Section 55.73 – GENERAL REGULATIONS

The following regulations apply to all uses in this zone unless otherwise noted:

1.    Refer to Chapter 1 KZC to determine what other provisions of this code may apply to the subject property.

2.    If any portion of a structure is adjoining a low density zone, then either:

a.    The height of that portion of the structure shall not exceed 20 feet above average building elevation; or

b.    The maximum horizontal facade shall not exceed 50 feet in width.

    See KZC 115.30, Distance Between Structures/Adjacency to Institutional Use, for further details.

3.    The ability to accommodate new development in the TL 10B zone is dependent upon the extension of 118th Avenue NE to NE 116th Street as shown on Plate 34C, Chapter 180 KZC. Consistent with and to the extent authorized by applicable statutes and court decisions, new development on properties across which this street in whole or in part extends, shall contribute to the creation of the street as follows:

a.    With all new development, the portions of this street crossing the subject property shall be dedicated as public right-of-way consistent with Plate 34C; and

b.    With all new development exceeding 35 feet in height, the street shall be improved as determined by the Public Works Director.

    Minor deviations in the location and width of the street may be approved by the Public Works Director if the deviations will not negatively affect the functioning of the street.

4.    Maximum allowable building height may be increased to 45 feet above average building elevation on parcels where dedication for the road is provided. Additional height increases beyond 45 feet above A.B.E. may be allowed for certain uses, as authorized in the Use Zone Chart.

5.    Vehicular access to NE 116th is permitted only via 118th Avenue NE, or if the subject property does not have access to 118th Avenue NE.

    (Does not apply to Public Park use).

6.    Any development activities requiring Design Review approval pursuant to KZC Section 142.15 shall be reviewed administratively (ADR), pursuant to KZC 142.25. Where gross floor area of an existing building is expanded by less than 10 percent, no Design Review is required.

7.    Development must be designed to retain the existing hill along NE 116th Street and retain, at a minimum, 25 percent of the viable significant trees. The City may require greater than 25 percent depending on the location and clustering of trees.

    (Does not apply to Public Park use).

8.    Some development standards or design regulations may be modified as part of the design review process. See Chapters 92 and 142 KZC for requirements.
