FROM: Jack Pace, Director Department of Community Development
BY: Minnie Dhaliwal, Planning Supervisor
DATE: February 18, 2015
SUBJECT: Development Agreement for the proposed hotel at 90 Andover Park East.
ISSUE
Should the City Council approve the Development Agreement for the proposed hotel
development at 90 Andover Park East; allowing the shared use of parking in the right -of -way of
Christensen Road?
BACKGROUND
Tukwila TSD LLC is proposing to develop a new five story hotel at 90 Andover Park East with
approximately 90 guest rooms. One parking space per room is required for lodging uses in the
Tukwila Urban Center Transit Oriented Development District. The developer has submitted a
site plan showing that the required number of parking stalls cannot be accommodated on the
project site. Therefore the developer is proposing shared use of parking and drive aisle area in
the right -of -way of Christensen Road.
TMC 18.06 allows the City to use development agreements to provide flexibility to achieve
public benefits, respond to changing community needs, or encourage modifications that provide
the functional equivalent or adequately achieve the purposes of otherwise applicable City
standards.
This item was previously discussed by the Community Affairs Committee on November 12,
2014; Committee of the Whole held a public hearing on November 24, 2014 and it was referred
back to the Community Affairs and Parks Committee on December 1, 2014. See attached
memo for the information that was provided to the City Council previously on this item
(Attachment A). Additionally, the Parks Commission was briefed on the pocket park proposal on
January 21, 2015, and the minutes of the meeting are attached (Attachment B).
DISCUSSION
City Council asked staff to provide information on how the proposal complies with the City's
shoreline regulations and asked the Community Affairs and Parks Committee to further review
the proposal and make a recommendation to the Committee of the Whole. Additionally since the
last City Council meeting the developer has come back with a couple of additional options for
the City to consider, which are also attached.
115
INFORMATIONAL- MEMO
Page 2
In order to help facilitate decision making on this proposal it may be easier to break down the
discussion into following issues:
1. Does the proposal comply with the city's shoreline regulations?
2. Does the city want to allow use of public right -of -way for shared parking for the hotel?
3. How many parking spaces should be shared between the hotel and trail users and how
many should be guaranteed for the trail users?
4. What is the appropriate compensation for sharing parking in the right -of -way?
1. Does the proposal comply with the city's shoreline regulations?
This area of the shoreline is designated as Urban Conservancy and the shoreline buffer ends
on the river side of the existing roadway (Christensen Road). The conceptual site plan showing
the hotel location and other site improvements meets the shoreline use, site setback and site
configuration requirements. Detailed review of the construction plans will be done during the
shoreline substantial development permit review process, which is an administrative decision
issued after public notification to the interested agencies and surrounding property owners. The
staff report of the shoreline permit is then sent to Department of Ecology for their review. See
attached handout explaining the shoreline review process and code criteria along with the map
showing the shoreline buffer (Attachment C).
2. Does the city want to allow use of public right -of -way for shared parking for the
hotel?
The existing site is a former gas station. The fuel canopy and the underground tanks were
removed in 2007. In 2008, land use approval was granted for a 12,000 sq. ft. single story retail
building that was never constructed. The existing lot is only 50,000 sq. ft. and without the shared
parking agreement the likely form of development to occur on this site is single story. The
current proposal to share the parking in the right -of -way would allow a five story hotel to be
constructed. This form of development fits in with the vision anticipated by the Southcenter
Subarea Plan for this area. The previous memo to the City Council (Attachment A) listed the
goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Southcenter Subarea Plan that are
achieved by the City entering into this development agreement.
The proposal includes:
• Shared use of parking in the right -of -way.
• initial term of 50 years with an option to extend for 30 additional years
• The agreement shall terminate if any of the following terms are not met:
a) The applicant fails to submit a complete building permit application for the
construction of the hotel within one year; or if the construction is not completed within
three years; or if the developer does not comply with maintenance obligations;
b) if the property is redeveloped or a change of use occurs;
c) If WSDOT widens 1-405 or should any other project or condition arise that requires
reconfiguration of Tukwila Parkway and/or the Project parking area;
d) If the developer abandons the project;
e) The developer shall renegotiate a new agreement or provide documentation showing
how the number of parking spaces required by code will be provided if the hotel use
is to continue after the expiration of the agreement.
116
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 3
3. How many parking spaces should be shared and how many should be
guaranteed for the trail users?
Tukwila Municipal Code requires one parking space per hotel room. The developer has stated
that the franchise requires one parking space per hotel room plus two additional spaces.
Per Smith Travel Research Report for hotels In Tukwila's general market, the occupancy rate for
year 2014 varied from 80 to 90 percent during the high season (May through September) with
December /January being the lowest around 60 percent; for an average annual room occupancy
of 77 percent.
The proposed hotel has 53 on -site parking spaces (hotel use only) and would like to share 45
parking spaces within the right -of -way (hotel and trail users). There are currently only 27 parking
spaces in the right -of -way and the developer has proposed to add 18 new parking spaces within
the undeveloped right -of -way; resulting in 45 spaces in the right -of -way. 41 out of 45 spaces wile
be shared between the hotel users and trail users and four spaces will be reserved exclusively
for trail users. This allows four guaranteed spaces for the trail users but they could also park
anywhere on the remaining 41 spaces.
There is currently no data on the number of spaces used by trail users. However it can be
stated that hotel parking spaces are expected to be used primarily in the evening and night time
hours and parking for the trail access is expected to be used during day light hours.
The proposed hotel has only a small meeting room and no restaurant, therefore the parking
demand is anticipated to be less than a hotel with a large meeting room /convention facility. The
developer has also provided parking data for the hotels currently operated by them showing that
the parking demand is less than one car per occupied room (Attachment D).
4. What is the appropriate compensation for sharing parking in the right -of -way?
Since the last meeting the developer has come back with the following options for the City to
consider as appropriate compensation for allowing shared use of parking:
Option 1: Develop and maintain a public pocket park within the existing cul -de -sac with $10,000
payment to the City.
Option 2: Replace the asphalt in the cul -de -sac area with landscaping along with a monetary
payment of $93,849 to the City.
Option 3: Convert the cul -de -sac into parking area with a monetary payment of $145,897 to the
City.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The land is valued at $25 per square feet. The right of way area is 17,103 square feet with a
land value of $427,575. The developer had previously provided a cost estimate of $186,037 for
the development of the pocket park. All three options listed above cost the developer $186,037.
Additionally the developer has estimated about $6000 per year in maintenance costs. There is
no negative financial impact to the city under any of the three options.
City Council may want to decide what could be done with the monetary payment. This decision
could occur separate from the development agreement process. Some options for the City
Council to consider are:
• Put the money the city's tree mitigation fund
• Establish a shoreline restoration fund
• Designate the money towards another project in the Urban Center such as Tukwila Pond
or pedestrian bridge project.
118
INFORMATIONAL MEMO

• Designate the money towards any other project on the City's Capital improvement
Program list
• Put the money in the City's general fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the city enter into the development agreement to share the parking in the
right -of -way in order to facilitate the hotel development. Regarding the decision on the
appropriate compensation for the shared use of right -of -way staff recommends option 2. Under
this option the city will get a monetary payment of $93,849, impervious surface in the shoreline
zone is reduced and the city still retains the opportunity to put in a pocket park at a future date.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Committee of the Whole
FROM Jack Pace, Director Department of Community Development
BY: Minnie Dhaliwal, Planning Supervisor
DATE: November 18, 2014 (Revised after Community Affairs and Parks Committee
meeting on November 12, 2014)
SUBJECT: Development Agreement for the proposed hotel at 90 Andover Park East.
ISSUE
Should the City Council approve the proposed Development Agreement for the proposed hotel
development at 90 Andover Park East that would allow the shared use of parking in the right -of-
way of Christensen Road in exchange for the construction of a public pocket park?
BACKGROUND
Tukwila TSD LLC is proposing to develop a new five story hotel at 90 Andover Park East with
approximately 90 guest rooms. One parking space per room is required for lodging uses in the
Tukwila Urban Center Transit Oriented Development District. The developer has submitted a
site plan showing that only 53 parking spaces can be accommodated on the project site
Therefore the developer is proposing shared use of parking and drive aisle area in the right-of-
way of Christensen Road in exchange for developing a public pocket park in the cul -de sac area
of Christensen Road.
TMC 18.86 allows the City to use development agreements to provide flexibility to achieve
public benefits, respond to changing community needs, or encourage modifications which
provide the functional equivalent or adequately achieve the purposes of otherwise applicable
City standards.
DISCUSSION
The proposal reviewed by the Community Affairs and Parks Committee included:
• Shared use of parking and drive aisle area in the right -of -way of Christensen Road, with
18 new parking spaces added by the developer within the undeveloped right -of -way area
adjacent to the hotel site. The developer would also reconfigure the existing spaces to
increase the number of parking spaces in the right -of -way. A total of 45 parking spaces
would be available within the right -of -way; out of which 41 will be shared between the
hotel use and members of the public with four spaces exclusively reserved for non -hotel
users including those who want to access the Green River Trail.
• In exchange for the shared parking the developer shall:
a) Develop and maintain a public pocket park within the existing cul -de -sac area.
b) Maintain the park and the parking area for the term of the agreement.
c) Provide public access through the subject property to compensate for the cul -de -sac
closure.
d) Construct a pedestrian connection between the intersection of Andover Park East
and Tukwila Parkway to the pocket park and the Green River Trail.
121
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
• Initial term of 50 years with an option to extend for 30 additional years.
• The agreement shall terminate if any of the following terms are not met:
a) The applicant fails to submit a complete building permit application for the
construction of the hotel within one year; or if the construction is not completed within
three years; or if the developer does not comply with maintenance obligations for the
park and the parking areas;
b) If the property is redeveloped or a change of use occurs;
c) If WSDOT widens 1 -405 or should any other project or condition arise that requires
reconfiguration of Tukwila Parkway, the Project parking area, and /or the Pocket
Park;
d) If the developer abandons the project;
e) The developer shall renegotiate a new agreement or provide documentation showing
how the number of parking spaces required by code will be provided if the hotel use
is to continue after the expiration of the agreement.
This proposal furthers the following goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan and the
Southcenter Subarea Plan:
• The .Southcenter Subarea Plan envisions that parking will be accommodated by a
combination of off- and on- street parking spaces /lots and shared parking facilities within
the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Neighborhood.
The Southcenter Element of Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan includes policy 12.2.1 to
"Recognize, protect and enhance the open space network by augmenting existing parks,
enhancing access to passive and active recreation areas such as Tukwila Pond, Minkler
Pond and the Green River...."
• The implementation strategies for policy 10.2.1 of the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan
includes, "Look for opportunities for pocket park development" and "Seek opportunities
for public /private partnerships ".
• Uses that provide public access and public recreation are prioritized in the Urban
Conservancy Environment in the Shoreline Element of the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan.
The pocket park and shared parking are considered mutually beneficial to the City and the
developer for the following reasons:
• There are currently only 27 parking spaces in the right of -way area and the proposal will
provide 45 parking spaces.
• Hotel parking spaces are expected to be used primarily in the evening and night time
hours and parking for the trail access is expected to be used during day light hours.
• The pocket park will complement the Green River Trail.
• The proposal facilitates higher intensity development that is envisioned by the
Comprehensive Plan for this area.
• The cost of construction and maintenance of the pocket park and the parking spaces will
be paid for bylhe developer in exchange for the shared use of the parking.
• Members of the public and emergency vehicles will have access through the hotel
parking lot.

Alternative proposal discussed at the Community Affairs and Parks Committee:
Committee's Recommendation: At the Community Affairs and Parks Committee an
alternative that would allocate the funds specified in the development agreement for the
pocket park to go toward a tree planting project in the area of the river bank across
Christensen Road was discussed. This alternative was recommended by the Committee
as it advances the goals of regional efforts to restore aquatic ecosystems and salmon
habitat in the Green - Duwamish watershed. Under this proposal, the developer would
provide the money and the City could assume responsibility for the project, either alone
or in collaboration with a group already doing this kind of restoration work. The
Committee supported the alternative if it did not delay the agreement or add costs for the
developer. The Committee agreed to forward the item for Committee of the Whole
discussion to include the original proposal and additional analysis relating to the
alternative proposal. The Committee of the Whole would then select the preferred
option.
Staff has further reviewed the alternative proposed by the Committee with the City's
Public Works and Parks Department and listed below is their response. A map showing
the riverbank area in the general vicinity of the subject site is attached to this memo. The
total area from south of 1 -405 to the bend in the River is approximately 73,000 square
feet. The project cost for any shoreline restoration project that includes site preparation
and planting is approximately $2 per square foot.
Review of the Committee's recommendation by Bob Giberson, Public Works
Director: Following projects are underway that might preclude the quick approval of a
Green River planting plan adjacent to 90 Andover Park East along the river:
a) Green River System Wide Improvement Framework (SWIF) process will be ongoing
through early 2015. It is a US Army Corp of Engineers planning process that is being
completed by King County Flood Control District. It involves ongoing engagement
with state /federal agencies, business community, environmental community, WRIA9
and other agencies. It will include a prioritized list of capital projects to achieve flood
protection goals and vegetation management plans to address large trees and
shrubs location with respect to levees. More information about SWIF is available
online at http:!!ww v. kingcounty.gov /enviro.nment /w1r /sections - programs /.river-
floodplain-section/ capital- projects /green- river- system - wide- improvement-
framework.aspx
b) The Tukwila 205 Levee Certification effort will not be completed for at least one
year. The biggest unknown to obtain FEMA levee accreditation approval is the scope
of repairs and /or improvements. Any required repairs and /or improvements will
jeopardize any recent plantings.
c) The TUC Pedestrian /Bicycle Bridge final design may include habitat mitigation near
the bend in the river to the south of 90 Andover Park East. The design for this project
will be completed in 2015 and constructed by 2017
As an alternative option, it appears that there is sufficient contingency in the pocket park
cost estimate to allow the developer to contribute $10-,000 towards a planting plan for the
riverbank. Once a planting plan is approved by the necessary agencies, the developer's
funds can be used as a match to other available funds for a complete habitat
enhancement planting effort in this vicinity.
123
INFORMATIONAL MEMO

Review of the Committee's recommendation by Rick Still, Parks and Recreation
Director:
Background on why the pocket park is a valid proposal:
a) A system of pocket parks in the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) is vital to meeting the
recreation and social needs of the community because purchasing larger parcels in
this area is cost prohibitive at this time. The few parks currently located in TUC are
heavily used by patrons for spending time away from offices on breaks, gaining
access to the trail system, meeting people to gather and socialize, for exercise at or
to visit as a part of their exercise routine, for access while walking to the train, and to
enjoy nature while in an urban setting.
b) In 2006, staff met with a developer who introduced the concept of using the
Christensen Trail parking area as part of their development located between
Christensen Road and Andover Park East. Through discussions with this developer,
staff hired a landscape architect to initiate a site study and prepare a conceptual
design for a pocket park at the turnaround at the north end of Christensen Road.
This conceptual design was utilized with several developers throughout the past
seven years.
c) The Christensen Road pocket park provides an area on the north end of the TUC
where there currently is not a recreational opportunity for the community. The area is
easily accessed from local businesses and residential areas near City Hall. Hotel
development in this area increases the need for a park since many of the people
staying in hotels will be using the trail to access Starfire Sports at Fort Dent Park.
The park will help contribute to a more connected community and build a sense of
community pride.
Staff has looked at ways to accommodate tree planting along the Green River while
maintaining construction of the pocket park. Staff believes that with value engineering of
the pocket park the developer could reduce the construction cost to allow approximately
$10,000 for tree plantings along the Green River Trail at Christensen Road.
The Committee of the Whole has the following options:
1. Approve the development agreement as originally proposed to allow shared parking in
the right -of -way in exchange for building and maintaining a pocket park.
2. Approve the development agreement for the alternative proposed by the Community
Affairs and Parks Committee to allow shared parking in the right -of -way in exchange for
getting a monetary payment for the Green /Duwamish riverbank planting project.
3. Approve the development agreement as originally proposed with an amendment to
include $10,000 payment by the developer towards Green /Duwamish River
restoration /planting projects or to implement the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan related to Urban Forestry.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact to the City as all costs associated with the development and
maintenance of the pocket park and additional parking shall be borne by the developer. The
developer's cost estimate for the development of the pocket park and additional parking area is
$186,037. Also, the annual maintenance costs are anticipated to be $6000 per year and subject
to inflation over the term of the agreement. The land value of the right -of -area with the shared
parking is $427,575 ($25 per square foot for 17,103 square feet total area).
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 5
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to hold a public hearing on this item and select one of the options
listed above. Staff recommends approving the development agreement as originally proposed
with an amendment to include $10,000 payment by the developer for the Green/Duwamish
River restoration /planting project or to implement the goals and policies of the Comprehensive
Plan related to Urban Forestry. If the Council selects this option then Section 8 of the
Development Agreement will be revised to include a clause stating the developer shall be
responsible to make a payment of $10,000 for Green/Duwamish River restoration /planting
projects or to implement the goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan related to
Urban Forestry. This payment shall be required prior to the issuance of the building permit for
the hotel. Also, Exhibit 3 shall be amended to reflect this payment.
Staff also recommends adding two items to the 2015 work plan:
a) Review current policies regarding non - public uses in the public right -of -way.
b) Review policies /projects for restoration /planting projects of the Green /Duwamish
riverbank and how the city will implement the goals and policies of City's Comprehensive
Plan relating to Urban Forestry.

Analysis of the proposal as it relates to the regulations in the shoreline zone
State Shoreline requirements are implemented through the Shoreline Overlay District in the
Tukwila Zoning Code (Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.44). Tukwila's shoreline regulations
were updated in October, 2011 when the Department of Ecology approved the City's new
Shoreline Master Program (SMP) and implementing regulations.
If the Council decides to enter into the development agreement for the use of public right -of -way
for the hotel development, the project is still subject to obtaining approval of a Shoreline
Substantial Development Permit by the Community Development Director and Design Review
approval by the Board of Architectural Review.
What is the process for the shoreline permit?
A Shoreline Substantial Development Permit is required for the construction of a hotel at the
property located at 90 Andover Park East. The decision on this permit is made administratively
by the Director of the Department of Community Development after the expiration of a 30 day
public notice period. As part of that process, a detailed staff report that analyzes the proposal
with respect to the City's Shoreline Master Program is prepared and a decision is rendered. The
City's decision is sent to the Department of Ecology for its review. There is a 21 day appeal
period on Shoreline Substantial Development Permits and no construction may occur during that
time.
What is the shoreline environment designation around the subject site?
The shoreline environment along the west side of the Green/Duwamish river bank from I -405 to
the south city limits is Urban Conservancy. The shoreline in this area is part of the Tukwila 205
Levee.
What is the shoreline zone and shoreline buffer in this area?
The shoreline zone is the entire 200 feet from the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) of the
River. Within the 200 foot shoreline jurisdiction, there is a shoreline buffer, which in this area is
125 feet from the OHWM due to the presence of 205 levee. Also, it is important to note that if
there is a road that runs parallel to the river through the buffer, the buffer ends on the river side
of the existing improved street or roadway. See attached map that shows the shoreline buffer
around the subject site.
What uses are allowed in the shoreline buffer area?
TMC 18.44.050 lists the permitted uses in the shoreline buffer of the Urban Conservancy
environment. Parks and maintenance of existing streets and rights -of -way are permitted in the
buffer area. Additionally, any proposed project in the shoreline zone is reviewed to ensure that
the proposed use is consistent with TMC 18.44.030 - Shoreline Use Matrix and the underlying
zoning. The current proposal to build a hotel at the subject site is a permitted use outside the
shoreline buffer.
129
What other shoreline requirements will apply to the proposed project?
As part of the shoreline permit review process the proposed project will be reviewed to ensure
the following code requirements are met:
a) TMC 18.44.070 C.
i) General Standards to meet standards of the underlying zoning district.
ii) Setbacks and site configuration requirements.
iii) Height Restrictions of 15 feet within the river buffer area and 45 feet between the outside
edge of the buffer and 200 feet of the OH■M.
iv) Lighting to meet minimum lighting levels and at the same time preventing spillover on
the river channel.
v) Off street parking and loading — requirements to screen parking, loading or storage
facilities located between the river and any building.
b) TMC 18.44.080 Vegetation and Landscaping: The project will be reviewed for consistency
with the Shoreline Master Program's vegetation and landscaping requirements. Please note that
on properties located behind publicly maintained levees, an applicant is not required to remove
invasive vegetation or plant native vegetation within the river buffer. However retention of
existing trees; planting standards for interior parking lot and yard landscaping standards are
required along with specific vegetation management standards including limitations on use of
pesticides.
c) TMC 18.44.100 Public Access: The project will be reviewed for consistency with the public
access requirements. As part of the development agreement, the developer has agreed to
construct a pedestrian connection between the intersection of Andover Park East and Tukwila
Parkway to the Green River Trail.
d) Analysis of "no net loss of the ecological function" shall be done. This analysis shall take into
consideration how much vegetation currently exists within the 200 foot shoreline jurisdiction;
what is the condition of the shoreline; and how the proposed project impacts the shoreline. This
analysis takes into consideration if any fill is proposed along the shoreline; if any stormwater
will be discharged to the river; and if there is any alteration of the vegetation. If any loss of
ecological function is anticipated then the loss is mitigated through one or a combination of the
mitigation sequencing steps identified in the SMP.

RE: Proposed hotel to be located at 90 Andover Park East by Tukwila TSD LLC
Dear Ms. Dhaliwal:
We have reviewed the attached three development scenarios that include design options for
development of our proposed hotel and the adjacent parking area and /or pocket park that would
allow shared use parking in the right -of -way of Christensen Road. We are seeking approval of
one of the options so that we may finalize a Development Agreement that would allow shared
use parking in exchange for the selected option.
We want the City to select the Scenario that is best suited for their needs; however, we are of the
opinion that Option 3, which would maximize parking for the park and hotel and allow for
development of 101 spaces (53 on -site hotel spaces and 48 off -site spaces along Christensen
Road) is the best option for the City, Public, and hotel. The cost for development of this scenario
is approximately $40,140 which would include a payment of $145,897 to the City for utilization
as deemed most appropriate for the City's needs.
The second preferred option is Option 2. This Scenario would include landscaping the cul -de sac
area at the north end of Christensen Road which would allow for development of 98 spaces (53
on -site hotel spaces and 45 off -site spaces along Christensen Road). The cost of this scenario is
estimated to be $92,188 with a residual amount of $93,849 being paid to the City for utilization
as deemed most appropriate for the City's needs.
The third preferred option is Option 1. This scenario would include development of the existing
cul de sac into a pocket park as initially proposed which would allow for development of 98
spaces (53 on -site hotel spaces and 45 off -site spaces along Christensen Road). The cost of this
scenario is estimated to be $186,037 less $10,000 that will be paid to the City for use along the
Green River Shoreline or for other appropriate uses.

The proposed hotel will include 92 rooms with no restaurant and only a board room and one
small meeting room which should minimize the amount of parking required (94 spaces required
per hotel company). Most of the hotel's parking will be required during the late evening hours
with minimal parking needed during daylight hours. We have also attached a summary of three
different hotels' parking requirements at various times of the daylight hours. Based on our
experience, guests will require minimal parking during the daytime hours which should leave
more than adequate parking for the public (see the attached parking summary).
Our architect cannot finalize plans until we have approval to proceed. We have already acquired
the site and would greatly appreciate a timely decision so that we might move forward with the
preliminary design that must then be submitted to the City for review and approval before we can
get building permits.
We thank you for your assistance and look forward to expediting the Development Agreement.
Sincerely,
134
Parking Stats:
Based on the hotels we operate within King County in neighboring cities close to Tukwila and Eastern
Washington, this is an example of what we observed from the hotel parking lot.
All three hotels include one board room and one hotel also has an additional meeting room that seats 50
persons (p). None of the hotels has a restaurant. The following tables show the occupied rooms for the
day and number of cars parked at the designated hours surveyed.

I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Development Agreement for Proposed Hotel at 90 Andover Park East
Staff is seeking Council approval of a development agreement with Tukwila TSD LLC for a new
five story hotel at 90 Andover Park East with approximately 90 rooms. The development
agreement would waive the parking requirement of one space per room in lieu of a proposal for
shared parking and drive aisle area in the Christensen Road right -of -way. When this item was
originally presented to the CAP Committee in November 2014, the agreement included a
provision for the developer to develop and maintain a pocket park in the adjacent cul -de -sac in
exchange for the use of the right -of -way. On December 1, 2014 the Committee of the Whole
referred this matter back to Community Affairs and Parks with the intent for the Committee to
review additional information regarding the proposal's compliance with the Shoreline Master
Program (SMP), as well as review of the parking needs of recreational trail users. Since that
time the developer has proposed two additional options for compensation, and the Park
Commission has reviewed these as well. To organize the issues at hand, staff asked the
Committee the following questions:
1) Does the proposal comply with the City's shoreline regulations? Staff confirmed that
the conceptual site plan meets shoreline use, site setback and site configuration
requirements. Further review by the City and the Department of Ecology will occur when
the construction plans are submitted.
2) Does the City want to allow use of public right -of -way for shared parking for the
hotel? Committee members expressed support for this development and the plan to
share parking.
3) How many parking spaces should be shared and how many should be guaranteed
for trail users? Committee members and staff discussed this at length with an emphasis
on ensuring sufficient parking for trail users, including evening hours. While the current
proposal guarantees four dedicated recreational spots, trail users are allowed to use any
available spot in the shared parking area which is currently designed to have 45 spots.
Based upon current trends and experience with its other hotels, the developer believes
that parking demand will be less than one car per room, and there will be ample parking
for both guests and trail users. The Committee did not make a firm recommendation on
the number of dedicated parking spaces, but ultimately requested that if the number of
proposed hotel rooms is reduced in the final plan, that additional parking spots be
dedicated to trail use.

Community Affairs & Parks Committee Minutes February 23, 2015 - Page 2
4) What is the appropriate compensation to the City for shared parking in the right -
of -way? Since the Council last reviewed this proposal the developer has prepared the
following options:
Option 1: Develop and maintain a public pocket park in the existing cul -de -sac, with
$10,000 payment to the City.
Option 2: Replace the asphalt in the cul -de -sac area with landscaping, with a $93,849
payment to the City.
Option 3: Convert the cul -de -sac into parking area, with a $145,897 payment to the
City.
All three options cost the developer $186,037, none present a negative financial impact
to the City, and the pedestrian connection from Andover Park East is not affected in any
scenario. Staff recommends option 2 because the City will receive monetary
compensation, impervious surface in the shoreline zone is reduced, vegetation is added,
and the City retains the flexibility to construct the pocket park in the future if it desires.
The Park Commission has also been briefed on the proposal and while it is supportive of
the proposed pocket park, at its February meeting it unanimously voted to reject Option
3. The Committee discussed the merits of each, and options 2 and 3 emerged from this
discussion without full agreement. The Committee asked that a development agreement
be drafted including options 2 and 3 for Committee of the Whole discussion.
The issue of how the monetary payment to the City will be dedicated is a separate matter
requiring discussion another time. Committee members expressed preliminary support for
dedicating those funds to shoreline restoration activities on this reach of the river. COMMITTEE
DIRECTION TO FORWARD DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT INCLUDING OPTIONS 2 AND
3T0 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
B. Ordinance: Medical Cannabis Collective Gardens and Dispensaries Moratorium
Staff is seeking committee direction on the development of an ordinance relating to the
moratorium on medical cannabis collective gardens and dispensaries. The current moratorium
is set to expire on May 27, 2015, and it is still unknown whether the State Legislature will take
any action on new or clarified regulations in its current session. The Committee was asked to
choose between renewing the current moratorium or directing staff to develop a new ordinance
prohibiting medical cannabis collective gardens and dispensaries, which would then be sent to
the Planning Commission for review. If the latter, the City could choose to revisit the issue if
either the Federal or State government makes changes to the legal or regulated status of
medical cannabis. Committee members discussed the option and unanimously asked staff to
draft an ordinance that would renew the moratorium including a provision to be in effect until six
months after the close of the legislature. The separate issue of appropriate penalties for violation
of the moratorium is on the Committee work plan to be discussed at a future date after additional
research has been completed.
Regarding recreational marijuana, staff noted that no licenses have been issued by the
Washington State Liquor Control Board for recreational marijuana producers, processors or
retailers within the City. None of the 19 proposed applications meet the zoned criteria for such
uses. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD ORDINANCE TO RENEW MORATORIUM TO
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
