Harris, Planning Director CITY OF KENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT (253) 856-5454 STAFF REPORT FEBRUARY 1, 2000 MEMO TO: MAYOR WHITE AND MEMBERS OF THE KENT CITY COUNCIL FROM: DIANA C. NELSON, PLANNER SUBJECT: #ZCA -99-2 OFF-PREMISE SIGNS ZONING CODE AMENDMENT INTRODUCTION Attached with this staff report are the updated City of Kent Off-Premise Sign Inventory (as of January 2000) and the sign code amendment proposal discussed at the January 18, 2000 City Council meeting in an ordinance prepared by the Law Department to allow adoption of the proposed language. BACKGROUND At the January 18, 2000 Kent City Council meeting, the Council considered three alternate proposals to amend the zoning code provisions relating to off-premise signs or "billboards". When this report refers to billboards, it is referring, to all off-premise signs. The City Council voted against two of the alternative proposals and set February 1 as the date of the public hearing for the third proposed amendment. The proposed amendment will cap the number of billboard sign structures at the number existing at the time the ordinance becomes effective (currently 44). However, billboards on land annexed by the city in the future will be added to that number. This amendment will allow the number of sign faces to increase to a maximum of two faces per sign structure and allow revolving tri- vision faces or moving sign parts on each sign face. Electronic video display-type signs will be prohibited. The amendment will authorize an increase in total sign area from 300 square feet per sign structure to 300 square feet per sign face or a total of 600 square feet per sign structure. With the use of tri-vision, the permitted amount of leaseable sign space will increase from the 300 square feet currently allowed by the sign code to 1,800 square feet per sign structure. The r" proposed amendment will allow the repair, replacement and relocation of existing billboards. The relocation of inventoried billboards will be limited to locating in the M1, M2 and M3 zones within a two year time period from the date of demolition of the old sign with a one-year extension possible. Billboards remaining in other zones will be considered to be legal non- conforming. The City will be required to complete and update the off-premise sign inventory "n 1Ih AA'E:. so, /hEN"r,x% XSHINGTON 4Fo.22-589$/TELEPHONE 12i 11 Nib-i1OU 9r T Premise Sins Lonim, Cade Amendment azcn �-2_ of , February 1. 2000 Page 2 and sign companies will be required to provide information about the dates of installation of and alterations to their billboards within the City, before any new sign permits are issued. Sign companies will be required to obtain permits for any new sign faces and any existing tri-vision faces without permits, but not required to obtain permits for existing stationary sign faces without permits. Billboards will be required to be kept in good repair and if a safety hazard exists, the Building Official under existing procedures will handle enforcement. Staff from the Planning Department will be prepared to present this issue and answer questions at the February 1, 2000 meeting.

Three comments were made regarding being told that they r were not allowed on the east side of the gate and being taunted at the gate . One speaker demanded a town hall meeting regarding the issue. 3 Kent City Council Minutes January 18, 2000 .� TRAFFIC Val Jones spoke in favor of the gate, noting that CONROL drug dealing and burglaries have taken place.

He clarified that the intent of the motion is to defer a decision on the formal closure of 256th to after the six-month trial and study period, and to pay for the electronically guided gate . Brotherton seconded, Clark went on to explain that the safety of school children has always been the highest priority, and that, sadly, a neighbor has misinterpreted the meaning of the gate . He emphasized that the gate is to slow traffic, not to prevent people from walking on the street . YINGLING MOVED to end the study now and remove the gate . He said he cannot tolerate the inadver- tently created symbol of discrimination. His motion died for lack of a second. Orr expressed thanks to those who attended this meeting and those who spoke on the issue . She said it is reprehensible that someone in the neighborhood would tell anyone they can' t walk on the other side of the gate. She reiterated that the gate is simply a traffic calming device, and spoke in favor of completing the six-month study.

Orr announced that the Nelsons have requested that this item be postponed. It was 'noted that it will appear on the agenda of April 4th. ZONING CODE (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 7B) AMENDMENT Off-Premises Sians ,Zoning Code Amendment ZCA-99-2 . This item was postponed at the November 16 , 1999 Council meeting. On April 12 , 1999, the Land Use and Planning Board held a public hearing and made a recommendation to the Council regarding the regulation of billboards . The Board' s recommen- dation is for a "no net gain" policy on billboards that allows the existing signs to continue but disallows new billboards . This recommendation was forwarded to the City Council Public Works and Planning Committee in May 1999 . Following the Committee ' s review, the matter was referred back to the Board which confirmed their original recommendation. Diana Nelson of the Planning Department explained that the off-site sign code has not changed for over 26 years . She noted that there are currently 44 billboard structures in the City, and 70 sign faces . She added that 58% of the structures conform to the zoning, 36% conform to design standards, 51% have permits and 25% are now tri- vision. She pointed out that the current code would allow 134 billboards on the 192/196 corri- dor, East Valley Highway, the 212/216 corridor and the 272/277 corridor. She then explained Alternative 1 , which was chosen by the Planning Board, and noted that the Board added the provision that the Council examine issues of derelict or abandoned signs and existing tri- vision billboards . City Attorney Lubovich noted that there are three alternatives, and explained the differences. CLARK MOVED the Planning Board' s proposal with Alternative 2 . Woods seconded. 6 Kent City Council Minutes January 18, 2000 ZONING CODE Jo Ladd Clark, 26121 Woodland Way South, presented AMENDMENT a petition signed by citizens who would like to see the removal of all billboards in Kent, along with the reasons for that request . She noted that other cities have taken steps to remove bill- boards, and said that this type of advertising cannot be avoided. WOODS MOVED to make the petition a part of the record. Orr seconded and the motion carried. Nicole Rolfness, Director of Community Relations for AK Media NW presented copies of drawings submitted for their Larger than Life contest . She outlined other programs they are involved with to make Kent a better place in which to live and work. She spoke in favor of Councilmember Yingling' s proposal as a way to work with the City to advertise in the community. She read a letter from the President of Aqua-Quip, 405 Washington Avenue North, Kent, reiterating the r` importance advertising plays in the continued growth and success of their business . Pat Seltzer, 16915 88th Avenue East, said Lamar Advertising has been in business for nearly one hundred years and that they work with the community leaders and advertisers . He added that they donate approximately 20* of their business to the community, and said they support Alternative 3 . Frank Podanv. President of AK Media NW, said that Alternative Nos . 1 and 2 do not motivate the industry to react to the needs of concerned citizens . He said his company has offered to do something about the issues, and said capping the number of billboards is a reasonable solution. He was opposed to an outright ban, and read a letter from the Kent Parks Department thanking them for promoting their activities . Yingling opined that Alternatives 1 and 2 are so restrictive that it is not profitable, and urged the Council to consider Alternative 3 as a friendly amendment . Clark did not accept the �— friendly amendment . 7 Kent City Council Minutes January 18, 2000 ZONING CODE Clark spoke in opposition to billboards and AMENDMENT said that most of the billboards in Kent are from national corporations rather than local businesses . He said he is willing to compromise by leaving it as status quo. Woods spoke in favor of Clark' s motion and thanked the Land Use and Planning Board for their hard work and for their fair and balanced proposal . YINGLING MADE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION to accept Alternative 3 as the billboard ordinance proposal . Brotherton seconded• Diana Nelson noted that the public has not seen that alternative and recom- mended that a public hearing be held in order to make their opinions known. She expressed concern about some of things in Alternative 3 . Yingling withdrew his substitute motion for the purpose of voting on the first motion. WOODS MOVED to make visuals showing a billboard in a park and another showing the lack of maintenance of billboards a part of the public record. Orr seconded and the motion carried. Clark' s motion then failed with Clark and Woods in favor, and Brotherton, Epperly, Orr and Yingling opposed. YINGLING MOVED to accept Alternative 3 as the billboard sign ordinance .

MAINTENANCE (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 6L) Replacement Copier Mental. AUTHORIZE the two-year rental of the Xerox DC265 Copier from Xerox under the State of Washington Office of Procurement Contract #05899 . The print shop currently has two production copiers, which were leased three years ago as part r� of the City' s fleet of copiers . The contract for these two copiers expires at the end of 1999 . The 9 Kent City Council Minutes January 18 , 2000 MAINTENANCE fleet contract allows for up to two additional extensions of the contract, into years four and five respectively. Staff would like to extend the contract on one of the copiers, the Xerox 5100 for another year. This machine will become the secondary copier, as it is nearing the end of its life cycle . The second copier, (a Royal 6090) has not per- formed well , nor has the vendor been successful or responsive in providing support on the machine. This copier has been the secondary machine . Staff would like to replace the Royal 6090 with a digitally connect Xerox DC 265 copier/printer, which would take over the role of primary copier, running the majority of the print shop copies . This would afford the City an opportunity to look at and test out networked digital technology (fairly new in the market) in a controlled environment prior to considering it for future use throughout the City' s copier fleet . The amount of this copier technology has been budgeted for year 2000 . PUBLIC (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 6K) INFORMATION 2000 Kent Reporter gontract.

The program shall provide an alternative to, or complement curbside collection of yard debris and grasscycling. Proiect Description: The RECIPIENT shall conduct four compost bin distribution events. The events will take place each spring and fall of this grant cycle. Promotional advertising shall occur prior to the events. A combined total of 700 compost bins will be distributed at the four events. The RECIPIENT shall provide educational materials at each event, including a "home composting wheel" demonstrating proper use of the bins, Natural Lawn Care booklets, and grasscycling brochures. A King County Master Composter shall be at each event to provide on-site demonstrations on recycling yard waste and gardening with compost. Composting videos shall be made available for checkout from the library and the Public Works Department. The RECIPIENT shall conduct a survey of residents who purchased the bins to evaluate how effectively they are working. A copy of the findings shall be submitted to the DEPARTMENT. In accordance with Administrative Requirements for Eeologv Grants and Loans, WDOE 91-18 (Revised July 1995), if the RECIPIENT charges residents a fee for the compost bins, the income received from the sale of the bins shall be listed as a credit on voucher support Form C2 when requesting reimbursement from the DEPARTMENT. The 60% state share of the grant funds shall be applied to net costs after deducting the project income. 3 of 8 v 10139 vention Grant City of Kent Expected Outcomes/Impacts: Previous bin distribution events have indicated a 90% usage rate by participants that purchased the bins. Based on this figure the RECIPIENT expects that successful distribution and use of 700 compost bins, at the estimated annual waste prevention per household of 600 pounds, will divert 189 tons of yard waste from entering the landfill. This yard waste diversion will assist the RECIPIENT in reaching its 65% waste reduction and recycling goal. CPG BUDGET PROJECT TASK MAXIMUM ELIGIBLE COST 1.
