SUBJECT: Updating Regulations for Vehicle Parking on Residential Properties
ISSUE
This draft ordinance relating to parking limitations on residential properties passed out of
Committee on October, with a recommendation to approve, and was referred back by the
Council President and Committee Chair based upon public comment received at the October 19
Regular Meeting. The Committee again reviewed the draft ordinance on November 9 and
requested it return with the modifications described below.
BACKGROUND
Tukwila Municipal Code 8.25.020, Parking Limitations, currently requires that vehicles must be
parked on approved durable uniform surfaces, and limits the overall size of the improved
surface, but does not set a limit on the total number of cars. Councilmembers and Code
Enforcement staff receive community feedback that indicates a limitation is desired. In 2014-
2015, Council has given consistent direction to enhance the Code Enforcement division in
alignment with City strategic goals toward a positive community identify and an increasing
priority focus on neighborhoods. A regulation of this nature would give another tool to Code
Enforcement staff to help address some of the community's concerns about neighborhood
appearance.
Below is a sample of some other cities' vehicle limitation on residential properties. Some cities
specify that all vehicles must be licensed and many exclude motorcycles and mopeds from this
requirement.

property, outside of a garage or carport. "Vehicles" includes RVs, boats /trailers, and the like,
but does not include motorcycles or mopeds.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
DISCUSSION
From a code enforcement standpoint it would be much easier to determine and verify a violation
by number of vehicles rather than by measuring the size of a parking area. A regulation of this
type can also be more easily understood by residents.
On October 19 the Community Affairs and Parks Committee recommended a limitation of six
vehicles be inserted into the draft ordinance as follows:
"G. No more than six motor vehicles, not including motorcycles or mopeds, shall be parked on a
single family residential lot outside of a carport or enclosed garage."
At its November 9 meeting the Committee requested the draft ordinance be amended to
differentiate properties of greater than or less than 13.000 square feet, recognizing that one
standard may not be appropriate for all types of properties. The attached draft includes
proposed language to address this. Note that TMC 8.25.020(D), requiring that "approved
durable uniform surfaces outside of structures on -site may cover a maximum of 1,200 square
feet or 10% of the lot surface whichever is greater " remains applicable to all residential
properties so will cover those above 13,000 square feet. The restriction of six vehicles will apply
to properties below 13,000 square feet. A copy of the current code is attached for context.

CHAPTER 8.25
VEHICLE STORAGE AND PARKING O
SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY
Sections:
8.25.010 Definitions
8.25.020 Parking Limitations
.__l1 M M
"Approved Durable Uniform Surface" is a durable uniform
surface approved for the storage of vehicles by the City of
Tukwila, and should consist of one of the following:
1. Two inches of 5/8 minus compacted rock,
provided mud or other fine material do not work their way to
the surface of the rock. Alternate sized minus compacted rock
may be used upon approval by the City; or
2. Concrete (4" Portland cement concrete) over
gravel section as described in Section 8.25.010; or
3. Blacktop (2" asphalt concrete pavement) over
gravel section as described in Section 8.25.010; or
4. Any other configuration of materials, approved by
the City, that maintains a durable uniform surface.
(Orel. 20,56§ 1 ��� �r �1, 2304)
8250 Parking Lirnitabons.
A. The requirements of TMC Chapter 8.25 apply to the
storage and parking of vehicles on properties devoted to
single - family residential use.
B. Motor vehicles on property devoted to single - family
residential use shall be parked on an approved durable
uniform surface. Motor vehicles, other than those specified in
TMC 8.25.020C, shall not be parked in setbacks except in front
yard or side street setbacks when in a driveway that provides
access to an approved parking location and is in conformance
with TMC Title 18, as that title currently exists or as it may be
subsequently amended. Parking in the rear setback of a single
family -home is permitted where the parking is connected to a
rear alley.
C. Recreational vehicles, boats or trailers shall be
parked, kept or stored on an approved durable uniform surface
and shall not be parked, kept or stored in required front yard
setbacks, except for a driveway. Recreational vehicle parking
in the side or rear yard setbacks is allowed, provided no
recreational vehicle is parked so as to prevent access by
emergency responders to all sides of a structure.
D. Approved durable uniform surfaces outside of
structures on -site may cover a maximum of 1,200 square feet
or 10% of the lot surface, whichever is greater. The Director of
Community Development may approve exceptions to this
requirement for an access driveway, particularly on lots where
there is a need for a long driveway.
Page 8 -24
E. No more than 50% of the front yard or 800 square
feet, whichever is smaller, may be approved durable uniform
surface. An approved durable uniform surface exceeding this
requirement prior to August 25, 2004 may be maintained, but
shall not be expanded. The Director of Community
Development may approve exceptions to this requirement for
an access driveway, particularly on pie- shaped or other odd
shaped lots where it is infeasible to meet this requirement.
F. Single- family properties on pre- existing, legal lots of
record containing less than 6,500 square feet are exempt from
the percentages noted in TMC Section 8.25.020,
subparagraphs D and E.

Councilmembers: Verna Seal, Chair; Dennis Robertson, Kate Kruller (Absent: Allan Ekberg)
Staff: David Cline, Jack Pace, Kathy Stetson, Bob Giberson, Laurel Humphrey
CALL TO ORDER: Chair Seal called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m
I. 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

the Committee of the Whole on October 26, which asked for additional committee discussion on
the question of recreational vehicles parked on right of way in residential zones. Currently
disallowed, this draft ordinance would allow them up to 24 hours. The Committee discussed this
and did not recommend a change to this proposal. The Committee asked staff to return with the
following:
• Additional information about sufficient public notice tied to the ordinance's effective
date.
• An amendment to Section 7, pertaining to "Municipal Parks and Trails," to change
the reference to 24 hours to 6 hours, making it consistent with the section just
above.

Community Affairs & Parks Committee Minutes November 9, 2015 - Pape 2
The Committee, staff and guests discussed the proposal, with Councilmembers asserting
continued support for a vehicle limitation toward the goal of improving the appearance of
neighborhoods. Code Enforcement staff noted that this proposal will make investigation of
complaints much easier. The Committee requested staff return with the following:
• Addition of a time period of 48 hours to clarify that social gatherings or temporary
guests will not make a property noncompliant.
• Addition of language differentiating lots under and over 13,000 square feet, with
lots under that amount being subject to the number limitation and lots over that
amount subject to the existing code that specifies vehicle storage on durable
uniform surface no greater than 10% of the lot surface.

D. Travelers Choice Motel
At its September 28, 2015 meeting, the Community Affairs and Parks Committee directed staff to
work with 4Culture on a specific proposal and draft lease agreement regarding art- related uses at
the Travelers Choice Motel building. While the draft lease is not ready, staff briefed the Committee
on the proposed terms of the agreement. The 4Culture board met on Octobober 28, 2015,
expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, and are expected to vote on December 2. Meanwhile
the City will be awarding a demolition bid for the motel properties that may or may not include the
Travelers Choice, pending the decisions of the 4Culture Board and the City Council. The
Committee of the Whole will be discussing this later tonight and may choose to wait until December
7 to award the demolition bid to accommodate this timing. INFORMATION ONLY.
