CC: Mayor Ekberg
Date: April 19, 2017
Subject: Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB) Comprehensive Plan implementation
Issue
Update on work program for TIB Plan implementation & Congress for New Urbanism (CNU)
recommendations.
Background
The opportunity to be assisted by the Congress for New Urbanism and their professional
membership presented itself to the City in August of 2016. By October there was agreement
that implementation of the City of Tukwila's goals for the Tukwila International Boulevard
neighborhood would be a good project for CNU's Legacy Program, which pulls together a
relevant team of consultants from their members. The three-day event occurred in Tukwila from
February 23-25 and CND's final report will be presented at the May 1, 2017 City Council
meeting.
The CNU recommends that the City make supportive changes to development standards and
regulations for the TIB corridor to make it more land use, pedestrian and bike friendly. There
are several requirements that must occur before implementation can move forward.
Discussion
Three main steps must be taken to follow-through on implementing CNU's recommendations:
1. Ordinances must be drafted and circulated for review. The CNU draft recommendations
involve changes to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code maps as well as
modifications to the Zoning Code. Transportation modeling of changes that might occur
to street intersection level of service due to new street cross-sections are needed.
2. Environmental analysis in the form of a supplemental to the Comprehensive Plan's EIS
is required before any action may be taken by the City.
3. Public outreach and supporting materials and scheduling are needed. Changes to land
use regulations must be reviewed with the affected property owners in addition to the
broader community and overall changes in the transportation system require review by
the overall neighborhood and coordination with the City of SeaTac.

needed for the rechannelization/paint striping and signage and possibly to cover consultant
costs.
Recommendation
Discuss and provide feedback on work schedule.
