot widening will involve the dedication of approximately
7 feet of additional right -of -way on the east side of Southcenter Parkway from the
south property line of Strander Blvd. to the south property line of the Hayden Island
property.

Parkway Place Project
Enclosed for your review and information is a copy of the grading and storm drainage
plan for the Parkway Place project as prepared by Triad Associates with our review
comments and requirements for-the access to the subject property. This review is
consistent with our discussion of June .13.
Please note that you have been issued a curb cut permit No. 43 -79 on April 26, 1979
which will not become effective until August 1, 1979 and will run for a period of 60
days. This construction must be in accordance with the requirements of the approved
plan enclosed.
We draw your attention to two notations on the enclosed plan regarding future widenings
for roadway. We have determined that, based on future development in the area and traffic
growth, a 16 -foot widening has good potential of occurring on Strander Blvd. from South -
center Parkway to Andover Park West. At this time, we do not see this widening for at

REVISED DEVELOPMENT PLANS: Doubletree Inn
REQUEST: REVISED DEVELOPMENT PLANS to allow a modification from
site plans reviewed with the Conditional Use Permit on
13 October 1977 for the construction and operation of a
motel /restaurant complex pursuant to Section 18.64.020
(20) TMC.
APPLICANT: Timothy DuBois, Manager
Doubletree Inn
205 Strander Boulevard, Tukwila, Washington
LOCATION: Generally located at the southeast corner of the
intersection of Strander Boulevard and Southcenter
Parkway.
SIZE: Approximately ±7.9 acres.
ZONE: C -M (Industrial Park)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Commercial
INTRODUCTION:
On 16 November 1978, the Planning Commission withdrew their approval of the
site plan for the Doubletree Inn. The original approval granted on 13 October
1978 (Exhibit A) required that the applicant return to the Board of Architec-
tural Review to consider exterior treatment details of all buildings.
The applicant has submitted new development plans including (1) a revised site
plan, (Exhibit B); (2) elevations, (Exhibit C); (3) ground floor plan, (Exhibit
D); and (4) a typical floor plan, (Exhibit E). The basic modifications call for
elimination of the free - standing restaurant and enlargement of the motel and
internal food and beverage facilities.
FINDINGS:
1. On 7 December 1978, the Board of Adjustment confirmed the variance intent
for the Doubletree Inn. They found that the new proposal complied with
the scope and intent in that the modifications did not alter the complex
interrelationships of a motel /hotel convention facility.
2. The elimination of the free - standing restaurant provided additional space
for design flexibility. The new proposal increases the total number of
motel rooms from 312 to 393; the meeting rooms increased from 10,920
square feet to 11,880 square feet; the food and beverage facilities
Planning Commission Page 2
Staff Report 20 December 1978
increased from 4,650 square feet to 5,400 square feet; and the administrative
offices increased from 2,070 square feet to 2,500 square feet. The motel
tower has been modified from 7 to 8 floors without an increase in height.
The main floor instead of being 22 feet high will be 12 feet high.
3. The environmental review of the proposal under the State Environmental Policy
Act (SEPA) and City of Tukwila Ordinance #986, which led to a Declaration of
Non - Significance, is still applicable since the project is within the scope
of the original environmental review.
4. Even with the increased number of rooms and floor space allocations, there was
an excess of land for the development. Approximately ±.35 of an acre will be
sold to the Stephen Koehler Company for the construction of the Southcenter
Office Building.
5. The proposals for the Doubletree Inn and the Southcenter Office Building
utilize one major access off of Southcenter Parkway.
6. The problem of on -site traffic circulation at the building entrance has been
addressed by the creation of a partially covered cul -de -sac with an island
in the middle.
ANALYSIS:
Even though the individual design components of the Doubletree Inn have been modi-
fied, the intended usage of the facility as a hotel /convention center has not
changed. Therefore, the interrelationships of component functions within the
hotel complex are not modified and the parking factors established in the staff
report dated 1 September 1977 to the Board of Adjustment (Exhibit F) are still
valid and applicable.
If any other functions would have been added to the facility such as commercial
stores or private recreational facilities, the interrelationships established
for the parking factors would not have held true. At that point a new applica-
tion for a variance and conditional use permit would have been required.
A comparison of the application of those factors can be seen in the following

The location of the main motel /hotel structure has not been significantly
altered. However, the emphasis on one main access combined with the circula-
tion problem has prompted the redesign of the main floor. The expansion of the
food and beverage facilities, the meeting rooms, and the administrative offices
have resulted in a reduction of the lobby (atrium) area. The circular drive at
the entrance does solve the entrance traffic problem. Unfortuneately, solving
the problem may have resulted in a less aesethically pleasing interior design.
The exterior treatment of the Doubletree Inn will be the Dryvit System. This
system provides a smooth stucco texture. It is probable that the precast con-
crete will have the texture applied in the factory. The structure will then
be painted in warm earthtones. The bronze tone glass will be encased in bronze
annodized aluminum window and door frames. This will be a pleasing aesethic
contrast with the Southcenter Office Building, which will be painted a dove gray.
Across Southcenter Parkway the structures are much smaller and treated with brick
or natural woods. The tentative plans for the office building to the south of
the Doubletree is to be either brick or concrete.
The applicant will still need to comply with all the original stipulations of
approval of the Conditional Use Permit.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission, based on the Find-
ings and Conclusions contained in this Staff Report, approve the revised site
plan and exterior architectural treatment of the motel /restaurant complex.

The public hearing was opened by Chairman Duffie. Mr. Timothy Dubois, Manager of the
Doubletree Inn was present to answer questions of the Board.
The Board discussed the modifications in design from 312 rooms to 393 rooms plus the
elimination of the free standing restaurant. The problems of pedestrian and motor
vehicle traffic on Southcenter Parkway and Strander Boulevard were discussed. Increased
traffic congestion especially on Strander Boulevard prompted the

Chambers to the Board of Adjustment for regular meetings. Chairman Duffie turned
the chair over to Vice - Chairman Goe so he could make the following motion:
MOTION BY MR. DUFFIE, SECONDED BY MISS MORGAN THAT WE WRITE THE MAYOR TO ACKNOW-
LEDGE RECEIPT OF HIS LETTER AND WE THANK HIM.
Mr. Duffie, Mrs. Rinehart, Miss Morgan and Chairman Goe voted yes.
Mrs. Altmayer voted no based on the belief that it is unnecessary. She did not
object to the use of the conference room, but the Board should feel free to use
the Council Chambers if necessary. She wanted it clearly understood that it was
not a demand of the Mayor or the City Council to use the Council Chambers.
The possibility of the Southcenter Office Building having to apply for a variance
was discussed. The staff informed the Board that the Planning Commission had
reviewed the site plan and had approved the development plans with certain condi-
tions; however, the developer had not been able to meet one of the conditions.
It is possible that meeting all the conditions could result in the proposal not
complying with the Tukwila Municipal Code and a variance having to be requested
by the applicant.
The Board discussed the implementation of their definition of a "truck terminal ".
Mr. Goe felt the staff's method of reviewing business licenses was too slow and
ineffective. The Board was informed that a variance request for Garfield Trucking
from the automobile parking requirement would be on thier January 4th agenda.
MOTION BY MRS. ALTb9AYER, SECONDED BY MR. GOE TO ADJOURN. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
The regular December meeting of the Board of Adjustment adjourned at 9:50 p.m.

AGENDA ITEM IV B
PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE (Doubletree Inn)
REQUEST: VARIANCE from Parking Requirements (18.20.070 TMC)
APPLICANT: Doubletree Inn, Tukwila
LOCATION': Southeast corner of the intersection of Strander Boulevard
and Southcenter Parkway directly south of the existing
Doubletree Inn.
SIZE: ±8.25 acres
ZONE: CM (Industrial Park)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Industrial (Existing Plan)
Commercial (Proposed Plan)
INTRODUCTION:
The Doubletree'"Inn :proposes to develop a new hotel /restaurant complex on the
large parcel of vacant land directly south of the existing Doubletree Inn. A
variance has been requested as a vehicle to determine the actual need for park-
ing due to the nebulous requirement of .Section 18.20.070 (TMC). Much of the
data included in the application was compiled for a previous variance request
in January 1976.
FINDINGS:
1. The ±8 -acre site is proposed to contain a 208 -room 7 -story hotel building
with banquet, eating and entertainment areas, a separate and individual
restaurant and lounge, a possible 4 -story 104 -room hotel expansion building
with banquet facilities, and a total of 500 parking spaces. (SEE, site plan,
Page 8, Parking Variance Proposal.)
2. The Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC), under Section 18.20.070, requires Hotels
and Motels to provide "...One space for each bedroom, plus adequate parking
for special eating, banquet or entertainment facilities."
3. Lacking any specific requirements within the TMC regarding parking for
"eating, banquet or entertainment facilities ", Staff has employed the
Uniform Building Code in conjunction with the provisions under Places of
Other Public Assembly, Sections 18.56.110 and 18.56.120, for such use areas
Board of Adjustment
Staff 'Report
Page 2
1 September 1977
and Section 18.56.160 for the administrative offices. (SEE, Exhibit A,
Square Feet per Occupant by Use Area)
4. As a result of application of Sections 18.20.070, 18.56.110, 18.56.120 and
18.56.160 to the use areas identified in the Parking Variance Proposal and
which require that parking be provided, the number of parking spaces required
by the TMC is broken down and totalled in Exhibit B.
5. Based on an 18 -month survey of banquet facilities use characteristics
described on Page 16 of the Parking Variance Proposal the applicant
establishes that 78% of the banquets or meetings use one banquet area for
business and another banquet area for eating. In effect, the banquet par-
ticipants are using twice the floor area for which parking is required with-
out generating the vehicle trips assumed by the TMC for the second banquet
area. The applicant's basic assertion with respect to this factor is that
parking should be provided to accomodate half of the maximum number of 728
banquet participants. (NOTE: The 728 banquet participant figure is arrived
at by dividing the 10,920 square feet of banquet floor area by the 15 square
feet per occupant dictated under the Uniform Building Code.)
6. Multiple use within a hotel /restaurant complex is a common factor .and is
addressed by the applicant on Page 18 of the Parking Variance Proposal.
This factor essentially identifies the ratio of hotel room occupants that
frequent the eating facilities such as the coffee shop, restaurant or
lounge located within the hotel. Since these persons assumedly arrive at
the hotel, park their vehicle, occupy their hotel room and walk to the coffee
shop, restaurant or lounge located within the hotel, they constitute an occu-
pant of the eating facilities without generating a need for the eating facility
to provide parking space. The maximum ratio identified is 90% of coffee shop
morning patrons being hotel guests who have already parked their vehicle and
walked from their hotel room to the coffee shop. The minimum ratio asserted
by the applicant`is 25 %, that occurring during the noon hour at both the coffee
shop and restaurant. Hence, the greatest number of parking spaces required by
the eating facilities is 5% of the TMC requirement.
7. The peak demand analysis graphically depicted on Pages 23 and 24 of the
Parking Variance Proposal asserts that, based on actual car counts“,. the
existing Doubletree Inn facility generates a peak parking demand of less
than 250 cars for all but 12 days out of the year. (SEE, Page 19; Parking
Variance Proposal for explanation of "Peak Demand ".) Using this data, the
applicant extrapolates that such peak parking *demand at the proposed complex
will be less than 425 cars for all but 12 days out of the year.
8. Proximity of the existing as well as the proposed complex to the Sea -Tac
International Airport is of important consequence to the number of parking
spaces actually required to provide sufficient parking for hotel room guests
only. The Parking Variance Proposal, on pages 25 and 26, explains the num-
ber of hotel room guests which arrive by other than private automobile such
as limousine service or taxi. The applicant asserts that only 31 °% of all
hotel room occupants arrive by private automobile and, thus, require parking
space.
Board of Adjustment Page 3
Staff Report ( 1 September 1977
9. Page 28 of the Parkins Variance Proposal asserts that an non - quantifiable
but "considerable" number of Southcenter shoppers walk to the existing
facility and that such would hold true for the new facility. While this
may be true for the existing facility due to its proximity to Southcenter,
the number on a daily basis is likely to be negligible and even more so for
the new facility due to the distance from Southcenter and the lack of a
weather- protected and traffic -safe pedestrian system.
10. While the Parking Variance Proposal on Page 29 depicts the City of Seattle
code requirements for hotels compared to Tukwila's TMC requirements, fac-
tors other than those indicated within the application contribute greatly
to the final ratios inherent in the Seattle code requirements.
A. On- street Parking: Seattle has considerable on- street parking while
Tukwila allows no on- street parking.
B. Off- street Parking: Parking garages, exclusive of other uses, are a
principal use of property in downtwon Seattle. The difference between
the Seattle and Tukwila land markets being what they are, such is not
the case in Tukwila. •
C. Non - Driving Guests: Seattle's code ratio as depicted in the application
breaks down to 1 parking space per 4 rooms or only 25% of the Tukwila
code requirement. Although the ratio of airport arrivals as hotel
guests is likely to be similar, the fact that Tukwila is suburban and
the proposed facility is located within 4 mile of one of the largest
interstate freeway interchanges in the state indicates the actual
number of vehicle- driving hotel guests is likely to be greater than
that found in Seattle hotels.
11. The applicant 'plans to construct the complex in two phases; Phase I including
the 7 -story hotel, the freestanding restaurant, and 500 associated parking
spaces while Phase II will consist of the 4 -story hotel.
12. The applicant requests that the variance be granted for a period of five
(5) years to allow the planned Phase construction.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The nebulous character of the requirement of Section 18.20.070 to provide
"adequate" parking space for "eating, banquet and entertainment" facilities
is certainly open to interpretation on a case by case basis. Staff's appli-
cation of Sections 18.56.110 and 18.56.120 in conjunction with the Uniform
Building Code 'floor area per person' (Exhibit A) is an attempt to apply
meaningful and measurable parking requirements to this particular use in
the TNIC's absence of such precise restrictions. At the same tire, Staff
recognizes that certain use peculiarities may render the applied restrictions
either lacking or unnecessarily burdensome.
2. In consideration of the "Eat and Meet" situation depicted by the application,
the TMC parking ratio of 1 space /75 square feet should be reduced to 1 space/
150 square feet. This ratio essentially recognizes the fact that banquet
Board of Adjustment --..=-
Staff Report
Page 4
1 September 1977
patrons use twice the amount of floor space than indicated by the Uniform
Building Code due to the fact they "meet" in one banquet room and retire
to another banquet room to "eat ".
3. Multiple use of different use areas within the hotel is an unquestioned
factor and must be recognized in any reasonable assessment of actual
parking demand. To do so, the TMC parking requirement for eating and enter-
tainment areas within the motel should be reduced by 25%. This corresponds
to the smallest recorded percentage of hotel guests as users of such areas.
4. While the proximity to SeaTac Airport plays an important role in the
applicant's asserted need for parking, the claim that only 1 in every 3
rooms requires a parking space is far too low in consideration of the
factors listed under Finding #10. Moreover, the TMC is quite specific
in requiring one space per room. Were the TMC requirement reduced to .75
spaces per room, this factor is recognized while providing for the fre-
quent peak parking demand.
5. Since this analysis is aimed at providing for necessary parking, the number
of employees must be addressed. As a typical provision, the complex should
include 1 parking space for each of the 45 employees.
6. In consideration of the critieria outlined in Section 18.72.010, the following
respective conclusions are drawn:
A. The variance shall not consttitute a grant of special privilege incon-
sistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity
and in the zone in which the property on behalf of which the application
was filed is located;
CONCLUSION: - 'Insofar as the Board is authorized to vary any of the parking
requirements based on the particular use and, in the case of Section 18.20.070
is obligated to weight all factors to determine a reasonable parking require-
ment for hotels /motels, the granting of a variance will not constitute a grant
of special privelege.
B. That such variance is necessary because cf special circumstances relating
to the size, shape, topography, location or surrounding of the subject
property, to provide it with use rights and privileges permitted to.other
properties in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject property
is located;
CONCLUSION: The special circumstances are not physical in nature but,
rather, are use peculiarities which can be measured as proven in the
application and this report's findings. Since most other uses are grouped
by nature (such as commercial or industrial) and common or typical parking
needs are readily identifiable, the multiple -use and proximity to airport
factors are peculiar to this particular use and require consideration and
proportionate adjustment to ensure consistent property use rights.
C. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the
actions of the applicant;
CONCLUSION: Multiple use of complementary use areas and the proximity
Board of Adjustment - Page 5
1 September 1977
Staff Report
of SeaTac Airport are, as identified throughout this Report, special
circumstances peculiar to this particular.use which are not due to
actions of the applicant.
D. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in
the vicinity and in•the zone in which the subject property is situated;
CONCLUSION: The provision of adequate on -site parking is of primary concern
in Tukwila since the City prohibits on- street parking to promote public safety
Hence, a variance from the parkins requirements must not reduce the parking
requirement below that which is reasonably determined to be necessary. Moreove
people will park their vehicle on neighboring parcels if adequate parking is
not provided on -site; thus resulting in a certain degree of injury to neigh-
boring properties. In summary, a variance which insures adequate parking
is. provided will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to surrounding properties.
E. The authorization of such variance will not adversely affect the implemen-
tation of the comprehensive land use plan;
CONCLUSION: The existing Comprehensive Plan contains no policies but, rather,
consists of a graphic representation of land use categories and their distri-
bution throughout the City. As such, the variance will not adversely affect
implementation of the existing Plan. The proposed Comprehensive Plan contains
policies which promote provision of adequate on -site parking.
F. That the granting of such a variance is necessary for the preservation an
enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by
the owners of other properties in the same zone or vicinity.
CONCLUSION: This property can certainly be developed to other uses more
similar to existing use of the surrounding land area. The right to fully
utilize a parcel of land within adherence to lawful restrictions, however,
is a substantial property right which should be enjoyed by all and uses.
The peculiarities inherent in the proposed use are not precisely addressed
by the TMC parking requirements. Therefore, a variance is necessary as a
vehicle by which to arrive at reasonable parking provisions in order to
ensure the fullest use of the property within lawful restrictions.
SUMMARY
In the absence of reasonably precise parking requirements for this particular type
of land use, the variance is a necesary tool in this instance to arrive at reason-
able parking requirements with respect to particular use characteristics which are
peculiar to this type of complex. Based on the Parking_Variance Proposal and the
Findings and Conclusions contained in this Report, theliFFing breakdown is con-
cluded to be a reasonable minimum requirement for on -site parking which respects
the particular use characteristics.

Purposely excluded from this breakdown is the freestanding restaurant proposed
as a part of the ultimate complex. It is excluded due to its individual nature
and negligible intra -hotel multiple use. Although it is reasonable to assume
some of this restaurant's patrons will walk from the hotel, the actual number
is believed to be negligible and, in fact, the bulk of the patrons will arrive
by car from origins other than the hotel. Hence, the 1 space /5 persons is deemed'
to be the minimum number of spaces necessary to .service the separate restaurant
facility, resulting in the requirement of 75 parking spaces.

RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the Findings and Conclusions in this Report as substantiated by the
Parking Variance Proposal, Staff recommends the variance from Section 18.20.070
be granted with the following stipulations:
1. Development of Phase I, to include the 7 -story hotel /restaurant building
and the freestanding restaurant, shall include a minimum of 500 parking •
spaces.
2. This variance shall be in effect only as long as the principal use of the
property remains a hotel /convention facility and reflects multiple use.
3. Construction of Phase II must be reasonably initiated within five (5) years
or said development shall provide parking in compliance with Section 18.20.070
(TMC).
