DISCUSSION As community and business leaders, we have an undeniable impact on the health of those we serve. From our own families to our workforce and their families to the consumers and populations who are engaged with our organizations. Put simply, we are role models and we are also decision makers. You are cordially invited to attend a "Leadership Forum for a Healthier Generation" (attached) on September 12, 2013 at Renton Community Center from Sam — 1pm. Obesity continues to be a problem across the country, particularly in South King County. According to Seattle /King County Public Health's "City Health Profile" for Seatac/Tukwila in December 2012 (attached), the health risk factors for lack of exercise, obesity, smoker, and diabetes exceed the County and State average, and are in the top 4 worst cities in all of King County. In January 2014, Parks and Recreation leaders from South King County cities joined together with leaders from King County Parks, Seattle /King County Public Health, and Valley Medical Center to work together to make a difference. We began planning a vision and strategies to reduce obesity, and are launching "I "CANN — a South King County multi -city collaborative aimed at reducing the prevalence of obesity in kids and families. The "I "CANN mission is to: • Educate local city, school, business, and faith -based leaders about obesity and the resulting chronic health issues as well as the alarming disparities that exist in South King County. • Collaborate and engage with leaders to leverage current resources around activity and nutrition, identify and fill gaps in resources, and participate in policy development and support. • Offer a comprehensive resource portal that ties together available options for outdoor activities, community sports & fitness, school sports, physical activity facilities, food assistance programs, nutrition and cooking classes, and education /tools for tracking activity and nutrition goals. • Extensive outreach through local city, school, business, and faith -based organizations to their constituents, identify those in need and provide a portal of activity and nutrition resources. 2 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 To launch this effort, we are hosting a 'Leadership Forum for a Healthier Generation".

The purpose of the report is to inform policy- makers, government agencies, and the public about population health at the local level. In this series of city health profiles, King County is divided into 25 areas. Some of these areas are a single city, some are a group of smaller cities, and some are unincorporated areas. For each of the 25 areas, the report includes seven sections: • Demographics • General health status • Leading causes of death • Health risk factors and chronic diseases • Injury and violence - related mortality • Maternal and infant health • Access to care and preventive services For each section, data are presented in a chart and a table. Below is a description on how to read the chart. City King County OWA State -- Each chart compares the city rate to that of King County and Washington State. The orange, hollow circle represents the indicator value for WA State. 10 8 a) 6 . U a 4 . 2 0 Health 4_ The blue, solid bar represents the indicator value for the city.

It also contains the actual indicator value for the city and a "rank" that ranks the city from worst (1) to best (25) in relation to other King County areas for which health profiles have been created. The "SIG" column in the table specifies whether or not the health indicator rate for the city is significantly higher than (H), significantly lower than (L), or not different from (N) the King County average.

BACKGROUND At the July 22, 2013 City Council meeting a resident expressed their concern regarding amplified music intruding upon their privacy and serenity at their home located near Joseph Foster Memorial Park. DISCUSSION After looking at the Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) Chapter 8.22 Noise (Attachment A), there are a few things that can be done as a short term potential solution while we research and prepare a long term solution. In the short term, staff has: 1. Informed rental groups of the TMC and to be respectful to residents, 2. Installed temporary signs at the picnic shelter stating the TMC regarding amplified noise. These items have been done and we have not received any citizens' concerns regarding amplified noise since this action was taken. We do have direct communication and guidance with groups that rent the facility; however, we do not have the opportunity to inform general park users aside from the signage. We may need to develop a long term solution to general park users if these are the persons who are disturbing our neighbors. Staff can perform an audit regarding the proximity of the picnic shelters to residents to see if any amplification should be disallowed, i.e. the shelter is closer than 50' to homes. A more general policy may need to be considered if people are amplifying noise while using the park somewhere other than the picnic shelter. The TMC and Park Rules signs may need to be updated with a stricter rule regarding amplified noise in the parks. Staff will research what other cities' do to control amplified noise, work with the Police Department and Code Enforcement to prepare a recommendation for the Park Commission to review. The Community Affairs and Parks Committee will be updated on any recommendations as this item moves forward. FINANCIAL IMPACT The short term solution costs include staff time of calling rental groups and the posting of temporary signs. The long term solution may include costs related to the purchase and posting of permanent signs and staff time to research and develop revisions to the TMC. INFORMATIONAL MEMO Amplified Noise in City Parks Page 2, August 21, 2013 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that research be performed what other cities' do to control amplified noise, work with the Police Department and Code Enforcement to prepare a recommendation for the Park Commission to review; and to keep the Community Affairs and Parks Committee informed of the progress as the long term solutions are developed.

Johnson, Planning Intern Brandon Miles, Senior Planner DATE: August 21, 2013 SUBJECT: Amendments to the Title 19 "Sign Code" ISSUE Should businesses in the Manufacturing Industrial Center/Heavy (MIC/H) zone be permitted to have larger flush mounted wall signs? BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Thep|8CeOOeOtOfvv8UsigOSvvithiOth8ChviGgovB[O8dbvTUkvVi|3K8UOiCip@|Code(TM[|) 19.20.050. A business is permitted to have one wall sign for each public entrance that the business utilizes. Thus, if a business has four public entrances it would be permitted to have four wall signs. The size of the wall signs is based on the total area of the wall where the wall sign will be placed. A larger wall allows for a larger wall sign; however, most wall signs are limited to a maximum size of 150 square feet. Some larger properties can utilize the provisions of the Master Sign Program to install a wall sign of up to 250 square feet. The current approach for wall sign area limitations works well for retail commercial areas of the City, such as the Southcenter area and Tukwila International Boulevard. However, in areas that have large buildings, and thus large walls, the current regulations severely limit the allowable wall signage. Nearly all of these larger buildings are located in the City's MIC/H zone. A business in the MIC/H zone, which has a wall area of 50,000 square feet, is only permitted signage that occupies .3% of the wall area. Compare that to a business in the Southcenter area that occupies 5.001 square feet, which is permitted to install a wall sign that occupies 2.99% of the wall area. The Boeing Company, a business that operates primarily iOtheCit/SM|C/HZ0Oe,h@G requested that the City amend the Sign Code to allow larger wall signs. Boeing is requesting the change in order to reflect the fact that it, like other large business owners in the MIC/H zone, occupies large buildings, with large wall areas. Boeing has also requested that the City modify the requirement that links public entrances to placement of wall signs. The purpose of the MIC/H zone is to allow for heavy industry and bulk manufacturing, hence the need for massive buildings with large wall areas, These types of businesses are likely to not have public entrances similar to commercial businesses, such as those in the Southcenter area. 30 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 POLICY OPTIONS Staff would like input from the City Council on whether the City should amend the Sign Code to address the request from Boeing. Staff has outlined two possible options below. Option 1: No Change to the Existing Sign Code. Under this approach Boeing, as well as any other building owners in the MIC/H area, would not be permitted to install a wall sign on a wall that does not have a public entrance. If a public entrance is present, the size of the wall sign could not exceed 150 square feet (250 square feet if a Master Sign Plan were approved). Option 2: Amend the Sign Code to allow businesses in the MIC/H zone to have larger wall signs on building faces without public entrances. Wall signs in the MIC/H zone would be permitted up to 1'500 square feet in area for wall areas larger than 5'000 square feet by adopting a new allowable Sign Area table as follows (This table would only apply in the MIC/H Zone) Area (LxH) of Exposed Building Face (EBF) in Square Feet Permitted Sign Area 5001-20'000 /EBF-5.0O[A)(.015+15O square feet 20.001-50,000 (EBF-2O'O0O) )(.D15+375 square feet 50'001-80'000 (EBF-5O'ODO))<.O15+825 square feet 80.001-100'000 (EBF-8O,OOO)}(.D1+1275 square feet 100'001 and above 1500 square feet max The requirement to have a public entrance would also not apply in the MIC/H zones. A business would be permitted to have a total of four wall signs; one for each cardinal direction, with only one sign per direction. FINANCIAL IMPACT If option 2 is selected a small number of additional buildings will be permitted to have additional signs and thus the City would see a slight increase in permit revenue. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Option 2. If the Committee is agreeable, staff will come back to the Committee on September 23, 2013 with a draft Ordinance. Staff would also like permission to take the draft Ordinance to the Committee of the Whole for a public hearing and discussion that same night. ATTACHMENTS None.
