The proposed amendments range from code clarification to updating development regulations and permit processes. BACKGROUND Staff has grouped together amendments to the Tukwila Municipal Code for your consideration. Staff briefed the Planning and Community Development Committee on March 21, 2022 and the Committee forwarded them to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed changes on April 28, 2022 and their recommendations are reflected in the attached draft ordinances. DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED CHANGES A. Title 8 – Public Peace, Morals, and Safety 1.Modify the definition of “Residential Party” to include “Residential Party or Other Noise Generating Event,” in both the Noise Code and the section of the Zoning Code so that loud events, other than parties, must also acquire a variance (TMC 8.22.020 and 8.22.120). This clarification will make it clear that Type 1 Noise Variances for parties/events are subject to noticing those within 500 feet. It does not pertain to whether or not they need a variance. 2.Modify the public noticing requirement for Type 1 Noise Variances to clarify that notice is required to residents and businesses within 500 feet in the case of residential parties and events (TMC 8.22.120.B.(3)). B. Title 17 – Subdivisions and Plats 1.Clarify that Boundary Line Adjustments and Lot Consolidations shall not result in the creation of lots with split zoning (TMC 17.08.030). C. Title 18 – Zoning 1.Modify code definitions and the table defining land uses allowed in each zoning district: a.Rename “Outpatient Medical Clinic” to “Clinic, Outpatient Medical” so that it is listed alphabetically between “Clearing” and “Closed Record Appeal.” (TMC 18.06.150) b.In compliance with adopted legislation, revise the definition of Essential Public Facilities to clarify that it does not include facilities that are operated by a private entity in which 3 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 Page 2 of 4 persons are detained in custody under process of law pending the outcome of legal proceedings. (RCW 36.70A.200) c.Relocate and renumber location of definition of Revetment (TMC 18.06.677), currently between TMC 18.06.676, Regional Detention Facility and TMC 18.06.680, Research and Development Facility, to correct alphabetizing, and adjust any references in other sections to reference correct code citation. d.Revise the Adult Entertainment Establishments sub‐definition for Adult Bathhouse to ”a commercial establishment which excludes any person by virtue of age from all or any portion of the premises, or which provides to its patrons an opportunity for engaging in “Specified Sexual Activities," with or without a membership fee.” 2.Update references in the Zoning Code to “Environmentally Sensitive Areas” (ESAs) to new approved term “Critical Areas” to be consistent with nomenclature changed in the Environmentally Critical Areas chapter, TMC 18.45, in 2020. 3.To support the intent of the Nonconforming provisions of the Code, add a requirement for bonding when the primary structure is proposed to be demolished, while accessory structures are proposed to remain. The bond shall cover the 150% of the demolition cost should an approved primary use not be applied for within 1 year. This has been the City’s practice in the past; however, it has not been codified to date. (TMC 18.70.050) 4.Correct reference and process errors in the Shoreline Overlay chapter of the Code (TMC 18.44). With the update of the Shoreline Master Program in 2020, the City intended to allow Shoreline Conditional Use Permits to be processed as Type 3 permits, rather than Type 4 permits. This change was made in in the Shoreline Overlay chapter of the Code, but not made uniformly within other parts the Zoning Code. It needs to be corrected to avoid confusion about the process required for Shoreline CUPs. 5.Change the Supplemental Development Standards (TMC 18.50) as follows: a.Clarify how an applicant can acquire a “Retaining Wall Setback Waiver(s).” The current code does not specify the process to be used, although it is intended to be the “Type 2 Special Permission Decision to the Community Development Director.” 6.Update individual zoning district basic development standards sections to ensure they are consistent with changes made to the Landscape Chapter in 2017. At the time the Landscape Code was updated, it was intended that the individual district requirements would be modified, however this was overlooked in the final adoption process. Modify reference in TMC 18.54.080 Table A(1) to remove “see Tree Permit Application for additional detail.” Since the Permit Center began taking permit applications online, those applications have been streamlined and additional information is no longer presented in this location. 4 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 Page 3 of 4 7.TMC 18.54.140 ‐ Tree Permit Exception – Modify the Permit Exceptions section of the code to remove reference to a Tree Exception Permit. The tree permit exception criteria listed can be applied to a Tree Permit instead of to a separate Tree Exception Permit. This type of permit is not listed in TMC 18.104. Remove reference to a Tree Exception Permit in TMC 18.54.030.A.3. and TMC 18.54.130.B. Add reference to exception criteria to TMC 18.54.050, “All Tree Permit applications shall meet the criteria outlined below for approval, or meet the criteria for a tree permit exception found in TMC 18.54.140.” 8.Update Table 18‐6 to consolidate uses listed as “Restaurants including drive through, sit down, cocktail lounges in conjunction with a restaurant” and “Restaurants including cocktail lounges in conjunction with a restaurant” into one use called “Restaurants including drive through, sit down, and cocktail lounges in conjunction with a restaurant.” Along with this change, also consolidate the zones where this use is permitted, combining what is currently listed and matching the zones where brew pubs are permitted. Further work is required at a later date to define the different types of restaurants. 9.Correct reference in TMC 18.44.110.G.6.a, Administration: Non‐Conforming Development: Non‐Conforming Parking Lots, which cite landscape standards, but cites wrong section. Currently, citation says “…, except as necessary to meet vegetation protection and landscaping standards consistent with TMC Section 18.44.110.E.7.” The section should reference TMC 18.44.110.G.7, Administration: Non‐Conforming Development: Non‐ Conforming Landscape Areas. 10.In 2017 and 2020, the City’s Landscaping Regulations were updated to modify, among other changes, landscape buffer requirements. These changes were made in the landscaping code, however, they did not also modify the requirements listed in the individual zoning district sections of the code. The following changes would address that: a.TMC 18.10.060 (LDR) Basic Development Standards – add a reference to TMC 18.52, as conditioned, for Landscape requirements for Uses other than residential. b.For all other district chapters, remove any previous district landscape requirements and add reference to TMC 18.52 Table A for minimum landscape requirements. c.Revise perimeter landscaping requirements set forth in TMC 18.52 Table A to not be greater than the required setbacks set forth in each district’s development standards section. 11.Update Table 18‐6, Land Uses Allowed by District, to streamline categories and remove outdated land use types. 12.Revise Supplemental Development Standards: a.Remove requirement in Supplemental Development Standards for single‐family homes to have a 5:12 roof pitch. b.Remove requirement that single‐family homes be setback at least twice the minimum front yard setback when applying for a variance to have the front door face a side or rear yard. 5 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 4 Page 4 of 4 D. Title 19 – Sign 1. TMC 19, Sign Code, has several needed amendments a. Eliminate the excess process that requires businesses to submit a "notice of copy change form" when they wish to reface an existing, permitted sign. (TMC 19.20.040(6)(d), 19.32.075(4), and 19.20.030(B)(7)(D)) b. Clarify in TMC 19.20.040 that all freestanding signs follow the monument sign standards. There has been customer confusion as to whether there is another Code section where freestanding sign standards are contained. Suggested language: “Monument and freestanding signs are permitted within all commercial and industrial zones, subject to the following standards.” c. Provide definition for “Murals.” FINANCIAL IMPACT N/A RECOMMENDATION The Committee is being asked to forward the Planning Commission’s recommendations to the Committee of the Whole for discussion and a public hearing on August 8, 2022 and consider the ordinances for approval at the subsequent August 15, 2022, Regular Meeting.
