ZONING CODE (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3E) AMENDMENT REMOVED AT THE REQUEST OF EDWARD COSTELLO Transitional Housing Facilities. ADOPTION of Ordinance 2832 amending the Kent City Code to define 4 February 21, 1989 ZONING CODE transitional housing facilities and allow such AMENDMENT facilities as principally permitted uses in the GC, General Commercial zone. Edward Costello, 14514 N.E. 3rd Street, Bellevue, submitted a letter on behalf of his mother, Mrs. Mary Costello, who lives at 1333 West Morton Street. DOWELL MOVED that the letter be made a part of the record. White seconded and the motion carried. Mr. Costello stated that he is concerned that there has never been a public hearing which involved the residents and property owners of the area, and requested that such a hearing be held before the Council approves this item. Upon Dowell's question, Costello stated that the property is valued at $250,000 - $275,000. Dowell noted that one of the reasons given for eliminating the hearing in this zone was to do away with the $650 application charge and said it seems a small amount for a $275,000 piece of property which may or may not cme off the tax rolls. Dowell noted that the proposed Housing Element Update states that citizens and community organizations have legitimate concerns about the impact of assisted housing projects and should have the opportunity to express their concerns before the plans are finalized. He stated that he objects to changing the code and concurs with Mr. Costello. Mayor Kelleher clarified that Dowell had stated he did not object to the use but to the fact that the requirement for a public hearing would be eliminated. The ordinance proposed tonight would permit transitional housing facilities as principally permitted uses in the GC (General Commercial) Zone. WOODS MOVED to approve Ordinance 2832. Mann seconded. Woods stated that the hearing had been held at the Planning Commission level, and that the process could be changed in the future if needed. She also pointed out that this provision addresses only those uses for transitional housing for 20 or fewer people and that hearings would be held for any transitional housing projects for 20 or more people. 5 February 21, 1989 ZONING CODE She also pointed out that other uses such as bowling AMENDMENT alleys and auto body shops are provided outright, without a hearing. Woods said that under current conditions the house could be rented to 20 people, without a hearing, and that the only issue is that it is going to be a home operated by an agency. She urged the councilmembers to vote for the ordinance. Dowell stated that to eliminate the public hearing for one specific use seems discriminatory. Costello denied that there is any concern about a public agency using this facility for the intended purpose, and said the problem is whether it will work. He pointed out that the house was built in the 1920's and is in extremely marginal condition. He asked that this item be reviewed in a public manner before a decision is made. The motion to adopt Ordinance 2832 amending the Kent City Code to define transitional housing facilities and allow such facilities as principally permitted uses in the GC, General Commercial Zone carried with Dowell voting nay. REZONES (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3F) Kent Hill Apartments. ADOPTION of Ordinance No. 2833 providing for the conditional rezone of the Kent Hill Apartments from single family residential to garden density residential. Ruth/Kent East Hill Shopping Center Rezone. The Mayor noted that Ordinance 2838 provides for the conditional rezone of the Kent East Hill Shopping Center from MRM, Medium Density Residential and O, Professional and Office to CC, Community Commercial. Acting Planning Director Satterstrom noted that since discussion of the issue at the last Council meeting, a new condition has been added, which deals with fire protection. This condition is #14 in the rezone ordinance and reads as follows: 14. Additional fire protection measures, including requiring the building to be equipped with 1-1 February 21, 1989 REZONES sprinklers, may be applied at the time of development plan review, if so determined by the Fire Department. Satterstrom stated that this condition was inadvertently omitted from the conditions considered by the Hearing Examiner, and noted that the applicant has agreed to the condition. WOODS MOVED that Ordinance 2838 be approved, including Condition #14. Johnson seconded and the motion carried. PRELIMINARY Canterbury Preliminary Subdivision No. SU-88-5. SUBDIVISION This public meeting will consider the Hearing Examiner's recommendation of conditional approval of a 20 lot single-family residential preliminary subdivision located on the northeast corner of proposed 100th Ave. S.E. and S.E. 248th St. Laurie Anderson of the Planning Department noted that the site is approximately 4.5 acres, and that the minimum lot size is 7200 sq. ft. WOODS MOVED to adopt the findings of the Hearing Examiner and to concur with the Hearing Examiner's recommendation of conditional approval. Johnson seconded and the motion carried. ANNEXATION East Hill Well Annexation No. 2, Area C - Zoning. ZONING On March 15, 1988 the Kent City Council adopted (EAST HILL Ordinance 2771 establishing the zoning for East Hill COMMUNITY Well Annexation No. 2. A question has been raised WELL #2 as to whether or not the ordinance reflects the AREA C) Council intent as stated at the March 1, 1988 meeting as it relates to the zoning for the undeveloped portion of the Stratford Arms property. Ordinance 2837 is presented amending Ordinance 2771 to reflect the Council's intent that the undeveloped Stratford Arms property be zoned medium density multifamily residential. BITEMAN MOVED that Ordinance 2837 amending Ordinance 2771, clarifying the Council's intent that the undeveloped portion of the Stratford Arms site be zoned medium density multifamily residential. Houser seconded. 7 February 21, 1989 ANNEXATION Biteman pointed out that the intent of the motion ZONING was to include a piece of property and because of (EAST HILL the complexity of the issue, in the re -writing of COMMUNITY the ordinance it became diverted from the original WELL #2 intent and instead of taking the entire property AREA C) into consideration, the individual's property was split. He said that when an administrative error has taken place it should be rectified, and that is the intent of the ordinance presented tonight. Johnson pointed out that he had made the motion adopting Ordinance 2771. He said that the transcript is clear as to what the wording was and what the zoning intent was. He disagreed with Biteman that if was an administrative error, and said it is Council error if the Council misinterpreted the motion they were voting on. He said that the Council should not now alter the process. Johnson said that the Council had discussed definitions of developed and undeveloped property. He defined development as "a thing that is developed, specifically a number of structures on a large tract of land built by real estate developers." He said that if seems clear that the portion which was not developed should be zoned single family as was stated in the record. He recommended that the Council vote against the motion, and said that the correct process would be for the property owner to apply for a rezone if he so desires, which would require a public hearing. Mann stated that the transcript was not clear and the Council did not get the full context of the dialogue. Jim Orr, 24909 114th Avenue S.E., played an audio tape of the portion of the March 1, 1988 Council meeting dealing with this issue. Referring to the map, Johnson explained the intent of his motion, and pointed out that when the City Administrator asked about multifamily development in that area he said that would exclude that area. February 21, 1989 ANNEXATION Orr explained that he had played the tape to show ZONING Mr. Johnson's intent. He said the key words are (EAST HILL already zoned or developed multifamily. Orr said COMMUNITY that he noticed that as he was playing the tape, WELL #2 some Council people were doing other things and said AREA C) that they were probably not paying attention to Mr. Johnson that night. He suggested that Councilmembers prepare themselves better with the issues and review what they have voted on before 11 months have passed. The Mayor pointed out to the Councilmembers that the issue of Johnson's intent or the issue of the Council's intent is irrelevant; that it is not legal for the Council to change the ordinance based upon a belief that it was passed inadvertently, when something else was intended. He stated that in order to revoke or alter the action adopting Ordinance 2771 the Council must believe that the public record indicated that a different ordinance should have been passed. Such action should be based upon the public record, not based upon a difference in intent. Leona Orr, 24909 114th Avenue S.E., voiced concern about the way the ordinance is being handled. She said that there should have been public notification, and pointed out hearings are required for rezones, but that in this case an ordinance was prepared which would change zoning set last March. Orr stated that rezoning this parcel opens the way for the whole neighborhood to be zoned multifamily and that that was not the intent of the Council last March. Orr said that staff did not recommend multifamily for the extension of Stratford Arms; that the only one who did was the Hearing Examiner, who clearly defined the two separate areas as developed and undeveloped portions of Stratford Arms. Orr said Johnson's amendment excluded the undeveloped part when he said only the already zoned, already developed site. Orr pointed out that the first certificate of occupancy for Stratford Arms was issued in the summer of 1984, and that the E February 21, 1989 ANNEXATION piece of property in question was not purchased ZONING until October, 1986, and was zoned single family at (EAST HILL the time. COMMUNITY WELL #2 AREA C ) Tom Sharp, 11126 S.E. 256th St., one of the owners of Stratford Arms, said the Hearing Examiner's recommendation tied these two pieces of property together, whether purchased two years apart or not. He said that the property was in the annexation process at the time it was purchased, and that the County had it zoned multifamily. Sharp said that no one is trying to circumvent the process, but that that it takes this long to go through the process. Pam Alamos, 25207 111th Avenue S.E., stated that she is disappointed to have to come to the Council and ask them to uphold an ordinance that was passed a year ago. She said that the property involved is not a continuation of the original development for Stratford Arms. She said that there should be a public hearing and notification to residents of Area C and asked that the rezone request be denied. Bill Dinsdale, 11126 S.E. 256th St., one of the owners of Stratford Arms, said that there was no question in his mind that the Stratford Arms property very clearly included the property under discussion tonight. He said there were video tapes presented which showed that property as part of Stratford Arms property. He pointed out that the Hearing Examiner and the staff tied it together. He said that the night the Council passed the zoning ordinance he had received clarification from Councilmembers that those properties were tied together and that it was part of the property that was clarified by the City Administrator was the Stratford Arms property. He said the only time they imagined it wasn't one parcel of property was after the ordinance was written and documented, and that it has taken a long time and numerous requests to get this properly documented. Upon Dowell's 10 February 21, 1989 ANNEXATION question, Dinsdale pointed out the property on the ZONING map, and stated that the legend says the brown area (EAST HILL is multifamily. COMMUNITY WELL #2 Mann stated that his understanding was that AREA C) Stratford Arms development was all inclusive and he had voted with that understanding, and believes other Councilmembers had the same intention. He pointed out that the wording was questionable, and as far as staff was concerned it was interpreted as being separate. He pointed out that there are many ramifications of Council's action tonight. He said the process should be followed now that the ordinance is in effect, and that the owners of the property who are contesting this should go through the process following rules and regulations that have been set up. Woods concurred with Mann, and noted that with a new sound system in the Council Chambers, there would be less risk of having issues come to the Council which aren't completely legible on the public record. Mann directed the Operations Committee to look into the possibility of purchasing a large screen TV and VCR for the Council Chambers. There was no objection from the Chairman of the Operations Committee. Biteman pointed out that the Council takes these kinds of deliberation very seriously and noted to Orr that even if they seem to not be paying attention, they are in fact reviewing the material and listening to the presentation. He said that the Council has been through oral and visual tapes and that there is a distinct separation of interpretation. He noted that the words used by Council when instructing the staff could have been misinterpreted. Bob MacIsaac, 25001 116th opposed to multifamily in attended the meetings and Avenue S.E., said he is this area, but that he had that it was clear to him that the intent was to zone it multifamily. 11 February 21, 1989 ANNEXATION Leona Orr said that in a staff report dated August ZONING 19, 1987, Recommendation #2 says for the area south (EAST HILL of S.E. 252nd St., R1.72 residential except the 4.8 COMMUNITY acre parcel known as Stratford Arms, and that WELL #2 Recommendation #3 says Stratford Arms, MRM Medium AREA C) Density Multifamily Residential. She said this clearly distinguishes between the properties by the reference to the 4.8 acres which was already developed. Orr said that the Hearing Examiner's Findings and Recommendations, say "Stratford Arms, MRM Medium Density Multifamily Residential, allowing 23 units per acre (entire Stratford Arms site including the undeveloped portions)". She pointed out that when Johnson made an amendment to the motion, he clearly said "the already zoned multifamily" and when McFall asked for clarification, Mr. Kelleher's words were "the existing development". Orr said the property is clearly separated in staff reports. A man from the audience stated that the records show there are two pieces of property, and that the Council zoned one single family and that is how it should stay. Upon Dowell's request, the man pointed out the property on the map and indicated that one of the pieces was colored tan and the other dark brown. When Dowell asked if both colors were represented on the legend, Kathy McClung of the Planning Department clarified that although the two parcels are slightly different in brown tones, it is only because she used two different pens, and noted that they were handled as two separate parcels throughout the entire hearing. She also pointed out that the map shows the Hearing Examiner's recommendations, and that this map was at the Council meeting the night the matter was discussed. Tom Sharp pointed out that the Hearing Examiner's recommendations say "the entire Stratford Arms site including the undeveloped portions". He also said that all through the Council's deliberations, Stratford Arms was never separated. 12 February 21, 1989 ANNEXATION Chris Grant, 26302 Woodland Way S., pointed out that ZONING the Council's actions tonight can be very precedent (EAST HILL -setting. He said a legal process is provided to COMMUNITY remedy these kinds of issues and that it must be WELL #2 followed. Grant also said that these issues need to AREA C) come before the public, and that there was insufficient public notification of this rezone. He pointed out that if Ordinance 2771 went on the books as protecting the subject property as single family, it should stay that way until the full rezone process has been met, including a new public hearing. Biteman clarified for Orr that the tapes he had referred to were audio tapes, that there were no video tapes of Council meetings at that time, only visual narratives. Leona Orr said that there is another piece of property near Stratford Arms and it was changed to single family zoning, 12,000 square feet per acre. The Mayor clarified that the motion before the Council is to approve Ordinance 2837 amending Ordinance 2771, clarifying the Council's intent that the undeveloped portion of the Stratford Arms site be zoned Medium Density Multifamily Residential. He reminded the Council that it is proper and legal to vote in favor of this motion if they believe that the public record indicates that an incorrect ordinance was drafted and that Ordinance 2771 did not reflect the wording in the motion that was put forward by Councilmember Johnson 11 months ago. He noted it would not be proper or legal to vote in favor of the motion if they merely feel that it was not their intent. The motion to adopt Ordinance 2837 carried with White, Houser, Biteman and Dowell in favor and Mann, Johnson and Woods opposed. 13 February 21, 1989 COMPREHENSIVE Comprehensive Plan Amendment - Housing Element No. PLAN CPA-88-4. Council Resolution No. 1172 directed the Planning Department to develop a proposed update of the Housing Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The extensive proposed amendments were developed in part through a citizens advisory committee appointed by the Mayor and representing diverse housing interests. At it's January 30 public hearing, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the Council approve the Housing Advisory Committee proposal for the Housing Element update. Dan Stroh of the Planning Department noted that the amendments are fairly extensive and that they were developed with a good deal of citizen participation. He then gave a brief summary of the report. Upon Biteman's question, Stroh noted that solar access had been a major consideration of the committee. WOODS MOVED to approve the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the Housing Advisory Committee's proposal for the Housing Element update of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Dowell secnded. The motion carried. PERFORMING Performing Arts Facility - School District/City ARTS CENTER Cooperative Project. The City Attorney noted that a representative from the Kent School District has information regarding a performing arts facility to present to the Council, and noted that information involving possible property acquisition would have to occur in executive session. Gerry Winkle of the Kent School District noted that they have been involved in the development of Kent Meridian High School and a performing arts center within the school. He noted that they had come up with some opportunities which could benefit both the city and the district in terms of joint acquisition, and possibly result in a larger facility which would serve the entire community. Winkle inquired whether the City would be interested in pursuing the study of this joint project. The Mayor then noted that discussion of the project could be continued in executive session. 14 February 21, 1989 POLICE (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 3C) Drinking Driver Task Force. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of donations from Trent Jonas, Manager, Puget Sound National Bank, Kent Area Council PTA, and United Steel Workers Local 1088-Kent Police.

The Mayor stated that as part of the construction of the new fire station, bids were let for needed furniture, office equipment and appliances. The bids were broken down into appropriate categories.
