While draft legislation was being developed to address commercial vehicle parking, other parking - related items were identified as needing an update as well. This draft ordinance proposes to re- enact Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 9.20, Parking Regulations, and amends certain other sections accordingly. General parking regulations, such as the 72 hour time limit on City streets, the requirement to clear 5 feet at driveways, and the need to leave at least 10 feet of roadway width are left intact. Significant changes between current code and the proposed ordinance are summarized below. DISCUSSION New definitions Definitions of vehicles by class /weight are included. Classes are based upon gross vehicle weight rating and used by the Federal Highway Administration and other regulatory agencies Infractions Language pertaining to infractions and impoundment is removed from each individual section and covered in one section — "Penalties and impound procedures." Municipal parking Parking on municipal property without authority or permission is limited to six hours. "Authority or permission" covers those who are parking for a municipal meeting or function. Parks and trails and electric vehicles Amendments in these subsections are minor wording edits for clarification. Parking for maintenance The word maintenance is inserted in place of the word greasing and the prohibition on display of a vehicle for sale is removed. 3 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 Large vehicles, trailers, and recreational vehicles The current TMC 9.28.020, "Commercial Vehicles in Residential Areas," prohibits parking of commercial trucks on city right -of -way in residential zones, and is considered difficult to enforce by both police and code enforcement officers. It partly defines commercial vehicles as being larger than 8 feet wide, longer than 20 feet, or taller than 9 feet and so officers must be able to identify qualifying vehicles by these measurements as well as quickly establish the zone in question. The draft ordinance proposes to: • Remove this regulation from Chapter 9.28, "Miscellaneous Regulations" and include it with the other parking related laws in Chapter 9.20. • Strike the word "commercial," instead referring to vehicles Class 5 and above, or those over 16,001 pounds. • Prohibit parking of vehicles Class 5 and above, and trailers, from city right -of -way in all zones. • Prohibit parking of recreational vehicles in non - residential zones in the city. • Retain the loading and unloading exemption and adds a construction or utility project exemption. Class 3 and Class 4 vehicles in residential zones This is a new section that prohibits the parking of Class 3 and Class 4 vehicles (between 10,000 and 16,000 pounds) in residential zones, with the exception of large pick -up trucks falling within the Class 3 rating. Recreational vehicles and trailers in residential zones This is a new section that allows recreational vehicles and trailers on city streets in residential zones for up to 24 hours. Currently, recreational vehicle parking is disallowed in all zones on city right -of -way. Penalties and impound procedures This section has been rewritten to address state requirements and current practices in impound procedures. Occupancy of recreational vehicles as dwelling unit The definition of recreational vehicle has been expanded to include fifth -wheel trailer, and omits the prohibition on parking in all public right -of -way. FINANCIAL IMPACT None. RECOMMENDATION Committee discussion on the draft ordinance with a recommendation to the Committee of the Whole on October 26, 2015 and the subsequent Regular Meeting on November 2, 2015.

PRESENTATIONS II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. Ordinance: Vehicle Parking on Residential Properties Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would amend Tukwila Municipal Code 8.2.5.020, Parking Limitations, to establish a limit on the number of vehicles allowed to be parked on a single family residential property. Currently there is no limit, although the code does require that all vehicles be parked on approved durable uniform surfaces to a maximum of 12,000 feet or 10% of the lot surface, whichever is greater. The proposal would exempt motorcycles and mopeds, and include RVs, boats and trailers. Committee members agreed that the purpose for this regulation would be to improve the look of neighborhoods, and that it makes sense to establish a limit as many other cities in King County have done. Following discussion and clarifying questions, the Committee decided to recommend a limit of six vehicles on residential properties for Committee of the Whole consideration. Additional language addressing different standards for certain acreage, a provision that the prohibition would only apply to those vehicles visible from the street, and a correlation to the number of licensed drivers in a household were also discussed. The Committee did not recommend those items at this time. The Committee also spoke to a concern that this limitation would push more vehicles out to City streets. The Council may wish to discuss a permit program in the future. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 26, 2015 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. B. Ordinance: Parking Regulations Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would reenact Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 9.20, Parking Regulations, and amend certain other sections accordingly. While draft legislation was being developed to address commercial vehicle parking, other parking - related items were identified for an update, and this ordinance captures several proposed amendments to parking - related code as outlined in the informational memo. Committee members asked clarifying questions and expressed support for the draft ordinance as presented. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 26, 2015 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
