Amendments to Countywide Planning Policies .
May 23, 2007
BRIEFING
Staff wishes to brief the CAP on updates to the Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs).
BACKGROUND
The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) that requires cities and counties to
work together to adopt Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) that serve as a framework for
each individual jurisdiction's comprehensive plan, and ensure countywide consistency in
land use efforts. The CPPs are adopted by the King County Council and ratified by the
cities throughout King County.
Amendments to the CPPs become effective when ratified by ordinance or resolution by at
least 30% ofthe city and county governments representing at least 70% of the population of
King County. A city shall be considered to have ratified an amendment to the CPPs unless,
within 90 days of adoption by King County, the city takes legislative action to disapprove it.
Tubvila has generally allowed amendments to the CPPs to become effective without taking
action. In 2004, Tukwila adopted amendments to the CPPs via Resolution 1527. Tukwila
has never disapproved an amendment to the CPPs.
DISCUSSION/ANAL YSIS/AL TERNATIVES
On April 9, 2007, the King County Council approved Ordinance 15709 that ratified three
amendments on behalf of unincorporated King County as follows:
1. Motion 06-01 amends Renton's Potential Annexation Area to include the West Hill.
The West Hill is located between Renton, Seattle and Tukwila, and is one of the
largest unincorporated urban areas remaining in King County. (See attached map.)
Renton has taken action to include this area in its P AA.
Tubvila Staff Comment: This area is not in Tubvila's PAA, and its inclusion in
Renton's PAA presents no problem to Tukwila.
2. GMPC Motion 06-02 establishes household and job growth targets for cities,
Potential Annexation Areas (P AAs), and urban unincorporated areas, in addition to

annexation areas. This measure ensures that cities take on additional target levels
consistent with the capacity to accommodate jobs and housing in these areas that are
annexed and incorporated. Renton had requested this amendment specifically to
address the incorporation ofFairwood. Since this measure was proposed, the
proposed incorporation failed to be approved by voters of the proposed city.
Tukwila Staff Comment: This measure ensures that in any case where a new city
incorporation occurs within the P AA of an existing city, the growth targets for the
existing city would be adjusted commensurate v'lith land use capacity for lands
remaining in the PAA of the existing city. Tukwila supports this measure.
3. GMPC Motion 06-03 designates the Overlake district of Redmond as an Urban
Center, and amends the list of Urban Centers to include Overlake.
Tukwila Staff Comment: Tukwila does not object to this measure as Overlake
generally meets the criteria established for designation as an Urban Center. We note
that incentives were established to assist cities in dealing with the impacts of denser
growth in the designated Urban Centers. These incentives include provision of high
capacity transit (Countywide Planning Policy LU-46) and fmancing strategies for
urban facilities and services (LU-47). To the extent that additional Urban Centers,
including Overlake, are established, the resources available for the existing Urban
Centers including the Tukwila Urban Center (ruC) are decreased.
SUMMARY
Based on staff review, these policy changes have no adverse impacts to Tukwila.
Including the West Hill/Skyway area in Renton clarifies that in the longer term it will
become part of Renton.
Staff requests that the CAP brief the COW on this issue. No further action is requested.
