City's Moratorium on Crisis Diversion Facilities and Crisis Diversion
Interim Service Facilities
Referral of zoning code amendments to allow Crisis Diversion Facilities and Crisis Diversion
Interim Service Facilities within the City to the Planning Commission.
BACKGROUND
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
On September 8 the City Council adopted Ordinance 2248 which established an
emergency six -month moratorium on the issuance and processing of permits relating to crisis
diversion facilities (CDF) and crisis diversion interim service facilities (CDIS) within the City.
This moratorium was necessary to allow the City to study these uses and determine how best to
integrate these facilities into the City.
After the moratorium was adopted, City staff conducted extensive research on the proposed
uses. The purpose of this research was to be able to fully understand the proposed uses and
the needs of these facilities and then to determine the appropriate location for such uses within
the City, given the City's goals and objectives. The following actions were taken by staff:
1. Two separate public records request were filed with King County. The City has received
nearly 1300 pages of documents from the County which outline the proposed uses and
the County's two year plus planning process;
2. Public records requests were also filed with the cities of Bellevue and Seattle for
documents regarding their involvement in the planning process;
3. Planning staff had two separate meetings with King County Community Health and
Services Staff to discuss the proposed facilities;
4. City staff attended two Mental Illness and Drug Dependency (MIDD) Oversight
Committee meetings. The MIDD is the County Advisory Committee that is tasked with
developing both facilities;
5. City staff met with the cities of SeaTac, Burien and Renton to discuss the regional
implications of the facilities;
6. The City organized an informational meeting with County staff from the King County
Prosecuting Attorney's Office and representatives from the cities of Burien, Renton and
SeaTac on the proposed facilities;
7. Additional information was gained from the National GAINS website and other online
resources;
8. City staff met with one of the service providers to learn more about operational issues
and facility needs.

DISCUSSION
After reviewing all relevant information City Administration has developed proposed code
changes which will allow the moratorium to be lifted and put in place zoning criteria under which
these facilities may locate in the City. Under Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.80, the City
Council must refer the proposed code amendments to the Planning Commission for their
review. The Planning Commission will then make a recommendation to the City Council on the
proposed changes.
RECOMMENDATION
Refer the proposed code amendments to allow location of CDF and CDIS facilities within the
City to the Planning Commission for their review and recommendation.
