Information Memo
To: Community Affairs and Parks Committee j
From: Director, Department of Community Development�
Date: May 22, 2007
Subject: Amendments to Chapter 16.04 of the Tukwila Municipal Code
Issue: Adoption of the 2006 State Building Code.
Backeround
The State Building Code Act, Chapter 19.27 RCW, requires that each local jurisdiction
enforce the State Building Code within its jurisdiction. To comply, the City of Tukwila
must adopt the current codes and rules adopted by the State Building Code Council. The
2006 Codes and rules are effective throughout the state on July 1, 2007.
The State Building Code is composed of the following documents:
International Building Code, Standards and amendments.
International Residential Code, Standards and amendments.
International Mechanical Code, Standards and amendments.
International Fire Code, Standards and amendments.
Uniform Plumbing Code, Standards and amendments.
The Uniform Plumbing Code is not part of the International family of codes and is
published and revised by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical
Officials. Requirements for fuel gas fired appliances occur in the mechanical code and
the plumbing code. The solution to potential conflict and duplicity was the adoption of
the International Fuel Gas Code as part of the State Building Code.

Alternatives /Discussion /Analvsis
Building Division administers the 2003 State Building Codes including the state
amendments thereto. Any City may amend the provisions of the State Building Codes
within their jurisdiction provided that the amendments do not result in a code that is less
than the minimum performance standards and objectives contained in the State Building
Code. No local amendment may affect single family or multifamily residential buildings
unless the amendment is approved by the State Building Code Council.
If the City does not adopt the 2006 State Building Code the TMC would have to be
amended to reference any exceptions granted by the Building Official. This would lead
to a local set of building codes that would not resemble the codes enforced throughout the
remainder of the state. Tukwila's Building Division would now be in the code editing
and publishing business.
The amendments to Ordinance 2157 (Chapter 16.04 of the Tukwila Municipal Code)
includes adoption of the 2006 State Building Code including the State amendments and
local amendments to the administrative chapters of the respective codes. The following
is an overview of the administrative amendments included in the draft ordinance:
Section 16.04.010, Purpose of Chapter. Revised to correspond to the intent and
scope stated in IBC.
Section 16.04.020, Codes Adopted. The 2006 editions of the International
Building Code, International Residential Code, International Mechanical Code,
Uniform Plumbing Code, International Mechanical Code and the International
Fuel Gas Code.
IBC Section 101.2, Building, Item 1, Clarification of the definition of accessory
structure that is exempt from the requirements of a building permit.
The appeal process for all adopted codes is amended for uniformity.
Expiration of permits, extension for unexpired permits and renewals of expired
permits has been codified.
Multi family residential buildings means common wall residential buildings that consist of four or fewer
units, that do not exceed two stories in height, that are less than 5000 square feet in area, and that have a
one -hour fire- resistive occupancy separation between units. (State Definition for purposes of this section)

. Uniform Plumbing Code. Design and construction standards for water supply,
sanitary drainage and cross connection control is clarified. This is to eliminate
conflicts between the plumbing code provisions and the Public Works Design
Standards.

policy the International Codes do not. This amendment is intended to establish
this policy.
. The schedule of all permit fees remains unchanged for this code cycle.

accordance with Ordinance 2157.
. Adopt the 2006 State Building Codes and amendments as proposed in

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Steve Mullet
Community Affairs and Parks Committee
CA -;
FROM: f:::-zt Dave Johnson, Recreation Superintendent
DATE: May 24, 2007
SUBJECT: Rental Fees for Tukwila Community Center
ISSUE
Increase Rental Fees for Tukwila Community Center.
BACKGROUND
The "new" Tukwila Community Center opened in 1997 and a new rental fee structure was
prepared and implemented in 1996 to schedule rental space for the "new" facility. The TCC
rental fees were last adjusted in 2002. Some fees were increased and some fees remained
the same.
Since 2002, inflation has increased at the rate of nearly 14%. Based on this and our rental
fee study information, we are proposing an increase to our rental fees for the Tukwila
Community Center. The proposed fees continue to keep us competitive in the marketplace
with comparable facilities.
The proposed fees will be effective for rental events that take place after January 1, 2008.
For rental events that reserve space for 2008 on or after June 1, 2007, the new fees will be
assessed. For rental events that reserve space 2008 before June 1, 2007, the current fees
will be assessed.
ACTION TAKEN
Staff has prepared promotional material with the new fees is prepared and ready to go
(flyers, information for the website) and letters will be sent out to "on-going" rental customers
to notify them of the fee changes. Staff has also updated the Computer Registration/Facility
Booking system in preparation for the new fees.
Staff reviewed the fee proposal with the Parks Commission on May 16th, 2007, and the
commissioners were all in support of the fee proposal.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed fees.

Amendments to Countywide Planning Policies .
May 23, 2007
BRIEFING
Staff wishes to brief the CAP on updates to the Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs).
BACKGROUND
The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) that requires cities and counties to
work together to adopt Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) that serve as a framework for
each individual jurisdiction's comprehensive plan, and ensure countywide consistency in
land use efforts. The CPPs are adopted by the King County Council and ratified by the
cities throughout King County.
Amendments to the CPPs become effective when ratified by ordinance or resolution by at
least 30% ofthe city and county governments representing at least 70% of the population of
King County. A city shall be considered to have ratified an amendment to the CPPs unless,
within 90 days of adoption by King County, the city takes legislative action to disapprove it.
Tubvila has generally allowed amendments to the CPPs to become effective without taking
action. In 2004, Tukwila adopted amendments to the CPPs via Resolution 1527. Tukwila
has never disapproved an amendment to the CPPs.
DISCUSSION/ANAL YSIS/AL TERNATIVES
On April 9, 2007, the King County Council approved Ordinance 15709 that ratified three
amendments on behalf of unincorporated King County as follows:
1. Motion 06-01 amends Renton's Potential Annexation Area to include the West Hill.
The West Hill is located between Renton, Seattle and Tukwila, and is one of the
largest unincorporated urban areas remaining in King County. (See attached map.)
Renton has taken action to include this area in its P AA.
Tubvila Staff Comment: This area is not in Tubvila's PAA, and its inclusion in
Renton's PAA presents no problem to Tukwila.
2. GMPC Motion 06-02 establishes household and job growth targets for cities,
Potential Annexation Areas (P AAs), and urban unincorporated areas, in addition to
Rf

OS/24/2007
annexation areas. This measure ensures that cities take on additional target levels
consistent with the capacity to accommodate jobs and housing in these areas that are
annexed and incorporated. Renton had requested this amendment specifically to
address the incorporation ofFairwood. Since this measure was proposed, the
proposed incorporation failed to be approved by voters of the proposed city.
Tukwila Staff Comment: This measure ensures that in any case where a new city
incorporation occurs within the P AA of an existing city, the growth targets for the
existing city would be adjusted commensurate v'lith land use capacity for lands
remaining in the PAA of the existing city. Tukwila supports this measure.
3. GMPC Motion 06-03 designates the Overlake district of Redmond as an Urban
Center, and amends the list of Urban Centers to include Overlake.
Tukwila Staff Comment: Tukwila does not object to this measure as Overlake
generally meets the criteria established for designation as an Urban Center. We note
that incentives were established to assist cities in dealing with the impacts of denser
growth in the designated Urban Centers. These incentives include provision of high
capacity transit (Countywide Planning Policy LU-46) and fmancing strategies for
urban facilities and services (LU-47). To the extent that additional Urban Centers,
including Overlake, are established, the resources available for the existing Urban
Centers including the Tukwila Urban Center (ruC) are decreased.
SUMMARY
Based on staff review, these policy changes have no adverse impacts to Tukwila.
Including the West Hill/Skyway area in Renton clarifies that in the longer term it will
become part of Renton.
Staff requests that the CAP brief the COW on this issue. No further action is requested.
