TO: Mayor Steve Muller
FROM: Jack Pace, DCD Deputy Director~
SUB J: Proposed Adoption of the InternatiOnal Building Cede
DATE: May 5, 2004
Background
In 1994, the founders of three non-profit code development orgatfizations consolidated their
efforts and formed the International Code Council, Inc. (I.C.C.) The goal was to develop a set
of codes without regional limitations. Code enforcement officials, architects, engineers,
designers and contractors could now work with a consistent set of requirements throughout the
United States. Manufacturers could concentrate their efforts into research and development
rather than designing to three (or more) different standards and could focus on being more
competitive in our global markets.
In 1999, the I.C.C. achieved its goal of developing an inventory of model codes to regulate all
aspects of the built environment. This unified system will lead to consistent code enforcement,
improve safety in the built environment and will promote the ongoing maintenance of existing
buildings and stmctm'es.
WashingtOn State will be one of 44 states in which one Or_more 9f t_he. In~temational Codes is
enforced. The 2003 edition 0fthe International Building Code (I.B.C.) International Residential
Code (I.R.C.) International Mechanical Code (I.M.C.) and the International Fire Code (I.F.C.)
represent the International Codes that have been adopted by the State Building Code Council
(S.B.C.C.). These codes and state-wide amendments have been adopted by the S.B.C.C. and are
scheduled to go into effect in all cities and counties July 1, 2004.
In keeping with the original vision of a consistent and unified system of codes and enforcement,
the adoption of the International codes by the jurisdiction should be made without local
amendments. However, the code is silent on some topics and delegates authority to the
jurisdiction in others. For this reason, there will be additions to the administrative chapter of the
codes.

City Council Memo
May 5, 2004
Page 2
A matrix is attached which outlines the changes that will have to be made to our existing
Tukwila Municipal Code when we adopt the new International Building Code. All previous
editions of the Uniform Building Code provided a fee schedule within the administrative section
of the code. A schedule of fees has not been provided in the I.B.C. or the I.M.C. Consequently,
it will be necessary to adopt separate fee schedules. The proposed fee schedules will maintain
our current method of caiculating permit and plan review fees and will not change our process.
However, there will be an increase in the cost of permits. A fee comparison table (1997 U.B.C.
vs. proposed fees) and based upon actual projects is attached.
Recommendation
On April 13, 2004 the Community Affairs and Parks Committee reviewed the proposal and
unanimously recommended adoption of the International Building Code. If the Council would
like a public hearing, such hearing could take place at the June 7 Council meeting and based on
public comments, adoption could take place at the June 21, 2004 meeting. If no such hearing is
required, adoption could take place at the May 17, 2004 Council meeting. The new codes will be
in effect July 1, 2004. A draft of the adopting Ordinance is attached for your review as
(Attachment A).

16.04.020 State Building Codes
Adopted. Effective July 1, 2004, the
following codes are adopted by
reference as if fully set forth:
1. The International Building Code,
2003 Edition, and referenced
standards hereto as published by
the International Code Council,
Inc. and as adopted by the State of
Washington in WAC 51 -50 -003.
The following appendices of the
International Building Code are
specifically adopted.
Appendix C, Agricultural
Buildings.
Appendix E, Supplementary
Accessibility Requirements,
Sections 101 through 106.
.
Appendices of the Code are not mandatory
unless specifically referenced in adopting
ordinance.
This appendix includes provisions
exclusively for agricultural buildings.
Sections 101 through 106 of Appendix E is
adopted by the State. — This is for
concurrence with the State Barrier Free
Code.
Appendix I, Patio Covers.
Section 101.2 of the International
Building Code, 2003 Edition, is
amended to add exception # 3:
"Work performed by the City of
Tukwila and located in City of
Tukwila right -of -ways, work
performed by Washington State
Department of Transportation and
located in said right -of way to include
public utility towers and poles,
mechanical equipment not specifically
regulated in the State code, and
hydraulic flood control structures.
Structures or buildings that are
intended to be used as any Occupancy
classification of the State Building
code, are not exempt."
This appendix provides a definition for
patio covers and provisions for the
regulation thereof. No such definition
exists in the body of the building code,
therefore any building code application to
patio covers (without this appendix) would
be subjective. This is intended to provide
guidelines for residential patio covers that
are not outlined in the main body of the
code.
The Uniform Building Code provided for
exemption from the scope of the building
code, that work performed in public right
of ways. The International Building Code
implies that a building permit is not
required for work performed in public
right -of -ways, but it is not clear. The
addition of exception #3 will clarify, who,
what, and when work is exempt from the
general scope of the building code.
•
Section 101.4.1 is not adopted.
Section 101.4.4 is not adopted.
Section 113.4 is amended to include:
The violation of any provision , or
failure to comply with any of the
requirements of this chapter, shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of
T.M.C. Chapter 8.45, "Enforcement ".
2. The International Residential Code
(for One -and Two Family
Dwellings), 2003 Edition,
published by the International
Code Council, Inc. — Chapters 25
through 42 are not adopted.
101.4.1 is reference to the International
Electrical Code that has not been .adopted
by the State.
101.4.4 is reference to the International
Plumbing Code that has not been adopted
by the State
Reference to T.M.C. Chapter 8.45 is .
intended to clarify the language of Section
113.4 ... shall be subject to penalties as
prescribed by law."
The residential requirements of the
building code have been published as a
separate volume. Therefore it is hereby
referenced for adoption. Chapters 25
through 42 refer to the International
Electrical and Plumbing codes and were
not adopted by the State.

International Association of
Plumbing and Mechanical Officials
( I.A.P.M.0), and as adopted by the
State of Washington in Chapters

Appeals is hereby authorized to

subject to appeal as specified in
such Code.
Building Division policy has been to
exclude residential (one and two family
dwellings) from the requirements of a
building permit to reroof a dwelling. This
policy was intended to relieve the
homeowner of the permit process and the
related additional cost. The addition of
item number 10 is necessary because the
International Residential Code includes
reroofing in the body of the code.
The International Plumbing Code was not
adopted by the State. Plumbing regulations
are to continue under the previous model

Present: Pam Linder, Chair; Joe Duffle, Dave Fenton
Nick Olivas, Don Tomaso, Bob Benedicto, Joyce Trantina, Kathy Stetson, Steve
Lancaster, Bruce Fletcher, Paul Surek, Lucy Lauterbach
1. International Building Code Adoption Bob Benedicto is the Building Official, and he
discussed how the City has been using the 1997 Building Code as it was the last one adopted by
the State. The new International Building Code (IBC) was adopted by the State after a
committee the mayor served on recommended it over another version of building code. The
Committee asked why only 44 states were adopting the IBC. Bob said the initial code should be
adopted without amendments, though later the City can make some changes in local code if they
are more strict than the IBC. He went through with the Committee the effects the new code will
have on our codes.
Kathy and Joyce then went through three other Codes that will supplement the IBC. The first was
the Nuisance and Housing section, relating to trash, weeds, graffiti, and landscaping
requirements. Kathy said the new language will allow her to require private landowners to clean
up graffiti on their property. The Committee approved of those additions.
A second new section addressed Junk Vehicles. The provisions in the civil code are vague, and
would be replaced by language that defines what a junk vehicle is, and would deal with the
proliferation of junk vehicles on private property. Joe asked if the City would enforce the
regulation, and Steve said not all, but many cars that need to be removed, would be under these
new provisions. The Committee asked that the definition of a junk vehicle be included when this
issue goes to Council.
A third section addressed where cars and trailers can legally be parked on a property. This
section would prevent cars from parking on front lawns, requiring instead an approved durable
surface, which would be defined. Pam wanted to know what Sea Tac did when they passed a
similar change last year. Kathy said it was likely they would educate people about this
~equiremant for a year before they started charging people with removing vehicles. Pam L
pointed out there is a house in her neighborhood that does not have a driveway due to the narrow
width of the property (many properties in Allentown/Duwamish are narrow but deep). This
person cannot park in a driveway and would be subject to removal. She did not support this
portion.of the proposed changes as they are now. The Committee wanted to know if there wa
enough interest in this last proposal. If so, they would send it back to Committee for further
work. R~eeommend IBC, Nuisance, Junk Cars, and Improper Parking Issues to COW, with
one member not yet a~reein~ to su00ort the Improper Parking section.
2. Ratification of Designating Downtown Auburn as a an Urban Center The Growth
Management Policy Committee (GMPC) recommended adoption of Auburn's proposal to add its
downtown as an urban center. Although they don't meet the requirements, they, like Tnkwila,
will work to achieve those goals for population, housing and jobs. Recommend Auburn
proposal for an Urban Center designation to COW for approval.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Steve Mullett
FROM: Jack Pace, DCD Deputy Director
SUB J: Proposed Adoption of the Property Maintenance Code
DATE: May 5, 2004
The International Code Council (I.C.C.) also developed an International Property Maintenance
Code, which addresses existing structures, and was designed to work hand-in-hand with the
International Building Code. (Attachment A)
Adoption of the new International Property Maintenance Code will replace most of
Chapter 8.28 -NUISANCES, and all of Title 16, Chapter 16.06 Buildings and Constmction,
HOUSING CODE of the Tukwila Municipal Code. As the attached matrix demonstrates, the
new code is much broader in Scope, and addresses the exterior and interior of existing buildings.
The IPMC also addresses residential occupancy requirements.
The specifics and level of detail provided in the IPMC will allow code enforcement staffto more
readily identify code violations, and provides the tools needed to enforce these codes. Our
adopting Ordinance also permits the City to assess the property owner abatement costs through
the Tax Assessor's office.
Recommendation
On April 13, '2004, the Community Affairs and Parks Committee reviewed the proposal and has
unanimously recommended adoption of the Property Maintenance Code. If the Council would
like a public hearing, such hearing could take place at the June 14 Council meeting and based on
public comments, adoption could take place at the June 21, 2004 Council meeting. If no such
hearing is required, adoption could take place at the June 7, 2004 Council meeting. A copy of
the drat~ Ordinance is attached. (Attachment B)

Community and Parks Committee
April 13, 2004
Present: Pam Linder, Chair; Joe Duffle, Dave Fenton
Nick Olivas, Don Tomaso, Bob Bencdicto, $oyce Trantina, Kathy Stetson, Steve
Lancaster, Bmcc Fletcher, Paul Surck, Lucy Lantcrbach
1. International Building Code Adoption, Bob Benedicto is the Building Official, and he
.~ discussed how the City has been using the 1997 Building Code as it was the last one adopted by
· the State. The new International Building Code (IBC) was adopted by the State after a
committee the mayor served on recommended it over another version of building code. The
Committee asked why only 44 states were adopting the IBC. Bob said the initial code should be
adopted without amendments, though later the City can make some changes in local code if they
are more strict than the IBC. He went through with the Committee the effects the new code will
have on our codes.
Kathy and Joyce then went through three other codes that will supplement the IBC. The first was
the Nuisance and Housing section, relating to trash, weeds, graffiti, and landscaping
requirements. Kathy said the new language will allow her to require private landowners to clean
up graffiti on their property. The Committee approved of those additions.
A second new section addressed Junk Vehicles. The provisions in the civil code are vague, and
would be replaced by language that defines what a junk vehicle is, and would deal with the
~ ' ' proliferation of junk vehicles on private property. Joe asked if the City would enforce the
'...;" regulation, and Steve said not ail, but many cars that need to be removed, would be under these
new provisions. The Committee asked that the definition of a junk vehicle be included when this
issue goes to Council.
A third section addressed where cars and trailers can legally be parked on a property. This
section would prevent cars from parking on front lawns, requiting instead an approged durable
surface, which would be defined. Pam wanted to know what Sea Tac did when they passed a _
similar chang~ l~st year. Kathy said it was likely they would educate people about-this
requirement for a year before they started charging people with removing vehicles. Pam L
pointed out there is a house in her neighborhood that does not have a driveway due to the narrow
width of the property (many properties in Allentown/Duwamish are narrow but deep). This
person cannot park in a driveway and would be subject to removal. She did not support this
portion, of the proposed changes as they are now. The Committee wanted to know if there wa
enough interest in this last proposal. If so, they would send it back to Committee for further
work. Recommend IBC~ Nuisance, Junk Cars~ and Improper Parking Issues to COWl with
one member not yet agreeing to support the Improper Parking section.
2. Ratification of Designating Downtown Auburn as a an Urban Center The Growth
Management Policy Committee (GM_PC) recommended adoption of Auburn's proposal to add its
downtown as an urban center. Although they don't meet the requirements, they, like Tukwila,
will work to achieve those goals for population, housing and jobs. Recommend Auburn
: proposal for an Urban Center designation to COW for approval.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Steve Mullett
FROM: Jack Pace, DCD Deputy Director~
SUB J: Proposed Changes in Junk Vehicle Ordinance
DATE: May 5, 2004
In response to Council and citizen input, Code Enforcement staff has also been working with
Tukwila Police Department to address concerns regarding our current City ordinances for junk
vehicles.
While the new Property Maintenance Code does address junk vehicles in Section 302.8, "...no
inoperative or unlicensed motor vehicle shall be parked, kept or stored on any premises, and no
vehicle shall at any time be in a state of major disassembly, disrepair, or in the process of being
stripped or dismantled..." City staff are recommending adoption of an Ordinance which will
specify in greater detail, the requirements and related penalties for Tukwila residents regarding
junk vehicles.
The changes we are proposing more clearly charge Code Enforcement with the authority to
regulate the presence of junk vehicles on private property. The Police Department continues to
regulate junk vehicles on public right-of-way. In addition:
· The.notification process is specified. Notification is to be made to both the property owner
and the vehicle owner, if they can be identified.~
· The hearing and appeal process for the notification is specified. The Hearing Examiner
· handles appeal heatings.
· The monetary penalty amount has not been changed.
· Language has been added to permit the recovery of costs of removal and penalties against the
property owner OR against the vehicle owner. The property owner can be assessed through
the Tax Assessor's office.
· "Repeat Violators" are defined and the process for corrective action is outlined.
· Civil citations through Tukwila Municipal Court are an alternative method of fining
violators. Process has not changed.

Junk VehiCle Ordinance

Page 2
The proposed changes in our junk vehicle ordinance will provide Code Enforcement with better
tools and greater enforceability in reducing the number of "hulks" and eyesores on private
property. In addition, the new ordinance specifies a method that can be utilized to recover costs
associated with abatement of junk vehicle violations on private property and that can be assessed
against the property owner and/or vehicle owner. Such process can include filing a tax lien
which is attached to the property.
Recommendation
On April 13, 2004, the Community Affairs and Parks Committee reviewed the draft ordinance
and has unanimously recommended adoption of the Junk Vehicle Ordinance. If the Council
would like a public hearing, such hearing could take place in early June and based on public
comments, adoption could take place at a subsequent meeting. If no such hearing is held,
adoption could take place at the May 17, 2004 Council meeting. A copy of the draft Ordinance
is attached. (Attachment A

1. International Building Code Adoption Bob Benedicto is the Building Official, and he
discussed how the City has been using the 1997 Building Code as it was the last one adopted by
the State. The new International Building Code (IBC) was adopted by the State after a
committee the mayor served on recommended it over another version of building code. The
Committee asked why only 44 states were adopting the IBC. Bob said the initial code should be
adopted without amendments, though later the City can make some changes in local code if they
are more strict than the IBC. He went through with the Committee the effects the new code will
have on our codes.
Kathy and Joyce then went through three other codes that will supplement the IBC. The first was
· the Nuisance and Housing section, relating to trash, weeds, graffiti, and landscaping
requirements. Kathy said the new language will allow her to require private landowners to clean
up graffiti on their property. The Committee approved of those additions.
(~ A second new section addressed Junk Vehicles. The provisions in the civil code are vague, and
would be replaced by language that defines what a junk vehicle is, and would deal with the
proliferation of junk vehicles on private property. Joe asked if the City would enforce the
regulation, and Steve said not all, but many cars that need to be removed, would be under these
new provisions. The Committee asked that the definition of a junk vehicle be included when this
issue goes to Council.
A third section addressed where cars and trailers can legally be parked on a property. This
section would prevent cars from parking on front lawns, requiring instead an approved durable
surface, which would be defined. Pam wanted to know what Sea Tac did when they passed a
similar change last year. Kathy said it was likely they would educate people about this
· - requirement for a year befOre they started charging people With removin~ vehicles. Pam L ....
pointed out there is a house in her neighborhood that does not have a driveway due to the narrow · ..
width of the property (many properties in AllentownfDuwamish are narrow but deep). This
person cannot park in a driveway and would be subject to removal. She did not support this
portion of the proposed changes as they are now. The Committee wanted to know if there wa
enough,interest in this last proposal. If so,they would send it back to Committee for further
work. Recommend IBC~ Nuisance~ Junk Cars~ and Improper Parking Issues to COW, with
one member not yet aereein~ to suoDort the Improper Parking section.
2. Ratification of Designating Downtown Auburn as a an Urban Center The Growth
Management Policy Committee (GMPC) recommended adoption of Aubum's proposal to add its
downtown as an urban center. Although they don't meet thc requirements, they, like Tukwila,
will work to achieve those goals for population, housing and jobs: ~Recommend Auburn
proposal for an Urban Center designation to. COW for approval.

INTER-OFFICE MEMO

SUBJECT: Ratification of Countywide Planning Policy amendment
Designating Downtown Auburn as an Urban Center
DATE: May 18, 2004
BACKGROUND
The 1990 Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that King County and the cities within the
county work together to adopt countywide planning policies, which serve to guide and
coordinate the development of local comprehensive plans. The Growth Management Planning
Council (GMPC) comprised of representatives of King County, the cities and special districts
was formed in 1990 to develop such countywide planning policies. The original Countywide
Planning Policies for King County (CPPs) were adopted in July 1992. These policies are
periodically reviewed and revised in response either to changing conditions or requirements of
growth management law.
The GMPC develops proposed countywide planning policies or amendments to the policies, and
recommends them to the King County Council. Policies adopted by the County Council become
effective only if ratified by at least 30% of the city and county governments in King County,
representing at least 70%.. of the county's population. Jurisdictions failing to act within 90 days
of County Council action are deemed to have ratified the policies or amendments. The 90~day
period for the 2004 CPP amendment described below expires on June 7.
PROPOSED CPP AMENDMENT
In 2002, the City of Auburn requested that its downtown core be designated as an Urban Center
in the Countywide Planning Policies. Urban Centers are envisioned in the CPPs as areas of
concentrated employment, housing and a wide range of other uses, with direct service by high-
caPacity transit. They are expected to account for up to one-half of King County's employment
growth and une-quarter of household growth over the next 20 years.
In order to be designated as an Urban Center, jurisdictions must meet specific criteria in the
Countywide Planning Policies, including having adopted plans that will accommodate:
· A minimum of 15,000 jobs within one-half mile of a transit center; and
\\TUK2WOL3~IOME\STEVE-L\STEVE\GMA\CPP\CAP 2004 ratification.doc Page
· An average of at least 50 employees per gross acre; and
· An average of at least 15 households per acre.
Existing conditions in Auburn's proposed Urban Center are:
· 6,000 jobs within one-half mile of a transit center.
· An average of 14 employees per gross acre.
· An average of less than 1 household per acre.
The Countywide Planning Policies recognize that Urban Centers vary substantially in the number
of households and jobs they contain at the time of their initial designation. Thus, the decision to
designate an Urban Center is based on planned, not existing densities. A jurisdiction shows its
commitment to realizing these densities through its comprehensive plan policies, a supportive
regulatory environment and a commitment to providing adequate infrastructure.
The Growth Management Planning Council, through the unanimous adoption of Motion 03-2,
has found that Auburn has demonstrated its commitment to developing a fully realized Urban
Center as envisioned in the Countywide Planning Policies.
King County Ordinance No. 14844 adopts GMPC Motion No. 03-2, amending the Countywide
Planning Policies by designating Downtown Auburn (the Auburn Central Business District) as
an Urban Center. Specifically, the proposed amendment adds Auburn's CBD to the list of urban
centers contained under Countywide Planning Policy LU-39, which currently includes:
i BellevueKent · Kirkland i Seattle(5)
Federal Way ~RentonRedm°nd (2) Tukwila
RECOMMENDATION
Th~ Community Affairs and Parks Committee reviewed the proposed Countywide Planning
Policy Amendment at its April 13, 2004 meeting. The CAP is forwarding the proposed '
amendment to the Committee of the Whole with a recommendation to approve ratification.
