These amendments would eliminate the need to renew the current moratorium when it expires in January 2021. BACKGROUND In 2015, the City Council adopted an updated Comprehensive Plan with new goals, policies, and vision for Tukwila International Boulevard. A key goal of the Plan’s Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB) Element is to transition TIB from a highway serving regional traffic into more of a safer, walkable “main street” with businesses serving the residents located nearby. The long- term vision also called for new housing and commercial uses at more urban densities within walking distance of the light rail station. In February 2017, a three-day public workshop with the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU) was held to develop ideas for implementing the Comprehensive Plan. At the May 1, 2017 City Council meeting, CNU recommended two key actions: 1) revise the street design for TIB to add on-street parking for businesses, improve safety, and reduce speeding; and 2) update the zoning code with standards that would support and encourage the types and form of new development that create a walkable main street. Shortly after the CNU workshop, Council adopted a 6-month moratorium prohibiting auto- oriented and lodging uses in in the TIB study area to ensure that any future development or redevelopment occurring prior to adoption of the new standards would not conflict with the vision for a walkable “main street”. The moratorium also was intended to prevent investment in uses that were likely not going to be allowed under the planned revisions to the zoning code. Work on the new zoning code standards and TIB rechannelization options has been progressing but is not yet completed, most recently due to impacts from the pandemic on staffing and City revenues. The City Council has been continuing to renew the moratorium every six months since 2017 but indicated in December 2019 that they would not do so again when 1 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 https://tukwilawa.sharepoint.com/sites/departmentofcommunitydevelopment/DCDPlanning/Code Updates/TIB District Interim LU Revisions/CC Meetings/L20- 0015 COW info memo.docx the moratorium expired in July 2020. Instead, the City Council requested the Planning Commission to consider zoning code amendments regarding auto-oriented and lodging uses that would replace the provisions in the moratorium. Planning Commission Public Hearings The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the draft interim zoning code amendments related to certain auto-oriented and lodging uses in the TIB study area prohibited by the moratorium (Ordinance 2620) on April 23, 2020. The hearing was held online due to the Governor’s Proclamation 20-28 which prohibited any public agency from conducting in-person meetings. After the virtual hearing, the City Council expressed concern about the difficulty of public outreach and participation, and the Planning Commission postponed the continuation of their hearing to a date in the future when it could be conducted in-person. Since the adoption of the amendments was to be delayed, the Council moved forward with renewing the moratorium on July 6th (Ordinance 2631 – Attachment A) and directed that the interim zoning code amendments now be adopted prior to the new expiration date of January 2021. To accommodate this schedule, the Planning Commission continued their public hearing virtually on October 22, 2020, as restrictions on public gatherings had not yet been lifted. For the October 22 public hearing, public notice was expanded to ensure the community was well-informed of the upcoming hearing. TMC 18.104.120 requires notice of a public hearing to be sent to residents, occupants, and owners of record of property within 500 feet of the site as well as any parties of record. Prior to the October 22 meeting: • Emails were sent after the April 23 hearing to those who provided comment, inviting them to meet with staff to discuss any concerns or comments about the interim zoning code amendments prior to the continuation of the Planning Commission public hearing. Mr. Yusef of East Side for Hire responded and met with David Cline and Jack Pace. No other recipients requested to meet with staff. • 11,300 postcards were mailed to all businesses, residents and property owners located in the City (excluding Southcenter, Tukwila South, and properties in the MIC zone) providing notice of the virtual public hearing and an open house on the proposed changes, and directions as to how to participate and provide comments. Included on the postcard in five different languages was “This information is very important to your community. Please ask someone to translate it for you”. • 337 emails with the postcards attached were sent to TIB interested parties on October 7, 2020 providing notice of the public hearing and the open house. • Staff hand-delivered flyers on the public hearing and open house to all businesses in the RC and NCC zoning districts in the TIB study area. Included on the flyer in five different languages was “This information is very important to your community. Please ask someone to translate it for you”. • Notice of the hearing and open house was published in the Seattle Times on October 8, 2020. The online Open House was held on October 20, 2020. The goal of the open house was to provide an opportunity for residents and business owners to get more information on the proposed amendments and ask questions of staff so that they could be well-prepared to provide comments at the upcoming public hearings. Five people attended the open house. On November 5, 2020, the Planning Commission concluded their deliberations and forwarded their recommendations on the proposed modifications to Table 18-6 to the City Council for additional public review and discussion. Here are links to the three Planning Commission 2 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 https://tukwilawa.sharepoint.com/sites/departmentofcommunitydevelopment/DCDPlanning/Code Updates/TIB District Interim LU Revisions/CC Meetings/L20- 0015 COW info memo.docx meeting agenda packets: April 23, 2020 meeting, October 22, 2020 meeting, Nov 5, 2020 meeting. There were four planning commissioners present at the Nov 5, 2020 meeting when deliberations were finalized. The minutes for the Planning Commission’s April 23 and October 22 public hearings and November 5 meeting can be found in Attachment B (The Nov 5 meeting minutes are draft, but we anticipate they will be adopted at Nov 12th Planning Commission meeting). Attachment C contains copies of the written public comments and matrices of verbal public comments and Planning Commission questions received during the April and October public hearings. DISCUSSION OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES •Moratorium (Ordinance 2631) Ordinance 2631 currently prohibits the development, expansion, intensification or establishment of any auto-oriented commercial uses including but not limited to gas stations; car washes; vehicular repair or services; vehicular sales or rentals; vehicular storage; commercial parking and drive-throughs; battery, tire, engine body repair shops; vehicular sales or rentals; and hotels, motels, and extended-stay facilities in the Neighborhood Center Commercial (NCC) and Regional Commercial (RC) zoning districts in the TIB study area. •Affected Zones in the TIB Study Area (see Attachment D) The limits of the TIB study area and the affected zoning districts can be seen in Attachment A. The TIB study area is roughly bound by S. 139th Street in the north, S. 160th Street in the south, Military Road S./City limits to the west, and 42nd Avenue S. to the east. The proposed zoning code amendments apply to these zoning districts: o The Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) zone is found in a few locations throughout the City. However, the proposed amendments would be limited to those areas located within the TIB study area. o The Regional Commercial (RC) zones are only located within the TIB study area. Proposed TMC Table 18-6 Zoning Code Amendments Several options were proposed by staff and considered by the Planning Commission over the course of their deliberations. The most restrictive option was to regulate the type of uses in the TIB area by prohibiting all auto-oriented and lodging uses, consistent with the moratorium. However, the final recommendations in Table 1 allow most of these uses and regulate the physical aspects of building form and site design to create a high quality, superior walking experience. The majority of these were based on CNU and staff’s recommendations which were then refined by the Planning Commission after considering public comments. There were four Planning Commissioners in attendance at the November 5, 2020 meeting to deliberate on the proposed amendments. Table 1 below summarizes land uses considered, any recommended changes, and the results of the Planning Commission’s votes on Motions to forward the item to the City Council. The first six land uses listed in Table 1 were recommended unanimously by the Commissioners in attendance and are included in the draft ordinance. Voting on the remaining four land uses was mixed – they received a combination of votes in favor of, opposed to, or abstentions. They are presented in Table 1 for further discussion by the City Council. 3 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 4 https://tukwilawa.sharepoint.com/sites/departmentofcommunitydevelopment/DCDPlanning/Code Updates/TIB District Interim LU Revisions/CC Meetings/L20- 0015 COW info memo.docx Specifically, the first column in Table 1 identifies the land uses currently prohibited by the moratorium. Columns 2 shows if the use is currently permitted (P) in NCC or RC zoning districts, and the associated footnote is a proposed change. Column 3 contains the footnote with the proposed change (the recommended changes are represented by underlining and strikeouts). The fourth column presents the reasons for making the proposed change, and the last column summarizes how the Planning Commissioners voted. Note that: • Motels is the only use currently allowed by code and is recommended to be prohibited in the TIB study area by the proposed amendments. • For the other nine uses, new footnotes were proposed to regulate building or site design. • Minor language clarifications are proposed to current footnotes for Commercial Parking. • Application of regulations: o The regulations would apply to all new uses in the RC and NCC district. o Per the City’s Nonconforming Regulations (TMC 18.70) pre-existing legal uses in the NCC and RC zones are grandfathered and can continue to operate. Only when some thresholds listed under TMC 18.70 (such as an expansion, structural alteration, vacant for more than 24 months) is triggered do they need to come into compliance with the code. Over time, it is intended that these uses and structures will be replaced with those that are more neighborhood-serving and contribute to a walkable streetscape. o Pre-existing legally established auto sales and vehicle rental uses in the RC zone in the TIB study area on the effective date of the ordinance are exempt from the enclosed showroom requirement, provided the use is limited to the existing parcel(s) currently occupied on the date of the ordinance. • Pawnbrokers. There was a suggestion from the Planning Commission during the public hearing to prohibit pawnbrokers and payday lenders in the RC zone as they do not add value to the neighborhood. Pawnbrokers are currently a Conditional use (C) in RC and payday lender is not called out as a specific use in Table 18-6. Neither use is listed as a prohibited use in the moratorium. Pawnbrokers are permitted elsewhere in the City. Staff is seeking input from Council if Pawnbrokers and payday lenders should be prohibited in the RC zone. The vote by the Planning Commissioner was 2 in favor, 1 opposed and 1 abstain on this item. FINANCIAL IMPACT None STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION Adopt the draft Ordinance (Attachment E) with proposed modifications to TMC Chapter 18 Table 18-6. If these interim zoning code changes for TIB are not adopted and the moratorium is not renewed, redevelopment could occur that does not support the community vision and the adopted Comprehensive Plan goals and policies for the TIB area. NEXT STEPS The Committee is being asked to provide input to staff on the items that did not have a consensus vote from the Planning Commission and forward this ordinance to the November 23, 2020 Committee of the Whole meeting for a public hearing and review. Forward a recommendation to approve, deny or modify the draft ordinance at the Regular Meeting on December 7, 2020. ATTACHMENTS 4 Ta b l e 1 .

On July 6, 2020 the City Council of the City of Tukwila, Washington, adopted the following ordinance, the main points of which are summarized by title as follows: Ordinance 2631: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, RENEWING A SIX-MONTH MORATORIUM WITHIN THE TUKWILA INTERNATIONAL BOULEVARD STUDY AREA IN THE CITY OF TUKWILA ON THE DEVELOPMENTOF CERTAIN USES SUCH AS HOTELS, MOTELS, EXTENDED-STAY FACILITIES, OR AUTO- ORIENTED USES; SETTING A DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE MORATORIUM RENEWAL; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. The full text of this ordinance will be provided upon request. Christy O'Flaherty, MMC, City Clerk Published Seattle Times: July 9, 2020 18 CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING MINUTES Date: April 23, 2020 Time: 6:30 PM Location: Virtual meeting via Microsoft Teams Present: Chair Heidi Watters; Vice Chair Louise Strander; Commissioners Dennis Martinez, Sharon Mann, Karen Simmons, Dixie Stark, and Andrea Reay Staff: Department of Community Development (DCD) Deputy Director Minnie Dhaliwal, Planning Supervisor Lynn Miranda and Planning Commission Secretary Wynetta Bivens Protocol: Minnie Dhaliwal explained the protocol for the virtual meeting. She also introduced the Planning Commissioners. Agenda Planning Commission (PC) will make a recommendation and forward it to the City. Item: City Council (CC) will hold another hearing on the proposal. The public will be notified when this item goes to the CC for a public hearing and will have a second opportunity for comment. Adopt Commissioner Mann moved to adopt the February 27, 2020 minutes. Minutes: Commissioner Simmons seconded the motion. Motion passed. Chair Watters opened the public hearing for: CASE NUMBER: L20-0015 PURPOSE: Consider zoning code amendments restricting or prohibiting certain auto-oriented and lodging uses currently prohibited by Ordinance 2620, to implement the Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB) element of the Comprehensive Plan. LOCATION: Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) and Regional Commercial (RC) zones in the TIB study area Lynn Miranda, Planning Supervisor, DCD, gave the presentation for staff. She said the intent of the public hearing is to consider amendments to Table 18-6, Land Uses allowed by district. This will ensure that future development in the TIB area is consistent with and supports the form and type of uses that create a walkable TIB District. She stated that public notification for the public hearing was published in the Seattle Times, and 387 businesses and interested parties were emailed. Information was included in the notice on how to submit public comments in writing or verbally during the meeting, and how to access the virtual meeting. 19 PC Public Hearing 4/23/20 Page 2 She provided background and gave an overview on the TIB planning process. Since the 1990 annexation of the area, revitalization has been a high priority for the City. In 2015, the City updated the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies for the TIB area to make it more walkable and transform TIB from a regional serving road to a “Main Street” serving the neighborhood. In 2017, the City, along with the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU), held a workshop to brainstorm how to implement the new vision for TIB. CNU made two recommendations: First, add on-street parking and bike lanes on TIB. Second, update the zoning code because the current code allows for the types of uses and development standards that do not fully support or incentivize the type and form of development that creates a walkable main street. Also, in 2017 the CC adopted a six-month moratorium on auto-oriented commercial and lodging uses in the TIB study area that do not support the vision. The Council has been renewing the moratorium for the past two and one-half years. It prohibited new uses or the expansion of existing uses that do not support walkability and prevented the investment in uses that may not be allowed in the future. It also allowed staff time to establish new standards and TIB rechannelization designs and allowed time for public review and comment. The current moratorium will expire in July 2020. Therefore, it was necessary to have tonight’s public hearing in order to stay on track before the moratorium expires. The zoning code amendments would replace the moratorium. Uses in the Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) and the Regional Commercial (RC) zoning districts located within the TIB study area would be affected by the amendment. Staff’s Recommendations There are two options proposed for amending Table 18-6 in the zoning code. Option 1 would prohibit outright certain auto-oriented and lodging uses, which is consistent with the moratorium. Staff recommended Option 2, which modifies uses based on draft zoning code changes recommended by CNU to implement the vision. Under Option 1, most existing related uses would become a legal non-conforming use. Under Option 2, most existing related uses would remain a legal use with a potentially non-conforming structure. There are not any changes being proposed to allowable densities, heights, parking standards or other development standards affecting building size or lot design. Staff noted that if the moratorium is not renewed and the proposed zoning code amendments are not adopted, redevelopment could occur that does not support the vision. Future uses and development would continue to be the type of auto-oriented, regional development that currently exists. Staff noted they drafted and added Options 3 and 4 for recommendation for some of the land uses based on additional public comments. Ms. Miranda answered clarifying questions for the Commission. Commissioner Stark asked what would happen if the public hearing was continued to a later date. Staff said a meeting would need to be held in May to complete the zoning code adoption process prior to the moratorium expiration date of July 9, 2020. 20 PC Public Hearing 4/23/20 Page 3 Commissioner Reay inquired whether public outreach was sent out in different languages. Staff stated it was not. She also inquired as to the timeframe for completion of the design guidelines. Staff stated it was uncertain as it needed to follow Council’s decision on adding on-street parking to TIB. Prior to the coronavirus, it was anticipated to occur before the end of the year. Chair Watters inquired as to why the PC were asked to review this item for recommendation to the CC now. Staff said a moratorium may not be renewed indefinitely. Progress must be shown. Further, CC members were not interested in renewing the moratorium, so it is time to move forward and get the zoning code adopted. Chair Watters then asked how the transit-oriented development is affected by the decision being made and additionally the walkability. Staff stated they are not being proposed at this time. Written Public Testimony Lynn Miranda read the written public comments received prior to 5 PM, 4/23/2020, from the following individuals: - Georgina Kerr, Citizen, - Expressed support as recommended by staff. - John McCullough, McCullough Hill Leary, ps. Expressed concerns with the impacts the proposed zoning changes would have on the Sterling Realty Organization (SRO) property and a potential future transit-oriented development in the RC district, and submitted two options to modify staff’s proposals. - Rune Harkestad, McCullough Hill Leary, ps. He is considering purchasing a property north of the TIB Light Rail Station and expressed a desire for the City to move forward with zoning amendments that would allow transit- oriented development (TOD). - Traci Granbois, property owner Submitted two emails raising concerns regarding the necessity and timing of the public hearing and requested reconsideration to the proposed zoning changes in the RC district. Minnie Dhaliwal, Deputy Director, facilitated virtual public testimony. Virtual Public Testimony Whit Hamlin, property owner, SRO, located east of the Rental Car Center said they have been working with DCD for a year on a potential TOD on their property. He shared what their organization has been working on in the interim. He said they are requesting modifications to the proposed zoning code language. Adul Yusef, General Manager for Eastside for Hire, said COVID-19 has changed a lot of things and he wanted to emphasize that with the restrictions of the zoning changes, businesses may not make it after COVID-19. He said this might be the right time to renew the moratorium for six more months so discussions between the community and the PC can take place. He also requested the public 21 PC Public Hearing 4/23/20 Page 4 hearing be cancelled, he said voices are breaking up during the virtual meeting, and they are only able to comment on two of the zoning code changes as they have not heard about Options 3 and 4. Traci Granbois, property owner, said her written public comments were read by staff, but she wanted to emphasize that the public hearing was being held in the middle of a global pandemic . She questioned how much public comment would be received tonight, and whether it was fair to Tukwila citizens. She said to the best of her knowledge she has never received a proposal on any of the changes and learned of them through other property owners. She commented on the duration of the moratorium and said the CC is warranted to not renew again because it will likely cause a lawsuit. She said part of the area recommended for rezone is across the street from the rental car facility, which will always have car usage, and suggested using a scalpel rather than a hatchet. She said there can be room for growth and new development and transit-oriented development while maintaining uses that are associated with the biggest uses in that industry. Jack McCullough, McCullough Hill Leary, said that staff read the written comments that he submitted. He said SRO had concerns regarding the impacts on their property and its ability to pursue the TOD vision. He said in order to pursue the TOD they need to be able to maintain a viable economic use on the property. He said staff presented a new addendum to the staff report, which includes an Option 3 that addresses some of the issues they raised. He said that SRO endorses staff’s recommendation for Option 3. Harman Bual spoke on behalf of Dr. Sidhu who is considering building a hotel in the area. She asked if there would be legislation in the future that would allow modifications to the current height restriction so business owners would be allowed to construct a hotel in the area without requiring 100 rooms, a restaurant and a 24-hour reception if approved. She asked if amended later what would be the steps taken to modify the height restrictions and requirements. Staff said the PC will be considering development standards in the future, and height restrictions will be part of the consideration at that time. Sunny Raj, property owner, said he is planning to construct a franchise hotel, and inquired on whether there are any other standards besides requiring a 100 rooms, a restaurant and a 24-hour reception that would apply to constructing a hotel in the future. Staff said development standards will be revised in the future. There were no additional public comments. Chair Watters gave the Commissioners the opportunity to ask clarifying questions. Commissioner Stark asked Commissioner Watters if the PC would have an opportunity to keep the public hearing open. Commissioner Reay said she was dropped from the virtual meeting and missed some of the public comments, and asked Mr. Hamlin to reiterate his comments. Mr. McCullough spoke on behalf of Mr. Hamlin, he said they were in constant communication with staff and they received an addendum to the staff report that he presumed the PC also received. He said SRO was supporting Option 3. Ms. Reay also called attention to Mr. Yusef noting in the Microsoft Teams chat bar that he never received the notice. 22 PC Public Hearing 4/23/20 Page 5 Ms. Miranda noted that she emailed the public notice to Mr. Yusef prior to the public hearing. Chair Watters asked staff to clarify how to proceed since the addendum including Options 3 and 4 was not seen by everyone prior to the public hearing. Staff suggested leaving the public hearing open until after staff walked through the 10 proposed land use changes and explained the options for each one. The PC deliberated and the public were given an opportunity to comment. Ms. Miranda gave an overview of the following land use modifications: 1. Automobile, recreational vehicles or travel trailer or used car sales lots (no dismantling of cars or travel trailers or sale of used parts). Staff’s recommendation in the PC packet was Option 2, but after receiving additional public comments they developed and recommended Option 4 as listed in the PC packet addendum (exempts all uses on properties of south SR518 from an enclosed showroom). 2. Rental of vehicles not requiring a commercial driver’s license. Staff’s recommendation in the PC packet was Option 2, but after receiving additional public comments they developed and recommended Option 3 as listed in the PC packet addendum (exempts enclosed showrooms on parcels larger than nine acres in the RC zone, such as the SRO property). 3. Automotive services, gas (outside pumps allowed), washing, body and engine repair shops (enclosed within a building), and alternate fueling station (not wholesale distribution facilities). Staff’s recommendation in the PC packet was Option 2, but after receiving additional public comments they developed and recommended Option 3 as listed in the PC packet addendum (allows outdoor storage of vehicles on parcels larger than nine acres in the RC zone south of SR518). 4. Commercial parking (a use of land or structure for the parking of motor vehicles as a commercial enterprise for which hourly, daily, or weekly fees are charged) (TMC 18.06.613). Staff recommended Option 2 as listed in the PC packet. 5. Extended-stay hotel/motel - Staff recommended Option 2 as listed in the PC packet. Commissioner Mann said she is uncomfortable with this change without more clarification on what qualifies as a restaurant. 6. Hotels - Staff recommended Option 2 as listed in the PC packet. 7. Motels - Staff recommended either Option 1 or 2 as listed in the PC packet. 8. Restaurants including drive through, sit down, cocktail lounges in conjunction with a restaurant. Staff recommended Option 2 as listed in the PC packet. 9. Retail sales, e.g. health/beauty aids/prescription drugs/food/hardware/notions/ crafts/supplies/housewares/electronics/photo-equip/film processing/ books/magazines/stationery/ 23 PC Public Hearing 4/23/20 Page 6 clothing/shoes/flowers/plants/pets/jewelry/gifts/rec. equipment/sporting goods, and similar items. Staff recommended Option 2 as listed in the PC packet. 10. Financial, banking, mortgage, other services. Staff recommended Option 2 as listed in the PC packet. Ms. Dhaliwal called names of the public that previously testified to allow them the opportunity to comment on new information. Traci Granbois asked how someone would have known about Options 3 and 4 if they were not with SRO. She said the website only listed Options 1 and 2. She also asked if CC had reviewed Options 3 and 4. Staff said Options 3 and 4 were exhibits added after receiving written public comments. This is typical procedure so that the PC is then able to address them during the public hearing process. The City Attorney will review all amendments prior to the ordinance. Ricardo Frazer asked what will happen to the non-conforming hotel on the site, which Ms. Miranda addressed. Abdul Yusef said there is a big disconnect, he said he heard about the public hearing two hours prior to it starting, and he reached out to minority businesses in his neighborhood who had not heard about the public hearing. He said they never received the notice and had no idea about the changes. He stated he is concerned that huge changes are being made to their businesses and they need time to communicate and gave their comments, he would like time to be given to the business owners. There were no additional public comments. Chair Watters closed the public hearing, then reopened the public hearing. The Commissioners were in consensus that the public hearing be continued to May 28th and understand there may need to be another virtual meeting. In addition to placing a notice in the Seattle Times and emailing businesses and interested parties, staff will provide post card notification to business owners, although businesses are closed. Commissioner Simmons asked Mr. Yusef for the name of his business, as well as the name of the other businesses that would be impacted by the changes. Mr. Yusef said the name of his business is Eastside for Hire and noted three other auto-related businesses in the area. Commissioner Strander said the addendum received prior to the public hearing was not published in the packet and so the public hearing should be continued so the public has a chance to respond. She asked for staff’s response on the email regarding holding a virtual meeting. Staff said the City Attorney confirmed a virtual meeting is in compliance with the Governor’s order. Commissioner Mann said considering that people are saying they did not receive notice and four businesses are being impacted by a major decision, she thinks the meeting should be continued. 24 PC Public Hearing 4/23/20 Page 7 Commissioner Martinez said Mr. Yusef and staff are correct regarding the importance and impact of this meeting. He said there are language barriers and that the information needs to be conveyed to the community/businesses. He requested an email from the City Attorney indicating it is proper to hold the virtual meeting. He said the public hearing should be left open so the public may provide comments. Commissioner Stark expressed concerns about holding this meeting and agreed the meeting needs to be continued. She requested that staff clean up the packet and reissue, and that proper steps be taken for the public to attend the hearing. She said given the circumstances she is proposing an additional meeting(s) in May. Commissioner Reay had a follow up question for Ms. Granbois, who appeared to have left the call. She asked staff what the process would be if an in-person public hearing cannot be held in May, would there be another virtual meeting, and inquired about timeframe. Staff said in order to meet the deadline that a public hearing must be held in May. Commissioner Reay said she appreciates the effort that staff made to notify the businesses, but part of the outreach issue was compounded by some businesses being closed. She did not have any questions for staff regarding the recommendations. She thinks the public hearing should remain open because of the situation and for equity, with the understanding there would have to be another virtual meeting. Commissioner Simmons suggested leaving the public hearing open because of the impacts already seen on small business and COVID-19. She noted that over communication may be necessary because there was such a large issue in the past where people did not feel like they were i ncluded in the public process. Commissioner Watters said this is an important issue and it is impactful on the community. Further, the moratorium has been extended for a long time. She said it makes sense to continue the hearing because of challenges with language barriers and businesses being closed. She said she appreciates staff’s efforts and requested that staff elaborate on outreach efforts and asked to hear more about targeted outreach considering the COVID-19 situation. She hopes to hold the continuation in May and mentioned that receiving addendums at the last minute is part of the public hearing processes. Although it does make it hard sometimes, she said they do review options with a scalpel instead of a hatchet, and it does require two meetings on occasion. Commissioner Strander asked for clarifying questions on land use items 4 and 8. Commissioner Mann asked clarifying questions and provided comments for staff on items 5, and 6. She was interested in a full-service hotel and suggested further definition as to what qualifies as a restaurant. She expressed interest in allowing drive-through food establishments in the NCC zone, such as a coffee shop for item 8. Commissioner Martinez expressed concern with the recommendation in item 2 for Option 3 and would like for the City Attorney to review that as well as item 3. Commissioner Simmons said several of her issues were addressed but expressed concern with the new drive-through restaurants being eliminated. She said to keep in mind it is important that TIB service everyone in Tukwila and that some people rely on cars. 25 PC Public Hearing 4/23/20 Page 8 Commissioner Stark inquired whether there is any economic development study or plan other than the CNU study? She also said she agrees with Commissioner Simmons regarding the drive-through. Commissioner Reay commented that TOD is amazing for economic development and very important pre-COVID-19 and said it will be necessary to be nimble and flexible with economic development because things are going to change. She also inquired whether on-street parking will be possible. Commissioner Watters reiterated the need for extra notification and to find some key help for outreach. She said she was glad Option 4 was added. She inquired whether the recommendation for item 2 should be another Option 4. She expressed concern with the six-month timeframe for non- conforming uses and recommended extending it due to COVID-19. She also suggested staff provide more history on the CNU workshop. Director’s Report - Staff provided status on the Bellwether trees. Action Item - Commissioner Martinez requested that staff send the plans they approved as part of the design review to the Commissioners. - Staff provided status on how staff is working remotely and maintaining a virtual permit center. - Staff provided information about Sound Transit’s I-405 BRT project. Adjourned - 9:45pm Submitted by: Wynetta Bivens Planning Commission Secretary Adopted: 7/23/20 26 CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING COMMISSION (PC) PUBLIC HEARING MINUTES Date: October 22, 2020 Time: 6:30 PM Location: Virtual meeting via Microsoft Teams Present: Vice Chair Louise Strander; Commissioners Dennis Martinez, Sharon Mann, Karen Simmons, Dixie Stark, and Andrea Reay Absent: Chair Heidi Watters Staff: Department of Community Development (DCD) Deputy Director Minnie Dhaliwal, Planning Supervisor Lynn Miranda and Planning Commission Secretary Wynetta Bivens Protocol: Minnie Dhaliwal explained the protocol for the virtual meeting. She also went over the purpose of the continuation. Agenda: Continuance of the April 23, 2020 Public Hearing on Zoning Code Amendments. Adopt Commissioner Mann disclosed that she received an email from Greg Minutes: and Vanessa Zaputil regarding corrections to two of the three motions in the 9/24/20 minutes. Commissioner Mann moved that the recorded minutes be reviewed, and the minutes be adopted at the next meeting. Commissioner Stark abstained due to absence on 9/24/20. Commissioner Martinez seconded the motion. Motion passed. Upon review of the recording, the two motions were revised to verbatim motions. Vice-Chair Strander opened the public hearing for: CASE NUMBER: L20-0015 PURPOSE: Consider zoning code amendments restricting or prohibiting certain auto- oriented and lodging uses currently prohibited by Ordinance 2620, to implement the Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB) element of the Comprehensive Plan. LOCATION: Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) and Regional Commercial (RC) zones in the TIB study area Lynn Miranda, Planning Supervisor, DCD, gave the presentation for staff. She said the intent of the public hearing is for the PC to continue deliberations on the April 23 public hearing on the amendments to Table 18-6, Land Uses allowed in the NCC and RC zoning districts in the TIB study area to replace the need to renew the moratorium on auto-related services and lodging uses. This will ensure that future development in the TIB area is consistent with and supports a walkable TIB District as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. 27 PC Public Hearing 10/22/20 Page 2 She said in April there were some concerns about the difficulty regarding providing notice of the hearing to the public during the pandemic. She said for tonight’s virtual hearing and virtual on- line open house held on October 20th staff put extra effort into notification. The code requires notification of occupants and property owners within 500 ft. and to publish notice in the newspaper, which was done. Additionally, 11,300 post cards were mailed to all existing businesses, residents, and property owners located in the City excluding Southcenter, Tukwila South and properties located in the Manufacturing Industrial Center (MIC) zone which is mainly Boeing. Emails were sent with post cards attached to a list of 337 interested parties with a sentence in five different languages that said, “this information is very important to your community please ask someone to translate for you.” She noted that an earlier incorrect draft of the postcard was put in the staff report, but she assured the Commission that the correct postcard was mailed out. Staff also hand delivered notification flyers to all the business in the RC and NCC zoning district in the TIB study area on Thursday October 15th. She explained the intent of the open house was to answer questions on the interim proposed changes so that people could be well prepared for tonight’s hearing and the upcoming City Council public hearing. Four people attended the open house and one person had difficultly joining but staff was able to help her successfully participate on-line. She provided a brief overview of items covered in April. She talked about what planning efforts have been happening in the TIB area to date, the kinds of changes the City has been proposing to the City’s zoning code and why. In 2015, the City Council adopted a 20-year vision for the area that called for transforming the TIB from a highway serving regional traffic to more of a walkable main street with businesses serving the residences located nearby. The long-term vision also called for new houses and commercial uses at more urban density within walking distance of the TIB Light Rail Station. In 2017, the City, in partnership with the Congress New Urbanism (CNU), held a 3-day community workshop on how to make the vision happen. There were two key actions recommended to the City Council after the workshop, 1) the rechannalization of TIB to add on- street parking and bike lanes to slow down traffic and improve safety for all uses and to provide parking for businesses by their front door, and 2) update the zoning standards code to attract and support the types of new development that create a walkable main street. In 2017, the Council adopted a moratorium that prohibited any new auto oriented and lodging uses or expansion of the existing uses so the type of development wouldn’t occur that would conflict with the vision for TIB safe and walkable main street. Explanation was provided of other intents of the moratorium. Ordinance 2620 was renewed by Council in July , and the PC recommendations on the interim zoning code amendments are needed now for the Council to adopt them prior to expiration of the current moratorium in January 2021. Staff’s Recommendations A walkthrough was provided of staff’s recommended changes to the land use table, which are listed on page 17 of the October 17, 2020 staff report. It was noted that no changes are being proposed for the allowable densities, heights, parking standards or other development standards affecting building size or lot design, which will be brought to PC and City Council at a later date. 28 PC Public Hearing 10/22/20 Page 3 The PC asked clarifying questions. Written Public Testimony Lynn Miranda read the written public comments received prior to 5 PM, on 10/22/20 from the following individuals: - Jimmy K - Brian Kennedy - Rune Harkestad - John McCullough, McCullough Hill Leary, ps., for Sterling Realty Organization (SRO) Minnie Dhaliwal, Deputy Director, facilitated virtual public testimony. Virtual Public Testimony Adul Yusef, General Manager, Eastside for Hire, thanked the Commission for their service and staff for taking note and doing a good job with outreach for this hearing, and for the continuation of the April 23rd public hearing. He said in April they were in support of the TIB changes taking place and even though they were not aware of the moratorium they would have not opposed it. He said the COVID virus caused a lot of change to their business, and they are 90% down. Therefore, they rented out their shop for auto repair, and at the time were not aware of the moratorium. He said he met with David Cline the City Administrator and Jack Pace, and they tried to help but were unable to because of the moratorium. He said they told him about tonight’s hearing, where he could address the issue. He requested temporary use of their property for auto repairs for a couple of years, which he said they cannot do under the current code. He asked for a chance to mitigate the problem while things are coming back from COVID. He asked the Commission to take that into consideration. He said that the City Administration have shown them tremendous respect and looked into every possible way that they could accommodate them. He said nobody could have anticipated that the world would change this much, and that they would need to use the property for auto repair. He asked the Commission to take note when making their recommendations to the City Council and to accommodate their needs because the moratorium was not designed to punish those businesses there but to make the community and TIB better. Traci Granbois said she encourages the commission to support the alternative proposal and allow existing uses of the businesses to continue. Chris Vandyke, Eastside for Hire, Assistant General Manager, said he wanted to echo Adul Yusef’s comments and underscore that businesses have been entirely turned upside down as of the Governor’s stay at home order on March 13 or 15. He said they have taken a body blow and they don’t know how much time it will take to recover, to put them back in the position where the long range plans for the company are back in place. He said they are the largest minority 29 PC Public Hearing 10/22/20 Page 4 owned business on the west coast with about 600 drivers and they are completely shut down. He said they are scrambling for things to get better and they need time to get back on track. He said however the Commission decides to go forward they need flexibility in the grandfathering of existing uses. He said there is a legal dispute issue regarding whether the repair shop has been in use continually. He said they would like to continue in the use for a limited time period so the City can continue with its long use plan. And that COVID has upset their plans and makes it much less possible to not just accommodate the plan for the district improvements but to be a cooperative part of the plan. There were no additional public comments. Vice-Chair Strander gave the Commissioners the opportunity to ask clarifying questions. PC Questions / Comments See the attached table for a detailed list of comments, and questions the PC requested that staff return with answers. Vice-Chair Strander closed the public hearing. A meeting was scheduled for November 5th, and at that time staff will provide the Commission with answers to their questions. Then the PC will deliberate on the amendment proposals before them.

Adopt: Commissioner Watters moved to adopt the 9/24/20 minutes as amended Minutes: Commissioner Martinez seconded the motion. Motion passed. Commissioner Strander moved to adopt the 10-22-20 minutes. Commissioner Martinez seconded the motion. Commissioner Watters abstained; she did not attend the meeting. Motion passed. Chair Watters opened the public hearing for: CASE NUMBER: L20-0015 PURPOSE: Consider zoning code amendments restricting or prohibiting certain auto-oriented and lodging uses currently prohibited by Ordinance 2620, to implement the Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB) element of the Comprehensive Plan. LOCATION: Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) and Regional Commercial (RC) zones in the TIB study area Lynn Miranda, Planning Supervisor, DCD, explained the intent of the meeting and noted the following: • In addendum #3 of the staff report are staff’s responses to the questions, comments and suggested modifications made at the October 22nd PC public hearing, in Attachment A. • The latest proposed modifications are included in Attachment B. • The staff recommendations in the October 22nd packet were revised based on the PC directions and suggestions. The PC will deliberate on those revisions. Ms. Miranda gave a brief review on each of the following land uses, amendments and staff’s proposed recommendations, prior to PC deliberations. She also answered clarifying questions for the Commission. 33 PC Public Hearing 11/5/20 age 2 DELIBERATIONS: 1. Automobile, recreational vehicles or travel trailer or used car sales lots (no dismantling of cars or travel trailers or sale of used parts allowed. Commissioner Strander asked, how the requirement of an enclosed showroom for vehicles would work if someone wants to test drive a vehicle? And isn’t it like a parking lot with a roof? Staff responded there would be a showroom, and one or two cars outside or stored in a different area for test driving. Commissioner Strander read language from the moratorium ordinance 2620 and said based on that language she does not support any of the recommendations, she supports leaving it like it is. Commissioner Martinez asked, will pre-existing legal auto businesses be grandfathered in if ownership changes? He asked if the owner will be allowed to sell? Staff said nothing would change with the change of ownership, the use is not non-conforming and it can continue if sold. Commissioner Martinez said he does not feel comfortable with the showroom. He said it would be an additional financial burden on whoever buys the property; and small business owners will not be able to compete with high end markets. He said it should stay the same. Commissioner Simmons asked whether there are currently dealerships on TIB north of SR-518? She said she is not opposed to the enclosed showroom, and from a visual perspective new lots would have a cleaner look. Commissioner Watters said she is in favor of staff’s recommendation #5; she feels staff did a good job striking a good balance between allowing mom and pop shops to continue to operate and to be able to sell their business. She said it could potentially increase the value of businesses. And that she appreciated Commissioners Martinez and Simmons comments. Motion #1:Commissioner Watters made a motion to forward to the City Council Option 5 for category #1auto sales as noted in the 11/5/20 staff report. Commissioner Simmons seconded the motion. Commissioners Strander and Martinez opposed. Commissioners Watters and Simmons were in favor. 2. Rental of vehicles not requiring a commercial driver’s license. Commissioner Strander asked how an enclosed showroom would work with rental vehicles? Staff responded that people would get transported to a car or it is brought to them. Commissioner Strander said she does not support any of the options and will vote no. Commissioner Simmons gave an example of places that do not have the cars on-site but instead bring them from another location to the counter. She said she likes the language, and she agrees with the enclosed showroom. Commissioner Watters said the proposed language strikes a good balance, and it brings value to the community and the neighborhood, so she is in support. 34 PC Public Hearing 11/5/20 age 3 Commissioner Martinez said he believes the area is over saturated with car rentals businesses. He expressed concern with the motion for auto sales for small business car sale owners. He said a walkable community will provide a valuable service to new residents and immigrants. He said he does not see car rentals as a big deal, and he does not see small businesses wanting to spend millions of dollars to build a showroom in that area. He said they could have something else there. Commissioner Simmons said she agrees with Commissioner Martinez regarding small businesses having access to an alternative auto market, but she thinks they are moving in the right direction by requiring showrooms. Motion #2: Commissioner Watters made a motion to forward to the City Council Option 5 for category #2-rental vehicles as noted in the 11/5/20 staff report. Commissioner Simmons seconded the motion. Commissioner Strander opposed. Commissioner Martinez abstained from voting. Commissioner Watters and Simmons were in favor. 3. Automotive services, gas (outside pumps allowed), washing, body and engine repair shops(enclosed within a building), and alternative fueling station (not wholesale distribution facilities) Note: the Fire Marshall approved language added regarding “must comply with fire code” language in the 11/5 staff report. Commissioner Strander asked if the TIB is designated a principle arterial, and as a principle arterial does it need to be a certain size? She said they are being asked to look at zoning codes based on walkability and a principal arterial means something else. She said she is not comfortable putting the gas pumps in the back based on walkability. She also asked when is the rechannelization going to happen? She said she does not support any of the options and likes it the way it is. Staff responded that the vision and Comprehensive Plan is a long term, 20-year vision and we’re trying to make the changes incrementally. Note: Commissioner Stander later stated that she read in the code it was considered a principle arterial. Commissioner Watters said whatever classification is in the code that it was taken into account during the comprehensive planning process and the PC were given direction. Commissioner Martinez said he is frustrated with the elected officials not moving forward with this. He said they are building a bridge and do not have the foundation, and he has mixed feelings. He said he wishes they could figure out what they need to do, the big piece has not been addressed and he is not comfortable voting on this when the major stuff has not been taken care of. Commissioner Watters said she can appreciate that this is a big change and it may take a while to get through the processes and that’s why it is important to keep the ball moving so they can be part of the change. She feels good moving it forward and thinks they have done so much with the public who complimented staff’s outreach efforts last time. She feels like it is a success in the community and the Comprehensive Plan focuses on the wellbeing of the community. The Comprehensive Plan is already adopted and calls for a walkable area. She is in support of this and thinks the City has given them a mandate to do this and thinks it is good to do gradually over time. 35 PC Public Hearing 11/5/20 age 4 Motion: #3 Commissioner Watters made a motion to forward to the City Council for category #3- Automotive services, gas (outside pumps allowed), etc. as amended in the 11/5/20 staff report. Commissioner Simmons seconded the motion. Commissioner Strander opposed. Commissioner Martinez abstained from voting. Commissioners Watters and Simmons were in favor. 4. Commercial parking (Commercial parking is a use of land or structure for the parking of motor vehicles as a commercial enterprise for which hourly, daily, or weekly fees are charged (TMC 18.06.613) Commissioner Strander asked staff about the question raised at the last meeting regarding the 175 ft. parcel depth along TIB. Staff said the parcel depth ranges from 80 ft. to 465 ft. in depth along the corridor. The policy choice of 175 ft. was to discourage airport parking along TIB, staff recommended no change. Commissioner Martinez asked for a breakdown of the 80 ft. to 465 ft. lots, how many are there and where are they located? He requested to see a map of how many lots are 175 ft. in depth, he said he is not comfortable approving it without the info. He said he asked for this information at the last meeting and this info should have been easy to provide. Staff pulled up a map during the meeting to show that the lot pattern and depth varied up and down the corridor. Commissioner Martinez wanted to know the average lot size, and the number of lots that currently exist in the high traffic area that are a minimum of 175 ft. Commissioner Watters said since the Comprehensive Plan has already been established it makes sense, and other options are provided to offer some flexibility. Commissioner Strander said for the record the Light Rail Station parking is permitted and if there were to be another parking lot across the street would it be permitted? Commissioner Martinez asked if Sound Transit parking lots were considered commercial parking or non- profit parking? Staff said they are an accessory to an existing permitted use. Commissioner Strander asked if they were expanded in any way would it be acceptable. Staff said additional parking for light rail is subject to the Unclassified Use permit for the station. Motion: #4 Commissioner Watters made a motion to forward to the City Council for category #4- Commercial parking, etc. as amended and recommended in the 11/5/20 staff report. Commissioner Simmons seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 5. Extended-stay hotel/motel Motion: #5 Commissioner Watters made a motion to forward to the City Council for category #5- Extended-stay hotel/motel option #3 amended from a 100 unit minimum to a 90 unit minimum and to strike the word motel from the land use table recommended in the 11/5/20 staff report. Commissioner Martinez seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 36 PC Public Hearing 11/5/20 age 5 6. Hotels Motion: #6 Commissioner Watters made a motion to forward to the City Council for category #6- Hotel as amended from a 100 unit minimum to a 90 unit minimum as recommended in the 11/5/20 staff report. Commissioner Strander seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 7. Motels Motion: #7 Commissioner Strander made a motion to forward to the City Council for category #7- Motels option 1 and 2 as recommended in the 11/5/20 staff report. Commissioner Martinez seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 8. Restaurants including drive through, sit down, cocktail lounges in conjunction with a restaurant. Commissioner Strander asked how many drive through restaurants are currently in the NCC? What would happen with the existing restaurants under staff’s recommendation? What would happen if the restaurant were not open for six months? She also asked if any kind of restaurants with drive throughs would be permitted in the NCC? (Staff said there are 2 drive throughs in the NCC; restaurants without drive-throughs would be permitted; staff said the existing restaurants would stay as is unless they wanted to expand; and if the restaurant is not open for six month it would not change. Commissioner Strander said she supports leaving the drive throughs as permitted, and she also thinks drive throughs in the NCC should be permitted. Commissioner Martinez said at the last meeting he had concerns regarding the lack of drive throughs in the NCC. He said having a drive through restaurant would help the small minority businesses. He said we should have drive throughs to give small minority owned businesses an opportunity to succeed in an area that is going to be developed (Wadajir development). He said he cannot support it without modifying the NCC drive through requirements. Commissioner Simmons thanked staff for adding the language on the drive through to direct the traffic away from TIB onto a side street. She said from a walkability perspective it really adds value to the flow of the traffic on the sidewalk. Commissioner Watters is in support. She said there are other locations in the City where those uses can happen and in order to fulfill the Comprehensive Plan it makes sense to prohibit drive throughs in this manner. Staff noted that they wanted to clarify that in the RC drive throughs are allowed but they must be behind the building. Currently drive throughs are not allowed in the NCC, which will stay as is with staff’s recommendation. Commissioner Strander asked what if a drive through restaurant does not have the option to exit to another street, but only have access from TIB? Staff said the language states they will only have to exit to another street if it is feasible, such as being located on a corner. 37 PC Public Hearing 11/5/20 age 6 Motion: #8 Commissioner Watters made a motion to forward to the City Council staff’s recommendation for category #8 for restaurants including drive through, sit down, cocktail lounges in conjunction with a restaurant. as noted in the 11/5/20 staff report. Commissioner Simmons seconded the motion. Commissioners Watters and Simmons were in favor, Commissioners Strander and Martinez were opposed. 9. Retail sales, e.g. health/beauty aids/prescription drugs/food/hardware/notions/crafts/supplies/housewares/electronics/photo-equip/film processing/books/magazines/stationery/clothing/shoes/flowers/plants/pets/jewelry/gifts/rec.equip/ sporting goods, and similar items. Commissioner Strander asked how many businesses currently in the TIB area are affected by this category? Staff said approximately eight businesses are affected, but they do not need to comply at this point, it is the new businesses that need to comply (Staff correction – there is only one retail business with a drive-through – Walgreen’s Pharmacy). Motion: #9Commissioner Simmons made a motion to forward to the City Council for use category #9 for retail sales,e.g.health/beautyaids/prescriptiondrugs/food/hardware/notions/crafts/supplies/housewares/e lectronics/photo-equip/film processing/books/magazines/stationery/clothing/shoes/flowers/plants/pets/jewe lry/gifts/rec.equip/ sporting goods, and similar items, as recommended by staff in the 11/5/20 staff report. Commissioner Watters seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. 10. Financial, banking, mortgage, other services. Commissioner Strander asked how many businesses currently in the TIB area are affected by this category? Staff said four businesses are affected (Staff correction – there is only one business with a drive-through – Key Bank). Motion: #10 Commissioner Simmons made a motion to forward to the City Council for category #10 financial, banking, mortgage, other services as recommended by staff in the 11/5/20 staff report. Commissioner Watters seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. 11. Pawnbroker and payday lenders. (There was extensive discussion on this added item) Staff said these land uses are not listed as prohibited uses in the moratorium but were specifically added to the list of proposed land uses modifications based on the PC recommendation at the 10/22/20 public hearing. The Commissioners felt that these uses do not add value to the neighborhood and that they should be prohibited. (See the land use table in the 11/5/20 staff report for additional detailed information.) Commissioner Strander said she supports this category; she asked since it was added after the public hearing and the public did not get a chance to weigh in on this, is it appropriate to add now? Staff said they believe it is okay to add it now, and that the public would still have an opportunity to comment on it at the Committee of the Whole (COW) public hearing in a few 38 PC Public Hearing 11/5/20 age 7 weeks. Commissioner Strander reiterated that she is in support, but she would have liked for the public to weigh in on this the same as they did on the other 10 categories discussed. She said she is not comfortable approving this because it was not part of the originally packet, and it was added after the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Martinez said he was also in favor of this, but as Commissioner Strander said it was added after the public hearing was closed. He asked staff when they notified all the parties involved in the meeting last month if they notified them about this proposed change? Staff said they did not specify that in the notice that was sent out but there was a link to the staff report included with all the details including the other amendments PC directed be made. He said he supports one hundred percent what they are trying to do, but that he had some concerns, and he is not in favor of the process tonight. Staff provided additional information on the process. Staff said the discussion took place on this topic during deliberations in a public format and those in attendance heard the PC discussion and concerns about this issue. Staff said in terms of getting public input when the public is notified, they are not notified of every single detail and code change. They are told about what is being considered and if they participate in the meeting then they can learn about the changes. Staff said the PC add value through their discussion and deliberation and may want to add to changes being considered, which has always been the case with all code amendments. Staff starts with a recommendation and the PC builds off that.Public outreach is donegivens on the topic, not every detail. And it is to be expected through that process that things can evolve and change from what staff brings forth to the PC. Commissioner Strander said she understands but this is an additional item that the public did not get to discuss. She said she may be in favor of this, but she will not approve it because it was not part of the original public hearing where someone may have participated because of this item. Commissioner Simmons said she could understand the apprehension on including this item, but personally she feels strongly about including this because it is so predatory upon the community. And if this is an item that will be reviewed further at the COW public hearing where feedback can be provided, she does not have an issue including the pawnbrokers and payday lenders. Commissioner Watters said she appreciated the discussion on how to go about topics, processes, staff’s perspective, and them adding additional information. She said if every single minutiae of topic had to be preconceived and sent on a flyer then government would grind to a halt and it would not be possible to get anything done. She said the fact the public were able to hear about it, and when Council hears about it that will be the third time and they can take action to discuss it further if they wish. She said because they are all in favor, she would encourage them to support it because that way the Council will talk about it. If they do not forward a recommendation, then it will not be on the list and Council probably will not talk about this. She said she thinks this is a great way to move the process forward and give the community a chance to discuss it, so she is in favor. Commissioner Strander said she does agree that this change should happen, but she has an issue with the process and because of that she will not approve. 39 PC Public Hearing 11/5/20 age 8 Motion: #11 Commissioner Watters made a motion to forward to the City Council the additional category #11, pawnbrokers and payday loans as amended in the 11/5/20 staff report with staff’s recommendation. Commissioner Simmons seconded the motion. Commissioners Watters and Simmons were in favor. Commissioner Strander opposed. Commissioner Martinez abstained from voting. Staff noted that tonight’s meeting was to consider all the public testimony received, and the PC has concluded deliberations on each one. Staff said they appreciate everyone’s hard work and participation, the community’s input and the Planning Commission’s thoughts and process, and it will be a better product because they have deliberated and thought through each item. They also said they valued everyone’s input. Next steps: • Staff will forward the PC recommendations to City Council for final decision. • If everything precedes as planned the COW will hold a public hearing on November 23rd, at 7:00 p.m. • There will be a City Council public hearing on December 7th, at 7:00 p.m. and they will adopt their recommendations.

The Property is the home to the Avis Car Rental service facility and Shuttlepark airport parking. SRO has been working cooperatively with the City and Sound Transit on a vision for a transit-oriented development on the Property, linked to the nearby light rail and future BRT station with a pedestrian bridge over SR-518. With such a pedestrian connection in place, the Property becomes an ideal location for a high-density, mixed-use development, which would anchor the southern end of the City’s TIB subarea. But the ability of SRO to pursue this TOD vision depends critically on the continuation of productive economic uses on the Property. The cost of planning and development of a future TOD project on the Property will run into the millions of dollars and will need to be phased over a period of years. If productive uses cannot continue on the Property, then the viability of the TOD vision will be severely jeopardized. The current uses on the Property – automotive services, automobile sales and car rental for Avis, and commercial parking for Shuttlepark – would be rendered nonconforming by the Proposed Ordinance. Under the City’s Code, a mere six-month lapse in use of these nonconforming uses could terminate them. We do not know what the post-COVID world will look like, but airport car rental-related activities and airport parking are certainly two uses that are most at risk. SRO is highly concerned that if COVID effects cause such a lapse in use, the Proposed Ordinance will have the unintended effect of terminating the economic use of the Property. If that happens, then the TOD vision for the Property may be a disappearing dream. 42 The Property is unique in the TIB subarea, in its size and location. It is geographically isolated from the rest of the subarea, it is the largest parcel in the subarea, and it is adjacent to high-impact transportation corridors on two sides. Unlike other sites in the TIB subarea, the continuation of auto- oriented uses on the Property does not pose a land use risk to the redevelopment vision for the corridor. To the contrary, continuation of current uses on the Property is critical to keeping the TOD vision for this site alive. Therefore, we are suggesting options for amendment of the Proposed Ordinance to address this issue. Each of these options recognizes that the Property is a unique asset with unique conditions in the TIB subarea, and allows for continuation of existing uses to help support the implementation of the TIB vision for the Property. SRO believes that Option 1 should be the preferred option: it is simpler to administer. But in either case, SRO will continue to work closely with the City on the long-term TOD vision for the Property. This TOD process will lead to future zoning amendments for the Property and the subarea, as indicated in the Planning Commission work program. If other steps need to be taken to address existing uses on the Property, they should occur in that process, in the context of the long- term vision for the site. In the meantime, it would be a mistake to let area-wide use restrictions in the Proposed Ordinance to create an obstacle to future TOD development of the Property. We urge you to recommend one of the options set forth in Attachment A, in order to keep this TOD vision alive. Sincerely, McCULLOUGH HILL LEARY, PS John C.

I represent an entity which currently is under contract to purchase approx.. 1.6 acre of mostly vacant land located at 14816 TIB (the Steinberg Property) which is approx.. 1/3 of a mile North of the Light Rail Station. While I do not know the demand for the uses subject to the zoning changes in general, I can state with 100% certainty that none of the uses (automobile services, gas, car wash, drive thru, motel, etc.) to be discussed at the Planning Commission Meeting on 4/23 are contemplated uses for a redevelopment of the Steinberg Property. As evidenced by the regional shortage of housing units (I have read estimated at 160,000 units for the Puget Sound Region), by far the highest and best use for the Steinberg Property is housing, and lots of it. The proximity to Light Rail makes all of the parcels between the Light Rail Station and Tukwila Village (identified on the City’s web page as within walking distance to Light Rail) of even greater importance for housing. Unfortunately, the current RC zoning falls far short of allowing the potential for housing units typically seen in close proximity to Light Rail Station. I.e. the Steinberg Property only allows for approx.. 35 units while we have received site plan approval from the City of SeaTac for 117 units on a similar size site, directly across the Tukwila Justice Center currently under construction. I strongly urge the City, and the Planning Commission to move as quickly as possible on to the most important phase, which is to adapt zoning similar to what other jurisdictions have enacted around the Light Rail Stations, i.e. Spring District in Bellevue, Northgate in Seattle, or SeaTac for that matter (although they still have some zoning issues to work out which I understand will be addressed this year). Thank you.

As you are likely aware, Governor Jay Inslee has suspended certain in-person requirements under the OPMA. But there are restrictions on when action can be taken. Pursuant to the order, agencies may only conduct meetings that can be attended remotely (both by the public and the governing body) and may only take “action,” as defined in RCW 42.30.020, on matters that are either (1) necessary and routine, or (2) necessary to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak and the current public health emergency. All other matters must be postponed until regular meetings may resume that are in full compliance with the OPMA. Remote/virtual meetings may take place as long as they are regular meetings dealing with routine items only. More information can be found here: http://mrsc.org/Home/Stay-Informed/MRSC- Insight/March-2020/Governor-Issues-Proclamation_20-28.aspx I was hoping that you would provide Information on how the content of Tukwila’s 4.23.20 Planning Commission meeting is: 1. Necessary and routine and/or 2. Necessary to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak and the current public health emergency. You likely are aware that the vast majority of cities have canceled all commission meetings until at least May. Please see Cities of SeaTac, Burien, Issaquah, Bellevue, Mercer Island. I look forward to hearing from you.

Please find them below. Thank you, Traci Granbois Traci Granbois 15858 International Boulevard, Tukwila, WA The City of Tukwila is holding a public hearing during the first global pandemic in the past 100+ years. Please allow the gravity of that statement to sink in. You are holding a meeting which has the potential to negatively affect private property rights during the middle of an unprecedented public health emergency. You have had a moratorium on property in this zone for over 4 years. FOUR YEARS! This in itself is another unprecedented phenomenon. Would you describe “four years” as “reasonable” and “for a limited period of time”? The timing of this meeting is unfortunate and gives the impression that the City of Tukwila is attempting to slip a fast one past citizens who have served your community for 25+ years. In regards to the substance of your meeting…the southern portion of the TIB study area is located directly across the street from our region’s Rental Car facility which services the Seattle-Tacoma Airport – the powerhouse money/jobs generator in this area. The Port built this facility at much expense for the benefit of all citizens. It is obvious that uses around this Rental Car facility will be related to…cars! It is unreasonable to disallow outdoor storage of automobiles – this will have an extremely negative effect on businesses affiliated with the main industry on IB, namely the airport & rental car facility. Spot zoning. This potential zoning change appears to be an illegal spot zone – with only one car sales location noted on Attachment A, it appears that one specific business is being targeted. In summary, I ask this committee to slow down and truly consider whether holding a public hearing during the middle of the Corona pandemic is truly in the best interest of the citizens. I then ask this committee to reconsider banning outdoor storage of automobiles on properties located on International Boulevard.

In the '70's and 80's, when I was younger, I loved to dance at King's and Montana's. My friends and I would go to The Derby, Trudy's and The White Shutters for an occasional drink and maybe a game of pool. Then, things got tougher… hookers, guns etc. The bars and dance clubs all left. Larry's Market was a nice place to go. The new Justice Center / City Hall and Library have spruced up the area. Many of the motels were drug and prostitution ridden; they don't deserve a second chance. We should have nice hotels like at the airport. The Marriot has a nice brunch, Red Lion had a nice place to dance, Gregory's, 13 Coins and other hotel restaurant's are fun to visit once in awhile. Tukwila has a chance to clean up and create more classy and inviting businesses on 99. I realize that here are some lower income business owners, but that doesn't mean that the boulevard has to exist in dereliction and crime. These businesses can be considered when revitalizing Tukwila. Maybe an international products or restaurant area, but with new buildings with great design. My own thoughts are to zone/plan for upbeat hotels with restaurants and entertainment to draw visitors from SeaTac and to give the citizens of the area fun places to go. We don't need more nail salons, tax services, fast food ( except delicious Dick's Drive-in ), gas stations, used car lots, pawn shops. Let's have something nice and unique; we don't have to look like everybody else. Thank You, Brian Kennedy 53 1 Lynn Miranda From:Jimmy K <jarkerne@gmail.com> Sent:Monday, October 19, 2020 10:14 PM To:Lynn Miranda Subject:Comment on City of Tukwila Notice of Planning Commission Public Hearing on Tukwila Internatinal Blvd. International Boulevard should remain car-friendly and pro-business. International Boulevard is a vital roadway that’s an important thoroughfare to the SeaTac airport. I don’t have a problem with the businesses that are currently on International Blvd. I would be very much opposed to low income government housing or more upzone apartments along International Blvd. Lot of people make a living driving Ubers and Cabs in this area. I-5 is often blocked by protesters, stopped by traffic, or in terrible disrepair after years of neglect. The calm drive along International Blvd. to the City is the alternative many business travelers, drivers, and residents prefer. I’ve read articles in the Tukwila Reporter where high level Microsoft executives living in Bellevue have thrown a lot of money at giving preference to foreigners to start businesses and live along International Blvd in Tukwila. Let Bellevue residents take that project up in their own City. The building of the new Justice Center to replace struggling immigrant businesses was an admission that this project failed. This practice of our local government giving immigrant businesses taxpayer money, incentives, or preference over American businesses w/ a history of success needs to end. To the extent these businesses are over-leveraged, poorly managed, or a haven for crime they should be allowed to fail or cited. Any brand name restaurant would thrive in this area just as Wendy’s or Taco Time have. Tukwila needs to allow more free market competition in this area. Many of the restaurants leaving Seattle due to their high tax anti-business initiatives would happily relocate to International Blvd. Tukwila is already the most diverse city in the country. We don’t need to keep focusing on bringing more people in illegally from abroad. The focus should be on strengthening the International community we’ve already been blessed with and helping them to assimilate with the Americans already here. Tukwila creates wealth for all people w/ single family homes and the opportunity for land ownership. The upzoning of Seattle only enriched the politicians’ pockets as they priced out the Community already living there. Boeing leaving Everett should be a wake up call. Tukwila needs to be family-friendly, low tax, and pro-business. Jimmy K CAUTION: This email originated from outside the City of Tukwila network.

With the proximity to Light Rail and other modes of public transportation, many of the parcels within the zones under consideration for code changes are perfectly suited for multi family development. The RC zoning unfortunately is extraordinary restrictive in this regard. I believe it would be simple to make a couple of meaningful changes to the code which would strongly encourage the development of multi family zoning within the RC zone. For instance, it would be very simple to change the max density limitation, currently at 22 units/acre for multi family to something more reasonable, i.e. 60 units/acre, which is what is currently allowed for senior citizen developments (if I read the code correctly). I would also suggest to reduce the required amount of recreational space (currently 200 sf/unit) to i.e. 60 sf/unit which is consistent with the requirement in the City of SeaTac. I believe the restrictions on multi family in the RC zone is excessively restrictive given the lack of housing in general and the options of public transportation specifically. This code review process appears to be an excellent opportunity to make relatively simple changes which will go a long way towards encouraging additional housing in the area.

WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila has adopted a Comprehensive Plan (“Comprehensive Plan”) in compliance with the Growth Management Act; and WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila is currently updating its Zoning Code to comply with its adopted Comprehensive Plan; and WHEREAS, the Tukwila International Boulevard Study Area (“TIB Study Area”), shown on Exhibit B, is generally bounded by 42nd Avenue South on the east, South 160th Street on the south, International Boulevard and Military Road on the west, and South 133rd Street to the north; and WHEREAS, the TIB Study Area consists of mixed zoning that includes commercial and residential zones with a stepped edge that follows the boundary of the multi-family zoning districts up to the Mixed Use Office District at approximately South 133rd Street; and WHEREAS, within the TIB Study Area’s existing Neighborhood Commercial Center (NCC) and Regional Commercial (RC) zoning districts, there are certain uses that in the future may not be allowed or may be allowed with conditions; and WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies for the TIB Study Area are to create a pedestrian oriented, walkable destination, with services for the neighborhood, and uses and developments consistent with those goals and policies; and WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila is in the process of updating its land use regulations to comply with said goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan for the TIB Study Area; and 67 CC:\Legislative Development\TIB Zoning Code revisions-Table 18-6 11-10-20 LM:bjs Review and analysis by Barbara Saxton Page 2 of 4 WHEREAS, prior to updating its land use regulations for the TIB Study Area, the City provided the public many opportunities to provide input on this matter; and WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila conducted a three-day workshop in February 2017 on the future improvements and land use regulations for the TIB Study Area and preliminarily determined hotels, motels, extended-stay facilities, and auto-oriented commercial uses (including, but not limited to, gas stations, car washes, vehicular repair or services, vehicular sales or rentals, vehicular storage, commercial parking, and drive- throughs) should be regulated differently than currently regulated; and WHEREAS, on July 17, 2017, the Tukwila City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2543, which declared an emergency necessitating the immediate imposition of a six-month moratorium prohibiting, within the TIB Study Area’s NCC and RC zoning districts, the development, expansion, intensification, or establishment of any new hotel, motel, extended-stay facility, and auto-oriented commercial uses (including, but not limited to, gas stations, car washes, vehicular repair or services, vehicular sales or rentals, vehicular storage, commercial parking, and drive-throughs); and WHEREAS, following the adoption of Ordinance No. 2543, the City of Tukwila adopted several subsequent ordinances (Ordinance Nos. 2565, 2579, 2595, 2606, and 2620) renewing said six-month moratorium, following public hearing, testimony regarding the City's moratorium, and declared findings prior to each renewal; and WHEREAS, renewals of said six-month moratorium were necessary to ensure the thoughtful and careful drafting of interim Zoning Code revisions that will replace the moratorium; and WHEREAS, on March 2, 2020, the Planning and Economic Development Committee recommended that the Planning Commission consider Zoning Code amendments that would eliminate the need to renew the moratorium again; and WHEREAS, due to Governor Inslee’s Proclamation 20-25, “Stay Home Stay Healthy,” in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Planning Commission held a virtual public hearing on April 23, 2020 to consider code amendments for the TIB Study Area, but the full consideration of the Zoning Code was delayed until October 22, 2020 when the Planning Commission, following adequate public notice, continued their virtual public hearing to consider code amendments for the TIB Study Area; and WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 2620 was set to expire on July 9, 2020 but the Tukwila City Council desired to renew the TIB Study Area moratorium for another six months in order to provide for the time needed for the COVID-19 pandemic related restrictions to be lifted so the public could meaningfully participate in the TIB Study Area code amendment process; and WHEREAS, on June 22, 2020, the Tukwila City Council held a public hearing on an ordinance renewing the six-month moratorium on certain types of new or expanded land uses in the TIB Study Area, and on July 6, 2020 adopted Ordinance No. 2631 renewing the six-month moratorium; and 68 CC:\Legislative Development\TIB Zoning Code revisions-Table 18-6 11-10-20 LM:bjs Review and analysis by Barbara Saxton Page 3 of 4 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a meeting on November 5, 2020 to consider staff-recommended modifications to the Zoning Code and forwarded their recommendations to the City Council;

BACKGROUND The City has previously adopted development permit fees on a two-year cycle. Additionally, since 2017, to offset the city’s costs for processing credit card payments for permit applications the City began charging a 3% convenience fee on permit fees paid by credit card. Technology fee of 5% is collected to provide for online permitting software upgrade/maintenance and converting paper records to digital records. Further the City contracts for the hearing examiner services and these are pass through costs collected with the land use applications. Also, some permits incur additional costs for the Fire Department review (Resolution 1967 adopted fees charged by the Fire Department and those fees are in addition to the fees listed in the attached resolution). DISCUSSION Staff is suggesting that the fees increase at 1.5% to reflect the City’s labor and benefit costs. Salaries for represented employees will likely increase in 2021 and 2022 by 90% of the Seattle Consumer Price Index (CPI-W). The CPI-W was 1% for the June 2020 period and additional cost increases are anticipated with the employee benefit costs. Additionally, staff is suggesting that hourly inspection fees and after hour inspections should be increased from approximately $70 to $105 per hour to recover costs associated with inspections. Also, the rate for credit card fees and technology fees should be maintained the same as the past year. The pass-through costs associated with the hearing examiner fees should also be maintained. FINANCIAL IMPACT The proposed fee increases will keep pace with the City’s costs to provide these necessary services. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve the fee resolution and consider this item at the November 23, 2020 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent December 7, 2020 Regular Meeting.

WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 1947 in 2018, establishing the City’s current consolidated construction fee schedule; and WHEREAS, the City intends to update permit fees on an annual basis, with any increases tied to growth in City expenses for providing permit services; and WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to recover a portion of the City’s costs for review and processing of permit applications; and WHEREAS, the City has adopted a biennial budget process; and WHEREAS, the City’s primary cost for permit processing is employee salaries and benefits; and WHEREAS, the Seattle Consumer Price Index (CPI-W) was 1% for the June 2020 period; and WHEREAS, the cost for employee benefits has risen by an even larger percentage; and WHEREAS, increasing flat fee permits by 1.5% will enable revenues to track with City labor costs; and WHEREAS, as more permit applicants are paying by credit card, and there is a surcharge on the fees paid by credit card, the City intends to pass this convenience fee through to the permit applicants; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, at a Regular Meeting thereof this _________ day of __________________, 2020. ATTEST/AUTHENTICATED: Christy O'Flaherty, MMC, City Clerk De’Sean Quinn, Council President APPROVED AS TO FORM BY: Filed with the City Clerk: Passed by the City Council: Resolution Number: Office of the City Attorney 98 City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Economic Development Committee FROM: Minnie Dhaliwal, Community Development BY: Kia Shagena, Code Enforcement Officer CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: November 16, 2020 SUBJECT: Updated Rental Housing Licensing Fees and Program Update ISSUE Should Tukwila increase its rental housing licensing fees and inspection rate to adjust for inflation in staff costs? BACKGROUND The City established the Residential Rental Business License and Inspection Program in 2010. This program was established for rental units to protect the public health, safety and welfare by ensuring the proper maintenance of such housing, by identifying and requiring correction of substandard housing conditions, and by preventing conditions of deterioration and blight that could adversely impact the quality of life in the City of Tukwila. At the Council meeting on June 15, 2020, that adopted the resolution waiving late fees due to COVID, the Council had asked for a briefing on the program. Additionally, the licensing and inspection fees for 2021 and 2022 need to be adopted at this time. DISCUSSION Briefing on the Rental Housing Licensing and Inspection Program: Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 5.06 establishes regulations pertaining to rental housing license and inspection. Residential rental properties are required to obtain an annual rental business license. In addition to annual licensing, all rental housing units in the City must pass an inspection every 4 years. As of November 4, 2020, The Rental Housing Program has 4357 registered rental units and 604 active rental licenses (one license per property). Properties with up to 4 units may use a City inspector while all larger properties must use a private inspector who meets specific qualifications. The City may also inspect units in response to complaints and audit inspections submitted by private inspectors when inspection reports are in question. A total of 86% of all registered units have up to date passing inspections, while 14% are due for their next inspection (See Attachment B). Inspections ensure compliance with minimum health safety standards (See Attachment C). Fee Update for 2021-2022 All program late fees for 2020 were waived in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As of November 4, 2020, 73 properties have yet to renew their 2020 rental license. Not including new rental licenses, 572 units were due for inspection in 2020. Due to social distancing measures nearly all property owners have postponed their 2020 inspections. 1175 units are due for inspection in 2021. In response to the ongoing pandemic and social distancing requirements, staff has developed a virtual rental inspection beta program to address inspection needs. 99 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 https://tukwilawa.sharepoint.com/sites/mayorsoffice/cc/CC Docs/Old W/2020 Info Memos/InfoMemo_RHP_2020-2022_FeeSchedule.docx Staff has found monthly late fees for overdue license renewals to be an effective tool. Staff proposes to reinstate late fees for both overdue licenses and overdue inspections. Additionally, staff is recommending that the residential rental business license and inspection fees for 2021-2022 be increased by 1.5% to keep up with the costs of the program. This is based on the fact that the salaries for represented employees will likely increase in 2021 and 2022 by 90% of the Seattle Consumer Price Index (CPI-W). The CPI-W was 1% for the June 2020 period and additional cost increases are anticipated with the employee benefit costs. FINANCIAL IMPACT The proposed fee increases will keep pace with the City’s costs to provide these necessary services. RECOMMENDATION The Committee is being asked to approve the resolution for 2021-2022 fees and consider this item at the November 23, 2020 Committee of the Whole and December 7, 2020 Regular Meeting.

Staff is following up on this request with additional detail and background. BACKGROUND Tourism Promotion Area Interlocal Agreement In 2014 the Cities of Tukwila, Des Moines, and SeaTac executed an interlocal agreement (“TPA ILA)” to form a Tourism Promotion Area (TPA) to cover the combined boundaries of the three cities. Under Washington State law most municipalities in King County cannot form their own TPAs and must partner with at least one other jurisdiction1. Through the TPA ILA the cities agreed that the City of SeaTac would serve as the legislative authority for the TPA area. In 2014, after receiving a petition from hoteliers, the City of SeaTac formally adopted a resolution setting out a TPA fee in the three-city area. The total fee was $2 per night per eligible hotel stay in a hotel or motel with at least 90 rooms2. The $2 rate was the maximum permitted under the current State law. State law was recently amended to allow the rate to go up to $5 per night, provided 60% of the businesses that would pay the increase petition for the increase and it is approved by the legislative authority. Per the TPA ILA, 100% of the TPA fee, less a one percent administrative charge by the Department of Revenue, goes to Seattle Southside Regional Tourism Authority (SSRTA) for tourism promotion efforts in the three city area under the “Seattle Southside” brand. In 2019, SSRTA received just over $3.96 million from the TPA fee. The agreement provides a 20-year term; however, any member City can withdraw from the TPA ILA by providing one year’s notice to the other members. In addition, like any agreement, the signatories to the TPA ILA can mutually agree to amend the agreement at any time. 1 The City of Federal Way was able to carve an exemption to allow it to form its own TPA without the need to partner with another jurisdiction. 2 The TPA fee is a flat fee, while the lodging tax is a percentage. This allows the TPA to collect higher revenue than the lodging tax when rates are low. For example, a room at a hotel going for $100 a night would only provide $1 in lodging tax funds, while the TPA gets the full $2. 109 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 https://tukwilawa.sharepoint.com/sites/mayorsoffice/cc/CC Docs/Old W/2020 Info Memos/Info Memo, Tourism Promotion ILA Review.doc Allowable Use of Tourism Promotion Area Fee Revised Code of Washington 35.101.130 states that the Legislative Authority, “…shall have sole discretion as to how the revenue derived from this charge is to be used to promote tourism promotion that increases the number of tourists to the area.” ‘Tourism Promotion’ is defined as, “…activities and expenditures designed to increase tourism and convention businesses, including but not limited to advertising, publicizing, or otherwise distributing information for the purpose of attracting tourists, and operating tourism designation marketing organizations.” Unlike lodging tax provisions of State Law, the TPA RCW provides a definition of tourist3. A ‘tourist’ means a person who travels for business or pleasure on a trip: (a) Away from the person’s place of residence or business and stays overnight in paid accommodations; (b) To a place at least fifty miles away one way by driving distance from the person’s place of residence or business for the day or stays overnight. However, island communities without land access are exempt from the mileage requirement under this subsection (5)(b); or (c) To another country or state outside of the person’s place of residence or business . In addition to the RCWs outlined above, the TPA ILA also provides requirements on how the TPA funds must be used, the following outlines those provisions. a. The general promotion of tourism within the Seattle Southside TPA as specified in the businesses plan of the SSRTA; b. The marketing of convention and trade shows that benefit local tourism and the Lodging Businesses in the Seattle Southside TPA; c. The marketing of the Seattle Southside TPA region to the travel industry in order to benefit local tourism and the lodging businesses in the Seattle Southside TPA; d. The marketing of the Seattle Southside TPA region to recruit sporting events in order to promote local tourism and to benefit the Lodging Businesses and tourism industry within the Seattle Southside TPA; and e. Direct administration, operation, formation, and start-up costs associated with Seattle Southside TPA and the ongoing management and maintenance of the Seattle Southside TPA program, including but not limited to staff costs, public notice advertising, legal costs, accounting and auditing (including audits of the Parties and the SSRTA as they relate to this Agreement), as approved by SSRTA Board of Directors, provided no funds will be used for costs not directly related to operation of the Seattle Southside TPA, this Agreement, or the SSRTA. 3 This definition goes into effect on July 1, 2020. 110 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 https://tukwilawa.sharepoint.com/sites/mayorsoffice/cc/CC Docs/Old W/2020 Info Memos/Info Memo, Tourism Promotion ILA Review.doc DISCUSSION From a good administrative and oversight standpoint, staff believes it is prudent to conduct regular reviews of agreements that the City is part of. The TPA ILA has now been in place for six years and staff would like to conduct a review of the agreement. The following are the key areas staff believes should be examined in the TPA ILA review:  Transparency and Accountability  Check in with Tukwila Hotels and other Stakeholders  Administration and Operation of the Tourism Promotion Area  Review of Changes in State Law Impacting Tourism Promotion Areas  Return on Investment for the Tourism Promotion Area Fee  Housekeeping of the Interlocal Agreement Staff anticipates that this review would take most of 2021. Ideally, this review would occur in partnership with the Cities of Des Moines and SeaTac and staff has already begun to have conversations with those cities staff about the review. However, should those cities not be able to participate, staff still believes it would be prudent for the City to conduct its own review. FINANCIAL IMPACT None RECOMMENDATION Forward to the November 23 Committee of the Whole meeting for discussion.
