WHEREAS, our King County cities recognize adequate nutrition as a basic
goal for each citizen; and
WHEREAS, no parent should have to send a child to school hungry, no baby
should be without the comfort of the feedings needed for mental and physical growth,
no elderly person's health should be jeopardized by lack of appropriate foods; and
WHEREAS, food banks, emergency and hot meal programs working with our
cities, local churches, social service agencies and hundreds of volunteers are striving
day in and day out to stem the rising tide of hunger, but still need more help; and
WHEREAS, we believe that when the citizens who are not involved hear of the
especially desperate needs of the hungry as winter approaches and their low incomes
must stretch to cover increasing fuel, electricity and rental costs — leaving even less
money for monthly food purchases, an outpouring of community assistance will follow;
and
WHEREAS, the Emergency Feeding Program of Seattle and King County
coordinates an annual food drive to help support the efforts of their program and the
area's food banks in fighting hunger which will be held at grocery stores throughout
King County on Saturday, September 19, 2015;
NOW THEREFORE, I, Jim Haggerton, Mayor of the City of Tukwila, do
hereby proclaim Saturday, September 19, 2015 as a:
Mayor's Day of Concern for the Hungry
in the City of Tukwila and strongly encourage all citizens to join me, the Emergency
Feeding Program and our local food banks in feeding the hungry people of our
community.
Presented at the City Council meeting this 14th day of September, 2015.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Committee of the Whole
FROM: Jack Pace, Community Development Director
BY: DCD Staff
DATE: September 9, 2015
SUBJECT: Single - Family Neighborhoods Policy in the Comprehensive Plan
ISSUE
Residents have expressed concern about language in the Comprehensive Plan regarding
development in single - family neighborhoods.
At the September 8 Regular Meeting, there was Council consensus to add a discussion about
impacts to residential neighborhoods to the September 14 Committee of the Whole agenda.
BACKGROUND
The City of Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan, first adopted in 1995, establishes goals and policies
that guide the community as it grows and changes over time. Its policies and land use map lay
out the community's long range vision. As required by Washington State law, the City is
currently conducting a thorough review of the Comprehensive Plan to bring it up to date with
any relevant changes in the Growth Management Act and to respond to changes in land use
and population growth.
City Council involvement in the 2015 Comprehensive Plan update included work sessions in
July and August, a public hearing on August 10, 2015, and deliberations on August 24, 2015.
At the August 24, Committee of the Whole meeting, Council consensus existed to forward the
revised draft Comprehensive Plan to a future regular meeting for adoption.
DISCUSSION
Since the August 24, 2015 deliberations, residents from single - family neighborhoods have
expressed concern about proposed language regarding development in single - family
neighborhoods. Specifically, residents have expressed concern regarding smaller lot sizes and
allowing development other than single - family homes in residential neighborhoods.
Attachment A reflects a comparison of current and proposed Comprehensive Plan policies and
implementation strategies that relate to single family lot size and housing types.

ATTACHMENT A
Current & Proposed Comprehensive Plan Policies — Single- Family Lot Size & Housing Types
A main goal of the draft updated Comprehensive Plan policies is to preserve and enhance the existing development
patterns and character of single - family neighborhoods while allowing more flexibility in future development, if so
desired by residents and property owners, and Council.
Overall, the current Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 1995, and the updated policy language share key features:
• Prevailing lot size in single - family neighborhoods — Low Density Residential (LDR) — is a 6,500 square ft minimum.
• A maximum of two units per lot, if development criteria are met.
• Zoning code updates are a legislative process with robust public input and outreach and ultimate action decided
by Council.
• A clear directive to preserve and enhance stable neighborhoods:
Policy 7.1.1— Maintain a comprehensive land use map that supports the preservation and enhancement of
single-family and stable multi family neighborhoods; eliminates incompatible land uses, and clearly
establishes applicable development requirements through recognizable boundaries.
Current Comp Plan & Zoning Code
LOT SIZE
Policy 3.1.2 — Establish 6.7 dwelling units per acre
(6,500 square foot lots) as a maximum for single - family
neighborhoods
HOUSING DIVERSITY
Policy 3.2.7 — Encourage a full range of housing
opportunities for all population segments by actions
including but not limited to revising the Tukwila
development codes as appropriate to provide a range of
housing types
Implementation Strategies:
• Allow an attached accessory dwelling unit if
meets development criteria
• Allow limited demonstration projects such as
clustered cottage housing
Zoning Code
Attached accessory dwelling units allowed in all
residential zones (LDR, MDR, HDR). Criteria are in place
to ensure form (look and feel) of ADUs are compatible
with the neighborhood.
Updated Comp Plan
LOT SIZE
Policy 3.1.2 — Explore adopting smaller lot sizes in
neighborhoods where the historical lot pattern is
smaller than the established 6.7 dwelling units per acre
(6,500 square foot lots)
Implementation Strategies:
• Meet with residents and property owners to
receive input to help establish desired lot area
minimums
• Prevailing lot size (6,500 sf minimum) to remain
with option for smaller lots if desired by Council
HOUSING DIVERSITY
Policy 3.2.1— Provide zoning that allows a variety of
housing throughout the City to allow for diverse,
equitable neighborhoods
Implementation Strategies:
• Explore allowing attached and detached
accessory dwelling units, a duplex, or a two -unit
condominium /townhome in single family zones
NOTE: This would allow no more than two units
per lot. Current zoning code allows two units per
lot (main home and attached ADU)
• Using lessons learned, reinstate the
demonstration projects for cottage housing
