SUBJECT
Type V code amendment work item to comply with state legislation in E2SH B 1220
regarding code provisions for newly-legislated supportive housing types.
PRESENTED BY
Nicholas Matz AICP, Community Development Director
BACKGROUND
In 2021 the State Legislature enacted E2SHB 1220 in order to promote affordable
housing options in local jurisdictions. The Municipal Research and Services Center
(“MRSC”), in a June 29 blog post, noted “Homelessness and affordable housing are two
major and difficult issues facing communities throughout the state of Washington. To help
address these complicated issues, E2SHB 1220 was meant to encourage code cities to
take active steps to accommodate transitional housing, emergency shelters, and similar
homelessness—re|ated facilities through local planning and changes to local development
regulations.”
The legislation requires that transitional and permanent supportive types of housing not
be prohibited in any zones in which residential dwelling units or hotels are allowed, and
that emergency housing and emergency shelter uses not be prohibited in any zones in
which hotels are allowed. Fortunately, the legislation allows for “reasonable occupancy,
spacing, and intensity of use requirements [which] may be imposed by ordinance...to
protect public health and safety.”
What has the City of Normandy Park done to date?
After the November 18 meeting study session Planning Commissioners directed staff to
bring fonlvard draft proposals for a focus on an interim approach to regulation and
regulations which reflect a Normandy Park—specific approach to each of these uses. The
draft would also consider proposed Housing policy that clarifies the response
proportionate to our size, and with a focus on an exceptionally humane and dignified
approach, and which encourages a regional approach.
Planning Commissioners continued their discussion at the October 28 meeting regarding
the code components of such legislation as applied to Normandy Park, directing staff to
. .
bring fon/vard draft proposals for interim ordinance, and continuing
n
regional partnerships, assuring sponsorship organization operating
V‘
;
to discuss
plans,
options for
II
and trying to . - .
get a handle on the numbers that reflectI the problem in south King County.
Planning Commissioners held a thoughtful and detailed discussion‘i at your September
meeting regarding the City Council’s direction for this work program, and what the
I
.. .
16 . ‘
Commission believes is necessary to respond to the requirements in the adopted
legislation. These requirements in Section 3 of the bill contain the following preemptions
of local zoning authority*:
o A code city shall notprohibit transitional housing or permanent supportive housing
..
in any zones in which residential dwelling units or hotels are allowed...
I
‘ '
a code city shall not prohibit indoor emergency shelters
I
and indoor emergency I
.
0 I
housing in any zones in which hotels are allowed, except in such cities that have '
adopted an ordinance authorizing indoor emergency shelters and indoor
_
emergency housing in a majority of zones within a one-mile proximity to transit;
*as described in Maple Valley Ordinance O-21-726
On September 14 the City CouncilII '3. invited StateI Representative Tina Onlvall (D— ' ' .
Moines) to discuss recent state legislationv. I Des
regarding HB 1477 (implementing Ithe national
‘ ‘
988 system to enhance and expand behavioral‘I health crisis response and suicide
I
prevention services) and E2SHB 1220 (supporting emergency shelters
I
I and housing
through local planning and development regulations). Representative
II Onlvall noted the ‘
-
Legislature’s focus on homelessness this last session, a desire to address a
concentration in Seattle of resources for II
homelessness, and a willingness to continue to
. . .
work with constituents on addressing legislative implementation I efforts as theyI impact
local jurisdictions.
Mayor Sue-Ann Hohimer confirmedI the
I intent of the City Council,

and discussion with Representative Orwall, to direct the Planning Commission to begin

On August 10 the City Council heard a new businessII
.
agenda item regarding the need to ..I
address E2SHB 1220 implementation by local jurisdictions and a request by Community
Development for the City Council to direct a code amendment =work
Planning Commission to conduct such implementation. After
II
extensive

program
I to the
discussion,
«
City Council deferred any action on the request until Representative Tina Onlvall (D—
the
II
.. ~
,»
available City Council meeting to discuss the Des
;
Moines) could be invited to the next II
‘
path by ' ‘
which the legislation was adopted.
On July 6 City Councilmembers received background information on the recent state
legislation regarding affordability in'| housing,
I following a request
'
I by- Councilmember in
Thompson on the importance of understanding howE. 'H this legislation (ESSB 5235 and
E2SHB 1220, adopted July 25) could influence housing supply in Normandy Park.

ANALYSIS and FOCUSED APPROACH
The legislation requires that transitional and permanent supportive types of housing not
be prohibited in any zones in which residential dwelling units or hotels are allowed, and
that emergency housing and emergency shelter uses not be prohibited in any zones in
which hotels are allowed. Fortunately, the legislation allows for “reasonable occupancy,
spacing, and intensity of use requirements [which] may be imposed by ordinance...to
protect public health and safety.”
This legislation encourages a thoughtful, broad approach to how and who we house with
these types of supportive housing. Normandy Park is a community of predominantly
single—familyhomes, while attached housing makes up 30 percent of our housing stock.
Communities all over the region are becoming aware of the different ways that
households and families form economic units—and now, unfortunately, how those units
can dissolve into homelessness. This has meaning for the preservation and addition of
housing stock, to keep a community aware of its own vision and future.
The draft reflects the “Regulatory Parts” framework that the commission previously set:
a A response proportionate to our size (formerly known as “minimally conservative”);
o A focus on an exceptionally humane and dignified approach using public health and
safety as the cornerstones for planning tools and standards;
o Tools and standards regulating the use of housing for these types based on “markets
of avai|ability”—or within a market—rateframework;
o Regulations that respond to the quality and forms of housing for the households
needing accommodation by the legislation;
o Understanding what other cities are doing and applying similarity; and
o Linking the mandated type allowances with an affordability framework.
1. Housing policy adoption that:
Clarifies the response proportionate to our size, and with a focus on an exceptionally
humane and dignified approach using public health and safety as the cornerstones for
planning tools and standards and which encourages a regional approach.
Draft policy: TBD
2. Code amendments for adopting new definitions
Summary: The draft proposal will treat each new housing type separately with a
definition and regulatory framework, and will recommend an adopting ordinance on
an interim basis. Define and regulate as follows:
a A code city shall notprohibit transitional housing or permanent supportive housing
in any zones in which residential dwelling units or hotels are allowed.
2a. Transitional housing
.
Definition: means a project that provides housing and supportive services to
homeless persons or families for uup to two .-

Regulation: Add a reference to the 'definition of types of households that can occupy
dwelling units. in addition, require a business

2b. Permanent supportive housing

H to retain tenancy and utilizes
admissions practices designed to use lower barriers
H to entry than would be typical for

Standards for transitional housing and permanent

‘I supportive housing and Itransitional housingH
facilities are allowed
subject to the following criteria:
.
- It must be a 24-hour-a-day facility where beds or rooms are assigned to
specific residents for the duration of their stay.
- On-site services such as laundry, hygiene, meals, case management, and
social programs are limited to Hthe residents of the facility and not available
‘.
for drop—inuse by non-residents.
.
- The facility must be located within a half mile :;walking distance of a bus or rail
transit stop.
- Facilities must be at least a one mile from

emergency shelter, calculated as a radius from the property lines of the site.
- The maximum number of residentsI in a facility is ulimited to the general
capacity of the building but in no case more than 10.
- Buildings must have structure entrances staffed 24/7, with individual units
only accessible through interior corridors.
- The facility must be ADA compliant.
- The facility must not be located within 1,400 feet of an elementary school.
a code city shall not prohibit indoor emergency shelters and indoor emergency
housing in any zones in which hotels are allowed, except in such cities that have
adopted an ordinance authorizing indoor emergency shelters and indoor
emergency housing in a majority of zones within a one-mile proximity to transit;.
2c. Emergency shelter and indoor emergency housing —
Path B:
De?nition: Seek the exception described above. The city’s ordinance adoption of
Temporary Homeless Encampment (THE) regulations into NPMC 18.08.200 and
NPMC 18.110 includes the legislative intent of E2SHB 1220 in defining indoor
emergency shelters and indoor emergency housing and thus meets the legislative
intent of not prohibiting indoor emergency shelters and emergency housing. In turn
this would not require amending the NPMC to now allow them as separate uses. THE
are allowed by right in any zone in the city (provided they are located on property
owned by religion organizations) including those zones within one mile of proximity to
transit on 15‘Ave S—which is the city’s sole transit corridor with Metro Route 165-
subject to standards in NPMC 18.110.
Regulation: add the words or shelter to the NPMC 18.08.200 definition, and require
standards and a memorandum of agreement (MOA) for THE permitted uses.
o NPMC 18.08.200: “Temporary homeless encampment” means a temporary
encampment or shelter for homeless persons on property owned or controlled by a
religious organization, whether within buildings located on the property or elsewhere on
the property outside of buildings.
0 E2SHB 1220 Section 6 (9): "Emergency housing" means temporary indoor
accommodations for individuals or families who are homeless or at imminent risk of
becoming homeless that is intended to address the basic health. food, clothing, and
personal hygiene needs of individuals or families. Emergency housing may or may not
require occupants to enter into a lease or an occupancy agreement.
0 E2SHB 1220 Section 6 (10): "Emergency she|ter" means a facility that provides a
temporary shelter for individuals or families who are currently homeless. Emergency
shelter may not require occupants to enter into a lease or an occupancy agreement.
Emergency shelter facilities may include day and warming centers that do not provide
overnight accommodations.
Standards for [amended] temporary homeless encam pments:

residents for the duration of their stay.

categories.
3. How many organizations provide these types of housing and where? Can

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct cost to carrying out a Type V municipal code amendment. The city
could see increased costs associated with litigation defending the municipal code without
provisions for supportive housing uses.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
The Comprehensive Plan's Land Use and Housing Elements provide guidance on
housing placement and affordability. The city has a track record of making informed
decisions about affordability in housing, including:
0 Adoption of transfer of development rights (TDR) in the Manhattan Village Subarea
(2013);
o Partnering with other south Sound communities in the South King Housing and
Homeless Partners (SKHHP); and
o imposing a local sales and use tax for affordable housing (2019) as a result of other
recent legislation (SB 1406)—and then in turn entering into an interlocal agreement
(2021) with SKHHP to pool this share of the state's sales tax for local provision of
affordable housing.
o The temporary homeless encampment regulations were adopted in 2016.

Asset-Based Community Development
Asset—Based Community Development (ABCD)is an approach that uses the existing resourcesof a
community to support its development Ratherthan focusing on challenges or resources that are
lacking, ABCDseeks to identifyoften unrecognizedassets produced by local individuals,associations, and
institutions, and then worksto build on those assets to sustain a community and support its growth.

Planners can use ABCDto inform solution-orientedand conscious practices in allaspects of the planning Wsioning &

equitable and restorative planning.
BACKGROUND |:vALUAI IUN
Since its inception in the 19905, ABCDhas generated an in?uential body of literature. for many social
‘ '
science disciplines and professional?elds.Asset—based approaches such as ABCDencourage researchers
and practitioners to see the people they engage with and serve as capable of making positive
contributions to their community. Thefouressentialelementsof an

unique set of assets that are place based and steeped in localhistoryand culture,and plannersmay not
have the perspective or knowledge needed to identifythose assets. ABCDoffersplannersa processfor
learning directly from community memberswhat they ?nd meaningful and what is necessary fortheir
community to prosper.
Once a community's assets are identi?ed and recognizedthrough the ABCDapproach, plannerscan then
leverage formalgovernmental and organizationalplanning resources to build on these assets, whilealso
ensuring their actions do not undermine them. Of?cialacknowledgement of localpeoples’capacities,
talents, creativity, and imaginations can begin to reverse the effects of a history of misunderstanding,
stigmatizing, or disrupting localassets—whetherintentional or not.
ELEMENTS OF ASSET-BASEDCOMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT
The four essential elements of ABCDare resources,methods, functions, and evaluation(McKnightand
Russell2018). Practitioners can address the elements in any order.
The resources element describessix types of assets that communities can use to prosper.Three of these
are community actors: residents,associations,and institutions.The fourth is localplaces,or bounded
areas shared by community actors that featurethe built and natural environment. The?fth resource is
exchange, a core community activity. it can be monetary, but many nonmonetary forms of exchange exist
and are more signi?cant to ABCD.The?nal resource is stories, which is how community members share
knowledge from the past and create visions forthe future.
The methods element describes how communities use resources.When determining appropriate
methods, ABCDcalls for ?rst starting withthose that recognize what the community is alreadydoing for
itself,such as discovery through asset mapping; then, those that identifysmallopportunities for external
support, such as co—creatingsolutionsthrough charettes; and ?nally, those for leveraging outsideaidand
resources for major needs, such as localcomprehensive or hazard mitigation planning.
The functions element describesseven community functions that are necessary forlocalsuccess and
health, security, ecology,economies,foodproduction,childrearing,and community care. Amcncan Planning Assocaatuon

The ?nalelement is evaluation.This element measures the levelof local engagement in the ?rst three
elements.Practitioners should take this as an opportunity to take stock of what is working and what they
can improve or correct in the ABCDprocess.

Asset mapping is a tool that can help community members visuallyidentify localresources.Thegoal isto
produce more than a list of resources; it should increase the number of community members who are ac-
tivelyinvolvedin decision making for land-use,capitalimprovements, or infrastructureservices (Duncan
2016). Asset mapping can inform development strategies that minimize displacement, strengthen sense
of place,and embrace local histories.
Finally,plannerscan use ABCDto develop asset—based language in plans, policies,and communications.
