MEMORANDUM
TO: Steve Lancaster
From: Hans Korve
Date: September 24, 1997
Steve Lancaster, Director
Re: E97-0030, SEPA review of application by the Department of Community
Development for four code amendments.
Project Descriptions:
Four proposed development code amendments have been proposed. The first is an
amendment to allow "Brew -Pubs" in all zones which currently allow restaurants with
cocktail lounges. The second and third are proposed revisions to the Zoning. Code that
will make it possible to site specific types of essential facilities in residential areas as
"unclassified uses", under certain conditions and allowing amusement devices to be up to
100 feet tall, subject to a conditional use permit if the proposed project is taller than the
allowed height for that zoning district. The fourth is a proposed Comp. Plan amendment to
allow senior housing developments with densities up to 100 dwelling units per acre in the
TUC or TVS zones, or up to 60 units per acre if in other specified zones.
For the purpose of review, the four amendments will be labeled as follows:
a) Brew -Pubs
b) Essential Public Facilities
c) Amusement Devices
d) Senior Housing
Agencies With Jurisdiction:
None
Information Items/Summary of Interdepartmental Comments
• Public Works - Pat Brodin, Senior Engineer made the only comments to the checklist.
He was concerned that even though the code amendments are not site specific,
Essential Public Facilities could produce surface water impacts during construction.
While this is true, it should be understood that current erosion control practices will be
used for any construction project and that it is difficult to evaluate impacts for a non -site
specific proposal.

Summary of Primary Impacts:
• Earth
This is a non -site specific proposal
• Air
a) There have been some concerns about the odors produced in the brewing
process. By definition, "Brew Pubs" will operate their brew kettles in a closed
space with an air treatment system to control odor. State air quality officials
have only one recorded complaint against a brewery for odor. Dozens of
breweries operate in the state every day without incident.
d) While the proposal is not site specific, it can be expected that an increase in
housing density will result in a higher number of auto trips generated by the
project. However, given the nature of the development, it is likely that a
significant number of the senior residents will use public transit or shuttle
services for their travel needs.
• Plants
This is a non -site specific proposal
• Animals
This is a non -site specific proposal
• Energy/Natural Resources
This is a non -site specific proposal
• Environmental Health
a) The brewing process uses no hazardous substances and the chance of
explosion is no greater than any other restaurant using gas appliances. Toxic
chemicals on site would be limited to commercial cleaning supplies.
• Land /Shoreline
This is a non -site specific proposal
• Housing
d) Increased density for senior housing projects will increase the number of housing
units for older citizens. No information is available as to the pricing structure for
the units.
SEPA Code Amendments E97-0030
• Aesthetics
c) The largest structure allowed in this proposal would be 100 feet. If the structure
is larger that what is normally allowed by Code, the project must be approved
through the conditional use process.
• Light and Glare
This is a non -site specific proposal
• Recreation
d) Senior Housing recreation programs.
• Historic/Cultural Preservation
This is a non site specific proposal
• Transportation
This is a non -site specific proposal
• Public Services
d) The increased number of senior residences in a concentrated area may require
additional public health services. Police and Fire protection would likely be no
different than for any other form of high density housing. Additional demands
could be placed on public transit to serve the increased elderly population.
• Utilities
This is a non -site specific proposal

FROM: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director
RE: Fermenting and Distilling in Commercial zones
DATE: August 29, 1997
Background
The operators of the Sizzler restaurant on Southcenter Parkway are interested in
remodeling it into a brew pub (see attached letter). They have asked that the City Council
consider expanding the zones in which fermenting is allowed to include the TUC, subject
to certain size restrictions. Currently fermenting and distilling are only allowed in
industrial zones (LI, HI, MIC/L, MIC/H and TVS). At the August 26th meeting the CAP
decided to define "brew pub" and add brew pubs as allowed uses in all zones that allow
restaurants with cocktail lounges.
The Council discussed the off-site impacts of fermenting and distilling last September
when these uses were reinstated into the industrial zones. Staff research at that time
found that only one brewery had any registered complaints regarding odor, though most
were located in commercial and residential areas.
Proposal
Add a definition for "brew pub" to the Zoning Code:
18.06.07x Brew Pub.
"Brew pub" means a restaurant -type establishment that meets the following
criteria:
• sells beer for consumption on site and sale in sealed containers;
• restaurant portion can be no larger than 8,000 square feet;
• produces beer in batch sizes not less than seven U.S. barrels (thirty one gallons);
• produces no more than 2,000 barrels of beer per year;
• the brew house is enclosed with an air treatment system;
• revenue from food sales must comprise at least 60% of total business revenues
Add brew pubs as an allowed use in all zones that allow restaurants with cocktail lounges
(MUO, 0, NCC, RC, RCM, TUC, C/LI, LI, HI, MIC/L, MIC/H, TVS).
Add brew pubs as a conditional use in the RCC zone.
Requested Action
Forward the proposal on to the Planning Commission.

RE: Essential Public Facilities in residential areas
DATE: August 29, 1997
Background
The issues involved in siting essential public facilities in residential neighborhoods were
presented to the CAP on July 11. This issue arose because the Highline Water District would
like to site a reservoir in the McMicken neighborhood. Staff presented several options and the
chosen approach was to specify what types of essential public facilities could be potentially
sited in residential zoning districts under an unclassified use permit and establish criteria and
thresholds. Staff brought the following language to the CAP on August 26th.
Proposal
18.xx.050 Unclassified uses.
Add the following essential public facilities to the list of unclassified uses in the LDR, MDR,
HDR, MUO, 0, and NCC zones:
x. Neighborhood stormwater detention and treatment facilities,
x. Stormwater pump stations,
x. Water utility reservoirs and related facilities,
x. Sewage lift stations
x. Water pump stations
x. Other uses not specifically listed in this Title which the Director determines to be:
a. similar in nature to other uses allowed through the unclassified use permit;
b. consistent with the stated purpose of the district;
c. consistent with the policies of the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan.
Add to the decision criteria for unclassified uses:
18.66.060 Criteria
6. For uses in residential areas demonstrate that there is no reasonable nonresidential
alternative site for the use;
7. For uses in residential areas demonstrate that the use provides some tangible benefit
for the neighborhood.

RE: Height exception in C/LI zone
DATE: August 29, 1997
background
The developers of the Family Fun Center to be located at the old Neilson farm site at
Interurban and 405 would like to install a "skycoaster" which is basically a 100 foot tall
swing (see attached diagram). The height limit in the C/LI zone is 4 stories or 45 feet and
the site is not within a building height exception area. They have asked that the City
Council consider either adding the 10 story building height exception area to the site, or
exempting amusement devices from the building height limits. At their August 26th
meeting the CAP decided to allow amusement devices up to 100 feet and require a
conditional use permit for devices taller than the height limit in the applicable zone.
Proposal
18.50.090 Height limitation for amusement devices.
Amusement devices shall be allowed up to 100 feet in height in commercial or
industrial zones. Any devices that exceed the height limit of the zone in which they are
located shall be subject to a conditional use permit.
Requested Action
Forward the proposal to the Planning Commission.

RE: Code Changes Required for Increased Senior Citizen Housing Density
DATE: August 21, 1997
In March of this year, the City Council considered several proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendments. The Council at that time decided to continue review of only one of these
amendments, pertaining to senior housing. It was recognized at that time that
implementing the proposed Plan amendment would require amendment of the Zoning
Code and Multi -Family Design Guidelines. At the CAP meeting on July 15 Staff
outlined some of these revisions to the Code and Design Guidelines.
This memo summarizes the decisions made by the Committee at the July 15 CAP
meeting. Attachment A shows how a prototypical 60 unit, 3 story assisted living
development would fit on a site at 50 unit per acre zoning.
CAP Recommended Changes
1. Do not allow increased density for senior housing in the RCC zone.
2. Require that senior housing must incorporate office or retail in the NCC zone.
3. Do not require mixed use for senior housing in the MUO zone
4. Require ground floor commercial and location near the Green River or Tukwila Pond
for senior housing in the TUC.
5. Allow senior housing in the TVS zone subject to the same requirements as in the
TUC zone.
6. Require that all standard multi -family requirements be met if a senior housing project
is converted to general rentals.
7. Require that senior housing must incorporate office or retail in the RCMU zone.
8. Exempt senior housing from the 50 percent development area coverage in the HDR
zone.
9. Gather more information about recreation space requirements before setting a
standard for senior housing.
10. Pull the multi -family design guidelines applicable to senior housing into a separate
handbook.
11. Require that senior housing adjacent to LDR zoning provide extra landscaping and
step the building down to create a better transition.
12. Do not require that senior housing developments be stepped down toward the street.
•
13. Review the height limits in the MUO (3 stories or 45 feet) and RCM (3 stories or 35
feet) zones.
14. Consider including additional requirements for senior housing such as long term
management or federal funding.
15. Gather additional density numbers for senior housing developments.
Zoning Code

revisions. Because the CAP did not arrive at a consensus on the density issue that has

development subject to the requirements of the State
Environmental Policy Act, RCW 43.21C, shall be evaluated
to determine whether adverse environmental impacts have
been adequately mitigated.
Supplemental Development Standards
18.50.085 Maximum percent development area coverage.
In the MDR and HDR zones the maximum percent development area coverage
shall be 50%. except for senior citizen housing developments in HDR. If the building is
converted to regular apartments the 50% limit must be met.
Landscape, Recreation, Recycling/Solid Waste Space Requirements
18.52.060 Recreation space requirements.
In all MDR and HDR zoning districts, any proposed multiple -family structure, complex
or development shall provide on the premises and for the use of the occupants a minimum
amount of recreation space according to the following provisions:
1. Required Area.
a. For each proposed dwelling unit in the multiple -family development, a minimum
of 400 square feet (200 square feet for senior citizen housing) of recreation space shall be
provided. Any multiple -family structure, complex or development shall provide a
minimum of 1,000 square feet of total recreation space;
b. The front, side and rear yard setback areas required by the applicable zoning
district shall not qualify as recreation space;
2. Indoor or Covered Space.
a. No more than 50% of the required recreation space may be indoor or covered
space (except senior citizen housing which may have 90% indoor or covered space);
b. The Board of Architectural Review may grant a maximum of two square feet of
recreation space for each one square foot of extensively improved indoor recreation space
provided. Interior facility improvements would include a full range of weight machines,
sauna, hot tub, large screen television and the like.
3. Uncovered Space.
a. A minimum of 50% of the total required recreation space shall be open or
uncovered, up to 100% of the total requirement may be in open or uncovered recreation
space (senior citizen housing only requires 10% of recreation space to be outdoors);
b. Recreation space shall not exceed a 4% slope in any direction unless it is
determined that the proposed space design clearly facilitates and encourages the
anticipated use as endorsed by the Director.
c. The Board of Architectural Review may grant a maximum credit of two square
feet of recreation space for each one square foot of outdoor pool and surrounding deck
area.
4. General Requirements.
• •
a. Multiple -family complexes (except senior citizen housing) which provide
dwelling units with two or more bedrooms shall provide adequate recreation space for
children with at least one space for the 5 -to -12 -year old group. Such space shall be at
least 25% but not more than 50% of the total recreation space required under TMC
18.52.060.1, and shall be designated, located and maintained in a safe condition;
b. Adequate fencing, plant screening, or other buffer shall separate the recreation
space from parking areas, driveways or public streets.

Tukwila Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designations (pages 189-190, 192)
High-density residential: Areas characterized by multi -family buildings: 15 - 21.8 units
per net acre with senior citizen housing allowed up to ? units per net acre.
Mixed -Use Office: Areas characterized by professional and commercial office
structures, mixed with certain complementary retail, and residential uses and Senior
citizen housing allowed up to ? units per net acre.
Residential Commercial Center: Pedestrian -friendly areas characterized and scaled to
serve a local neighborhood, with a diverse mix of uses. Uses include certain commercial
uses mixed with residential at second story or above, with a maximum density of 14.5
units per acre (senior citizen housing allowed up to ? units per net acre); retail; service;
office; and recreational and community facilities.
•
Neighborhood Commercial Center: Pedestrian -friendly areas characterized and scaled
to serve multiple residential areas, with a diverse mix of uses. Uses include certain
commercial uses mixed with residential at second story or above, with a maximum
density of 14.5 units per acre (senior citizen housing allowed up to ? units per net acre);
retail; service; office; and recreational and community facilities, generally along a
transportation corridor.
Regional Commercial Mixed Use: Areas characterized by commercial services, offices,
lodging, entertainment, retail activities and associated warehousing, and certain accessory
light industrial uses. Residential uses mixed with certain commercial uses are also
allowed, at second story or above levels, subject to special design standards, and with a
maximum density of 14.5 units per acre (senior citizen housing allowed up to ? units per
net acre).
Tukwila Urban Center Mixed Use Residential: Areas adjacent to water amenities (i.e.,
Tukwila Pond, the Green River, and Minkler Pond) that allow mixed use residential,
subject to special design standards, with a maximum density of 22 units per acre (senior
citizen housing allowed up to ? units per net acre). These are the only areas where mixed
use residential is allowed in the Tukwila Urban Center.
Tukwila Valley South Mixed Use Residential: Areas adjacent to the Green River that
allow mixed use residential, subject to special design standards, with a maximum density
of 22 units per net acre (senior citizen housing allowed up to ? units per net acre). These
are the only areas where mixed use residential is allowed in the Tukwila Valley South
Area.
i
Attachment A - Prototype Assisted Living Development
Project Size 60 Units
Lot Area 1.2 Acres (assuming 50 unit per acre zoning)
Building Size
Average unit size 330 square feet
1 to 1 Common space ratio equals 330 square feet per unit
Total assignable space = (330+330) x 60 = 39,600
20% Unassignable space (mechanical rooms, stairs, elevators, storage)
Total building size = (39,600 x .2) + 39,600 = 47,520 square feet
Building footprint for 3 story building = 47,520 / 3 stories = 15,840 square feet
Required Parking
Zoning Code requires 1 space per unit for first 15 units, then 1 space per 2 units
Total spaces required = 15 + (45/2) = 38 spaces
34 spaces at 45 degree angle parking requires 12.7' curb length per car
Double loaded aisle of 17 stalls = 12.7 x 17 = 216 linear feet
Parking area = 60' unit width x 216' length = 12,960 square feet
4 ADA stalls at 24' curb length for 2 and 60' unit width
Parking area = 60' width x 24' length = 1,440 square feet
Total parking area = 12,960 + 1,440 =14,400 square feet
2 Bicycle spaces required
Lot Usage
1.2 acres x 43,560 square feet = 52,300 square feet
Subtract 14,400 sf for parking
Subtract 15,840 sf for building footprint (assuming 3 stories)
Area available for landscaping, driveways, building setbacks, recreation space or
stepped building heights = 22,060 sf
Mixed Use Scenario
NCC and RCM zones require mixed use development but have a 3 story height
limit (except NCC on Pacific Highway), therefore one story of housing would have to be
replaced by commercial uses. This combined with the higher parking requirements for
office and retail uses would likely lower the housing density by at least a third.
