INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Kathy Hougardy, City Councilmember and LTAC Chair
BY: Brandon Miles, Business Relations Manager
DATE: June 8, 2018
SUBJECT: 2018 Lodging Tax Advisory Committee
ISSUE
I am recommending that the City Council reappoint six existing members and appoint two new
members to the City's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC).
BACKGROUND
The City imposes a 1% lodging tax on the certain overnight stays at area hotels and motels. In
2018, the City's budget estimates that the City will receive approximately $755,000 in lodging
tax funds. Under Washington State law, lodging tax proceeds can only be used for tourism
promotion (overnight and day visitors) and other tourism related activities (RCW 67.28.1816).
In order to collect the lodging tax and spend the funds collected, the City is required by State
Law to have a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee. The Committee makes recommendations to
the City Council on any request to use lodging funds, including requests by the City. The City
Council can accept or reject any of the LTAC recommendations.
The City's LTAC has nine members. Four of the members are representatives of businesses
that are required to collect the tax (hoteliers), four are persons involved in activities authorized
to be funded by the tax (non -hoteliers); and one member is a City elected official who serves as
the LTAC chair, traditionally the elected official has been a City Councilmember.
State Law requires that the City Council, "review the membership of the advisory committee
annually and make changes as appropriate (RCW 67.28. 1817)." This annual review
requirement is also found in Tukwila Municipal Code 2.35.020 (D).
DISCUSSION
In order to meet the requirements of State Law and the City Council's adopted resolution, I am
recommending that the following individuals be reappointed to the LTAC to continue to serve
until May 31, 2019. I am also recommending two new appointments to the Committee, copies of
the applications for the new appointments are attached for your ease of reference.

Currently, I am the manager at Sunrise Garden Suites, formerly known as Americas
Best Value Inn Tukwila. Please refer to my resume for previous professional history.
Hobbies/Interests:
Digital marketing, strategic development, arts and culture, circus aerials
Qualifications as related to this position:
My family owns several properties located in the Tukwila/Seatac area. We acquired the Americas Best
Value Inn on Interurban Ave last year. Consequently, we have a direct stake in the growth and
development of Tukwila as a community. Shaping the reputation and image of Tukwila in the years to
come will directly impact all of the businesses and residents who live here. My background in digital
marketing strategy may provide a valuable perspective in how best to shape the perception of Tukwila in
the future.
Other comments/additional information for consideration:
Based on some personal conversations, it seems that Tukwila is poised to revamp its image and really
capitalize on the influx of people, investment and talent coming into the Greater Seattle Area. Having
someone on the team who is a digital native when it comes to marketing, may be very helpful when it
comes to assessing technological initiatives and marketing costs.

Findings
Exhibit B
The applicant requests an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Map and a
corresponding rezone from Low Density Residential (LDR) to High Density Residential (HDR) on
four adjacent undeveloped lots totaling 10.5 acres.
If the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use and the Zoning map changes are approved, the contract
purchaser proposes to construct 247 Senior Housing units in a four-story structure on the four
southerly parcels A - D. (Figure 1). Changing the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning maps are no
guarantee that the project would be built as initially proposed but is provided as an example of a
potential future development. The Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Designations and the
subject site are outlined in green. Existing LDR zoning is shaded in yellow, High Density
Residential located along 51 Avenue S. in brown, Commercial Light Industrial in purple and
Office in blue.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone Decision Criteria (TMC 18.84.020):
The City Council's decision to grant a Comprehensive Plan map change and rezone shall be
supported by written findings and conclusions showing specifically that all of the following
conditions exist. Approval of the map changes requires the adoption of an ordinance.

Background
Annexation History
The subject property became part of Tukwila in 1989 as part of the Fire District #1 annexation.
At the time of annexation, the property was zoned to reflect the prior King County zoning. When
the Comprehensive Plan and city-wide zoning were subsequently reviewed, no changes were
proposed to the original King County designations.
Public Comment
On May 2, 2017, staff held the required public information meeting for residents and property
26 owners within 500 feet of the site. Several property owners attended the meeting to ask
Page 2 of 12 05/29/2018
questions. One written comment was received that stated opposition to additional traffic on
47Avenue S. because of safety concerns for local children and provided the opinion that 47
Avenue S. is not capable of handling the additional traffic volume. They requested that access to
the proposed multi -family development site be from Martin Luther King Junior Way South
(MLKJWS). The City Engineer responded that MLKJWS is designated by Washington State
Department of Transportation as limited access and therefore not available for ingress/egress.
The City Engineer has requested that at the time of a future development proposal that
additional traffic analysis be provided.
Because of the lapse in time since the required public meeting in May of 2017, and the initiation
of neighborhood -wide meeting in November of 2017 (see "Ryan Hill Neighborhood Study"
section below), staff held a second public meeting using an expanded mailing. There were no
citizens or comments received at the May 9, 2018 public meeting.
Ryan Hill Neighborhood Study
Staff initiated a neighborhood -wide study that looked at existing conditions, potential
development scenarios and surveyed property owners and residents. The study revealed a
number of things that were unknown.
The residents and property owners have differing opinions about the future of the neighborhood.
Opinions generally depend on where they live or own property within the neighborhood. Higher
residential density and housing options are more desirable to property owners north of the
Seattle City Light right of way than south of the right of way.
Additionally, there was overall support for a neighborhood retail node that would provide
additional neighborhood services. Neighborhood input also indicated that the neighborhood's
existing characteristics were an asset as it was described as a "rural oasis in the city."
Except for the approximate 15 -acre Raisbeck property located along the west side of the
neighborhood and bordering MLKJRWS, which is the subject of this rezone request, future
development is likely to be small scale (short plats) and developed incrementally. Development
of less than 4 lots does not require frontal improvements nor would a through connection be
financially feasible for most short plat developers.
The lack of regional stormwater facilities and the difficulties associated with on-site storm
infiltration and/or detention on steep slopes impacts the near term developability of many
properties. In areas where redevelopment is more feasible, the needed water and sewer
infrastructure improvements identified in the study can be incrementally installed. The
incrementally added infrastructure will be able to support the long-term service objectives
outlined within the study.
Enhancing and improving the circulation system is feasible from an engineering standpoint but
not likely from a financial standpoint. The 1,200 -foot -long dead end road (twice the length of the
City's maximum standard) can be eliminated by connecting between the 109th/48th and
27
Page 3 of 12 05/29/2018
28
110th/49th Avenue S intersections. The City, however, has many street projects, and this new
connection is unlikely in the near future as a public project.
Finally, the Raisbeck property, which is the Vintage@Tukwila site, is a linchpin for extending
sewer service to properties north of the Seattle City Light right of way and south of S. 107th
Street.
Vicinity/Site Information
The subject site is in the Ryan Hill neighborhood and is primarily characterized by
environmentally sensitive features located on or in its vicinity. The topographic survey provided
by the applicant gives details on vegetation, watercourse and wetlands as well as topographic
lines.
Landslide
Class 2 — Moderate and Class 3 - High landslide areas with topographic slopes that range from
15 — 40%.
Wetlands and Stream
The wetland and watercourse delineation report that was prepared for this application identified
the following:
Type 3 watercourse — Ryan Hill Stream. (Stream A) is located to the north of the site and
bisects the northeast corner of Parcel D.
Most of the wetlands are located around the periphery of the site but whose buffers extend onto
the site. The exception is Wetland B. Wetland B is a type IV located in the center of the
project site and requires 50 foot buffers. From the Tukwila Municipal Code: "Category IV
wetlands have the lowest levels of functions (scores less than 30 points) and are often heavily
disturbed. While these are wetlands that should be able to be replaced or improved, they still
need protection because they may provide some important functions. Any disturbance of these
wetlands will be considered on a case by case basis." (TMC 18.45.080 Wetlands Designations,
Ratings and Buffers)
Any future development will need to be setback from the wetlands and their buffers. Wetlands A
and AA are category II and are located along Ryan Hill Stream and are required to have 100 foot
buffers. Wetland C, a category III wetland, which has an 80 foot regulatory buffer, is located on
the south of the site and extends onto the Seattle City Light property.
There are two other category III wetlands, on the parcel north of the site. (Wetlands E & F —
Topographic Survey)

Access
The local circulation map, Figure 3, shows the street system that exists in the Ryan Hill
neighborhood. Sidewalks exist along S. Ryan Way and intermittently on 51 Avenue S. Bicycle
facilities are also in place on 51 Avenue S.
King County Metro Route 107 is between '/4 and 1/2 mile to the east and runs along 51 Avenue S.
and Route 124 on E. Marginal Way S. is about a mile to the west.
The Rainier Beach Link Station is 1.3 miles to the north.

Land Use/Development History
There are 26 lots adjacent to 47th/10gtn/48th onto which the subject properties will access, 8 of
which are developed with a single family home. The lots range in size from 3,500 square feet to
41,765 square feet. All but three homes, addressed as 10709, 10719, and 1072947th Avenue
S., were built pre -1964. The three addresses listed were built in 2003 and 2001 and are hooked
up to the City's sewer system. The remaining five homes are on septic systems. A review of
King County Assessor's property reports shows that they have designated that area as having
moderate to high traffic noise. In this area, the assessed value of the developed single family
homes range from $200,000 to $373,000.
Also within this specific 26 lot area, four lots were acquired by King County for property owner
failure to pay property tax, two of which have since been sold at auction, which is evidence of
the instability in ownership in this area.
City Council Decision (TMC 18.84.030)
The City Council has the authority to deny, approve, or approve with conditions and safeguards
as it deems necessary to protect or enhance the health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding
area, and to ensure that the rezone fully meets the findings set forth in the Decision Criteria
(TMC 18.84.020,) which are outlined below.
1. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. (TMC18.84.020 - Criteria)
During the 2015 Comprehensive Plan update process, there was considerable interest in the
need to maintain and enhance residential neighborhoods, while providing housing choices.
The Comprehensive Plan describes LDR as follows:
Low -Density Residential: Areas primarily characterized by
detached single-family residential structures and their
accessory uses, along with educational, institutional, and
recreational uses. Density may vary by neighborhood and for
projects proposing innovative housing types such as cottage
housing. These uses and densities are modified where covered
by the Commercial Redevelopment, Urban Renewal, Tukwila
South, and Public Recreation Overlays.
The Comprehensive Plan describes HDR as follows:
High -Density Residential: Areas characterized by larger and
higher density multi -family buildings and their accessory uses,
along with educational, institutional, and recreational uses.
Although not stated, high density neighborhoods have typically been located adjacent to and
along major transportation corridors. They have been used to separate noisier uses and areas
from the single family areas and to provide housing in neighborhood and regional centers of the
City.
31
Page 7 of 12 05/29/2018
32
The Comprehensive Plan's highest priority objective is the following:
Objective. "To improve and sustain residential neighborhood quality and livability."
Numerous goals and policies clarify and support this objective. Some representative examples
from the Housing and Residential Neighborhoods elements follow:
Housing Goal 3.1 The City of Tukwila provides the City's fair share of regional housing.
Housing Policy 3.6.1 Encourage long-term residency by improving neighborhood quality, health
and safety.
Residential Neighborhoods Goal 7.1 Residential Land Use Pattern: A land use pattern that
encourages a strong sense of community by grouping compatible and mutually supportive uses
and separating incompatible uses.
Residential Neighborhoods Goal 7.4 Neighborhood Sustainability: Continuing enhancement
and revitalization of residential neighborhoods to encourage long-term residency and
environmental sustainability.
Residential Neighborhoods Implementation strategies support retaining LDR zoning and
encourage infrastructure improvements as follows:
• Continued emphasis on existing land use patterns to protect and preserve residential
uses.
• Investment in public works and infrastructure improvements.
• Continue to develop and implement the Residential Street Program in the CIP.
• Development of a variety of new housing, including single-family homes.
Residential Neighborhood and Sub -Area Vitality
City -planned utility improvements and extensions place priority on improving and sustaining
residential neighborhood quality and livability. Utility investments affect neighborhood quality of
life and the ability to realize established visions for specific sub -areas. (City of Tukwila
Comprehensive Plan, 2015)
Tukwila functional plans
Tukwila parks and open space do not exist in this neighborhood. The Parks Recreation
and Open Space (PROS) Plan has identified the need for a neighborhood park but
implementation is shown beyond 2023. A "Ryan Hill Park" is planned "following the upgrade of
the local sewer service in the area, which would drive additional housing demand." (Tukwila
Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan; 2013)
Sanitary sewer service. The Ryan Hill neighborhood encompasses 116 acres with less
than a mile of sewer. The capital plan for Sanitary Sewer identifies a $1.9 million sewer
revitalization for the area but the timeline is beyond 2022. The justification for the project are the
existing septic systems that are failing and creating public health hazards.
Comprehensive Plan policy 12.1.22
Serve all existing and potential residences and businesses with a sewer utility.
The Capital Facilities Plan identifies a $1.9 million sewer project for the neighborhood with the
justification that septic systems are failing in the area.
Page 8 of 12 05/29/2018
The proposed project would extend sanitary sewer from MLKJWS on the site and then per the
City's Infrastructure Design and Construction Standards Manual extend it to the east property
line. Bringing the sewer an additional 100 feet to the adjacent right of way would provide an
opportunity for future extensions and hook-ups to the sanitary system.
Tukwila water service is available to serve the higher intensity land use; however,
because the system is not looped the pressure is not adequate for larger buildings.
Construction will likely require modifications to structure size to accommodate the lower
pressure.
Access in the neighborhood is via two neighborhood arterials — Ryan Way and 51st
Avenue S., which have adequate capacity but are not complete streets. Ryan Way does not
have bicycle facilities and 51st Avenue S. has sporadic pedestrian facilities. The local access
street, 47th Avenue S., meets the minimum street right of way width standard of 50-60 feet, is
over 1,000 feet in length and does not contain a turn -around. 600 feet is the City standard for
cul-de-sacs the City standard for neighborhood block size is no more than 1,000 feet on one
side and double loaded lots on the width.
On the other lots along 47th Avenue S., future single family development is likely to be through
individual single family home construction permits and short plats that do not typically result in
sidewalks or public street improvements.
The condition of the street however is not adequate for a higher density project. For example,
the pavement width and shoulders are uneven.
Financial Planning Model Policy
FP -6 — The financing of limited benefit capital improvements (i.e. private development)
should be borne by the primary beneficiaries of the improvement. The principle
underlying limited benefit is that the property is peculiarly benefited and therefore the
owners do not in fact pay anything in excess of what they receive by reason
of such improvement.
Policy FP -7 — Each Enterprise Fund shall be reviewed annually and it must have a
rate structure adequate to meet its operations & maintenance and long-term capital
requirements.
The program manager for the Sewer Comprehensive Plan stated that developers must
bear the burden of extending sewer into this area.
2. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with the scope and
purpose of TMC Title 18, "Zoning Code," and the description and purpose of the zone
classification applied for. (TMC 18.84.020 Criteria)
If approved, the requested map change would rezone approximately 10.5 acres from Tukwila's
Low Density Residential to the High Density Residential designation/zone. The Comprehensive
Plan states that high-density residential areas are characterized by larger and higher density
multi -family buildings and their accessory uses, along with education, institutional and
recreational uses. The HDR District (TMC 18.14.010) implements the Comprehensive Plan
designation of high density residential. The Zone is used to designate areas that allow up to 33
Page 9 of 12 05/29/2018
34
22.0 dwelling units per net acre. Senior citizen housing is allowed up to 60 dwelling units per
acre, subject to additional restrictions. It is intended to provide a high-density, multiple -family
district that is also compatible with commercial and office areas.
Consideration was given to the land uses and development standards in the two different zones.
The difference between the two zones in terms of land use are that in HDR the following uses
are permitted and are not allowed in LDR: boarding homes; convalescent, assisted living and
nursing homes for up to 12 patients; townhouses and multifamily (22 units per acre) and senior
housing (at 60/units per acre;) libraries, museums, and public art galleries; and manufactured
home parks. If the property were rezoned as HDR, and did not redevelop as currently proposed
by the applicant, the range of other uses listed above could be developed as permitted uses.
3. There are changed conditions since the previous zoning became effective to
warrant the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map; (TMC 18.84.020(3)) and
In November of 2016, central Puget Sound voters approved a funding package that includes the
construction of a new light rail station within a mile of the site. The Station is scheduled for
completion in the 2030s and provides access to a high capacity transit system. One half mile is
the usual walk shed for rail systems but bus routes are rerouted to provide feeder service to the
stations. Boeing Access Road and S. Ryan Way will be a major route to serve the station. The
opportunity to have high quality transit access was not funded until 2016.
The current economic impact on the regional housing market was not expected. The price of
homes is rising faster in the Seattle area than anywhere else in the nation. Since the downturn
in 2007, home prices are up 23.9%. Seattle leads the nation in year over year and month over
month home price growth. The applicant proposes an affordable senior housing project.
A major initiative to fund, build and replace City buildings (Public Facilities Plan, Tukwila 2016)
will impact the overall Capital Improvement Program and likely delay any identified
neighborhood infrastructure improvements thereby delaying upgrades and public infrastructure
in this neighborhood. Development is and will be expected to continue to pay for itself.
4. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map will be in the interest of furtherance
of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare, and will not
adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood, nor be injurious to other properties in the
vicinity in which the subject property is located. (TMC 18.84.040(4))
The City's Capital Facilities Plan shows the need for urban infrastructure improvements in this
neighborhood for a neighborhood park and a sewer system to serve the area. Timing and
funding for these facilities, however, has not been identified. The lots that are south of S. 107th
Street and west of 50th Avenue S. are dependent on access to the sanitary sewer line in
MLKJWS.
The rezone will allow a project that will provide affordable housing, provide new construction that
could serve to anchor the area and create a higher standard of design quality as required by the
City's rigorous design review process. Development of the site would improve the infrastructure
for the neighborhood and make sanitary sewers possible in the near term for property owners.

CONCLUSIONS
Below are the four decision criteria in bold and the conclusions drawn from the findings above.
1. The proposal is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
The 2015 Comprehensive Plan update reaffirmed Tukwila's highest priority objective, "To
improve and sustain residential neighborhood quality and livability." This neighborhood is a
challenging area because of the lack of public facilities and environmentally challenging land of
slopes and water. The subject site, although it borders the interstate and MLKJWS on the west,
has no access except through a local access street that is bordered by single family homes.
The public facilities identified to support and serve this area are not funded in the near or mid-
term. The proposal would be able to pay for urban services and amenities that would support
the overall livability and quality of this residential neighborhood. Specifically, access to the site is
via 47th Avenue S. and S. 109 Street west of 47th Avenue S, which are not adequate for higher
density travel, would need to be improved. Their improvement would improve overall
neighborhood quality; therefore, the City Council concludes that as part of the future project and
as a condition of this rezone, the applicant should make street improvements that meet the
City's infrastructure standards including sidewalks.
Sanitary sewer would be extended as part of the future project from MLKWJS onto the site and
to the east property line. To benefit the neighborhood, the extension of the sewer to the
adjacent public right of way would also fulfill the Comprehensive Plan's goal of improving
neighborhood quality and livability and fulfilling the policy of serving all residences with sewer
service. The City Council concludes that conditioning the rezone to require the extension of the
sewer line to the right of way to the east will increase the access and the feasibility and decrease
the total system cost for sanitary sewers in the neighborhood and therefore meet the criteria.
2. The proposal is consistent with the scope and purpose of the Zoning Code and the
description and purpose of the HDR zone.
High density development lends itself to clustering and thereby preserving sensitive areas and
open space. The entire property would be under one owner and manager thereby limiting the
incremental impacts typical of individual homeowners on trees, wetlands and streams.
3. There are changed conditions since the previous zoning became effective to
warrant the amendment to the Map.
Residents of the City have stated that they are struggling and being displaced due to the impact
of rising rents and the high cost of homeownership. The unprecedented economic impact
caused by the regional demand for housing is hurting members of the community who are
economically challenged. The proposal could provide affordable housing for seniors as well as
basic public facilities that would support the surrounding property owners.

4. The proposal shall be in the interest of furthering the public health, safety, comfort,
convenience and general welfare and will not adversely affect the neighborhood or
be injurious to the properties in the vicinity.
Of benefit to the neighborhood with the project would be the opportunity to connect to sanitary
sewer and a reduced overall cost because of the approximate 800 linear feet that would be built
by the project developers. Development of the subject site requires the applicant to bring the
sewer line onto the property and to the east property line. The City Council concludes that in
order to meet the criteria the rezone should be conditioned with the requirement to bring the
sewer line an additional 100 feet to 47th Avenue S. to assist with the availability of the system for
expanded neighborhood use.
Comment from emergency service providers and the results of the traffic analysis indicate that
left turning movements are difficult onto S. Ryan Way and would be a concern with increase in
trips associated with the rezone. In order to further the interests of public safety, comfort and
convenience, the City Council concludes that the rezone should be conditioned to require left
turn pockets to facilitate and assist in maintaining adequate level of service and safety in
entering and exiting 47th Avenue S. from S. Ryan Way.
The City Council concludes that redesignating the site to HDR would be in the best interest of
the neighborhood subject to specific conditions that would support the Comprehensive Plan's
priority of creating high quality residential neighborhoods and further the public's health, safety
and comfort.

Findings
Exhibit B
The applicant requests an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Map and a
corresponding rezone from Low Density Residential (LDR) to High Density Residential (HDR) on
four adjacent undeveloped lots totaling 10.5 acres.
If the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use and the Zoning map changes are approved, the contract
purchaser proposes to construct 247 Senior Housing units in a four-story structure on the four
southerly parcels A - D. (Figure 1). Changing the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning maps are no
guarantee that the project would be built as initially proposed but is provided as an example of a
potential future development. The Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Designations and the
subject site are outlined in green. Existing LDR zoning is shaded in yellow, High Density
Residential located along 51 Avenue S. in brown, Commercial Light Industrial in purple and
Office in blue.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone Decision Criteria (TMC 18.84.020):
The City Council's decision to grant a Comprehensive Plan map change and rezone shall be
supported by written findings and conclusions showing specifically that all of the following
conditions exist. Approval of the map changes requires the adoption of an ordinance.

Background
Annexation History
The subject property became part of Tukwila in 1989 as part of the Fire District #1 annexation.
At the time of annexation, the property was zoned to reflect the prior King County zoning. When
the Comprehensive Plan and city-wide zoning were subsequently reviewed, no changes were
proposed to the original King County designations.
Public Comment
On May 2, 2017, staff held the required public information meeting for residents and property
46 owners within 500 feet of the site. Several property owners attended the meeting to ask
Paor') of 1')
05/29/2018
questions. One written comment was received that stated opposition to additional traffic on
47Avenue S. because of safety concerns for local children and provided the opinion that 47
Avenue S. is not capable of handling the additional traffic volume. They requested that access to
the proposed multi -family development site be from Martin Luther King Junior Way South
(MLKJWS). The City Engineer responded that MLKJWS is designated by Washington State
Department of Transportation as limited access and therefore not available for ingress/egress.
The City Engineer has requested that at the time of a future development proposal that
additional traffic analysis be provided.
Because of the lapse in time since the required public meeting in May of 2017, and the initiation
of neighborhood -wide meeting in November of 2017 (see "Ryan Hill Neighborhood Study"
section below), staff held a second public meeting using an expanded mailing. There were no
citizens or comments received at the May 9, 2018 public meeting.
Ryan Hill Neighborhood Study
Staff initiated a neighborhood -wide study that looked at existing conditions, potential
development scenarios and surveyed property owners and residents. The study revealed a
number of things that were unknown.
The residents and property owners have differing opinions about the future of the neighborhood.
Opinions generally depend on where they live or own property within the neighborhood. Higher
residential density and housing options are more desirable to property owners north of the
Seattle City Light right of way than south of the right of way.
Additionally, there was overall support for a neighborhood retail node that would provide
additional neighborhood services. Neighborhood input also indicated that the neighborhood's
existing characteristics were an asset as it was described as a "rural oasis in the city."
Except for the approximate 15 -acre Raisbeck property located along the west side of the
neighborhood and bordering MLKJRWS, which is the subject of this rezone request, future
development is likely to be small scale (short plats) and developed incrementally. Development
of less than 4 lots does not require frontal improvements nor would a through connection be
financially feasible for most short plat developers.
The lack of regional stormwater facilities and the difficulties associated with on-site storm
infiltration and/or detention on steep slopes impacts the near term developability of many
properties. In areas where redevelopment is more feasible, the needed water and sewer
infrastructure improvements identified in the study can be incrementally installed. The
incrementally added infrastructure will be able to support the long-term service objectives
outlined within the study.
Enhancing and improving the circulation system is feasible from an engineering standpoint but
not likely from a financial standpoint. The 1,200 -foot -long dead end road (twice the length of the
City's maximum standard) can be eliminated by connecting between the 109th/48th and
.,f
05/29/201 g
47
48
110th/49th Avenue S intersections. The City, however, has many street projects, and this new
connection is unlikely in the near future as a public project.
Finally, the Raisbeck property, which is the Vintage@Tukwila site, is a linchpin for extending
sewer service to properties north of the Seattle City Light right of way and south of S. 107th
Street.
Vicinity/Site Information
The subject site is in the Ryan Hill neighborhood and is primarily characterized by
environmentally sensitive features located on or in its vicinity. The topographic survey provided
by the applicant gives details on vegetation, watercourse and wetlands as well as topographic
lines.
Landslide
Class 2 — Moderate and Class 3 - High landslide areas with topographic slopes that range from
15 — 40%.
Wetlands and Stream
The wetland and watercourse delineation report that was prepared for this application identified
the following:
Type 3 watercourse — Ryan Hill Stream. (Stream A) is located to the north of the site and
bisects the northeast corner of Parcel D.
Most of the wetlands are located around the periphery of the site but whose buffers extend onto
the site. The exception is Wetland B. Wetland B is a type IV located in the center of the
project site and requires 50 foot buffers. From the Tukwila Municipal Code: "Category IV
wetlands have the lowest levels of functions (scores less than 30 points) and are often heavily
disturbed. While these are wetlands that should be able to be replaced or improved, they still
need protection because they may provide some important functions. Any disturbance of these
wetlands will be considered on a case by case basis." (TMC 18.45.080 Wetlands Designations,
Ratings and Buffers)
Any future development will need to be setback from the wetlands and their buffers. Wetlands A
and AA are category II and are located along Ryan Hill Stream and are required to have 100 foot
buffers. Wetland C, a category III wetland, which has an 80 foot regulatory buffer, is located on
the south of the site and extends onto the Seattle City Light property.
There are two other category III wetlands, on the parcel north of the site. (Wetlands E & F —
Topographic Survey)

Land Use/Development History
There are 26 lots adjacent to 47th/109th/48tH onto which the subject properties will access, 8 of
which are developed with a single family home. The lots range in size from 3,500 square feet to
41,765 square feet. All but three homes, addressed as 10709, 10719, and 10729 47th Avenue
S., were built pre -1964. The three addresses listed were built in 2003 and 2001 and are hooked
up to the City's sewer system. The remaining five homes are on septic systems. A review of
King County Assessor's property reports shows that they have designated that area as having
moderate to high traffic noise. In this area, the assessed value of the developed single family
homes range from $200,000 to $373,000.
Also within this specific 26 lot area, four lots were acquired by King County for property owner
failure to pay property tax, two of which have since been sold at auction, which is evidence of
the instability in ownership in this area.
City Council Decision (TMC 18.84.030)
The City Council has the authority to deny, approve, or approve with conditions and safeguards
as it deems necessary to protect or enhance the health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding
area, and to ensure that the rezone fully meets the findings set forth in the Decision Criteria
(TMC 18.84.020,) which are outlined below.
1. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. (TMC18.84.020 - Criteria)
During the 2015 Comprehensive Plan update process, there was considerable interest in the
need to maintain and enhance residential neighborhoods, while providing housing choices.
The Comprehensive Plan describes LDR as follows:
Low -Density Residential: Areas primarily characterized by
detached single-family residential structures and their
accessory uses, along with educational, institutional, and
recreational uses. Density may vary by neighborhood and for
projects proposing innovative housing types such as cottage
housing. These uses and densities are modified where covered
by the Commercial Redevelopment, Urban Renewal, Tukwila
South, and Public Recreation Overlays.
The Comprehensive Plan describes HDR as follows:
High -Density Residential: Areas characterized by larger and
higher density multi -family buildings and their accessory uses,
along with educational, institutional, and recreational uses.
Although not stated, high density neighborhoods have typically been located adjacent to and
along major transportation corridors. They have been used to separate noisier uses and areas
from the single family areas and to provide housing in neighborhood and regional centers of the
City.
51
OG/10Y7N u
The Comprehensive Plan's highest priority objective is the following:
Objective. "To improve and sustain residential neighborhood quality and livability."
Numerous goals and policies clarify and support this objective. Some representative examples
from the Housing and Residential Neighborhoods elements follow:
Housing Goal 3.1 The City of Tukwila provides the City's fair share of regional housing.
Housing Policy 3.6.1 Encourage long-term residency by improving neighborhood quality, health
and safety.
Residential Neighborhoods Goal 7.1 Residential Land Use Pattern: A land use pattern that
encourages a strong sense of community by grouping compatible and mutually supportive uses
and separating incompatible uses.
Residential Neighborhoods Goal 7.4 Neighborhood Sustainability: Continuing enhancement
and revitalization of residential neighborhoods to encourage long-term residency and
environmental sustainability.
Residential Neighborhoods Implementation strategies support retaining LDR zoning and
encourage infrastructure improvements as follows:
• Continued emphasis on existing land use patterns to protect and preserve residential
uses.
• Investment in public works and infrastructure improvements.
• Continue to develop and implement the Residential Street Program in the GIP.
• Development of a variety of new housing, including single-family homes.
Residential Neighborhood and Sub -Area Vitality
City -planned utility improvements and extensions place priority on improving and sustaining
residential neighborhood quality and livability. Utility investments affect neighborhood quality of
life and the ability to realize established visions for specific sub -areas. (City of Tukwila
Comprehensive Plan, 2015)
Tukwila functional plans
Tukwila parks and open space do not exist in this neighborhood. The Parks Recreation
and Open Space (PROS) Plan has identified the need for a neighborhood park but
implementation is shown beyond 2023. A "Ryan Hill Park" is planned "following the upgrade of
the local sewer service in the area, which would drive additional housing demand." (Tukwila
Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan; 2013)
Sanitary sewer service. The Ryan Hill neighborhood encompasses 116 acres with less
than a mile of sewer. The capital plan for Sanitary Sewer identifies a $1.9 million sewer
revitalization for the area but the timeline is beyond 2022. The justification for the project are the
existing septic systems that are failing and creating public health hazards.
Comprehensive Plan policy 12.1.22
Serve all existing and potential residences and businesses with a sewer utility.
The Capital Facilities Plan identifies a $1.9 million sewer project for the neighborhood with the
justification that septic systems are failing in the area.
52
D,...e Q
nsn0t)O1 R
The proposed project would extend sanitary sewer from MLKJWS on the site and then per the
City's Infrastructure Design and Construction Standards Manual extend it to the east property
line. Bringing the sewer an additional 100 feet to the adjacent right of way would provide an
opportunity for future extensions and hook-ups to the sanitary system.
Tukwila water service is available to serve the higher intensity land use; however,
because the system is not looped the pressure is not adequate for larger buildings.
Construction will likely require modifications to structure size to accommodate the lower
pressure.
Access in the neighborhood is via two neighborhood arterials — Ryan Way and 51st
Avenue S., which have adequate capacity but are not complete streets. Ryan Way does not
have bicycle facilities and 51st Avenue S. has sporadic pedestrian facilities. The local access
street, 47th Avenue S., meets the minimum street right of way width standard of 50-60 feet, is
over 1,000 feet in length and does not contain a turn -around. 600 feet is the City standard for
cul-de-sacs the City standard for neighborhood block size is no more than 1,000 feet on one
side and double loaded lots on the width.
On the other lots along 47th Avenue S., future single family development is likely to be through
individual single family home construction permits and short plats that do not typically result in
sidewalks or public street improvements.
The condition of the street however is not adequate for a higher density project. For example,
the pavement width and shoulders are uneven.
Financial Planning Model Policy
FP -6 — The financing of limited benefit capital improvements (i.e. private development)
should be borne by the primary beneficiaries of the improvement. The principle
underlying limited benefit is that the property is peculiarly benefited and therefore the
owners do not in fact pay anything in excess of what they receive by reason
of such improvement.
Policy FP -7 — Each Enterprise Fund shall be reviewed annually and it must have a
rate structure adequate to meet its operations & maintenance and long-term capital
requirements.
The program manager for the Sewer Comprehensive Plan stated that developers must
bear the burden of extending sewer into this area.
2. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with the scope and
purpose of TMC Title 18, "Zoning Code," and the description and purpose of the zone
classification applied for. (TMC 18.84.020 Criteria)
If approved, the requested map change would rezone approximately 10.5 acres from Tukwila's
Low Density Residential to the High Density Residential designation/zone. The Comprehensive
Plan states that high-density residential areas are characterized by larger and higher density
multi -family buildings and their accessory uses, along with education, institutional and
recreational uses. The HDR District (TMC 18.14.010) implements the Comprehensive Plan
designation of high density residential. The Zone is used to designate areas that allow up to 53

22.0 dwelling units per net acre. Senior citizen housing is allowed up to 60 dwelling units per
acre, subject to additional restrictions. It is intended to provide a high-density, multiple -family
district that is also compatible with commercial and office areas.
Consideration was given to the land uses and development standards in the two different zones.
The difference between the two zones in terms of land use are that in HDR the following uses
are permitted and are not allowed in LDR: boarding homes; convalescent, assisted living and
nursing homes for up to 12 patients; townhouses and multifamily (22 units per acre) and senior
housing (at 60/units per acre;) libraries, museums, and public art galleries; and manufactured
home parks. If the property were rezoned as HDR, and did not redevelop as currently proposed
by the applicant, the range of other uses listed above could be developed as permitted uses.
3. There are changed conditions since the previous zoning became effective to
warrant the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map; (TMC 18.84.020(3)) and
In November of 2016, central Puget Sound voters approved a funding package that includes the
construction of a new light rail station within a mile of the site. The Station is scheduled for
completion in the 2030s and provides access to a high capacity transit system. One half mile is
the usual walk shed for rail systems but bus routes are rerouted to provide feeder service to the
stations. Boeing Access Road and S. Ryan Way will be a major route to serve the station. The
opportunity to have high quality transit access was not funded until 2016.
The current economic impact on the regional housing market was not expected. The price of
homes is rising faster in the Seattle area than anywhere else in the nation. Since the downturn
in 2007, home prices are up 23.9%. Seattle leads the nation in year over year and month over
month home price growth. The applicant proposes an affordable senior housing project.
A major initiative to fund, build and replace City buildings (Public Facilities Plan, Tukwila 2016)
will impact the overall Capital Improvement Program and likely delay any identified
neighborhood infrastructure improvements thereby delaying upgrades and public infrastructure
in this neighborhood. Development is and will be expected to continue to pay for itself.
4. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map will be in the interest of furtherance
of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare, and will not
adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood, nor be injurious to other properties in the
vicinity in which the subject property is located. (TMC 18.84.040(4))
The City's Capital Facilities Plan shows the need for urban infrastructure improvements in this
neighborhood for a neighborhood park and a sewer system to serve the area. Timing and
funding for these facilities, however, has not been identified. The lots that are south of S. 107th
Street and west of 50th Avenue S. are dependent on access to the sanitary sewer line in
MLKJWS.
The rezone will allow a project that will provide affordable housing, provide new construction that
could serve to anchor the area and create a higher standard of design quality as required by the
City's rigorous design review process. Development of the site would improve the infrastructure
for the neighborhood and make sanitary sewers possible in the near term for property owners.

CONCLUSIONS
Below are the four decision criteria in bold and the conclusions drawn from the findings above.
1. The proposal is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
The 2015 Comprehensive Plan update reaffirmed Tukwila's highest priority objective, "To
improve and sustain residential neighborhood quality and livability." This neighborhood is a
challenging area because of the lack of public facilities and environmentally challenging land of
slopes and water. The subject site, although it borders the interstate and MLKJWS on the west,
has no access except through a local access street that is bordered by single family homes.
The public facilities identified to support and serve this area are not funded in the near or mid-
term. The proposal would be able to pay for urban services and amenities that would support
the overall livability and quality of this residential neighborhood. Specifically, access to the site is
via 47th Avenue S. and S. 109 Street west of 47th Avenue S, which are not adequate for higher
density travel, would need to be improved. Their improvement would improve overall
neighborhood quality; therefore, the City Council concludes that as part of the future project and
as a condition of this rezone, the applicant should make street improvements that meet the
City's infrastructure standards including sidewalks.
Sanitary sewer would be extended as part of the future project from MLKWJS onto the site and
to the east property line. To benefit the neighborhood, the extension of the sewer to the
adjacent public right of way would also fulfill the Comprehensive Plan's goal of improving
neighborhood quality and livability and fulfilling the policy of serving all residences with sewer
service. The City Council concludes that conditioning the rezone to require the extension of the
sewer line to the right of way to the east will increase the access and the feasibility and decrease
the total system cost for sanitary sewers in the neighborhood and therefore meet the criteria.
2. The proposal is consistent with the scope and purpose of the Zoning Code and the
description and purpose of the HDR zone.
High density development lends itself to clustering and thereby preserving sensitive areas and
open space. The entire property would be under one owner and manager thereby limiting the
incremental impacts typical of individual homeowners on trees, wetlands and streams.
3. There are changed conditions since the previous zoning became effective to
warrant the amendment to the Map.
Residents of the City have stated that they are struggling and being displaced due to the impact
of rising rents and the high cost of homeownership. The unprecedented economic impact
caused by the regional demand for housing is hurting members of the community who are
economically challenged. The proposal could provide affordable housing for seniors as well as
basic public facilities that would support the surrounding property owners.

4. The proposal shall be in the interest of furthering the public health, safety, comfort,
convenience and general welfare and will not adversely affect the neighborhood or
be injurious to the properties in the vicinity.
Of benefit to the neighborhood with the project would be the opportunity to connect to sanitary
sewer and a reduced overall cost because of the approximate 800 linear feet that would be built
by the project developers. Development of the subject site requires the applicant to bring the
sewer line onto the property and to the east property line. The City Council concludes that in
order to meet the criteria the rezone should be conditioned with the requirement to bring the
sewer line an additional 100 feet to 47th Avenue S. to assist with the availability of the system for
expanded neighborhood use.
Comment from emergency service providers and the results of the traffic analysis indicate that
left turning movements are difficult onto S. Ryan Way and would be a concern with increase in
trips associated with the rezone. In order to further the interests of public safety, comfort and
convenience, the City Council concludes that the rezone should be conditioned to require left
turn pockets to facilitate and assist in maintaining adequate level of service and safety in
entering and exiting 47th Avenue S. from S. Ryan Way.
The City Council concludes that redesignating the site to HDR would be in the best interest of
the neighborhood subject to specific conditions that would support the Comprehensive Plan's
priority of creating high quality residential neighborhoods and further the public's health, safety
and comfort.

Code Enforcement contacted the property owner who did not
have a tree permit. They were advised that they need to submit
for a permit including specific information about all the trees that
were removed and a plan to replace trees, additional mitigation,
and/or pay possible fines. It will be a good test of our enforcement
mechanisms under the Council's recently adopted tree ordinance.

FROM: Steve Goldblatt
PMQA Consultant
RE: Public Safety Plan
June update
The Council is about to vote on the Plan's phasing and financing, based upon the Finance
Committee and City staff's four-month exploration of options. The Project Executive Team
and City partners have had another productive month on all fronts. Timely due diligence,
access, and property acquisitions remain key to maintaining the Plan's momentum.
FIRE STATIONS
• Site acquisition
Geotechnical exploration will inform site development costs for Fire Station 52. The
City now owns the majority of the property for Fire Station 54 as planned, and its use
or disposition will be a future decision.
• Station 51 design development
Per Council consensus 12 February to move forward from schematic design, Weinstein
AU is well into Station 51's design development phase. Weekly meetings are ongoing,
with pricing expected 6 August in Public Safety and 13 August in COW.
•
Station 52 schematic design
Weinstein AU will begin the schematic design phase for Station 52 in August. Station
54 has been proposed for deletion via Option D -20(f), subject to Council vote 18 June.
Stations' budget
With input from GC/CM Lydig Construction, Station 51's schematic design estimate of
$12.5 million was the first "real" number presented to Council 12 February. The pro-
ject team is working on understanding Station 51's schematic design estimate and its
implications on Station 52's budget, specifically adjusted to the City Hall site. At this
point, the overage is expected to total $13 million for both stations.
• GC/CM pre -construction services
Lydig conducted the process to select an EC/CM electrical contractor and an MC/CM
mechanical contractor pursuant to RCW 39.10.385. In May, Valley Electric was selected
as EC/CM and Johansen Mechanical as MC/CM. Both firms are engaged, but the likeli-
hood of Station 54's deletion will impact the use of EC/CM and MC/CM.
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and local hiring policies
The Council unanimously passed Resolution 1929 on 2 April, adopting DBE and local
hiring policies for the Plan's projects. The DBE goal is 17% and the local hiring goal is
20%, complementing the City's 10% apprenticeship requirement of Resolution 1814.
63
The first metrics that the Council sees can be expected mid -2019. Lydig—and BNBuild-
ers for the Justice Center—will be represented at the 23 June open house to talk about
job opportunities.
JUSTICE CENTER
•
Property acquisition
The first of nine Justice Center properties closed in May, with a second expected to
close later this month. Depending on due diligence and site access, the Council should
expect final pricing and closed transactions for more of the properties in July and Au-
gust. If site acquisition is extended, permitting, environmental, and construction starts
may be delayed. Public Use and Necessity will be argued in July.
Schematic design estimate
DLR has completed schematic design. An updated cost estimate with GC/CM input and
results of site investigations was presented to Public Safety 7 May, confirming the pro-
gram estimate: roughly $38 million over the budget developed for the Plan's bond
measure. Due to the lack of access to three parcels in the middle of the site, there re-
main unknown risks that haven't been fully estimated.
Next phase: design development
On 7 May Public Safety recommended continuation into the next phase: design devel-
opment. At COW on 14 May, the Council concurred with the recommendation, and the
team begins design development this week.
• GC/CM pre -construction services
BNBuilders provided regular input on the schematic design and estimate and is doing
so for design development.
CONSOLIDATED SHOPS
•
Property acquisition
Depending on due diligence and site access, the Council should expect final pricing and
closed transactions for the Shop's properties later this year. Site investigations and ne-
gotiations are ongoing. King County Superior Court granted the City's request for Pub-
lic Use and Necessity. Next steps: negotiations regarding access, possession, and price.
• Programming services
A request for proposals is being prepared for architectural services on a shops master
plan and Heiser facilities tenant improvements.
OTHER RESOURCES
• Professional services
The Project Executive Team is working through procurement of additional consultant
resources for the Fire Stations and Justice Center; e.g., testing and inspections. Follow-
ing the envelope consultant 12 February, Council can expect to see more contracts for
PMQA update June 12, 2018 page 2
64
these services. Hazmat and commissioning await construction. The architects will hire
archeologists and transportation consultants.
PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
• Due diligence
On 20 November, Council approved contracts to conduct surveys, environmental re-
views, and geotechnical analyses to prepare for property acquisitions. That work has
been underway. As expected, soil contamination has been found on the first Justice
Center parcel. On 19 March, the Council unanimously approved amendments to all
three contracts to allow necessary work to continue and to provide contingencies.
These activities continue.
PROGRAM SCHEDULE
Tight schedule
The overall schedule remains very ambitious. With so many activities under way, there
is little room for any missteps to meet the Plan's revised milestones. The Project Exec-
utive Team, City staff, and Council are doing as well as can be expected given all the
new properties' access, due diligence, and acquisition challenges. Fire Station 51 bid-
ding is now expected to begin in January 2019 and construction next spring.
PROGRAM BUDGET
Financial plan
From 6 February through 5 June, the Finance Committee and staff conducted an inten-
sive effort to develop recommendations for full Council discussion re the Plan's signifi-
cant financial gap. This effort culminated 5 June in a unanimous Committee recommen-
dation of Option D -20(f) that was discussed at the 11 June Council workshop. Council
reached consensus for Option D -20(f), scheduled for a full Council vote 18 June.
Market conditions
Like the Fire Stations, the Justice Center and Consolidated Shops budgets will need to
be sensitive to tight construction market conditions and increasing property values.
These external budget pressures will manifest themselves as property is procured and
project estimates are refined.
