15.12.010 Establishment of Uses/Interpretation of Land Use Tables

A.  The use of a property means the purpose or activity for which the building or lot is intended, designed, arranged, occupied or maintained. All applicable requirements of this code, or other applicable State or Federal requirements, shall govern a use located in the City of SeaTac, except within the area delineated as the SeaTac City Center, in which case the City Center land use charts contained within Chapter 15.35 SMC shall apply.

B.  The land use tables in this chapter determine whether a specific use is permitted in a zone classification. The zone classification is located on the top horizontal row and the specific use is located on the vertical column of these tables.

1.   P – If the letter “P” appears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the use is permitted in that zone classification subject to review and conformance to the general requirements of this chapter.

2.   C – If the letter “C” appears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the use is permitted in that zone classification subject to the conditional use review process and approval. (Ord. 98-1019 § 6; Ord. 92-1041 § 1)

15.12.011 Classification of Unlisted Uses and Clarification

A.  In creating use charts, the City has considered the characteristics of uses which make them comparable, compatible or similar to each other. The City recognizes that it is not possible to enumerate and classify every use to which land may be devoted, either now or in the future, and that ambiguity may exist with reference to the appropriate and consistent use definition and applicable standards. Therefore:

1.   When any known and identifiable use is not listed as a permissible use in any classification; or

2.   When any use has now come into existence by reason of any technical development in the trades, sciences and equipment; or

3.   When any use already listed in the use charts which, because of any process, equipment or materials used, possesses different performance standards than those which are usually associated with the uses in the classification as presently classified and which, therefore, makes it reasonable that such a use should be placed in the more restrictive classification, it shall be the responsibility and duty of the Department of Planning and Community Development to ascertain all pertinent facts relating to any such use and make what it deems to be the appropriate process on a case-by-case basis for locating the use in the compatible zone classification.

B.  Based on the above situations, the City Manager, or designee, shall review the findings of facts and conclusions, and issue a decision of one of the following actions:

1.   Approve or deny the use as a similar and compatible use for that zone classification;

2.   Require approval or denial through the conditional use process; or

3.   Begin the process for review of an amendment to the land use charts.

C.  The purpose of the review shall be to determine that the characteristics of any such use shall not be unreasonably incompatible with the type of uses permitted in surrounding areas, and for the further purpose of determining the need for stipulating such conditions that would mitigate potential impacts and reasonably assure that the basic purpose of this code shall be served.

D.  Any administrative decision issued by the City Manager, or designee, can be appealed to the City Hearing Examiner, as stated in SMC 15.22.060(J)(8).

E.  On an annual basis, the City Manager, or designee, shall review and bring forward any recommended revisions or interpretations for uses to the Planning Commission. Additionally, every five (5) years, the City Manager, or designee, shall present a comprehensive review of the Zoning Code to the Planning Commission for consideration of necessary revisions due to lack of specificity or ambiguity in the adopted standards and their impacts. (Ord. 95-1012 § 1; Ord. 92-1041 § 1)

15.12.015 Domestic Animals

Domestic animals as defined and limited at SMC 15.10.180 are permitted outright in all zone classifications within the City. (Ord. 97-1010 § 2)

15.12.017 Community Residential Facilities

A.  “Group homes” in the City of SeaTac are classified as “community residential facilities (CRF).” Community residential facilities include all uses defined by SMC 15.10.130, including housing for persons with disabilities, children and domestic abuse shelters. CRFs do not include overnight shelters (as defined by SMC 15.10.440), halfway houses (as defined by SMC 15.10.298), or facilities providing alcohol and drug detoxification (defined as convalescent centers by SMC 15.10.155). Transitional housing is also classified as a separate use (under SMC 15.10.649), unless such housing is for victims of domestic violence, for children, or for the disabled. Secure community transition facilities are neither group homes nor transitional housing; they are classified as a separate use under SMC 15.10.561.05.

B.  CRFs are divided into two categories, I or II, based on size and occupancy.

1.   Community Residential Facilities I (CRF I).

a.   CRF I are single-family structures, allowed in all residential and commercial zones. CRF I may house up to five (5) residents plus two (2) caregivers, with the special exception that State-licensed adult family homes and foster family homes are exempt from the City’s numerical limit.

b.   Additionally, special exceptions to the limit on the number of occupants of a CRF I may be granted for persons with disabilities pursuant to the accommodation procedure provided in SMC 15.12.018.

c.   In the single-family zone, CRF I are required to be a single-family structure compatible with the surrounding area. In the low density multi-family zone, CRF I are required to maintain residential character.

2.   Community Residential Facilities II (CRF II). CRF II are not subject to any numerical occupancy limit and are permitted in the high density multi-family and commercial zones. (See SMC 15.12.020, Use #008a). (Ord. 02-1029 § 2; Ord. 01-1011 § 2; Ord. 99-1005 § 14)

15.12.018 Accommodation of Persons with Disabilities

A.  Purpose. The City recognizes the need to make reasonable exceptions to its Zoning Code, if requested, to accommodate the special needs of persons with disabilities.

B.  Application. Such exceptions may include:

1.   Increasing the number of nonrelated persons allowed to live together in a single-family house;

2.   Reducing setback requirements to retrofit a house with handicap accessible facilities;

3.   Other modifications to the Zoning Code necessary to afford a person with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling, provided such modification does not reduce public safety nor keep the intent of the code from being met.

C.  Authority. Exceptions from code requirements are made pursuant to the requirements of the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, 42 U.S.C. Section 3604(f)(3)(B); and Washington Law Against Discrimination, Chapter 29.60 RCW for persons with disabilities as defined by Federal law in 42 U.S.C. Section 3602(h). See SMC 15.10.176 for the definition of disability.

D.  Accommodation Procedure.

1.   Request for Accommodation. Any person claiming to have a disability, or someone acting on his or her behalf, who wishes to be excused from an otherwise applicable requirement of this Zoning Code must provide the Planning Director with verifiable documentation of the disability and need for accommodation.

2.   Decision Process.

a.   Director Authority. If disability and need for accommodation are demonstrated, the Planning Director, in consultation with the City Attorney, is hereby authorized to vary, modify, or waive the provisions of the Zoning Code, in order to provide reasonable accommodation necessary to afford a disabled person the opportunity to use a dwelling.

b.   Prompt Action. The Director shall act promptly on the request for accommodation.

c.   No Fee. The Director shall not charge a fee for responding to such request.

d.   Appeal. The Director’s decision shall constitute final action by the City on the request for accommodation, and review of that decision will be available only in court. An action seeking review must be filed no more than twenty-one (21) days after the director’s decision.

3.   Decision Criteria.

a.   Reasonable Response. The city’s duty to accommodate is an affirmative one, and the Director is thereby authorized to provide accommodations in a thoughtful and reasonable manner.

b.   No Loss of Code Purpose or Safety. No reasonable accommodation shall be provided to any chapter of the Zoning Code, or other code adopted pursuant thereto, which does not substantially accomplish the purposes of that chapter or which would reduce the public safety.

c.   Burden of Proof on Applicant. The applicant shall have the burden of establishing that the proposed modification, waiver, or variance accomplishes substantially the same purpose without reduction of safety.

d.   Minimum Accommodation Needed. The accommodation shall be the minimum necessary to grant relief to the applicant.

4.   Procedure Upon Change of Use.

a.   Accommodation Personal Unless Similar Use Re-established within Six (6) Months. The accommodation provided shall be personal to the applicant and shall not run with the land; provided, however, that a change in a residential structure necessary to accommodate the operation of a residential care provider to the disabled may be continued by future operations of similar facilities at the site which establish the same use within six (6) months of the date the prior use by disabled persons or residential care provider ceases.

b.   Structure May Be Required to Be Brought Back Into Compliance. The Director may direct that any physical change in the structure which would otherwise be illegal under the Zoning Code, or other section of the SeaTac Municipal Code, be brought into compliance six (6) months after the date of sale or transfer of a residential structure to a person or entity not qualifying for the protections of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Fair Housing Act (FHA) and the Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD). (Ord. 99-1005 § 15)

15.12.019 Essential Public Facilities

Uses listed in the land use tables (SMC 15.12.020 through 15.12.070) may also be classified as essential public facilities and be subject to the CUP-EPF siting process (SMC 15.22.035). (Ord. 02-1029 § 12)
