SUBJECT:
Development Agreement Procedures
ISSUE
Should the City adopt an Ordinance establishing the process, scope, and content of
Development Agreements?
BACKGROUND
As authorized by state law, the City regularly uses DAs to provide certainty in the development
process. Municipal Research and Services Center of Washington provides the following
narrative on what a DA is:
"A development agreement is a contract between a local jurisdiction and a person who has
ownership or control of property within the jurisdiction. The purpose of the agreement is to
specify the standards and conditions that will govern development of the property. The
development agreement provides assurance to the developer that he /she may proceed to
develop the project subject to the rules and regulations in effect at the time of approval the
development will not be subject to subsequent changes in regulations. Development
agreements should also benefit the local jurisdiction. The city or county may include conditions
(mitigation measures) that must be met to assure that a project at a specific location does not
have unacceptable impacts on neighboring properties or community infrastructure. The
agreement may clarify how the project will be phased, the required timing of public
improvements, the developer's contribution toward funding system -wide community
improvements, and other conditions. The agreement can also facilitate enforcement of
requirements, since it is a contract that details the obligations of the developer and local
jurisdiction"'.
DAs are specifically useful for large and /or complex developments, such as Tukwila South,
Westfield Southcenter and the future Tukwila Village site. The authority for the City to enter into
a DA is granted to the City under Revised Code of Washington 36.70B.170. DAs are legislative
acts, which means that the City has considerable discretion on whether to enter into a
development agreement or not.
DISCUSSION
The City Attorney's office is recommending that the City add specific language to the Tukwila
Municipal Code (TMC) Title 18 to codify the process for the City to enter into Development
Agreements and specify the scope and content of such agreements. The attached Ordinance
reflects the processes that are currently used by the City in the process of DAs under state law.
The Ordinance simply codifies the City's process within the City's Development regulations
(TMC Title 18).

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, ESTABLISHING
NEW REGULATIONS TO BE CODIFIED AT TUKWILA
MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 18.86 RELATING TO
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
WHEREAS, RCW 36.706.170 authorizes the City to enter into "development
agreements" with persons having ownership or control of real property; and
WHEREAS, in adopting such statute, the Washington Legislature made the following
finding:
The legislature finds that the lack of certainty in the approval of development
projects can result in a waste of public and private resources, escalate
housing costs for consumers and discourage the commitment to
comprehensive planning which would make maximum efficient use of
resources at the least economic cost to the public. Assurance to a
development project applicant that upon government approval the project
may proceed in accordance with existing policies and regulations, and
subject to conditions of approval, all as set forth in a development
agreement, will strengthen the public planning process, encourage private
participation and comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic costs
of development. Further, the lack of public facilities and services is a serious
impediment to development of new housing and commercial uses. Project
applicants and local governments may include provisions and agreements
whereby applicants are reimbursed over time for financing public facilities. It
is the intent of the legislature by RCW 36.708.170 through 36.7013.210 to
allow local governments and owners and developers of real property to enter
into development agreements.
1995 c 347 501, and
WHEREAS, the City Council concurs with the legislative findings referenced above;

consider the proposed ordinance; and

in certain circumstances as a means to consolidate numerous issues involved in complex
development projects into a single controlling instrument, benefiting the City, its citizens,
and members of the regulated public;

emphasize that the projects are listed in alphabetical order. This should make viewing easier for full
Council.
Sharon Mann inquired as to why mid -block crosswalks are not listed in the TIP. Staff explained that they
are working on mid -block cross walks for Tukwila Village and wanted to ensure potential solutions are the
right solution prior to implementing city -wide. Additionally, relatively small projects such crosswalks do
not necessarily need to be reflected in the TIP. Ms. Mann also asked about improvements to the 42
Avenue South hill area, staff replied that this project is included in the City's Capital Improvement Plan
(Project 40 -42 Avenue South) and is currently in the design phase.
Committee Member Hougardy asked clarifying questions regarding project locations. The Committee
inquired about the Tukwila International Boulevard speed study, which staff responded is anticipated to be
complete by August. The speed study will be presented to Connnittee and full Council as appropriate. Staff
will conduct public outreach on the study as necessary. Currently, a public hearing for the TIP is scheduled
for .Lune 18, 2012. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 11 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
C. Development Aiareement Procedures
Staff is seeking approval of a draft ordinance relating to procedures for development agreements. This draft
ordinance has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and the Commission recommends Council adopt
the ordinance.
The draft ordinance incorporates language into the Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) to provide greater
transparency and set expectations for such agreements. Essentially, it codifies current processes and past
practice and addresses broad sections of TMC Chapter 18 relating to the zoning code.
In response to a Commmittee question, staff stated that rezones cannot be included /addressed through
development agreements; however, boundary modifications /changes are allowed. UNANIMOUS

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM

BY: Brandon J. Miles, Senior Planner
DATE: May 18, 2012
SUBJECT: Development Agreement Procedures
ISSUE
The City Council has requested that the Planning Commission review and provide a
recommendation on a draft Ordinance which will provide specific authority for the City to enter
into Development Agreements (DAs).
BACKGROUND
As authorized by state law, the City regularly uses DAs to provide certainty in the development
process. Municipal Research and Services Center of Washington provides the following
narrative on what a DA is:
'A development agreement is a contract between a local jurisdiction and a person who has

ISSUE
Should the City adopt an Ordinance establishing the process, scope, and content of
Development Agreements?
BACKGROUND
As authorized by State Law, the City regularly uses Development Agreements (DA) to provide
certainty in the development process. DAs, which are adopted by either Ordinance or
Resolution by the City Council, allow the City to provide development projects flexibility from
adopted development standards. DAs are specifically useful for large and /or complex
developments, such as Tukwila South, Westfield Southcenter and the future Tukwila Village
site. The authority for the City to enter into a DA is granted to the City under the Revised Code
of Washington 36.70B.170.
DISCUSSION
The City Attorney's office is recommending that the City add specific language to the Tukwila
Municipal Code (TMC) Title 18 to codify the process for the City to enter into DAs and specific
the scope and content of such agreements. Staff is proposing that an Ordinance be adopted
which would add a new Chapter to TMC Title 18. This is purely codifying the City's past
practices. Given that amendments are being proposed to TMC Title 18, a referral to the
Planning Commission from a Council Committee is required per TMC 18.80.050.
In order to accommodate the Tukwila Village Project, staff would like to take the proposed
Ordinance to the Planning Commission on May 24, 2012 for consideration and a
recommendation. Once a recommendation is provided, the proposed Ordinance, with
amendments to TMC Title 18, will go through the regular Council approval process.

Commission for their consideration and recommendation as required by TMC 18.80.050.
