TO: Mayor Dan Kelleher
Kent City Council
OM: Sandra Driscoll , City Attorney
SUBJECT: INITIATIVE/REFERENDUM
Set forth below is a summary of initiative/referendum powers and the monetary
costs of an election.
A. INITIATIVE
Initiative power is a method by which city res� dentsJ�a� propose or initiate a
law or ordinance that m then be voted upon by the citizens of a city. This
,tsnables the people to propose and enact laws independently of a city council .
It applies, generally, to legislative matters -- not judicial or executive
functions. The followina ordinances are exempt from the exercise of
initiative powers:
� t
a. ordinances initiated petit,_ ion;_—
b. ordinances necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace,
health, or safety or for the support of the city government and its
existing public institutions which contain a statement of urgency and are
passed by unanimous vote of the council ;
C. ordinances providing for local improvement districts;
d. ordinances appropriating money;
e. ordinances providing for or approving collective bargaining;
f. ordinances providing for the compensation or working conditions of city
employees; and
g. ordinances authorizing or repealing the levy of taxes.
B. REFERENDUM N . �
Referendum is a process by which city residents approve or reject laws passed
by a city council . Should a sufficient referendum petition be presented, a
council ordinance is suspended and does not go into effect until the citizens
have voted on it. The ordinance is repealed if the voters disapprove of the
ordinance or resolution. A city council cannot reenact an ordinance that
contains all or substantially all of the essential features of the ordinance
that was rejected by the citizens. In addition, a council cannot amend or
change an ordinance that was ultimately adopted through referendum without
once again referring it to the voters for the voters ' approval .
As with initiative, only legislative matters can be brought to the voters
through referendum. The following ordinances are exempt from referendum:
a. ordinances initiated by petition;
b. ordinances necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace,
health, or safety or for the support of the city government and its
existing public institutions which contain a statement of urgency and are
passed by unanimous vote of the council ;
C. ordinances providing for local improvement districts;
d. ordinances appropriating money;
e. ordinances providing for or approving collective bargaining;
f. ordinances providing for the compensation or working conditions of city
employees; and
g. ordinances authorizing or repealing the levy of taxes
C. EFFECTIVE DATE OF ORDINANCES
--In a city_without .i-nitiative or referendum powers, all ordinances go into
_ effect five (5) days after their effective date. In a city with initiative
- --------------------
and referendum powers;the ordinances cannot go into effect before thirty (30)
days from the time of final passage of the ordinance.
D. PROCEDURES FOR ADOPTING INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM POWERS
There are two procedures by which the initiative and referendum powers may be
L
adopted: 4 i ,
1 . Fifty percent more of
qualified
l _ .voting i n ---- 'general
4'i
the
mum cipalelectionmay submit alpete
ti000nn �seekingsuch powers.tA council art J/
must then adopt a resolution declaring the intent of the petitioners an c ,lYti
S
adopting such powers. 1
i
2. A city council may declare, by resolution, its intent to provide for
initiative and referendum powers upon a determination that such would
serve the best interests and general welfare of the City. Unless a_,
sufficient referendum petition is filed ninety (90) days after IG
publication of that resolution, the council may then adopt those powers.
-If a referendum petition is filed, then the question goes to the voters.
D. COSTS
King County Election Division estimates the costs of an election as follows:
1 . For a general election,_the__cDst_would be approximately $4,000 to __-
$4,500. In 1987, the cost for the City of Kent was $3,800.
2. For a special election, the cost is $.85 to $1 .25 per registered voter.
----------------
Kent is estimated to have 14,500 voters in 1989. Therefore, the cost
would be approximately $13,000 to $18,000.
3. The cost of voter pamphlets is in addition to those listed above. If one
already exists for other ballot measure, the cost is approximately $.03
per registered voter or $435.00. If one is prepared exclusively for a
special election in Kent the cost would be approximately $3,500 if the
King County Council would authorize the Election Division to prepare such
a pamphlet.

PROPOSALS BEFORE THEY WERE ADOPTED AS 'TARGET ISSUES' FOR OUR GOYERNMENT. THE S.E. 277TH ALL BUT LICKED. THAT PROJECT ALOIIE WILL NOT SOLVE ALL OUR
INDEED, IN MY SPEECH TO YOU LAST JANUARY. I REQUESTED THAT YOU ACCEPT TWO PROBLEMS. THIS WEEKEND I ASK THAT WE TAKE SOME TIME TO TURN OUR ATTENTION ON
SPECIFIC PROPOSALS, THE 2777H ROAD FUNDING PLAN. AND THE PUBLIC-PRIVATF THE NEXT PRIORITY EASTIWEST CORRIDOR, S.E. 196TH11920D. I AM CONVINCED THAT
OFFICE BUILDING SCHEME. IT WAS NOT UNTIL YOU APPROVED THESE TWO PROGRAMS THAT WE CAN ULTIMATELY DEVELOP A PLAN TO FUND THIS PROJECT AS WELL.
THEY WERE ABLE TO MOVE AHEAD AND CECOME REALITY.
WELL. THERE IT IS. AMBITIOUS PROPOSALS . . . SOME MIGHT SAY UNREALISTIC
THEREFORE. I AM ASKING THAT THIS WEEKEND TOO CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE ONES . . . BUT A FEN YEARS AGO I PROBABLY WOULCH'T HAVE BELIEVED THAT WE WOULD
FOLLOWING PROPOSALS AS PART Of OUR GOVERNMENT WORK PROGRAM, BE BUILDING THREE NEW FIRE STATIONS. TWO MAJOR NEW DOWNTOWN BUILDINGS. A GOLF
COURSE AND S.E. 277TH. WE HAVE PROVEN THAT SUCH LOFTY GOALS CAP BC ACHIEVED.
FIRST IN THE AREA OF PAUSING. YOU ARE ALREADY AWARE THAT THE HOUSING STUDY I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU TO ACHIEVE THESE AND THE OTHER LOFTY GOALS
CURRENTLY BEING CONDUCTED SY CITY PLANNERS WILL RESULT IN SOME $PECIFTC WHICH WE WILL SET TOGETHER THIS WEEKEND.
RECOMMENDATIONS WITH RESPECT 70 LAND USE MAPPING AS IT PERTAINS TO
PULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. PUT THAT POST OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS PERTAINING TO
OTHER PAUSING GOALS AND POLICIES WILL BE GENERAL AND NON-SPECIFIC, IMPORTANT
HOUSING POLICY AREAS WILL REMAIN VIRTUALLY UNTOUCHED UNDER THE PRESENT WORK
PROGRAM.
THERE ARE TWO HOUSING ISSUES THAT I THINK DESERVE SPFCIAL ADDITIONAL
ATTENTION, PUBLIC PAUSING FOR SENIORS AND AFFORDABLE PAUSING POLICIES TO
PROMOTE SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
I PROPOSE CREATING TWO SEPARATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES TO STUDY THESE
ISSUES. THE PUBLIC PAUSING COMMITTEE'S TASK L'OULU BE TO OVERSEE THE EXECUTION
OF A PUBLIC HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMINT. THE OUTCOME OF WHICH COULD BE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A BALLOT MEASURE TO PROVIDE FINANCING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF
INEXPENSIVE HOUSING FOR SENIORS.
THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE'S TASK WOULD BE TO REVIEW THE CITY'S
AFFORDABLE PAUSING STUDY COMPLETED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. AND DETERMINE IF THERE
ARE OTHER STEPS IN( CITY CAN TAKE TO STREAMLINE 701 DEVELOPMENT PROCESS ANC

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Part of the reorganization proposal of the Parks Department last
spring included hiring a consultant to study and develop a
Maintenance Management Plan and a Policy and Procedures Manual.
Preliminary meetings have been held and we are ready to contract
for these services.
I have attached copies of the proposals from Walker, Edginton and
Webster, outlining the tasks to be accomplished and the fees for
each task. The Policy Manual will include all divisions of the
department, and the Maintenance Manual will include all parks, Golf
Complex, Senior Activity Center and Kent Commons.
The project cost, not to exceed $10, 250, will come from the Parks
Department consulting service budget of $8, 000, with the deficit
to be made up by underspending in other budget categories. No new
budget funds are requested.
The Parks Committee recommended at its January 11 meeting that the
Mayor be authorized to sign a contract with Walker, Edginton and
Webster for preparation of the Maintenance Plan and the Policy and
Procedures Manual.
A PROPOSAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A
MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
FOR' THE
KENT PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Introduction
While emergenicies and unusual occurances are unforseeable, the
majority of maintenance activities are routine, non-urgent and
repetitive in nature, making it suitable for advanced planning
and scheduling. Unfortunetly, the planning, scheduling and timing
of specific maintenance tasks have been often handled at the
supervisory or work crew level. This results in variations in
procedures and results as well as lack of documentation. More
specifically, many agencies lack:
- Detailed inventory (what and how much is being maintained)
- Agreement regarding quality and quantity standards
- Agreement regarding the frequency of work needed to
maintain desired quality
- Agreement about specific tasks to be accomplished and
proven operating procedures
- A recording'or tracking system
- Feedback and tangible information to evaluate work and
performance and for basis budget requests
A maintenance management plan provides a systematic approach to
planning, organizing, performing and managing all the activities
involved in keeping facilities and areas clean, safe, attractive
and functioning for public use. It can:
- Provide a clearer expectation of what is to be done on a
daily, seasonal and/or yearly basis
- Help to clarify what is required in terms of performance
both quantitatively and qualitatively
- Can lead to greater consistency in performance between
crews and individuals
- Can improve the accuracy in forcasting resource needs
- Can assist in managing and controlling performance
- Generally immproves accountability and overall credibility
of an agency, division, or unit
THE PROCESS FOR ESTABLISHING A MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
FOR THE
KENT PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
INITIAL STEPS
1. Explain and discuss purpose and intent of Maintenance Management
to staff.
2. Identify project team and project leader.
3. Identify and record all the information needs of all levels within
the , Kentj, Park and Recreation Department.
4. Detail a work plan for accomplishing System.
5. Set levels of service and•adopt same.
. Principal Elements
1. Identify all maintenance tasks.
2. Identify measurement unit for each task.
3. Develop methods documentation.
4. Set or re-affirm quality standards whenever possible.
5. Anticipate frequency of work needed to accomplish desired
quality standard.
6. Set or re-affirm quaftity standards.
7. Develop inventory of areas and facilities to reflect accurate
measures of all maintenance tasks.
8. Using the inventory, frequency and performance standards,
determine:
- Work volume
- Resource requirements
- Cost
to carry out all required maintenance tasks.
9. Develop reporting forms and procedures.
10. "Schedule work to be done."

A PROPOSAL FOR DEVELOPING A
POLICY AND PROCEDURES MANUAL
FOR THE
KENT PARK AND RECREATION
DEPARTMENT
Introduction
Policies, their importance, their purpose, and the basic reasons for
their adoption are common throughout every level of government.
Policies define objectives and maintain a sense of direction.
Procedures are the methods' by which policies are implemented.
It is commonly recognized that all park and recreation agencies have
policies and procedures that they follow in the day-to-day and long-
range administration of their departments. While every department
has policies and procedures, not all departments have these written
into a agency policy and procedures manual. The purpose of the
proposed policy and procedures manual is to provide the public and
more importantly the staff of the Kent Park and Recreation Depart-
ment a written record of governing principles or statements that set
definite courses of direction on given subjects dealt with in the
operation of the Kent Park and Recreation Department.
Project Work Program
The work program for the project is anticipated to be a seven step
program which will take place over a four (4) month period starting
with the Kent Park and Recreation Department's approval of the
project contract.
The first step in the process will be the development of the format.
Included in this step will be:
- Determination of type and number of manuals
- Form layout
- Distribution system
The second step will be the development of major and sub catagories.
Examples of major catagories:
- General
- Administration
- Programs
- Park Maintenance
- Park Acquisition & Dev.
Examples of sub catagories under Administration:
- Finance
- Personnel
- Conference Attendance
The major catagory headings will be used to delineate sections
within the manual.
The third step in the process will be the acquisition of the
binders and the printing of the binder cover inserts and the
Index Tab sets.
The four step will be the development of the Policy and Procedure
Form. This will include layout of the form and ordering the
printing upon approval by the Department.
The fifth step will consist of drafting the initial set of policies
and procedures. Upon drafting of these items, they will be reviewed
by agency staff and them put into final form for the Directors
approval.
The sixth step in the process will be the printing of 40 sets of
the initial policies and procedures.
The seventh and final step will be the compiling of the manuals and
delivering of 40 manuals to the Kent Park and Recreation Dept.
Each of the above steps will be taken in consultation with staff--
assigned to the project and with approval checkoffs as we proceed
throughout the project.

DECEMBER 19, 1988
MEMO
TO: Brent McFall
FROM: Patrice Thorell 94. 12
SUBJECT: Cultural and Leisure Services Division - Level of
Service and Evaluation 1986-1989
As you know, there has been significant growth in the Cultural and Leisure Services
Division of the Kent Parks and Recreation Department.
Program demands have increased in all areas including Cultural Arts classes,
Canterbury Faire, Balloon Classic, Specialized Recreation, Resource Center, Day
Camp, City Art Program and Kent Arts Commission.
During the budget process a request was made for the following increases:
Expenditures - Cultural Arts Budget
1. Increase TPT (class instructors) $ 5,254
2. Increase RPT (support staff) 5,423
3. Increase Other Professional Services 2,000
(contractual instructors) $��
Revenues - Cultural Arts Budget
1. Increase Cultural arts (class fees) $10,000
2. Increase - Kent Arts Commission 2,300
3. Increase - Canterbury Faire 5,000
4. Increase Balloon Classic 5,000
$ 6
Of the above requests, $2,000 was approved of the $12,707 expenditure request
for contracted instructors. However, on the revenue side all increases were
approved. This has resulted in tilting the Cultural Arts TFvision out of balance.
The ramifications of this are obvious. We have been given a goal to meet with-
out the resources. Therefore, the outcome will resort in our inability to meet
the goal .
Another issue that has surfaced since the budget process is that of exemplary
growth. I feel the growth is due to a better informed public regarding the Cultural
Arts class offerings due, in part, to the increased marketing efforts at Kent
Parks and the exceptional quality of the programs offered.
Brent McFall
December 19, 1988
Page Two
In 1988 Cultural Arts class participation is up by approximately 3,700 or 77%,
Resource Center participation is up 10,637 or 68% and Kent Arts Commission, Canterbury
Faire and Balloon Classic participation is up 48,016 or 41%.
This upward trend, though exciting for the City of Kent, has had a great effect
on the Cultural Arts Division and our ability to get day to day tasks completed.
Because the Cultural Arts classes portion of the Cultural and Leisure Services
budget is managed by the staff housed at the Kent Parks Resource Center, the growth
greatly affects the operation at the Resource Center.
Cheryl and I have discussed our concerns and make the following recommendation.
A. Add a regular part-time Office Technician II (salary schedule 16) position
at the Resource Center to provide clerical support for the cultural , fitness
and youth day camp programs.
Cost: RPT $ 9,582
Benefits 3,806
Total cost $ 9 -
Funding: Increase Cultural Arts program revenue from $116,500 to $130,.000.
If approved, the ($13,388) amount would be transferred from the Cultural
Arts budget to the Specialized Recreation Resource Center budget 677-
55631-1200 ($9,585) and 677-55631-2100, 2200, 2400, 2500 ($3,806) .
B. Charge the City Art Program (673) budget for 15% of Sue Floyd' s salary that
corresponds with the work that she does for that project:' This would not
require budget increases at the city level , but would require adjustment within
the budget. This charge would free up $4,688 to be used to address a portion
the anticipated temporary, part-time ( Cultural Arts Specialist ) expenditure
without asking for increased tax dollars.
Attached is an analysis "At a Glance" of program revenues, expenditures, staffing
and participation 1986-1989. I have also included back-up financial and statistical
information for you.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

KENT PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
JANUARY 13, 1989
MEMO
TO: Mayor, Council and City Admin strator
FROM: Barney Wilson, Director
PREPARED BY: Patrice Thorell, Superintendent,
Cultural and Leisure Services
SUBJECT: Cultural and Leisure Services Division Budget
Changes
The Division has experienced significant growth in 1988.
Cultural Art class registrations are up 3 ,700 participants or 77
percent. Resource Center activities including registered
participants and rentals are up 10, 637 or 68 percent. Kent Arts
Commission, Canterbury Faire and Balloon Classic participation is
up 48, 016 or 41 percent. This upward trend, though exciting for
the City of Kent, has had a great effect on the Cultural Arts
Division and our ability to get day to day tasks completed.
Because the Cultural
Arts classes portion of the budget is managed by the staff housed
at the Resource Center, the growth greatly affects their
operation. The upward trend has a happy side. The revenues
generated by increased participation will cover the costs of
additional staff required and will not cost taxpayers more.
Staff recommends the following:
A. Add a regular part-time Office Technician II (salary
schedule 16) position at the Resource Center to provide
clerical support for the cultural, fitness and youth day
camp programs.
Cost: RPT $ 91582
Benefits 3 . 806
Total cost $13 , 388
Funding: Increase Cultural Arts program revenues from
$116, 500 to $130, 000. If approved, the ($13, 388) amount
would be added to the Specialized Recreation Resource Center
budget 677-55631-1200 ($9, 585) and 677-55631-2100, 2200,
2400 and 2500 ($4 , 806) .
B. Increase regular part-time Cultural Arts Specialist position
from 1, 092 hours to 1,402 hours (approximately 310 hours) to
provide support for the Kent Arts Commission, Canterbury
Faire and Balloon Classic projects.
January 13 , 1989
Page Two
B. (continued)
Cost: RPT $3 ,729
Benefits 959
Total cost $4, 688
Funding: Charge the City Art Program 15 percent of Sue
Floyd' s salary which corresponds with the amount of her time
dedicated to the project budget. This will free up the
$4 , 688 needed to support the additional RPT hours without
additional cost to the city.
The Parks Committee recommended at its January 11 meeting that
the Council authorize the Cultural Arts program revenue increase
of $13 ,500. Staff additions totalling $13, 388 and charging
secretarial costs to the City Art Program.

Out of State Trip - Equipment Rental Division
Wickstrom explained the request was to send one of the City' s
mechanics to a Kawasaki motorcycle maintenance training school in
California so that repairs on the City' s motorcycle fleet could be
done in house rather than sending them out for repairs. Repair
costs for the two existing motorcycles have averaged $1, 900 per
unit per year. The cost to the City for the training would be the
costs of the airfare and lodging. The schooling is provided free
of charge by Kawasaki. The Committee unanimously approved the
request.
Dee Moschel - 448 Alpine Way
Ms. Moschel reported on damages her property has sustained as a
result of the Sanitary Sewer Rebuild project. She asked she be
placed on the agenda for the next Committee meeting to discuss
these items. White asked about the completion date of the project.
Wickstrom responded the contractor is in the process of finalizing
the restoration. Woods asked if staff would go up to Mrs .
Moschel ' s property to ascertain the extent of the damages. White
asked if there was any notification regarding the work. Mrs.
Moschel responded the Engineering Department sent out a letter but
the contractor had not contacted the property owners. White
inquired about the construction criteria to which the contractors
must adhere and alluded to the complaints he has had regarding
construction projects. Mrs. Moschel inquired about the restoration
of the landscaping on her back and side yards. Wickstrom responded
those areas are in public right of way but the City intends to
restore the landscaping as close to original as possible. Woods
recommended this item be placed on the agenda for the next
Committee meeting on January 24 .

Wickstrom related the survey did determine the damage was on
private property and not City right of way. Bill Williamson stated
there is no enforceable basis for the City to take any action

RE: Out of State Trip - Equipment Rental
We are requesting authorization for Orlin Klevin who is a mechanic
in the Equipment Rental Division to attend a Motorcycle Maintenance
Training school. The training is provided free by Kawasaki at
their plant in California.
The City currently has two Kawasaki motorcycles and will be adding
three more to the fleet in 1989. These are sent out for repair
when required. Repair costs for these two motorcycles over the
past two years have been $7,757.72, an average of $1,939.43 per
unit per year. With the growth of the fleet, outside repairs could
become a major budget item. By training our staff we would expect
to recover the expense of the trip within a short period of time.
While there is no fee for the training class, expenses for travel,
lodging and food would be approximately $1,025.

MEMO TO: Mayor Dan Kelleher and City Council Members
FROM: Fred Satterstrom, Acting Planning Director
SUBJECT: CAR CARE CENTER REZONE #RZ-88-5
On December 21, 1989 the Kent Hearing Examiner recommended denial
of the request by Ed Linardic to rezone approximately 1.2 acres
from MRM, Medium Density Multifamily Residential, to GC, General
Commercial. The property is located on the north side of West
James Street, abutting SR 167 (Valley Freeway) along the east
property line. The applicant requested the rezone for a conceptual
development of an automatic lube and oil facility, self-service and
automated car wash, car detail and retail store.
In the event the City Council approves this rezone, staff
recommends nine conditions to mitigate the negative impacts. Those
conditions are outlined in the staff report dated November 21,
1988.

STAFF
REPRESENTATIVE: Lauri Anderson, Planner
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION: DENIAL
I. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Description of the Proposal
The proposal is for a rezone from MRM, Medium Density
Multifamily Residential, to GC, General Commercial, to
allow the development of an auto lube and oil facility,
self-serve and automated car wash, car detail shop and
retail store.
Approximately 13 , 019 square foot of building would be
constructed: a 3 , 848 square foot retail store, a 3 ,848
square foot car detail shop, an 1,800 square foot
automatic car wash, a 1, 624 square foot lube and oil
facility, and a 1, 900 square foot self serve car wash
with 5 vacuum bays.
It is proposed that approximately 70 percent of the site
would be covered with impervious surface: 26 percent
building coverage and 44 percent paving. Proposed
landscaping would account for approximately 30 percent
of the site, including 10 feet of perimeter landscaping
to the north and west, approximately 5 feet of perimeter
landscaping to the south along West James Street, and
15 to 55 feet of perimeter landscaping to the east, in
the METRO easement along SR 167 (Valley Freeway) .
Off-street parking is provided for 22 vehicles. Primary
access to the site would be from West James Street.

Staff Report

B. Location
The subject property is located on the north side of West
James Street, abutting SR 167 (Valley Freeway) along the
east property line.
C. Size of Property
The subject property is approximately 1. 2 acres in size.
D. Zoning
The proposed rezone site is within an MRM, Medium Density
Multifamily Residential, zoning district. Surrounding
property to the north is zoned M3 , General Industrial.
The property to the west is zoned MRM, Medium Density
Multifamily Residential . To the south, across West James
Street, the site borders a GC, General Commercial, zoning
district. The eastern boundary of the subject property
follows SR 167 (Valley Freeway) and the zoning on the
other side of the state route is M2 , Limited Industrial.
The lot meets the minimum lot size as specified in the
development standards for the GC zoning district. The
10 feet of required landscaping is provided along the
SR 167 right-of-way. However, the proposed site plan
does not meet other requirements of the zone. The
required side yard adjacent to the residential district
to the west is 20 feet. The aisle width between the self
serve car wash and vacuum bays does not meet the 26 foot
requirement for two-way traffic. One vacuum bay appears
to be located in a METRO easement. This easement allows
paving, but no structures.
In addition, the internal circulation pattern is
inadequate. Stacking space to the automatic car wash
blocks proposed parking. Stacking space to the self
serve carwash blocks the central drive aisle. Turnaround
space at the western ends of the parking areas is
insufficient; customers unable to find a stall in the
south parking lot, for example, would not have adequate
room to turn their car around to return to the central
drive aisle. The dumpster enclosure doors interfere with
the drive aisle for the exiting self-serve car wash
customers.
2
Staff Report
Car Care Center
WRZ-88-5
Correction of these deficiencies would require a
reorientation of the automated car wash and parking, and
relocation of the dumpster. In the Planning Department's
opinion, the required changes to the site plan to bring
the development up to Code would result in a loss of from
10 to 15 percent of the proposed building area.
E. Purpose of Staff Report
The purpose of this report is to analyze and discuss the
merits, i.e. appropriateness, of the proposed rezone.
An analysis of the goals, objectives and policies of the
City-wide Comprehensive Plan and Valley Floor Plan will
provide some basis for this evaluation.
F. Comprehensive and Valley Floor Plans
The City of Kent first adopted a City-wide Comprehensive
Land Use Plan in 1969 . The goals, objectives and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan represent an
expression of community intentions and aspirations
concerning the future of Kent and the area within the
Sphere of Interest. The Comprehensive Plan is used by
the Mayor, City Council, City Administrator, Planning
Commission, Hearing Examiner and City departments to
guide growth, development and spending decisions.
Residents, land developers, business representatives and
others may refer to the plan as a statement of the City's
intentions concerning future development.
The City of Kent has also adopted a number of subarea
plans that address specific concerns of certain areas of
the City. Like the City-wide Plan, the subarea plans
serve as policy guides for future land use in the City
of Kent. The proposed rezone site is served by the
Valley Floor subarea plan.
The following is a review of these plans as they relate
to the subject property.
CITY-WIDE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The City-wide Comprehensive Plan is made up of two
entities: the Comprehensive Plan Map and the written
Goals, Objectives and Policies. The Comprehensive Plan
Map designates the site as I, Industrial. The Goals,
Objectives and Policies outlined in the Plan, however,
3
Staff Report
Car Care Center _.
#RZ-88-5
do not support an intensive commercial or industrial use
of the proposed site.
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ELEMENT - NATURAL RESOURCES
OVERALL GOAL: PROTECT AND ENHANCE EXISTING NATURAL
RESOURCES.
GOAL 4 : Ensure the preservation and improvement of
existing atmospheric conditions.
Objective 2 : Balance land use to retain sufficient
vegetation and natural soils to aid in
the natural air purification process.
Planning Department Comment:
This Comprehensive Plan goal and objective promotes good
air quality for the residents of the City. As this
property abuts both a developed residential area and
SR 167, it is in a unique position to provide a
vegetative buffer between the automobile traffic
emissions from the Valley Freeway and the apartment
complex to the west. The site plan as proposed negates
this opportunity. In fact, as the Car Care Center is an
automobile dependent enterprise, the development would
promote an even lower ambient air quality in the area.
Therefore, the proposed rezone and development do not
appear to be consistent with the above goals and
policies.
CIRCULATION ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ESTABLISH A BALANCED, SAFE AND EFFICIENT
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR ALL MODES OF TRAVEL.
GOAL 1: Assure the provision of safe and efficient
routes and terminal facilities for vehicular traffic
moving within and through Kent.
Objective 1: Provide adequate trafficways for both
local and through traffic, separating
the systems when possible.
GOAL 2 : Assure safe, convenient pedestrian movement
within and through Kent.
4
Staff Report
Car Care Center
#RZ-88-5
objective 2 : Provide a network for safe, convenient
pedestrian movement throughout the
City.
Planning Department Comment:
These Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives outline the
policies which encourage through-routes outside
residential areas and discourage through-traffic routes
in residential areas, provide for separation of
pedestrian traffic from hazards or nuisances as
necessary, and provide pedestrian trafficways to and from
public transportation routes. The average daily traffic
(ADT) on James Street is 15, 400 vehicles. The proposed
development will add an estimated 748 daily trips to the
area--an increased trip production of 87 percent over
development allowed under existing zoning. The site will
add 25 new p.m. peak hour trips to the existing
1, 550 p.m. peak hour trips on James Street.
Traffic impacts at the intersection of North Washington
Avenue and James Street occur mainly in the p.m. peak
hour. The current level of service at the intersection
is "E" . The projected level of service will change to
"F" due to the increased traffic from the development and
projected growth.
Although James Street is already classified as a minor
arterial , the development of the Car Care Center--a
heavily automobile-dependent use--at its proposed
location would increase traffic flows onto and off of
James Street in the immediate vicinity of a fairly dense
apartment complex, a day care, two single family
residences, and two office developments.
Within walking distance from the site are the Kent Park
and Ride and Kent Commons--potential pedestrian
destinations. The increased automobile traffic in this
area as a result of the proposed development would
jeopardize the safety of local pedestrians and the
residential neighbors in the area. Therefore, the
proposed rezone and development do not appear to be
consistent with the above goals and policies.

OVERALL GOAL: ASSURE KENT RESIDENTS AN AESTHETIC AND
HEALTHFUL ENVIRONMENT.
GOAL 1: Maximize the aesthetic qualities of Kent's
natural and manmade environments.
Obiective 2 : Encourage a high degree of aesthetic
quality in the manmade environment.
Planning Department Comment:
This Comprehensive Plan goal and element supports the
policy requiring that new construction be designed and
built so as to enhance the quality of the neighborhood
in which it is located. The proposed Car Care Center
would not contribute to a healthful environment for the
apartment residents to the west of the site. Automobile
noise and emissions, glare from pavement and site
lighting, noise from the car wash and vacuum operations
all would negatively impact residential neighbors.
Unlike the existing office uses, commercial enterprises
generally operate after 5: 00 p.m. and on weekends--
allowing the operational noise and increased light from
signage, automobile headlights and storefronts, to
intrude into the evening and weekend hours when nearby
residents may be at home. Therefore, the proposed rezone
and development do not appear to be consistent with the
above goals and policies.
If the rezone should be approved, reorientation of the
buildings, drive aisles and parking, to confine noise and
glare to the central or eastern portion of the subject
property, should be required.
In addition, the height limit for signage should be
reduced from 30 feet to 15 feet, to prevent the aesthetic
intrusion of a large, illuminated sign onto adjoining
properties. The maximum area of said sign should not
exceed 50 square feet for the total of all faces. No one
face should exceed 25 square feet.
Construction activities, including clearing and
excavation, should be confined to between the hours of
8 : 00 a.m. and 5: 00 p.m. to protect the sensitive
6

#RZ-88-5
residential hours during the initial phases of
development.
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ELEMENT - WATERWAYS
OVERALL GOAL: PROVIDE OPTIMUM USAGE AND PRESERVATION OF
THE CITY 'S WATERWAYS.
GOAL 1: To permit optimal usage of the City's waterways
for fish, wildlife habitat, general recreation and
aesthetic enjoyment.
Objective 1: Preserve and enhance water quality.
Planning Department comment:
This goal and objective supports the policy which acts
to prevent pollution of both surface and subsurface water
resources. The Car Care Center as proposed would cover
the subject site with nearly 70 percent impervious
surface. This impervious surface would increase storm
water runoff, which would carry with it the pollutants
(oil, soap residue, etc. ) found on the site. For this
reason, the rezone (if approved) must carefully comply
with the storm water runoff and drainage conditions
applied through the SEPA process. In addition,
oil/water/grease separators should be installed on all
catch basins on site and routine maintenance of the catch
basins to remove accumulated oil/grease should be
required, waste oil storage should be covered and
contained, and dumpsters should be leak-proof and
covered.
HOUSING ELEMENT
GOAL 4 : ASSURE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY IN RESIDENTIAL
AREAS.
Planning Department comment:
This Comprehensive Plan goal identifies the need to
establish buffers (e.g. , open space, fencing, extensive
landscaping, etc. ) between existing residential areas and
adjacent nonresidential areas and/or uses. The rezone
of the subject property from MRM to GC would create a use
conflict between the apartment development to the west
and the proposed Car Care Center. If the application is
_. 7
Staff Report
Car Care Center
#RZ-88-5
approved, the 10 foot landscape barrier required by the
Zoning Code must be provided along the western boundary
of the site which abuts the Kenthurst Apartments. This
buffer should be of Type I landscaping. As outlined in
the SEPA conditions, an earth berm, wall or other means
of noise buffering, would also be constructed. To
further shield the adjoining apartments, the existing
trees along the western border of the site should be
retained.
In order to guarantee that the Car Care Center
landscaping is maintained, an underground irrigation
system should be provided for all landscaping.
VALLEY FLOOR PLAN
As with the City-wide Comprehensive Plan, the Valley
Floor Plan has two components: the Valley Floor Plan
Map, which designates the site as IBP, Industrial
Business Park, and the Goals, Objectives and Policies,
some of which are detailed below.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: PROMOTE CONTROLLED ECONOMIC GROWTH WITH
ORDERLY PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT, RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND
PRESERVATION.
GOAL 2 : Assure suitable locations for commercial
developments.
Objective 1: Minimize adverse physical impacts of
strip commercial developments.
Planning Department Comment:
The purpose and intent of the GC, General Commercial,
district is to provide areas for automobile-oriented
development and to recognize the existence of strip
development along major thoroughfares. This goal and
objective of the Valley Floor Plan underscores the Plan
policy that strip commercial districts should be
regulated and allowed only in suitable locations.
James Street, in the area of the proposed rezone, does
not support a commercial strip. A mixture of residential
and office uses share the space. The proposed
development is incompatible with the existing residential
8
Staff Report
Car Care Center
#RZ-88-5
and office/retail uses and would threaten the stability
of the neighborhood--perhaps setting a precedent for
continued strip development from West Valley Highway
along James Street. Therefore, the proposed rezone and
development do not appear to be consistent with the above
goals and objectives. Therefore, the proposed rezone and
development do not appear to be consistent with the above
goals.
HOUSING ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: INCREASE THE RESIDENTIAL POPULATION ON THE
VALLEY FLOOR, ASSURING A DECENT HOME AND SUITABLE LIVING
ENVIRONMENT.
GOAL 1: Preserve and expand existing residential
neighborhoods located close to necessary public
facilities and services.
Planning Department Comment:
The Valley floor has frequently been targeted as the site
of future multifamily development as the area is
generally close to services, public facilities and the
public transportation corridors in the city. The subject
site is zoned MRM, Medium Density Multifamily
Residential, in tandem with the adjoining property which
is currently developed with apartments. The site is
across the street and slightly to the east of an area of
small single family residences. The proposed rezone
would remove land zoned for residential use, in an area
compatible with residential development, which has good
access to services--the Kent Park and Ride, Kent Commons,
and a neighborhood day care, for example. This area is
within walking distance of Kent 's Central Business
District as well. Rather than encourage an expanding
node of residential development in this area, the rezone
would isolate the residential uses and threaten their
viability. Therefore, the proposed rezone and
development do not appear to be consistent with the above
goals.

II. HISTORY
A. Site History
A single family residence was located on the subject
property until 1975. At that time the house was moved
to another lot. The site is currently vacant.
B. Area History
The subject property is located in an area of mixed
development. Two single family residences to the
southwest of the site across James Street remain on
property divided under the Kenthurst Plat. The Kenthurst
Apartments--a 34 unit complex to the west of the site--
were built in the 19601s. Directly south of the site,
and across James Street, are the James Street Office and
James Street Business Center developments which were
completed in 1986 and 1988 , respectively. These
developments were built on land subdivided under the
Strains Addition Plat. The undeveloped property to the
north of the site (owned by Oberto Sausage Company) was
divided under the Western Farmers short plat in 1974 and
was further divided in 1976 under the Western Farmer' s
Replat.
III. LAND USE
Land use in the area includes both office (with a small amount
of retail) and residential.
1. The site itself is currently vacant.
2 . To the south, across West James Street, are the James
Street Office and James Street Business Center
developments, housing a variety of professional offices
and a retail floor covering outlet.
3 . To the north is undeveloped land owned by the Oberto
Sausage Company.
4 . Directly east of the site is SR 167 (Valley Freeway) ,
which is at a substantially higher elevation than the
surrounding properties. On the other side of the
overpass are Marmon Truck Service, the Kent Park and
Ride, Howard Manufacturing, and Kent Commons.
10
Staff Report
Car Care Center
IRZ-88-5
5. Directly west are the Kenthurst Apartments, a five-
structure, 34-unit complex on 1. 067 acres. Farther west
are the Smoke Tree Court Apartments which include 17
units on .263 acres. To the southwest of the site,
across James Street, are two single family residences.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
A. Environmental Assessment
A final Mitigated Declaration of Nonsignificance was
issued on October 31 1988 with the following conditions:
1. The developer of the Car Care Center shall do a
traffic study to identify all traffic impacts upon
the City of Kent road network and traffic signal
system. The study shall identify all intersections
in this area at service level "D, " "E" or "F" or
which will be at service level "E" or "F" due to
increased traffic volumes from the development.
The study shall then identify what improvements are
necessary to mitigate the development impacts
thereon. Upon agreement by the City with the
findings of the study and mitigation measures
outlined in the study, implementation and/or
construction of said mitigation measures shall be
the conditional requirement of the issuance of the
respective development permits.
In lieu of conducting the above traffic study,
constructing and/or implementing the respective
mitigation measures hereby, the developer may agree
to the following conditions to mitigate the traffic
impacts due to the Car Care Center development.
A. The developer shall execute an environmental
mitigation agreement in the form of a no-
protest LID agreement to participate in the
formation of an LID to construct the S.
224th/228th Street corridor project. The
minimum benefit to the above development is
estimated at $24 , 500 based upon 25 p.m. peak
hour trips entering and leaving the site and
the capacity of the S. 224th/228th Street
corridor.
11
Staff Report
Car Care Center
#RZ-88-5
The execution of this agreement will serve to
mitigate traffic impacts to the above mentioned
intersections and road system by committing
funding for the S . 224th/228th Street corridor
which will provide additional capacity for
traffic volumes within the area of the
mentioned development.
2 . Provide on-site biofiltration and detention of storm
water prior to discharging into the City' s system.
3 . Drains from the lube and oil facility shall be
directed into the sanitary sewer system rather than
into the storm system.
4 . Type I landscaping (solid screen) shall be required
along the western boundary of the site. In addition
to the Type I landscaping, an earth berm, wall or
other means of noise buffering shall be incorporated
along the west boundary.
5. Prior to removal of any trees on site, the developer
must submit a tree plan which locates all trees six,
inch caliper or larger that will be removed.
B. Significant Physical Features
1. Topography and Vegetation
The subject site is presently undeveloped ground.
The topography is relatively level, with a slight
north to south slope (3% maximum) . The parcel is
fringed on the north and west by large deciduous
trees. Some evergreen trees are located in the
western portion of the site. Blackberry bushes and
other underbrush covers the site, except in the
south-central section of the property--presumably
the site of the removed single family residence.
C. Significant Social Features
1. Street System
The subject property has access to West James
Street, which is classified as a minor arterial.
The street has a public right-of-way width of 60
12
Staff Report
Car Care Center
#RZ-88-5
feet while the actual width of paving is 44 feet.
The average daily traffic count on West James Street
is 15, 400 vehicle trips per day. Development from
the proposed rezone will create an increased trip
production of 87% over development allowed under
existing zoning. Traffic mitigation conditions for
the overall street system have been determined as
part of the SEPA review process. The additional 748
automobile trips to the area, estimated as a result
of the proposed rezone, will increase traffic in the
vicinity of the apartments, single-family
residences, day care and offices nearby.
2 . Water System
An existing 10-inch water main line is available in
James Street to serve the subject property.
3 . Sanitary Sewer System
An existing 18-inch sanitary sewer main in James
Street is available to serve the subject property.
In addition, a 78-inch Metro sanitary sewer main is
located on site.
4 . Storm Water System
Storm drainage facilities would be addressed as part
of the development process. Mitigating conditions
have been applied through SEPA to control the
pollutant runoff from the Car Care Center
development. oil/water/grease separators should be
installed on all catch basins on site, waste oil
storage should be covered and contained, and
dumpsters should be leak-proof and covered to
further protect ground and surface waters in the
vicinity.
5. LID' s
No LID' s are on record at this time.
V. MEETINGS CORRESPONDENCE, AND LEGAL NOTICES
No meetings, other than the SEPA Review Committee, have been
held with regard to this site. All appropriate comments and
concerns have been included in this report.

VI. CONSULTED DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
The following departments and agencies were advised of this
application:
City Administrator City Attorney
Director of Public Works Chief of Police
Parks & Recreation Director Fire Chief
Building Official City Clerk
In addition to the above, all persons owning property which
lies within 200 feet of the site were notified of the
application and of the December 7 , 1988 public hearing.
Staff comments have been incorporated in the staff report
where applicable.
VII. PLANNING DEPARTMENT REVIEW
The Planning Department has reviewed this application in -
relation to the Comprehensive and Valley Floor Plans, present
zoning, land use, street system, environmental concerns and
comments from other departments and finds that:
A. The City-wide Comprehensive Plan Map designates the site
as I. Industrial.
B. The Valley Floor Comprehensive Plan Map designates the
site as IBP, Industrial Business Park.
C. The site is presently zoned MRM, Medium Density
Multifamily Residential .
D. The site is currently undeveloped.
E. The property is vegetated with several large deciduous
trees, some evergreens and heavy undergrowth,
particularly in the western and northern portions of the
site.
F. Land use in the area is a mix of residential and office
uses. Land to the north, owned by Oberto Sausage
Company, is undeveloped. The Kenthurst and Smoke Tree
Court Apartments are located to the west. James Street
Office and James Street Business Center house
14
Staff Report
Car Care Center
#RZ-88-5
professional offices and a small retail floor covering
outlet to the south across James Street. Two single
family residences are located to the southwest. Elevated
SR 167 (Valley Freeway) runs along the eastern perimeter
of the subject property.
G. The lot meets or exceeds the minimum lot size as
specified in the development standards for the GC,
General Commercial, zoning district. However, the
proposed site plan does not conform to present GC zoning
requirements.
H. The proposed development would have access to W James
Street.
VIII . STANDARDS AND CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION A REZONE APPLICATION
Standards and criteria for evaluating rezone applications are
described in the Kent City Code, Chapter 15. 09. 050,
Amendments ._ 3 . Standards and Criteria for Granting a Request
for Rezone. This Chapter states that, "The following
standards and criteria shall be used by the Hearing Examiner
and City Council to evaluate a request for a rezone. Such an
amendment shall only be granted if the City Council determines
that the request is consistent with these standards and
criteria. " The five criteria are presented below, followed
by the Planning Department's evaluation of the Car Care Center
rezone application with respect to these criteria.
A. The proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.
Planning Department Finding:
The Comprehensive Plan is made up of two entities: The
Comprehensive Plan Map and the written Goals, Objectives and
Policies. Although the Comprehensive and Valley Floor Plan
Maps foresee a more intensive use of the site (I, Industrial,
or IBP, Industrial Business Park) , the written Goals,
Objectives and Policies of these Plans do not support the
rezone to GC, General Commercial. The Comprehensive and
Valley Floor Plans ' Goals, Objectives and Policies do support
the maintenance, and expansion, of residential development on
the Valley Floor, where it is close to public facilities and
services. This site is close to public transportation, a
neighborhood day care, Kent Commons, and is within walking
distance of the Central Business District. This residential
15
Staff Report
Car Care Center
#RZ-88-5
neighborhood should, therefore, be maintained and, perhaps,
expanded. A rezone to GC would be inconsistent with this
mission.
B. The proposed rezone and subsequent development of the
site would be compatible with development in the
vicinity.
Planning Department Finding:
The Car Care Center rezone is incompatible with surrounding
land uses, which are of a less intense residential and office
nature. The increased automobile traffic, fumes, light, and
noise resulting from this development would negatively impact
the multifamily and single family developments to the west and
the professional office/retail developments to the south. In
addition, the rezone would set a precedent for extension of
the West Valley Highway commercial strip along James Street.
The Car Care Center development as proposed would be contrary
to the other development in the vicinity.
C. The proposed rezone will not unduly burden the
transportation system in the vicinity of the property
with significant adverse impacts which cannot be
mitigated.
Planning Department Finding
The proposed rezone will add 748 daily automobile trips to the
area, including 25 p.m. peak hour trips. This is an increased
trip production of 87 percent over development allowed under
the existing zoning. Although mitigating conditions to the
overall traffic system have been applied through SEPA, the
impacts of increased traffic from this automobile-intensive
use to the immediate neighborhood would impact the safety of
local residents, office workers, and pedestrians. In
addition, the proposed development would increase traffic at
the intersection of North Washington Avenue and James Street-
-an intersection already at level of service "E. "
D. Circumstances have changed substantially since the
establishment of the current zoning district to warrant
the proposed rezone.
16
Staff Report
Car Care Center
#RZ-88-5
Planning Department Finding:
The multifamily and single-family residences near the subject
site have been in existence for some time. The recent
professional office development which has occurred in the area
has been more compatible with the local residential uses than
that provided for by surrounding zoning designations. For
example, the industrially zoned property to the north of the
proposed development remains undeveloped, and the most recent
Oberto Sausage Company expansion has taken place farther to
the north, away from the residential uses. The new
professional office developments to the south, across James
Street, are located in a General Commercial zone, but are of
a less intense nature which is considered compatible with
residential development. The proponent of a rezone has the
burden of proof and there is no presumption in favor of a
rezone. The developer of the Car Care Center has not proved
that conditions have changed substantially to warrant the
replacement of the MRM, Medium Density Multifamily, zoning
with GC, General Commercial, zoning. In fact, the applicant
has submitted no information which is persuasive to support
his request for the more intense land use.
E. The proposed rezone will not adversely affect the health,
safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the City
of Kent.
Planning Department Finding:
As has been shown, the rezone would have several negative
impacts on the residential and office users surrounding the
proposed rezone site. Neighbors' health would be threatened
by the fumes, noise, glare, and increased automobile traffic
associated with the Car Care Center. Pedestrian safety would
be jeopardized by the highly auto-intensive use. The general
welfare of the citizens who use the areas adjacent to this
site would be adversely impacted.
IX. CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION
A. Upon review of the merits of this request and the Code
criteria for granting a rezone, the City staff recommends
DENIAL.
17
Staff Report
Car Care Center
#RZ-88-5
B. In the event the rezone is approved, the following
conditions should be applied to mitigate the negative
impacts:
1. The site plan shall be redesigned to conform to all
code requirements.
2 . Buildings, drive aisles and parking shall be
reoriented so as to confine noise, glare, and auto
traffic as much as possible to the central or
eastern portions of the site.
3 . oil/water/grease separators shall be installed on
all catch basins on site and routine maintenance of
the catch basins to remove accumulated oil/grease
shall be required.
4 . Waste oil storage shall be covered and contained.
5. Dumpsters shall be leak-proof and covered.
6. The existing trees along the western boundary of the "
site shall be retained.
7. All landscape areas shall contain underground
irrigation systems.
8 . Construction activities, including clearing and
excavation, shall be restricted to the hours between
8 : 00 a.m. and 5: 00 p.m.
9 . The height limit for a freestanding sign shall be
reduced to 15 feet. The total of all faces of said
sign shall not exceed 50 square feet. A single face
may not exceed 25 square feet.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION
OF THE HEARING EXAMINER FOR THE CITY OF KENT
FILE NO: CAR CARE CENTER #RZ-88-5
APPLICANT: ED LINARDIC
REQUEST: A request for a rezone from MRM, Medium Density
Multifamily Residential, to GC, General Commercial.
LOCATION: The subject property is located on the north side of
West James Street, abutting SR 167 (Valley Freeway)
along the east property line.
APPLICATION FILED: August 26, 1988
DEC. OF NONSIGNIFIANCE: October 3, 1988
MEETING DATE: December 7, 1988
RECOMMENDATION ISSUED: December 21, 1988
RECOMMENDATION: DENIAL

Ed White, Public Works Department
PUBLIC TESTIMONY: Ed Linardic, applicant
WRITTEN TESTIMONY: None
INTRODUCTION
After due consideration of the evidence presented by the applicant, all
evidence elicited during the public hearing, and as a result of the
personal inspection of the subject property and surrounding area by the
Hearing Examiner, the following findings of fact and conclusions shall
constitute the decision of the Hearing Examiner on this application.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The applicant, Ed Linardic, requested a rezone from MRM, Medium
Density Multifamily Residential, to GC, General Commercial, for
a conceptual development which has been named "Car Care Center" .
1
Findings and Recommendation
Car Care Center
#RZ-88-5
2 . The proposed development is for an automatic lube and oil
facility, self-service and automated car wash, car detail and
retail store. The subject property is 1. 2 acres in size and is
located on the north side of W. James Street abutting SR 167
(the Valley Freeway) along the east property line.
3 . A number of buildings would be constructed on the site including
a 3 , 848 square foot retail store, a 3 ,848 square foot car detail
shop, an 1, 800 square foot automatic car wash, a 1, 624 square
foot lube and oil facility and a 1,900 square foot self-service
car wash containing five vacuum bays.
4 . The proposal would result in approximately 70 percent of the
site being covered with impervious surface of which 26 percent
would be building coverage and 44 percent would be paving. The
site, as proposed, would result in 30 percent of the site
consisting of landscaping and off-street parking would be
provided for 22 vehicles.
5 . The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject site as I,
Industrial.
6. The property located to the north of the subject site is zoned
M3 , General Industrial . The property to the west of the site
is zoned MRM, Medium Density Multifamily Residential, and to the
south across West James Street the site borders a GC, General
Commercial, zoning district. The lot meets the minimum lot
size. However, there are a number of problems with the site
plan not meeting the requirements of the Zoning Code.
7 . Concern was expressed by staff at the time of the public hearing
with respect to the impact which the proposed development would
have on apartment residents to the west of the site. These
areas of concern included automobile noise and emission, glare
from pavement and site lighting, noise from the car wash and
vacuum operations particularly since the automated car wash
would be open 24-hours per day.
8 . The staff report with its recommendation that the rezone be
denied is incorporated herein by reference as though set forth
in full.
2
Findings and Recommendation
Car Care Center
#RZ-88-5
CONCLUSIONS
1. The Zoning Code sets forth a series of criteria which must be
established by the evidence prior to the time that a rezone can
be granted.
2. The first of these criteria is that the proposed rezone is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan
Map designates the subject site for industrial uses. The goals,
policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and the Valley
Floor Plan do not promote this use in its resultant intrusion
in to the multiple family neighborhood located adjacent to the
site.
3 . It must further be established that the proposed rezone and
subsequent development of the site would be compatible with
development in the vicinity. The evidence establishes that in
fact the car care center as proposed would be incompatible with
surrounding land uses. These surrounding land uses are of a
less intense residential and office nature. The impacts
associated with the proposed automobile use which include but
are not limited to fumes, light, and noise would negatively
impact the uses legally existing in the neighborhood.
Accordingly, the applicant has failed to established that the
proposed rezone and subsequent development of the site is
compatible with development in the vicinity.
4 . Further, the applicant must establish that the proposed rezone
will not unduly burden the transportation system in the vicinity
of the property with significant adverse impacts which cannot
be mitigated. The evidence establishes that the rezone will add
748 vehicle trips per day including 25 p.m. peak hour trips.
These vehicular trips increase the trips production 87 percent
over development which is permitted outright under existing
zoning. While some mitigating measures are possible, the
proposed rezone simply would unduly burden the transportation
system in the vicinity.
5. Further, the applicant must establish that circumstances have
changed substantially since the establishment of the current
zoning district to warrant the proposed rezone. As the
undersigned has often indicated, the proponent of a rezone has
the burden of proof and there is no legal presumption in favor
of a rezone. In this instance, the proponent has failed to
establish that circumstances have changed substantially to
warrant the change in zoning sought. The industrially zoned
property to the north of the proposed development remains
3

undeveloped and recent expansion of industrial uses at the
Oberto Sausage Company has taken place further to the north.
6. Finally, the applicant must establish that the proposed rezone
will not adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare
of the citizens of the City of Kent. This criteria is not
established by the evidence. The rezone would have considerable
negative impacts on the surrounding vicinity in the form of
fumes, noise, glare and increased vehicular traffic. Pedestrian
safety would be jeopardized.
RECOMMENDATION
For each of the above reasons, the recommendation of the Hearing
Examiner on the requested rezone is DENIAL.

5. . .why won't it run through Lots 1 to 8? Mr. Scarsella inquired
as to when the Hearing Examiner's recommendation would be made on
the Hemlock applications.
Ms. VanDerbeek explained that it would 14 days from today's date.
(2-1-170) Peter Ploegman, 23637 116th Avenue SE, asked what was the
purpose of the landscape easement between Lots 1 through 5. Would
that pathway leave an opening for people to trespass onto his
property?
There was no further public testimony.
Ms. VanDerbeek asked for rebuttal testimony.
(2-1-182) Ms. McClung commented the condition for the landscape
easement was a part of the State Environmental Policy Act and is
separate from the Hearing Examiner process. The condition was only
for 300 feet since the access road would buffer the residences in
that area. The ten foot buffer will be here which will cause a
shift of the road to the south and these lots will need to be
adjusted.
(2-1-212) Mr. Gill commented it was the intent of the Engineering
Department to fence off the easement so it couldn't be a pathway
onto adjacent properties. The road is inadequate so the SEPA
conditions are to provide a minimum of two 12-foot lanes with a wide
shoulder; this means the ditch would be piped and gravel with
asphalt put in the shoulder to provide a safer place to walk.
(2-1-240) Anthony DiPanganzio, applicant, 23607 Highway 99 #1C,
Edmonds, WA 98020, commented it was too bad the information wasn't
received earlier. In regard to the easement, he felt the
Engineering Department did think of a walkway going north out of the
other piece property. He felt there should be a circular walkway
and there was no basis for the condition as made. He didn't feel
it was right to be required to improve 212th along the frontage of
the property.
There was no further testimony.
The hearing was closed at 4 : 55 p.m.

Rezone
#RZ-88-5
(Lauri Anderson, Planner)
The third item on the agenda was a public hearing to consider the
request by Ed Linardic, 1836 Westlake Avenue N. #106, Seattle, WA
98109 , for a rezone of approximately 1.2 acres from MRM, Medium
Density Multifamily Residential, to GC, General Commercial, to allow
the development of an auto lube and oil facility, self-service and
automated car wash, car detail shop and retail store. The property
is located on the north side of W. James Street abutting SR 167
(Valley Freeway) along the east property line.
(2-1-316) Lauri Anderson, Kent Planning Department, presented the
staff report. View foils were shown depicting 1) the location of
the site, and 2) surrounding zoning. Ms. Anderson named some of the
uses surrounding the proposed project. A video of the site was
shown. Another view foil was displayed showing the schematic design
of the proposed development. Ms. Anderson stated there were several
concerns about this project. These concerns were examined.
The city-wide Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and policies were
reviewed. The criteria that must be considered when a rezone is
requested were mentioned. Ms. Anderson mentioned the traffic
conditions in the area. The staff is recommending denial of this
request.
Ms. VanDerbeek asked how many service bays would be available in the
lube and oil area.
Ms. Anderson commented the building is 1, 600 square feet in size.
However, the exact number of bays is unknown.
Ms. VanDerbeek asked if the applicant would like to comment.
(2-1-614) Ed Linardic, 1836 Westlake Avenue N. #106, Seattle, WA
98109, architect for applicant. The site will be brought up to
Zoning Code standards. A sketch of the proposed project was shown.
This is a service area only, no gasoline will be sold. The car wash
area next to the detail shop will be semi-automated; there will be
people there washing the cars and providing extra service. The
semi-automated car wash would be open approximately eight hours a
day. The self-service car wash would be open 24-hours a day. The
detail shop has enough room for six cars at a time. Both the detail

shop and the semi-automated car wash will have offices located in
the buildings. Mr. Linardic stated the site plan can be revised and
some reductions made in order to have the buildings out of the
easement area.
Ms. VanDerbeek commented the site plan does not meet Zoning Code
standards for parking.
Mr. Linardic commented the traffic would mainly be coming in for car
washing or detailing and there would not be that many retail sales
on the property. The lube and oil area would be similar to a Minit
Lube operation. This area was designed to be a one-stop car care
area. He commented there would not be a problem with meeting the
conditions as proposed in the staff report. Mr. Linardic commented
this area would not be conducive to industrial uses. He felt that
this car service area would be better next to a residential use than
an industrial use. Further, this area because of its location on
the street would be not develop as a multifamily development.
Ms. VanDerbeek asked what type of goods would be marketed on the
site.
Mr. Linardic stated car care amenities would be sold. There would
not be a mini mart located on the site.
There was no public testimony.
Ms. VanDerbeek asked for rebuttal comments.
(2-2-230) Ms. Anderson commented the staff still recommends denial .
The staff agrees that a residential development would not be
suitable for this area. This particular use would not be
appropriate. It was felt that having a 24-hour self-service car
wash would have a negative effect on the surrounding residential
uses. Ms. Anderson felt the existing neighborhoods should be
protected.
There was no further comments.
The public hearing closed at 5: 30 p.m.
