PURPOSE This component of the Comprehensive Plan contains the goals and policies for land use and development of Tukwila's residential neighborhoods. It serves as the basis for zoning and plays a key role in setting City policy, development standards, design guidelines; and investing of public capital into neighborhood improvement projects. These goals and policies guide land use patterns, physical development priorities to preserve and enhance the sense of community in Tukwila's residential neighborhoods. They support the objectives and strategies outlined in the 2012 Strategic Plan; they are informed by the Community Conversations and outreach efforts of the 2015 W: \Long Range Projects \2014 CompPlanUpdate \CITY COUNCIL \TIB Housing NH July August 2015 \ResidentialNeighborhoods_PC revisions.doc 6/9/2015 2015 -2031 1 TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Residential Neighborhoods Comprehensive Plan update process and, they build upon the image of neighborhood quality described initially by the Tukwila Tomorrow Committee in 1994. This element focuses on land use and development of residential neighborhoods. Additional aspects of residential neighborhoods are found in other elements of the Comprehensive Plan, including: Community Image and Identity, Utilities, Transportation, and Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS). RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND LAND USE Tukwila's residential neighborhoods are geographic areas, some with distinct boundaries such as waterways and freeways, and others with less obvious boundaries based on time of annexation. Tukwila's residential neighborhoods are a mix of smaller -lot, built -out residential areas predominately built before WWII, large multi - family apartment complexes built in the 1960's, 70's, and 80's, and newer areas characterized by more recent, larger houses. New development in the single - family residential neighborhoods occurs primarily as infill, through re- platting existing residential lots. This often results in lot orientation or home sizes that are different from existing development. However, just less than fifty percent of Tukwila residents live in the single - family neighborhoods. The majority of residents reside in apartment or condominium buildings and any significant increase in households will be through the development of multi - family units. From the Comprehensive Plan's adoption in 1994 to the present, Tukwila residents have described the city as having a distinct character focused on community and livability. In the 1990's, this characterization seemed based in its physical attributes, such as smaller homes built on smaller lots, homes oriented close to the street, narrow street widths, and parks and trails. While the physical development has changed in the last twenty years to meet the City's growth and evolving needs of residents, residents still tend to see the character of Tukwila's neighborhoods in terms of having a sense of belonging to the community, easy access to community leaders, and ample trees and parks. Residents take pride in the City's diversity and its global community while recognizing that this diversity needs to be supported and that the voices of all residents, both long -term and recently arrived, need to be heard.

Without it, Tukwila's residential neighborhoods will lose many of their most valued characteristics and the public investment will not achieve its goals. Standards to which public facilities such as schools, parks, and streets are designed should support the neighborhoods' [physical appearance and safetyl. As infill continues throughout Tukwila, development regulations may require revision to ensure that they strengthen the character of Tukwila's neighborhoods, support interaction among neighbors, increase housing options, and produce new housing that enhances the existing neighborhoods.. Although many choose to make Tukwila their long -term home, Tukwila's residents have become increasingly mobile over the past two decades. Short -term residency, often called transiency, is not unique to Tukwila; however it may be felt more strongly given the relatively small size of the City's residential population. Previously, the transiency of Tukwila's residential population was attributed primarily to short -term rentals. However, the transiency of Tukwila's residents is due to several factors. Cost of housing, employment and employment access, housing size and quality, access to services, and concern for personal safety may all contribute to lack of residential stability in Tukwila. Residential transiency may also limit Tukwila's sense of community, and contribute to poor school performance. The City desires to stabilize residents and supports opportunities for improved educational attainment, employment, engagement, economic security, and personal safety.

However, many of Tukwila's neighborhoods lack sidewalks and paths and other amenities such as retail and services within walking distance. This limits residents' ability to enjoy their community, and to get around without a motor vehicle. Tukwila's current regulations only require the construction of sidewalks for short plats /single - family development projects of 5 or more contiguous lots. Sometimes, this has the inadvertent effect of discouraging maximum lot creation due to the increased cost of infrastructure (i.e., developers may create 4 lots when they have enough land for 5). Additionally, the Tukwila Community Center is not accessible without a motor vehicle to most Tukwila neighborhoods. There is no transit service to the area and it is not within walking or biking distance to most neighborhoods. There are very few other organized recreational activities available to residents of Tukwila who lack access to a motor vehicle. Neighborhood Development - Single Family Infill Compatibility Newer Tukwila homes tend to be larger, and less compatible with existing housing stock. The average home size is growing, reflecting a nationwide trend. There is limited available land for residential development in the City, and as such most new development occurs as infill in existing residential neighborhoods. To accommodate the desire for larger homes, some vegetated areas are being removed for new development. Encouraging new development to meet housing targets and residents' needs while maintaining the character W: \Long Range Projects \2014 CompPlanUpdate \CITY COUNCIL \TIB Housing NH July August 2015 \ResidentialNeighborhoods_PC revisions.doc 6/9/2015 2015 -2031 5 Commented ILB3]: Condition found in Housing as it relates more to condition of housing stock.

Formatted: Line spacing: Multiple 1.15 li Formatted: Line spacing: Multiple 1.15 li [Formatted: Line spacing: Multiple 1.15 li r TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Residential Neighborhoods and quality of neighborhoods can be challenging. A variety of regulatory tools provide possible avenues to encourage compatible design without unduly limiting development. Neighborhood- Supportive Commercial Areas Commercially -zoned areas within and adjacent to residential neighborhoods provide the opportunity for residential support services to locate within walking and bicycling distance to where people live. There are limited neighborhood- supportive commercial areas in Tukwila. Larger commercial areas, including Southcenter and business along Tukwila International Boulevard, are located beyond walking or convenient bicycle distance for many residents. A variety of development regulations and incentives can help to promote neighborhood- supportive commercial development that is in character with residential development and can provide transitions from residential neighborhoods to larger commercial and mixed -use areas. Noise Abatement Many residents choose to live in Tukwila for its convenient location and access to services and amenities. This is underscored by the City's central location in the Puget Sound region, as the approximate midpoint between Seattle and Tacoma, proximity to major interstate highways, and proximity to SeaTac International Airport. The challenge is to preserve this access while buffering the neighborhoods from traffic and commercial encroachment to enhance desirable community qualities. GOALS AND POLICIES These residential neighborhood land use goals are Tukwila's approach to sustaining and improving residential neighborhoods and supporting continued development that allows flexibility and predictability to meet the community's need and desires. Goal 7.1 Residential Land Use Pattern W: \Long Range Projects \2014 CompPlanUpdate \CITY COUNCIL \TIB Housing NH July August 2015 \ResidentialNeighborhoods_PC revisions.doc 6/9/2015 2015 -2031 6 Formatted: Line spacing: Multiple 1.15 li Formatted: Line spacing: Multiple 1.15 li Formatted: Line spacing: Multiple 1.15 li TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Residential Neighborhoods A land use pattern that encourages a strong sense of community by grouping compatible and mutually supportive uses and separating incompatible uses.

Police are responsible for noise complaints. Odor complaints are not enforced by Code enforcement either. Complaints can be registered with Puget Sound Clean Air Agency. They have an online complaint form that can be filed. Not sure what enforcement is like with them. "Strict enforcement of policies for neighborhood quality" will need to be spelled out more completely. (Formatted: Line spacing: Multiple 1.15 li Goal 7.3 TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Residential Neighborhoods • When possible, create flexible development standards to provide creative solutions to infill challenges for short plats or smaller developments when development meets or exceeds the goals established by the code and neighborhood groups but may not exactly conform to the written standards. • Apply the tree code to require site design that minimizes the removal of significant trees and maintain appropriate tree canopy standards. • Commit City resources to encourage and facilitate neighborhood development groups and work parties for neighborhoods interested in investing time into improvement projects such as clean -up events, public space improvements, or strengthening social capital through neighborhood meetings and social gatherings • Consider a small grant program for neighborhood -based and led improvement projects • Explore zoning code updates to address sharing economy uses in residential areas, including but not limited to short -term vacation rentals. • Implement the Strategic Plan, specifically Goal 1 C - Focus City planning and investments on creating a connected, dynamic urban environment. • Develop neighborhood signage in multiple languages to foster a sense of community in residential areas.
