TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />Housing <br />HOUSING <br />PURPOSE <br />The Housing Element describes how Tukwila's housing needs will be <br />satisfied through 2022. <br />Projected housing needs were determined by a joint committee of cities <br />and the County, as required by state law. These needs were refined <br />through the Vision Tukwila, Tukwila Tomorrow processes and the City <br />Council Residential Revitalization program. Tukwila's overall objective: <br />identify ways to distribute regional housing demand within the Urban <br />Growth Area. To achieve this, two assumptions and three goals were <br />established: <br />ASSUMPTIONS: <br />■ Assumption that the City has already planned to accommodate <br />its fair share of regional housing through 2022 <br />■ Assumption that the City has already achieved its fair share of <br />affordable housing through 2022 <br />GOALS: <br />■ An improved housing stock in support of enhanced <br />neighborhood quality <br />• A full range of opportunities for housing for persons in all stages <br />of life <br />• Improved neighborhood quality by reducing the transient nature <br />of neighborhoods <br />This element focuses on a detailed analysis of housing needs. <br />ISSUES <br />In developing the policies to meet these goals, the following overall 20- <br />year housing and household growth was forecast for Tukwila outside the <br />Tukwila Urban Center: <br />■ There will be a moderate growth in the number of households. <br />December 2008 1 <br />
