The BLRs are a look back at actual development to determine if cities and counties have designated adequate amounts of residential, commercial, and industrial lands to meet the growth needs incorporated in their comprehensive plans. The most recent BLR was issued in 2014; the next is due in 2021. Source: Department of Commerce 2018 Buildable Land Guidelines 1 3 Return to Agenda DISCUSSION 2014 Buildable Lands Report The 2014 BLR concluded that Lakewood had sufficient housing capacity through 2030: The 2014 BLR concluded that Lakewood was 3,845 units short in employment capacity for 2030 (additional employment needs of 12,907 less current employment capacity of 9,062) (see charts below.) In response, Lakewood commissioned Berk & Associates to analyze the assumptions and data used for the 2014 BLR, and published corrected information in its own 2017 report. 2 4 Return to Agenda As shown in Exhibit 6 from the BERK 2017 Memorandum below, Lakewood’s “blended approach” assumes lower employment densities than the Pierce County BLR in most zones, but it anticipates much higher levels of employment in the Transit Oriented Commercial (TOC) and Central Business District (CBD) zones, reflecting the purpose of these zones as regional-serving commercial districts and the intensity of development allowed under current development regulations. The blended approach demonstrates that there is sufficient employment capacity to meet Lakewood’s 2030 and 2035 employment targets – there is a surplus of 2,528 jobs by 2030. The 2018 Downtown Subarea Plan and Planned Action reinforces the City’s intent for higher employment density within the CBD zone, and includes planning for 58-69 activity units per acre and a total of 7,369 jobs within the subarea boundaries. 3 5 Return to Agenda 2021 Buildable Lands Report The next Pierce County BLR is due on June 30, 2021 and its data and conclusions will be incorporated into the GMA-required 2023 periodic updates to local Comprehensive Plans. Source: Department of Commerce 2018 Buildable Land Guidelines 4 6 Return to Agenda Pierce County is the lead agency to draft Buildable Lands Reports (BLRs) for its cities and itself. The County is hiring a consultant to develop the 2021 BLR; the scope of the contract will entail coordination and analysis related to 3 components of the County's Buildable Lands Program: 1) coordinating and providing analytical support in the development of population, housing, and employment targets, 2) completing a consistency analysis for Pierce County and each city and town to determine if the adoption of "reasonable measures" is warranted, and 3) further analyze, with stakeholder input, previously identified public surplus lands for affordable housing opportunities. To date, Lakewood has provided the County with requested housing construction and economic development data, and has staff serving on the Planning & Public Works Department’s BLR task force supporting the project. The BLR consultant is anticipated to be hired and working by April 2020, and the project’s tasks are described below for reference: Tasks Description End Date 20201 Buildable Lands Report Development

And in 2021? • If the State adopts local affordable housing set-aside mandates, &/or requires climate mitigation through SEPA, it could impact housing supply. • Lakewood Station District Subarea Plan. • Codification of changes in residential zoning standards pursuant to action of Washington state in 2020. (?) • Development of regional housing policies & objectives pursuant to PSRC requirements. 40 Return to Agenda 41 Return to Agenda TO: City Council FROM: Tiffany Speir, Long Range & Strategic Planning Manager David Bugher, Assistant City Manager for Development Services THROUGH: John Caulfield, City Manager DATE: February 24, 2020 SUBJECT: SHB 1406 Funding in Lakewood ATTACHMENTS: Examples of other Jurisdictions’ Use of 0.1% Mental Health Tax Funds (Attachment A); draft Ordinance enabling collection of SHB 1406 funds by Lakewood (Attachment B); draft Ordinance for 0.1% mental health and chemical dependency sales tax (Attachment C) BACKGROUND In the 2019 legislative session, Washington adopted SHB 1406 that approved a local sales tax revenue sharing program for cities that can be used for: acquiring, rehabilitating, or constructing affordable housing; operations and maintenance of new affordable or supportive housing facilities; and, for smaller jurisdictions, rental assistance. An SHB 1406 authorizing ordinance must be adopted by Lakewood no later than July 27, 2020 to qualify for the credit. To maximize the available SHB 1406 funding for Lakewood (i.e., increasing the city’s share from 0.0073% to 0.0146%), the City Council needs to adopt a “qualifying local tax” prior to adopting its 1406 ordinance. On January 13, the City Council directed that the following be prepared: • Additional information regarding City Council-manic adoption of a 0.1% tax for mental health and therapeutic court services (MHCD tax) as an SHB 1406 qualifying local tax; • Information about how other jurisdictions have used their respective MHCD taxes (included in Attachment A); and • An SHB 1406 enabling ordinance for review and action (included in Attachment B.) Also included in Attachment C is a draft ordinance to adopt the MHCD tax. This tax is authorized for counties only, except for Pierce County cities with a population over 30,000 (Lakewood, Puyallup, Tacoma and University Place) if Pierce County has not adopted it. 1 42 Return to Agenda DISCUSSION SHB 1406 Process and Timing Because Pierce County has taken advantage of SHB 1406 funds via Resolution No. R2019- 103 and Ordinance 2019-57s, Lakewood could qualify for up to 0.0146% if it also adopts one of four possible “qualifying local taxes” prior to adopting its SHB 1406 Ordinance. Included below are MRSC estimates of the potential SHB 1406 revenue for Lakewood and Pierce County at the 0.0073% and 0.0146% levels. The lower table includes the City’s internal revenue estimates for each of the possible qualifying local taxes. 0.0073% 0.0146% CITY or 2019 Sum Of 0.0073% over 20 0.0146% annual cap w over 20 COUNTY Taxable Funds annual cap years qualifying local tax in place years Lakewood $1,195,429,873 $97,571 $1,951,417 $195,142 $3,902,834 Pierce County $3,733,777,060 N/A N/A $545,131 $10,902,629 Source: MRSC (per Dept. of Revenue data re taxable local retail sales for state fiscal year 2019 (7/1/18 to 6/30/19).) Estimates for the RCW 82.14.530 and RCW 82.14.460 funds are based upon MRSC’s estimated 1406 revenue for Lakewood. 2 43 Return to Agenda The 0.1% MHCD sales tax may be imposed council-manically and does not require voter approval. If the City Council wishes to use the MHCD as the qualifying local tax to maximize Lakewood’s SHB 1406 funds, the City Council would need to adopt the City’s MHCD tax ordinance prior to the Pierce County Council adopting a County MHCD tax ordinance. The County Council has scheduled action on its MHCD tax ordinance for March 10, 2020. (More information about the County’s MHCD tax is included below.) Included here is a summary graphic explanation of next steps for the City Council: No - Take no action on 1406 Ordinance No - Take no action on 0.1% mental health tax Adopt SHB 1406 Enabling Adopt 0.1% mental Ordinance? Yes - Adopt 1406 health tax as Ordinance by Qualifying Local Tax 7/27/2020 to double 1406 Funds to Lakewood? Yes - Adopt 0.1% mental health tax before County adopts 0.1% mental health tax (BEFORE 3/10/2020) Other Jurisdictions’ Use of MHCD 23 counties and the City of Tacoma have authorized the 0.1% mental health and chemical dependency (MHCD) sales tax. Details about several of the programs are included in Attachment A. Generally speaking, MIDD programs’ complexity and scope depend on revenues available: • King County = $67 million annually • Snohomish County = $15 million annually • Kitsap County = $6.64 million annually • Pacific County = $208,411 collected in 2017 with an additional $595,000 in in- kind/match funds secured • City of Tacoma = $6.29 million in 2020. Pierce County Consideration of 0.1% Tax for Behavioral Health and Therapeutic Courts On February 18, the Pierce County Council’s Human Services Committee held a public hearing on Proposal 2020-24 that would adopt a county level 0.1% sales tax for behavioral health services and therapeutic courts and creating a Behavioral Health Coordinating Commission (BHCC.) After the committee took a unanimous vote to forward Proposal 2020-24 without a recommendation, the proposal is scheduled for action by the full Pierce County Council on March 10, 2020. More details on Pierce County Proposal 2020-24 are included in Attachment A. 3 44 Return to Agenda OUTCOME OF ADOPTING SHB 1406 ORDINANCE AND MHCD TAX ORDINANCE SHB 1406 The City Council has discussed dedicating SHB 1406 funds toward several areas, including use in conjunction with Lakewood’s CDBG Major Home Repair Program, CDBG Major Home Repair and Sewer Loan Program, and HOME Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program. There is a high demand for home repair and rehabilitation loans in the City; Lakewood would need to track and administer SHB 1406 funds separately from CDBG and HOME funds, but the funds could be used in conjunction with each other to increase the amount available to low income residents to maintain their homes. In addition, the City Council allocates CDBG and HOME funds among various City programs, and has the authority, if it desired to do so, to allocate up to 100% of those funds (aside from administrative costs and the dollars dedicated to loan repayment) to home repairs and rehabilitation efforts. 0.1% MHCD Tax If Lakewood were to enact a 0.1% MHCD tax per RCW 82.14.460 as the qualifying local tax for SHC 1406 funds (talking action prior to Pierce County adopting a 0.1% MCHD tax), it could not only maximize SHB 1406 funds, but also generate an estimated $1.123 million annually for providing for the operation or delivery of “chemical dependency or mental health treatment programs and services” (treatment services, case management, transportation, and housing that are a component of a coordinated chemical dependency or mental health treatment program or service) and for the operation or delivery of therapeutic court programs and services. Many jurisdictions that have adopted a MHCD tax have identified an existing or newly established committee or board that provides recommendations to their Council on how to spend the funds. Supplanting Per RCW 86.14.460 (4), all moneys collected under this section must be used solely for the purpose of providing new or expanded programs and services, except as follows: (b) For . . . a city with a population over thirty thousand, which initially imposes the tax authorized under this section after December 31, 2011, a portion of moneys collected under this section may be used to supplant existing funding for these purposes as follows: Up to fifty percent may be used to supplant existing funding for up to the first three calendar years following adoption; and up to twenty-five percent may be used to supplant existing funding for the fourth and fifth years after adoption. For instance, Lakewood could supplant some portion of the funding for its Behavioral Health Contact Team for a period of up to 5 years. 4 45 Return to Agenda ATTACHMENT A Other Jurisdictions’ Use of 0.1% Mental Health and Chemical Dependency Sales Tax (MHCD) • King County's tax (termed “MIDD”) was adopted in 2008 (Ordinances 18406 and 18407) and has been extended to 2025; it collects an average of $134 million every two years.

A reduction in youths and adults experiencing homelessness in Tacoma; and 5. A strong emphasis on having performance measures and achieving outcomes that encourage service integration (breaking down silos). Tacoma’s MCHD tax has a 2020 projected revenue of $6.29 million. Per the Tacoma website: 2019-2020 Budget: Sales taxes represent $117 million or 23% of General Fund Revenues. Tacoma consumers pay a sales tax rate of 10.1%, of which 0.1% is for the MHCD Services. These revenues are highly variable depending on economic conditions. The City Council’s Community Vitality and Safety Committee provides recommendations to the full council regarding implementation of the MCHD tax- funded activities. Excerpts from the 2012 Implementation Plan are included below. 13 54 Return to Agenda In 2019 and 2020, the following programs were funded by the MHCD tax: 14 55 Return to Agenda • Pierce County Consideration of 0.1% MCHD Tax On February 18, 2020 the Pierce County Council’s Human Services Committee held a public hearing on Proposal 2020-24 that would adopt a county level 0.1% MCHD sales tax and creating a Behavioral Health Coordinating Commission (BHCC.) After the committee took a unanimous vote to forward Proposal 2020-24 without a recommendation, the proposal is scheduled for action by the full Pierce County Council on March 10, 2020. The Behavioral Health Coordinating Commission would: • recommend expenditures from the Behavioral Health and Therapeutic Courts Tax Fund and to help coordinate delivery of behavioral health services throughout Pierce County by: A.
