City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Development and Neighborhoods FROM: Brandon Miles, Business Relations Manager CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: May 8, 2018 SUBJECT: Lodging Tax Application Funding Request City of Tukwila-Southcenter 50 ISSUE Approval of funding a request by the City of Tukwila for lodging tax funds to be used for events, marketing, staffing, promotion, and other cost related to the Southcenter 50th Celebration. BACKGROUND The City of Tukwila's Office of Economic Development is requesting $90,500 in lodging tax funds to be used to mark the 50th anniversary of the opening of Southcenter Mall and to celebrate 50 years of the Southcenter District being the premier shopping, dining, and entertainment area in Puget Sound. Available Lodaing Tax Funds The City collects a 1% lodging tax on certain qualifying overnight stays in paid accommodations (hotels/motels/Airbnb) in the City. State law limits the use of these funds to tourism promotion'. There is currently just over $1.1 million in lodging tax funds available for use. This does not include revenue for the months April and May because of the two-month lag in receiving lodging tax funds from the State. Additionally, the City has budgeted to collect $755,000 in funds in 2018. Application Approval Process The City's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) reviews all requests, even by the City, for use of lodging tax funds. LTAC then forwards a list of recommended applications to the City Council for its review and consideration. If LTAC does not recommend an application be funded, that application is not forwarded to the City Council. The City Council may approve or deny any of the applications recommended by the LTAC. The City Council may also approve an application and increase or decrease the dollar amount awarded2. The City accepts applications on a rolling basis, with the LTAC reviewing requests monthly. 1 RCW 67.28.080 (6) defines "tourism promotion" as "...activities, operations, and expenditures designed to increase tourism, including but not limited to advertising, publicizing, or otherwise distributing information for the purpose of attracting and welcoming tourists; developing strategies to expand tourism; operating tourism promotion agencies; and funding the marketing of or the operation of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists." 2 On August 17, 2016, the Washington State Attorney General's Office issued an informal opinion regarding whether a municipality could change the dollar amounts recommended by the local lodging tax advisory committee. Specifically, the informal opinion states: "When awarding lodging tax revenues pursuant to RCW 67.28.1816(2)(b)(ii), a municipality may award amounts different from the local lodging tax advisory committee's recommended amounts, but only after satisfying the procedural requirements of RCW 67.28.1817(2), according to which the municipality must submit its proposed change to the advisory committee for review and comment at least forty-five days before final action on the proposal." 1 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 Pending Applications There is currently one application from the City of Tukwila pending. The LTAC reviewed the application at its May 1, 2018 meeting and recommends funding the application as submitted. 1. City of Tukwila. Southcenter 50 (S90.500). The City of Tukwila is requesting $90,500 in funding as part of the Southcenter 50 celebration. In May of 1968, Southcenter Mall, now known as Westfield Southcenter opened its doors to the public. At the time of its opening it was the second largest, climate -controlled shopping center in the country. Westfield Southcenter is known as one of the premier shopping destinations in the Pacific Northwest. The opening of Southcenter Mall was a catalyst for the huge growth of retail and commercial activity in Tukwila's Southcenter Neighborhood, recognized by Puget Sound residents as convenient place for shopping, dining, hotels, and family fun. And it all started with the Mall's opening in 1968. Working with Westfield, the Chamber, and other partners, the City would like to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Southcenter Shopping District. The impetus of this celebration is this year's 50th anniversary of the Mall; however, besides just celebrating the Mall's opening, we will also celebrate 50 years of Southcenter being one of the premier shopping districts in the Puget Sound, as well as the future. Last year the City received $50,000 funding to begin the initial planning, promotion, and development of the Southcenter 50th celebration. Approximately, $26,600 was spent and/or committed for the Southcenter 50th. The City is requesting to roll the unspent/uncommitted balance of $23,400 to this application and is also requesting an additional $67,100 in additional funds ($23,400 + $67,100 = $90,500 (not to exceed). The Southcenter 50 campaign includes, but is not limited to: 1. Activation with signage in and around the core shopping area. 2. 5k, in partnership with the Seattle Sounders. 3. Evening events. 4. Enhancing and marketing Touch a Truck as a "Southcenter 50th" event. 5. Two Promotional Videos. 6. History promotion 7. Creation of a video highlighting the early history of the area; building and opening of the Mall; buildout of the area; and what the future holds. 8. PR and Advertising promotion. 9. Social Media, including hourly rate for an intern. 10. Symposium focused on the future of shopping, dining, and entertainment. 11. Engage the public to share their own stories about Southcenter. 12. Sponsorship of third party activities in the Southcenter area. 13. Other general marketing, branding, and promotional activities. The funding requested will be used for the Southcenter 50th Celebration, which will commence this summer. The City's funds are to celebrate the entire district. Only the actual costs will be 2 billed. Funds not used will remain in the lodging tax fund and are eligible to be used next year. A INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 conceptual budget is attached with the application. Funds may be moved between the various categories as the Southcenter 50 campaign progresses. Westfield Southcenter will be providing a significant amount of in-kind contribution, including allowing the City to have use advertising area at the Mall and allowing the Mall parking area to be used to stage a 5K run. Additionally, Westfield will be hosting and paying for an evening event on July 31st FINANCIAL IMPACT The total amount of funding requested from the lodging tax fund is $59,064. As discussed above, the City has budgeted the collection of $755,000 in lodging tax revenue in 2018. 2018 Lodging Tax Overview Notes Revenue Estimated Fund Balance $1,167,394 Projected Lodging Tax Revenue (Budgeted) $755,000 This was the budgeted estimated in the adopted City budget. Expenditures Committed Funds Seattle Southside Regional Tourism Authority ($292,500) In 2017, the City approved a two-year application and contract with Seattle Southside Regional Tourism Authority. The number shown reflects the funds committed for 2018. City of Tukwila, General Administration ($59,064) Approved by City Council on February 19, 2018. Pendina Applications City of Tukwila Southcenter 50 Celebration ($90,500) Approved by LTAC on May 1, 2018. Total Approved and Pending expenditures: ($442,064) Estimated Additional Funds Available for Activities: $1,480,330 RECOMMENDATION The LTAC considered the request at its May 1, 2018 meeting and recommended approval of the request.

Js/ Signature: April 30, 2018 Date: 5 1) Describe your tourism -related activity or event. In May of 1968, Southcenter Mall, now known as Westfield Southcenter opened its doors to the public. At the time of its opening it was the largest, climate controlled shopping center in the country. Westfield Southcenter is known as one of the premier shopping destinations in the Pacific Northwest. The opening of Southcenter Mall was a catalyst for the huge growth of retail and commercial activity in Tukwila's Southcenter Neighborhood, recognized by Puget Sound residents as convenient place for shopping, dining, hotels, and family fun. And it all started with the Mall's opening in 1968. Working with Westfield, the Chamber, and other partners, the City would like to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Southcenter Shopping District. The impetus of this celebration is next year's 50th anniversary of the Mall; however, besides just celebrating the Mall's opening, we will also celebrate 50 years of Southcenter being one of the premier shopping districts in the Puget Sound, as well as the future. Last year the City received $50,000 funding to begin the initial planning, promotion, and development of the Southcenter 50th celebration. Approximately, $26,560 was spent and/or committed for the Southcenter 50th. The City is requesting to roll the unspent/uncommitted balance of $23,400 to this application and is also requesting an additional $67,060 in additional funds. The funding requested will be used for the Southcenter 50th Celebration, which will commence this summer. The City's funds are to celebrate the entire district. 1. Activation with signage in and around the core shopping area. 2. 5k, in partnership with the Seattle Sounders. 3. Evening events. 4. Enhancing and marketing Touch a Truck as a "Southcenter 50th" event. 5. Two Promotional Videos. 6. History promotion 7.

Sponsorship of third party activities in the Southcenter area. 13. Other general marketing and promotional activities. Overall, this is a marketing campaign to promote the Southcenter area as the premier shopping, dining, and entertainment area in the Puget Sound. 2) Tukwila's brand signature experience is built on the following themes: 2 6 • Family Entertainment • Shopping • Fun with Friends Describe how your event, activity, or festival builds on one or all the themes listed above: Southcenter 50 will be consistent around the entire Tukwila brand and the brand pillars described above. The Southcenter District has a wide variety of shopping and family entertainment. Several of th events, such as Touch a Truck and the Sounder 5K, are focused on family fun and fun with friends. 3) If an event, list the event name, date(s), and projected overall attendance. Touch A Truck: 1,000 Sounder Run: 2,500 Evening Events: 300 Third Party Events: 1,000 The Southcenter 50 is primarily a marketing campaign for the entire district. Our overall media impression target is 1 million. 4) Is your event/activity/facility focusing on attracting overnight tourists, day tourists, or both? Both. 5) Describe why visitors will travel to Tukwila to attend your event/activity/facility. The Southcenter District is the premiere shopping district in the Puget Sounds. Over 100,000 people visit the district every day. The District is conveniently located at the intersection of 1-405 and 1-5. The events are unique, such as the Sounder 5K run and Southcenter 50 evening events. 6) Describe the geographic target of the visitors you hope to attract (locally, regionally, nationally, and/or internationally). Primarily people within a one-hour drive of the City. However, hotel guests in the Southcenter area will also enjoy and benefit from the events. 7) Describe the prior success of your event/activity/facility in attracting tourists. The Southcenter District generates just over $2 billion in taxable retail sales a year, with approximately $388 million being attributed to tourists (Dean Runyan). The Touch a Truck event is an existing event that continued to grow and the Seattle Sounders 5K was operating in Redmond for the last few years and has had strong attendance. Again, the Southcenter 50 is primarily a marketing and promotional initiative. 3 7 The City has also brought in partners, including the Chamber, Westfield, and Seattle Sounders to help with the events and promotions. These partners have a proven record of holding first rate events. 8) If this your first time holding the event/activity/facility provide background on why you think it will be successful. No. 9) Describe how you will promote lodging establishments, restaurants, retailers, and entertainment establishments in the City of Tukwila. The Southcenter 50 campaign will promote all of the offering in the Southcenter District area including, restaurants, shopping, hotels, etc. 10) As part of the City's branding process, the City committed to using the "Tukwila" name above other names often used to describe the City (or parts of the City), such as "Southcenter" or "Seattle." a) If you are existing entity currently operating in the City does your entity list its physical location as being in Tukwila? If not, why? (Note: This question is only with the city being used to describe your location, it does not apply to out of area marketing, which may say "Seattle" of "Seattle Southside."). Yes. This campaign will use the "Tukwila" name very prominently. b) If you are proposing a new activity, festival, or event will it be described as occurring in "Tukwila?" Yes, all new and existing events will say Tukwila. "Southcenter District" may be used, but will be use in conjunction with the "Tukwila" name. c) If you are proposing a marketing program please outline how the "Tukwila" name will be used, promoted, used in promotional materials and used in social media. Tukwila will be use prominently in all marketing and social media posts. 4 8 11) Measurements and Metrics (Note: You will be required to report these metrics as part of the close out of the agreement between your organization and the City.) As a direct result of your proposed tourism -related service, provide an estimate of: a.

Number of paid lodging room nights resulting from your proposed event/ activity/facility (for example: 25 paid rooms on Friday and 50 paid rooms on Saturday = 75 paid lodging room nights) 5 2,500 Again, this primarily a marketing and promotional campaign to build overall brand awareness for Tukwila and to help build the brand. 9 12) What methodologies did you use to calculate the estimates and what methodologies will you use to track outcomes, such as total participants, estimated visitor spending, etc.? For the events, these are estimates based on experience. Media and marketing impressions will be tracked throughout the campaign. 13) Are you applying for lodging tax funds from another community? If so, which communities and in what amounts? No. 14) Are you applying funding from Seattle Southside Regional Tourism Authority (SSRTA)? If so, in what amount? No. 15) What is the overall budget for your event/activity/facility? What percent of the budget are you requesting from the City of Tukwila?

BACKGROUND Tukwila's animal regulations at TMC section 7.08 were updated in 2011 in response to a request from the public to allow increased opportunities for residents to raise chickens. The regulations were updated again in 2015 to align with the King County Animal Control Code. The following table compares the current restrictions on chicken keeping in the South King County jurisdictions of Burien, Des Moines, SeaTac, Kent, and Renton, as well as Tukwila and Seattle. Min. Lot City Size Setback: Lot Line Setback: residence # allowed Regs Revised Seattle NONE NONE 10 ft 8 2010 Renton t 4,500 sq ft 10 ft* NONE 3** 2017 Kent 5,000 sq ft 10 ft NONE 3** 2007 SeaTac NONE Per Zone NONE 5*** 2005 Burien NONE 10 ft 20 ft 3**** 2016 Des Moines 22,000 sq ft 35 ft 45 ft 10 2014 Tukwila NONE 20 ft 65 ft 1/1000 sf , 2015 * Renton allows coops and kennels in rear yards only ** 1 additional chicken allowed per each additional 1,000 sf. ***SeaTac allows a total of 5 "outside animals," which includes chickens and roosters. **** 5 for 7,200 sf and then 1 per 1,000 additional sf up to 15 Sources: Seattle Municipal Code 23.42.052, Renton Municipal Code 4-4-010, Kent Municipal Code 15.08.070, SeaTac Municipal Code 15.440.100, Burien Municipal Code 19.17.100, Des Moines Municipal Code 18.150.080, and Tukwila Municipal Code 7.08 Tukwila does not have a minimum lot size for keeping chickens, instead treating them as an accessory use. This means that chickens cannot be kept on an otherwise vacant parcel but must be associated with another permitted use such as a residence or business. The limitation of one chicken per 1,000 sf of parcel area relates the number of chickens to the size of the parcel. 15 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 Since the adoption of the Tukwila Works platform, only 9 reported issues have directly mentioned rats or rodents. Since 2014, Code Enforcement has opened approximately 16 cases with direct mention of rats, rodents, or mice. Of these, one case related to chickens (approximately 30 roosters were onsite). All other reported rat, rodent, or mice complaints were related to other sources of concern such as an accumulation of garbage/rubbish, overgrowth, and vacant structures. One complaint was related to bird feeding. Two complaints were related to multifamily housing, both of which involved concern regarding tenant housekeeping. In 2016, Tukwila's Residential Rental Business License Requirements at TMC section 5.06.040 were updated in response to public concern regarding pests in multi -family housing. A new requirement was placed on multi -family properties to document an ongoing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. The Rental Housing team has found that most property owners and managers are unfamiliar with IPM. Education plays a critical role in Code Enforcement's approach to correcting and preventing violations. Code Enforcement continually strives to educate residents on the community impact of garbage and overgrowth violations. The Rental Housing Program website currently hosts two IPM training videos (which include: "Managing Pests in Multifamily Housing" and "StopPests' IPM Coordinator Training"), the IPM Guide for Affordable Housing; and links to additional IPM resources. Staff have attended an IPM workshop, routinely discuss IPM with property owners and managers and are continuing to enhance IPM efforts. Code Enforcement has developed a handout that specifically addresses garbage/rubbish concerns with future plans to develop a handout focused on overgrowth. DISCUSSION Most rat issues have historically been directed to King County Public Health, therefore the scope of rat related concerns across the city is unclear. Tukwila Works and past Code Enforcement case history indicate that though the keeping of chickens plays a role in rat related complaints, based on case history, chickens appear to represent a very small part of the problem. More commonly issues are related to bird feeders, pet food kept outdoors, fruit trees dropping fruit and unsecured garbage. Implementing universal curbside garbage service for all residential properties (with a possible opt out clause) would have several benefits. In addition to regular weekly curbside disposal, ALL residents would also have the opportunity to participate in the bulk item curbside pick-up event and any other special disposal events offered by Waste Management. This should reduce stockpiling of garbage by self -haulers and the associated pests. The ability to opt out could be forfeited if garbage/rubbish related violations are verified by Code Enforcement. FINANCIAL IMPACT The only direct costs would be outreach and staff time. Implementing a universal garbage requirement would likely lower citywide waste disposal costs.

(Ord. 2466 §2 (part), 2015) Produced by the City of Tukwila, City Clerk's Office City of Tukwila INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Allan Ekberg, Mayor TO: Community Development and Neighborhoods Committee FROM: Jack Pace, DCD Director BY: Nora Gierloff, Deputy DCD Director; Stacy Hansen, Human Services Coordinator CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: May 8, 2018 SUBJECT: Zoning for Homeless Services BACKGROUND Tukwila's Zoning Code does not address shelters or services for those experiencing homelessness. The only definition of shelter in the TMC is limited to serving people escaping domestic violence or teen runaways. This use is permitted in the LDR, MDR, HDR, MUO, and 0 zones. 18.06.743 Shelter "Shelter" means a building or use providing residential housing on a short-term basis for victims of abuse and their dependents, or a residential facility for runaway minors (children under the age of 18). In addition to overnight accommodation, homeless services could include a hygiene facility, social service providers, medical care, day care/after school care, and clothing banks. A year and a half ago Mary's Place approached Tukwila with a proposal to open a temporary shelter to provide services for families experiencing homelessness. Because this use was not specifically permitted under Tukwila zoning staff worked with Mary's Place to create a development agreement for a proposed location in the City. Due to operational restrictions in the development agreement, environmental constraints of the proposed site, the limited number of families that could be accommodated under the building code, and the cost of required tenant improvements ultimately Mary's Place opted not to pursue the Tukwila location. Mary's Place recently opened a shelter in the old White Center Public Health Center to serve approximately 70 people. The building lends itself to the use with separate spaces for eating and sleeping. It is adjacent to a food bank and is on a bus line that serves major employment centers. Mary's Place is considering purchasing a 23,000 square foot former drug and alcohol addiction treatment center in Burien with private rooms, a commercial kitchen, large common W:\2018 Info Memos\Shelter Zoning Memo.docx 19 20 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 areas, medical facilities, and parking. The Burien location would provide housing and employment resources during the day and shelter for approximately 200 people each night. 2017 Statistics: • Students experiencing homelessness in the Tukwila School District: 243 out of 3,037 students are registered as McKinney Vento Students (8%). • Catholic Community Services provided one-time rent/utility eviction prevention funds to 59 (27 households) Tukwila residents at risk of eviction/utility shut-off. • Domestic Abuse Women's Network DAWN, provided confidential shelter, 252 bed nights to 4 Tukwila residents. • Hospitality House provided 151 bed nights to three homeless, single Tukwila women. • Refugee Women's Alliance provided $7,000 rent/utility assistance to 34 Tukwila household providing housing stability (eviction prevention/utility shut-off) • Multi Service Center provided one-time rent/utility assistance totaling $39,000 to stabilize 74 Tukwila households (188 individuals) at imminent risk of homelessness • Multi Service Center Shelter provided 2 homeless Tukwila households (8 individuals) with 1,349 bed nights. • Nexus Street Outreach made 56 contacts with homeless Tukwila youth, provided 70 health, hygiene, food and clothing packs and enrolled 4 youth in case management services. • REACH Center of Hope Day -Evening Shelter (Renton) served 23 homeless Tukwila families/women with 1,116 bed nights. • SKC Public Health Mobile Dental Van (dental for the homeless) provided 65 dental visits to 21 homeless residents in Tukwila. • Sound PATH Homeless Outreach Team provided 204 hours of case management to 25 Tukwila residents who were experiencing homelessness. • Tukwila Community Center has provided 4,400 free showers in the past 7 months. 95% of those were to people experiencing homelessness. • Way Back Inn — Provided 1,812 bed nights to 10 Tukwila households (31 residents) in 3 Tukwila properties (4 units) of transitional housing to homeless Tukwila families. DISCUSSION The South King Housing and Homelessness Partnership 2017 year-end report in the March 13, 2018 CDN packet summarizes the response to the growing housing crisis in our area. The cities of Federal Way, Kent, Renton, Burien and Auburn all have emergency and/or year-round shelters for different populations. In Tukwila two churches have periodically hosted Tent City homeless encampments and one provides informal transitional housing. The Tukwila Community Center operates as an informal hygiene center by allowing use of the locker room on a walk-in basis. This is going through a significant change -currently in a reduced days/hours pilot until month end. The Council may want to develop definitions for emergency shelters, transitional housing and homeless services, explore what zones are appropriate for these uses and develop criteria and W:\2018 Info Memos\Shelter Zoning Memo.docx INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 an approval processes for siting these uses. This would provide greater certainty for any future agency interested in establishing these in Tukwila. Considerations for siting homeless services include: 1. Are shelters more appropriate in residential, mixed use, commercial or industrial zones? See Tukwila's zoning map at http://www.tukwilawa.gov/wp-content/uploads/ComP- Plan Zoning-Map.pdf . 2. Should shelters or other homeless services be permitted outright or subject to a public review process such as a conditional or unclassified use permit? If so what criteria should be used? 3. Should they be limited to locations within a certain distance of transit or other supportive services? See Attachment B for a map of transit routes in Tukwila. 4. Should there be minimum buffers between shelters and certain other uses? 5. Should homeless services and shelters continue to be allowed as accessory uses to religious institutions without City review? FINANCIAL IMPACT No direct costs except for public outreach and staff time if the Council is interested in developing an ordinance. RECOMMENDATION Information and discussion only. This item could be added to the 2019-2020 budget goals. ATTACHMENTS A. Definitions and standards from Regional Cities B.
