TO: FROM: BY: CC:: DATE City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Tukwila City Council Jack Pace, Director Community Development Moira Bradshaw and Lynn Miranda Mayor Ekberg December 7, 2016 SUBJECT: TIB Implementation and the CNU Workshop ISSUE The City and the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU) Team will be holding a workshop from February 23 — 25, 2017 to create an implementation plan for the Tukwila International Boulevard Neighborhood. BACKGROUND In August 2016, the City was invited to apply for a CNU Legacy Charrette. Staff took the invitation to the Community Affairs and Parks Committee, who supported the application and who then briefed the Committee of the Whole on August 22, 2016. In October, the City was informed that the proposed project on Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB) had been chosen as a CNU charrette project for 2017. DISCUSSION The City has begun preparations for the workshop including a "save the date" article in the November 2016 issue of the Tukwila Reporter and on the project's web page: http: l /www.tukwilawa.govlTlBPlanning. Continued outreach efforts will expand in January and February to ensure that there is broad representation from the community in and adjacent to the TIB neighborhood, including businesses, the faith community, the Tukwila School District, and youth. The Consultant team, headed by Placemakers (http: / /www.placemakerrs.coml), will arrive on Thursday February 23 and spend the afternoon becoming acquainted with the area and visiting aspirational sites in the greater Seattle area that inspire the community's vision for TIB. Public meetings, open drop -ins and focus groups with stakeholders will run throughout the following two days. The goal for the weekend will be to gain consensus on choices and direction. Examples of issues to be discussed include zoning boundaries, building height and bulk standards, parking standards, types and locations for public facilities including public parks and other amenities, street designs and how to create a finer circulation network within an existing developed neighborhood. The CNU team will return for the May 3 -6, 2017 CNU Seattle Conference to present the final report. 145 146 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT The $10,000 fee is equally shared between DCD, Economic Development, Police, and Public Works. Additional costs for food and meeting materials and possible space will be incurred in 2017 for the workshop.

Background A limited number of municipalities are invited to apply for this program that offers technical assistance from nationally known experts. The weekend long charrette1, which would occur in late February 2017, empowers leaders, advocates and residents on how to create walkable, mixed use, diverse, connected, traditional neighborhoods with quality architecture and urban design. Discussion The City is on the cusp of creating recommendations for implementing the TIB goals. The adopted Vision for the neighborhood is; "an area that is a complete neighborhood with a thriving multicultural residential and business community with vibrant places to live, work, shop and play for everyone. The District is a safe and walkable destination with an authentic main street character that is connected to other destinations. There is an emphasis on self-sustaining, living wage employment opportunities within the District." The charrette would be an opportunity to engage with property owners and residents in questions that will be their concerns as the City moves forward with specific implementation. The charrette will focus on how the community's desired outcomes can be achieved and will involve the participants, thereby allowing everyone who partakes to be to be a mutual author of the final products. This process will create specific, implementable actions that takes the policy direction given by the TIB portion of the Comprehensive Plan and defines the activities for moving towards the goal Financial impact If the City is selected, it will be notified on September 3.6, .o3.6. A signed participation agreement and a slo,000 financial commitment is required by October 7, 2016. During the charrette weekend, expenses for the meeting room, breakfast and boxed lunches for the charrette participants will be I A Charrette is an intensive workshop in which all stakeholders collaborate on solutions to a common goal or problem. It's intended to promote shared ownership of solutions and often can involve subgroups working together and reporting back to the full group over the course of the multi -day workshop. 29 147 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 required. it must be noted, however, that the $1o,00o fee leverages over $ioo,000 of in -kind design, facilitation, architectural and planning services. Recommendation The CAP is being asked to approve the letter of commitment and interest from the City to collaborate in the Legacy Program charrette. Attachments A. Invitation to Apply B. Draft Desired outcomes 30 148 C BUILDING PLACES PEOPLE LOVE CNU 25 j Congress Legacy Charrettes Invitation to Apply Each year the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) invites municipalities and neighborhood organizations located within the Congress's host region to apply for low -cost technical assistance from leading urban design firms. Each expert -led workshop, know as a Congress Legacy Charrette', will empower leaders, advocates, and residents to implement New Urbanist principles to build places where people and businesses thrive. Legacy Charrettes explore the opportunities, identify roadblocks, engage local residents, and generate top -of- the -line design and placemaking strategies. The Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) is an international nonprofit organization working to build vibrant communities where people have diverse choices for living, working, and getting around. We believe that well - designed cities and neighborhoods are crucial for our health, economy, and environment. CNU will hold its 25th annual Congress in Seattle, Washington and the greater Cascadia region from May 3 -6, 2017. Connecting Creativity and Community A limited number of comrnunities will be selected to participate in CNU's 2017 Congress Legacy Charrette program. Applications are open to invited municipalities and community organizations chosen based on need and readiness to implement the resulting workshop suggestions. Candidates were identified by the Local Host Committee and by a range of local institutional partners. if you received this invitation directly from CNU and/or its Local Host Committee it has been determined that your community fits the initial criteria, and we invite you to apply. Once communities determine their own needs and areas of focus, CNU's expert designers — national leaders in architecture, planning, placemaking, and revitalization— partner with local teams to prepare the scope of work, host on -site workshops, and create highly - visual, engaging, and implementation - focused final deliverables. Through public engagement and press coverage, CNU's Legacy Charrettes strive to demonstrate the power of great urban design beyond the boundaries of each selected community. Pairing national experts with local professionals ensures that Charrette teams use state of the art strategies and tools grounded in local issues to facilitate the community -based workshops. Targeted communities experience both short -term progress and long - lasting momentum.

Since 1995, the City of Tukwila has been working on creating a self - sustaining, healthy neighborhood center along TIB, a former state highway and auto oriented area, but has had difficulty in achieving community goals. Comprehensive Plan goals and policies and design review guidelines were adopted, and an urban renewal and revitalization plan was created. The Comprehensive Plan's vision, goals, and policies were tweaked again in 2015 as a result of more community outreach. Significant public funds have been spent on catalyst projects, including s32.6 million for TIB and 5.144`h Street, and City of SeaTac and Sound Transit improvements to Southcenter Boulevard /S. 154th street, $32 million on the light rail station and parking lot, $15.8 million on private property acquisition by the City of Tukwila and $12.5 by the City of SeaTac. The neighborhood has a light rail station on the expanding LINK light rail system, running from the University of Washington through Seattle to the Sea -Tac international Airport. The Tukwila International Boulevard Station (TIBS) is different from others along the alignment in that it consists of a 600 stall park and ride lot, with none of the transit - oriented development apparent or planned for at other stations. The 2013 Growing Transit Communities study, a regional review of light rail stations by the Puget Sound Regional Council, found that the TIBS development market is weak, the environment is auto - oriented, and that the focus for this area should be on community enhancement and affordable housing preservation. What does "community enhancement" mean to the neighborhood, and how does it furtherthe goal of a healthy neighborhood? Despite public investments, the region's perception of the area's market is poor, redevelopment of deteriorating properties in line with the community's vision has been slow, safety is still a concern, and the street remains a dominant element and barrier running through the center of the neighborhood. The area still lacks a compelling identity that can serve as a source of pride. On the positive side, the neighborhood has a multicultural flavor stemming from an influx of immigrants and refugees from Bhutan, Nepal, Somalia, Mexico, and Latin America', has available underdeveloped properties, and has excellent access to transit. How can these opportunities be leveraged to create the region's premier community -based center for cultural and commercial activity? What are the best solutions to combat negative issues and capitalize on the area's assets? How can locals and the region be made to feel safer and how can community members be empowered to engage with others in their neighborhood? What can Tukwila do to preserve the existing housing while also encouraging new housing and redevelopment of underutilized properties?

The community's goal is to change the TIB corridor into a safe, attractive, healthy place to live, work and do business. Issues include: • leveraging multicultural assets/resources and determining how they contribute to creating a sense of place, • creating market demand and viable commercial spaces, • transitioning the TIB corridor from auto - dominated built environment to a neighborhood main street, • capitalizing on the proximity of a light rail system and easy access to the airport and downtown Seattle, • leveraging potential upcoming public facility investments, and • providing public open spaces and affordable housing when the area redevelops and intensifies. Legacy Goal #2 A Tukwila Charrette would increase participation of historically underrepresented communities in the design process and promote equity. Tukwila has had success in reaching out to its new immigrant underrepresented populations on a number of neighborhood issues and planning. The Charrette would expand involvement of their leaders in discussions on choices, consequences, and implementation strategies that serve their needs. Legacy Goal #1. A Legacy would bring a level of place making and urban design expertise beyond the reach of previous efforts in Tukwila. There are a lot of elements that contribute to vibrant place- making. In 1999, Tukwila created a TIB Urban Renewal and Revitalization Plan, improved the highway and created a design manual to guide redevelopment. A public private partnership that created Tukwila Village is currently under construction. The Village will be a mix of uses including market and affordable housing most of which is dedicated for seniors. However, changes are occurring in the area that were not envisioned in the 1999 Revitalization Plan. Sound Transit located a light rail station in the corridor instead of in the City's preferred location of its urban center. The TIB street design is not meeting the needs of the mix used commercial housing model and incremental changes are starting to occur in the streetscape. For example, a second frontage road is being installed in order to create a section of on- street parking. There seems to be a disconnect between the transportation system and framework and the and use goals. Among other things, this Charrette would include planning for the Tukwila International Boulevard Station (TIBS) and evaluate the relationship between streetscape and the preferred type of private development. Legacy Goal #4. A Tukwila Charrette would overcome the barriers to building great places and advance implementation. Most of the barriers are known and documented in prior planning efforts. Help is needed in devising effective solutions, as well as identifying timing and phasing. What are the key first steps to becoming a great place? The CNU technical experts will be instrumental in linking the barriers with the potential solutions. The process of engagement, discussion, and debate of issues, consequences, and costs among the technical staff of the City, property owners, adjacent affected residential neighborhoods, businesses, interest groups, and policy makers will then be the critical piece in advancing implementation. Legacy Goal #5. A Tukwila Legacy Charrette will help in creating replicable, sustainable and model community solutions in urbanism that can be duplicated along the light rail systems and historic suburban arterials. Tukwila's environment is not unique; however, Tukwila has shown a commitment to taking bold action to make positive changes. The solutions here can be a model for not only the Puget Sound but throughout the country. Legacy Criteria #1. Degree of likely success and some form of implementation. See paragraph under Opportunities for implementation. All the departments within the City have committed budget as well as time towards this Charrette process. The TIB neighborhood is a high priority for the City, as expressed in the City's Strategic and Comprehensive Plans and its continued budget decisions. Legacy Criteria #2. Existence of a project champion. The City of Tukwila, who has been working on a transformation of this area for 25 years, has adopted goals and policies for this area that clearly articulate the principles of new urbanism. CNU 25 1 Congress Legacy Charrette — Tukwila, WA 156 Page 2 of 3 In addition, a citizen group called Tukwila International Boulevard Action Committee meets monthly to discuss and advocate for the area. They are dedicated to this area including monthly Saturday a.m. trash pick -ups. Legacy Criteria #a. Tukwila's organizational assistance in public engagement, marketing_and background materials. The City is well resourced to provide all three elements. City staff have a presence in community groups including the schools, religious organizations, and community based organizations. A significant amount of staff generated material exists for the TIB Element of the Comprehensive Plan and Background Report, and DCD and its partner departments are budgeted to implement the TIB Element. The Department of Communications is committed to marketing the Charrette. Legacy Criteria #4. Supoortino historically underrepresented communities. The TIB neighborhood includes a large population of the City's underrepresented multicultural, low - income communities and students.' The Charrette will expand their participation in TIB planning efforts by engaging them in the implementation of their ideas. The City's Community Connectors program assists the City in reaching individuals from multicultural communities. This program won the 203.4 APA Washington Chapter and Planning Association of Washington award for Citizen involvement. Opportunities for new term implementation - A number of opportunities are poised to take place in 2o3.7/2o3.B: • The City's November 2016 bond measure for replacement of a fire station in the vicinity and a new justice center that will likely be in this neighborhood. How and where should they be placed in the neighborhood? • The Cities of SeaTac and Tukwila collectively own 10 parcels totaling 323,966 square feet of land for redevelopment. How should these parcels be used to catalyze redevelopment? • The work programs for the Cities of SeaTac and Tukwila include code updates related to this area. Target Audience — Tukwila City Council and Planning Commission, Sound Transit, King County Metro, representatives from: Tukwila International Boulevard Action Committee (TIBAC), local Church and Mosque, Community Connectors, neighborhood commercial and residential property owners, students, business members, local service agencies and the City of SeaTac. Desired Outcomes — Tangible outcomes listed below under Ideal Deliverables. Intangibles such as education of community leaders and consensus building on implementation measures, identification and development of neighborhood champions from residents and businesses. Ideal Deliverables • List of community enhancing programs /services that create a sense of safety and lead to better health • Form based code or recommended traditional code revisions including uses appropriate in TOD around the TIBS • Techniques for creating a finer grain of streets/blocks in a developed platted environment • Modified TIB Design Manual • Graphic examples of heights, area and bulk of future development and illustrating relationship to adjacent single family residences • Graphic master plan for neighborhood, including recommended plans for the City -owned parcels • How to address parking demand at TIBS and for other major land uses • Hierarchy of recommended transportation improvements that enhance safety, support commerce and provide mobility for all modes; Examples of street types and cross- sections if recommended • Type, size, location of public facilities that would catalyze neighborhood goals • White paper on strategies for retaining and growing affordable housing 2 Ethnicity in Tukwila: 37.5% Non- Hispanic White, 17.5% African American, 21.6 %Asian /Pacific Islander, 17.5% Latino Ethnicity in King County: 64.8% Non- Hispanic White, 6.0% African American, 15.2% Asian /Pacific Islander, 8.9% Latino CNU 25 I Congress Legacy Charrette— Tukwila, WA Page 3 of 3 157 1 58 Vicinity Map 12 miles to downtown Seattle Tukwila International Boulevard (TIM Neighborhood f =iii t 'CY 11911116i Vt.Y Normandy, 159 City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor Mayor's Office - David Cline, City Administrator August 29, 2016 William Herbig Project Director Congress for New Urbanism 1720 N Street, NW Washington DC 20036 Re: 2017 Legacy Charrette Program Dear Mr. Herbig, Please accept this official application for the 2017 Congress Legacy Charrette Program from the City of Tukwila. We are very enthusiastic about this opportunity. The City of Tukwila is a very unique municipality. The City encompasses 9.65 square miles and has a residential population of approximately 19,100 people with over 150,000 daytime visitors and workers. The school district is among the most diverse in the nation with students representing over 80 different world languages. We are currently exploring techniques for reconfiguring the Tukwila International Boulevard (1113) neighborhood corridor into a safer, healthier place with a vibrant mix of age, income, and multicultural households. In order to achieve this we need commerce and public spaces that support community vibrancy and stability. The opportunity to invite CNU to Tukwila to explore ideas and strategies is a great prospect for our city. The City has invested substantial resources on people and places in the TIB corridor. We are on the cusp of implementing a second edition of code changes and a second phase of public and private development. We want to get it right. We want our vision to become a reality. A CNU Charrette would not only provide critical perspective and national expertise, but also a unique opportunity for multiple stakeholders with unique views to discuss options and consequences. As noted in our application, our proposed 2017 -2018 budget includes implementation of the Tukwila International Boulevard Element of the Comprehensive Plan which includes updating our municipal code and infrastructure design and construction standards manual. We will also be negotiating development agreements for vacant City -owned land and future City facility investments in the neighborhood. We believe the principles of new urbanism are in alignment with Tukwila's vision and goals. We hope you will consider us for the Legacy Charrette Program because we believe this program could be catalytic for our City's future.
