The proposed amendments to the Parking Code will improve the scope of the ordinance, provide additional definitions and regulations to emerging land uses, improve clarity and bring the code into closer compliance with state statute, guidelines and other regulatory mechanisms. These proposals may result in an increase in new subdivisions and/or development application that the prior code did not adequately accommodate. It may also result in a change in the demand and supply of parking. The proposal may also result in an increase demand for transportation and/or public services due to the resulting increase in new development from the revisions to these codes. There are no available alternatives, as the revisions may only be implemented through changes to the city's municipal codes. RECOMMENDATION: DNS a:/sepa/me9633 CITY.

Supplemental sheet for all project and non -project proposals 1. What are the objectives of the proposal A) Amendments to Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.56, Off-street parking and loading requirements. The proposed amendments to TMC 18.56 are designed to accomplish a variety of goals. the revisions to this sections will improve the scope of the ordinance, provide additional definitions and regulations due to emerging land uses, provide editorial and administrative changes to provide more clarity, and, provide updated language to bring the city's ordinance into compliance with state statutes, guidelines and other regulatory mechanisms. The actual revisions to the code include: • Development of parking requirements for Senior Citizen Housing • Broaden categories for cooperative and shared parking strategies • Revise the handicapped parking requirements to improve linkage to state requirements • Regulate the entire supply of compact parking • Develop administrative review for requests for parking below minimum requirements • Adopt a Gross Leasable Area standard for calculating minimum parking requirements B) Amendments to TMC Title 17, Subdivisions. The proposed amendments to Title 17, Subdivisions, are designed to accomplish a variety of goals. The revisions will bring this section in compliance with state law. The Subdivisions ordinance was adopted in 1977. Since then, several changes have been made to the state statute governing subdivisions (RCW 58.17), leaving the city's ordinance out of compliance. The subdivision ordinance is one of several ordinances used to implement Comprehensive Plan policies. Since its adoption occurred in December, 1995, the existing subdivisions code does not conform with the city's plan. Finally, there are editorial, procedural and administrative improvements that need to be affected for clarity and to conform with other revisions to the city's municipal code.
