Tukwila City Council
14475 59th Ave. South
Tukwila, Washington 98067
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the authority of R.C.W. 35.24.210, I hereby veto Ordinance 978
passed by you on June 21, 1976, for the following reasons:
1. Density
Section 2 c limits the density to 104 units; however
this. density of 40 units per acre is excessive and
exceeds all other apartment developments in the city
but one regardless of the zoning.
2. Open Space
Section 2 f provides for 30 percent open space in the
development; however, it did not define "open space
Does "open space" include:
Parking lots?
Sidewalks?
Driveways?
Swimming pools and filter buildings?
Retaining structures such., as a rockery?
Although the ordinance provided for approval of the
site, elevation, basic floor and landscaping plans
prior to development, no guidelines were given for
this new concept of open space.
3. Height Restrictions
The definition of first level parking spaces or basement
spaces, as it applies to the total story limitation of
R -4 zoning, as well as where height is measured from on
the ground, is undefined in the building codes and
could cause confusion when applied to this rezone.

4. Adjacent Zoning
The rezone is incompatable with adjacent zoning and
will have an impact on future composition of the
surrounding area.
In view of the above reasons, I am returning Ordinance 978 for reconsideration.
I feel that any future development that has more than 28 units per acre is
not in the best interest of the city and its citizens. I also feel that
this density must be defined in a manner that is clear and unambiguous.
Sincerely yours, o
ri a
