Comprehensive Plan Update Briefing Nancy Eklund, AICP, Long -Range Planning Manager, DCD, introduced Neil Tabor, AICP, Senior Planner, DCD, who will be working on the Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) Update. Staff briefed the PC on the Comp Plan Update. It was noted that DCD has increased staffing and has approximately 1.6 full time employees (FTE) who will work on the Comp Plan Update. Additionally, consultants will be hired to work on the Comp Plan Update, which will be funded by two grants: Periodic Update and Middle Housing. These were awarded to DCD from the State of Washington, Commerce Department. The Middle Housing grant will focus on completing an analysis of the feasibility of offering middle housing densities in the City, as well as complete several required elements of the Comp Plan Update. The City has advertised and received Statements of Qualifications for this work from consultants and staff will begin the interview process by mid-December. The focus for the Middle Housing grant will be on: - Rectifying historic lack of equity on how resources were distributed. - Analysis of racial equity in housing impact on the regulatory framework. Tukwila City Hall • 6200 Southcenter Boulevard • Tukwila, WA 98188 • 206-433-1800 • Website: TukwilaWA.gov 1 PC Meeting 12/8/22 Page 2 - Middle housing and introducing a wider range of density within single family areas, such as low density and medium density residential development. A portion of the Middle Housing grant funding will be used to contract with community-based groups to receive input from them on housing and past disparities. The housing portion of the Comp Plan Update is starting in January and recommendations are due by June 30, 2023. The focus for the Periodic Update of Comp Plan grant will be to amend and update the plan to make it current, as well as to ensure it is consistent with State and Regional guidance. This guidance consolidates input from the legislature (through the Department of Commerce), the King County Countywide Planning Policies, and the Puget Sound Regional Council's Vision 2050, etc. The entire Comp Plan Update is due by December 2024 (although we will need to wrap up work on the plan much earlier in the year to enable the Council to focus on developing the City's 2025-26 budget). Community outreach with City departments, boards and commissions has started and is ongoing. There's a lot of work to be done in the coming months. Staff asked the PC several questions about the Comp Plan Update to which the PC provided feedback. The PC expressed some concerns and made some recommendation, such as: - Potentially spending a lot of time creating a recommendation for middle housing without knowing the State requirements. The City should be sure to use information derived from previous housing analysis (funded through grants in the past). - It's important to communicate with builders and developers regarding their input and concerns. A need to define policies and economic goals. Ask the residents what they want. - Find out what type of housing and development people want and update the housing element of the plan to reflect that. Have a clear vision. - Have options for townhomes, duplexes, ownership, and fee simplification. - Have ADU's instead of duplexes and triplexes. - Waive variances. - Identify areas for high-density, multi -family housing. - Frequent meetings and updates. - Subsidizing housing research. - Etc. Bylaws Review Staff walked through the proposed revisions to the Bylaws with the PC. The PC provided input and made recommendations and/or asked clarifying questions. Staff has made changes to the bylaws to reflect items for which there was not comment; several questions and comments will require talking with the City Attorney. Then staff will return to the PC to complete a final review and adopt the Bylaws.

Rules • Meetings declared open and public. • All Meetings of the Governing Body Shall be Open and Public — Gavel to Gavel • All Persons Shall be Permitted to Attend any Meeting of the Governing Body, Except as Otherwise Provided by Law • The Purpose of the OPMA is to Allow the Public to View the "Decision-making Process" OvW 4 Open Meetings OvW Important Definitions: • Meetings — All meetings under State Statute are considered Regular Meetings if codified at a regular date, place, and time. Any other meeting is considered a Special Meeting.

Public Hearings • Public Meetings: public comment only taken at or before regular meeting which final action is taken or is otherwise required by state law • Public Hearings: public comment taken before a significant decision is made in order to provide due process or when a specific statute or regulation requires one. • Purpose: one-way communication for members of public to provide testimony to governing body on the record. 11 9 Public Records Act Chapter 42.56 RCW • PRA is "a strongly worded mandate for broad disclosure of public records."
