Planning Commission Minutes <br />5/23/24 <br />Page 3 <br />mother-in-law apartments. Staff proposed to bring Tukwila’s code into compliance with recently passed state <br />legislation, HB 1337. The CC approved those changes in November 2023, so they are currently in affect. <br />Because of those changes Tukwila now allows all parcels in most zoning districts that permit single-family <br />homes to develop up to two ADUs, either attached or detached to the main residence. Further, owner <br />occupancy is no longer required, nor is additional parking. <br /> <br />In order to ensure full compliance with State requirements, staff is proposing the following three <br />amendments to the code to comply with the law: <br />1) Update TMC Table 18-6 ‘Land Use’ to permit ADUs in all zones that permit single-family homes. <br />2) Remove unnecessary language pertaining to detached garages. <br />3) Remove inapplicable design standard exemptions for ADUs. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommended that the PC forward the amendments to the CC for approval. <br /> <br />Staff also addressed questions from the PC. <br /> <br />PUBLIC TESTIMONY <br /> <br />Sam Pace, King County Realtors, made some general comments and said that ADUs are likely going to <br />present the greatest opportunities for new homeownership in the city. He said they will provide mobility and <br />generational wealth and he said thank you. <br /> <br />There was no additional public testimony. <br /> <br />Chair Probst asked for a motion to close the public hearing. Commissioner McLeland Wieser moved to close <br />the public hearing. Commissioner Kaehler seconded the motion. Motion carried. <br /> <br />There was no deliberation. <br /> <br />MOTION <br />Chair Probst asked for a motion to forward the item to the CC for approval.
