This exceeds the allowable size by 2.4% per TMC 19.32.140(A) and TMC 19.32.150. Location: 17500 Southcenter Parkway, Tukwila 98188 Comprehensive Plan Designation: TUC Zoning District: TUC SEPA: No determination required STAFF: Deborah Ritter ATTACHMENTS: A. Site Plan B. Building facade C. Sign diagram FINDINGS Vicinity/Site Information The applicant requests approval of a Special Permission sign increasing the maximum allowable size of the sign by 2.4%. The exposed building face is 5527 square feet. With approval of the Special Permission Application, the wall sign would be 280 square feet (5.1% of EBF) versus the normal maximum of 150 square feet (2.7% of EBF). The text appears on the face of an internally lit frame, approximately 5 feet high and 40 feet wide ("Babies `R' Us" section) and 2.7 feet high and 19.5 feet wide ("The Baby Superstore" section) (see Attachment C). 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 431-3670 • Fax (206) 431-3665 L98-0063 Application for a Special Permission Sign Babies 'R' Us Page 2 Decision Criteria TMC 19.32.140(A) allows the permitted sign area to be "increased by 50% for each doubling of the required minimum setback...but in no case shall sign area exceed that permitted in TMC 19.132.150". TMC 19.32.150 allows up to "a maximum of 6% of the exposed building face." The tenant space is setback over 400 feet (at its closest point) from Southcenter Parkway. This setback is nearly 27 times the 15 foot minimum setback requirement for the TUC zone. As stated above, the standard allowed sign area would normally be 150 square feet (2.7% of the tenant's exposed building face of 5527 square feet). Since the building is setback approximately 27 times greater than the minimum setback required for this zone, the 6% formula mentioned above would apply. Under this formula the maximum allowed sign area would be 313.62 square feet. However, the applicant is requesting a sign that is only 280 square feet in size. CONCLUSIONS 1. The building is setback a sufficient distance to allow for a doubling of allowed sign area. 2. The proposed sign size of 280 square feet is within the allowed area established by the doubling of the setback while meeting the 6% maximum indicated in TMC 19.32.150. DECISION The request, as presented in Attachments to this report, is hereby approved. /12-4/4/.E Jack Pa;-, Acting Director of Community Development Date • SITE INSPECTION (PLANNING) File No. SO4-064 Name of Tenant: Babies R Us Sign Address: 17500 Southcenter Parkway Date Photo Taken: February 15, 2005 x Sign appears to conform to permit application Sign appears different from permit application Sign not installed as of (date) Make new site visit and taken photo by (date) Comments: SITE INSPECTION (PLANNING) File No. SO4-064 Name of Tenant: Babies R US Sign Address: 17500 Southcenter Parkway Date Photo Taken: September 24, 2004 Sign appears to conform to permit application Sign appears different from permit application Sign not installed as of (date) Make new site visit and taken photo by (date) Comments: I' l l iwu fdl; 1b1111 NII1u1 " 1411 II 1i r''. il�•�tt��ir INSPECTION NO.
