DATE: February 2, 2015
SUBJECT: Display of Street Banners
ISSUE
Amending Title 19 "Sign Code" of the Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) to permit the display of
street banners to promote events and festivals within the City.
BACKGROUND
Many cities use street banners to advertise and promote city events. The banners can be
divided into two categories.
The first are light pole and utility pole banners, the type that the City used as part of its
centennial. Figure 1 below is a representation of a typical light pole street banners.

A second type of banner are street width banners that extend above and across a roadway and
advertise specific events. Figure 2 shows a typical street width banner.

■
Figure 2: Street Width Banner.
As part of the City's centennial the City installed light pole banners throughout the Southcenter
area, West Valley Highway and Tukwila International Blvd. The City's sign code at the time had
a very broad exemption that permitted the Public Works Director to approve such signs. In 2010
the City adopted a new sign code and the exemptions for signs permitted in the right of way is
narrow. In order to accommodate these banners the City needs to make a minor amendment to
the Sign Code, Title 19.
Many cities use banners in their downtown areas to promote events and activities, both private
and public events. These events are either tied to community building or promoting tourism
within the City.
Last year the Sounders announced that its 2nd team will begin playing its inaugural season this
spring, with all of the home games being played at Starfire. The Sounders have already sold
1,500 season tickets it's likely that the games at Starfire will be sold out. Economic
Development has been working with the Sounders to create "fan hotspots" at restaurants and
hotels where fans can hang out before and after the games. The City's retail sales tax and
lodging tax will likely see a positive impact from the Sounder's games.
Economic Development would like to install the first round of light pole banners to promote the
Sounders games at Starfire. These light pole banners would be similar to the light pole banners
installed by the City of Renton to promote the Seahawks. Cost of the banners, which is about
$100 each, including installation, would be paid by the City's Lodging Tax funds and the City
would also look for private contributions to install the banners. The first round of banners will be
installed in key access routes to and from Starfire.
In the future, banners, both the light pole banners and the street width banners could be used to
promote a wide variety of events and activities. These could include Parks and Recreation
events (Touch a Truck, Family Fourth at the Fort, etc), holiday shopping activities, and other
events that draw tourist from outside the City.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO

DISCUSSION
In order to permit street banners to be installed an exception to TMC 19.12.030 needs to be
added. Staff proposes that the following language be added:
"Banners within the City's right of way, located on light poles, street light signal poles,
and hanging above the right of way when approved by the Director of Public Works or
designee"
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None. Adopting the language that creates an exception in the TMC does not create a financial
impact nor does it create an obligation for the City to install the banners. In the future, staff
intends to request that the City Council authorize the use of lodging tax funds to allow the
installation of street pole banners.
RECOMMENDATION
Forward to the February 23, 2015 Committee of the Whole meeting for discussion. Adoption of
the Ordinance could occur at the March 2, 2015 regular council meeting.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Golf Cart Purchase — Foster Golf Links
Staff is seeking Council approval to purchase 13 new EZ -GO TXT golf carts for a total of
$63,557.00, thus expanding the total fleet to 71 carts. Foster Golf Links (FGL) averages over
14,000 power cart rentals per year with average annual revenue over $169,000. Expansion
of the fleet is needed because between May 15 and September 15, 2014, there was a cart
shortage for 86 of 124 days. FGL's operating budget includes a cart replacement plan so that
expenditures will be balanced evenly and eventually the entire fleet will be EZ -GO, resulting in
streamlined maintenance and transferability of parts. The purchase will be made under the
National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (NIPA) and the sales tax is waived because
the carts are rented back to the public. Because of the six -year lifespan of the carts, it is
expected that rental fees will pay back the cost within the first few years, turning to profit
thereafter even when factoring in gas, maintenance and storage. APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO FEBRUARY 17, 2015 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
B. Ordinance: Amending Tukwila Municipal Code Section 19.12.030
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would amend Tukwila Municipal Code
Section 19.12.030 (Exceptions — Sign Permits Not Required) to allow the Public Works
Director to approve banners within the right -of -way, on City -owned light poles and signal
poles, or hanging above the right -of -way. This will allow the City to use street banners to
advertise and promote events in pursuit of building community and /or promoting tourism. Staff
is currently working with the Sounders on promotional opportunities for its 2nd team, Sounders
2, which is premiering this Spring. Staff would like to install the first round of light pole
banners to promote these games and intends to pursue funding from the City's lodging tax in
combination with private donors. The City previously used light pole banners as part of the
City's centennial celebration but when the sign code was revised in 2010 this exception was
eliminated. If approved, this amendment would once again allow this opportunity.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 23 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.

Transportation Committee
FROM: Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator c5
DATE: February 13, 2015
SUBJECT: TMC 11.12.030 Street Frontage Improvements
Ordinance Amendment
ISSUE
The Council is being asked to provide flexibility in the timing of developer payments for street
frontage improvements.
BACKGROUND
Tukwila Municipal Code Section 11.12.030 requires developers to install street frontage
improvements prior to receiving a certificate of occupancy. This TMC section also authorizes the
Public Works Director to allow the developer to pay the City for the improvements in lieu of
constructing the improvements themselves. In that situation, the TMC specifies that the
payment must be made before the City issues a building permit to the developer.
DISCUSSION
In some situations, it may be in the City's interest to allow the developer to make payments for
the street frontage improvements after the City has issued a building permit. For example, the
City is designing and will construct improvements to South 144th Street between Tukwila
International Boulevard and 42nd Avenue South. The Tukwila Village developer (TVDA) and
King County Library System (KCLS) will pay toward the S 144th St street improvements. It is
very likely that TVDA and KCLS will want to pull building permits well before the City is ready to
start construction of the street improvements. It does not seem reasonable to require the
developer payments far in advance of when the City starts street improvement construction.
The Ordinance attached includes the proposed revisions to TMC 11.12.030.
FISCAL IMPACT
This item has no budget impact to the City.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to amend Ordinance No. 1995 setting required improvements for
new buildings and developments and consider this item at the February 23, 2015 Committee of
the Whole meeting and subsequent March 2, 2015 Regular Meeting.

or to provide a payment -in -lieu; and
WHEREAS, in some instances it may be in the City's best interest to allow the

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE. CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

B. Complete street frontage improvements shall be installed along the entire
frontage of the property at the sole cost of the permittee as directed by the Director.
Street frontage improvements may include curb, gutter, sidewalk, storm drainage, street
lighting, traffic signal equipment, utility installation or relocation, landscaping strip, street
trees and landscaping, irrigation, street widening, and channelization. Beyond the
property frontage, the permittee shall provide ramps from the new sidewalk or walkway
to the existing shoulder, and pavement and channelization tapering back to the existing
pavement and channelization as needed for safety.
C. When (due to site topography, city plans for improvement projects, or other
similar reasons) the Director determines that street frontage improvements cannot or
should not be constructed at the time of building construction, the property owner shall,
prior to issuance of the building permit, at the direction and discretion of the Director:
1. Enter into an agreement to Ppay to the City an amount equal to the
property owner's cost of installing the required improvements. At the direction and
discretion of the Director, the property owner shall be required to provide a bond or
other financial security for its payment obligation.
The property owner shall provide documentation satisfactory to the Director that
establishes the cost of the materials, labor, and quantities; or
2. Record an agreement which provides for these improvements to be
installed by the property owner by a date acceptable to the Director; or
3. Record an agreement to not protest a local improvement district to improve
the street frontage.
D. If, at a time subsequent to the issuance of a building permit, a local
improvement district is established that includes the property for which the building
permit was issued, the property may be considered in the compilation of the local
improvement district assessment with the appropriate amount of costs of construction
expended by the developer.
E. The Director under either of the following conditions may waive the requirement
for installation of frontage improvements:
1. If adjacent street frontage improvements are unlikely to be installed in the
foreseeable future; or
2. If the installation of the required improvement would cause significant
adverse environmental impacts.
Section 2. Corrections by City Clerk or Code Reviser. Upon approval of the
City Attorney, the City Clerk and the code reviser are authorized to make necessary
corrections to this ordinance, including the correction of clerical errors; references to
other local, state or federal laws, codes, rules, or regulations; or ordinance numbering
and section /subsection numbering.

to issuance of a building permit. The proposed ordinance would allow a developer to enter
into an agreement with the City regarding these payments, subject to the approval of the Public
Works Director, and to provide a bond or other security for this obligation. Staff believes there
are certain developments where it is unreasonable to require payment far in advance of when
the City is ready to begin street construction, and this code amendment will allow that flexibility
when appropriate. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 23, 2015
