TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />Residential Neighborhoods <br />characteristics and the public investment will not achieve its goals. Standards to which <br />public facilities such as schools, parks, and streets are designed should support the <br />neighborhoods' physical appearance and safety. As infill continues throughout Tukwila, Commented jsM21: Consistent With strategic Plan, coal 1 <br />development regulations may require revision to ensure that they strengthen the character <br />of Tukwila's neighborhoods, support interaction among neighbors, increase housing <br />options, and produce new housing that enhances the existing neighborhoods.. <br />Although many choose to make Tukwila their long -term home, Tukwila's residents have <br />become increasingly mobile over the past two decades. Short -term residency, often called <br />transiency, is not unique to Tukwila; however it may be felt more strongly given the <br />relatively small size of the City's residential population. Previously, the transiency of <br />Tukwila's residential population was attributed primarily to short -term rentals. However, <br />the transiency of Tukwila's residents is due to several factors. Cost of housing, employment <br />and employment access, housing size and quality, access to services, and concern for <br />personal safety may all contribute to lack of residential stability in Tukwila. Residential <br />transiency may also limit Tukwila's sense of community, and contribute to poor school <br />performance. The City desires to stabilize residents and supports opportunities for <br />improved educational attainment, employment, engagement, economic security, and <br />personal safety. <br />W: \Long Range Projects \2014 CompPlanUpdate \Residential Neighborhoods \Public Review \PC <br />Packet\ ResidentialN eighborhoods_PC_62 5 2015_clean.doc <br />6/9/2015 <br />2015 -2031 <br />rGYA <br />
