Our team worked with community members to center the plan around principles of a unique Aberdeen identity, economic prosperity, human health, environmental health, equity, and resilience, as well as a renewed focus on walkable neighborhood centers. We designed the final product to be an attractive, accessible document that staff and residents will find easy to use for years to come. Outcomes City Council adopted the Comprehensive Plan in 2022 Focused energy on downtown revitalization and housing expansion • Clarified a neighborhood centers and corridor concept as a guide for land uses and City investment • Re -envisioned land use designations for greater housing variety, options, and affordability Introduced a new streets classification system Facilitated difficult community conversations on tsunami and cargo risks to human health 1,000 200 000 3,0 4,000 k II !

These geographically distinct areas share assets and challenges, including a rich demographic diversity, exposure to noise and air pollution, and disinvestment in buildings and infrastructure. The effort seeks to elevate the voices of communities typically underrepresented in planning processes, with robust participation from an advisory committee formed of community leaders, advocates, and experts, rich multi-lingual engagement with local businesses and organizations, and in-person engagement events designed for easy access during people's day-to-day lives. Creative engagement in Burien at pop-up events in hair salons and grocery stores SEATAC HOUSING ACTION PLAN SEATAC, WA MAKERS led SeaTac's Housing Action Plan effort to address significant housing challenges and plan for SeaTac's current and future populations. Rising housing costs have made SeaTac unaffordable to its homegrown young adults, displaced renters, and locked aging homeowners in place. MAKERS led and advised City staff on robust public engagement that prioritized the voices of marginalized populations in this majority -non-white city, while providing opportunities for all residents to share their experiences. Residents, developers, builders, and non -profits informed the 12 strategies to increase housing affordability and variety. MAKERS worked closely with City staff to understand sensitive political issues and tackle achievable strategies. By focusing on values (e.g., housing/neighborhood design for sociability and privacy, livability for working class people), the team was able to develop urban center and design strategies that everyone could support. MAKERS identified particularly impactful and achievable code update actions.

The city has experienced rapid housing price escalation over the past few years and has an urgent need to supply a wider range of housing types to match growth and the incomes of its residents. LCG recently started work on Port Orchard's Comprehensive and Subarea Plans, as part of a different multidisciplinary team that includes MAKERS, which will expand upon the housing research to include strategies for economic development in several key growth centers in the city. LCG COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FRAMEWORK AND DOWNTOWN PLAN UPDATE AUBURN, WA LCG is leading analysis, population and employment forecasting, and strategic real estate advisory services for Auburn's Comprehensive Plan and Downtown Plan Update. For the Comprehensive Plan, LCG is first ensuring that all parties involved in the planning process have the most accurate information possible about the current number of residents and employees in the City, and also about future projections made by PSRC, the State, Counties, and others. LCG is also conducting a market analysis for the City's downtown. LCG will be focusing on how downtown can continue to move forward, by encouraging more active ground floor commercial uses, adding affordable housing, redeveloping remaining large -format commercial properties, managing a perceived parking under -supply, and addressing other issues. WATERSHED COUPEVILLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE COUPEVILLE, WA The Watershed Company, as a sub to MAKERS, is assisting with an update of the Town of Coupeville's comprehensive plan.

Section 2: Team and Key Personnel Experience and Capacity 9 Tukwila Comprehensive Plan Update Section 3: Organizational Approach Comprehensive Planning Expertise Our team's work on Tukwila's missing middle project and multiple comprehensive plans in the current update cycle will allow us to hit the ground running. Tukwila will benefit from our comprehensive planning expertise as well as our current work implementing the most recent Growth Management Act (GMA) requirements. Our MAKERS colleague Scott Bonjukian will also keep us informed regarding emerging potential changes through his role on Washington APA's Legislative Committee. While the City's project resources are relatively modest, our skills, local familiarity, experience, and approach will efficiently update the City's vision and create a user-friendly comprehensive plan to guide the community's future. Below are some keys to the project's success. Address current challenges and opportunities In order to effectively move forward on the vision, goals, policies, and key implementation measures, we'll need a coordinated assessment of Tukwila's evolving context - notably, what changes have occurred in the past few years (since the 2015 major update). The need to update the housing element and draft a land use element that incorporate state -led efforts to promote housing access and affordability, including housing targets by income level, will likely drive much of the update process, as will the need to infuse equity and climate considerations throughout the plan. Collaborative teamwork and efficient use of resources Our approach is to work collaboratively with staff and the community every step of the way. We recommend setting up monthly project team meetings to coordinate, with additional check -ins around key milestones. Given the limited time available for the Plan update, and the community's familiarity with the existing plan, updates will be fit within the existing plan structure, except for where consolidations of elements is proposed. The Comprehensive Plan, Middle Housing, and Transportation Plan projects can limit engagement fatigue by coordinating efforts and building from prior planning efforts. Communication with the Planning Commission and City Council Engaging the Planning Commission and City Council will be an important part of updating the Comprehensive Plan. Joint City Council and Planning Commission meetings can be an efficient way to keep both groups in the loop at key milestones. Later, the Planning Commission is often the most effective group to collaborate with in developing and refining goals and policies. Targeted consultant briefings and frequent staff updates are essential to keep these boards informed and proactively address comments or concerns along the way. Clear and effective graphic communication Clearly communicating key challenges, trends, and opportunities to decision -makers, stakeholders, and community members helps them understand potential plan implications. This may include conveying land use, housing, and issues related to equity and climate change through graphics or maps. Section 3: Organizational Approach 1G Work Plan Task 1 - Checklists and Gap Analysis A. Project kickoff and data request. Host a kickoff meeting to confirm the work program, schedule, roles, and communication protocols. Compile a request for relevant background information, including adopted plans, GIS data and maps, and other relevant documents. B. Council/Commission project kickoff. We suggest a kickoff meeting with either the Planning Commission, City Council, or both to introduce the team and ask public officials what aspects of the comprehensive plan update are most important to them. Task 2 - Public Outreach A. Community engagement program. MAKERS will prepare a broad and inclusive engagement program that builds upon on-going engagement related to the missing middle housing project and emphasizes reaching marginalized communities. Given budget constraints, the plan will identify priorities and opportunities to collaborate with staff or community representatives to expand the reach. • Community liaisons. We recommend building on the partnership with community-based organizations (CBOs) to be established through Tukwila's missing middle housing work. This is one of the most effective ways to reach marginalized communities, which will be critical given Tukwila's diversity and large immigrant population. • Interviews with key stakeholders. This task budgets up to six remote video interviews to include City Councilors, Planning Commissioners, or community stakeholders that can convey context around current issues, opportunities, and priorities in Tukwila. • Project website and interactive online engagement tools. This will allow people to participate in plan development at their own time and pace and be a great platform to acknowledge all related planning efforts. Road show. Meeting the community and stakeholders where they are can often be more effective in reaching a broad audience than offering traditional "town hall" style meetings. The road show would be a presentation that City staff and/or consultants take to pre-existing gatherings of community groups or other public agencies. • Major public meetings and workshops. We are assuming three major meetings will be conducted at key project milestones.

Initiate updates. Meet with staff to brainstorm key refinements to existing goals and policies. B. Audit plan. Review the Housing and Natural Environment elements, and sections relevant to Land Use in detail and complete a cursory review of the other elements. Evaluate the plan's overall appearance, usability, organization, as well as its goals and policies. C. Draft plan. • Plan organization. MAKERS will coordinate with the City on the reorganization strategy to avoiding duplicative effort and minimize unduly disruptive changes. • Template. MAKERS will coordinate with the City on any updates to the template, with a priority on consistent appearance and smooth workflow. • Land Use element. MAKERS will draft clear, concise goals and policies to work towards Tukwila's desired future. MAKERS and LCG will work together to update land use conditions as well as population, employment, and future land use capacity analysis, resulting in strategic updates to the future land use map. Related work in the housing element to identify racially disparate impacts will likely play a key role in and changes to the land use plan. Another component will be the close examination of the land use categories, which summarize the purpose, principal uses and densities, and implementing zoning for each designation. The updated goals and policies should also integrate community design preferences as well as zone - specific preferences. Writing good goals and policies MAKERS recently collaborated on Washington Department of Commerce' Housing Element Guidebook update and will draft goals and policies aligned with the following: "Goals and policy statements can be very specific if they are intended to describe a future accomplishment, or more general if they are intended to provide direction to later planning efforts and implementation decisions. Communities need to decide how specific they want to be in expressing goals and policies depending on the purpose and desired outcome. Regardless of the degree of specificity, goals and policies need to be clear and accurately describe the intended outcome. Many older comprehensive plans suffer from overlay vague policy language that offer minimal guidance to future decision- making. More specific policies have a greater likelihood to produce results that meet the desired intent." Aberdeen planning commissioners, elected officials, and community members discuss recommendations during a hybrid meeting. sae¢is os a u mos I I rl I � TOO Area ..�� Transit Center. 51$, Half Mile Rados j QuarterMae Radius Land Value per SF Q $25.30 -s ®$5-10 I I ti $10.15 $15-20 x•25 s30. 35 - $35•a0 4S - $45. 50 IbData MAKERS uses data -rich maps to analyze and communicate existing conditions. MAKERS visualizations use an appropriate level of detail for the subject and intended audience. Section 3: Organizational Approach 12 Housing Element. MAKERS and LCG will collaboratively prepare the Housing Element update, including needs and characteristics inventory that will meet GMA and Countywide Planning Policy requirements. As part of the inventory, the team will review the capacity for different types of housing in Tukwila and how they relate to the community's needs. The team will draft goals and policies to reflect local housing needs and address the region's growing demand for affordable housing. Key topics we anticipate are housing supply and variety (building on middle housing work), housing affordability, special needs housing, regional collaboration, and monitoring. • Climate Change and Equity. Building on the plan audit (3-5B) the team will suggest key areas for inclusion of policies related to climate change and equity throughout the plan. Watershed will lead policy input related to climate change, as well as any updates to the Natural Environment element. MAKERS will lead policy input on social equity, building on findings from community engagement with marginalized communities. D. Support plan adoption. Consultant team guidance at the adoption phase can help clarify concepts, answer technical questions, and aid in the refinement of goals, policies, and concepts. This will ensure internal consistency, point out implications of various revisions, remind decision -makers about relevant community feedback, and help ensure policy language is specific enough to be useful, but not overly restrictive. Task 6 - Development Regulations For Task 6 the RFP states "prepare and finalize the development regulations associated with proposed amendments to the plan". Code development is a time -intensive process and a quick review of existing code indicates many provisions are outdated or overly restrictive. Given this project's budget and timeline, we recommend focusing efforts to identify where policy revisions imply future code changes and which code provisions might be revised. This will assist staff in future code cleanup efforts, and/or inform the scope of a broader code overhaul. WEST EN 4 IFRY /REEK) 'eRV A Av =.4 F4 SCRMLL .

A major focus of MAKERS' land use element work is to make sure that the land use designations include a clear implementing zone (or in some cases, zones). We also emphasize crafting policies so they guide future zoning code updates, including permitted uses, development intensities, and design parameters. While it's important to give the policies "teeth", it's also important to avoid policies that are written as though they are regulations.

Section 3: Organizational Approach 13 Project Management MAKERS' proposes a management team appropriately scaled for each project, clearly delineates roles, and prioritizes excellent client service and efficient production. For Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan Update, Ian Crozier and Julie Bassuk will be the management team. Ian will serve as project manager and be the consistent point of contact for internal team and client communication and coordination. Julie will provide strategic guidance and oversight at every stage. Ian will be responsible for scope, schedule, and budget management. This will include real-time budget and schedule monitoring, monthly client calls, and monthly client progress reports. Ian and Julie are committed to proactively identifying and working through any challenges that arise, promptly communicating to address issues, and collaborating to find solutions. Schedule and Budget Control Proactive schedule management and dedicated focus on each project component (engagement, equity and displacement analysis, and code recommendations) will be key to completing this effort within the Commerce -mandated timeframes. Ian will work with the Project Team to schedule key meetings far in advance and ensure every meeting is efficient, collaborative, and productive. High Level Budget Breakdown Our suggested budget breakdown is outlined below. We are happy to refine this estimate if needed to align with the City's priorities and additional grant funding, if awarded.

MAKERS understands and will comply with the insurance, billing, and other terms detailed in Section 4 of the RFQ. % of Total Cost Monitoring and Budget Control One of the keys to completing an ambitious project scope within a tight budget will be collaborating to clarify expectations around responsibilities and deliverables during project scoping. Once underway, Ian will be responsible for real-time cost monitoring and budget control. He and Julie will endeavor to proactively identify any potential scope increases and/or cost overruns and will work with the City to find solutions. 10% 6% 18% 35% 6% 24% 100% Section 3: Organizational Approach 14 Quality Control MAKERS' prides ourselves on high-quality deliverables and completes multiple internal reviews before submitting products to the client. Ian will perform the initial review of each deliverable and work with the team to address revisions before delivering. He will draw on the expertise of other staff to review potential code recommendations, and evaluate the accessibility and user friendliness of our deliverables. The key to our success is allowing adequate time for editing, quality control, and response to feedback - we are committed to a robust review process and will work with the City to ensure time for this is incorporated in the work plan. Public Engagement Our team's approach to and methods for engagement with diverse populations and those with barriers to participation are described below. Specific suggestions to explore for this project are included in the "Work Plan" on page 11-13. Culturally Competent Engagement Because engagement with marginalized communities is a key practice area for our firm, we have pioneered methods to partner with and compensate traditionally underserved community members and organizations. We emphasize collaborating with CBOs and community liaisons and developing appropriate materials, such as clear, simple graphics that cross lingual boundaries. For Seattle Public Utilities' Shape Our Water and the Puget Sound Regional Council's Social Equity Technical Support project, we partnered with individuals with deep connections to communities of color and compensated individuals for their engagement work. In Burien, we are currently working with a paid community liaison and are offering stipends to focus group members. Tukwila Comprehensive Plan Update Equity in Engagement Intentional, targeted engagement that elevates underrepresented groups' voices was integral for Seattle's Judkins Park Station Access Study. Rachel worked with Vietnamese, Chinese, and Spanish community liaisons to hear community members on their turf, plug into the right events, and elevate their voices. For instance, she attended a Goodwill employee training and used live interpretation to speak with employees using many other languages. She then led a focus group with deaf, blind, and deafblind Lighthouse for the Blind employees using a tactile map and live interpretation. Attendees at in-person events held at times and locations (library and community center) that easily fit into people's everyday activities tend to better reflect the local population than events requiring a significant time commitment to attend. Community members provide input and share their lived experiences Section 3: Organizational Approach 15 Tukwila Comprehensive Plan Update Appendix A: Resumes of Key Personnel MAKERS IAN CROZIER JULIE BASSUK MARKUS JOHNSON Leland Consulting Group CHRIS ZAHAS JENNIFER SHUCH The Watershed Company NELL LUND MARK DANIEL Appendix A: Resumes of Key Personnel 16 Experience MAKERS, 5 years Education Master of Urban Planning, University of Washington, 2017 Bachelor of Arts, International Affairs, Lewis & Clark College, 2009 Professional American Institute of Certified Planners, 2019, #32157 Teaching Artist, Seattle Architecture Foundation 2017-2020 Peace Corps Volunteer, Paraguay 2011-2013 MAKERS architecture • planning • urban design 20 Associate Planner Ian brings relentless curiosity, creative strategic thinking, and a commitment to quality work to his projects at MAKERS.

DISCUSSION In 2019 the State Legislature allowed local governments to collect a portion of state sales tax for addressing affordable housing. The tax credit is in place for up to 20 years and results in approximately $165,000 per year in the City of Tukwila. Per State law, the funding must serve those at or below 60% of the area median income. The revenue from HB 1406 can be used for: 1. Acquiring, rehabilitating, or constructing affordable housing; and/or 2. Operations and maintenance of new affordable housing or supportive housing facilities; and/or 3. Providing rental assistance to tenants (only an option for cities with a population less than 100,000). Currently, the City of Tukwila allocates 90% of the HB 1406 funds to rental assistance and 10% to the capital projects fund run by the South King County Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP). The City of Tukwila is a founding member of SKHHP, which also includes Auburn, Burien, Covington, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Maple Valley, Normandy Park, Renton and King County. Prior to the pandemic, these agencies contemplated pooling a majority of the HB 1406 funds to a capital project fund to spur affordable housing and homelessness prevention projects in South King County. Currently, the majority of these cities contribute 100% of their HB 1406 funds to SKHHP's capital efforts. The Council deliberated — and ultimately decided — on the distribution of HB 1406 just as the COVID- 19 pandemic began to show significant impacts and the decision on the existing distribution was in response to wanting to ensure Tukwila residents financially impacted by the pandemic had adequate rental assistance. However, the City committed to revisiting the distribution once the pandemic waned. Tukwila Human Services staff has seen a significant decrease in the number of qualified residents seeking rental assistance and believes this is a good time to revisit the distribution of HB 1406 funds. SKHHP's housing capital fund is now up and running with the first two projects approved for funding. The City Council authorized its allocation to these projects by a resolution adopted in February 2023. During the original deliberation around the distribution of these funds, prior to COVID, there appeared to be some consensus around the idea of splitting the funds 70% to SKHHP and 30% to rental assistance in Tukwila. Staff believes this is the right balance of distribution of these funds, which would allow Tukwila to be a regional contributor to capital projects in South King County while retaining some funds for ongoing rental assistance. These rental assistance funds are in addition to the annual rental assistance funds included in the Human Services budget. 35 36 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve the new distribution of HB 1406 funds. The attached draft resolution would distribute 70% of these funds to SKHHP's capital project funds and to rental assistance in Tukwila. If the Committee concurs, staff is requesting this item go to the March 27, 2023 Committee of the Whole and then on to the Consent Agenda on April 3, 2023.
