City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFOR ATIONAL E ORANDU TO: Community Development and Neighborhoods FROM: Stacy Hansen, Human Services Program Coordinator CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: May 1, 2019 SUBJECT: Authorization to submit CDBG Application for Minor Home Repair 2020 ISSUE The City Council's authorization is necessary for the City to apply to King County for the Community Development Block Grant funds. These funds target the Tukwila Minor Home Repair program. In 2020, the City will continue its role as fiscal administrator for the Minor Home Repair program in the cities of Tukwila, Covington, Des Moines, and SeaTac. The program successfully assists low/moderate income homeowners in maintaining their homes. The 2020 application is for $100,000 to be equally shared between all four cities (minus a small administration fee for King County). BACKGROUND Human Services staff has been administering this program since 2005. In 2018, 15 unduplicated Tukwila households were served (52 program -wide) consisting of 21 individual projects (63 program wide) and 75.50 hours of Tukwila repairs (397 program -wide). The 2020 request is for $100,000 for the entire program, consisting of $24,000 in construction dollars for each city. DISCUSSION This application competes county -wide with capital applications from other cities and non-profit agencies. Tukwila Human Services staff participates in discussions to recommend capital projects although unable to vote on any applications affecting Tukwila. FINANCIAL IMPACT Partners cities provide roughly 20% of staff time as in -kind to manage and administer the Minor Home Repair program within their respective cities. Since Tukwila is the lead fiscal agent, in addition to administering the program, staff is also responsible for the annual application process, contract execution, quarterly bill reimbursement between Tukwila, partner cities and King County. Tukwila Human Services staff also attends all required King County meetings, monitors partner cities to ensure contract compliance and provides on -going technical assistance. Between serving as the fiscal agent and administering the program in Tukwila, the Human Services Coordinator spend 30% of her time on the Minor Home Repair program. RECOMMENDATION Staff is asking Council to forward this item to the May 20, 2019 Regular Council meeting for the consent agenda.

Quantify this need using local or regionaldata that confirm ordescribes the problem orneed. How much of the need are you currently With varying levels of owner -occupancy in the partner cities (Tukwila 38%, SeaTac 52%, Des Moines 58% Covington 80%) and significantly lower median incomes compared to King County (Tukwila, 60% of median; SeaTac, 61 % of median; Des Moines, 72% of median; Covington, almost median) regular maintenance in low to moderate income households is often postponed, due to limited financial resources. Nearly 4O96of residents are cost burdened, paying more than one-half of their income on housing. Food insecurity data is also an indicator Qfpoverty. |nthe partner cities, free/reduced lunch stats|nour .respective school districts range from 36% to 89%. 20% of our residents are using their local food banks and DSHS services. In all four cities, much of the single-family housing was built in the mid 60's to 80's or before. Aging housing stock typically requires more money for maintenance and repairs. [DBGfunds allow the K8HRprogram tnprovide maintenance/repairs to issues such as electrical, plumbing, installing grab bars, replacing broken railings/stairs, worn locking mechanisms on doors, secur4 lighting and a variety of other small but necessary safety repairs that are often deferred by our very limited income homeowners. We are primarily serving elderly and disabled adult homeowners that are on very fixed incomes. In 2018, 87% of all the homeowners served in the Minor Home Repair program were below 50% of median income. We estimate vveare meeting 35-4596ofthe need. 1 DF8FOEC5645FEA418533872Fl3A6D&propidu=DC91 BAoI 3BB34EF280D4B04A60A201 1V&phnt=R 2N35 4/29/2019 Print/Preview 10. What other activities does the agency provide and how is the proposed program delineated from other program(s) and/or services offered? All partner cities provide a wide range of traditional municipal services (police, fire, public works, planning, recreation) which are available to residents, visitors, businesses. There are no other government services that provide free housing repair. 11. ELIGIBILITY: Are you familiar with current CDBG income screening requirements? How do you determine eligibility (income screening, location of residence, eligibility in other government programs)? Applicants wi//be required to provide a copy of the tool used for client intake process as an attachment to the application phase. Upload Form 100.7 - Intake Tool Used to Qualify Eligibility. All partner cities are familiar with and screen every Minor Home Repair applicant with current CDBG income guidelines, identify residency, eligibility and screen as well for a wide variety of other social and health services. We actively collaborate on referrals from our Fire, Police, Code Enforcement, Senior and Recreation programs as well as our school districts. All partners are very familiar with the demographics and the housing needs within our respective communities. All partner cities use a pre -approved screening tool to document the household income and a variety of demographics, including owner occupancy. All households submit evidence of their income and a unique file is created for each household. While screening residents for other social service programs, we inquire with owner occupied households whether they qualify for the Minor Home Repair program and determine if the repairs we can provide would improve the health and safety of their homes. 12.

The Minor Home Repair Program is funded through the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) and must conform to CDBG regulations. These regulations provide overall guidelines that must be followed but are designed to allow agencies greater flexibility in program implementation. Due to increased demand and limited resources of the Minor Home Repair Program, the following policies have been adopted to assist staff and contractors in implementing this program. Meeting the eligibility requirements listed below does not guarantee services will be provided. In order to maximize the effectiveness of the limited resources available, staff will be responsible for interpreting and applying the policies set forth below and will make the final determination on the provision of services. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES • Provide minor housing repair and maintenance services to homeowners with low and moderate incomes. • Maintain the ability of clients to remain in their own homes and to be independent. • Encourage the participation of service providers, the business community, and the residents of the City of Tukwila to support housing maintenance and repair assistance to the local community. • Housing repair services will focus on maintaining the safety and health of the occupants; preserving the dwelling and/or conserving energy. GENERAL PROGRAM POLICIES Eligibility Requirements In order to be considered for services in this program, the applicant must: A: Reside within the Tukwila city limits. 23 B: Own and reside in the dwelling requiring services for at least one year. The home cannot be for sale at the time services are requested. Applicant must give an indication that they have no intent of discontinuing to occupy the home in the foreseeable future. C. The gross annual income for the household must not exceed the moderate - income level by household size as defined by HUD current income guidelines. D. Applicant must carry current homeowner's insurance. Program Limitations Staff may deny services to any dwelling where an unsafe or unhealthy working or living situation exists. Services will not be provided if the repair work is covered by the homeowner's property insurance policy or by warranty. The exception to this is when the homeowner's deductible is unable to be met due to client's income limitations. Minor home repair services for condominiums will include interior work only. Repair work on a duplex will only be to the interior that is occupied by a Housing Repair client. All interior and/or exterior work on a duplex will be done only on the part that is occupied by the client. Services must comply with all Homeowner Associations and/or Mobile Home Park policies. Repairs are made to the housing structure. Repairs are not made to free standing items, like fans, heaters, and lamps. Repairs are not made to appliances. Intentional damage to a home will not be covered. The exception is in the case of domestic violence. Repairs will be made only if the offender is no longer in the home. Repairs will not be performed on recreational vehicles. Homes in violation of City of Tukwila building codes, fire or municipal codes will not receive services until the code violations are fixed. The Minor Home Repair Program may help a homeowner comply with the code(s), if the services required are within the scope of program. Financial assistance will not be given to City of Tukwila residents of mobile home parks to relocate to other mobile home parks, nor will they be eligible for any service other than emergency repairs once a mobile home park has received written notice of an impending sale. A repair may result in finished work that may need additional finishing to match pre- existing conditions. Since cosmetic work, in of itself, is not eligible for funds, finish 24 work will be negotiated at the time of the repair work with the homeowner. It may be impossible to match paint colors, for example, however, it would be unrealistic to have an entire room repainted if a small amount of new paint is added. The priority of the funds is to make the repair to ensure health and safety. There may be limitations to home repair projects proposed for homes that are located in a floodplain. Projects that are estimated above $500 will require the homeowner to have flood insurance for the value of the project for the life of the project. Homeowners that are live in a "floodway" will not be able to use program dollars. Maintenance and repairs will be screened for lead based paint impacts and projects may be denied due to the impact of lead -based paint disturbance. Definitions The program provides services for single family attached/detached dwellings, duplexes, condominiums, modular and manufactured homes only. A manufactured home (mobile home) is defined as a factory assembled structure, transported in one or more sections, built on a chassis and designed without a permanent foundation. A modular home is a factory built assembled structure, designed for permanent installation on a foundation. A single-family detached house is a building containing one dwelling unit which is not attached to any other dwelling by any means except fences, has a permanent foundation and is surrounded by open space of yards. A duplex is a one -family dwelling attached to another one -family dwelling by a common roof, walls or floor. This definition may also include a dwelling unit or units attached to garages or other non-residential uses. A recreational vehicle is a vehicular type unit primarily designed as temporary living quarters for recreational camping, travel or seasonal use that either has its own power or is mounted on or towed by another vehicle. Recreational vehicles include: camping trailers, fifth -wheel trailers, motor homes, travel trailers and truck campers. Repair Budget Limitations A maximum of $7500 per dwelling will be spent per household. No more than $5,000 will be spent in one calendar year. The cost of materials, supplies and labor will be included. Exceptions will be made by the Human Services Program Coordinator on a case by case basis, keeping health and safety priorities in mind. 25 Services Provided Include but are not limited to: Safety Health Install smoke detectors Install carbon monoxide detectors Install, repair/replace security lighting if an existing electrical circuit is available Earthquake preparedness — hot water tank straps Repair/replace exterior doors, windows and stairways if broken Replace broken switches, sockets, and ceiling light fixtures Install locks and deadbolts Power outage check to see if power can easily be restored Circuit breaker replacement Repair/replace dangerous or non -working electrical circuits Apply non-skid material as needed Replace furnace filters Repair/replace furnace fans Clogged drains Repair furnaces Repair heaters that are not free-standing Repair/replace garbage disposals Rodent control Pest extermination Repair/replace hot water tanks Adaptations for disabilities Install exterior ramps Install/repair/replace special equipment like handrails, grab bars, doorknobs, Faucet handles Maintenance of basic structure Exterior house painting — not cosmetic Repair/replace gutters and downspouts Repair/replace faucets, toilets, sinks, drains, broken or leaking pipes Repair decks only if used as an exit Removal of moss on roof/main structure Install shut-off valves Repair dry rot on the interior/exterior Weather proofing Minor roof leaks; repair/replace soffits, fascia, flashing Minimize water damage - caulking/tub surrounds/leaks Chimney/flashing Energy Efficiency Weather stripping Insulation 26 Use of Contractors Contractors are hired for all services that need to be addressed. Contractors will be required to provide proof of liability insurance and a business license. Contractors may, with permission of the program coordinator, sub work out to an appropriate licensed contractor. Repairs Priority for repairs will be determined by the seriousness of the repair relative to other pending repair requests, the hardship to the client if the repair is not completed in a timely manner, the scope of work, date of request, and the income/assets of the household. (The households with the lowest incomes and less than $50,000 in assets will be considered a higher priority than those with low/moderate incomes and more than $50,000 in assets.) The value of a personally owned vehicle or the equity in the house will not be included when calculating household assets. The household will be required to report the income for all members but may exclude the income of a caregiver assisting them during an illness. Referrals Repairs estimated to exceed $3,300 will be referred to King County Housing Rehabilitation Office for a deferred home loan application or emergency or mobile home grant as appropriate. Exterior House Painting Exterior house painting is only considered for houses that are peeling or do not have protected surfaces. Due to the costs associated with house painting, only limited areas of the house will be considered. Houses older than 1978 that require more than 10 feet of exterior paint to be disturbed will not be addressed due to lead based paint issues. Houses with fading paint will be a lower priority. The same policies apply to decks, stairways, trim, fascia boards, porches, soffits, and eaves. Detached structures will not be painted. Grievance Policy If the applicant believes program eligibility requirements have been met and services have been unfairly denied, applicant must submit a written request for review within 30 days of being notified of the denial. This letter, containing the reasons applicant feels the decision to be in error, shall be addressed to the Human Services Program Coordinator who will review the matter and respond with a decision within 10 working days of receipt of applicant's letter. 27 28 Greetings RFP DCHS—HCD—CD-53119 Administrative Coordinator Based on our understanding and the information provided, the document requested 800.1 Census Data supporting Low Moderate -income Area Benefit does not apply to the type of application we are submitting our request for funding.

Implementation of the Comprehensive Plan started in August 2016 with the application to Congress for New Urbanism (CNU) to be a Legacy Project. The City's proposal was accepted and a workshop was held in February 2017. CNU's final report and recommendations were given to the City Council in May 2017 and included a discussion of the role of on -street parking in setting the main street character and development parameters for the neighborhood (see Attachment A). Work revising the development regulations, zoning districts, and design manual for TIB and making TIB a "complete street" began in June 2017. In April 2019, the City approved a contract with KPG to produce street design alternatives, vehicular traffic mitigation, and costs for adding on -street parking to TIB. In the interim, a moratorium on auto -oriented uses and hotels and motels was first adopted in July 2017 and has been extended since then. Discussion Main street field trip Changes to TIB's streetscape is an important piece in the CNU recommendations for transitioning to a "main street", and staff are evaluating the costs benefits of various on - street parking alternatives and mitigation measures. An evaluation will be completed in August. To support the City Council and community's decision related to on -street parking and bicycle infrastructure to TIB, staff would like to organize a field trip to places in the region that provide examples of the options that will be considered. Inclusion of the Planning Commission is also recommended because of their land use advisory role for the City. Moratorium The current moratorium is set to expire on July 9, 2019. Staff believes that the moratorium should be extended to allow for discussion on options, mitigation, budget and on the timeline for the street improvements and the coordinated Zoning Code update. 31 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 Interim modifications to the existing Zoning Code permitted uses related to auto - oriented uses and hotel, motels, and extended stays can be taken to the Planning Commission for a hearing and recommendation, which would cancel the need for further extensions of the moratorium. The Planning Commission's recommendation can be brought to the City Council for a decision prior to the sunset of the current moratorium. Next Steps Staff will coordinate the tour dates and agenda through Laurel Humphrey, Legislative analyst. Recommendation 1. Forward the draft moratorium extension ordinance to the COW for a public hearing; and 2. Forward to the Planning Commission a request for Zoning Code land use modifications related to auto -oriented uses and hotels, motels and extended stays in the TIB neighborhood. Attachment: A.

The first is restriping the Boulevard from a five lane road into a three lane street. This includes the addition of new crosswalks and a protected bike lane (See page 32 for details). The second step is a change to the zoning ordinance to assure develop- ment will implement the vision. This change includes permitting greater diversity and capacity of uses while allowing incremental development in the short term (See page 42 for de- tails). CPU LEGACY PROJECT 30 31 IMPLEMENTATION Short term steps for implementation include re -striping the Boulevard and amending the zoning. RESTRIPING PLAN The initial step in the TIB evolution is a restriping plan for the Boulevard. Traffic studies must be done in ad- vance of the work, but a schematic plan was developed during the work- shop, shown on the next pages. Some parts of TIB have distances as great as 2,500' without a crosswalk. This distance provides a dangerous enviroment where residents cross midblock with no protection. To build a robust main street environment, pedestrians must be able to easily cross the street to access shops on the other side. In addition to cross- walks, new RRFBs are recommended, A RRFB is an amber -colored flash- ing light (LED) that is activated by a Image Credit: City of Bloomington, Indiana pedestrian before using a crosswalk. The purpose of an RRFB is to increase vehicle yielding at crosswalks. RRFBs are attached to pedestrian crossing warning signs, and are also accompa- nied by piano key crosswalks and ad- vance yield makings. The beacons are usually solar powered, and flash us- ing an irregular patten that is similar to emergency vehicle flashers on po- lice vehicles.

BACKGROUND 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 promotion2. There is currently just over $1 million in lodging tax funds available for use. 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 awarded3. The City accepts applications on a rolling basis, with the LTAC reviewing requests monthly. 1 This is a working name only. 2 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." 3 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." 49 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 Pending Applications Following its April 23, 2019 meeting, LTAC has forward an application from City of Tukwila's Office of Economic Development. 1. City of Tukwila, International Food Truck Roundup ($5, 000) In 2017 the City Council adopted the "Tukwila Brand Guidelines and Strategy (Guidelines)" to help the City focus its marketing and branding strategies to help with tourism development in the City. As part of the development of the Guidelines the City conducted a destination audit to determine the City's strengths and weaknesses for attracting tourist to the City. One of the biggest weakness found in the audit was a lack of event and activities targeted at tourists. Tentatively scheduled for July 214, the International Food Truck Roundup will feature food trucks with food and goodies from throughout the world. The City has partnered with Westfield Southcenter and Culinex, a local Tukwila business to develop and host the event. This will not be an event put on by the City; however, the City will be a sponsor and help with marketing and operations. Hopefully, this event will be the inaugural event, and this will become an annual event. The event also provides an opportunity for the City to engage food truck operators and work with them to bring their trucks into the City on a more regular basis, outside of just doing events. FINANCIAL IMPACT The total amount of funding requested from the lodging tax fund is $5,000. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve the funding request, as recommended by LTAC. Staff suggests that the application be placed on May 20, 2019 consent agenda. ATTACHMENTS A.

DISCUSSION In order to create affordability, the gap between market costs and affordable rents needs to be bridged bydirect financial contributions, in kind contributions such as land donation or fee waivers, and reductions in construction cost bvmodifying development standards such aa density or parking.

Direct and Indirect Funding Offering land and/or funding (impact fee reductions, Multi -Family Tax Exemption (MFTE), or direct contributions) to encourage other agencies and non -profits to develop housing, such as SHAG at Tukwila Village; 3. Lowering Development Costs Using development agreements to modify Zoning standards on a case by case basis (Tukwila Village, Bellwether and Homestead) or making overall Code changes to encourage private development such as the Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance or the senior housing standards. The last major housing project to be developed using Tukwila's current Multi -Family Design Standards, recreation space requirements and parking standards was The Peaks Condominiums in 1995. It is unlikely that new projects will be developed at the densities permitted in MDR and HDR zoning, especially combined with requirements for 400 square feet of recreation space and two parking spaces per unit including one -bedrooms. Building and Fire Codes could also be reviewed to identify opportunities for cost reduction; 4. Inclusionary/Incentive Zoning Inclusionary zoning requires that market rate housing projects either include a certain percentage of affordable units or pay a fee -in -lieu for development of affordable housing elsewhere. This requires robust market forces that allow projects to be profitable even after this additional expense. The TUC Zone offers a height incentive to projects that include affordable housing units; and 5. Direct Housing Development and Preservation Purchasing, remodeling and managing existing units and/or developing new housing ourselves similar to the actions of the Renton and King County Housing Authorities. The Council will have the opportunity to explore affordable housing issues in more depth at the Short Course on Affordable Housing scheduled for May 29th. The Regional Affordable Housing Task Force has developed a summary of their final report that identifies recommended strategies, see Attachment B. Tukwila could draw from these to identify actions tailored to our city's needs. FINANCIAL IMPACT Varies based on proposed actions. Having a consultant prepare a market summary, overview of the regional housing landscape, and develop housing strategy recommendations tailored to Tukwila would cost approximately $15,000 to $20,000. RECOMMENDATION Information only in preparation for the Short Course on Affordable Housing sponsored by the Department of Commerce. This issue could then return to CDN for continued discussion on preferred strategies and actions. ATTACHMENTS A. Tukwila Comprehensive Plan Housing Element B.

This Housing element describes how Tukwila's housing needs will be satisfied through 2031. Projected housing needs were determined by a joint committee of cities and the County, as required by State law. The importance of these needs was highlighted in the development of the City's 2012 Strategic Plan and guided by the Community Conversations outreach efforts of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan update. This element is based on a detailed analysis of Tukwila's housing needs contained inthe Housing Background Report. Tukwila will continue togrow over the next twenty years, projected toaccononomdateanadditiona| 4`80Ohouseholds and l5,50Onew jobs bvZO5l. By3O]5,Tukwila isprojected toacconnrnodate an additional 768 households and 2,480 new jobs, for a total of 5,568 new households and 17,980 new jobs over the next twenty years. Tukvvila'szoning can accommodate this projected g/ovvth as the City has capacity for over 6,000 new housing units. The goals and policies presented here identify the steps the City of Tukwila can take in response to the housing issues found within our community. These steps are necessary to plan for growth that will ensure the sustainability and vitality of the existing housing stock, to reduce barriers that prevent low- and moderate -income households from living near their work or transit, and to preserve housing that is afforclably priced for all households, including lOvv-iO[OrDe households. Tukvvil8's growth and future must include policies that create thriving, equitable neighborhoods where everyone has the opportunity to live in a safe, healthy and affordable home in the city of opportunity and the community of choice. TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - 2015 PAGE 3-2 65 ELEMENT 3 WHAT IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING? Total housing expenditures in excess of 30% of household income is considered "excessive" and viewed as an indicator of a housing affordability problem. This definition of affordability was established under the United States National Housing Act of 1937. Average housing costs in Tukwila — $1,191 for monthly rent or $992 for monthly housing payments for a three -bedroom unit — are affordable to households making at least 50-80% AMI, about $33,120 annually or $16.56 per hour. Many of the common occupations in Tukwila pay less than $16.56 per hour; these include cashiers, $13.55; childcare workers, $11.59; food service workers, $12.25; and retail salesperson: $15.28. Occupations that provide a wage needed to afford market rate housing include bookkeeping clerk, $20.53; medical assistant, $18.75; machinist, $25.82; and painter, $19.86. (Washington State Employment Security Department, 2013) ISSUES In developing the goals and policies for Tukwila's Housing Element, these issues were identified. HOUSING AFFORDABILITY While Tukwila continues to have affordable units for those at 50-80% of area median income (AMI), more and more households are struggling to meet their housing costs. Community poverty has tripled in Tukwila over the past ten years as evidenced in Census figures and Tukwila School District demographics (see the Housing Background Report for more information). Almost half of City residents are burdened by housing costs, paying more than 30% of their income for housing. In particular, households who make 30% or less of the AMI face the greatest struggle to find affordable housing. The majority of Tukwila's affordable housing is 'naturally occurring, meaning that factors such as location and age of the home result in below regional average costs. Because future housing development will likely include redevelopment of existing affordable housing and the development of new higher cost housing in the Urban Center, efforts to address the lack of affordable housing for residents earning less than 30% AMI will most likely require subsidized housing through partnerships with non-profit housing groups and other housing stakeholders. Relying on market forces to provide affordable housing for very low-income residents will not provide an adequate quantity, as defined by King County affordable housing targets, of quality affordable housing. TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - 2015 PAGE 3-3 66 ELEMENT 3 HOUSING HOUSING CONDITION Most existing single-family homes in Tukwila were constructed before 1970 and the majority of multi- family homes were constructed between the 1960s-1980s. Aging housing stock typically requires more money for maintenance, which can be difficult for residents who are already burdened by other economic stressors such as paying more than 30% of their income for housing. Condition is also linked to affordability. Naturally occurring affordable housing (housing with market prices that meet affordability metrics without policies or accompanying subsidies) is often a result of deteriorating and substandard housing conditions, smaller home size, and older housing stock. HOME OWNERSHIP OPTIONS Having a range of housing types to choose from encourages home ownership. This in turn supports longer term residency and neighborhood stability. Based on 2010 US Census data, home ownership is relatively low among Tukwila residents, and is decreasing. While less than half of the housing units in Tukwila are apartments, almost 60% of housing units in the City are renter -occupied. The majority of the City's housing stock consists of older two -bedroom single-family homes and apartments in large multi -family developments. This range of housing options does not accommodate residents in all stages of life, including young adults, multigenerational families, older adults hoping to "age in place,"and older adults looking to downsize. COUNTYWIDE AFFORDABILITY TARGETS King County's Countywide Planning Policies recognize there is an unmet need for housing that is affordable to households earning less than 80% area median income (AMI), with the greatest need for households earning 5 0% or less of the AMI. According to the Countrywide Planning Policies, the Countywide need for housing by percentage of AMI is: 50-80% AMI (moderate income) 16% of total housing supply 30-50% AMI (low income) 12% of total housing supply Less than 3 0 % AMI (very low income) 1 2 % of total housing supply TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - 2015 PAGE 3-4 67 ELEMENT 3 HOUSING PROJECTIONS The Puget Sound Regional Council — the regional planning organization that develops growth projections — estimates that Tukwila will need 4,800 new homes by 2031, and a total of 5,568 new homes by 2035. Historically, there has been a large gap between the City's growth target and number of housing units constructed. Since the last Comprehensive Plan update, the City adopted a new plan and development regulations for its Southcenter urban center, and new development regulations in the City's redevelopment area on Tukwila International Boulevard. Over the next five years, approved projects in these two areas are expected to create over 700 new housing units. This development activity suggests the City will make substantial progress toward meeting the housing target of 2035. GOALS, POLICIES AND STRATEGIES The following goals and policies guide Tukwila's approach to meeting the challenge of revitalizing residential neighborhoods and encouraging new housing development, while maintaining affordable housing and meeting the needs of low-income and special -needs households. GOAL 3.1 The City of Tukwila provides the City's fair share of regional housing. POLICIES 3.1.1 Provide sufficient zoned housing potential to accommodate future single- and multi -family households to meet the regional growth target of 4,800 new housing units by 2031. 3.1.2 Work with residents and property owners to consider housing options that meet current and future needs. Implementation Strategies With Council feedback, develop and implement a neighborhood outreach process to receive public input from residents and property owners regarding housing development in residential neighborhoods. Outreach may include but is not limited to: Citywide and neighborhood -specific mailings, online and in -person surveys, fliers, open houses and other events. Following the neighborhood outreach process, consider flexible zoning standards to promote housing options that meet current and future needs. Establish parameters for design characteristics such as height, lot coverage, home design features and setbacks. TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - 2015 PAGE 3-5 68 ELEMENT 3 HOUSING GOAL 3.2 The City of Tukwila has safe, healthy and affordable homes for all residents in Tukwila. POLICIES 3.2.1 Provide zoning that allows a variety of housing throughout the City to allow for diverse, equitable neighborhoods. 3.2.2 Encourage a full range of housing opportunities for all population segments, including very low-income households earning less than 30% AMI, through actions including, but not limited to, revising the Tukwila's zoning map and development codes as appropriate, which would enable a wide variety of housing types to be built. 3.2.3 Provide sufficient appropriate zoning for housing of all types, including government - assisted housing, housing for low-income families, manufactured housing, multi- family housing, and group homes and foster care facilities, subject to conditions that appropriately integrate them into existing neighborhoods. 3.2.4 Work with the owners and managers ofTukwila's new and existing permanent or long-term low-income housing to maximize desirability, long-term affordability, and connection with the community. 3.2.5 Develop affordable housing preservation programs and strategies, including prevention of the displacement of low-income households in areas of redevelopment. 3.2.6 Strive to make alternative and affordable housing options available for residents currently living in substandard housing, such as pre -HUD code mobile homes. 3.2.7 Support the acquisition of housingT developments by private and public affordable housing groups, by acting as a facilitator between affordable housing groups and property owners to aid in the preservation of affordable housing. TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - 2015 PAGE 3-6 69 ELEMENT 3 Implementation Strategies Following the neighborhood outreach process, consider allowing a detached accessory dwelling unit in the Low -Density Residential zone on all lots that meet the minimum lot area, when various appearance and performance criteria related to impacts on adjacent properties are satisfied. Promote mixed -use developments with ground -level commercial space and residences, at and above the street level in specified areas. Using lessons learned and input from the neighborhood outreach process, consider reinstating the limited demonstration projects for clustered or cottage housing, and allow limited demonstration projects for innovative housing types not currently supported in the Zoning Code. Using input from the neighborhood outreach process, explore increasing density in areas supported by transit to enhance transit -oriented development, and/or in proximity to high - employment areas. Identify specific publically-owned land for affordable housing development. Explore acquiring property to land bank (acquiring land and holding it for future development) for affordable housing. Develop specific statements regarding location, type and characteristics of desired housing affordable to a variety of incomes, for presenting to local for -profit and non-profit developers. Include supportive services, such as employment training and/or other economic development services, in affordable housing programs. Partner with non-profit organizations and for -profit developers to acquire, rehabilitate, construct, preserve and maintain permanent affordable housing and support services. TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - 2015 PAGE 3-7 70 ELEMENT 3 Explore and develop incentive zoning, a housing trust fund, density bonuses, parking exemptions, deferred or reduced payment of impact fees, multi -family tax exemptions, and/or other tools to develop or maintain affordable housing that meets the needs of the community, specifically units sized and priced for low- and very -low-income residents. Participate at the regional level, by supporting a South King County Housing and Neighborhood Planner position to work collaboratively with the Planning, Code Enforcement, and Human Services Divisions. This position would aid in the achievement of identified housing needs. Responsibilities could include pursuing and overseeing grant opportunities, developing elationships with for -profit and non-profit stakeholders for City and regional affordable housing development, increasing representation n regional efforts to fund affordable housing, supporting land use and rental housing programs to improve the condition of affordable housing for Tukwila's residents, and exploring establishing a neighborhood council/liaison program. GOAL 3.3 The City of Tukwila supports and collaborates with other jurisdictions and organizations to assess housing needs, coordinate funding, and preserve and create affordable housing opportunities. POLICIES 3.3.1 Support the equitable distribution of regional funds, such as Community Development Block Grants and other federal, State and County funding, to support needed affordable housing. 3.3.2 In a "State of Housing" report, periodically review regional low-income housing goals to evaluate the City's compliance with regional standards and to ensure that the City's affordable housing units are being preserved and maintained. Adjust policies as needed if affordable housing goals are not being met. 3.3.3 Continue supporting very low-, low- and moderate -income housing as defined by King County income levels, to address the Countywide need by supporting regional affordable housing development and preservation efforts. TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - 2015 PAGE 3-8 71 ELEMENT 3 RENTAL HOUSING INSPECTION PROGRAM Implemented in 2011, the Residential Rental Licensing and Inspection Program requires all rental unit owners to obtain an annual residential rental business license and complete an inspection every four years. Rental units must meet code standards, and violations must be addressed within 30 days. The program seeks to improve substandard and unsanitary residential buildings that do not meet State and local housing and technical codes. The end of 2014 marked the completion of the first four-year cycle of inspections, meaning that inspections were completed for rentals in each quadrant of the City. A total of 3,641 inspections were conducted during this period, 148 of which failed and were brought into compliance to pass a subsequent inspection. implementation Strategies Partner with other jurisdictions to support regional funding for affordable housing that serves homeless individuals and families, and those earning less than 30% of the area median income. Engage with non-profit developers and King County to pursue federal and philanthropic funds for affordable housing. Enhance and encourage effective partnerships between land use planners and human service planners. Foster relationships with owners of privately -owned multi -family housing to encourage their participation in voucher programs. and partner with them to preserve and enhance safe, healthy and affordable housing options. Support and encourage legislation at the County, State, and federal level that promotes affordable housing goals. GOAL 3.4 The City of Tukwila has an improved and continually improving housing stock in support of enhanced neighborhood quality. POLICIES 3.4.1 Continue to improve the condition of rental housing through administration of the Residential Rental Licensing and Inspection Program. 3.4.2 Continue to support the maintenance, weatherization, rehabilitation, and long-term preservation or replacement of existing housing for low- and moderate -income residents. TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - 2015 PAGE 3-9 72 ELEMENT 3 Implementation Strategies Enforce the International Property Maintenance Code. Advocate for rehabilitation and weatherization programs for rental units. Continue the Residential Rental Licensing and Inspection Program. Explore adoption and enforcement of the National Healthy Housing Standard. Explore partnerships with non -profits to facilitate the purchase and upgrade of poorly maintained rental housing. Support the education of tenants about cost-efficient choices they can make to improve the health of their housing. Educate property owners about available resources they can access to improve their rental housing. Explore establishing a Housing Trust Fund to provide assistance to low-income homeowners for connecting to sewer service. GOAL 3.5 The City of Tukwila includes a full range of housing for persons in all stages of life and for all members of our community. POLICIES 3.5.1 Adapt housing design standards to address the needs of all populations. 3.5.2 Assist in providing residents of the community with the human services, economic development and transportation needed to increase access to housing options. 3.5.3 Continue to develop relationships with populations that have been historically underserved, and continue to support investment to better serve their needs. MINOR HOME REPAIR PROGRAM The City administers the Minor Home Repair Program, which provides and promotes the repair and maintenance of housing for low- and moderate - income homeowners. The program is funded through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The City receives approximately $25,000 in annual funding, and 20-25 homeowners use the program every year. While this program is a great resource for residents, Tukwila Human Services estimates the program only meets about 10% of existing need for home repair and maintenance. Additional funding and partnerships can help to improve the look and quality of housing throughout the City. TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - 2015 PAGE 3-10 73 ELEMENT 3 HOUSING Implementation Strategies Continue to support and expand the Community Connector/Community Liaison program. Pursue collaborations and meaningful dialogue with organizations that work with diverse and historically underserved populations. Continue to coordinate City planning and programming among departments as related to housing options and access. GOAL 3.6 Increase long-term residency in the City. POLICIES 3.6.1 Encourage long-term residency by improving neighborhood quality, health and safety. 3.6.2 Encourage long-term residency by providing a range of home ownership options for persons in all stages of life. 3.6.3 Support neighborhood associations and groups that actively work to improve neighborhood quality and strengthen sense of community within the neighborhood. 3.6.4 Continue and expand partnerships with the school districts serving Tukwila students, in support of programs that seek to improve school performance and student success. - • $1s-t,` Implementation Strategies Encourage and help market private and public assistance and education programs for first-time homebuyers. Continue applying design guidelines. Continue applying development regulations. Develop small neighborhood grants for cleanup and community -building events. Explore creating and supporting a neighborhood liaison program to help develop neighborhood associations. TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - 2015 PAGE 3-11 74 ELEMENT 3 HOUSING FAMILY SIZED HOUSING A city that is good for children is good for all. Family -sized, family -friendly housing units contain more than two bedrooms and include features critical for families, such as areas where family members can gather for meals and other activities, sufficient storage space, a spot for children to do homework, and easy access to outdoor play and recreations space. Many types of low -density housing, such as cottage or clustered housing and duplexes, provide compatible, attractive and affordable alternatives to traditional single-family homes. Allowing a broader mix of housing in single- family neighborhoods — with access to transit and proximity to schools, parks, and other child - oriented infrastructure — can enable and attract a larger number of families with a wider range of incomes to live in Tukwila. Develop relationships with existing homeowner and neighborhood associations. Include shared public spaces in new public buildings in neighborhoods that allow neighborhood gatherings. Develop a program that allows street closures for block parties. Develop a neighborhood block party"kit"for community use to encourage neighborhood interaction. Work with school districts serving Tukwila students to promote a positive image and reputation of Tukwila's schools and educational programs.

The Task Force recommended a Five - Year Action Plan as a way to spur the region into action quickly. The Action Plan includes seven goals and each goal has enumber ofstrategies toachieve the goal. The Action Plan also identifies specific actions that can betaken inthe near term to implement the strategies. While encouraging quick action, the Plan also establishes the structure for ongoing collaboration tocarry the work forward past the five-year action plan. The region should adopt strategies to ensure anadequate housing supply countywide tomeet the needs of low-income individuals and families who are [OSt'burdened.This includes constructing new housing, preserving the quality and affordability of existing housing, and providing subsidies when needed.

Funds are based on city populations. For 2019 Tukwila is eligible to receive up to $19,800. The Port requires the applicant to provide matching funds of at least 50% of the grant. Of the matching funds, up to half can be met through in -kind resources. DISCUSSION Staff plans to apply for the full $19,800 of which $7,000 would be used for a business recruitment website and the rest would be used to create an economic development plan. Business Recruitment Website: This is a project being led by the City of Kent in partnership with the Cities of Auburn, Pacific, Renton, and Tukwila. Kent has hired Barokas Communications to provide messaging and media relations and The Medium to provide a website, Messaging will position the Kent Valley as a center for aerospace and advanced manufacturing technologies. The website would cost approximately $40,000 which includes Tukwila's $7,000 contribution, The City of Kent is investing over $100,000 of additional funds for developing the communications messages that would be used on the website and implementing a public and media relations plan. Economic Development Plan: City staff is currently working on an economic development plan for Council consideration later this year. We currently have two, part-time interns gathering information and conducting research. At some point we will begin conducting outreach to businesses, residents and other stakeholders. The Port grant would enable the City to conduct additional research, perform more business and resident outreach, and purchase information or hire consultants, if needed. A more detailed description is in the attached draft application. The Port is providing a very good opportunity to accomplish more than we are currently able to do. Staff is bringing this item to CDN as information so that the Council is aware of these projects and in the event there needs to be a future budget adjustment to reflect the grant. 87 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT The Port grant would be additional revenue that would cover the additional costs. The City's matching funds are already included in the Economic Development Division's budget and planned to be spent on the economic development plan and so there would be no net effect on the City's financial position. However, the grant was not included in the 2019 budget and so a budget adjustment for the $19,800 of revenues and expenses may be necessary. RECOMMENDATION Discussion only.

How much funding is available? Based on a per capita calculation, King County cities (except Seattle) may each receive between $5,000 and $65,000 based on the city's population. The maximum grant allocation for each city, with populations between 5,000 and 65,000 people, is based on one dollar per resident. Population estimates are determined by the Washington State Office of Financial Management, which publishes population estimates each year. The Port uses the most recent population estimates at the start of the grant cycle. Cities with populations numbering less than 5,000 people are eligible to receive grant funds up to $5,000 and cities with populations numbering more than 65,000 people are eligible to receive grant funding up to $65,000. See Appendix A for eligible award amounts. Grant funds require a 50 percent match of dollars or in -kind resources. In -kind resources can only be used for up to 25 percent of the grant award amount, For example, a grant request for $50,000 in Port funds would require the city to commit $25,000 in matching dollars and/ or in kind resources. Of that $25,000, up to $12,500 of in -kind resources could be applied toward the match requirement. How may the funds be used? Eligible Activities Port of Seattle funds must be used on projects to benefit small and emerging businesses, create jobs, foster business growth, or support the Port of Seattle business interests. Uses may include: • Small business development (including incubator/accelerator projects) • Business recruitment initiatives designed to attract new companies to a region or city • Industry retention and assistance service delivery or projects (e.g. workforce development) • Tourism development • Downtown revitalization • Commercial or industrial property development • Other community or economic development projects that support new investment and job creation Ineligible Activities • Capital projects including projects to construct either new facilities or make significant, long-term improvements to existing facilities, • Underwriting general or capital expenses associated with an event or program already in progress. • Any project that would violate federal, state or local laws, • Any project that would fall outside of the authorized activities that Ports can fund or engage in. Page 2 of 8 Application Template for Funding 2019 Port of Seattle Economic Development Partnership Program 90 Port of Seattle Economic Development Partnership Program 2019 Funding Application The Port of Seattle recommends applicant cities meet with Port of Seattle staff before submitting the Economic Development Partnership Program applications. How are projects evaluated and what are the reporting requirements? Once the program application is approved, the Port will enter into a contract with the city that defines the terms of the funds. The project budget and project scope of work from the application are used in the agreement between the Port of Seattle and each participating city. At the close of the project, applicants are required to fill out a final report on the effectiveness of the project and submit invoices for final payment. All 2019 projects, invoices, and reporting associated with the projects must be submitted electronically to the Port of Seattle by 12:00 pm on November 1, 2019, All associated grant material can be emailed to edpartnership@portseattle.orq. The Port recommends submitting materials before the deadline, The Port of Seattle monetary contribution cannot exceed the predetermined amount, even if the project's actual cost increases above the project budget. If actual project costs in any budget category deviate more than 10 percent of the total Port contribution to the project, then please contact the Port of Seattle. The applicant city will need to document any budget changes in the Project Final Report. Page 3 of 8 2019 Application for Funding Pod of Seattle ED Partnership Program 91 Port of Seattle Economic Development Partnership Program 2019 Funding Application Project Description and Budget 1. Project Description: Summarize the project(s) you plan to support through the economic development partnership program. Include a brief description of the goal(s) and/ or issues to be addressed with each project. Economic Development Plan: The City of Tukwila does not currently have an economic development plan and has been a project the City has desired for a number of years. We started working on the plan in early 2019 with a goal of completing it this year. The City has hired two interns who have been conducting research and gathering data. The Port funding would enable the City to extend the work of the interns to do more and better research plus more and better community engagement, particularly outreach to the business community. As the City begins receiving input and feedback during the engagement process, the need for additional information or expertise may arise and the City would use Port funding for purchasing the additional information or contracting with consultants. The funding would also be used to ensure the final economic development plan is an attractive, engaging document that businesses and government will want to use for guiding policy and attracting additional development to the City. Marketing and Media Messaging, Business Recruitment Website: The Cities of Auburn, Kent, Pacific, Renton and Tukwila are pursuing development of a shared business recruitment website to supply businesses and/or investors seeking real estate with information (supplied with a GIS web tool), or those reading Kent Valley storylines (Boeing Space Center property for sale, satellite manufacturer moves to Auburn or Tukwila, Blue Origin expands its HQ presence, etc,) in business publications to have a place to learn more. This website will complement a proactive marketing strategy which aims to position Kent Valley as a premier business destination based on its rich history and ongoing legacy as a center for aerospace innovation and advanced manufacturing technologies. Neighboring jurisdictions are choosing to participate financially in this effort. Please see the City of Kent's grant application. The City of Tukwila would like to contribute $7, 000 of its Port grant to the joint marketing effort. 2.

Connection to Port of Seattle interests: Explain how your project benefits the Port of Seattle and ties to the Port's business interests? Economic Development Plan: A strong economic development plan that is based on quality information and community engagement can provide the community consensus needed to ensure the City continues to have a strong economy which reinforces the regional economy and business at the Port. Business Recruitment Website/Marketing: This Kent Valley sub -regional messaging can help consolidate an industrial storyline of mutual benefit to these municipalities and be a building block to the greater Seattle innovation narrative.

Collaboration with partners: Please identify any community organizations (chamber of commerce, neighborhood associations, Small Business Development Centers, SCORE, Greater Seattle Partners, etc.) you plan to work with to complete all or part of your project(s)? We would seek assistance from the Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce to engage local businesses in providing input and feedback on the economic development plan. This could include informing the businesses of the opportunity to participate, help coordinating and staffing business outreach events, or other ways to reach the businesses. We would seek input from the SBDC at Highline College on the needs of our local small businesses. 6. Use of consultants or contractors: If you plan to use consultants or contractors to complete all or part of the project, please identify the firm or type of firm you plan to hire for this project.

It is possible we would hire a firm such as BERK, Community Attributes, or EcoNorthwest.
