CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
I INTRODUCTION
Under Washington State's Growth Management Act (GMA), King County and its cities must adopt
comprehensive plans that accommodate 20 years of anticipated population and employment growth.
Plans must provide for land uses and densities and public facilities that are sufficient to meet the needs of
this future growth. Within those state parameters, local governments have discretion as to how they will
accommodate the growth within their borders and the level of service in their public facilities that is
provided. Within the comprehensive plans, facilities must be identified that will be built during the planning
period to provide for growth, as well as a realistic financing plan that must be adjusted if funding is
inadequate. A key concept is concurrency— adequate public facilities should be ready when the impacts
of development occur. State law requires concurrency for transportation. Tukwila has chosen to
implement concurrency on water delivery, sewer collection, transportation and surface water facilities.
In addition to what must be contained within a 20 year comprehensive plan, the State mandates how
often the comprehensive plan must be updated. Jurisdictions must update their comprehensive plans at
least every eight years. Cities in King County last completed their plan updates in 2004. The deadline for
Tukwila's next plan update is June 30, 2015. The time frame was extended due to the difficult economic
climate created by the recession that started in 2007.
The Tukwila CFP includes: 1) the goals and policies of the Capital Facilities Element of the
Comprehensive Plan; 2) projects of the Capital Improvement Program and the Financial Planning Model
(CIP /FPM,) which demonstrates the financial support for the capital program; 3) the Capital Facilities
Background Report; and 4) the system plans for each of the public facilities.
The Tukwila Comprehensive Plan includes goals and policies for its capital facilities and explains the
public facilities and services provided by other entities to the Tukwila community. It is the six to 20 -year
plan for capital facilities that serve the land uses and neighborhoods described in this Plan. It guides the
development of the City's six -year CIP /FPM, which contains specific projects and funding to implement
the Comprehensive Plan. The CIP /FPM is updated in conjunction with the biennial budget.
The Tukwila Comprehensive Plan, including the Capital Facilities Element, is based upon regional growth
assumptions and a local target for households and employment. The Draft Capital Facilities Element
(2013) includes updated topics that are required by the GMA, and regional plans including the Puget
Sound Regional Council's Vision 2040 (adopted 2008), and King County's Countywide Planning Policies
(adopted December, 2012 with ratification expected Spring, 2013.)
This Background Report provides a review of State - mandated topics and regional plans and policies,
along with data on Tukwila's most current household and employment targets. This new information will
be used as the basis for capital facilities and land use planning in the Comprehensive Plan update. This
Report also explains the complex relationship of the various system plans and facilities, which are created
to ensure:
• adequate facilities and services for the 20 year future of the City,
• compliance with Federal and State mandates, and
• current best practice requirements and new standards for each line of service.

CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
II DEFINITION OF CAPITAL FACILITY
As it plans for capital improvements and public services, the City of Tukwila needs to clarify what should
be considered in capital planning. Per the GMA — Planning By Selected Counties And Cities Chapter
(RCW 36.70A.030(12)) "Public facilities" include streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road
lighting systems, traffic signals, domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, parks and
recreational facilities, and schools. The GMA uses the terms "Public Facilities" and "Capital Facilities"
somewhat interchangeably.
The State has also defined "Public services" to include fire protection and suppression, law enforcement,
public health, education, recreation, environmental protection, and other governmental services.
There is no specific rule as to what to include in capital facility planning, items to consider include the
purchase or construction, major repair, reconstruction or replacement of capital items such as: buildings,
utility systems, streets, bridges, parks, and heavy equipment - that are of high cost and have a useful life
of many years. Not all capital projects are included in a Capital Facilities Program. Temporary or
emergency projects are typically excluded, even though they may cost millions of dollars, as are small
projects, unless several can be bundled together to add up to a dollar threshold.
For the purpose of the Tukwila Capital Facilities Element and the CIP /FPM, the following definition is
proposed:
A capital facility is a major improvement, maintenance, replacement, or acquisition that costs at least
$40,000 (including the cost of new equipment necessary to make a project operational), and must meet
the following criteria:
• Have a life expectancy of 20 years or more,
• Result in an addition to the City's fixed assets, and /or
• Extend the life of an existing City -owned capital asset
Additional discussion of the capital facility definition is included in Appendix A.

CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
III RELATIONSHIP OF THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN TO OTHER
TUKWILA PLANNING EFFORTS
Preparation of a "Capital Facilities Plan" (CFP) is required by the GMA. In Tukwila this requirement is met
through the combination of the long -range Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan, the
CIP /FPM, and supporting documents such as this Background Report and the various functional plans for
sewer, water, parks, open space and recreation, etc. Capital facilities planning is guided by the overall
goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the specific revenue, spending and priorities of the
Capital Facilities Element, as well as the priorities of Tukwila's Strategic Plan (2012).
Tukwila has its annual budget linked to its six -year CIP /FPM, and its CIP /FPM linked to its Capital
Facilities Element. These links connect the short and long -term capital planning and the financial plan
that is needed to support City goals. The unique feature of the Capital Facilities Element is the tie
between the capital project timing (i.e. "when "), number ( "how much "), and location ( "where. ") The
Comprehensive Plan sets policies about operational versus capital spending, prioritizing capital projects
among the competing priorities of for example, transportation, parks, and general government and
creates a connection between the overall community goals, planned growth and maintaining adopted
standards for these public facilities and services.
The Capital Facilities Element of Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan is different from the Capital Improvement
Program because it looks beyond the six -year CIP /FPM window to years 7 through 20. With available
revenue, the six -year CIP /FPM rolls ahead each budget year with new capital projects. The CIP /FPM is
an integral part of Tukwila's regular budget cycle and bridges between the biennial planning and the
twenty year planning horizon.
The CIP /FPM divides projects into two categories, those projects utilizing general government funds and
those utilizing enterprise funds. The largest sources of general government funds are local taxes, grants,
developer contracts and bonds. Projects planned with these funds include residential and arterial street
improvements, parks, trails, fisheries projects, and buildings. As an example, the Tukwila Community
Center, and the Urban Access (Klickitat) Project were built with these funds.
In Tukwila, enterprise funds are used to maintain water, sewer and surface water services and the Foster
Golf Links. Enterprise funds are mainly generated through user fees, bonds and grants.
The CFP, which includes the Capital Facilities Element and the CIP /FPM, is informed by various utilities
and facilities systems plans (Water, Sewer, Parks, Surface Water, Fire, draft City Facilities plan), as well
as sub -area land use plans (Tukwila International Boulevard, Manufacturing /Industrial Center,
Southcenter Plan, Tukwila South, Shoreline Master Program), and resources that together represent the
planning and financing mechanisms required to serve the capital facility needs of Tukwila. These system
plans are adopted by reference as part of the Comprehensive Plan, and are consulted for information on
capital facility inventories, planning, financing and programming for the City of Tukwila.

CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
During 2012, the City of Tukwila developed a Strategic Plan to guide its actions and investments for the
following five to ten years. The process of developing the Strategic Plan included very robust outreach to
and engagement with the residential and businesses communities, as well as with City of Tukwila staff.
The Strategic Plan establishes high level aspirations and areas of effort that will inform the CFP by
clarifying the issues that are most important to the community. Tukwila's community's overarching
direction is to strive to provide superior services that support a safe, inviting and a healthy environment
for residents, businesses and visitors. As the Strategic Plan is implemented over time, its goals,
objectives and strategies will be reflected in City operations and facilities development. Key goals and
objectives have been integrated into this Capital Facilities Element, and will result in capital improvement
projects intended to improve public safety, enhance the appearance and value of neighborhoods, and
attract and retain businesses.
The following figure lays out the sequence and relationships of the variety of planning effort and
documents that are created to establish standards and facilities for growth

CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
IV MANDATES FROM WASHINGTON STATE
The GMA establishes the basic requirements to plan in a coordinated and comprehensive manner,
including planning for the development of capital facilities. Multi- County and county -wide plans
implement these requirements through their policies, and provide further guidance for local jurisdictions'
capital facilities planning and priorities. Within that requirement, Tukwila has the ability to prepare and
implement its own comprehensive plan. The following sections describe these intergovernmental
requirements and relationships.
Statutory Requirements for CFPs and Relationship to Other City Planning
The 1990 GMA guides planning for growth and development in the state. Per the GMA, local
governments in fast growing and densely populated counties are required to develop and adopt
comprehensive plans.
The GMA established 13 broad goals to guide the policy development of local comprehensive plans,
including:
Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be
provided in an efficient manner;
Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate to
serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use without
decreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards.
A capital facilities element is one of the five required elements of a comprehensive plan. It is intended to:
Identify capital facilities needed for the land development that is envisioned or authorized by the land
use elements that deal with land use in the Comprehensive Plan;
Ensure the maintenance of the quality of life for existing and future development by establishing and
maintaining level of service standards for the capital facilities;
Coordinate and provide consistency among various plans that deal with capital improvements,
including:
o Other elements of the Comprehensive Plan (such as the Utilities and Transportation
elements,
o Systems Plans that deal with other City utilities,
o Plans for capital facilities for the state or other regional governments, such as King
County,
o Plans for other adjacent cities, and
o Plans for special purpose districts;
Ensure the timely provision of adequate facilities that are required by the GMA; and
Document all capital projects and their financing.
Per the GMA, Planning By Selected Counties And Cities Chapter (RCW 36.70a.070) the Capital Facilities
Element shall include:
TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATED: July 15, 2013 Page 7
14
CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
a) An inventory of existing capital facilities owned by public entities, showing the locations and
capacities of the capital facilities;
b) a forecast of the future needs for such capital facilities;
c) the proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new capital facilities;
d) at least a six -year plan that will finance such capital facilities within projected funding capacities
and clearly identifies sources of public money for such purposes; and
e) a requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls short of meeting existing
needs and to ensure that the land use element, CFP element, and financing plan within the CFP
element are coordinated and consistent. Park and recreation facilities shall be included in the
CFP element.
Tukwila's Capital Facilities Element addresses these requirements as follows:
a) Inventory: Details of existing and future capital facilities are located in the individual
systems /functional plans, including: Water; Sewer; Transportation; Parks Recreation and Open
Space; Fire; Walk and Roll Non - Motorized Transportation; and Surface Water Management. A
generalized discussion and listing of public facilities are discussed in a later section of the Report.
b) Forecast of Future Facilities: Forecasts of expanded or new capital facilities that are controlled
by the City of Tukwila are described in the individual system plans, and adopted by reference.
c) Locations of Capital Facilities: Proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new capital
facilities that are controlled by the City of Tukwila are described in the individual system plans,
and adopted by reference. Additional policies are found in various related elements of the
Comprehensive Plan.
d) Six -Year Plan: Tukwila's CIP /FPM is updated annually, and describes capital projects that are
funded and that will occur over the six -year period. The 2013 -2018 CIP /FPM was adopted in
December, 2012.
e) Reassessment of land use: The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that adequate facilities
will be available at the time growth occurs. This Capital Facilities Element Background Report
includes new household and employment targets from the most recent State forecast and are
adopted in the latest King County's CPPs. In conjunction with the Buildable Lands survey, the
new targets form the basis for Tukwila's land use capacity planning and the capital facilities
systems plans.
Tukwila evaluates its capital facilities needs and projects regularly by preparing systems plans, and
conducting yearly review of and biennial adoption of the operating budget and CIP /FPM.
Tukwila policy requires reevaluating land use assumptions if funding for public facilities is inadequate to
provide the needed capital improvements that will maintain adopted community standards. If needed,
during the reevaluation process, there are several ways of balancing the demand for public services with
supply, including all or some of the following:
1. Using demand management to reduce demand for facilities;
2. Reducing City (levels of service) standards;
3. Reducing the cost of the needed facilities;
4. Changing the timeframe for providing the service; and /or
5. Working with King County or other jurisdictions to revise the growth target.
TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATED: July 15, 2013 Page 8
14
CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
As noted above in #2., the GMA mandates the use of levels of service standards for facilities as the basis
for public facilities contained in the CFP. Growth Management - Planning goals Chapter (RCW
36.70A.020.(12)). As a result, public facilities in the CFP must be based on quantifiable, objective
measures of capacity, such as traffic volume capacity per mile of road and acres of park per capita.
One of the primary goals of the GMA is to have capital facilities in place concurrent with growth. This
concept is known as concurrency or adequate public facilities. Tukwila has defined through regulation that
concurrency means that: 1) transportation, sewer, water and surface water facilities to serve development
are in place at the time of development, or within six years of its completion, and 2) that such facilities
have sufficient capacity to serve development without decreasing levels of service below minimum
standards adopted for the community. The GMA gives jurisdictions the authority to require concurrency
for all public facilities, but requires concurrency only for transportation facilities.
Regional Planning Requirements
The GMA further requires coordination among local governments, and includes provisions for regional
growth plans and multi- county and countywide planning policies (RCW 36.70A.210). These regional
planning efforts also inform Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan and CFP and relevant concepts from those
Plans and policies are described below.
Puget Sound Regional Vision
Description and Overview
The VISION 2040 Regional Growth Strategy and multi- county policies were prepared by the Puget Sound
Regional Council and adopted in 2008. Based on Washington's GMA, VISION 2040 and its multi- county
policies are integrated strategies and policies to guide development, environmental planning, and
provision of transportation and services in the central Puget Sound region. Vision 2040 emphasizes
sustainability and restoring the natural environment as the region accommodates 1.7 million additional
people and 1.2 million additional jobs by 2040, primarily into communities with regional growth centers, in
order to reduce growth in rural areas and on the urban fringe.
VISION 2040 provides specific guidance for the distribution of population and employment growth into
types of places defined as "regional geographies." The largest share of growth is distributed to
metropolitan and core cities, including Tukwila, that have designated regional growth centers, such as the
Tukwila Urban Center and Tukwila Manufacturing /Industrial Center. Centers are, or are becoming, hubs
for regional transportation, high capacity transit, public services and amenities. This development pattern
is meant to minimize environmental impacts, support economic prosperity, improve mobility, and make
efficient use of existing infrastructure.
VISION 2040 addresses public services. An overarching goal of VISION 2040 is to have sufficient and
efficient public services and facilities provided in a manner that is healthy, safe, and economically viable.
Multi- county policies address wastewater and storm water systems, solid waste, energy, tele-
communications, emergency services, and water supply. As Tukwila and the region plan for growth,
conservation and improved efficiencies in providing services and facilities are essential. VISION 2040
describes the benefits of conservation and sustainability, including financial and energy savings from
maximizing the use of existing facilities, reducing pollution, and decreasing waste.
TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATED: July 15, 2013 Page 9
14
CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
Growth and development in centers and compact urban communities require strategic investments in
services and facilities. Municipalities are identified in the GMA as the preferred providers of public
services. Urban types of services, such as municipal sewer systems, are not appropriate in rural areas.
Tukwila and its potential annexation areas are within the urban growth boundary.
Multicounty planning policies address conservation measures to increase recycling and reduce waste.
They also encourage more efficient use of water, low- impact development techniques, and renewable
and alternative energy. Additional policies address siting public facilities, especially regional capital
facilities. Jurisdictions and agencies should invest in facilities and amenities that serve centers. Facilities
should also be sited in ways that minimize adverse social, environmental and economic impacts.
King County Countywide Planning Policies — Policy Framework for King County Jurisdictions
Description and Policy Direction
King County's Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) support Vision 2040's regional growth strategy and
provide policy direction at the county and jurisdiction level with appropriate specificity and detail needed
to guide consistent and useable local comprehensive plans and regulations.
The CPPs address growth management issues in King County, and provide a further guidance for
coordinating local planning efforts within the county. In addition to the topics discussed under multicounty
planning policies, countywide planning efforts also include an analysis of fiscal impacts and include a
review and evaluation program. As part of this process, King County works with cities to evaluate future
land needs, including regular review of development trends and assumptions.
The CPPs provide a countywide vision and serve as a framework for each jurisdiction, including Tukwila,
in developing and updating its own comprehensive plan, which must be consistent with the overall goals
for the future of King County.
Updated CPPs were adopted by the King County Council in December, 2012. The update's intent is to:
1. Be consistent with current state law and recent decisions by the Growth Management Hearing
Boards;
2. Align the CPPs with the VISION 2040's growth strategy; and
3. Modernize the CPPs narrative to reflect the ongoing and evolving implementation of the GMA.
They have been restructured into the six chapters of Environment, Development Patterns,
Housing, Economy, Transportation, and Public Facilities and Services —to match the structure of
VISION 2040.
The CPPs call for the orderly provision of public services and utilities concurrent with new development,
so that minimum acceptable service levels are maintained. They emphasize economic vitality, climate
change and sustainability strategies, and integrating health concepts such as access to health food and
increased physical activity in planning.
The CPPs contain growth targets that allocate residential and employment growth to each city and
unincorporated urban area, which are to be incorporated in state - mandated comprehensive plan updates.
As required by the GMA, growth targets, and the ability to accommodate the growth, are monitored
through a periodic buildable lands inventory. Data on development activity, land supply, and capacity is
TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATED: July 15, 2013 Page 10

collected, analyzed and summarized in the Buildable Lands Report. King County and the cities evaluate
the consistency of actual development densities with current comprehensive plans and evaluate the
sufficiency of land capacity to accommodate growth for the remainder of the planning period.

V GROWTH ASSUMPTIONS AND TARGETS
Forecast
As directed by the GMA, every five years, the Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM)
prepares a range (low, medium and high) of possible population growth for the next 20 year period for
each of the counties planning under GMA. (Determining population — Projections Chapter (RCW
43.62.035) )
The 2013 targets reflect 2010 Census information and include consideration of the current recession's
effect on migration and fertility behavior. King County's actual ten year growth rate from 2002 – 2012, was
10.3 percent and is consistent with the trend for King County over the past five decades. The table below
contains the 2012 OFM projections for King County.

County officials, also by law, must select a 20 -year GMA planning target from within the range of high and
low prepared by OFM. King County's Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) a formal body
consisting of elected officials from King County, Seattle, Bellevue, other cities and towns in King County,
special purpose districts, and the Port of Seattle, then divides the forecast population into the cities,
towns, and unincorporated areas of King County. These specific local targets are incorporated into King
County's CPPs and are included in Appendix C.
TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATED: July 15, 2013 Page 12
14
CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
The King County CPPs contain the assigned targets for each of the cities and unincorporated areas for
2006 -2031. The housing target for Tukwila and its Proposed Annexation Area is 4,800 and 50 net new
units respectively. The employment target is 15,500 net new jobs for Tukwila and 2,050 for its PAA.
Existing Capacity
Tukwila is required to ensure that its planning policies and regulations are consistent with OFM population
projections. (Comprehensive plans — Urban growth areas (RCW 36.70A.110)). Its comprehensive plan
and development regulations must provide sufficient land capacity for development (RCW 36.70A.115). In
order to ensure compliance with the population projections, all affected agencies with land use authority
review their "buildable land" capacity. That means that the City reviews the vacant land, under - developed
land and zoning regulations to evaluate the available capacity for additional housing units and commercial
and industrial building square footage. The results of Tukwila's last review of its capacity in 2005,
demonstrated that there was the potential for 3,489 additional dwelling units and the potential for an
additional 16,192 jobs, which means there is a deficit of available land for 1,311 housing units.
2007 Housing capacity
At the allowable density within Tukwila's Low Density Residential Zone of 5 -7 housing units per acre,
there is a net capacity (from vacant as well as redevelopable land) for 1,163 additional homes, including
accessory units. The remaining 2, 326 units of existing zoned housing capacity is in higher density zoned
districts, either multi - family zones or mixed use districts that allow multi - family and commercial uses
combined.
Annexation – Additional Capacity
The Tukwila South annexation occurred in 2009. This 259 acre area is zoned to provide the City with the
capacity for 445 additional housing units and additional commercial square footage for 14, 204 jobs.
Two areas remain within the City's potential annexation area:
• The North Highline Potential Annexation Area, which is currently under consideration by the
Boundary Review Board, is designated as industrial by Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan. There is
no potential development for housing units within this area.
• The Orillia Road annexation area is designated as low density residential. This area is 52.24
acres with 8 existing homes located on steep slopes. The area is located between Interstate 5
and Orillia Road, a principal arterial. A rough capacity calculation for potential future housing
assumed 25% of the area would be set aside for public infrastructure such as streets and would
be undevelopable because of the topography. Applying a potential density of 5.7 units per acre'
to the remaining 39 acres provides a potential capacity for 254 new housing units.
The Tukwila South area and the PAAs provide the City with the potential capacity for 667 additional
housing units and 30,396 jobs.
1 5.7 units per acre is the average density being achieved with the City of Tukwila based upon an analysis
of LDR platting between 2001 -2005.
TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATED: July 15, 2013 Page 13
14
CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
In summary, the available housing capacity of 3,489, plus the capacity of 445 from the newly annexed
area of Tukwila South, and the capacity of 254 from the two remaining areas to be annexed, gives
Tukwila a total housing unit capacity of 4,185, which leaves Tukwila short of housing capacity by 665
housing units. Existing employment capacity of 16,192, with the addition of 14,204 from the newly
annexed Tukwila South, provides a total jobs capacity of 30,396, which exceeds the 2031 target by
12,846.
Historic Growth Trends
Housing
Tukwila can be characterized as being a traditional suburb. It has distinct residential neighborhoods that
have grown slowly through infill with additional housing over the last 100 years. Multi- family housing
developments came in the latter half of the twentieth century and are interspersed along the edges of the
single family neighborhoods. They separate the lower density housing from commercial and freeway
transportation corridors. The commercial areas are mostly single -story commercial, retail and
warehouse /light and heavy manufacturing.
Below is a table that shows the growth in housing units over the last 20 years. This information is
generated from the building permits that were finaled in the categories of single family (SF) and multi-
family (MF). The high number of single family demolitions in 2005 was due to construction of Sound
Transit's Link Light Rail system.

CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
The net housing development activity over 13 years shows 422 new single family homes and six new
multifamily units. (This period includes development within the Fire District #1, Riverton, Thorndyke,
Foster and Cascade View neighborhoods who annexed to the City between 1989 and 1990.)
The total number of housing units in Tukwila, according to the Census, in 2000 and 2010 was 7,221 and
7,679 respectively. This shows an increase of 6 %, mostly in single family units. Although there is a
discrepancy of 30 units between the Census data and Tukwila's Permit Center data, the information
demonstrates that there is very modest growth and change in the number of housing units within Tukwila.
There is a limit in the amount of residential growth that can in single family zoned districts because of the
limited availability of vacant and the allowable density. The housing unit target can be met in a number of
ways. Approaches to increasing housing unit capacity in residential zones include decreasing the current
minimum lot size from the current 6,500 square feet for single family lots, relaxing the restrictions on
accessory dwelling units, or increasing the density allowed in multifamily districts. In addition, the City has
policies of creating new mixed use districts in the City, which would encourage the transformation of
some of the City's existing commercial areas into urban places where commercial uses mix with
residential.
As noted above, annexation of the large Tukwila South area was not included in the 2007 Buildable
Lands Report, both it and the Orillia Road annexation area will provide about a half of the needed
additional housing capacity to meet the target.
Whereas the last two decades have been modest in terms of residential population growth, the future
decades could be significantly different if there is construction of higher density housing, which creates
hundreds of new housing units with each project.
With zoning and infrastructure in place that allows denser development, market forces ultimately
determine what and when new housing is built. Tukwila Village for example has the potential of adding
over 300 units of housing. Once zoning that allows additional housing is adopted, and amenities are in
place the Southcenter area, Tukwila's designated Urban Center, could also begin to provide additional
capacity as well as the housing itself.
Jobs
The Puget Sound Regional Council is the source of jobs information. Their data derive from the Quarterly
Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), which come from administrative records employers report,
by law, to the Washington State Employment Security Department (ESD). The unit of measurement is
jobs, rather than working persons or proportional full -time employment (FTE) equivalents.
Covered employment refers to both full- and part -time jobs in the labor force that are "covered" under
state and federal unemployment insurance laws and programs. Certain categories of employment are
excluded such as: self - employed individuals, active military, proprietors, railroad workers, unpaid family
workers, and all other workers not covered by Unemployment Insurance (UI) laws. Covered employment
represents approximately 85 -90% of total employment. The table below shows the covered employment
within Tukwila since adoption of the current Comprehensive Plan.

The data fluctuate by 9,877 jobs over the 13 years from a low in 2005 of 42,501 from a high in 1999 of
52,378. The chart above shows that there have been two cycles of growth and decline and that the
second period of growth had slightly lower numbers.
The capacity analyzed for the 2005 Buildable Lands Report showed an existing capacity of 16,162. That
capacity number is increased to 30,396 by the vacant commercial industrial designated land annexed as
part of Tukwila South. Tukwila has sufficient capacity to meet the jobs target of 15,500, which is a
reduction from the previous adopted target.
Summary
In 1995, the City of Tukwila elected to have a designated regional growth center as well as a
manufacturing and industrial center. These designations bring with it the requirement to prepare plans to
accommodate higher than normal housing and employment targets. In the 2013 -2030 planning period,
the housing and employment targets for Tukwila are respectively 4,850 and 17,550. The planning concept
is that most of that household growth will occur in higher density housing within a transformed
Southcenter neighborhood, with additional growth in the Tukwila Village area. The jobs will primarily be
dispersed among the Tukwila Urban Center, Manufacturing /Industrial Center and the newly annexed
neighborhood of Tukwila South. The maps in the Appendix B show how Tukwila staff anticipates the new
housing units and jobs will be distributed within Tukwila.
The amount of housing capacity currently available in both the incorporated City and future City areas
does not provide adequate capacity. The goals and policies of the existing Comprehensive Plan are
designed to accommodate additional housing. Staff anticipates that with the adoption of the Southcenter
Subarea Plan and the changes along the TIB corridor will result in sufficient additional housing capacity to
allow the 2006 -2031 housing target to be met for Tukwila.

CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
Targets, Capital Facilities planning and Comprehensive Plan goals
The targets discussed above are estimates of the number of new housing units and jobs that Tukwila
should strive to accommodate during the period through 2030. The targets for each of the cities and the
unincorporated areas are intended as a guide with some flexibility to reflect the limited capability of
individual jurisdictions to determine their precise rates of growth. Each jurisdiction must adopt policies and
regulations that allow that targeted growth to be accommodated.
The GMA requires that provisions be made to reassess the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive
Plan periodically. The intent of this requirement is to ascertain that adequate facilities will be made
available at the time development (as called for in the Comprehensive Plan) occurs and needed facilities
provided. If the anticipated funding for needed capital facilities is not adequate, the GMA requires a
reassessment of the Land Use Element to determine what changes, if any, need to be made.
The targets are the starting point for planning capital facilities, gauging needs and determining if level of
service standards can be met, and at what cost. They are estimates of the number of new housing units
and jobs that jurisdictions should be prepared to accommodate during the planning period. While the
targets represent a commitment to plan for and to accommodate, they do not obligate a jurisdiction to
guarantee that a given number of housing units will be built or jobs added during the planning period.
TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATED: July 15, 2013 Page 17

CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
VI LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS AND CONCURRENCY
The intent of the City is to provide adequate public facilities and services, as efficiently and cost -
effectively as possible, to serve both existing and new development. Facilities and services will be
designed to meet the service standards of the community and to support Tukwila's land use growth and
development goals. In situations where the public facility is not owned directly by the City, the City will
advocate for the provision of adequate services and coordinate with the responsible agency.
Level of Service (LOS) standards are crafted and adopted to measure the adequacy of services being
provided. The GMA requires jurisdictions to establish LOS for transportation- related facilities (RCW
36.70A.070(6)(a)), but LOS may also be established for other public facilities and services. Once an LOS
standard is established, the performance of a specific capital facility or service can be measured. A
capital facility operating at or above the established LOS indicates no need for improvements or new
facilities. A facility operating below the established LOS is an indication that there may be a need for
improved or new facilities. However, if funding is not available to bring the service back to the established
level, then there are a number of actions that can be taken. LOS can be reexamined to determine if it
reflects the desired community service level or development can be curtailed, or the City may shift its
resources and change the service levels among the various "products" that the City provides.
In the context of development and capital facilities planning, "concurrency" means that adequate public
facilities, services or strategies are in place to serve new development at the time the development is
ready to be occupied. Washington's GMA ( Comprehensive plans — Mandatory elements (RCW
36.70A.070(6)(b) and .108)) requires that facilities such as transportation and utilities are to be in place at
the time development is completed - or that a commitment has been made to complete the facilities within
ten years.
The GMA does not specifically require concurrency for facilities other than transportation facilities.
However, GMA goals, the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), subdivision statutes, and case law
encourage or require provision of a broader range of facilities and system improvements prior to
development approval. For instance, the subdivision statute requires local jurisdictions to find that
"appropriate provision" is made for "open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public
ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools
and school grounds, sidewalks and other facilities," prior to subdivision approval (RCW 58.17.110.)
Building code statutes require evidence of an adequate water supply before a building permit may be
issued (RCW 19.27.097.)
Currently, there are four types of services that Tukwila provides, or coordinates with other service
providers to provide, and that are subject to the requirement of the City's concurrency management
ordinance. They are streets, water, sanitary sewer and surface water facilities. For facilities subject to
concurrency, LOS standards are used to determine the need for such facilities, test the adequacy of such
facilities to serve proposed development concurrent with the impacts of the development, and ensure that
appropriate levels of capital resources are allocated.
For facilities not subject to concurrency, LOS standards are helpful as a management tool to see what
facilities and services may be needed in the future and to measure overall performance of City provided
services and facilities.
TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATED: July 15, 2013 Page 18

CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
Tukwila has chosen to not require parks facility and fire emergency staffing and response standards to be
subject to concurrency. That means that development will not be stopped should the City not be able to
maintain those levels of services as the City grows.
Impact fees are collected from applicants proposing new development, proportionate to its impact. Fees
are collected to pay for motorized transportation facilities, fire and emergency response and parks. Impact
fees may not be used to correct deficiencies, and must be applied to a scheduled project from which the
new development could reasonably benefit.
The following are Parks and Fire service levels for City of Tukwila that are codified for purposes of impact
fee assessment and or concurrency:

VII PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES INVENTORY SUMMARY
The following is a summary inventory of providers furnishing public facilities and services within the City of
Tukwila. The involvement of public service providers and private service providers results in a
complicated planning process for public services and capital facilities.
There are three different types of service providers serving the City of Tukwila:
1. Facilities and services owned by the City: streets, sewerage collection, water storage and
distribution, surface water conveyance and treatment, parks and recreation programming, police
and fire service, local judicial system, local government administration /buildings;
2. Facilities and Services Provided by Other Public Agencies and Private Corporations: electricity,
gas, telecommunications, schools, libraries, solid waste landfill, freeways, transit, air
transportation; and
3. Facilities and services provided by a consortium of public agencies: emergency dispatch, jail.
Facilities and Services Provided by the City of Tukwila:
Tables with inventories and maps of City owned Facilities are attached (Appendix D.)
Transportation
By far the largest capital facility in the City in terms of acreage, cost and overall impact are the City
streets. The street network is described in detail in the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive
Plan along with the goals and policies regarding this subject
Municipal Buildings and Non -Park Land
City services are provided to the citizens of the City in structures that are owned and leased by the City.
Among the necessary facilities are general office space, fire stations, a court, a regionally shared jail, and
utility and vehicle maintenance and storage facilities. There are also a number of miscellaneous
properties that are either vacant or provide a current or anticipated future public service. Among these
miscellaneous properties are three houses where temporary emergency housing is provided through a
City contract with a non - profit.
Parks, Recreation and Open Space
The City of Tukwila provides a variety of recreational opportunities to its citizens and visitors. In addition,
Tukwila owns and operates Foster Golf Links, and the Tukwila Community Center. A Recreation, Parks
and Open Space Master Plan, adopted on a revolving six year schedule provides more detailed
information.
Water Storage and Conveyance
Water service to the City of Tukwila is by the city's own water utility as well as, Highline Water District,
Water District #20, Water District #125 and the City of Renton. The main source of the water used by the
providers comes from Seattle Public Utilities (SPU), which obtains its water from the Cedar River
watershed and the Tolt River watershed. The water is sold by SPU to the Districts by direct contract or
TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATED: July 15, 2013 Page 21
14
CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
through the Cascade Water Alliance. Highline and the City of Renton also have water rights for ground
water withdrawn to supplement (SPU) water.
Common issues facing the City's five water purveyors are:
• Declining water consumption due to increased water conservation thereby causing customer
water rates to increase to cover the providers fixed costs of providing service.
• The changes in regulations from the Washington State Dept. of Health requiring providers to
increase the storage of water in reservoirs for emergency use.
• The Federal Government Safe Drinking Water Act requiring additional testing for various
substances which may be present in drinking water sources.
• The threatened species regulations for Puget Sound Chinook Salmon and Bull Trout affect
source water system operations thereby increasing costs to the water purveyors.
• The costs of replacing aging infrastructure because most of the piping is coming up on the end of
its design life.
Sanitary Sewer Collection
Wastewater services to the City of Tukwila is by the City's own wastewater utility as well as the City of
Renton and the Valley View Sewer District. King County Wastewater Treatment Division (WTD) provides
treatment of wastewater to the three providers. The wastewater treatment plant is at King County's
Renton facility located off Monster Road. Common issues facing the three wastewater providers to the
City are:
• The costs of replacing aging infrastructure because most of the piping is coming to the end of its
design life.
• Increased costs for the treatment of the wastewater.
• Finding uses for reclaimed treated wastewater.
• Disposal of solid material removed from the wastewater.
• Meeting the new and higher requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency and the
Washington State Department of Ecology.
Surface Water Management
The City of Tukwila Surface Water Utility provides storm water conveyance and treatment facilities
throughout the City of Tukwila. The Surface Water Management (SWM) program includes a
comprehensive maintenance program, watershed planning, engineering, public information, and financial
management. The program was designed to address existing and future stormwater quality and quantity
issues facing the City of Tukwila. As a specific function of government, SWM addresses non -point source
pollution, rainfall - related erosion and sedimentation, rainfall runoff management, and flood control.
Facilities and Services Provided by Other Agencies:
Non - Tukwila providers furnish public services and facilities to Tukwila residents and businesses. The City
of Tukwila, as a governing agency, is involved in these services through formal or informal agreements,
through franchise or contractual agreements or development permits, but has no direct involvement in
their operations and capital investments. The City of Tukwila's involvement in capital planning may occur
during comprehensive system planning, environmental review, or on the project level via development
review and permitting. With the exception of schools, most of the providers are regional in nature. Most of
TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATED: July 15, 2013 Page 22
14
CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
the facilities and services are utilities such as sewer, water, electricity, telecommunications, etc., and are
described and discussed in the Utilities Element.
Two of the most visible services that are equated with place /geography are schools and libraries. There is
a strong link between quality of life and the level of service received through schools and libraries. The
Tukwila community relies heavily on its schools and libraries and there is a strong collaboration between
the City of Tukwila and the Tukwila School District and the King County Library System.
Schools
Most of the City's residents are served by the Tukwila School District. Approximately 15% of the residents
are served by the Highline School District. Approximately five Tukwila students attend schools in the
Renton School District, whose District includes a large area and assessed valuation within Tukwila's
boundaries including a large portion of the Southcenter area (Tukwila's urban center,) and most of the
Tukwila South area. The Highline, Kent and Seattle School Districts also each have some portion of the
City of Tukwila within their district boundaries. Other than the Tukwila School District, only the Highline
District has a school within the municipal boundaries of Tukwila. See the Attached School District
Boundary Map in Appendix D.
Most of Tukwila's low density residential neighborhoods are "built out," that is, there is no more vacant
land for new homes at the current density. Future household and residential population growth is
expected to occur through redevelopment within portions of Tukwila International Boulevard, the Tukwila
Urban Center and Tukwila South. Student growth is expected to be very modest during the planning
period. Specific information on school district facilities including, but not limited to, enrollment, classroom
size, service standards, and financing, is contained in each school district's CFP.
Issues:
• Tukwila School District anticipates their capital facilities needs can be met through use of
portables, and selected upgrades as specified in the 2008 State Study and Survey, which is a
requirement of the State (WAC 180 -25 -025,) and prepared by NAC Architecture.
• Highline School District has adopted a CFP and within that document shows a forecast and need
to build an additional elementary school and expand the number of portables. Most of the growth
is anticipated to occur within the unincorporated areas of White Center /Boulevard Park and in the
City of Kent. In order to meet that capital need they have calculated an impact fee of $7,912 for
new single family homes and $3,101 for each new multi - family housing unit.
• Renton School District -- Future housing development is expected in the Tukwila Urban Center and
possibly in Tukwila South, which would impact Renton Schools enrollment. However, growth is
expected to be slow and delayed. This District is supported by significant property taxes from
within the City of Tukwila. The District also has an impact fee of $1, 308 (2012) for multi- family
housing units, which could potentially stymy the Tukwila goal of housing within its urban center.
• Seattle School District — The Seattle school system encompasses Tukwila's industrial center and
the Ryan Hill neighborhood. Tukwila's Manufacturing /Industrial Center is home to the new
Aviation High School, a Highline School District Facility. The undeveloped portions of the Ryan
Hill neighborhood do not have sewer and water service and therefore have limited growth
potential within this planning period.
TUKWILA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATED: July 15, 2013 Page 23

CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
• Kent School District — A small segment of the Tukwila South and in the Orillia Road PAA are
within the Kent District. The District has an impact fee system to assist in paying for its facilities.
During the environmental review for the Segale Properites' Tukwila South Development, there
were no comments from either the Renton or Kent School systems about the estimated impact to
their facilities from the possible projected student growth.
Library Services
Tukwila's library needs are provided for by the King County Library System (KCLS) which has a small
branch located in Tukwila, as well as the Library Connection @Southcenter, also considered to be a
"small" library per King County's Library system. Due to KCLS's special services such as the Traveling
Library Center (TLC), Tukwila residents have access to a greater service area (larger than the city
boundaries).
Planned and recent improvements include:
• Library Connection a(�,Southcenter -- Storefront improvements and interior enhancements at the
Library Connection @ Southcenter were completed in January 2012. In addition to increasing
square footage, interior enhancements include new furniture, carpet and paint.
• Foster Library The planning and design process is underway for a new 10,000 square foot library
to be located in Tukwila Village. The new library will be twice the current size and include more
materials, computers, space for children and teens and a community meeting room.
Transit
Transit services for the City of Tukwila is provided by King County and Sound Transit. The role of transit
services is discussed in greater detail in the Transportation Element.
River Flood Protection
All King County property tax payers are assessed a tax to support the flood protection measures of the
King County Flood Control District. There are four river basins within the County. Specific measures are
built and maintained along each of these rivers to protect property from river floods. This function /facilities
and service is an integral part of the public safety and economic health of Tukwila. The Green River is
one of the major environmental features and assets of the City yet the flooding protection facilities are
managed and certified by other agencies.
Issues:
• Coordination on flood prevention facilities is primarily through the City's Surface Water program.
All of the City's surface water that is not recharged into ground water, flows into the Green River.
• A significant amount of City resources are spent coordinating flood protection measures. The City
assumes a role of advocating for City health and benefit as well as supplementing when the
District's efforts are not sufficient.
• With global climate change, warmer and wetter will mean the potential for bigger costs and higher
potential flooding impacts from this environmental feature of the City or from the surface water
features in the City that flow into the river.

Jail
SCORE (South Correctional Entity) is a misdemeanor jail in Des Moines, Washington serving the
confinement needs of seven member cities, including Tukwila, and a number of contract agencies with a
total capacity of 813 inmates. The facility opened in September 2011 and will provide long -range capacity
needs for the next 20 years. The jail provides programming space for education, community transition
and job training.
Emergency Dispatch
Valley Communications Center is the regional 9 -1 -1 Center for South King County. It is located in Kent,
Washington and provides emergency communications services to communities of South King County.
Valley Com, as it is commonly known, is responsible for answering emergency 9 -1 -1 calls and
dispatching resources such as police officers, firefighters and paramedics to citizens requiring assistance.
Its service area spans the area from Seattle's southern border to a few blocks south of the Pierce County
line and from Vashon Island to the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range. In 1976, the mayors of the
Cities of Auburn, Kent, Renton and Tukwila entered into an Interlocal Agreement to consolidate their
police and fire dispatching services into one organization. In 2000, the City of Federal Way was added as
a partner /owner and on August 23, 2000, the Valley Communications Center Public Development
Authority was created for the purpose of financing the construction of a new state -of- the -art 24,000
square foot facility. On June 23, 2002, Valley Com moved into the new facility with planned space for 20
years of operations.

CAPITAL. MIMES E MEN1 BACKG ONO REPORT
VIII APPENDIX
A. Capital Facilities Definition:
For the purpose of the Capital Facilities Element and Planning, a capital facility is a major improvement,
maintenance, replacement, or acquisitions that costs at least $40,000 (including the cost of new
equipment necessary to make a project operational), and must meet the following criteria:
• Have a life expectancy of ten years or more,
• Result in an addition to the City's fixed assets, and /or
• Extend the life of an existing City -owned capital asset
Not all capital projects are included in the Capital Facilities Program. Temporary projects are excluded as
are small projects, unless several can be bundled together to add up to $40,000.
Examples of capital facilities are:
• Land or site purchases or development
• Building or structure purchases and /or construction
• Purchase and /or construction of infrastructure such as streets, roads, highways, sidewalks,
street /road lighting systems, traffic signals, storm and sanitary sewer systems, solid waste
facilities such as landfills or recycling centers, parks and recreational facilities
• Major remodeling or maintenance of infrastructure
• Major design, professional consulting, engineering, and construction services associated with a
capital project
• Purchase of major computer systems.
Capital projects do NOT include rolling stock, routine maintenance, routine computer purchases, or
environmental cleanup.
Background
Why does the City need a definition of a capital facility? The State of Washington requires that Tukwila
prepare a capital facility plan. Public facilities and services2 are listed; however, within those categories,
a monetary and definitional boundary is not provided. In order to manage the decision making process,
agreement on scope is helpful.
2 RCW 36.70A.030 (12) "Public facilities" include streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting
systems, traffic signals, domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, parks and recreational
facilities, and schools.
(13) "Public services" include fire protection and suppression, law enforcement, public health, education,
recreation, environmental protection, and other governmental services.

CAPITAL FACULTIES ELEMENT BACKGROUND REPORT
The City makes thousands of purchases over the course of a year and over the course of its existence.
The primary purpose of the Capital Facility Plan is to ensure that the City is planning and budgeting to
meet its adopted level of service standards.
The State has defined capital facilities3 for cities planning under the GMA when levying an additional tax
on the sale of real property.
The definition of a capital facility is diverse even among our surrounding cities.
Issaquah: $5,000 ( structure or equipment that generally cost at least $5,000 and has a useful
life of five years or more)
SeaTac: $25,000 (minimum cost of and a useful life of at least 10 years)
Renton: as a general definition, structures, improvements, pieces of equipment or other major
assets, including land. City capital facilities are provided by and for public purposes and services.
A wide range of public facilities and equipment should be considered in capital planning. While there are
no hard and fast rules, capital planning deals with the purchase or construction, major repair,
reconstruction or replacement of capital items such as: buildings, utility systems, streets,
bridges, parks, and heavy equipment which are of high cost and have a useful life of many years.
Capital expenditures are sometimes difficult to identify. A fire truck or a new computer, thought of as a
very costly capital item in a small community, may be considered in the operating budget in a larger
jurisdiction. In contrast, operating activities generally have a low cost per unit and recur on a frequent
or regular basis.
Capital expenditures are usually determined based on their projected life span and initial cost estimates.
In some jurisdictions a capital expenditure may be an item that has an initial cost greater than $2,500 and
a useful life of five or more years. Other communities might set initial cost limits at $20,000 and life span
expectations at a minimum of ten years.
Capital expenditures can be considered costs other than those covered in regular operating budgets for
the following three major categories:
1. Infrastructure (roads, bridges, parks, facilities [including building systems and remodeling], sewers,
solid waste, water systems);
2. Heavy equipment and vehicles; and
3. Office equipment (computers, calculators, furniture).
3RCW 82.46.035(5) "capital project" means those public works projects of a local government for
planning, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, or improvement of
streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic signals, bridges, domestic water
systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, and planning, construction, reconstruction, repair,
rehabilitation, or improvement of parks.
