The City is initiating a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to amend the Capital Facilities Element of the City of Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan. The Capital Facilities Element presents the goals and policies for Tukwila's Capital Facilities and begins on page 161 of the Comprehensive Plan. Planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA) differs from traditional capital improvement plans because it must identify specific facilities, include a realistic financing plan, and adjust the plan if funding is inadequate or if development requires previously unanticipated expansion. The Capital Facilities Element does not currently list "Fire" as one of the functional areas which may need capital facilities. It does list "Parks" as such an area. The Capital Facilities Element also does not list levels of service for existing and for future development for Fire and Parks services. 2. The City Council adopted the new Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan in June, 2008 by Ordinance 2207; it did not include a specific level of service standard. Since then, levels of service for Parks have been discussed by Council. The Parks level of service will be adopted in Fall, 2008. A new Fire Department Master Plan was submitted to the City in August, 2008 and the review process by City Council has begun; it is anticipated that the Master Plan will be adopted in November, 2008. The levels of service for Fire were discussed in conjunction with the Plan. The Fire level of service will be adopted when the Master Plan is adopted. 3. The Administration is evaluating new sources of revenue for the City. One such source is "impact fees" through which new development helps to pay for capital facilities necessitated due to the new growth. Mayor Haggerton's goal is to analyze options and to adopt impact fees by the end of 2008. In order to have a discussion of whether or not to adopt Fire and Parks impact fees, the City must have the following foundation: A. Adopted Parks and Fire Master Plans with identified levels of service B. Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan which identifies Fire and Parks C. List of Fire and Parks capital facilities needed solely due to anticipated new growth and development C:\DOCUME- 1 \Wynetta \LOCALS --1 \Temp\XPGrpWise\PC staff report 10- 30- 08.doc Staff Report: L08 -049111 Page 3 of 9 The Growth Management Act allows impact fees for parks services and for fire services, in addition to the traffic impact fees the City has already enacted. In order to consider and adopt impact fees, the City needs to have adopted a Fire Master Plan and identified a level of service goal for fire services. DISCUSSION Emergency The City Council has determined that this proposed amendment is considered an "emergency" under TMC 18.80.020 and necessitates expeditious action in 2008 in order to allow a discussion about and possible adoption by Council of impact fees for Fire and Parks by the end of 2008. It meets the criteria for emergency comprehensive plan amendments: 1. It preserves the health, safety and welfare of the public by adding fire services and levels of service for fire services and parks services into the adopted process for determining capital facilities necessary to provide these services to the community. 2. It supports the economic well -being of the City by meeting the Growth Management Act and establishing a foundation for future discussions on revenue to provide fire services and parks services. Review Process The City Council has determined that the proposed amendment has substance and should be reviewed by the Planning Commission. The Council found the following: The issue is not already addressed in the Comprehensive Plan There is a public need for the proposed change; the change will recognize a variety of facilities and services which need City capital facilities planning and implementation as well as levels of service for Fire and Parks services. Amending the Comprehensive Plan is the best way to meet this need and it is consistent with Growth Management Act and RCW 80.02 (Impact Fees) specifications. Adding the Fire and Parks levels of service (LOS) will allow the City to evaluate and prioritize new fire and parks capital facilities needs and expenditures; the community benefits when future capital facilities needs are identified, prioritized and funding determined prior to being required. The Planning Commission will use the following Comprehensive Plan Amendment criteria identified in the Tukwila Municipal Code: 1. TMC 18.80.010 2. TMC 18.80.050 C:\DOCUME- 11Wynetta\LOCALS --I 1Temp\XPGrpWise\PC staff report 10- 30- 08.doc • • Staff Report: L08 -049 Page 4 of 9 After reviewing compliance with the criteria, Planning Commission may recommend to the City Council one of the following actions: 1 Adopt the proposed amendment 2. Adopt a modified version of the proposed amendment, or 3. Reject the amendment After the Planning Commission forwards a recommendation, the Council will schedule a public hearing and COW discussion in November. A decision on whether or not to adopt the proposed amendment would be scheduled for the Regular Meeting in either late November or early December. Vicinity /Site Information The proposed amendment will apply citywide. Amendment The current Capital Facilities Element language in the comprehensive plan does include "Parks" but does not include "Fire" as one of the functional areas in which general government facilities (capital facilities) are needed or planned. The Capital Facilities Element also does not list levels of service for existing and for future development for Fire and Parks services. The amendment will provide a substantive base in the Comprehensive Plan for the inclusion of capital facilities for the Fire Department in the City's CIP (Capital Improvements Plan). The identification of both the Fire and Parks levels of service (LOS) will allow the City to evaluate and prioritize new fire and parks capital facilities needs and expenditures. The inclusion of "Fire" and the addition of levels of service provide more specific direction concerning the spending of City funds from the General Fund. FAQ i^_� 02.0� C� ) The Growth Management Act (GMA) allows cities to adopt impact fees for parks, fire, traffic and schools under RCW 82.02.090(7) if the Capital Facilities Element (CFE) of the Comprehensive Plan identifies the service(s) for which impact fees might be charged. The amendment will provide the foundation to allow the City to evaluate whether or not to adopt impact fees for both Fire and Parks. These are actions which will allow the City to operate more efficiently and evaluate new and additional sources of revenue. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CRITERIA (TMC 18.80.010) 1. A detailed statement of what is proposed and why The detailed language of the proposal is identified in the Application (Attachment A). There are three reasons for this proposal: C:\DOCUME-- 1 \Wynetta \LOCALS -1 \Temp\XPGrpWise\PC staff report 10- 30- 08.doc Staff Report: L08 -049 Page 5 of 9 • Inclusion of "Fire" provides a substantive base from which to include fire capital facilities in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); "Parks" is already listed. • Identifying the levels of service for Fire and Parks provides a foundation to determine what has been achieved and what will be achieved in the future. • This amendment is one of the necessary steps which must be accomplished before the City of Tukwila may evaluate whether or not to adopt impact fees for Fire and Parks services. The Growth Management Act (GMA) and the impact fee section of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) call for Fire and Parks services to be identified in the adopted Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan (RCW 36.70A.070(3) and RCW 82.02.050(4)) before impact fees are adopted. 2. A statement of the anticipated impacts of the change, including the geographic area affected and the issues presented by the change The amendment will provide a substantive base in the Comprehensive Plan for the inclusion of capital facilities for the Fire Department in the City's CIP (Capital Improvements Plan). The amendment will comply with a Growth Management Act (GMA) requirement and the impact fee section of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW); it will allow the City to evaluate whether or not to adopt impact fees for both Fire and Parks (RCW 36.70A.07O(3) and RCW 82.02.050(4)). This amendment applies city -wide. 3. An explanation of why the current comprehensive plan or development regulations are deficient or should not continue in effect; (be specific; cite policy numbers and code sections that apply!) The current Capital Facilities Element language in the comprehensive plan does include "Parks" but does not include "Fire" as an area in which general government facilities (capital facilities) are planned (see Bullet point #3 under "Issues: General Government Facilities" in the Capital Facilities Element, page 162). The current language does not include levels of service for either Fire or Parks. The inclusion of "Fire" and the addition of levels of service provide more specific direction concerning the spending of City funds from the General Fund. They also allow the City's consideration of Fire and Parks impact fees. 4. A statement of how the proposed amendment complies with and promotes the goals and specific requirements of the Growth Management Act The Growth Management Act (GMA) allows cities to adopt impact fees for parks, fire, traffic and schools under RCW 82.02.090(7). In order to do this, C:IDOCUME- 11Wynetta \LOCALS -1 \Temp\XPGrpWise\PC staff report 1 0-30-08.doc • • Staff Report: L08 -049 Page 6 of 9 the Capital Facilities Element (CFE) of the Comprehensive Plan must identify the service(s) for which impact fees might be charged. Currently, "Parks" is identified in the CFE but "Fire" is not; the amendment will correct this and meet the GMA. 5. A statement of how the proposed amendment complies with applicable Countywide Planning Policies Four Countywide Planning Policies address levels of service, capital facilities plans and/or parks: LU -29 All jurisdictions shall develop growth phasing plans consistent with applicable capital facilities plans to maintain an Urban Area served with adequate public facilities and services to meet at least the six year intermediate household and employment target ranges consistent with LU -67 and LU -68. These growth phasing plans shall be based on locally adopted definitions, service levels, and financing commitments, consistent with the Growth Management Act requirements. (rest of policy not reproduced) (emphasis added) LU -45 Jurisdictions' comprehensive plans for Urban Centers shall demonstrate compliance with the Urban Centers criteria. In order to promote growth within Centers, the Urban Center plan shall establish growth strategies which: c. Provide a wide range of capital improvement projects, such as street improvements, schools, parks and open space, public art and community facilities; (rest of policy not reproduced) (emphasis added) CC -11 All jurisdictions shall work cooperatively to ensure parks and open spaces are provided as development and redevelopment occur. (emphasis added) CC -13 All jurisdictions shall develop coordinated level -of- service standards for the provision of parks and open spaces. (emphasis added) Regarding LU -29, The City has a 6 year CIP and will adopt "service levels" (levels of service) for Fire and Parks. It will adopt lists of capital facilities needed to support anticipated future growth as existing levels of service as additions to the CIP. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy. C:\DOCUME- 1 \Wynetta\LOCALS -1 \Temp\XPGrpWise\PC staff report 10- 30- 08.doc Staff Report: L08 -049 Page 7 of 9 • • Regarding LU -45, the City currently identified needed capital facilities and improvement projects for Parks. It will identify capital facilities needed as a result of future growth; these will be added to the CIP and, it is anticipated, be funded through impact fees. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy. Regarding CC -11, the City adopted a new Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan in June, 2008 which addresses facilities needed as development and redevelopment occur. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy. Regarding CC -13, the City is in the process of adopting clear and easily administered level of service standards for Parks. It is anticipated these standards will be adopted on September 2, 2008. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy. 6. A statement of what changes, if any, would be required in functional plans (ie, the City's water, sewer, storm water or shoreline plans) if the proposed amendment is adopted No changes will be required in the City's functional plans if this amendment is adopted. It allows the City to fully implement the adopted Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan and the to -be- adopted Fire Department Master Plan (functional plans). 7. A statement of what capital improvements, if any, would be needed to support the proposed change, and how the proposed change will affect the capital facilities plan of the City No capital improvements would be needed to support the proposed change. In future, the proposed amendment will provide a substantive basis for including "Fire" capital improvements in the CIP. A list of capital facilities that are needed to maintain the levels of service and are due solely to future growth will be added to the City's CIP in the event Fire and Parks impact fees are adopted. As impact fees become available, projects on these lists will be constructed or purchased. 8. A statement of what other changes, if any are required in other City codes, plans or regulations to implement the proposed change Level of service standards have been adopted for Parks; they will be adopted for Fire in Fall, 2008. After review and evaluation, if the City Council decides to move forward on impact fees, an ordinance for Fire and Parks impact fees will be adopted.

Describe how the issue is addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. If the issue is not adequately addressed, is there a need for the proposed change? Yes, there is a need for the proposed amendment. The current Capital Facilities Element language in the comprehensive plan does include "Parks" but does not include "Fire" as an area in which general government facilities (capital facilities) are planned (see Bullet point #3 under "Issues: General Government Facilities" in the Capital Facilities Element, Comprehensive Plan page 162). The current language does not include levels of service for either Fire or Parks. The inclusion of "Fire" and the addition of levels of service provide more specific direction concerning the spending of City funds from the General Fund. They also allow the City's consideration of Fire and Parks impact fees. 2. Why is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public need? What other options are there for meeting the identified public need? The proposed amendment is a necessary step which must occur in order for the City to have a discussion concerning whether or not to adopt impact fees for "Fire" and "Parks." The Growth Management Act requires that the Capital Facilities Element identify the services for which impact fees might be obtained. There are no other ways to accomplish this step. 3. Why will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community? If not, what type of benefit can be expected and why? The amendment will provide a substantive base in the Comprehensive Plan for the inclusion of capital facilities for the Fire Department in the City's CIP (Capital Improvements Plan). Both the Fire and Parks levels of service (LOS) will allow the City to evaluate and prioritize new fire and parks capital facilities needs and expenditures. The amendment will comply with a Growth Management Act (GMA) requirement and allow the City to evaluate whether or not to adopt impact fees for both Fire and Parks. These are both actions which will allow the City to operate more efficiently and evaluate new and additional sources of revenue. The community benefits when future capital facilities needs are identified, prioritized and funding determined prior to being required. CONCLUSIONS C:\DOCUME -1 \Wynetta\LOCALS -1 \Temp\XPGrpWise\PC staff report 10- 30- 08.doc Staff Report: L08 -049 Page 9 of 9 In reviewing Comprehensive Plan criteria, staff concludes that: 1. Comprehensive Plan: • The proposed change is consistent with the GMA requirement that the Comprehensive Plan Identify all areas of general government for which capital facilities spending is necessary. • It clearly identifies levels of service for Fire and Parks services. • It adds references to Fire and Parks Master Plans as the basis for capital facilities prioritization and spending decisions. 2. Impacts: • The City will have the planning documents in place to substantiate capital facilities spending decisions. • The City will have adopted levels of service for Fire and Parks. The levels of service will aid decision making around what new capital facilities are needed. 3. Public Need: • The GMA requirement for identified planning documents and links between the documents and capital facilities decisions will be met. • Clearly stated levels of service identify what is currently being provided and what needs to be provided for future growth in the City in order to equitably provide for all citizens. 4. Community Benefit: • Adding the Fire and Parks levels of service (LOS) will allow the City to evaluate and prioritize new fire and parks capital facilities needs and expenditures; the community benefits when future capital facilities needs are identified, prioritized and funding determined prior to being required. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval to the City Council of the proposed amendment to the Capital Facilities Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan to add "Fire" to the list of uses funded by the General Fund and to add Levels of Service for Fire and Parks services as proposed.

A new Fire Department Master Plan was submitted to the City in August, 2008 and the review process by City Council has begun; it is anticipated that the Master Plan will be adopted in November, 2008. The levels of service for Fire were discussed in conjunction with the Plan. The Fire level of service will be adopted when the Master Plan is adopted. This proposal is considered "categorically exempt" from environmental review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), per WAC 197 -11 -800 (20).

A statement of the anticipated impacts of the change, including the geographic area affected and the issues presented by the change The amendment will provide a substantive base in the Comprehensive Plan for the inclusion of capital facilities for the Fire Department in the City's CIP (Capital Improvements Plan).

This amendment applies city -wide. 3. An explanation of why the current comprehensive plan or development regulations are deficient or should not continue in effect; (be specific; cite policy numbers and code sections that apply!) The current Capital Facilities Element language in the comprehensive plan does include "Parks" but does not include "Fire" as an area in which general government facilities (capital facilities) are planned (see Bullet point #3 under "Issues: General Government Facilities" in the Capital Facilities Element, page 162). The current language does not include levels of service for either Fire or Parks. The inclusion of "Fire" and the addition of levels of service provide more specific direction concerning the spending of City funds from the General Fund. They also allow the City's consideration of Fire and Parks impact fees. 4. A statement of how the proposed amendment complies with and promotes the goals and specific requirements of the Growth Management Act The Growth Management Act (GMA) allows cities to adopt impact fees for parks, fire, traffic and schools under RCW 82.02.090(7). In order to do this, the Capital Facilities Element (CFE) of the Comprehensive Plan must identify the service(s) for which impact fees might be charged. Currently, "Parks" is identified in the CFE but "Fire" is not; the amendment will correct this and meet the GMA. 5. A statement of how the proposed amendment complies with applicable Countywide Planning Policies Four Countywide Planning Policies address levels of service, capital facilities plans and/or parks: LU -29 All jurisdictions shall develop growth phasing plans consistent with applicable capital facilities plans to maintain an Urban Area served with adequate public facilities and services to meet at least the six year intermediate household and employment target ranges consistent with LU- 67 and LU -68. These growth phasing plans shall be based on locally adopted definitions, service levels, and financing commitments, consistent with the Growth Management Act requirements.. (rest of policy not reproduced) (emphasis added) LU -45 Jurisdictions' comprehensive plans for Urban Centers shall demonstrate compliance with the Urban Centers criteria. In order to promote growth within Centers, the Urban Center plan shall establish growth strategies which: • • Application for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Page 5 of 7 CC -11 c. Provide a wide range of capital improvement projects, such as street improvements, schools, parks and open space, public art and community facilities; (rest of policy not reproduced) (emphasis added) All jurisdictions shall work cooperatively to ensure parks and open spaces are provided as development and redevelopment occur. (emphasis added) CC -13 All jurisdictions shall develop coordinated level -of- service standards for the provision of parks and open spaces. (emphasis added) Regarding LU -29, The City has a 6 year CIP and will adopt "service levels" (levels of service) for Fire and Parks. It will adopt lists of capital facilities needed to support anticipated future growth as existing levels of service as additions to the CIP. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy. Regarding LU -45, the City currently identified needed capital facilities and improvement projects for Parks. It will identify capital facilities needed as a result of future growth; these will be added to the CIP and, it is anticipated, be funded through impact fees. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy. Regarding CC -11, the City adopted a new Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan in June, 2008 which addresses facilities needed as development and redevelopment occur. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy. Regarding CC -13, the City is in the process of adopting clear and easily administered level of service standards for Parks. It is anticipated these standards will be adopted on September 2, 2008. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy. 6. A statement of what changes, if any, would be required in functional plans (ie, the City's water, sewer, storm water or shoreline plans) if the proposed amendment is adopted No changes will be required in the City's functional plans if this amendment is adopted. It allows the City to fully implement the adopted Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan and the to -be- adopted Fire Department Master Plan (functional plans). 7. A statement of what capital improvements, if any, would be needed to support the proposed change, and how the proposed change will affect the capital facilities plan of the City • • Application for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Page 6 of 7 No capital improvements would be needed to support the proposed change. In future, the proposed amendment will provide a substantive basis for including "Fire" capital improvements in the CIP. A list of capital facilities that are needed to maintain the levels of service and are due solely to future growth will be added to the City's CIP in the event Fire and Parks impact fees are adopted. As impact fees become available, projects on these lists will be constructed or purchased. 8. A statement of what other changes, if any are required in other City codes, plans or regulations to implement the proposed change Level of service standards have been adopted for Parks; they will be adopted for Fire in Fall, 2008. After review and evaluation, if the City Council decides to move forward on impact fees, an ordinance for Fire and Parks impact fees will be adopted. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CRITERIA (TMC 18.80.050) 1. Describe how the issue is addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. If the issue is not adequately addressed, is there a need for the proposed change? Yes, there is a need for the proposed amendment. The current Capital Facilities Element language in the comprehensive plan does include "Parks" but does not include "Fire" as an area in which general government facilities (capital facilities) are planned (see Bullet point #3 under "Issues: General Government Facilities" in the Capital Facilities Element, Comprehensive Plan page 162). The current language does not include levels of service for either Fire or Parks. The inclusion of "Fire" and the addition of levels of service provide more specific direction concerning the spending of City funds from the General Fund. They also allow the City's consideration of Fire and Parks impact fees. 2. Why is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public need? What other options are there for meeting the identified public need? The proposed amendment is a necessary step which must occur in order for the City to have a discussion concerning whether or not to adopt impact fees for "Fire" and "Parks." The Growth Management Act requires that the Capital Facilities Element identify the services for which impact fees might be obtained. There are no other ways to accomplish this step. 3. Why will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community? If not, what type of benefit can be expected and why? The amendment will provide a substantive base in the Comprehensive Plan for the inclusion of capital facilities for the Fire Department in the City's CIP (Capital Improvements Plan). Both the Fire and Parks levels of service (LOS) will allow the • • Application for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Page 7 of 7 City to evaluate and prioritize new fire and parks capital facilities needs and expenditures. The amendment will comply with a Growth Management Act (GMA) requirement and allow the City to evaluate whether or not to adopt impact fees for both Fire and Parks. These are both actions which will allow the City to operate more efficiently and evaluate new and additional sources of revenue. The community benefits when future capital facilities needs are identified, prioritized and funding determined prior to being required. • T ILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL FACILITIES PURPOSE This element of the Comprehensive Plan presents the goals and policies for Tukwila's Capital Facilities. It is based upon a 6 -year Capital Improvement Plan, subject to annual review and updating to address changing needs and the long-term goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Planning under the Growth Management Act differs from traditional capital improvement plans because it must identify specific facilities, include a realistic financing plan, and adjust the plan if funding is inadequate or if development requires previously unanticipated expansion. A key requirement is concurrency — public facilities must be available when the impacts of development occur. The City has prepared a comprehensive list of proposed capital facility improvements, estimated their cost and identified their potential benefits. The current information is contained in the Financial Planning Model and Capital Improvement Program, 2004 -2009, and in the Capital Facilities Element Background Report Supplement, dated 2004, both of which are adopted by reference as part of this Plan. The City annually reviews and updates this information and will continue to do so as the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan proceeds. The Capital Facilities Element is divided into two categories: ■ General Government Funds, which are the capital funds for all general needs, such as residential streets, arterials, buildings, parks and trails, and other improvements. (Figure 41) ® Enterprise Funds, which are funds whose source and use are restricted to a respective enterprise and which cannot be used for another purpose (in Tukwila, water, sewer, surface water, and the Foster Golf Course). (Figure 42) Capital Facilities Attachment B November 22, 2004 161 TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVVPLAN Capital Facilities ISSUES General Government Facilities There appear to be sufficient revenues, combined with developer participation, grants, local improvement districts, and other miscellaneous sources, to enable the City to meet its capital goals. The General Government Funds are composed of the following funds: e The Residential Street Program which includes projects specifically identified for residential street improvement. ■ The arterial street program is the Transportation Improvement Program designed to correct deficiencies in arterial streets. The program uses City funds, grants, developer funds, local improvement districts, and mitigation payments. Many of the projects identified in the Capital Facilities Element will significantly reduce the current long term deficiency list. e The General Fund includes money for parks, trails, and fisheries projects. 162 November 22, 2004 • • TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS AND POLICIES Goal 14.1 Public facilities that reflect desired levels of quality, address past deficiencies, and anticipate the needs of growth through acceptable levels of service, prudent use of fiscal resources, and realistic timelines. Policies These policies are intended to ensure the availability of financing to accomplish the goals expressed in the various other elements of the Comprehensive Plan over the next 20 years. General Government Policies 14.1.1 Ensure that capital facilities are provided within six years of the occurrence of impacts that degrade standards. 14.1.2 Update the six-year financial planning model annually to review and reassess growth, revenue, and cost totals and forecasts. 14.1.3 Review capital facilities needs every three years. 14.1.4 Continue to target a minimum of 33 percent of total sales tax proceeds to pay for capital projects. 14.1.5 Balance infrastructure investment between the residential and commercial sectors. 14.1.6 Support policies and practices that will maintain an A -1 bond rating or better for the City by sound governmental budgeting and accounting principals, revenue diversity, and promoting the economic well -being of the aty. 14.1.7 Allow issuance of bonds for facilities if repayment can be made from revenue allocations. 14.1.8 Consider projects identified in the Capital Improvement Plan for general operating revenues if substantial funding from grants, developers, other jurisdictions, or other funding sources becomes available. 14.1.9 Include a dedicated facility fund and allocation for future building needs in the financial planning model. Capital Facilities November 22, 2004 165 TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE AN Capital Facilities 14.1.10 14.1.11 14.1.12 14.1.13 • Consider City funding for preliminary engineering and design of commercial street projects if the City determines that the public's health, safety, and welfare will be benefited Use a mitigation -based fee system for each affected City function as determined in the State Environmental Policy Act evaluation of individual development applications. Continue to pay for and improve residential area local access streets and collector arterials in accordance with the prioritized list of residential street projects, and provide interfund loans or transfers for neighborhood water and sewer deficiencies. To provide a more timely option for residential street improvements, property owners may form local improvement districts and the City may pay for the design, preliminary engineering, construction engineering, and local improvement district formation costs. Residents will pay the other costs such as, undergrounding utilities in the street and undergrounding from the street to their house, for the actual construction, and for any improvements on private property such as rockeries, paved driveways, or roadside plantings. Enterprise Fund Policies 14.1.14 Structure utility rates and charges for services to ensure adequate infrastructure development in addition to operation and maintenance requirements. 14.1.15 Maintain adequate reserved working capital balances for each enterprise fund's annual expenditures. 14.1.16 Provide sewers to all residential and commercial areas in the City as a safety and health issue by using a combination of operating revenues, grants, loans, bonds, voluntary local improvement district formations, and interfund loans. 14.1.17 Use bonded indebtedness as a funding alternative when there is a general long-term benefit to the respective enterprise fund 14.1.18 Continue to fund the correction of singlefamity residential neighborhood infrastructure deficiencies. 166 November 22, 2004 ,TUKWILA MUNICIPAL CODE• Chapter 18.80 AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS Sections: 18.80.010 18.80.015 18.80.020 18.80.030 18.80.040 18.80.050 18.80.060 Application Documents to be Submitted with Application Docket Notice and Comment Staff Report Council Consideration Council Decision 18.80.010 Application Any interested person (including applicants, citi- zens, Tukwila Planning Commission, City staff and officials, and staff of other agencies) may submit an application for an amendment to either the compre- hensive plan or the development regulations to the Department of Community Development.

CASE NUMBER: L08 -049 APPLICANT: City of Tukwila REQUEST: Amend the "Capital Facilities Element" of the Comprehensive Plan to add "Fire" to the list of uses funded by the General Fund, to reference the Fire and Parks Master Plans and to add Level of Service goals for Fire and Parks services. LOCATION: Citywide Lisa Verner, Project Manager gave the presentation for staff. Ms. Verner stated that the City Council has determined it is an emergency to amend this portion of the Comprehensive Plan now. Therefore, the City Council forwarded this case to the Planning Commission for their review. Ms. Verner provided an overview of the three proposed elements to be included in the Comprehensive Plan, as listed in the October 30, 2008 staff report. The proposal meets the TMC criteria, of which she also gave an overview. Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval to the City Council of the proposed amendment to the Capital Facilities Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan, I . to add "Fire" to the list of uses funded by the General Fund, 2. to reference and incorporate by reference the 2008 Fire Master Plan and the 2008 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, and 3. to add Levels of Service for Fire and Parks services as proposed.

Page 1 of 1 Lisa Verner - Monday's Meeting: Comp Plan Amendments From: Kimberly Matej To: Council Date: 07/18/2008 4:07 PM Subject: Monday's Meeting: Comp Plan Amendments CC: Christy O'Flaherty; Jack Pace; Mayor Haggerton; Melissa Hart; Rebecca Fox; Rhonda Berry; SHELLEY KERSLAKE Hello Everyone, After last Monday's COW, there seemed to be some confusion regarding what the Council is actually acting on at this point of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Process. I have spoken with several staff members including legal in hopes to clarify and make this process a bit more simple to understand. Since the comp plan amendment process only happens once a year, it can sometimes be confusing. At this Monday's Regular Council meeting, Council will make one of the following decisions regarding the comp plan amendment application request: 1. Refer /forward application to the Planning Commission for further review. 2. Reject the application. 3. Defer the application. The decision the Council makes on Monday is not whether or not the application for amendment should be approved, but whether or not the application should be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation. If the Council does not want to forward the application to the Planning Commission, it can be rejected or deferred. At this stage in the process, it is not necessary to consider the specific merits or substance of the application in order to decide to forward, reject or defer the application. This year, the Council's decision will be quasi - judicial because the application is a site - specific request. It is very important to keep this in mind through each stage of the process. Hope that makes it as clear as mud! Call me if I can answer any questions for you. Kimberly file: / /C:\Documents and Settings \Lisa - V\Local Settings \Temp\XPGrpWise \48B432D6tuk... 08/26/2008 • • APPLICATION Amendment to Capital Facilities Element Tukwila Comprehensive Plan REQUEST: The proposal is to amend the Capital Facilities Element of the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan to add "Fire" to the list of uses funded by the General Fund and to add Level of Service goals for Parks and for Fire services. • Add "the 2008 Fire Master Plan" and "the 2008 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan" to the 3rd paragraph under Purpose (page 161) so that it will read: o The City has prepared a comprehensive list of proposed capital facility improvements, estimated their cost and identified their potential benefits. The current information is contained in the Financial Planning Model and Capital Improvement Program, 2004 -2009, the 2008 Fire Master Plan, the 2008 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan and in the Capital Facilities Element Background Report Supplement, dated 2004, all Beth of which are adopted by reference as part of this Plan. The City annually reviews and updates this information and will continue to do so as the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan proceeds. • Add the word "Fire" to the 3rd bullet point under "Issues: General Government Facilities" (page 162)so that it will read: o The General Fund includes money for fire, parks, trails and fisheries projects • Add "and services" to Goal 14.1 so that it will read: o Public facilities and services that reflect desired levels of quality, address past deficiencies, and anticipate the needs of growth through acceptable levels of service, prudent use of fiscal resources, and realistic timelines" (page 165) • Add the Level of Service goals for Fire services to be adopted with the Fire Department Master Plan as "Policy 14.1.14" (page 166) as follows: o Use the following levels of service to guide City investments in Fire services: • Establish a goal of response to calls for service within the City in 5 minutes 33 seconds 90% of the time • Operate 4 Fire Stations distributed throughout the City • Provide the following fire services: prevention, suppression, aid, rescue, haz mat response, and public education • Maintain equipment level of 3 front line fire engines, 1 front line aerial fire engine, and 1 front line aid car • Maintain personnel level of 3 shifts of professional firefighters per day • Add Level of Service goals for Parks services to be adopted as an amendment to the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan as "Policy 14.1.15" (page 166) as follows: o Use the following levels of service to guide Parks acquisition and improvement decisions: Application for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Page 2 of 7 LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) STANDARDS * 22.3 acres of neighborhood parks are school district property developed as a park. ** The acreage above includes only parks in the City of Tukwila. Regional park needs can be met outside of the City boundaries. ***Includes neighborhood connectors listed in the Walk & Roll Plan. There are three reasons for this amendment: • Inclusion of "Fire" provides a substantive base from which to include fire capital facilities in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); "Parks" is already listed. • Identifying the levels of service for Fire and Parks provides a foundation to determine what has been achieved and what will be achieved in the future. • This amendment is one of the necessary steps which must be accomplished before the City of Tukwila may evaluate whether or not to adopt impact fees for Fire and Parks services. The Growth Management Act (GMA) and the impact fee section of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) call for Fire and Parks services to be identified in the adopted Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan (RCW 36.70A.070(3) and RCW 82.02.050(4)) before impact fees are adopted. BACKGROUND: The City Council adopted the new Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan in June, 2008 by Ordinance 2207; it did not include a specific level of service standard.

BACKGROUND: The City Council adopted the new Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan in June, 2008 by Ordinance 2207; it did not include a specific level of service standard. Since then, levels of • • Application for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Page 3 of 7 service for Parks have been discussed by Council. The Parks level of service will be adopted in September, 2008. A new Fire Department Master Plan was submitted to the City in August, 2008 and the review process by City Council has begun; it is anticipated that the Master Plan will be adopted in November, 2008. The levels of service for Fire were discussed in conjunction with the Plan. The Fire level of service will be adopted when the Master Plan is adopted. This proposal is considered "categorically exempt" from environmental review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), per WAC 197 -11 -800 (20). EMERGENCY: This proposed amendment is considered an "emergency" under TMC 18.80.020 and necessitates expeditious action in 2008 in order to allow a discussion about and possible adoption by Council of impact fees for Fire and Parks by the end of 2008. It meets the criteria for emergency comprehensive plan amendments as demonstrated below: • It preserves the health, safety and welfare of the public by adding fire services and levels of service for fire services and parks services into the adopted process for determining capital facilities necessary to provide these services to the community. • It supports the economic well -being of the City by meeting the Growth Management Act and establishing a foundation for future discussions on revenue to provide fire services and parks services. CRITERIA WHICH MUST BE MET BY THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CRITERIA (TMC 18.80.010) 1. A detailed statement of what is proposed and why Please see statements above. 2. A statement of the anticipated impacts of the change, including the geographic area affected and the issues presented by the change The amendment will provide a substantive base in the Comprehensive Plan for the inclusion of capital facilities for the Fire Department in the City's CIP (Capital Improvements Plan). The amendment will comply with a Growth Management Act (GMA) requirement and the impact fee section of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW); it will allow the City to evaluate whether or not to adopt impact fees for both • • Application for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Page 4 of 7 Fire and Parks (RCW 36.70A.070(3) and RCW 82.02.050(4)). This amendment applies city -wide. 3. An explanation of why the current comprehensive plan or development regulations are deficient or should not continue in effect; (be specific; cite policy numbers and code sections that apply!) The current Capital Facilities Element language in the comprehensive plan does include "Parks" but does not include "Fire" as an area in which general government facilities (capital facilities) are planned (see Bullet point #3 under "Issues: General Government Facilities" in the Capital Facilities Element, page 162). The current language does not include levels of service for either Fire or Parks. The inclusion of "Fire" and the addition of levels of service provide more specific direction concerning the spending of City funds from the General Fund. They also allow the City's consideration of Fire and Parks impact fees. 4. A statement of how the proposed amendment complies with and promotes the goals and specific requirements of the Growth Management Act The Growth Management Act (GMA) allows cities to adopt impact fees for parks, fire, traffic and schools under RCW 82.02.090(7). In order to do this, the Capital Facilities Element (CFE) of the Comprehensive Plan must identify the service(s) for which impact fees might be charged. Currently, "Parks" is identified in the CFE but "Fire" is not; the amendment will correct this and meet the GMA. 5. A statement of how the proposed amendment complies with applicable Countywide Planning Policies Four Countywide Planning Policies address levels of service, capital facilities plans and/or parks: LU -29 All jurisdictions shall develop growth phasing plans consistent with applicable capital facilities plans to maintain an Urban Area served with adequate public facilities and services to meet at least the six year intermediate household and employment target ranges consistent with LU- 67 and LU -68. These growth phasing plans shall be based on locally adopted definitions, service levels, and financing commitments, consistent with the Growth Management Act requirements. (rest of policy not reproduced) (emphasis added) LU -45 Jurisdictions' comprehensive plans for Urban Centers shall demonstrate compliance with the Urban Centers criteria. In order to promote growth within Centers, the Urban Center plan shall establish growth strategies which: • • Application for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Page 5 of 7 c. Provide a wide range of capital improvement projects, such as street improvements, schools, parks and open space, public art and community facilities; (rest of policy not reproduced) (emphasis added) CC -11 All jurisdictions shall work cooperatively to ensure parks and open spaces are provided as development and redevelopment occur. (emphasis added) CC -13 All jurisdictions shall develop coordinated level -of- service standards for the provision of parks and open spaces. (emphasis added) Regarding LU -29, The City has a 6 year CIP and will adopt "service levels" (levels of service) for Fire and Parks. It will adopt lists of capital facilities needed to support anticipated future growth as existing levels of service as additions to the CIP. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy. Regarding LU -45, the City currently identified needed capital facilities and improvement projects for Parks. It will identify capital facilities needed as a result of future growth; these will be added to the CIP and, it is anticipated, be funded through impact fees. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy. Regarding CC -11, the City adopted a new Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan in June, 2008 which addresses facilities needed as development and redevelopment occur. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy. Regarding CC -13, the City is in the process of adopting clear and easily administered level of service standards for Parks. It is anticipated these standards will be adopted on September 2, 2008. This proposed amendment supports these actions and is consistent with this Countywide Planning Policy. 6. A statement of what changes, if any, would be required in functional plans (ie, the City's water, sewer, storm water or shoreline plans) if the proposed amendment is adopted No changes will be required in the City's functional plans if this amendment is adopted. It allows the City to fully implement the adopted Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan and the to -be- adopted Fire Department Master Plan (functional plans). 7. A statement of what capital improvements, if any, would be needed to support the proposed change, and how the proposed change will affect the capital facilities plan of the City • • Application for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Page 6 of 7 No capital improvements would be needed to support the proposed change. In future, the proposed amendment will provide a substantive basis for including "Fire" capital improvements in the CIP. A list of capital facilities that are needed to maintain the levels of service and are due solely to future growth will be added to the City's CIP in the event Fire and Parks impact fees are adopted. As impact fees become available, projects on these lists will be constructed or purchased. 8. A statement of what other changes, if any are required in other City codes, plans or regulations to implement the proposed change Level of service standards have been adopted for Parks; they will be adopted for Fire in Fall, 2008. After review and evaluation, if the City Council decides to move forward on impact fees, an ordinance for Fire and Parks impact fees will be adopted. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CRITERIA (TMC 18.80.050) 1. Describe how the issue is addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. If the issue is not adequately addressed, is there a need for the proposed change? Yes, there is a need for the proposed amendment. The current Capital Facilities Element language in the comprehensive plan does include "Parks" but does not include "Fire" as an area in which general government facilities (capital facilities) are planned (see Bullet point #3 under "Issues: General Government Facilities" in the Capital Facilities Element, Comprehensive Plan page 162). The current language does not include levels of service for either Fire or Parks. The inclusion of "Fire" and the addition of levels of service provide more specific direction concerning the spending of City funds from the General Fund. They also allow the City's consideration of Fire and Parks impact fees. 2. Why is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public need? What other options are there for meeting the identified public need? The proposed amendment is a necessary step which must occur in order for the City to have a discussion concerning whether or not to adopt impact fees for "Fire" and "Parks." The Growth Management Act requires that the Capital Facilities Element identify the services for which impact fees might be obtained. There are no other ways to accomplish this step. 3. Why will the proposed change result in a net benefit to the community? If not, what type of benefit can be expected and why? The amendment will provide a substantive base in the Comprehensive Plan for the inclusion of capital facilities for the Fire Department in the City's CIP (Capital Improvements Plan). Both the Fire and Parks levels of service (LOS) will allow the • • Application for Comprehensive Plan Amendment Page 7 of 7 City to evaluate and prioritize new fire and parks capital facilities needs and expenditures. The amendment will comply with a Growth Management Act (GMA) requirement and allow the City to evaluate whether or not to adopt impact fees for both Fire and Parks. These are both actions which will allow the City to operate more efficiently and evaluate new and additional sources of revenue. The community benefits when future capital facilities needs are identified, prioritized and funding determined prior to being required.
