18.70.010 Purpose
It is the purpose of this chapter to establish limitations on the
expansion and extension of nonconforming uses and structures
which adversely affect the development and perpetuation of
desirable residential, commercial, and industrial areas with
appropriate groupings of compatible and related uses.
(Ord. 1819 §1 (part), 1997)
18.70.020 Construction Approved Prior to Adoption of
Title
To avoid undue hardship, nothing in this title shall be deemed
to require a change in plans, construction or designated use of any
building on which actual construction was lawfully begun prior to
adoption of this title and upon which actual building construction
has been carried on in a diligent manner. Actual construction shall
consist of materials in permanent positions and fastened in a
permanent manner, and demolition, elimination and removal of
one or more existing structures in connection with such
construction; providing, that actual construction work shall be
diligently carried on until the completion of the structure involved.
(Ord. 1819 §1 (part), 1997)
18.70.030 Substandard Lots
A. A lot, as defined in TMC 18.06.500, which does not meet
the minimum standard for average lot width for the zone in which
it is located, may still be developed as a separate lot if the
proposed use is one which is permitted in the zone, and the
proposed development can comply with the remaining
requirements of this title regarding basic development standards
for the applicable zone and other applicable land use and
environmental requirements.
B. A lot, as defined in TMC 18.06.500, which cannot meet
the basic development standards (other than lot width) for the
applicable zone and other applicable land use and environmental
requirements, may be developed only if it is combined with
adjacent lot(s) in a manner which allows the combined lots to be
developed in a manner which does comply with the basic
development standards for the applicable zone and other
applicable land use and environmental requirements. In the event
lots are combined in order to comply with the requirements of this
subsection, a boundary line adjustment shall occur so that the
combined lots are henceforth considered a single lot.
C. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to prevent the
owner of a sub -standard lot from applying for or receiving approval
of variances pursuant to TMC Chapter 18.72.
(Ord. 2153 §1, 2007; Ord. 2097 §21, 2005)
18.70.040 Nonconforming Uses
Any preexisting lawful use of land made nonconforming under
the terms of this title may be continued as a nonconforming use,
defined in TMC Chapter 18.06, so long as that use remains lawful,
subject to the following:
1. No such nonconforming use shall be enlarged,
intensified, increased or extended to occupy a greater use of the
land, structure or combination of the two, than was occupied at the
effective date of adoption of this title.
2. No nonconforming use shall be moved or extended
in whole or in part to any other portion of the lot or parcel occupied
by such use at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this
title.
3. If any such nonconforming use ceases for any
reason for a period of more than six consecutive months, or a total
of 365 days in a three-year time period, whichever occurs first, any
subsequent use shall conform to the regulations specified by this
title for the district in which such use is located.
4. No existing structure devoted to a use not permitted
by this title in the zone in which it is located shall be structurally
altered, except in changing the use of the structure to a use
permitted in the zone in which it is located; except where minor
alterations are made, pursuant to TMC Section 18.70.050(1), TMC
Section 18.70.060, or any other pertinent section, herein.
5. If a change of use is proposed to a use determined
to be nonconforming by application of provisions in this title, the
proposed new use must be a permitted use in its zone or a use
approved under a Conditional Use or Unclassified Use Permit
process, subject to review and approval by the Hearing Examiner
and/or the City Council. For purposes of implementing this
section, a change of use constitutes a change from one Permitted,
Conditional or Unclassified Use category to another such use
category as listed within the Zoning Code.
6. Any structure, or structure and land in combination,
in or on which a nonconforming use is superseded by a permitted
use, shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the zone in
which such structure is located, and the nonconforming use may
not thereafter be resumed.
(Ord. 2500 §31, 2016; Ord. 1819 §1 (part), 1997)

TUKWILA MUNICIPAL CODE
18.70.050 Nonconforming Structures
Where a lawful structure exists at the effective date of
adoption of this title that could not be built under the terms of this
title by reason of restrictions on area, development area, height,
yards or other characteristics of the structure, it may be continued
so long as the structure remains otherwise lawful subject to the
following provisions:
1. No such structure may be enlarged or altered in such
a way that increases its degree of nonconformity. Ordinary
maintenance of a nonconforming structure is permitted, pursuant
to TMC Section 18.70.060, including but not limited to painting,
roof repair and replacement, plumbing, wiring, mechanical
equipment repair/replacement and weatherization. These and
other alterations, additions or enlargements may be allowed as
long as the work done does not extend further into any required
yard or violate any other portion of this title. Complete plans shall
be required of all work contemplated under this section.
2. Should such structure be destroyed by any means to
an extent of more than 50% of its replacement cost at time of
destruction, in the judgment of the City's Building Official, it shall
not be reconstructed except in conformity with provisions of this
title, except that in the LDR zone, structures that are
nonconforming in regard to yard setbacks or sensitive area
buffers, but were in conformance at the time of construction may
be reconstructed to their original dimensions and location on the
lot.
3. Should such structure be moved for any reason or
any distance whatsoever, it shall thereafter conform to the
regulations for the zone in which it is located after it is moved.
4. When a nonconforming structure, or structure and
premises in combination, is vacated or abandoned for 24
consecutive months, the structure, or structure and premises in
combination, shall thereafter be required to be in conformance
with the regulations of the zone in which it is located. Upon
request of the owner, the City Council may grant an extension of
time beyond the 24 consecutive months.
5. Residential structures and uses located in any
single-family or multiple -family residential zoning district and in
existence at the time of adoption of this title shall not be deemed
nonconforming in terms of bulk, use, or density provisions of this
title. Such buildings may be rebuilt after a fire or other natural
disaster to their original dimensions and bulk, but may not be
changed except as provided in the non -conforming uses section
of this chapter.
6. Single-family structures in single- or multiple -family
residential zone districts that have legally nonconforming building
setbacks, shall be allowed to expand the ground floor only along
the existing building line(s), so long as the existing distance from
the nearest point of the structure to the property line is not
reduced, and the square footage of new intrusion into the setback
does not exceed 50% of the square footage of the current
intrusion.
7. In wetlands, watercourses and their buffers, existing
structures that do not meet the requirements of the Sensitive
Areas Overlay District chapter of this title may be remodeled,
reconstructed or replaced, provided that:
a. The new construction does not further intrude
into or adversely impact an undeveloped sensitive area or the
required buffer;
b. The new construction does not threaten the
public health, safety or welfare; and
c. The structure otherwise meets the requirements
of this chapter.
8. In areas of potential geologic instability, coal mine
hazard areas, and buffers, as defined in the Sensitive Areas
Overlay District chapter of this title, existing structures may be
remodeled, reconstructed or replaced, provided that:
a. The new construction is subject to the
geotechnical report requirements and standards of TMC Sections
18.45.120B and 18.45.120C;
b. The new construction does not threaten the
public health, safety or welfare;
c. The new construction does not increase the
potential for soil erosion or result in unacceptable risk or damage
to existing or potential development or to neighboring properties;
and
d. The structure otherwise meets the requirements
of this chapter.
9. A nonconforming use, within a nonconforming
structure, shall not be allowed to expand into any other portion of
the nonconforming structure.
(Ord. 2518 §15, 2016; Ord. 2175 §1, 2007, Ord. 2077 §1, 2004;
Ord. 1819 §1 (part), 1997)
18.70.060 Repairs and Maintenance
If any building is devoted in whole or in part to any
nonconforming use, work may be done in any period of twelve
consecutive months on ordinary repairs, or on repair or
replacement of nonbearing walls, fixtures, wiring or plumbing to an
extent not exceeding 25% of the current replacement value of the
building.
(Ord. 1819 §1 (part), 1997)
18.70.070 Building Safety
A. Nothing in this title shall be deemed to prevent the
strengthening or restoring to a safe condition of any
nonconforming building or part thereof declared to be unsafe by
order of any City official charged with protecting the public safety.
B. Alterations or expansion of a nonconforming use which
are required by law or a public agency in order to comply with
public health or safety regulations are the only alterations or
expansions allowed.
(Ord. 1819 §1 (part), 1997)
18.70.080 Nonconforming Parking Lots
A. Nothing contained in the Off-street Parking and Loading
Regulations chapter of this title shall be construed to require a
change in any aspect of a structure or facility covered thereunder
including, without limitation, parking lot layout, loading space
Page 18— 0 Produced by the City of Tukwila, City Clerk's Office
TITLE 18 — ZONING
requirements and curb -cuts, for any structure or facility which
existed on the date of adoption of this title.
B. If a change of use takes place, or an addition is proposed,
which requires an increase in the parking area by an increment
less than 100%, the requirements of the Off-street Parking and
Loading Regulations chapter of this title shall be complied with for
the additional parking area.
C. If a change of use takes place, or an addition is proposed,
which requires an increase in the parking area by an increment
greater than 100%, the requirements of the Off-street Parking and
Loading Regulations chapter of this title shall be complied with for
the entire parking area.
(Ord. 1819 §1(part), 1997)
18.70.090 Nonconforming Landscape Areas
A. Adoption of the landscaping regulations contained in this
title shall not be construed to require a change in the landscape
improvements for any legal landscape area which existed on the
date of adoption of this title, unless and until a change of use or
alteration of the structure requiring design review approval is
proposed (see TMC Chapter 18.60).
B. At such time as a change requiring design review
approval is proposed for a use or structure, and the associated
premises does not comply with the landscape requirements of this
title, a landscape plan which conforms to the requirements of this
title shall be submitted for approval along with the design review
application. The BAR (or DCD Director in the case of
administrative design review) may modify the standards imposed
by this title when, in their judgment, strict compliance with the
landscaping standards of this code would create substantial
practical difficulties, the existing and proposed additional
landscaping and screening materials together will adequately
screen or buffer possible use incompatibilities, soften the barren
appearance of parking or storage areas, and/or adequately
enhance the premises appropriate to the use district and location
of the site.
(Ord. 2005 §19, 2002; Ord. 1872 §15, 1999;
Ord. 1819 §1(part), 1997)
18.70.100 Conditional and Unclassified Uses
A legal use does not become nonconforming because the
zone in which it is located is changed to a zone which requires a
conditional or unclassified use permit for the use, or because the
use is changed from an allowed use to a conditional or unclassified
use within the same zone; provided, however, the use may not be
expanded nor may buildings be enlarged, altered or modified
without first obtaining a conditional or unclassified use permit if
required pursuant to requirements of TMC Chapters 18.64 or
18.66.
(Ord. 1819 §1(part), 1997)
18.70.110 Nonconforming Adult Entertainment

entertainment use or establishment which is rendered
nonconforming by the provisions of any ordinance of the City shall
be terminated or discontinued within 90 days from the effective

3. Within ten days, excluding weekends and holidays
recognized by the City, from the date of the hearing on an appeal
under this section, the hearing examiner shall issue a written
decision, which shall set forth the hearing examiner's findings of
fact and conclusions of law. The hearing examiner shall consider
the following factors and any other factors that he/she determines
to be relevant or helpful in reaching a decision:
a. The harm or hardship to the appellant caused by
the 90-day termination provision of this section;
b. The benefit to the public to be gained from
termination of the use;
c. The nature of the leasehold or other ownership
interest that an appellant may have in premises occupied by the
adult entertainment use;
d. Restrictions or lack of same imposed on an
appellant's use of such premises by a lease or other binding
agreement;
e. Amounts expended by an appellant for
improvements to such premises or for necessary equipment and

contemplated to be left as property of the lessor; and
f. Any clear evidence of substantial economic harm
caused by enforcement of the 90-day termination provision of this
section.
