Community Renewal
RCW35.8i
• Law allows the creation of urban renewal areas
within cities to revive areas struggling with crime
and blight.
• The purpose of this legislation is to eliminate
social liabilities, increase sound growth, reduce
crime and improve livability.
• Redevelopment of these areas can occur
through acquisition of blighted areas or portions
thereof; demolition and removal of buildings and
improvements; making land available for
development or redevelopment by private
enterprise or public bodies.
Community Renewal Con't
Community Renewal has been a successful
strategy for crime reduction and revitalization. If
the property can not be acquired through
negotiation, the law gives the City the power to
condemn the property for fair market value.
In 2000 the City designated a community
renewal area, which encompasses the area
between 140th and 146th of Tukwila
International Blvd.
This was the process through which the City
acquired the land for Tukwila Village, which is set
to start construction very soon.

Budget and Strategic Planning
Last year the Council allocated funds to
increase the City's holding in the Community
Renewal Area.
This showed foresight on the part of the
Council, as through the City's strategic
planning process it was identified that
improving TIB was a high priority for the
community.
Site Selection
Staff has been working to determine which
sites give the City the biggest impact if
acquired .
This analysis included, PD, Fire, Code
Enforcement and Economic Development.

Development Potential
• Larger areas have more development
potential as well as those areas adjacent to
new development.
• Top three sites for police calls are also
adjacent to the Tukwila Village site -
allowing for synergy of development.
• Community Renewal boundary allows for
acquisition to the corner. Creating a larger
area for development.
