Basic Development Standards
A. This district implements the Low - Density Residential
Comprehensive Plan designation, which allows a maximum of
6.7 dwelling units per net acre. It is intended to provide low -
density family residential areas together with a full range of urban
infrastructure services in order to maintain stable residential
neighborhoods, and to prevent intrusions by incompatible land
uses, Certain LDR properties are identified as Commercial
Redevelopment Areas (see Figures 18 -9 or 18 -10) to encourage
aggregation with commercial properties that front on Tukwila
International Boulevard. Aggregation and commercial
redevelopment of these sites would implement the Pacific
Highway Revitalization Plan and provide opportunities to redefine
and create more uniform borders between the commercial
corridor and the adjacent residential neighborhoods.
B. Certain LDR properties are located in the Urban
Renewal Overlay (see Figure 18 -15). Existing zoning and
development standards will remain in place, although multi - family
buildings would be permitted. The overlay provides additional
alternate development standards that may be applied to
development within the Urban Renewal Overlay upon request of
the property owner, and if the development meets certain
qualifying criteria. Urban Renewal Overlay district standards
would implement the Tukwila International Boulevard
Revitalization Plan through more intensive development.

18.10,085 Design Review
Design review is required for all conditional uses,
unclassified uses, or non - residential development within the
shoreline jurisdiction that involve construction of a new building
or exterior changes if the cost of the exterior work equals or
exceeds 10% of the building's assessed valuation. Design review
is required for developments in a Commercial Redevelopment
Area that propose the uses and standards of an adjacent
commercial zone as well as development in the Urban Overlay
District.

This district implements the Public Recreation
Comprehensive Plan designation, which is intended to reserve
certain areas owned or controlled by a public or quasi - public
agency for either passive or active public recreation use. As an
overlay district, the PRO District may be combined with any other
district established by this Title, and the provisions of this chapter
shall be in addition to the provision for the underlying district.
Refer to TMC Chapter 18.09,- "Land Uses Allowed by
District."

'18.42.030 Iaasic Developrnent Standar•cl s
Development standards for the PRO District shall be as
specified by TMC Title 18 for the underlying district. However,
when the underlying district is the LDR (Low- Density Residential)
District, structures may be granted a height bonus of one
additional foot of height for every four feet of excess setback (i.e.,
setback over and above the LDR minimum standard), up to a
maximum height of 50 feet. Ancillary facilities customarily
installed in conjunction with a permitted recreational use,
including light standards and safety netting, shall not be subject
to the height restrictions of the underlying district. Structures for
which a height bonus is requested and any ancillary facilities
taller than the underlying height restrictions shall be subject to
Board of Architectural Review approval under the "Commercial
and Light Industrial Design Review Criteria" provisions of TMC
Chapter 18.60.

The Land Use map included in the Plan reflects the goals and policies within the Comprehensive
Plan elements, It Conveys the long -term plan for the priniary -use character of the various City
neighborhoods. All areas of the City have distinct character, some established many years ago and
some currently evolving. There are natural areas being preserved and enhanced, but most land is
now residential, commercial and industrial.
To reflect the community's goals, changes in existing land use patterns are proposed in some areas
such as the Southcenter Subarea and the Tukwila International Boulevard District. Such change
is expected to occur gradually as strategic plans for specific areas are developed, the plans are
implemented and promoted, and public and private investment is made.
The land use designations employed on the map are defined below.
RA F, i,� �s - s f Q"�
Low- Density Residential: Areas primarily characterized by detached single - family residential
structures and their accessory uses, along with educational, institutional and recreational uses.
Density may vary by neighborhood and for projects proposing innovative housing types such
as cottage housing. These uses and densities are modified where covered by the Commercial
Redevelopment, Urban Renewal, Tukwila South and Public Recreation Overlays. (See Housing,
Residential Neighborhoods, and Tukwila South elements in Plan text.)
Medium- Density Residential: Areas characterized by residential duplexes, triplexes and
fourplexes and their accessory uses, along with educational, institutional and recreational uses.
MDR areas are intended to provide a transition between high- density residential or commercial
areas and low- density residential areas. These uses and building types are modified where
covered by the Commercial Redevelopment and Urban Renewal Overlays. (See Housing and
Residential Neighborhoods elements in Plan text.)
High- Density Residential: Areas characterized by larger and higher density multi - family buildings
and their accessory uses, along with educational, institutional and recreational uses. These
uses and densities are modified where covered by the Commercial Redevelopment and Urban
Renewal Overlays.
