C. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NON -PROJECT PROPOSALS
(do not use this sheet for project actions)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of elements of
the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities likely to result from
the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not
implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms.
Please respond to all questions. Use separate sheets as necessary.
Applicant Responses: Agency Comments
1. How would the proposals be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air;
production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
There is the potential for increases in emissions to air as the proposal is to
allow off -premises parking, which may cause motorists to execute
additional movements if they are not aware that parking is located off -site.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
During facility design and review, locating all public parking in one location
rather than in two separate locations would minimize the motorist from
"hunting" for the closest stall to the facility and likely prevent motorist from
reentering and maneuvering in the public streets.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The additional carbon emissions from additional vehicle maneuvering has
the potential to negatively impact all life.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
There are multiple ways to limit emissions to the air; limit the amount of
parking thereby encouraging motorists to use transit; place all public
parking in one location thereby limiting the amount of maneuvering
between sites.

SEPA Checklist
Please respond to all questions. Use separate sheets as necessary.
Applicant Responses:
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
Any additional vehicle maneuvering is likely to cause deletion of energy
resources.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
The best way would be to locate all required parking in one location to
prevent motorists from hunting for the closest spot to the facility.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or
areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as
parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitats,
historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
Within the City, environmentally sensitive sites are protected and this
proposed amendment is not likely to have an affect on those sites.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
NA
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it
would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
The proposed amendment is unlikely to change shoreline use. The
proposed amendment requires a conditional use for off -premises parking
for a specific use. The conditional use criteria contain performance
standards for traffic, pedestrian circulation, the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Agency Comments

SEPA Checklist
Please respond to all questions. Use separate sheets as necessary.
Applicant Responses:
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
Recommend that any off -premise parking be subject to a conditional use
review.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
service and utilities?
Not likely to increase demands
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
NA
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with Local, State, or Federal
laws or requirements for the protection of the environment.
The Zoning Code amendment is likely to have limited negative impact on
the environment and existing rules are in place to protect the environment.

18.56.070 Cooperative Parking Facility
A. SHARED PARKING: When two or more property owners agree to enter into a
shared parking agreement, the setbacks and landscaping requirements on their
common property line(s) may be waived with that land used for parking, driveway and/or
building.
B. COVENANT PARKING: When off -premises parking is provided on a lot other
than the lot of the use to which it is accessory, the following conditions shall apply:
1. Required off-street parking may be located off -premises when that parking
supply is required to meet the minimum number of off-street parking spaces (TMC
Section 18.56.050) and is provided as secondary to a principal use, except as allowed
by the Land Use Tables 18-2 and 18-6.
2. A covenant shall be executed between the owner or operator of the
principal use that the covenant parking will serve, the owner of the parking spaces, and
the City stating the responsibilities of the parties. This covenant and accompanying
legal descriptions of the principal use and the lot upon which the spaces are to be
located shall be recorded with King County, and a copy with the recording number and
parking layouts shall be submitted as part of any permit application for development.
3. The covenant lot must be within 800 feet of the primary commercial use or
a shuttle service to the use must be provided with its route, service and operations
approved by the Director.
C. When any Shared or Covenant parking agreement between parties, as
referenced above, is modified or terminated, the owner of the parking spaces shall be
responsible for notifying the Director. In this event, all affected parties shall provide
documentation that a minimum of 50% of the required minimum parking will be available
within 90 days following termination of the agreement, with the remainder to be
available 365 days following termination of the original agreement. If a variance is
sought, the application must be submitted within 14 days of the signed agreement to
terminate and the reduction in parking spaces will only be allowed if the variance is
approved.
D. COMPLEMENTARY PARKING: A complementary use is a portion of the
development that functions differently than the primary use but is designed to serve or
enhance the primary land use without creating additional parking needs for the primary
traffic generator. Up to 10% of the usable floor area of a building or facility may be
occupied by a complementary use without providing parking spaces in addition to the
number of spaces for the principal use. Examples of complementary uses include
pharmacies in hospitals or medical offices, food courts or restaurants in a shopping
center or retail establishments.
E. Applications for shared, covenant or complementary parking shall be processed
as Type 2 decisions, pursuant to TMC Section 18.108.020.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
To: Community Development and Neighborhoods
From: Jack Pace, Director Community Development
By: Moira Carr Bradshaw, Senior Planner
Copy: Mayor Ekberg
Date: October 2, 2018
Subject: Proposed Zoning Code Amendment related to required "off-street parking"
Issue
Should the City change the Zoning Code as relates to the location of required off-street
parking areas for municipal uses and police stations?
Background
The City is purchasing land for public parking for the Justice Center that is not adjacent to the
building but across a public street. The parking would be a stand along use on the property
and therefore not accessory to a building. There is discussion that the north parking lot
could be programmed with uses in addition to parking, but the principle use of the site would
be the required public parking for the Justice Center.
Discussion
The proposal is to modify the Zoning Code to allow off -premises parking as a conditional use
for municipal uses and police stations and to clarify the location standards for required off-
street parking.
1. Amend the Land Uses Allowed by District table (TMC Table 18-6) to allow as
conditional uses in most zones off -premises parking areas for municipal uses and
police stations.
2. Amend the off-street parking regulations Chapter (TMC 18.56) to clarify the
standards for the locating parking areas.
Changes to the City's development regulations are governed by the procedures of
"Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulations" chapter of the
Zoning Code (Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.80.) This proposed amendment was not on
the City's annual docket and is considered an emergency amendment that necessitates
expeditious action because it would preserve the welfare of the public, support the economic
well-being of the City, and address the absence of public facilities and services (TMC
18.80.020.)
This amendment was referred to the Planning Commission after the Community
Development and Neighborhoods Committee's public meeting on August 28, 2018.

Process
This proposed change is considered an emergency per the Docket section of the Code
(TMC 18.80.020 (A)) that necessitates expeditious action to support the economic well-
being of the City and is needed to address the potential absence and availability of a
public facility and services.
The City Council's Committee on Community Development and Neighborhoods held a
public meeting on August 28, 2018 and after consideration, referred amendment of the
development regulations to accommodate off -premises parking for the Justice Center to
the Planning Commission for further review and then a recommendation to the City
Council. (Attachment C)
Background
Amendments to the development regulations are governed by Chapter 18.80 of the
Zoning Code (Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.) City staff is requesting modification to
the Zoning Code to accommodate the proposed siting and design of the City's new
Justice Center.
Per the Code, the following information is required to accompany any proposed
amendments to the development regulations.
1. What is proposed and why?
The amendment is proposed because the City is purchasing land for a municipal
facility referred to as the Justice Center that will be located on the north and
south sides of S. 150th Street on the west side of Tukwila International Boulevard.
The schematic design for the Center is to use place the facility and staff parking
on the south side of S. 150th Street and the public/customer parking on the north
side of the street. The building will provide a facility for the Department of Police,
the Emergency Management Organization, and the Municipal Court and have
conference rooms available to the public on weekends and evenings. (TMC
18.80.010 (1))
2. What are the anticipated impacts?
The anticipated impacts of locating public parking for municipal courts and police
stations as a standalone use is limited as the proposed amendment only applies
to municipal courts and police stations.
3. Why are development regulations deficient?
The existing regulations limit the development of stand-alone parking Tots.
Traditional stand-alone parking Tots, such as Commercial Parking and Park n
Ride facilities, are listed as permitted or conditional uses in specific zones.
Otherwise all other off-street parking may only be located on a lot with a principal
use.
Page 2of4
6
4. How does the proposal promote the goals of the Growth Management Act?
The proposed amendment facilitates the siting of an essential public facility and
therefore would be supported by the Growth Management Act.
5. How does the proposed amendment comply with the applicable Countywide
Planning Policies?
The proposed amendment does not contradict the Countywide Planning Policies.
6. What changes would be required in functional plans?
No change is required in the City's functional plans due to this proposed
amendment.
7. What capital improvements would be needed to support the proposed change?
No capital improvements are directly required by the proposed zoning code
amendment.
8. What other changes are required to other City codes to implement the
amendment?
No other change is required to other City codes, plans or regulations to
implement the proposed change.
Discussion
The Council must consider (TMC 18.80.050(B)) the following in deciding what action to
take on a proposed amendment:
1. Is the issue already adequately addressed in the Comprehensive Plan?
The proposal is an amendment to the development regulations and not the
Comprehensive Plan.
2. If the issue is not addressed in the Comprehensive Plan, is there a public need for
the proposed change?
The size requirements for the City's essential public facility are over 3.5 acres. The
City's choice for the facility is in a neighborhood with relatively small Tots (9 were
purchased) thereby necessitating locating the facility over several blocks.
3. Is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public need?
The proposed changes limit the potential for stand-alone parking lots to municipal
offices and police stations and require a conditional use. A conditional use process
include public notice of surrounding property owners and residents and a public
hearing before a Hearing Examiner. The five criteria for conditional uses address
meeting the performance standards of the district in which the use will be located; be
Page 3 of 4
7
compatible with the surroundings; be in keeping with the goals and policies of the
Comp Plan; and include mitigating measures to minimize impacts.
4. Will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community?
The proposed changes limit the potential for stand along parking lots to municipal office
and police stations; requires a conditional use process before a stand -along parking
lot may be approved; and will allow the design and the construction of the Justice
Center to proceed on schedule.
Conclusions
Per the Committee's direction, staff was to limit the scope of the proposed changes.
Police stations are a conditional use in all zones except Tukwila Valley South. A
conditional use requires a public hearing and consideration of impacts and compliance
with performance criteria. Requiring a conditional use for the off -site parking would not
delay the review process for the use and would incorporate the issue and consideration
of off -site parking into the overall siting consideration for both the use and it's needed
parking.
Attachment A and B are excerpts from the City's Zoning Code showing language
additions and subtractions that would be required to implement changes that would
allow the proposed municipal facility to move forward.
Requested Action
Recommend approval of the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code to the City
Council.

18.56.065 Residential Parking and Storage Requirements
A. Parking and vehicle storage limitations on properties devoted to single-family residential use shall be as
follows:
1. Motor vehicles on property devoted to single-family residential use shall be parked on an approved
durable uniform surface that is designed to retain surface water on -site and without causing impacts. If necessary,
surface water may drain to street if no other design is feasible. Motor vehicles, other than those specified in TMC
Section 18.56.065.A.2, shall not be parked in setbacks except in front or secondary front -yard setbacks from streets,
when in a driveway that provides access to an approved parking location, and is in conformance with TMC Title 18, as
that title currently exists or as it may be subsequently amended. Parking in the rear setback for a single-family home
is permitted where the parking is connected to a rear alley.
2. Recreational vehicles, boats or trailers shall be parked, kept or stored on an approved durable uniform
surface and shall not be parked, kept or stored in required front yard setbacks, except for a driveway. Recreational
vehicle parking in the side or rear yard setbacks is allowed, provided no recreational vehicle is parked so as to prevent
access by emergency responders to all sides of a structure.
3. No more than 50% of the front yard or 800 square feet, whichever is smaller, may be approved durable
uniform surface. An approved durable uniform surface exceeding this requirement prior to August 25, 2004 may be
maintained, but shall not be expanded. The Director of Community Development may approve exceptions to this
requirement for an access driveway, particularly on pie -shaped or other odd shaped lots where it is infeasible to meet
this requirement.
4. Single-family properties on pre-existing, legal lots of record containing less than 6,500 square feet are
exempt from the percentages noted in TMC Section 18.56.065.A.3.

5. No more than six motor vehicles shall be parked on a single-family residential property of 13,000 square
feet or less outside of a carport or enclosed garage for a period of more than 48 hours. For purposes of this section,
"single-family residential property" means any parcel containing a single-family residence or multiple parcels combined
containing one single-family residence, typically identified by a single address located in the LDR zone. The parking
limitations in this subsection shall apply to all motor vehicles as defined by state law with the exception of motorcycles
and mopeds.
B. Each unit in a townhouse development shall have an attached garage with parking for at least one vehicle or
a parking space in an underground garage.
C. Waiver from the requirement for number of required stalls. The Director shall have the discretion to waive
the requirement to construct a portion of the off-street parking requirement if, based on a parking demand study, the
property owner establishes that the dwelling will be used primarily to house residents who do not and will not drive due
to a factor other than age. Such a study shall ensure that ample parking is provided for residents who can drive,
guests, caregivers and other persons who work at the residence. If such a waiver is granted, the property owner shall
provide a site plan, which demonstrates that in the event of a change of use that eliminates the reason for the waiver,
there is ample room on the site to provide the number of off-street parking spaces required by this Code. In the event
that a change of use or type of occupant is proposed that would alter the potential number of drivers living or working
at the dwelling, the application for change of use shall be conditioned on construction of any additional off-street parking
spaces required to meet the standards of this Code.

allowed by the Land Use Tables 18-2 and 18-6.
T2. TA covenant between the owner or operator of the principal use that the covenant oarkino will serve, the
owner of the parking spaces, and the City stating the responsibilities of the parties shall be executed. This
covenant and accompanying legal descriptions of the principal use and the lot upon which the spaces are to
be located shall be recorded with King County, and a copy with the recording number and parking layouts
shall be submitted as part of any permit application for development.
covenant lot must be within 800 feet of the primary commercial use or a shuttle service to the use
must be provided with its route, service and operations approved by the Director.
C. When any Shared or Covenant parking agreement between parties, as referenced above, is modified or
terminated, the owner of the parking spaces shall be responsible for notifying the Director. In this event, all affected
parties shall provide documentation that a minimum of 50% of the required minimum parking will be available within 90
days following termination of the agreement, with the remainder to be available 365 days following termination of the
original agreement. If a variance is sought, the application must be submitted within 14 days of the signed agreement
to terminate and the reduction in parking spaces will only be allowed if the variance is approved.
D. COMPLEMENTARY PARKING: A complementary use is a portion of the development that functions
differently than the primary use but is designed to serve or enhance the primary land use without creating additional
parking needs for the primary traffic generator. Up to 10% of the usable floor area of a building or facility may be
occupied by a complementary use without providing parking spaces in addition to the number of spaces for the principal
use. Examples of complementary uses include pharmacies in hospitals or medical offices, food courts or restaurants
in a shopping center or retail establishments.

that all impacts with reduced parking are mitigated. Any spillover parking which cannot be mitigated to the satisfaction
of the Director will serve as the basis for denial. A reduction may be allowed, pursuant to either an administrative
variance or requests to the Hearing Examiner, after:
a. All shared parking strategies are explored.
b. On -site park and ride opportunities are fully explored.
c. The site is in compliance with the City's commute trip reduction ordinance or, if not an affected
employer as defined by the City's ordinance, agrees to become affected.
d. The site is at least 300 feet away from a single-family residential zone.
e. A report is submitted providing a basis for less parking and mitigation necessary to offset any negative
effects.
C. Process:
1. An applicant shall submit evidence that decreased parking will not have a negative impact on surrounding
properties or potential future uses. This may take the form of a brief report for administrative variances. Decreases in
excess of 10% must be made to the Hearing Examiner. The Director may require additional studies to ensure that
negative impacts are properly mitigated. A complete and detailed Parking Demand Study is required for requests
reviewed by the Hearing Examiner.
2. All site characteristics should be described in the report, including:
a. Site accessibility for transit.
b. Site proximity to transit, with 15- to 30-minute headways.
c. Shared use of on -site parking.
d. Shared use of off -site parking.
e. Combined on -site parking.
f. Employee density.
g. Adjacent land uses.
D. Review: Applications for administrative variances for reductions below minimum parking requirements
between 1% and 10% shall be processed as Type 2 decisions, pursuant to TMC Section 18.108.020. Applications for
reductions from minimum parking requirements in excess of 10% shall be processed as Type 3 decisions, pursuant to
TMC Section 18.108.030, including a hearing before the Hearing Examiner.

I. BUSINESS AGENDA
Motion was made, seconded and carried, to move the presentation to the end of the agenda.
A. Off -Street Parking Amendment
*The proposed Justice Center design includes a parking area that is across South 150th Street from
the main building. This would be a standalone use, not accessory to the building, and therefore
not allowed per the Zoning Code. Staff is seeking Committee direction on whether or not to
forward the item to the Planning Commission to make a recommendation on modifying
regulations for required off-street parking areas to allow the City to use the parcels for the
Justice Center parking. A map of the proposed Justice Center layout was distributed. FORWARD
TO PLANNING COMMISSION.
B. Proposed 2019-2020 Biennial Budget
Staff presented proposed 2019-2020 budgets for the following departments and funds:
Parks and Recreation
To help balance the City's budget, the department is proposing reductions in the areas of extra
labor staffing, supplies, and professional services. Proposals include the elimination of the
Fourth of July event and No School Day camps and reduced service levels for Camp Tukwila,
senior events, adult basketball, and cooking classes.
Land Acquisition and Park Fund (Fund 301)
King County park levy funding is currently the main source for this fund, with three projects
scheduled in 2019/2020: Parks and Recreation Open Space Plan update, development of a
potential park, and final paving of Fort Dent parking lot.
Committee members asked clarifying questions about the proposed budgets. Chair Kruller
asked staff to make the formatting of the programs associated with Priority Based Budgeting
consistent across departments where possible. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 10, 2018

18.56.070 Cooperative Parking Facility
A. SHARED PARKING: When two or more property owners agree to enter into a
shared parking agreement, the setbacks and landscaping requirements on their
common property line(s) may be waived with that land used for parking, driveway and/or
building.
B. COVENANT PARKING: When off site premises parking is provided on a lot
other than the lot of the use to which it is accessory, the following conditions shall apply:
1. Required off-street parking may be located off -premises when that parking
supply is required to meet the minimum number of off-street parking spaces (TMC
Section 18.56.050) and is provided as secondary to a principal use, except as allowed
by the Land Use Tables 18-2 and 18-6.
4-2. A covenant shall be executed between the owner or operator of the
principal use that the covenant parking will serve, the owner of the parking spaces, and
the City stating the responsibilities of the parties . This covenant and
accompanying legal descriptions of the principal use and the lot upon which the spaces
are to be located shall be recorded with King County, and a copy with the recording
number and parking layouts shall be submitted as part of any permit application for
development.
23. The covenant lot must be within 800 feet of the primary commercial use or

approved by the Director.
C. When any Shared or Covenant parking agreement between parties, as
referenced above, is modified or terminated, the owner of the parking spaces shall be
responsible for notifying the Director. In this event, all affected parties shall provide
documentation that a minimum of 50% of the required minimum parking will be available
within 90 days following termination of the agreement, with the remainder to be

sought, the application must be submitted within 14 days of the signed agreement to
terminate and the reduction in parking spaces will only be allowed if the variance is
approved.
D. COMPLEMENTARY PARKING: A complementary use is a portion of the
development that functions differently than the primary use but is designed to serve or
enhance the primary land use without creating additional parking needs for the primary
traffic generator. Up to 10% of the usable floor area of a building or facility may be
occupied by a complementary use without providing parking spaces in addition to the
number of spaces for the principal use. Examples of complementary uses include
pharmacies in hospitals or medical offices, food courts or restaurants in a shopping
center or retail establishments.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
To: Community Development and Neighborhoods
From: Jack Pace, Director Community Development
By: Moira Carr Bradshaw, Senior Planner
Copy: Mayor Ekberg
Date: October 2, 2018
Subject: Proposed Zoning Code Amendment related to required "off-street parking"
Issue
Should the City change the Zoning Code as relates to the location of required off-street
parking areas for municipal uses and police stations?
Background
The City is purchasing land for public parking for the Justice Center that is not adjacent to the
building but across a public street. The parking would be a stand along use on the property
and therefore not accessory to a building. There is discussion that the north parking lot
could be programmed with uses in addition to parking, but the principle use of the site would
be the required public parking for the Justice Center.
Discussion
The proposal is to modify the Zoning Code to allow off -premises parking as a conditional use
for municipal uses and police stations and to clarify the location standards for required off-
street parking.
1. Amend the Land Uses Allowed by District table (TMC Table 18-6) to allow as
conditional uses in most zones off -premises parking areas for municipal uses and
police stations.
2. Amend the off-street parking regulations Chapter (TMC 18.56) to clarify the
standards for the locating parking areas.
Changes to the City's development regulations are governed by the procedures of
"Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulations" chapter of the
Zoning Code (Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.80.) This proposed amendment was not on
the City's annual docket and is considered an emergency amendment that necessitates
expeditious action because it would preserve the welfare of the public, support the economic
well-being of the City, and address the absence of public facilities and services (TMC
18.80.020.)
This amendment was referred to the Planning Commission after the Community
Development and Neighborhoods Committee's public meeting on August 28, 2018.

Process
This proposed change is considered an emergency per the Docket section of the Code
(TMC 18.80.020 (A)) that necessitates expeditious action to support the economic well-
being of the City and is needed to address the potential absence and availability of a
public facility and services.
The City Council's Committee on Community Development and Neighborhoods held a
public meeting on August 28, 2018 and after consideration, referred amendment of the
development regulations to accommodate off -premises parking for the Justice Center to
the Planning Commission for further review and then a recommendation to the City
Council. (Attachment C)
Background
Amendments to the development regulations are governed by Chapter 18.80 of the
Zoning Code (Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.) City staff is requesting modification to
the Zoning Code to accommodate the proposed siting and design of the City's new
Justice Center.
Per the Code, the following information is required to accompany any proposed
amendments to the development regulations.
1. What is proposed and why?
The amendment is proposed because the City is purchasing land for a municipal
facility referred to as the Justice Center that will be located on the north and
south sides of S. 150th Street on the west side of Tukwila International Boulevard.
The schematic design for the Center is to use place the facility and staff parking
on the south side of S. 150th Street and the public/customer parking on the north
side of the street. The building will provide a facility for the Department of Police,
the Emergency Management Organization, and the Municipal Court and have
conference rooms available to the public on weekends and evenings. (TMC
18.80.010 (1))
2. What are the anticipated impacts?
The anticipated impacts of locating public parking for municipal courts and police
stations as a standalone use is limited as the proposed amendment only applies
to municipal courts and police stations.
3. Why are development regulations deficient?
The existing regulations limit the development of stand-alone parking lots.
Traditional stand-alone parking Tots, such as Commercial Parking and Park n
Ride facilities, are listed as permitted or conditional uses in specific zones.
Otherwise all other off-street parking may only be located on a lot with a principal
use.
Page 2 of 4
24
4. How does the proposal promote the goals of the Growth Management Act?
The proposed amendment facilitates the siting of an essential public facility and
therefore would be supported by the Growth Management Act.
5. How does the proposed amendment comply with the applicable Countywide
Planning Policies?
The proposed amendment does not contradict the Countywide Planning Policies.
6. What changes would be required in functional plans?
No change is required in the City's functional plans due to this proposed
amendment.
7. What capital improvements would be needed to support the proposed change?
No capital improvements are directly required by the proposed zoning code
amendment.
8. What other changes are required to other City codes to implement the
amendment?
No other change is required to other City codes, plans or regulations to
implement the proposed change.
Discussion
The Council must consider (TMC 18.80.050(B)) the following in deciding what action to
take on a proposed amendment:
9. Is the issue already adequately addressed in the Comprehensive Plan?
The proposal is an amendment to the development regulations and not the
Comprehensive Plan.
2. If the issue is not addressed in the Comprehensive Plan, is there a public need for
the proposed change?
The size requirements for the City's essential public facility are over 3.5 acres. The
City's choice for the facility is in a neighborhood with relatively small lots (9 were
purchased) thereby necessitating locating the facility over several blocks.
3. Is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public need?
The proposed changes limit the potential for stand-alone parking lots to municipal
offices and police stations and require a conditional use. A conditional use process
include public notice of surrounding property owners and residents and a public
hearing before a Hearing Examiner. The five criteria for conditional uses address
meeting the performance standards of the district in which the use will be located; be
Page 3 of 4
25
compatible with the surroundings; be in keeping with the goals and policies of the
Comp Plan; and include mitigating measures to minimize impacts.
4. Will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community?
The proposed changes limit the potential for stand along parking lots to municipal office
and police stations; requires a conditional use process before a stand -along parking
lot may be approved; and will allow the design and the construction of the Justice
Center to proceed on schedule.
Conclusions
Per the Committee's direction, staff was to limit the scope of the proposed changes.
Police stations are a conditional use in all zones except Tukwila Valley South. A
conditional use requires a public hearing and consideration of impacts and compliance
with performance criteria. Requiring a conditional use for the off -site parking would not
delay the review process for the use and would incorporate the issue and consideration
of off -site parking into the overall siting consideration for both the use.and it's needed
parking.
Attachment A and B are excerpts from the City's Zoning Code showing language
additions and subtractions that would be required to implement changes that would
allow the proposed municipal facility to move forward.
Requested Action
Recommend approval of the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code to the City
Council.

A. Parking and vehicle storage limitations on properties devoted to single-family residential use shall be as
follows:
1. Motor vehicles on property devoted to single-family residential use shall be parked on an approved
durable uniform surface that is designed to retain surface water on -site and without causing impacts. If necessary,
surface water may drain to street if no other design is feasible. Motor vehicles, other than those specified in TMC
Section 18.56.065.A.2, shall not be parked in setbacks except in front or secondary front -yard setbacks from streets,
when in a driveway that provides access to an approved parking location, and is in conformance with TMC Title 18, as
that title currently exists or as it may be subsequently amended. Parking in the rear setback for a single-family home
is permitted where the parking is connected to a rear alley.
2. Recreational vehicles, boats or trailers shall be parked, kept or stored on an approved durable uniform
surface and shall not be parked, kept or stored in required front yard setbacks, except for a driveway. Recreational

limitations in this subsection shall apply to all motor vehicles as defined by state law with the exception of motorcycles
and mopeds.
B. Each unit in a townhouse development shall have an attached garage with parking for at least one vehicle or
a parking space in an underground garage.
C. Waiver from the requirement for number of required stalls. The Director shall have the discretion to waive
the requirement to construct a portion of the off-street parking requirement if, based on a parking demand study, the
property owner establishes that the dwelling will be used primarily to house residents who do not and will not drive due
to a factor other than age. Such a study shall ensure that ample parking is provided for residents who can drive,
guests, caregivers and other persons who work at the residence. If such a waiver is granted, the property owner shall
provide a site plan, which demonstrates that in the event of a change of use that eliminates the reason for the waiver,
there is ample room on the site to provide the number of off-street parking spaces required by this Code. In the event
that a change of use or type of occupant is proposed that would alter the potential number of drivers living or working
at the dwelling, the application for change of use shall be conditioned on construction of any additional off-street parking
spaces required to meet the standards of this Code.

18.56.040 General Requirements
Any required off-street parking and loading facilities shall be developed in
accordance with the following standards:
1. LOCATION.
a. Any required off-street parking shall be accessory to a primary use
except as allowed by the Land Use Tables 18-2 and 18-6;
b. Additionally, off -premises parking areas shall be subject to compliance
with the covenant parking standards in TMC Section 18.56.070, "Cooperative Parking
Facility."
2. PARKING DIMENSIONS. Minimum parking area dimensions for surface
and structured parking facilities shall be as provided in Figure 18-6. Standard and
compact parking stalls shall be allowed a two -foot landscaping overhang to count
towards the stall length.
3. TANDEM PARKING SPACES. In the MDR and HDR zones, tandem
spaces (where one car is parked directly behind another) will be allowed for each three
bedroom and 1/3 of all two bedroom units. No more than 1/3 of all project parking
spaces may be tandem and all tandem parking spaces will be designed for full size
rather than compact size vehicles based on the dimensions in Figure 18-6.
4. PARKING AREA AND PARKING AREA ENTRANCE AND EXIT SLOPES.
The slope of off-street parking spaces shall not exceed 5%. The slope of entrance and
exit driveways providing access for off-street parking areas and internal driveway aisles
without parking stalls shall not exceed 15%.
5. DRIVEWAYS AND MANEUVERABILITY.
a. Adequate ingress to and egress from each parking space shall be
provided without moving another vehicle and without backing more than 50 feet.
b. Turning and maneuvering space shall be located entirely on private
property unless specifically approved by the Public Works Director.
c. All parking spaces shall be internally accessible to one another without
reentering adjoining public streets. This standard does not apply to single family,
duplex, triplex, fourplex or townhouse uses- or where cooperative parking is approved.
d. When off-street parking is provided in the rear of a building and a
driveway or lane alongside the building provides access to rear parking area, such
driveway shall require a minimum width of twelve feet and a sidewalk of at least a three-
foot section, adjoining the building, curbed or raised six inches above the driveway
surface. This standard does not apply to single family, duplex, triplex, fourplex or
townhouse uses.
e. Ingress and egress to any off-street parking lot shall not be located
closer than 20 feet from point of tangent to an intersection.
W: Word Processing\Ordinances\Off-street parking regulations updated strike-thru 9-19-18.doc
MB:bjs
Page 3 of 6 55
f. The Public Works Director or the Community Development Director
may require ingress separate from an egress for smoother and safer flow of traffic.
6. The Director may require areas not designed or approved for parking to be
appropriately marked and/or signed to prevent parking.
7. SURFACE.
a. The surface of any required off-street parking or loading facility shall be
paved with permeable pavement, which is the preferred material, or asphalt, concrete or
other similar approved material(s) that maintains a durable uniform surface and shall be
graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water, but not across sidewalks.
b. Any parking stalls provided in excess of the required minimum shall
use permeable pavement where technically feasible in accordance with the Surface
Water Design Manual, adopted in accordance with TMC Chapter 14.30.
c. All traffic -control devices, such as parking stripes designating car
stalls, directional arrows or signs, bull rails, curbs and other developments shall be
installed and completed as shown on the approved plans.
d. Paved parking areas shall use paint or similar devices to delineate car
stalls and direction of traffic.
e. Where pedestrian walks are used in parking Tots for the use of foot
traffic only, they shall be curbed or raised six inches above the lot surface.
f. Wheel stops shall be required on the periphery of parking lots so cars
will not protrude into the public right-of-way, walkways, off the parking lot or strike
buildings. Wheel stops shall be two feet from the end of the stall of head -in parking.
8. PARALLEL PARKING STALLS. Parallel parking stalls shall be designed
so that doors of vehicles do not open onto the public right-of-way.
9. OBSTRUCTIONS. No obstruction that would restrict car door opening
shall be permitted within five feet of the centerline of a parking space.
10. LIGHTING. Any lighting on a parking lot shall illuminate only the parking
lot, designed to avoid undue glare or reflection on adjoining premises.
11. CURB -CUTS. All parking areas shall have specific entrance and/or exit
areas to the street. The width of access roads and curb -cuts shall be determined by the
Public Works Director. The edge of the curb -cut or access road shall be as required by
the Public Works Director for safe movement of vehicles or pedestrians. Curb -cuts in
single-family districts shall be limited to a maximum of 20 feet in width and the location
shall be approved by the Public Works Director.
12. PARKING STALL. Parking stalls shall not be used for permanent or semi-
permanent parking or storage of trucks or materials.
Section 3. TMC Section 18.56.070 Amended. Ordinance Nos. 1795 §2 (part) and

18.56.070 Cooperative Parking Facility
A. SHARED PARKING: When two or more property owners agree to enter into a
shared parking agreement, the setbacks and landscaping requirements on their
common property line(s) may be waived with that land used for parking, driveway and/or
building.
B. COVENANT PARKING: When off site premises parking is provided on a lot
other than the lot of the use to which it is accessory, the following conditions shall apply:
1. Required off-street parking may be located off -premises when that parking
supply is required to meet the minimum number of off-street parking spaces (TMC
Section 18.56.050) and is provided as secondary to a principal use, except as allowed
by the Land Use Tables 18-2 and 18-6.
42. A covenant shall be executed between the owner or operator of the
principal use that the covenant parking will serve, the owner of the parking spaces, and
the City stating the responsibilities of the parties . This covenant and
accompanying legal descriptions of the principal use and the lot upon which the spaces
are to be located shall be recorded with King County, and a copy with the recording
number and parking layouts shall be submitted as part of any permit application for
development.
23. The covenant lot must be within 800 feet of the primary commercial use or
a shuttle service to the use must be provided with its route, service and operations
approved by the Director.
C. When any Shared or Covenant parking agreement between parties, as
referenced above, is modified or terminated, the owner of the parking spaces shall be
responsible for notifying the Director. In this event, all affected parties shall provide
documentation that a minimum of 50% of the required minimum parking will be available
within 90 days following termination of the agreement, with the remainder to be
available 365 days following termination of the original agreement. If a variance is
sought, the application must be submitted within 14 days of the signed agreement to
terminate and the reduction in parking spaces will only be allowed if the variance is
approved.
D. COMPLEMENTARY PARKING: A complementary use is a portion of the
development that functions differently than the primary use but is designed to serve or
enhance the primary land use without creating additional parking needs for the primary
traffic generator. Up to 10% of the usable floor area of a building or facility may be
occupied by a complementary use without providing parking spaces in addition to the
number of spaces for the principal use. Examples of complementary uses include
pharmacies in hospitals or medical offices, food courts or restaurants in a shopping
center or retail establishments.
E. Applications for shared, covenant or complementary parking shall be processed
as Type 2 decisions, pursuant to TMC Section 18.108.020.

The City Council's Committee on Community Development and Neighborhoods held a
public meeting on August 28, 2018 and after consideration, referred amendment of the
development regulations to accommodate off -premises parking for the Justice Center to
the Planning Commission for further review and then a recommendation to the City
Council. (Attachment C)
Background
Amendments to the development regulations are governed by Chapter 18.80 of the
Zoning Code (Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.) City staff is requesting modification to
the Zoning Code to accommodate the proposed siting and design of the City's new
Justice Center.
Per the Code, the following information is required to accompany any proposed
amendments to the development regulations.
1. What is proposed and why?
The amendment is proposed because the City is purchasing land for a municipal
facility referred to as the Justice Center that will be located on the north and
south sides of S. 150th Street on the west side of Tukwila International Boulevard.
The schematic design for the Center is to use place the facility and staff parking
on the south side of S. 150th Street and the public/customer parking on the north
side of the street. The building will provide a facility for the Department of Police,
the Emergency Management Organization, and the Municipal Court and have
conference rooms available to the public on weekends and evenings. (TMC
18.80.010 (1))
2. What are the anticipated impacts?
The anticipated impacts of locating public parking for municipal courts and police
stations as a standalone use is limited as the proposed amendment only applies
to municipal courts and police stations.
3. Why are development regulations deficient?
The existing regulations limit the development of stand-alone parking lots.
Traditional stand-alone parking lots, such as Commercial Parking and Park n
Ride facilities, are listed as permitted or conditional uses in specific zones.
Otherwise all other off-street parking may only be located on a lot with a principal
use.

4. How does the proposal promote the goals of the Growth Management Act?
The proposed amendment facilitates the siting of an essential public facility and
therefore would be supported by the Growth Management Act.
5. How does the proposed amendment comply with the applicable Countywide
Planning Policies?
The proposed amendment does not contradict the Countywide Planning Policies.
6. What changes would be required in functional plans?
No change is required in the City's functional plans due to this proposed
amendment.
7. What capital improvements would be needed to support the proposed change?
No capital improvements are directly required by the proposed zoning code
amendment.
8. What other changes are required to other City codes to implement the
amendment?
No other change is required to other City codes, plans or regulations to
implement the proposed change.
Discussion
The Council must consider (TMC 18.80.050(B)) the following in deciding what action to
take on a proposed amendment:
1. Is the issue already adequately addressed in the Comprehensive Plan?
The proposal is an amendment to the development regulations and not the
Comprehensive Plan.
2. If the issue is not addressed in the Comprehensive Plan, is there a public need for
the proposed change?
The size requirements for the City's essential public facility are over 3.5 acres. The
City's choice for the facility is in a neighborhood with relatively small lots (9 were
purchased) thereby necessitating locating the facility over several blocks.
3. Is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public need?
The proposed changes limit the potential for stand-alone parking lots to municipal
offices and police stations and require a conditional use. A conditional use process
include public notice of surrounding property owners and residents and a public
hearing before a Hearing Examiner. The five criteria for conditional uses address
meeting the performance standards of the district in which the use will be located; be
Page 3 of 4
99
compatible with the surroundings; be in keeping with the goals and policies of the
Comp Plan; and include mitigating measures to minimize impacts.
4. Will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community?
The proposed changes limit the potential for stand along parking lots to municipal office
and police stations; requires a conditional use process before a stand -along parking
lot may be approved; and will allow the design and the construction of the Justice
Center to proceed on schedule.
Conclusions
Per the Committee's direction, staff was to limit the scope of the proposed changes.
Police stations are a conditional use in all zones except Tukwila Valley South. A
conditional use requires a public hearing and consideration of impacts and compliance
with performance criteria. Requiring a conditional use for the off -site parking would not
delay the review process for the use and would incorporate the issue and consideration
of off -site parking into the overall siting consideration for both the use and it's needed
parking.
Attachment A and B are excerpts from the City's Zoning Code showing language
additions and subtractions that would be required to implement changes that would
allow the proposed municipal facility to move forward.
Requested Action
Recommend approval of the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code to the City
Council.

trucks, or a 12-foot by 65-foot loading space with 14-foot height clearance for large trucks, including tractor -trailer.
These requirements may be modified as a Type 1 decision, where the Community Development Director finds that
such reduction will not result in injury to neighboring property, or obstruction of fire lanes/traffic, and will be in harmony
with the purposes and intent of this chapter.
(Ord. 2368 §56, 2012; Ord. 1795 §2 (part), 1997;
Ord. 1770 §33, 1996; Ord. 1758 §1 (part), 1995)
18.56.065 Residential Parking and Storage Requirements
A. Parking and vehicle storage limitations on properties devoted to single-family residential use shall be as
follows:
1. Motor vehicles on property devoted to single-family residential use shall be parked on an approved
durable uniform surface that is designed to retain surface water on -site and without causing impacts. If necessary,
surface water may drain to street if no other design is feasible. Motor vehicles, other than those specified in TMC
Section 18.56.065.A.2, shall not be parked in setbacks except in front or secondary front -yard setbacks from streets,
when in a driveway that provides access to an approved parking location, and is in conformance with TMC Title 18, as
that title currently exists or as it may be subsequently amended. Parking in the rear setback for a single-family home
is permitted where the parking is connected to a rear alley.
2. Recreational vehicles, boats or trailers shall be parked, kept or stored on an approved durable uniform
surface and shall not be parked, kept or stored in required front yard setbacks, except for a driveway. Recreational
vehicle parking in the side or rear yard setbacks is allowed, provided no recreational vehicle is parked so as to prevent
access by emergency responders to all sides of a structure.
3. No more than 50% of the front yard or 800 square feet, whichever is smaller, may be approved durable
uniform surface. An approved durable uniform surface exceeding this requirement prior to August 25, 2004 may be
maintained, but shall not be expanded. The Director of Community Development may approve exceptions to this
requirement for an access driveway, particularly on pie -shaped or other odd shaped lots where it is infeasible to meet
this requirement.
4. Single-family properties on pre-existing, legal Tots of record containing less than 6,500 square feet are
exempt from the percentages noted in TMC Section 18.56.065.A.3.
Page 3 of 7
115
Attachment B
5. No more than six motor vehicles shall be parked on a single-family residential property of 13,000 square
feet or less outside of a carport or enclosed garage for a period of more than 48 hours. For purposes of this section,
"single-family residential property" means any parcel containing a single-family residence or multiple parcels combined
containing one single-family residence, typically identified by a single address located in the LDR zone. The parking
limitations in this subsection shall apply to all motor vehicles as defined by state law with the exception of motorcycles
and mopeds.
B. Each unit in a townhouse development shall have an attached garage with parking for at least one vehicle or
a parking space in an underground garage.
C. Waiver from the requirement for number of required stalls. The Director shall have the discretion to waive
the requirement to construct a portion of the off-street parking requirement if, based on a parking demand study, the
property owner establishes that the dwelling will be used primarily to house residents who do not and will not drive due
to a factor other than age. Such a study shall ensure that ample parking is provided for residents who can drive,
guests, caregivers and other persons who work at the residence. If such a waiver is granted, the property owner shall
provide a site plan, which demonstrates that in the event of a change of use that eliminates the reason for the waiver,
there is ample room on the site to provide the number of off-street parking spaces required by this Code. In the event
that a change of use or type of occupant is proposed that would alter the potential number of drivers living or working
at the dwelling, the application for change of use shall be conditioned on construction of any additional off-street parking
spaces required to meet the standards of this Code.
(Ord. 2518 §14, 2016; Ord. 2368 §57, 2012; Ord. 2199 §19, 2008;
Ord. 1976 §62, 2001)
18.56.070 Cooperative Parking Facility
A. SHARED PARKING: When two or more property owners agree to enter into a shared parking agreement,
the setbacks and landscaping requirements on their common property line(s) may be waived with that land used for
parking, driveway and/or building.
B. COVENANT PARKING: When off -site -premises parking is provided on a lot other than the lot of the use to
which it is accessory, the following conditions shall apply:
1. Off-street parking that is required for a principal use may be located off premises
principal -use when that parking supply is required to meet the minimum number of off-street parking spaces
(TMC 18.56.050); and provided it is accessory to a primary use (not a stand-alone parking area) unless
allowed by the Land Use Tables 18-2 and 18-6.
2.1--A covenant between the owner or operator of the principal use that the covenant parking will serve, the
owner of the parking spaces, and the City stating the responsibilities of the parties shall be executed. This
covenant and accompanying legal descriptions of the principal use and the lot upon which the spaces are to
be located shall be recorded with King County, and a copy with the recording number and parking layouts
shall be submitted as part of any permit application for development.
The covenant lot must be within 800 feet of the primary commercial use or a shuttle service to the use
must be provided with its route, service and operations approved by the Director.
C. When any Shared or Covenant parking agreement between parties, as referenced above, is modified or
terminated, the owner of the parking spaces shall be responsible for notifying the Director. In this event, all affected
parties shall provide documentation that a minimum of 50% of the required minimum parking will be available within 90
days following termination of the agreement, with the remainder to be available 365 days following termination of the
original agreement. If a variance is sought, the application must be submitted within 14 days of the signed agreement
to terminate and the reduction in parking spaces will only be allowed if the variance is approved.
D. COMPLEMENTARY PARKING: A complementary use is a portion of the development that functions
differently than the primary use but is designed to serve or enhance the primary land use without creating additional
parking needs for the primary traffic generator. Up to 10% of the usable floor area of a building or facility may be
occupied by a complementary use without providing parking spaces in addition to the number of spaces for the principal
use. Examples of complementary uses include pharmacies in hospitals or medical offices, food courts or restaurants
in a shopping center or retail establishments.

18.56.140 Administrative Variance from Parking Standards
A. General:
1. A request for an administrative variance from required parking standards must be received prior to any
issuance of building or engineering permits. Administrative variances are only eligible for requests for reductions of
required parking between 1% and 10%. Requests for reductions from minimum parking standards in excess of 10%
must be made to the Hearing Examiner.
2. The project developer shall present all findings to the Director prior to any final approvals, including design
review, conditional use permit review, building review or any other permit reviews required by the Director.
B. Criteria:
1. All requests for reductions in parking shall be reviewed under the criteria established in this section.
2. In addition to the following requirements, the Director may require specific measures not listed to ensure
that all impacts with reduced parking are mitigated. Any spillover parking which cannot be mitigated to the satisfaction
of the Director will serve as the basis for denial. A reduction may be allowed, pursuant to either an administrative
variance or requests to the Hearing Examiner, after:
a. All shared parking strategies are explored.
b. On -site park and ride opportunities are fully explored.
c. The site is in compliance with the City's commute trip reduction ordinance or, if not an affected
employer as defined by the City's ordinance, agrees to become affected.
d. The site is at least 300 feet away from a single-family residential zone.
e. A report is submitted providing a basis for less parking and mitigation necessary to offset any negative
effects.
C. Process:
1. An applicant shall submit evidence that decreased parking will not have a negative impact on surrounding
properties or potential future uses. This may take the form of a brief report for administrative variances. Decreases in
excess of 10% must be made to the Hearing Examiner. The Director may require additional studies to ensure that
negative impacts are properly mitigated. A complete and detailed Parking Demand Study is required for requests
reviewed by the Hearing Examiner.
2. All site characteristics should be described in the report, including:
a. Site accessibility for transit.
b. Site proximity to transit, with 15- to 30-minute headways.
c. Shared use of on -site parking.
d. Shared use of off -site parking.
e. Combined on -site parking.
f. Employee density.
g. Adjacent land uses.
D. Review: Applications for administrative variances for reductions below minimum parking requirements
between 1% and 10% shall be processed as Type 2 decisions, pursuant to TMC Section 18.108.020. Applications for
reductions from minimum parking requirements in excess of 10% shall be processed as Type 3 decisions, pursuant to
TMC Section 18.108.030, including a hearing before the Hearing Examiner.

Fourth of July event and No School Day camps and reduced service levels for Camp Tukwila,
senior events, adult basketball, and cooking classes.
Land Acquisition and Park Fund (Fund 301)
King County park levy funding is currently the main source for this fund, with three projects
scheduled in 2019/2020: Parks and Recreation Open Space Plan update, development of a
potential park, and final paving of Fort Dent parking lot.
Committee members asked clarifying questions about the proposed budgets. Chair Kruller

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
To: Community Development and Neighborhoods
From: Jack Pace, Director Community Development
By: Moira Carr Bradshaw
Copy: Mayor Ekberg
Date: August 15, 2018
Subject: Proposed Zoning Code Amendment related to required "off-street parking"
Issue
Should the City consider changes to the Zoning Code as relates to the location of required
off-street parking areas?
Background
The City is purchasing land for public parking for the Justice Center that is across a public
street from the building. The parking would be a stand-alone use on the off -site property
and therefore not accessory to a building. There is discussion that the north parking lot
could be programmed with uses in addition to parking, but the principle use of the site would
be the required public parking for the Justice Center.
Discussion
The Zoning Code's Land Use Table lists parking areas as permitted accessory uses in all
zones. (Attachment A) The Code's definition of an accessory use is: a use incidental and
subordinate to the principal use and located on the same lot or in the same building as the
principal use. (TMC 18.06.870)
In addition to allowing parking as an accessory use, the off-street parking regulations allow
parking on another site from the principal use through covenant parking. Covenant parking
means that a recording is made on the land's title stipulating that a specific number of stalls
must remain in place for an off -site use. Covenant parking (TMC 18.56.070(B)) is limited to a
distance of no more than 800 feet unless a shuttle service is provided; however, there must
be a principle use of the land other than parking.
Financial Impact - None
Recommendation
Forward the issue to Planning Commission for a recommendation on modifications to
regulations for required off-street parking areas to allow the City to use the parcels to north of
S. 150th Street for required off-street parking for the Justice Center.

See Table 18-2 for uses allowed in TUC and Figure 18-1 for uses allowed in Shoreline.
For properties zoned LDR, MDR and HDR that are designated as Commercial Redevelopment Areas (see figure 18-9 or 18-10), the uses and development standards of
the adjacent commercial zone are permitted and shall apply, subject to the specific criteria and procedures defined in TMC 18.60.060

freedom of traffic movement on streets or alleys. For all office, commercial, and industrial uses, each loading space
shall consist of at least a 10-foot by 30-foot loading space with 14-foot height clearance for small trucks such as pickup
trucks, or a 12-foot by 65-foot loading space with 14-foot height clearance for large trucks, including tractor -trailer.
These requirements may be modified as a Type 1 decision, where the Community Development Director finds that
such reduction will not result in injury to neighboring property, or obstruction of fire lanes/traffic, and will be in harmony
with the purposes and intent of this chapter.
(Ord. 2368 §56, 2012; Ord. 1795 §2 (part), 1997;
Ord. 1770 §33, 1996; Ord. 1758 §1 (part), 1995)
18.56.065 Residential Parking and Storage Requirements
A. Parking and vehicle storage limitations on properties devoted to single-family residential use shall be as
follows:
1. Motor vehicles on property devoted to single-family residential use shall be parked on an approved
durable uniform surface that is designed to retain surface water on -site and without causing impacts. If necessary,
surface water may drain to street if no other design is feasible. Motor vehicles, other than those specified in TMC
Section 18.56.065.A.2, shall not be parked in setbacks except in front or secondary front -yard setbacks from streets,
when in a driveway that provides access to an approved parking location, and is in conformance with TMC Title 18, as
that title currently exists or as it may be subsequently amended. Parking in the rear setback for a single-family home
is permitted where the parking is connected to a rear alley.
2. Recreational vehicles, boats or trailers shall be parked, kept or stored on an approved durable uniform
surface and shall not be parked, kept or stored in required front yard setbacks, except for a driveway. Recreational
vehicle parking in the side or rear yard setbacks is allowed, provided no recreational vehicle is parked so as to prevent
access by emergency responders to all sides of a structure.
3. No more than 50% of the front yard or 800 square feet, whichever is smaller, may be approved durable
uniform surface. An approved durable uniform surface exceeding this requirement prior to August 25, 2004 may be
maintained, but shall not be expanded. The Director of Community Development may approve exceptions to this
requirement for an access driveway, particularly on pie -shaped or other odd shaped Tots where it is infeasible to meet
this requirement.
4. Single-family properties on pre-existing, legal lots of record containing less than 6,500 square feet are
exempt from the percentages noted in TMC Section 18.56.065.A.3.
Page 3 of 7
Attachment B
5. No more than six motor vehicles shall be parked on a single-family residential property of 13,000 square
feet or less outside of a carport or enclosed garage for a period of more than 48 hours. For purposes of this section,
"single-family residential property" means any parcel containing a single-family residence or multiple parcels combined
containing one single-family residence, typically identified by a single address located in the LDR zone. The parking
limitations in this subsection shall apply to all motor vehicles as defined by state law with the exception of motorcycles
and mopeds.
B. Each unit in a townhouse development shall have an attached garage with parking for at least one vehicle or
a parking space in an underground garage.
C. Waiver from the requirement for number of required stalls. The Director shall have the discretion to waive
the requirement to construct a portion of the off-street parking requirement if, based on a parking demand study, the
property owner establishes that the dwelling will be used primarily to house residents who do not and will not drive due
to a factor other than age. Such a study shall ensure that ample parking is provided for residents who can drive,
guests, caregivers and other persons who work at the residence. If such a waiver is granted, the property owner shall
provide a site plan, which demonstrates that in the event of a change of use that eliminates the reason for the waiver,
there is ample room on the site to provide the number of off-street parking spaces required by this Code. In the event
that a change of use or type of occupant is proposed that would alter the potential number of drivers living or working
at the dwelling, the application for change of use shall be conditioned on construction of any additional off-street parking
spaces required to meet the standards of this Code.
(Ord. 2518 §14, 2016; Ord. 2368 §57, 2012; Ord. 2199 §19, 2008;
Ord. 1976 §62, 2001)
18.56.070 Cooperative Parking Facility
A. SHARED PARKING: When two or more property owners agree to enter into a shared parking agreement,
the setbacks and landscaping requirements on their common property line(s) may be waived with that land used for
parking, driveway and/or building.
B. COVENANT PARKING: When off -site -premises parking is provided on a lot other than the lot of the use to
which it is accessory, the following conditions shall apply:
1. Off-street parking that is required for a principal use may be located off premises
princieal-use when that parking supply is required to meet the minimum number of off-street parking spaces
(TMC 18.56.050); and provided it is accessory to a primary use (not a stand-alone parking area) unless
allowed by the Land Use Tables 18-2 and 18-6.
4 2. 4—A covenant between the owner or operator of the principal use that the covenant parking will serve, the
owner of the parking spaces, and the City stating the responsibilities of the parties shall be executed. This
covenant and accompanying legal descriptions of the principal use and the lot upon which the spaces are to
be located shall be recorded with King County, and a copy with the recording number and parking layouts
shall be submitted as part of any permit application for development.
2 3. 2 The covenant lot must be within 800 feet of the primary commercial use or a shuttle service to the use
must be provided with its route, service and operations approved by the Director.
C. When any Shared or Covenant parking agreement between parties, as referenced above, is modified or
terminated, the owner of the parking spaces shall be responsible for notifying the Director. In this event, all affected
parties shall provide documentation that a minimum of 50% of the required minimum parking will be available within 90
days following termination of the agreement, with the remainder to be available 365 days following termination of the
original agreement. If a variance is sought, the application must be submitted within 14 days of the signed agreement
to terminate and the reduction in parking spaces will only be allowed if the variance is approved.
D. COMPLEMENTARY PARKING: A complementary use is a portion of the development that functions
differently than the primary use but is designed to serve or enhance the primary land use without creating additional
parking needs for the primary traffic generator. Up to 10% of the usable floor area of a building or facility may be
occupied by a complementary use without providing parking spaces in addition to the number of spaces for the principal
use. Examples of complementary uses include pharmacies in hospitals or medical offices, food courts or restaurants
in a shopping center or retail establishments.

required parking between 1% and 10%. Requests for reductions from minimum parking standards in excess of 10%
must be made to the Hearing Examiner.
2. The project developer shall present all findings to the Director prior to any final approvals, including design
review, conditional use permit review, building review or any other permit reviews required by the Director.
B. Criteria:
1. All requests for reductions in parking shall be reviewed under the criteria established in this section.
2. In addition to the following requirements, the Director may require specific measures not listed to ensure
that all impacts with reduced parking are mitigated. Any spillover parking which cannot be mitigated to the satisfaction
of the Director will serve as the basis for denial. A reduction may be allowed, pursuant to either an administrative
variance or requests to the Hearing Examiner, after:
a. All shared parking strategies are explored.
b. On -site park and ride opportunities are fully explored.
c. The site is in compliance with the City's commute trip reduction ordinance or, if not an affected
employer as defined by the City's ordinance, agrees to become affected.

e. A report is submitted providing a basis for less parking and mitigation necessary to offset any negative
effects.
C. Process:
1. An applicant shall submit evidence that decreased parking will not have a negative impact on surrounding
properties or potential future uses. This may take the form of a brief report for administrative variances. Decreases in
excess of 10% must be made to the Hearing Examiner. The Director may require additional studies to ensure that
negative impacts are properly mitigated. A complete and detailed Parking Demand Study is required for requests
reviewed by the Hearing Examiner.
2. All site characteristics should be described in the report, including:
a. Site accessibility for transit.
b. Site proximity to transit, with 15- to 30-minute headways.
