INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Committee of Whole
FROM: Nora Gierloff, Deputy Director
DATE: April 6, 2010
SUBJECT: Zoning Code Changes Relating to the Siting and Operation of Crisis
Diversion Facilities and Crisis Diversion Interim Service Facilities
ISSUE
BACKGROUND
On March 15, 2010, the City Council was briefed on a recommendation from the Planning
Commission to allow Crisis Diversion Facilities and Crisis Diversion Interim Service Facilities
within the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) zoning district as unclassified uses. The Council
forwarded the Ordinance to the April 12, 2010 meeting for a public hearing.
DISCUSSION
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
A public hearing on an ordinance to modify the zoning code related to the siting and operation of
crisis diversion facilities and crisis diversion interim service facilities.
For additional background information please refer to your agenda packet from the March 15,
2010 meeting, specifically the document entitled, "Staff Report to the Planning Commission
dated 2/18/10 with attachments
The Planning Commission adopted staff's findings and conclusions contained in the "Staff
Report to the Planning Commission dated 2/18/10 with attachments This staff report noted the
following regarding the County's siting criteria and the TUC area of the City:
The TUC area fulfills the County's location requirements. All highways which are located
in south King County that were listed in the County's RFP are accessible from the TUC
area.
The TUC area contains several east/west arterials which connect the area to adjacent
jurisdictions. These streets will allow Police Officers from Renton, Kent, SeaTac, and
Burien to easily access the CDF.
There are six Metro bus routes serving the TUC area. All of these routes converge at the
Metro Transit Center located on Andover Park West. The TUC area is served by more
bus routes than any other City location. Compared to other areas of the City such as the
MIC area and the TIB Corridor that only have bus routes that run north /south the TUC
area has bus routes that run east/west. Since the County is proposing to have a facility
that serves the entire County the TUC area provides the best regional bus access.
Many existing buildings meet the County's square footage requirement of 7200 square
feet.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
The Planning Commission raised some concerns about operational issues for the CDF and the
CDIS. These operational issues have also been raised by staff. In order to address specific
issues with the facilities' operation and to ensure that proper mitigation is in place for impacts to
city services, the Planning Commission recommends that proposed CDF and CDIS uses be
required to obtain an Unclassified Use Permit from the City Council. This process would allow
for a transparent and public process for siting these types of facilities should they be proposed
in Tukwila.
RECOMMENDATION
Conduct the public hearing at tonight's meeting. Forward to the May 3, 2010 Regular meeting
for possible action by the Council.
