PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting approval of a Tier 2 Temporary Use Permit in order to allow
the operation of an accessory off-site service use at 125 Airport Way. The 8,000 sq. ft. site
is located in the CA zone and Urban Design District D overlay. The building on the site is
one-story tall and approximately 3,100 sq. ft. in size. The applicant’s business includes,
on-site small appliance repair and parts sales and dispatch office space, which are
permitted uses in the CA zone. The business also includes an off-site service component
for repair technicians traveling to the customer's home or business to repair various
appliances (i.e. stoves, refrigerators, washer/dryer) which is not permitted in the CA zone.
According to the applicant, the use would consist of six (6) technicians dispatched to
customers via a team of five (5) clerical staff that would work out of the building on the
site. One spare service van would be parked at the lot at all times, but all other vehicles
associated with the business would only be located on site during normal business hours.
Both the on-site and off-site segments of the business hours would operate between the
hours of 7:30am to 4pm, Monday through Friday. No exterior changes to the building are
proposed, except for new wall signage. Approximately nine (9) parking spaces are
available on the site, with additional public parking located adjacent to the site on S
Tillicum St. Per RMC 4-4-080, on-site appliance repair services are required to provide
two (2) spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of net floor area. No parking standards for off-site services
exist in RMC 4-4-080. At nine (9) total parking spaces, the applicant exceeds the
minimum/maximum for site by three (3,100/1000 * 3 = 6 spaces required). As part of the
Temporary Use Permit, the applicant is requesting to retain all nine (9) existing spaces in
order to provide extra parking for the service vehicles used by repair technicians. Staff
concurs that three additional parking spaces is appropriate given the proposed use
