During 2004, Tukwila updated its Comprehensive Plan to ensure that it meets statewide planning regulations. Key topics included reviewing policies and development codes for environmentally sensitive areas, as well as adopting new countywide housing and employment targets.
Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan is the guiding document or "blueprint" for how Tukwila will manage future growth and development over the next twenty years. The Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1995, with opportunities for amendments each year.
The Comprehensive Plan's main objectives are:
- To improve and sustain residential neighborhood quality and livability
- To redevelop and reinvigorate the Pacific Highway corridor
- To redevelop and reinvigorate the industrial uses along East Marginal Way
- To develop a thriving Urban Center as a true regional concentration of employment, housing, shopping, and recreational opportunities
Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan provides a flexible framework for adapting to real conditions over time. The building blocks of the Comprehensive Plan include the following "elements": land use; transportation; housing; neighborhoods; economic development; capital facilities; utilities and the natural environment.
