Re: City of Tukwila - Draft Transit-Oriented Development Housing Strategies Plan
Dear Tukwila City Council:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on Tukwila’s proposed draft of the Transit-Oriented
Development (TOD) Housing Strategies Plan. We appreciate your coordination with our agency as
you work to fulfill the grant contract to develop this plan. Tukwila has done an excellent job through
this draft plan to address all the required elements of a housing action plan as outlined in RCW
36.70A.600.
The plan, if implemented as designed, will help the city address its future housing needs by
accommodating the future population demand with a greater diversity of housing options and greater
affordability, while addressing displacement and preserving affordable housing in the Tukwila
International Boulevard (TIB) station area. We appreciate that this plan recognizes the benefit of
focusing on a specific area for transit-oriented development (TOD) while supporting the city’s larger
efforts to create a diverse range of housing options to meet the needs of its residents.
The following parts of the city’s Housing Strategies Plan are strong and commendable:
The thorough examination of development feasibility was helpful in developing targeted and
specific strategies that will help the city move forward with specific changes quickly. This
analysis looks at the real world implications of how the city can achieve the desired
development identified in the plan.
The recommendations are presented so that readers understand the impacts of each
recommendation based on the development feasibility, where applicable, and what next steps
would be for implementation.
The wide range of anti-displacement strategies is laudable. While planning has typically
focused on new housing and preservation of housing, displacement is becoming an important
area to focus on as residents are increasingly priced out of areas.

Figure 55. Recommended Actions and Implementation Considerations ties the plan together
giving an easy visual to help the city and decision makers decide how and when to implement
this plan. As indicated in the plan, the TOD Housing Strategies Plan will assist and can be
incorporated in the city’s upcoming required Growth Management Act (GMA)
comprehensive plan and development regulation update process.
As the city looks to adoption and implementation of this robust set of housing strategies, we have a
few suggestions for strengthening your plan:
Explore tax increment financing (TIF) for infrastructure (re: D1, D3). This new tool for
Washington jurisdictions has been successfully used throughout the nation for infrastructure
in urban areas.
Consider expansion of income streams for affordable housing. Affordable housing at the
lowest income levels will not be provided by the private market and will require government
support, therefore having as many tools as possible to support this critical need is important.
Explore the feasibility of allowing a wider variety of housing types in more zones. For
example, allowing duplexes in the LDR zone and townhomes in the RC zone could allow
more affordable home ownership options in more areas of the city.
Develop a list of indicators and a monitoring plan to track progress. Such a plan would allow
the city to measure its progress and evaluate which changes have been effective at meeting
the goals, and which might need modifications to meet the intended purpose.
Congratulations to the staff for the good work that the draft TOD Housing Strategies Plan represents.
We extend our continued support to the City of Tukwila as you work toward setting your intended
direction for housing policy. If you have any questions or need technical assistance, please feel free
to contact me at laura.hodgson@commerce.wa.gov or (360) 764-3143.

Laura Hodgson

Re: Summary of Tukwila Housing Action Plan Public Engagement - Final
Date: 13 January 13, 2021
This memorandum summarizes stakeholder feedback for developing the City of Tukwila’s new
Housing Action Plan (HAP).
Project Overview
The purpose of the community engagement element of the HAP is to connect with residents, workers,
businesses, non-profit organizations, service providers, and other key stakeholders to discover
qualitative data and stakeholder stories to support and ground-truth the HAP’s quantitativedata. As
captured in the project’s initial public engagement plan, the dual priorities for this work are to:
1.Assess Tukwila’s housing needs in the context of social equity, demographic changes, and
market dynamics.
2.Develop a suite of strategies that respond to the unique opportunities of Tukwila and its
residents.
The public outreach process includes threeiterative phases: stakeholder interviews, focus groups, and
a final community open house. This report provides analysis of feedback from all interviews and focus
groups to inform HAP recommendations and strategies. Teens, in particular teens of color, are
typically underrepresented and undervalued in traditional planning processes. In order to elevate the
voices of our teen focus group, we’ve highlighted their feedback in a dedicated section of this report.
In March 2021, the third phase of outreach, a community open house, will invite the public to consider
and react to draft housing recommendations and strategies.
Qualitative Research Methodology
Qualitative data and community stories provide insight and a greater understanding of community
perceptions and experiences with housing and what types of housing choices community members
seek now and in the future. One-on-one and small group interviews allow stakeholder participation on
their own terms and with a sense of empowerment and inclusion. Qualitative research is also
beneficial because it:
29
Supports quantitative data meaningfully and purposefully, allowing for more detailed
understanding of complex issues.
Values lived experiences and expresses data in people’s own words, with the capacity to
uncover multiple perspectives or unconventional thinking.
Informs and enhances decision-making and adds immeasurably to our understanding of
human, institutional, and systems behavior.
However, the quantitative research process generates a tremendous amount of information that must
be thoughtfully analyzed, edited, and presented. It is also important to remember that a qualitative
research process will never reach all stakeholders, and while participants are considered
“representative,” they are speaking from their own lived experiences. A final note: analysis is through
the lens of the interviewer, and even with an emphasis on neutrality interpretation can carry elements
of our own biases.
Outreach Approach
The community engagement process began with a collaborative effort to identify specific outreach
goals. These goals are detailed as follows:
1.Conduct community engagement based on clear and reasonable expectations for stakeholder
participation.
This includes timely and advance notice and paying for participation (if possible given
funding guidelines).
2.Tailor stakeholder outreach to help inform housing strategies that are anti-displacement and
focused on transit-oriented development.
3.Authentically engage a broad range of people that reflect the cultural and demographic
diversity of Tukwila and translating that qualitative data into actionable housing strategies.
4.Maintain flexibility and focus given the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
5.Use community engagement to inform elected officials and decision makers.
6.Demonstrate the significance of public participation and how community engagement
influences housing policy solutions.
Building on the outreach goals, we established a process designed to maximize inclusion of voices that
are historically underrepresented in traditional planning processes and representative of Tukwila’s
cultural and demographic diversity. This process included:
Stakeholder Interviews:We conducted 13 interviewswith 15 people across a broad range of
community stakeholders representing City staff, non-profits, social service providers, faith-based
organizations, apartment owners, and community residents.
2
30
Focused Group Conversations:We held four focused conversations of two or more people,
representing faith-based community leaders, youth, and shelter/service providers. Ten people
participated in focused conversations.
Interview + Focused Conversation Results
The cumulative content of each interview was analyzed to identify key themes and insights that
should be proactively considered when developing housing policy recommendations. Most
stakeholders are not housing policy experts, and while some feedback may provide direct
recommendations for housing strategies, the real value of their perspective is what we glean from
their lived experiences and use to develop housing policies to directly address their concerns. Some
examples of questions we asked participants are:
How would you describe the perception of housing availability and the quality of housing stock
in Tukwila ?
What are the unfilled housing needs in Tukwila?
Thinking about the area around the light rail station, do you feel that this should be an area of
focus for housing Tukwila? Why or why not?
Do you feel that Tukwila is inviting for new businesses to locate along TIB? What are some
things that could improve Tukwila’s support of businesses along TIB?
Ten years from now, what should housing look like in Tukwila?
How can the City of Tukwila think more creatively about providing housing for all?
After reviewing all stakeholder input, we identified the following keythemes, summarized below.
Each theme is further supported by quotes, insight, and recommendations from stakeholders in their
own words and detailed in Appendix B.
Key Themes
The richness of Tukwila is its diversity of people and businesses, and that should be celebrated
and built upon. It’s a special place to live, and residents, especially teens, strongly identify with
being from Tukwila. People want to stay but are already

housing, and low-income housing.
- Tukwila business owner
Tukwila has several land use and infrastructure code
requirements that are outdated, reflecting the City’s suburban past rather than the urban
center it is today. This impacts all development potential, but particularly affordable housing.
The business area around Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB) is suffering from COVID
impacts and while vulnerable before, is particularly fragile now. Businesses need support from
the City in advance of more changes coming to the TIB.
3
31
There are still unsettled feelings from thelack of outreach and engagement and subsequent
displacement of businesses related to the Justice Center development. However, people
understand the need for housing along the TIB and want to be engaged in the planning process
and to participate in shaping the look and feel of the area.
Tukwila should providea diverse range of housing options for people in all stages life; from
new families to single renters, seniors, and intergenerational families, everybody has healthy
and safe options for a home in Tukwila.
People recognize change is coming, and City staff should immediately begin engaging with the
diverse ethnic and cultural communities along the TIB. Engagement should be meaningful and
authentic, involve community leaders, and be conducted by people who reflect Tukwila’s
diverse communities and that can communicate with people in their primary (non-English)
languages.
In addition to needing more housing (and diverse types), there should more opportunities for
home ownership in the form of townhomes and condos. The City should sponsor
financial/home-buying educational opportunities so people invest in a home and start to build
intergenerational wealth.
Many seniors want to live in Tukwila, and some feel the city treats them well. However, many
others can’t afford to live here, and state that even the SHAG development is too expensive.
There are slightly different perspectives between residents and developers about the need for
parking in the TIB area. While both perspectives agree that there is now, and will continue to
be, a need for parking for new residential units, residents feel a much greater need for more
parking while developers feel requirements are too onerous.
City staff, including police and fire, are perceived as open and approachable.
Unique Statements
In addition to themes that were consistently repeated, we captured stakeholder comments that
offered new, or important insights:
Developers should be required to include culturally relevant voices at the table, and the City
should hold them accountable, and spearhead partnerships between community members and
developers.

City staff has an important role to play in humanizing the
need for housing, and it should involve all departments working together to educate the public
about the overall need for more housing (and affordable housing), in Tukwila.

Create an enforcement option for landlords that continue to cause problems and disregard
tenant wellbeing or consistently have problematic properties. Develop an incentive program
for landlords with properties that routinely pass inspection, for instance inspecting less often
or receiving a smaller percentage of inspections.

Find innovative ideas to support small businesses so they aren’t displaced. Offer them right of

them during development. Meet with businesses now to help them plan and survive.
Create a structured, or tiered, permitting process that prioritizes and expedites permitting for
affordable housing projects. Also apply that privilege to any business who risks displacement
due to development.
Prioritizing Input from the Next Generation
Although we plan with their future in mind, children and teens are typically left out of planning
processes. Research suggests that civic engagement in adolescence is positively associated with
subsequent income, education, mental health, and health behaviors.1 Given the synergies between
civic engagement and a community’s housing opportunities

These students (and likely others) would love the opportunity to speak directly with elected officials
about their concerns and would welcome engaging in a future dialogue with city leaders.
“…just being a bit more comfortable. We’ve moved 9 times and were evicted once. We’re moving to messy
apartments over and over and we shouldn’t have to worry about it. It shouldn’t be that hard. I want to be
relaxed and secure. Stable. ”
“The residential area is hard to walk and bike.”
“In my experience, almost no one who wants to live here can. Nobody living outside of Tukwila was living
there by choice. \[School\] attendance is super hard when you have to bus so far – nearly an hour.”
“This is my perfect community. If I could stay \[in Tukwila\] forever, I would. So having to move out of my
number 1 spot to spend mydays…kinda sucks.It’s so approachable and communal and was so easy to
develop natural relationships.”
“We need to be able to get more places safely. I imagine just walking to my friends’ houses after school,
and it’s such a dream.”
“Nobody in my friend group lives there anymore. Very few people can actually live there, or at least
somewhere they enjoy living. I know so many people who what to and can’t and I’m one of those people.”
“My ideal housing development – I’m imagining all the parking near the middle school. I would take that
parking and build housing for students and families to live there so they don’t have to worry about
attendance.”
In response: “That would be such a dream – I would LIVE for that. Imagine going to your friend’s
house and meeting up before school.”
“I would eliminate $600,000 houses – they’re so unnecessary. We do need diversity in price and a range of
houses, but it’s hard to see them go up right across from our school. But we rarely have enough money to
do what we want in school, and taxes are one of the few ways we get money for schools. Bellevue and
Kirkland schools do so well because they have housing taxes to do so. ”
Development Standards + Housing: Developers’ Perspectives
To a gain better understanding of the experience of building new
housing in Tukwila, we hosted two focus groups with developers who
“We could have put on

and challenges associated with Tukwila’s development standards,
city permitting processes, and the limitations of project financing.

Parking standards are incredibly outdated. The city is willing to negotiate reductions, but it’s
still too high. Parking will get built because there’s demand, but the requirements are too high.
Outdated infrastructure drives up the cost of development. The city has stricter fire codes than
the state anddevelopment had to upgrade in order to meet the requirements, which is costly.
A lot of the sites along TIB will have issues meeting the turning radius offire department
trucks, which will need a huge amount of space. The shape of the lots makes this difficult.
The requirement for dedicated walking paths also reduces development capacity and doesn’t
really add much value to the site.
The city’s requirement for restrictive covenants is redundant with what’s already required.
Construction projects that intersect between private development projects and city projects
needs to be aligned and coordinated.
Understand the need for larger units (average size), and units with more bedrooms. Seniors in
particular want larger spaces and we will rarely build studio senior apartments. It diminishes
the livability for seniors.
Understand the need for more family sized units, but financing those projects is more difficult
than 1 bedroom. And 1 bedrooms are more valuable that 2/3-bedrooms.
Affordable housing that’s been built is long-term with King County covenants in place. These
projects are still very valuable and marketable even with the affordability requirements. They
are strong long-term values that should be kept in the hands of affordable housing and not
shared with the overall real estate investment community.
Outreach Challenges + Opportunities
Conducting community outreach with the challenges of COVID-19 is difficult. All outreach was held
via video or phone calls, with people who had access to technology. Scheduling was relatively easy,
and groups for focused conversations never exceeded more than four people. While somewhat small,
the size of the group allowed for more in-depth conversation and shared ideas.
Next Steps
Community input from this phase of the outreach process will be used to shape the direction of the
HAP’s strategies and recommendations. Draft strategies and recommendations will be reviewed by
staff and City Council, and a community open house will be held in January or February 2021 for
further refinement and feedback.

Appendix B. Stakeholder Feedback Organized by Theme
Below is a summary of feedback received, organized thematically. Where noted, the statement is a
verbatim quote from a stakeholder.
TIB Development
TOD is a huge opportunity,and we should maximize it. “We might already be behind the ball in
terms of the station area.”
The TIB needs a vision – a real VISION – not just a mix of different housing types and
businesses. It need a community driving vision.
Make sure there’s a business mix, and especially keep in mind senior housing. They need
places to go, and places to sit and commune.
Could bring more traffic.
High density is ok if there are opportunities for condos/home ownership.
It’s a great place to live for people who don’t need a car. Because of that there should be a lot
of space for small, diverse businesses to try and keep the existing business dynamic.
“The TIB area must include affordable, lovely business spaces, too. They should be safe,
accessible, and affordable for the business model that is small, family-run, and community-
supported.”
There’s not a lot of land to build on, but we can go high. Increase the zoning so more people
can live here. The look and feel will be fine.
TIB has the best opportunity for housing development in the community. Multi-unit model
with corner stores/shops along the Blvd. Get a great mixed dynamic.
“We really focus on suspending some of the zoning requirements and think about big-picture
goals. Really go into negotiations w/developers and not use thisarchaic zoning: parking
requirements too much and green space requirements too much.Maybe charge impact fees –
every year your profit goes to parks and rec or community services.”
City Government/staff
“Tukwila is pretty open – the City Council is approachable and make time for you. City
departments make time for you. Police and fire have been really approachable.”
The city is conscious of their citizens and want a safe and harmonious place to live.
“The Community Development Department staff, they don’t live in Tukwila, but they decide
what Tukwila needs. They don’t think about the demand for parking.”
COVID has dismantled a lot of cultural norms and traditions, and changed what people said
couldn’t be done Tukwila could be a leader in showing other communities how housing can be
done. Engage with community leaders to break down existing norms and narratives for new
and innovative ideas.
“We have good working relationships with the city, but there are a lot of wounds from the
justice center. The boulevard was always about businesses and allowed them to flourish. Now
they are gone.”
“A different way of thinking would be the city knowing they don’t have to be the decision
makers you can be the convener to build a collaborative process to find the solution. Help
guide the process forward with community investment.”
“We live and die by sticking to schedules and we need the City to know that and stick to it.”

Immigrants/Refugees Housing Needs
“Immigrant families need 3+ bedrooms and you’re driving people out of Tukwila by not
building the housing they need.”
Many in the immigrant business community feel as though they’re being erased and as they
move out it’s changing the look and feel of the TIB. It’s been East African and LatinX driven,
with some Bosnian and Cambodia communities as well.
Many would love to purchase a home, but don’t have a sense of what the process looks like.
They need financial coaching, and a way to get out of the cycle of renting and start to build
intergenerational wealth. Develop programs to transition from renter to homeowner because
a lot of people just don’t think it’s possible.
“For a long time Tukwila residents complained about everyone new was too transient. We
came and we stayed, and we didn’t get the reward. We lost our community when the Justice
Center went in.”
Communities of Color
Do the research on how some policies created and the historical disparities and know what’s
happening now. What made Tukwila, Tukwila?? Understand this is what communities of color
are fighting against – this historical oppression.
“City tactics haven’t adjusted, and they haven’t made the moves be truly inclusive. And with
the Justice Center it was really siloed conversations that happened only with targeted
audiences.”
The city could sponsor a tour where people could learn about different ethnic businesses and
what makes Tukwila unique. Give people an opportunity to learn from each other and more
about the city.”
As Seattle gentrifies Tukwila is just one step behind and the impacts are starting to be felt.
Housing costs are up, and people are leaving.
Seniors
For a lot of Tukwila seniors, even SHAG isn’t considered affordable.
A lot of seniors want to live in Tukwila – the city treats their seniors well. But many can’t afford
it here.
Help low-income seniors maintain their homes (provide more grants or assistance) to keep
their housing stock in good condition so they don’t have to leave or lose money when they
have to sell.
There’s a catch-22 for a lot of senior housing. SSI income is too much to qualify for many
places, but it’s not enough to live on.
Outreach + Engagement
“Each community has a way then like to engage with the city – from their background. What’s
the best way to connect with them? Ask them!”
“Engage people in solutions don’t just come and tell them things.”
“Have the complete circle – have initial meetings, make a decision, and then come back and
tell them how the decision was made”.
10
38
There should be a lot of investment in community members participating in decisions.
“Good working relationships would be more community meetings. All of us know we need
housing; we can’t deny that. More one-on-one meetings with the community are necessary.”
“Our high school speaks 45 different languages – if we’re proud of that we have to do the
outreach.”
TIB Businesses
With COVID, they need a lot of support right now.
“People from the outside perceive these businesses aren’t kept up enough, so they should be
gone. The buildings don’t look great to white people. They don’t understand it’s about their
livelihood”.
There needs to be more awareness/educationabout the diverse businesses.
Feels like there’s a lack of engagement with business owners who are mostly minorities, and
more engagement needs to happen, and done by people who represent these communities.
Business owners want to participate and be a part of what the city is proposing – the change
that is coming.
Look at the different ways people shop – don’t need an abundance of products, bazaars are
awesome.
Missing Housing
Supported housing for homeless with mental health services
Workforce housing
Studios/”apodments” for workers.
Units that are 3+ and affordable.
In terms of missing housing types, it’s all over the board: independent living, small affordable
spaces, disabled need housing – they have limited incomes, but aren’t seniors. We also need
apartments that are 3+ bedr0oms.”
Look at examples (Georgia) where malls added housing options.
More townhome models. Starter home model/growing and creating intergenerational wealth.
Perceptions of Housing
There’s some fear of multifamily zoning because of concerns about decreased property values,
lack of parking, and too many cars. But the city can lead on educating about perception versus
reality.
There’s a bias against renters – even in single family units.
The city should provide opportunities for affordable housing developers to educate the public
about their projects, like leading tours for residents to show them what affordable housing
looks like.
People confuse affordable housing and Section 8 housing all the time.
Housing Stock
Most housing was built in the 60’s and doesn’t fit today’s families. They need more space.
There are a lot of buildings that need maintenance.
11
39
ADUs seem to be trending but can’t rent out both units. But over the last two years there’s
been an uptick.
There are a lot of substandard buildings and that will pay off in the long run as they will
eventually be redeveloped.
More Community Needs
Housing should also address food access issues.
If you can’t get rid of single-family zoning, at least reduce the minimum lot size requirements.
“Living here is a thing. It’s an attachment. Kids really care about living here and being from
here and it’s devastating for their social life and perception of self when they have to move.”
Tukwila is unique – there’s just one of everything. One Catholic church, one mosque, one
cemetery, one high school. People strongly identify with living in Tukwila.
10 years from now:
“People should be able to live and work in Tukwila, with more mixed housing in neighborhoods
that include cute starter homes, and mother-in-law apartments. Just smaller houses in
general.”
“People are able to come to Tukwila and find housing that changes with you as you change in
your life. Housing has to be safe and health – can’t be old and dilapidated. To live in safe,
maintained housing is a right. Anybody in our community can find a safe, healthy place to
afford to live and can start to build community. They invest in community and we invest in
them by having housing for them.”
“Tukwila will be a place where diversity is welcome and embraced – both cultures and people. I
already know me; I want to see and meet people from other cultures and places.”
Housing for different people at different stages of life.

Overview:
On May 12th the City of Burien hosted an online community meeting to discuss the recommendations
of the draft Housing Action Plan. Twenty-six people participated (excluding city facilitators +
consultants). The meeting included an interactive poll to gauge who was participating and their
understanding of housing issues.
After a presentation of findings and initial recommendations in the draft Housing Action Plan, meeting
participants were split into 3 breakout rooms to have a discussion and provide feedback on the
recommendations. Staff and consultants facilitated the breakout rooms and took notes. Below is a
summary of the major themes and stakeholder suggestions as captured by the facilitators, followed by
notes and quotes in the Complete Notes section.
1.What is your primary connection to Tukwila? (18 responses)

41
2. What is one word you would use to describe housing in Tukwila? (13 responses)
3. What does affordable housing mean to you? (18 responses)
In addition, participants submitted the following questions and comments via chat or in the breakout
sessions. These will also be taken as feedback in the process of updating the HAP.
That cost burdening is more impactful to Black + Latino families is an important point for us to
acknowledge. Tyler can you say that one more time please?

42
Is it possible to further explain which income groups are in greatest need of new housing? I was
not clear on that part.
Examples of innovative thinking: Evanston, IL where they are providing money to black families
to purchase homes (part of a "reparations" strategy.
al context of why a
more local value cannot be used and how equitable that AMI process was, would be helpful.
The King County AMI is the standard method used at the federal and state level for
o
affordable housing subsidies, such as federal tax credits. The county-level AMI is used
as a starting place to compare the community with the region.
Who will be prioritized to live in the affordable housing units when they are built in Tukwila?
Will they be prioritized for people who are housing insecure in Tukwila or will people from
-wide response?
How do we ensure that people who are already li
moving from more expensive places? Does the Puget Sound Regional Council consider
movement of people across areas in determining population growth and projected housing
need in individual communities?
housing?
Not surprised at most of the information presented, but some surprise that there is a higher
percentage of lower-income families in Tukwila than other South King County cities and
surprise at the significant cost-burdening that people of color experience.
If you could reimagine what your community could look like with more housing, what would that
be?
More affordable mixed-use multi-family housing.
A community where fewer people are cost-burdened.
Are there any recommendations that we should know to keep existing businesses on Tukwila
International Boulevard?
Acknowledgement that this would be challenging.
Interest in increased density in the area, while maintaining businesses on the ground floor.
What types of incentives are you comfortable with the City offering to encourage new housing?
Increased density / taller buildings.
Address parking requirements.
Remember community and quality of life are important

housing?
I was a little surprised that we had a higher percentage of lower income folks in Tukwila than
other cities. As I think about it that may be because Tukwila is so much smaller, physically, than
more expensive homes along the water.
When was the data collected? 8 months old is pretty good. A lot of the models have been
presented before. Areas of Tukwila are different Cascade View is not majority white. Tukwila
Hill was predominantly white, now becoming more diverse.
The data was not surprising from an affordability perspective. Shocked at the cost burden
information and the racial disparities for black, Hispanic, and Asian populations. The white
population may be a larger home owning population. How do we build/provide opportunities
for black and brown people? Tukwila has covenants that prevented black and brown people
from owning property. This is an opportunity to try to repair that. In my neighborhood, a lot of
the black and Hispanic people have moved out, more Asians and whites are moving in.
Not surprised at the data. King County released rental data and it showed that we have low
housing stock everywhere, housing is going to continue to be a big issue for awhile.
Between 2013-2020, housing costs have gone up 126 percent, rents up 30+ percent. There is an
expected big jump in rental rates. The situation could become more dire.
If you could reimagine what your community could look like with more housing, what would that be?
More affordable housing units for families, so that people can stay in Tukwila in homes that fit
their families.
Multifamily units for community members with larger families.
A community where fewer people are cost burdened.
Mixed-income developments where there are middle- and lower-income families living
together in the same area. This is important so that one area does not become labeled as the
low-income housing area where no one wants to live.
Having newer, well-maintained multifamily buildings with various income levels.
Are there any recommendations that we should know to keep existing businesses on Tukwila
International Boulevard (TIB)?
Build developments with businesses in the first floor. Increase density with businesses on the
first floor.
The challenge is that businesses may be located there because rents are low. There is also a lack
of certain local services along TIB (such as hairdressers).
It will be challenging to keep local businesses as development happens.
What types of incentives are you comfortable with the City offering to encourage new housing?
(examples: higher buildings, less parking, less open space).
Higher buildings and density.
Higher buildings and density with rooftop gardens.

Addressing parking requirements (surface stall = $35K, structured=$65K). We want to provide
the amount of parking that meets the demands of our tenants. The 2 stalls per unit parking
requirement applied to their project would require another floor of parking. Were already
stretched to the build the project as-is. Need to find a middle ground.
From my point of view, I want to look at the quality of life for the people who are going to live
financial puzzle to solve to be able to build an affordable housing project. Is it possible to
monetize the parking spaces that are in excess, for example as a park and ride in proximity to
light rail? Then, after 5-10 years, the spaces revert back to the property owner. Interested in
creative solutions, that may require changes at higher than the local level.
Focus on the goal of building community. Look at every lever.

Transit Oriented Development Housing Strategies Plan
SUBJECT:
ISSUE
Staffwould like topresent a resolution to adopttheTransit Oriented Development Housing
Strategies Plan.
BACKGROUND
In the summer of 2019,the State legislature passed HB 1923 providing grants to local
jurisdictions to prepare housing action plans.Staff applied for the grant at the end of September
2019 after receiving approval to move forward by theCommunity Development and
Neighborhoods (CDN)Committee,and the City wasawarded the full $100,000. Council
approved and authorizedthe Mayor to sign an Interagency Agreement with the WADepartment
of Commerce to accept grant funding at the December 2, 2019,Regular Meeting.
Thework has been divided into two distinct parts. The first part wasthe development of a Sub-
RegionalFrameworkand is collaborative with Auburn, Burien, Federal Way, Kent, Renton, and
Tukwila.This is designed to inform the second partof the plan, the development of aTukwila
Specific Transit Oriented Development Housing StrategiesPlan.The Tukwila-specific portion of
the plan focuses on the transit-oriented development (TOD) area around the Tukwila
International Boulevard Link Light Rail Station, and ECONorthwestwas the consultant selected
to prepare both the joint andthe Tukwila-specific portions of the plan.
The primary focus of the TOD Housing Strategies Plan is to identify pathways to increase
residential building capacity while minimizing displacement of existing residents in the TIB
Station Area which includes properties within a half-mile walkshed of the Tukwila International
Boulevard Link Light Rail Station.The creation of this plan is consistent with the vision in the
The
TIB District is a local center where existing and future land use and infrastructure capacity will
be used to accommodate
Sound Regional Council Vision 2040 goals and policies, and the King County Countywide
Planning Policies.
Public Engagement
The public outreach process began with the creation of a Public Engagement Plan outlining
priorities and goals for the outreach process. Outreach included stakeholder interviews and
focus groups involving participants from key groups, including: Tukwila residents and people
with lived experiences in the TOD area; faith-based organizations; city staff; housing developers
with experience in Tukwila; cultural organizations; landlords; and children/youth. These
interviews and focus groups were conducted virtually from October 2020--December 2020.
Thirteen interviews and four focus groups were conducted in this portion of the public outreach

process. Feedback from these interviews and focus groups was used to inform the
recommendations outlined in the Draft TOD Housing Action Plan.
th
The City hosted a virtual community open house on May 12to discuss the findings and
recommendations of the Draft TOD Housing Action Plan, and to solicit feedback. Invitations
were sent to all stakeholder interview and focus group participants, community-based
organizations, all City staff, all City boards and commissions, and City Council. Invitations were
social media accountsand there were 23 non-staff attendees. Following the presentation, the
group was divided into smaller breakout sessions of 4 to 5 participants each, plus two room
facilitators who were a mix of Tukwila staff and members of the consulting team.
In the breakout rooms, participants were asked their reaction to the data presented relative to
their perception of Tukwila, how they envision the new housing needed to meet future needs in
the City, and what types of incentives they would be comfortable with the City offering to
encourage new housing.
Workshop attendees commented that they were surprised that Tukwila has a higher share of
low-income residents than surrounding cities, and that the percentage of renters who are cost-
burdened spending more than 30% of their income on housing is disproportionately
population.
Participants voiced concerns that there are not enough affordable multi-bedroom units in
Tukwila, which was akey theme heard during the stakeholder interviews and focus groups as
well.Participants would like to see current residents able to continue living in Tukwila without
being priced out and wondered if new housing units built in Tukwila would serve Tukwila
population (i.e., would new housing serve people priced out of other communities, or would it
serve local residents needing affordable housing?).
Attendees commented that parking requirements can quickly make a development project
infeasible due to the high costs associated withprovidingsurface parking stalls and the space it

takes up. Participants also noted that adjusting parking requirements needs to be a balancing
act--that parking supply is important to support the diverse mobility needs of the population,
and that localized parking analysis should factor into decisions about how much parking is
needed in an area.Many participants brought up the importance of open space in urban areas
and that it contributes to a higher quality of life and helps to build places that contribute to a
sense of community. There was support for more rooftop gardens and recreation space for
children.
Overall, participants noted that a lack of housing options and low availability levels seem to be
an issue across the region, and if nothing is done, housing needs could become more dire.
Overall, most participants stated that they love the community of Tukwila. They have seen
displacement happen and want to be able to continue living in their community without being
priced out.
A Public Hearing with the Planning Commission was held on June 24, 2021. Planning
Commissionmade amendmentsto the Draft Housing Strategies Plan and forwarded the
amended document to City Council. One public comment letter was received by the Department
of Commerce and is attached, and no members of the public provided public comment at the
meeting.
DISCUSSION
Recommended Actions
Below are the recommended actions contained in the Draft TOD Housing StrategiesPlan
showing thelanguage amendments madeby Planning Commission at the Public Hearing held
on June 24, 2021.By itself,Plan adoption does not implement any code changes. After
adoption of the Plan by the City Council, staff will look for opportunities to incorporate
recommendations into futurezoning code and city policy updates.
Objective A: Encourage Higher Density Development
A1Modify Unit Mix Requirements: Modify Unit Mix Requirements Focusing on Share of
.
2-Bedroom Units.
Next Steps:
Consider modifying unit mix standards in the zoning code to target and regulate
minimum thresholds of two-bedroom units, as opposed to limiting the share of studio
units, to support more family-sized multifamily units in the TIB Station Area.
The City could consider a requirement that at least 25% of new units in a project in the
TIB Station Area are 2-or 3-bedrooms instead of regulating unit mix by a limitation on
studio units in the current code.
Planning Commission recommendation: Keep as written.
A2Reduce Parking Ratios to 1.0 Stall Per Unit in HDR and NCC Zonesfor Studio and 1-
.
Bedroom Units and 2.0 Stalls for 2+Bedroom Units.and in URO District.
Next Steps:
The Cityshould consider reducing parking requirements to 1.0 stall per unit for studio
and one-bedroom units within the TIB Station Area.for all zones and unit types in the TIB

Page 4
Station Area.Reducing the parking requirements in mixed-use developments in the NCC
zoneor URO districtwillhelp support the development of larger units,make more
development feasible,and increase the amount of housing available in the TIB area.
Planning Commission recommendationand reasoning:Adjust recommendation to reduce
parking ratios to onestall per unit for studio and one-bedroom units, and twostalls for two+
bedroom units.One parking stall for a two-bedroom unit will not fit the community needs.
A3. Modify Parking Standards for 4-over-1 Development
Next Steps:
The City should eliminate the structured parking requirement as an option in the Urban
Renewal Overlay so that 4-over-1 podium prototypes can be developed in the TIB
Corridor. This change would encourage higher density development and mixed-use
development with commercial space and make development of new housing in the TIB
much more feasible.
The City should consider regulating 4-over-1 development in the zoning code without the
additional structured parking requirements restrictionsthat come along with accessing
additional density through the Urban Renewal Overlay.
Planning Commission recommendation and reasoning: Specify in the next steps that this
recommendation only impacts the structured parking requirements that come along with the
Urban Renewal Overlay zone.
A4. Adjust Recreational Space Requirements
Next Steps:
The City should consider revising the approach to regulating recreational space
requirements to regulate by lot area, rather than per residential unit.
The City could consider requiring that 10% of the lot area be dedicated to recreational
space.
The City could also create minimum and maximum recreational space requirements to
ensure that households in developments haveaccess to a minimum amount of
recreational space but also to ensure the requirements do not disproportionately impact
higher density development in the station area through a maximum.
The Citycould also consider developing a fee-in-lieu structure to satisfy open space
requirements. This fee-in-lieu structure would require a future study and analysis to
calibrate the fee rate to not be cost prohibitive to development. The fee rate should be
calibrated along with any modification to on-site open space requirements.
Planning Commission recommendation: Keep as written.
A5Reduce Step Back Requirements
.
Next Steps
The Cityshould consider removing or modifying step back requirements for development
sites adjacent to LDR zones.
https://tukwilawa.sharepoint.com/sites/departmentofcommunitydevelopment/DCDPlanning/Long Range Planning/Housing Action Plan/Council Memos/COUNCIL
ITEMS JULY/July 2021 PCD Memo.docx
52
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 5
If the City chooses to include some form of step back requirements, it should consider
requiring the step backs beginning on the fourth or fifth floor to reduce the negative
impact to development feasibility while also mitigating the impact of higher density
podium development on adjacent LDR zones.
Planning Commission recommendation and reasoning: Strike this recommendationfrom the
plan.Removing or altering step back requirements, especiallyfor parcelsthat border low-
density residential zoned parcels,may create abrupt transitions in density that affect the quality
oflife on single family parcels that border higher density zones.
A6. PromoteSite Assembly for Smaller Parcels
Next Steps:
The City could explore opportunities to support and negotiate land sales between
different property owners and a developer.
The City could work with a real estate broker to track data on properties that are
available for sale in the TIB Station Area to help inform land assembly strategies. The
City could then use this information to work with developers and help facilitate land
transactions that support assembly.
Planning Commission recommendation: Keep as written.
Objective B: Anti-Displacement and Community Stabilization
B1. Considera 12-year Multi-Family Tax Exemption (MFTE)Program
Next Steps:
The City should consider developing and adopting a 12-year MFTE program that
requires the provision of affordable units for the duration of the tax exemption.
The City could consider at least 20% set-aside requirement for units to be available at
80% or below AMI for the MFTE program.
The City should pursue further analysis and look to policies of neighboring cities to
determine the appropriate targets for the income requirement and affordable units,
before passing an ordinance to authorize 12-year MFTE in the TIB Station Area. The
City will want to ensure that set-aside targets and affordable levels are comparable to
other cities within the South King County market to make enrollment in theMFTE
program attractive to developers.
The City should conduct a financial analysis of the impacts of potential tax exemptions
Planning Commission recommendationand reasoning: Adjust the recommendation to spell out
Multi-Family Tax Exemptionfor clarity.
B2. IdentifyOpportunities to Increase Home Ownership
Next Steps:
The City should work withSouth King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP)
andregional partners to collaborate with the Washington State Housing Finance
https://tukwilawa.sharepoint.com/sites/departmentofcommunitydevelopment/DCDPlanning/Long Range Planning/Housing Action Plan/Council Memos/COUNCIL

Commission to develop area-specific down payment assistance funding and programs
for South King County.in the same way that is done with A Regional Coalition for
Housing (ARCH) in East King County, in Pierce County, and in Tacoma.
City staff could also work with community organizations, landlords, and housing
providers to encourage referrals to homebuyer education programs sponsored by the
Washington State Housing FinanceCommission and the Washington Homeownership
Resource Center.
Identifyopportunities to promote development of a wider variety of housing types
including, but not limited to, townhomes at diverse income levels including medium and
high income.
Planning Commission recommendation and reasoning:Remove references to South King
Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) in favor of more general language. Add a next
step that focuses on promoting the development of townhomes at a range of income levels.
Development of housing at all income levels is needed to meet the future housing demand in
B3.Support Community and Faith-
Housing
Next Steps:
The City should offer an expedited or simplified development review processes, so that
community and faith-based institutions.
The City could establish an ombudsman to act as a development point of contact for
non-experts or create a development guide that outlines the necessary steps and
actions for non-experts to walk through. The City of Portland recently created a two-part
development guide specifically for faith-based institutions who want to turn their
underutilized property into mission-serving affordable housing.
The City should offer reduced permitting costs, including fee waivers to lessen the need
for development expertise and financial resources necessary to fund predevelopment.
Planning Commission recommendation and reasoning:Strike this recommendation from the
plan.No special assistanceshould be given to these organizations that is not given to any other
affordable housing permitapplicant.
B4.ExpandTenant Supports
Next Steps:
The City should strengthen enforcement of fair-housing and anti-discrimination policies.
The City could explore additional requirements beyond source of income regulations to
support low-barrier application screening (e.g., Fair Choice Housingor Ban the Box
efforts).
The City could consider a good-landlord incentive program to benefit landlords (and
tenants) when properties routinely pass inspections. These types of incentives do not
need to have costs: inspecting less often or inspecting fewer units can actually save the
ation resources (e.g., funding for RentWell
programs).

Page 7
The Cityshould ensure language translation of tenant information for increased
education is available for immigrant and refugee communities.
The City could seek out funding or technical assistance to incentivize landlords to
improve their rental properties.
Planning Commission recommendation and reasoning:Add a Next Step to prioritize assistance
to landlords for rental property improvementto increase the quality of the existing housing stock.
B5. Monitorand Track Regulated Affordable Housing
Next Steps
The City should ensure that it has strong, ongoing relationships with, and proper contact
information for, all the mission-driven developers and affordable housing property owner-
operators in the City.
The City should work with these housing providers to ensure data sharing is possible. It
could consider setting up a reporting agreement with these organizations where they
provide affordability restriction information and expiration deadlines. Along with strong
partnerships with these agencies, tracking thisinformation would allow the City to create
a database that monitors upcoming expirations so it can prepare in advance of
affordability expirations.
The City should ensure it is familiar with the various funding sources that are available to
support recapitalization and rehabilitation of its existing multifamily housing stock,
including the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, HUD Funding (such as CDBG or HOME
funds), funding opportunities through the Washington State Housing Finance
Commission, and funding programs through the Washington State Department of
Commerce.
Planning Commission recommendation and reasoning:Strike recommendation from the plan.
This is time consuming, there is no plan for how to use this information,and they are concerned
thatstaff does not have the capacity to fit it into the work plan.
B6.Monitorand Track Unregulated Affordable Housing
Next Steps:
The Cityshould continue to support SKHHP in developing a sub-regional approach to
monitoring and tracking unregulated affordable housing.
The City could consider dedicating staff resources to create a database of information to
track potential low-cost market rentals and track information overtime.
Planning Commission recommendation and reasoning: Strike recommendation from the
plan. This is time consuming,there is no plan for how to use this information,and they
areconcerned thatstaff does not have the capacity to fit it into the work plan.
B7. OfferTools and Strategies for Housing Preservation
Next Steps:
The City should explore a policy or ordinance that requires landlords to provide
advanced notice when they intend to sell a property containing units that rent below a
certain income level. If the City has a robust database that allows it to monitor and track

redevelopment risk, it can be ready to contact landlords and work with them when they
are looking to sell. Strong relationships not only with these landlords but also with
nonprofit affordable housing developers who can be ready to act will be critical.
Advanced notice to sell can be helpful in a fast-moving market when cash buyers and
investors are present. The City
such a policy.
If funding sources and restrictions allow, the City should consider expanding the Human
property owners. The Department of Community Development should collaborate with
the Huma
are opportunities to tweak, expand, or pilot changes in the TIB Station area.
Planning Commission recommendation and reasoning: Strike recommendation from the
plan. Asking landlords for a notice of intent to sell puts a burden on themand the City has
no plan forhow to usethat information.
B8.Evaluatea Preservation Funding Program in Exchange for Affordability Restrictions
Next Steps:
The City could engage with regional affordable housing partnersthrough contractual
agreementsto explore the efficacy and funding sources of a preservation and
rehabilitation incentive program for existing housing.
The City could continue partnerships in South King County and work with other cities
and community-based organizationsto establish a regional rehabilitation fund through
the SKHHP.
The City shouldcouldpartner with mission-orientedacquisition funds like the REDI Fund
-Oriented Development Revolving Loan Fund.These funds
stand ready to deploy capital aimed at acquiring and rehabilitating low-cost market
rentals and create new, affordable units.
Planning Commission recommendation and reasoning:Amend Next Steps to specify that all
partnerships should occur through contractual agreements so that Tukwila maintains control
ofthe housing and remove specifications for acquisition funds.
B9.DevelopTIB Community Economic Development Strategies
Next Steps:
The City should include developing TIB community economic development strategies as
part of the upcoming Citywide Economic Development Strategy.

Next Steps:
The City should define staff and financial resources as part of the Department of
development framework and street plan for the future development area South of SR
518.
The City could consider allocating local fiscal recovery funds from the American Rescue
Plan to fund and support the creation of a development framework and street plan.
Having a development framework and street plan in place would make Tukwila more
competitivefor additional federal resources that might come from a future infrastructure
funding bill that could help support funding of pedestrian bridge that better connects
transit stations with current and future development opportunities.
Planning Commission recommendationand reasoning: Strike this recommendation from the
plan. Development should be provided as much flexibility as possible and a street network
would compromise that.
C2.Createa TIB Station Area Parking Strategy
Next Steps:
The City should explore a district parking strategy as part of a development framework
for the area south of SR 518.
The City should explore allowances in the zoning code to support shared parking
between development projects as part of a development framework.
Planning Commission recommendation: Keep as written.
C3. Connectthe Station Area to Parcels South of SR 518
Next Steps:
The City should continue to collaborate with the Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) and Sound Transit to improve pedestrian connectivity between
current and future transit stations to support transit-oriented development in the area
south of SR 518.
The City should collaborate with WSDOT and Sound Transit to explore opportunities for
funding through infrastructure funding identified in the American Rescue Plan and a
potential forthcoming infrastructure spending bill.
Planning Commission recommendation and reasoning:Keep as written.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Grant funded. No financial match needed.
