Make the change to include SMALLER properties!!
What percentage of Tukwila lots would be effected?
Who cares what a person decides to build on their property as lomg as it doesn't create a health
hazard to their neighbors?
Why allow two houses on one LDR lot when present PRD is 5525SF. Poor choice for housing infil.
By changing the lot size and allowing an ADU Low Density Residential zoning in Tukwila would
virtually cease to exist. Two homes on 6,500 square feet is what I would consider High Density for
a single family home neighborhood.
If is quality and number of residents is regulated and distance from neighbors property
Tukwila should also reduce all residental lots sizes to 6,000 square feet from 6,500.
Minimum lot size should be dependent on if ADU is attached or detached. 6500 for attached. 7200
for detached.
If the ADU is attached to the house, or above a detached garage, 6500 sq ft would be ok. Keep
the same if detached (backyard cottages) are allowed (although I would not like backyard
cottages).

1 It should depend on the size of the lot
2 Yes if lot coverage remains the same as it is now.
3 Please, allow this! Housing is SUCH a struggle for this county. We need more options!!
4 Shouldn't a person be allowed to house their mother-in-law without having her live in their house?
5 Owner s choice , can be either backyard cottages or detached AUD
6 City council should have their heads examined for spending money on a suspicious idea. Instead
of one rental property their will be two. Where is the benefit for the community.
7 This could be useful for certain people, but not appropriate for all....overall this may be a good
solution to certain circumstances., bad for others.
8 This is the most important change.
9 One house pure lot.
10 No rehab or halfway houses, etc.
11 Much additional affordable housing is needed.
12 Design should reflect design of original/main home and/or neighborhood.
13 Yes, but lot square footage should be more compared to ADUs.
14 Would not mind if an ADU was above the garage even if the garage is not attached to the house.
Would not like to see 2 homes on 1 lot.

9 Would I be happy if an 800 sq ft building went up in my neighbors backyard. No! Would he be 7/18/2017 5:46 PM
happy if one went up in my backyard? No. Why create all that unhappiness?
10 For scale and blending, it should be a percentage of the existing structure and some ratio of the lot 7/17/2017 4:00 PM
size. Maybe up tp 1000 sqft.
11 Unless it's above a garage and the garage is 800 sq ft, then ADU would be ok at 800 sq ft. 7/17/2017 11:44 AM
12 I would suggest approximately the size of a generous studio, I am not sure what that would equate 7/14/2017 6:10 PM
to but I am thinking maybe 500 -600 sq feet?
13 And also 800 Sqf should not include the parking space. 7/14/2017 11:24 AM

5 Is the City worried about over crowding when it is building a monstrosity of a low income housing 7/21/2017 4:07 PM

6 AUDs should be allowed up half the sq footage of the main house 7/20/2017 7:42 PM
7 Only If the ADU is on a 7200SF lot, then and only then could ADU be 1000SF. 7/20/2017 6:10 PM
8 Yes, up to 800 sf max 7/18/2017 9:34 PM
9 This creates a duplex. 7/18/2017 5:46 PM
10 a single amount seems better, so an adu could be the limit of 800 square feet 7/17/2017 4:30 PM
11 Lot size should be a factor making sure the structure does not cover the entire lot. Scale scale a 7/17/2017 4:00 PM

12 Most homes would not allow up to half of the square footage, but for those that can, we feel it 7/13/2017 11:41 AM
should be allowed.

1 Who cares? There are cars parked all over the place. Just keep the cars parked off of the streets.
2 if the MIL is for one person why two cars? somehow, the parking spaces should match the number
of cars that belong to the residents of the MIL
3 Its important that ADUs not effect street parking
4 Parking is already a HUGE issue in Tukwila. Off street parking is essential if we are going to have
passable roads.
5 City should LIMIT additional parking to one space
6 Parking is generally a problem in the city, let's not exacerbate the parking problem.
7 Is a parking space considered a place in the driveway, in front of the garage?
8 The density of this area is increasing. Many people will ride public tranist and only have a max of
one car. The current 2 additional spots seems to not take into account the current culture of the
area.
9 Encourage less car use.

This is the main problem. As a past Tukwila Building Inspector I found developers buying
properties to convert the property into a duplex with no intention of living there. I brought this to the
attention of the Planning Director and was told that requiring the owner live at the residence was
not enforceable. A study was done a while ago about the percent of rental units in the city. There
must have been some concern.
2 Again, this is a MUCH needed change to support this crowded, growing region!! Affordable options
are shrinking!!
3 Okay as long as a professional property manager is Managing property!!!
4 No, these changes should be for housing family and friends not for converting the LDR lots into
high density, money making lots which would destry the charm of LDR neighborhoods.
5 Allow rent out both the house and AUD if the owner lives in the premise or not
6 But only on 7200SF lots otherwise there is no benefit to the community.
7 Its important to for Tukwila to remain an owner occupied city.
8 If both units are rentals more multi -family buildings which are unregulated will be created. Do we
really need more multi -family dwellings in Tukwila? We already have more per capita than any
other city in the state.
9 no! owner occupation is a must
10 Lets not encourage absentee landlords who are mostly profit and not community oriented.
11 People own these buildings and should be able to do what they want with them. There are so
many existing codes and rental requirements it is the least we can do for people who have to abide
by all of those regulations and business license.
12 No slum lords please

concerns, given the foreign environment of our citizens as to how they would be kept and what
they would look like. We have a boarding house at the end of our street and it was not unusual to
have 14-18 cars parked there until we complained. the owner says he lives there but we neighbors
seriously doubt it. Having a nonowner occupancy allowance leaves room for the excuse of "not
knowing" what is going on and depending on neighbors to police activity.
Allowing detached ADU's will certainly increase the appeal for developers and landlords to
purchase properties to profit from multiple tenant properties. It is happening now. In many cases
the property owners do not live at the residence. The council should not adopt unenforceable
regulation. This will certainly change the character of Tukwila. Attached ADU's have already
changed Tukwila's character. I believe this will increase Tukwila's problem with irresponsible
landlords.
10 Thank you for making the survey. There are already several of these type units, have some good
guidelines/boundaries is a great idea.

19 Vintage laws do not apply well to modern times.
20 It would be helpful to have more specific information on these issues in order to provide more
informed responses.
21 I know if one of my relatives needed to stay with us, it would be great to have an ADU (well built
and with curb appeal). I don't see any reason not to allow these in Tukwila, provided they are not
eye sores and well maintained.
22 Feel strongly that increased opportunities for ADU on private properties can only increase the
options for housing and the prosperity of the region!
23 Keep Tukwila a single family/single home community And NO MORE high-rises, despite the
bribes

ADU Changes SurveyMonkey
24 Property managers need to be involved if both units are rented, expecially if owner is out of state!
otherwise you can quickly lose the upkeep that comes from pride in ownership. Square foot of
detachable dwelling could be larger if lot size is larger but capped at 800 square feet
25 More and more people moving into Tukwila and low density zoning should be changed to full fill
the needs of housing.
26 City should also look at results of sticky dot exercise (@ Showalter MS and Tukwila CC) several
years ago, prior to Comp Plan update.
27 Nobody likes a busybody. We do not need a "nanny state". We can make our own decisions - as
long as they do not, negatively, affect others.
28 More parking, not less, it seems that the Asus are capable of two or more adults, most will have
cars, street parking is getting scarce
29 Which Council persons plan to recuse themselves because they own lots 7200SF or are
considering ADU on their property?
30 Why are the new lot sizes in Georgetown as low as 2500' LDR lots?
31 yes fir cottage and tiny homes!
32 Thank you for requesting input, and for considering this shift in policy.
33 These ADU's will be an increase to the population of Tukwila. I hope that the City ensures we are
able to provide the necessary services to current citizens and provide for growth.
34 I wouldn't mind allowing a current garage on the property to be converted to an ADU if an
additional parking space was required and all of the other current ADU requirements weremet.
35 Stop making Tukwila a slum.
36 While there are some valid, compelling reasons for ADUs let's not destroy the single family
neighborhoods that we have....there just aren't that many of them.
37 Constituits get tired of their local governments trying to control every aspect of their personal
decisions concerning their properties and lifestyles.
38 This is a positive and needed way to address the affordable housing issues we face.
39 Please do not sneak anymore halfway, sexoffender, rehab houses into our neighborhood
40 Thank you.
41 I see these units as a place for seniors or a disabled family member that needs help. They should
not be built solely as a revenue stream for the home owner
42 Let's try to accommodate more affordable housing, without destroying the appearance , integrity,
aesthetics and scale of our neighborhoods. If we had wanted ghetto style, appearance and culture,
we would have looked elsewhere outside the city of Tukwila.
43 It is great that the city is moving in a positive way to create affordable housing. This will help build
a stronger and secure neighborhoods.
44 this is one of the solution to resolve the housing crisis in urban area.
45 We appreciate your work on options for affordability. I am also eager to hear if and when cottage
developments (with parking on the periphery of a cluster) will be allowed again on larger lots as
historically.
46 To clarify I am a property owner in Tukwila but not a resident
47 Trees! City should have an official arborist on staff to promote care and preservation of mature
trees, and incorporation of existing trees into new project designs. All building permits should
require arborist's sign -off. Codes against cutting down mature trees should be enacted and
enforced. Public needs to be educated about the value of trees and alternatives to removal.
48 The easiest way to increase affordable housing is with ADU's.
49 I own a house across from the Duawamish in Tukwila. I think increasing density is a good idea.
50 The ADU should not have to be of like style to the main house. Keeping this requirement will stop
the building of more efficient and practical housing alternatives.

ADU Changes SurveyMonkey
51 I believe that amending the code to encourage ADU's will help homeowners battle the ever 7/13/2017 12:06 PM
increasing housing costs in our area, as well as provide affordable housing for tenants.
Additionally, because many ADU's are already in existence, I would encourage the city to offer a
program to grandfather in existing ADU's (I have no idea how that would work, but I have heard of
other municipalities doing that very thing)
52 We like this idea to help with housing needs! 7/13/2017 11:42 AM
53 What would the rules be for utilities: water sewer and electricity? 7/13/2017 11:10 AM
