Plan. The Plan was developed with input from the community and serves as a conceptual
framework and strategic approach to art in the City. An accompanying implementation plan
includes a draft list of projects and cultural events that could link to the focus areas identified
in the Plan. The four theme areas identified in the Plan are the River, Tukwila International
Boulevard, Southcenter District, and Tukwila Village. To begin implementing the Plan, staff is
recommending the hiring of Artists-in-Residence to work on projects at Tukwila International
Boulevard and the River. Funding for art projects comes from eligible capital funds that are
transferred to the Municipal Arts Fund per TMC 2.30.050. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.

Residential Development Standards and Guidelines for Tukwila South Overlay Zone
D.
Staff briefed the Committee on efforts to
development standards and guidelines for the Tukwila South Overlay District. These
amendments are being requested by Segale Properties LLC and would apply only to
residential uses in that portion of the TSO which immediately adjoins land located in the City
of Seatac to the east of Interstate 5. Segale is working on selling land for a proposed
multifamily development that will straddle the cities of Tukwila and SeaTac. The current
-family Design Manual and development standards similar
to those in the High Density Residential (HDR) zone, but with modifications to landscaping,
recreation, and parking requirements that would be more applicable for this area. For
example, the proposed development includes clubhouse/recreational amenity space that
would fall in the SeaTac part of the project, so recreational requirements on the Tukwila side
could factor that in. Chair Kruller stated support for the Planning Commission to review the
proposal and that any deviations from the HDR standards must be thoroughly defensible.
Councilmember Idan stated he understands that the Tukwila Valley South Overlay District has
unique qualities that should be considered, and that HDR standards in other parts of the City
may need to be modified. Councilmember Hougardy has no recommendation at this time.
