This notice is approved subject to the decision criteria and conclusions that follow. I. PROJECT INFORMATION File Number: L10-021 Associated File Numbers: S 10-022 K&G Fashion Superstore Sign Permit Applicant: Eric Koch for Partners Architectural Design Group Type of Permit Applied for: Special Permission- Director: Sign Deviation Project Description: Request for a Special Permission- Director: Sign Deviation to increase the allowable sign area due to increased setbacks. Location: 17501 Southcenter Parkway #200 Zoning District: Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) Vicinity/Site Information The proposed sign is to be located on the east facade of the building located at 17501 Southcenter Parkway. The area of the exposed building face (EBF) that corresponds with the applicant's lease space is 3,898 square feet. The wall on which the sign is mounted is setback 269' from the front property line. Decisional Criteria The wall upon which the sign will be mounted is subject to the TUC front setback requirement, which is 15 ft. Upon approval as a Type 2 decision, according to TMC 19.32.140 (A), sign area may be increased 50% for CT Page 1 of 3 W:\Users\Courtney\L Files\L10-021 K&G Special Permission- Sign \2010_04 30 NOD.doc 04/29/2010 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone 206-431-3670 • Fax: 206-431-3665 • each doubling of the required minimum setback distance for the wall upon which a particular sign is to be placed, up to a maximum of 500 SF or 6% of the total EBF, whichever is less (TMC 19.32.150). Per table 1 of TMC 19.32.140, the standard allowed sign area is 127.96 sq. ft. for an EBF of 3,898 sq. ft. Since the building setback is 269 feet (17 times the minimum setback required within the TUC zone), this application qualifies for review as a Type 2 decision. With approval of a Type 2 decision the maximum sign allowance for this tenant space is 6% 'of the EBF, which is 233.88 sq. ft. The proposed sign area is 148.75 sq. ft. Conclusions 1. The building setback is a sufficient distance to allow an increase in the area of the wall sign. 2. The proposed sign does not exceed the 6% maximum threshold of wall sign area to EBF ratio as required by TMC 19.32.150. II. DECISION SEPA Determination: The City SEPA Responsible Official has previously determined that this application does not require a SEPA threshold determination because it is categorically exempt. Decision on Substantive Permit: The Community Development Director has determined that the application for a permanent sign permit does comply with applicable City and state code requirements and has approved that application, subject to any conditions which are set forth in the Decision.

K&G Fashion Superstore 17501 Southcenter Boulevard, #200 Dear Director Pace, I am an architect working for the landlord of the new K&G Fashion Superstore. We are moving their existing tenant space north within the same shopping center to re -tenant the vacant portions of the building. The existing signage for K&G will need to be relocated to their new location just north of their current location. The existing signage is larger than the base code allocation for the building. Per 19.32.140 B we request a Type 2 decision to increase our sign allowance 50% for the first doubling of the required minimum setback. Our building sign is about 269' away from the property line. The minimum front setback is 15' for the TUC zone. The actual distance is over 4 doubles of the minimum 15' setback. We are only requesting the base allocation be increased 50% from the initial doubling. Our existing sign is 149 s.f. The base allocation for this tenant space is 128s.f. If we increase the 128 x 1.5 gives us 192 s.f. allowable area. This gives us a large buffer over our actual 149 s.f. sign. The portion of the building that we are installing the sign is actually symmetrical to their existing sign location. The end result will be the same aesthetic to the center. We have filled out the application for the sign permit, and the Type 2 request, and look forward to any questions you might have regarding this proposal.
