INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Committee of the Whole
FROM: Jack Pace, Director of Community Development
BY: Kathy Stetson, Code Enforcement Officer
DATE: September 28, 2015
SUBJECT: 2015 International Property Maintenance Code and
National Healthy Housing Standard adoption
Draft Ordinance
(Revised after 9114 CAP, See page 2, underlined paragraph)
ISSUE
Should the City adopt the 2015 International Property Maintenance Code incorporating portions
of the National Healthy Housing Standard as amendments?
BACKGROUND
In 2004, the City adopted the 2003 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code
(IPMC). The IPMC regulates housing and property conditions and is used by Code
Enforcement when investigating code enforcement complaints. The IPMC is also the basis for
the Rental Licensing Inspections conducted on every rental unit. The IPMC is regularly updated
by the International Code Council (ICC). We currently use the 2012 edition of the IPMC. The
2015 edition has now been released.
The National Healthy Housing Standard (NHHS) is a new standard developed by the American
Public Health Association and the National Center for Healthy Housing. This standard was
developed as an enhancement to the IPMC and focuses on housing quality and its impact on
the health of the occupants. It is intended as a complement to the IPMC and other policies
already in use by local, state and federal agencies for the upkeep of existing homes. This
standard puts modern public health information into housing code parlance. The quality of
housing is one of the best known and documented determinants of health.
DISCUSSION
There are seven principals of "Healthy Housing" — Dry, Clean, Ventilated, Pest -free, Safe,
Contaminant -free, and Well - Maintained. The NHHS and the IPMC address all these
components. The 2015 edition of the IPMC has very few substantive changes from the 2012
edition. We are proposing to amend the 2015 IPMC with specific provisions of the National
Healthy Housing Standard. These additional provisions fill in gaps in the IPMC with an
emphasis on residential housing conditions that affect the health and safety of the occupants.
These new provisions will give code enforcement additional tools when investigating housing
code violations and will also be incorporated into the Rental Inspection Checklist.
43
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
Some of these changes include:
• The IPMC does not specifically require a kitchen in a dwelling unit. New sections IPMC
404.7.1 — 404.7.4 spell out kitchen requirements for dwelling units.
• New section IPMC 309. 1.1 through 309.7 specify a particular protocol for controlling pests
in dwelling units while still protecting the health and welfare of the occupants through the
use of "Integrated Pest Management" procedures. Integrated Pest Management
emphasizes least toxic effective methods, while also identifying and eliminating those
conditions which cause the infestations in the first place.
• New section IPMC 305.7 regulates the presence of mold and specifies a particular
protocol for eliminating the source and making the necessary repairs, emphasizing "least
toxic" effective methods.
• IPMC Section 302.4 regulates weed height. The current standard for weed height is 24-
inches. We are recommending a 12 -inch maximum height for weeds in the new version.
Our neighboring jurisdictions set maximum heights between 6 and 12 inches.
After these provisions are adopted, we will be modifying the Rental Inspection Checklist to
reflect the new requirements and will be evaluating the associated point system to ensure that
the rental inspections remain an effective proactive tool for ensuring safe and healthy housing
for our residents. Adopting these provisions of the NHHS will not change the process that Code
Enforcement uses to investigate code violations, but will give us additional regulations to cite for
enforcement.
At the CAP meeting on September 14, 2015, Councilmembers asked if fencing requirements
would apply to ponds. After researching this, staff has determined that there are no specific
requirements to fence ponds. The building code defines swimming pools, hot tubs, spas and
wading pools and requires fencing for those with a water depth over 24 inches. The code
makes no reference to "ponds ". Staff is not recommending a fencing requirement for ponds,
lakes rivers or streams.

separate cover. The National Healthy Housing Standard can be downloaded from:

1. PRESENTATIONS
11. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Ordinance: International Property Maintenance Code and National Healthy Housing Standard
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would adopt the 2015 International Property
Maintenance Code (IPMC) with portions of the National Housing Standard incorporated within..
The IPMC regulates housing and property conditions and is used by Code Enforcement staff when
investigating complaints and conducting inspections on every rental unit in the City. The 2012
version is currently adopted by reference and the 2015 edition is now available, with few
substantive changes.
The National Healthy Housing Standard (NHHS) is a new tool developed by the American Public
Health Association and the National Center for Healthy Housing, intended to be an enhancement
to the IPMC to focus on housing quality and occupant health. The principles of "healthy housing"
are Dry, C lean, Ventilated, Pest -free, Safe, Contaminant -free, and Well - Maintained. At its May 25,
2015 meeting, the CAP Committee directed staff to bring the NHHS forward for review along with
the IPMC. If adopted, the NHHS will give staff additional tools when investigating rental units or
reported violations. Changes include new kitchen requirements for dwelling units, protocols for
pest control via "integrated pest management," protocols for mold elimination, and a maximum
weed height of 12 inches. Staff proposes to adopt these portions of the NHHS by incorporating
them into the IMPC as amendments. If the ordinance is approved by Council, the rental housing
inspection checklist will be updated to reflect the additions.
Committee members asked clarifying questions. IPMC Section 303.2 requires and specifies
barriers to pools of water over 24 inches deep such as swimming pools and hot tubs.
Councilmember Ekberg inquired if that provision would apply to ponds. Staff will follow up with
that information in time for the Committee of the Whole discussion on the proposed ordinance.

Background
King County maintains approximately 1,500 miles of roads and over 180 bridges in rural or
unincorporated areas outside of cites. As a result of the County not revisiting the funding
system for nearly 30 years, King County bridges and roads are in increasingly poor condition.
The King County road system revenue is projected to be an average of $90 million per year over
the next 10 -year period. This is far short of the $350 million that the King County Road Services
Division states is necessary to fully address the backlog of needs, embark on a asset
management program, address the division's future maintenance facility needs, and
systematically accomplish the road capacity, mobility and non - motorized needs of the County.
More information on the County's Road Services Division Strategic Plan can be found here.
It is concerning that King County has deferred maintenance of the road and bridge system to
such poor conditions. While there are connector roads in unincorporated King County of
regional significance to cities, it should not be lost on the County that cities have had their own
challenges in funding their roads and bridges. This includes regionally significant roads within
cities, and in many cities, roads that cities are now responsible for due to annexations that had
not been well- maintained when they were in unincorporated King County.

Item 8: Bridges and Roads Task Force
Page 68 of 180
we
Cities see the value of working collaboratively to identify efficiencies and funding strategies for
the future of regional road networks; however, not all rural roads are a regional priority. The
financing of rural and unincorporated roads and bridges should not come on the backs of local
jurisdictions and their residents who have implemented financing tools to preserve their own
aging infrastructure.
Establishment of the Bridges and Roads Task Force
The King County Executive, in collaboration with Councilmember Lambert, convened the
Bridges and Roads Task Force to "recommend financially sustainable and equitable strategies to
deliver an unincorporated road system that supports people's transportation needs, regional
economic development and quality of life."
The Bridges and Roads Task Force will review the current financial picture of the bridges and
roads network, as well as the policy parameters under which the Roads Services Division
operates from. The Task Force scope of work will include review and recommendations for the
following:
Greater Efficiencies— review and evaluate strategies including facilities management,
collaboration with other departments, partnerships with outside agencies, technology
and fleet improvements, staffing adjustments, and environmental regulation
compliance.
Less Infrastructure — review strategies to decrease the County's roads infrastructure
including opportunities associated with annexations, closing unsafe infrastructure, and
transferring road ownership.
Increased Revenue — review and evaluate various funding sources including, but not
limited to, tolling, Local Transportation Benefit District funding, legislative solutions,
opportunities through the Puget Sound Regional Council, or other taxes or fees.
More information on the Bridges and Roads Task Force can be found here. The Bridges and
Roads Task Force Work Plan can be found in Attachment A.
Bridges & Roads Task Force Membership
Membership of the Task Force includes 21 regional leaders including subject matter experts,
users, neighbors and public policy leaders throughout King County. Membership includes a mix
of elected officials, agriculture /business leaders, emergency management professionals,
neighborhood /community representatives, recreational advocates, environmental groups,
planning organization leadership, and a Transportation Concurrency Expert Review panelist. A
full list of members on the task force can be found in here.
SCA was not asked to have a formal role in the make -up of the Task Force. Staff will closely
monitor the evolving work and recommendations so that cities can proactively understand the
direction of the Task Force — and the impact Task Force recommendations may have on cities.

Timeline
The Bridges and Roads Task Force held its first meeting on August 12, 2015. A final
recommendation from the Task Force is due to be complete by November 30, 2015, with a
subsequent meeting held in January to consider and recommend any potential legislative
approaches.
All Task Force meetings are scheduled from 3pm — 6pm as follows:
1. Wednesday, August 12 — Mercer Island Community Center
2. Wednesday, September 16 — King Street Center, 8t" Floor Conference Center
3. Wednesday, October 14— Mercer Island Community Center
4. Wednesday, October 28— Mercer Island Community Center
5. Thursday, November 12 —Mercer Island Community Center
6. Wednesday, January 20— Mercer Island Community Center
Bridges and Roads Task Force Meeting #1
The first meeting of the Task Force included a welcome by Councilmember Kathy Lambert, Task
Force member introductions, an overview of the charge /charter, and a presentation of King
County Roads system.
A "Bridges and Roads 101" presentation provided background on the county road assets,
infrastructure and revenue challenges, and consequences if additional funding resources
cannot be identified. The presentation included information stating that significant traffic
originates from cities and other counties. The 101 -style presentation can be found here (note:
large file).
The meeting also included a summary of member interviews presented by Bob Wheeler from
Triangle Associates. The individual interviews generated requests for additional information or
discussion from King County, including: a complete list of funding sources, 2015 Transportation
Package impacts, road and bridge tiered service levels, GMA policy background and
implementation, traffic concurrency, and design standards between the county and cities. Task
Force members identified potential concerns to be the difference between urban and rural
perspectives, cross - jurisdictional disputes, and equity concerns. Potential solutions identified
during the individual interviews included maintaining less infrastructure, identifying alternative
funding sources, leveraging more state resources, finding collaborative solutions, and building
city support for county roads funding.
At the conclusion of the Bridges and Roads Task Force meeting, members were encouraged to
express questions or comments, which included the following:
• King County stated that half of the trips on the high volume roads in King County come
from cities and other counties. Are there traffic counts demonstrating who travels on
state highways? City arterials?
• A comment that other counties and /or cities must be faced with similar revenue
constraints and aging road /bridge networks. What have other jurisdictions done to
increase revenue, reduce infrastructure ownership or find greater efficiencies?
September 9, 2015 Item 8: Bridges and Roads Task Force Page 70 of 180
71
• A question was asked of whether there is a relative measure that can be used to
evaluate which roads should be funded as a priority based on traffic counts. What is the
value of improving infrastructure on major arterials versus minor roadways? While the
cost might be the same, the value is different.
• A question about how the County might transfer roads to other jurisdictions, such as
Washington State Department of Transportation?
• An inquiry about how local jurisdictions are contributing to the road and bridge
network.
Interest in understanding the utilization of staffing resources.
Next Steps
The next meeting of the Bridges and Roads Task Force is scheduled for Wednesday, September
16, 2015 where there will be an overview of King County Office of Performance, Strategy and
Budget Director Dwight Dively will present the financial situation, analysis of need, and
potential revenue options.
SCA staff propose working with PIC members and jurisdictional staff to gather data in response
to questions identified by Task Force members and to reflect efforts made by cities, such as:
• What strategies does your jurisdiction employ to increase revenue or find greater
efficiencies in preservation and maintenance of road networks?
• Does your jurisdiction keep traffic counts of travelers coming from outside of the city
traveling on the city arterials?
• What major regional road networks connect your jurisdiction with rural or
unincorporated portions of King County?
• What is the percentage of general fund dollars your jurisdiction allocated for the
financing of preservation and maintenance of roads and bridges?
• The Task Force is considering a State legislative strategy. What concerns do you have in
the County proposing a Legislative approach to the financing of rural roads and bridges?
SCA staff will monitor and attend Task Force meetings and provide briefings to members of the
Public Issues Committee (PIC).

Bridges and Roads Task Force WORKPLAN
Purpose: The Bridges and Roads Task Force will be comprised of a diverse set of stakeholders working to identify
policy and fiscal strategies to sustainably maintain and preserve King County's roads.
Desired
Outcome: The Bridges and Roads Task Force will develop a recommendation for sustainable solutions that
recognize the regional significance of the county road network. The task force will seek further efficiency
gains, review the impact /benefit of existing policies, and review the existing environment for other
opportunities.
It will consider the current framework provided by Strategic Plan for Road Services (SPRS) and will
provide short and long term strategies and funding alternatives, necessary to maintain and preserve the
county road network.
Background: The survival of King County's 1,500 mile rural and unincorporated road network and 183 bridges is
threatened by an obsolete and inadequate funding structure.
The state has not provided counties with financing tools that complement the state's Growth
Management Act (GMA). The GMA, which King County has successfully implemented, promotes
compact urban development inside cities by reducing development in rural areas. As a result, the
burden of funding the county's extensive road network falls on 13 percent of the county's total
population.
More than one million trips per day are taken on the unincorporated road network in King County. In
addition to the unincorporated residents of the county, roughly 250,000 people use the county road
system daily to move freight and goods, get their products from farm to market, and commute to their
jobs, schools, and recreational opportunities. On several of the county's major arterials, over 50 percent
of the daily commuters are from other cities or counties.
King County has put a plan in place to address the future of its road network, with a focus on public
safety. Its Strategic Plan guides investments in the rural road network and provides a framework to
restore the network to a steady state of good repair. Unfortunately, due to a lack of adequate resources,
the County is currently forced to use SPRS as a tool to prioritize and guide the selection of Bridges and
Roads for closure.
The Bridges and Roads Task Force will provide a constituency, momentum, and policy recommendations
to assist regional leaders in sustainably addressing this challenge.
Scope: The Bridges and Roads Task Force will review the current financial picture for our County Bridges and
Roads network, as well as policy parameters under which RSD currently operates. The Task Force will
review options for improving service delivery including our Roads Services Division's (RSD) work on
achieving greater efficiencies, exploring ways to decrease our infrastructure, and to procure additional
revenue.
Greater Efficiencies
The Task Force will review various strategies RSD is undertaking to increase efficiencies, including
facilities management, collaboration with other departments, partnerships with outside agencies,
technology and fleet improvements, staffing adjustments, and environmental regulation compliance
strategy.

September 9, 2015 Item 10: E911 Oversight Page 102 of 180
79
For several years, this region has been exploring ways to enhance the E911 system. These
include but are not limited to looking at moving to "Next Generation 911" (NG911), which
would allow digital information (such as text messages, photos, and videos) to be sent by the
public to the PSAPs (the 911 call taking and dispatch agencies), and on to first responders.
HISTORY
In 2012, King County retained the firm GeoCom to conduct an assessment of the existing E911
system in King County, including a review of the existing operations and technology at each of
the 12 PSAPs. The 2012 GeoCom report was met with significant skepticism by many cities
(particularly those cities who operated th& own PSAPs, because the stated goal of the review
"was to determine the feasibility of consolidating none, some, or all of the PSAPs and public
safety communications functions serving the county and municipalities within King County."
In 2012, during the 2013 budget process, the County Council adopted a budget proviso
requiring the Executive to develop a plan for implementing the GeoCom report. That plan was
initially due to the council on May 31, 2013. A work group was formed, but unable to come to
consensus. The deadline was extended to September 2014, and the scope of the proviso was
changed from reporting on recommendations to reporting on progress and plans for
completion. The Executive reported to the County Council in 2014 that a new "PSAP Future
Configuration Recommendation Committee" would be formed to make recommendations on
next steps.
In the meantime, due to opposition from many PSAPs and cities, the County Executive's office
has backed off of the initial proposal to consolidate PSAPs. Instead, the focus of the work has
shifted to coming up with a governance structure that will enable the region to move forward
with NG911. There has also been a focus on a looming budgetary crisis within the E911
program.
The King County Council included a proviso in its 2015 -2016 budget for the Auditor's Office to
conduct a financial and technical audit of King County's 911 system. The Auditor's Report
found:
King County has been a national leader in updating and enhancing its 911 system.
However, it anticipates the program will run out of money within the next three years
and it faces a number of other challenges in its current efforts to implement Next
Generation 911 services. The lack of an effective governance structure that includes
King County and its PSAP partners is the most serious of these challenges. Because of
this, while solutions exist for many of the financial and technical challenges that we
identify in our report, there is currently no formal means for King County and its
partners to make decisions. We also found that King County has not consistently
followed its own guidelines and process for managing information technology projects.
Based on these findings, the Auditor's Report recommended the following:
September 9, 2015 Item 10: E911 Oversight Page 103 of 180
-M
We recommend that King County temporarily suspend its implementation of Next
Generation 911 until this governance issue can be resolved. In addition, we make
recommendations to help King County and its partners move forward with
implementation of Next Generation 911. Our recommendations focus on improving
collaboration and planning as well as establishing a financial baseline that would allow
stakeholders to agree on required spending and estimated revenue for the program.
The Auditor's Report is based in part on a study conducted by an outside firm, Mission Critical
Partners. That full report can be found on the Auditor's website, and an executive summary is
included as Attachment A. That report was critical of the County's E911 Office, describing the
approach taken to planning to be "piecemeal" noting, "The absence of project planning,
timelines, accountability and a collaborative requirements- gathering process are the primary
barriers King County faces to successfully implement NG9 -1 -1. The expected upcoming budget
shortfall is indicative of these and other problems the County faces."
In addition to calling for the Auditor's review of the E911 system in King County, the budget
adopted by the King County Council also contained a proviso requiring the County Executive to
transmit an ordinance establishing a "King County regional public safety answering point
oversight committee." The Auditor's Report made a similar recommendation, noting that
the County lacked a formal governance structure for decision making on matters related to
E911. The Auditor's Report recommended that the County Executive create a governance
mechanism that would build on the group called for by the County Council. "This group should
balance King County's statutory responsibilities under Washington state law, with providing a
formal, clear, and transparent mechanism for the Public Safety Answering Points and other
regional partners to participate in the decision - making process."
In response to the County Council's budget proviso, the County Executive transmitted a
Proposed Ordinance 2015 -0255, Attachment B, which would establish the King County Regional
Public Safety Answering Point Oversight Committee ( "Oversight Committee "). The proposed
ordinance also defines a proposed work plan for the Oversight Committee, the primary
objective of which is to recommend a strategic plan for the implementation, governance and
operation of the Next Generation 911 (NG911) system in King County. The ordinance received a
dual referral to the COW, and to the Regional Policy Committee (RPC).
Directors of the various PSAPs were unhappy with the recommendations contained in the
ordinance transmitted by the Executive, as well as the fact that the process was developed
without consultation with the PSAPs and other stakeholders, and submitted their own proposal,
Attachments C and D.
The RPC will review and make a recommendation on the competing proposals at its September
9, 2015 meeting.
E911 Oversight Committee
A preliminary note on terminology: The King County Council budget proviso called for the
establishment of a "King County regional public safety answering point oversight committee."
September 9, 2015 Item 10: E911 Oversight Page 104 of 180
The original ordinance submitted by the Executive maintained this terminology. Both the PSAP
Directors and the County Executive's Office now agree that the term "PSAP Oversight
Committee" is a misnomer. The committee would provide oversight in some capacity to the
E911 system, not the individual PSAPs. The PSAP Directors have proposed the title of "King
County Regional 9 -1 -1 Emergency Number Program Steering Committee (REPSC)." While the
ultimate title of the committee is to be determined, this memo uses the term "E911 Oversight
Committee" (or "Committee ") as a placeholder.
The PSAP Directors met with representatives from the Executive's office on Monday August 31,
2015. As of the drafting of this staff report, both the Executive's office and the PSAP Directors
were working on amendments to their proposals. The below comparison references the version
of the Executive's proposal submitted to the County Council on June 30, 2015, and the version
of the PSAP Directors' proposal sent to RPC members in August 2015, except as otherwise
noted. Updated materials will be distributed to PIC members as they become available.
Makeup of the E911 Oversight Committee
The King County Council's budget proviso contained a list of proposed members for the
committee:
• the vice chair of regional coordination of the council
• the chair of the law, justice, health and human services committee
• the executive or his designee
• a city of Seattle elected official appointed by the mayor
• three elected officials from other jurisdictions to be appointed by the council
• a representative of the Sound Cities Association
• a representative of a public safety agency, which is police, fire or emergency
medical services
• a nonvoting technical and facilitation consultant selected by the executive.
The proposal submitted by the Executive was similar but not identical to that list. Instead of
one representative of "a public safety agency, which is police, fire or emergency medical
services," the Executive proposed adding three representatives of public safety agencies: a
representative of the elected Sheriff, a police chief, and a fire chief. The Executive has
subsequently withdrawn the suggestion to have a representative of the elected Sheriff on the
committee.
The proposal submitted by the PSAP Directors was also similar to the list contained in the
Council budget proviso, with two differences. The PSAP Directors proposed having 5, rather
than 3, elected city officials on the committee. Under this proposal, these would be in addition
to an SCA representative on the committee. The most significant difference between the PSAP
Directors proposal and the Executive's proposal would be the addition of 2 PSAP directors on
the committee: one from a large agency (NORCOM or Valley Com) and one from a small
agency.
3 Subsequently renamed the "law, justice and emergency management committee."
September 9, 2015 Item 10: E911 Oversight Page 105 of 180
M.
Questions for RPC members include:
• Should the Committee include only elected officials?
• If non - elected officials are on the Committee, should they be voting or non - voting
members?
• If non - elected officials are on the Committee, should membership include PSAP
directors?
• Should there be a technical advisory committee (TAC) established to give guidance to
the Committee and, if so, what should membership on the TAC consist of, and what
level of formality should the TAC have?
Role and Responsibilities of the E911 Oversight Committee
The proposals from the Executive and the PSAP Directors differ significantly as to the role and
responsibilities of the Committee.
Executive Proposal:
Under the Executive's proposal, the "primary objective" of the Committee would be to
"recommend to the King County Executive and Council a strategic plan for the implementation,
governance and operation of the Next Generation 911 (NG911) system in King County." Under
the Executive's proposal, the Committee would also establish bylaws and recommend a future
governance structure, operating rules, and infrastructure for future countywide E911
operations. The Committee would be tasked with developing a 10 -year strategic plan that
would include:
• Vision and Mission Statement for King County E911;
• Guiding principles for the King County E911 system;
• Goals of the King County E911 system;
• Governance for the regional organizational structure;
• Organizational structure and rules for the regional system; and
• COW Packet Materials Page 109
• Implementation steps, to address, at a minimum, the following issues:
• NG911 infrastructure needs and investments
• Staffing and training needs and investments
• Transitional issues
• Recommended sustainable financial plan, built from a baseline budget; and
• Scope, schedule and budget for implementation steps.
The proposal submitted by the Executive focuses on development and implementation of
NG911. It does not provide significant detail on the role of the Committee (and interest of
stakeholders) in oversight of the E911 system, which is a concern given the findings of the
Auditor's Report.
PSAP Directors' Proposal
Under the PSAP Directors' proposal, the purpose of the Committee would be "owning,
operating, maintaining, managing and providing ongoing upgrading, maintenance and
operation of the Enhanced 911 system previously operated by the King County E -911 Program
September 9, 2015 Item 10: E911 Oversight Page 106 of 180
F-W
Office." The proposal includes future formation of a nonprofit corporation that would take over
ownership of the system.
The duties of the Committee would include:
• Providing oversight of the technology, operations, administration and finances of the
King County E -911 Program office
• Completing the above mission and purpose of the Committee
• Providing ongoing evaluation and recommendations for improvement of 911 services
• Developing a strategic plan for Next Generation 911 technology
• Developing timelines and work plans as necessary to carry out its purpose
• Receiving and considering all proper matters in relation to E -911 Program technology,
operations, finance and administration
• Reviewing and analyzing all prior historical documents deemed necessary by the REPSC
including all financial, management, technical and other records of the E -911 Program
Office
• Hiring, monitoring and overseeing the performance of King County E -911 Program
Manager who would serve "at the pleasure of the Committee
• Providing an annual report to the County Executive and King County Council on progress
Under this proposal, the Committee would also "have final authority over annual distributions
to the PSAPs of any and all E -911 taxes collected by King County."
The PSAP Directors' proposed ordinance would also clarify that it would "not in any way
regulate or create oversight of the operations, finances, technology or management of the
current twelve King County PSAPs."
Questions for RPC Members to decide
Both proposals envision the Committee developing a strategic plan for design and
implementation of a regional NG 911 system. Some issues to be resolved between these two
competing proposals are:
• Should the Committee be empowered to hire its own facilitator and set the work plan
for the Committee?
• Should the Committee have a greater role in overseeing the E911 system on an ongoing
basis, particularly given the Auditor's Report findings?
• Should the Committee own and operate the E911 office?
o If so, should a new nonprofit organization be formed for ownership?
o Should the Committee have responsibility for hiring, firing, and oversight of the
employees of the E911 office?
• Should the Committee have final authority over the annual distributions of E911 taxes?
• Should the ordinance clarify that the Committee would not have oversight authority
over the PSAPs?
• To the extent that some of these are still open questions, should they be within the
purview of the Committee to determine?

Next Steps
As noted above, both the PSAP Directors and the Executive are working on refinements to their
proposals at this time. Additional materials will be provided to PIC members as they become
available. Additionally, more materials on this topic will be a part of the RPC meeting materials,
which were not available at the time of this writing. The RPC members are scheduled to take
action on September 9, 2015.

Committee of the Whole
FROM: Jack Pace, Community Development Director
BY: DCD Staff
DATE: September 22, 2015
SUBJECT: Single - Family Neighborhoods Policy in the Comprehensive Plan
ISSUE
The Council is continuing to revise the language in the Comprehensive Plan regarding
development standards in single - family neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND
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.
The Comprehensive Plan's four objectives remain unchanged since its adoption in 1995. They
are stated in priority order as follows:
1) To improve and sustain residential neighborhood quality and livability
2) To redevelop and reinvigorate the Tukwila International Boulevard district
3) To redevelop and reinvigorate the industrial uses along East Marginal Way
4) To develop a thriving Urban Center as a true regional concentration of employment,
housing, shopping and recreational opportunities
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.
Since the August 24, 2015 deliberations, residents have expressed concern about smaller lot
sizes and allowing development other than single - family homes in residential neighborhoods.
Council deliberated on additional changes to the Plan language on September 14th and 21St
DISCUSSION
Staff has captured the changes to the policies and implementation strategies proposed at the
September 21 St, 2015 meeting in the attachments to this memo. Once the language is finalized
staff will return with a formatted document for adoption.

The majority of Tukwila's affordable housing is `naturally occurring', meaning that factors
such as location and age of the home result in below regional average costs. Because future
housing development will likely include redevelopment of existing affordable housing and
the development of new higher cost housing in the Urban Center, efforts to address the
lack of affordable housing for residents earning less than 30% AMI, will most likely require

Home
Having a range o l ing ty fo choose from encourages home ownership. This in turn
supports longer ter 'd I ) nd neighborhood stability. Based on 2010 US Census data,
home ownership is rela ow among Tukwila residents, and is decreasing. While less
than half of the housing units in Tukwila are apartments, almost 60% of housing units in
the City are renter - occupied. The majority of the City's housing stock consists of older 2
bedroom single - family homes and apartments in large multi - family developments. This
range of housing options does not accommodate residents in all stages of life, including
young adults, multigenerational families, older adults hoping to "age in place ", and older
adults looking to downsize.

contain more than two bedrooms and include features critical for families, such as spaces
where family members can gather for meals and other activities, and where children can
play and engage in activities such as homework; easy access to outdoor play and
recreations space, and sufficient storage. Many types of low- density housing, such as
cottage or clustered housing and duplexes, provide compa attractive and affordable
alternatives to traditional single - family homes. Allowitl ader mix of housing in single-
family neighborhoods with access to transit and nea �� parks, and other child_

From the Compreheli' adoption in 1994 to the present, Tukwila residents have
described the city as ha 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

ISSUES
In developing the policies to meet the goals for this element, the following
issues were identified for Tukwila:
Neighborhood Access
Ideally, the built, natural, and social environments ' g" \itlee ne to provide
opportunities for residents to interact, experie ature,
en' physical
activities, and to easily access food and oth 11 opportur, many of
Tukwila's neighborhoods lack sidewalks an the and otheh as retail and
services within walking dist ance. This limits r nts' community,
and to get around without a moto icle.

is°%irvice accessible without a motor vehicle to
to the area and it is not within
Was. There are very few other organized
of Tukwila who lack access to a motor vehicle.
— Single Family Infill Compatibility
Newer Tukwila homes ' 'be 'be larger, and less compatible with existing housing stock.
The average home size is owing, 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
and quality of neighborhoods can be challenging. A variety of regulatory tools provide
possible avenues to encourage compatible design without unduly limiting development.

TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Residential Neighborhoods
Neighborhood- Supportive Commercial Areas
Commercially -zoned areas within and adjacent to residential neighborhoods provide the
opportunity for residential support services to locate with lking and bicycling distance
to where people live. There are limited neighborhood -s tive commercial areas in
Tukwila. Larger commercial areas, including South d businesses along Tukwila
International Boulevard, are located beyond wal con 'ent bicycle distance for
many residents. A variety of development re s and ince s can help to promote
neighborhood- supportive commercial dev ent that is in cha r with residential
development and can provide transitions fr sidential neighbor h to larger
commercial and mixed -use areas.
Compatible Land Use
Many residents chAQL' r its c nt to ' n and access to services
and amenities. Thi r on in the Puget Sound region,
as the approx imatat Tacoma, roximity to major interstate
highways, and proatio Airport. The challenge is to preserve this
access wh' ng tfrom ffic and commercial encroachment to
ennanc iranie° unirvaouainies.
These residential nei' land use goals are Tukwila's approach to sustaining and
improving residential ne orhoods and supporting continued development that allows
flexibility and predictability to meet the community's need and desires.
Goal 7.1 Residential Land Use Pattern
A land use pattern that encourages a strong sense of community by grouping
compatible and mutually supportive uses and separating incompatible uses.

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE MAP LEGEND
The Land Use map included in the Plan reflects the goals and policies within the Comprehensive Plan
elements. It conveys the long -term plan for the primary -use character of the various city
neighborhoods. All areas of the City have distinct characters, some established many years ago and
some currently evolving. There are natural areas being preserved and enhanced but most land is now
residential, commercial, and industrial.
Changes in existing land use patterns are proposed in some areas such as the Southcenter Subarea and
the Tukwila International Boulevard District to reflect the commum(Voals. Such change is expected
to occur gradually, as strategic plans for specific areas are de ,�s the plans are implemented and
promoted, and as public and private investment is made. /�,,,,
