Background The City purchased these properties in 2014 and 2015 to reduce crime. Previously, three motels and a small retail store were operating on the properties. In 2016 the City demolished the buildings. The site is zoned Neighborhood Community Commercial (NCC) and is within the Urban Renewal Overlay Zone. The properties are also located within the City's Community Renewal area. In 2016 the City updated its Comprehensive Plan, which includes a chapter, the Tukwila International Boulevard Element, that explains the vision for the neighborhood. The Comprehensive Plan and zoning information is available on the City's website. The City is not aware of any environmental issues that would affect the development of the site. Prior to purchasing the properties the City completed Phase 1 environmental reviews. During demolition the City required all hazardous materials to be properly handled. The City will provide copies of all environmental documentation after it selects an applicant. The City is considering building a new Justice Center, which would house the City's Municipal Court and Police Department. The City has not conducted a site selection analysis but intends to complete the analysis in 2017. Even if the City selects an applicant, it is possible the City will decide to keep the property for the Justice Center.
