SUBJECT! Ordinance to Correct Recreational Vehicle Parking on Private Property
ISSUE
TMC 9.20.090, "Recreational vehicle and trailer parking in residential zones," contains a
reference to a section of the Code that was repeated last year.
DISCUSSION
During a periodic update of the online Tukwila Municipal Code, staff in the Clerk's Office noted
that TMC 9.20.090 contains a reference to TMC Chapter 8.25. TMC Chapter 8.25 was repealed
in 2016 by Ordinance 2518, which implemented low impact development requirements in the
Zoning code. Provisions relating to recreational vehicle storage on private residential property
are now codified at TMC 18.56.065.
This draft ordinance simply changes the reference from TMC 8.25 to the correct TMC
18.56.065. No policy or process will be impacted by this change.
The specific amendment is in Section C as follows:
A. Application. This section shall apply to parking recreational vehicles and small trailers
on City streets in residential zones.
B. Recreational vehicles and small trailers may be parked on any City street, alley or
public right-of-way in any residential zone in the City for a period of up to 24 hours,
C. Recreational vehicles may be stored or parked on private property as specified in TMC
Section 18.56,065. Ghapte-r-- Z
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approval of this housekeeping ordinance and recommends the
Community Affairs and Neighborhoods Committee advance it to the September 18, 2017
Regular Consent Agenda.
