TUKWILA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTERS 19.12 AND 19.28 AND ALLOWING
FOR THE RELOCATION OF AN EXISTING NONCONFORMING
COMMERCIAL SIGN LOCATED AT 3742 SOUTH 144TH STREET PACIFIC
HIGHWAY SOUTH.
WHEREAS, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has determined
that certain improvements to the intersection of SR 99 and South 144th Street are necessary; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that in order to effect these improvements, it is necessary
to acquire right of way and relocate a sign at the business known as KFC, located at 3742 South 144th
Street; and
WHEREAS, the sign is currently classified as non conforming, and in accordance with
Chapters 19.12.010 and 19.28.030 of the Tukwila Municipal Code, any non conforming sign that is
relocated must be altered to allow for compliance; and
WHEREAS, no action would be necessary except for WSDOT's and the City's need for this
property for a valuable public purpose; and
WHEREAS, it would be contrary to public policy and cause undue financial hardship to the
property owner to strictly apply Tukwila Municipal Codes Chapters 19.12 and 19.28 to a pre existing
conforming sign being moved on the behest of the City and State; and
WHEREAS, the relocation of the sign is for the public welfare, safety and benefit, and is not
initiated by or on behalf of the business or property owner,
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, DO HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
The Department of Community Development is hereby authorized to grant a permit for
relocation of the free standing existing sign at the southeast corner of the KFC property located at
South 144th Street and SR99. Relocation shall be an administrative variance to the Tukwila
Municipal Code and will not be required to strictly comply with the criteria as specified in Chapter
19 of the Tukwila Municipal Code due to the compelling public policy reasons stated above.
PASSED BY THE
