Proposed development in the UC zone that is subject to the requirements of chapter 30.34A SCC must comply with following additional vehicular and pedestrian circulation system requirements:

(1) Proposed urban center developments shall be designed to provide for future vehicular connections to adjacent parcels, where applicable.

(2) The internal vehicular circulation system shall:

(a) Be clearly identifiable, pedestrian friendly and promote connectivity within the existing development;

(b) Be coordinated with the pedestrian circulation system of the development to minimize conflicts;

(c) Include loading and service areas that are separate from pedestrian circulation and parking areas.

(3) The pedestrian circulation system shall:

(a) Comply with the requirements of SCC 30.24.080;

(b) Connect to existing or planned transit stops and stations; and

(c) Connect to existing or previously approved pedestrian facilities on abutting urban center developments; or provide a pedestrian stub at the property line of the abutting property when it is zoned UC and not developed as an urban center. The connections shall be designed to be consistent with other connections of the pedestrian circulation system.

(4) As a condition of approval, a property owner may be required to provide for joint vehicular access to and/or from adjacent parcels. Joint vehicular access must be accomplished through easements or joint use agreements on forms approved by the county.

(5) Curb cuts from a public right-of-way allowed at the time of development may be temporary and subject to closure when more suitable access is developed on adjacent sites. Specifically, the county engineer may require temporary curb cuts for site access. When an adjacent site is developed, the new development may be required to close temporary curb cuts and provide access for adjoining properties through an access located on the new development site. Alternatively, one or more of the adjacent sites may be required to provide its access through a permanent curb cut required on the first site.

(6) If there is a conflict between the provisions of this section and other chapters within title 30 SCC or the EDDS, the county engineer shall determine the appropriate regulation or standard. (Added by Amended Ord. 12-049, Oct. 3, 2012, Eff date Jan. 1, 2013).
