NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings.
Information on eight selected community centers showing an average parking demand
of one space per 208 square feet was presented at the City Council public hearing. This is
lower than the one space per 100 square feet now required for general places of public
assembly in the Tukwila Zoning Code (TMC 18.56.050), and
The City of Tukwila, as the elected representatives of its residents and the authority
directly responsible for maintaining the neighborhood quality, life, safety and welfare, has a
higher sensitivity to off -site parking impacts on its neighborhoods than other organizations
which do not have such direct responsibility; and
The City of Tukwila does not rely upon facility revenues to finance facility
development nor require a profit, as do the many "community center" operators, and unlike
such operators, will place maintaining neighborhood quality above all other considerations.
