Six of the applications are on behalf of private property owners and propose changes to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning Map Two of the applications are for Comprehensive Plan Text Amendments to the Capital Facilities Element -- one from the City of Kent, and one joint proposal from the Kent and Federal Way School Districts Planning Services staff facilitated a Land Use & Planning Board tour of the sites on October 27'" At the Land Use & Planning Board workshop held November 261' staff introduced each proposed amendment to the Board for discussion and questions This staff report includes a detailed analysis of the merits of each proposal, maps of each site and a staff recommendation The eight proposed amendments have been classified as proposals A through H, and a description of each application follows. STANDARDS OF REVIEW Section 12 02 050 of the Kent City Code outlines the standards of review, which must be used by staff and the City Council in analyzing any proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments Proposed amendments are to be examined based on the following criteria 1 The amendment will not result in development that will adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare, 2 The amendment is based upon new information that was not available at the time of adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, or that circumstances have changed since the adoption of the Plan that warrant an amendment to the Plan, and 3 The amendment is consistent with other goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and that the amendment will maintain concurrency between the Land Use, Transportation, and Capital Facilities Elements of the Plan The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments have been analyzed based on these criteria Land Use and Planning Board Hearing December 10, 2001 Page 2 of 13 Proposal A STILL MANOR RETIREMENT LIVING #CPA-2001-2(A)/#CPZ-2001-1 (KIVA#2012757) #ENV-2001-54(A) (KIVA#2012758) Change in Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map for property located at 1027 & 1035 West Smith Street Applicant(Agent). Campbell/Nixon &Associates, Inc. Existing Designation Proposed Change Comprehensive Plan LAND MHP (Mobile Home Park) MU (Mixed Use) USE Map MDMF (Medium Density Multifamily, 23 units/acre ZONING Districts Map MHP (Mobile Home Park) GC (General Commercial) MR-M (Medium Density Multifamily, 23 units/acre Background: The subject site is located on generally flat terrain between Washington Avenue (State Route 181/West Valley Highway) and State Route 167, along the north side of West Smith Street The existing residential uses located on the two tax parcels subject to this proposed amendment exceed the densities (units/acre) currently allowed under their existing zoning district designations. The Still Manor Mobile Home Park contains fifty (50) dwelling units and one laundry facility structure on 3 3 acres, and the single-structure Skyview Apartments contains eight (8) dwelling units on 0.244 acres. A non-subject parcel abutting the northern boundary of the subject site is designated in both the Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Zoning Maps as Mobile Home Park (MHP), and is currently in mobile home park use (Paradise Mobile Home Park) Otherwise, the subject site is surrounded by commercial land use and zoning designations, consistent with the designation changes requested by the applicant The parcels across Smith Street from the southern boundary of the subject site, are in low-intensity use, with two single-family dwelling unit structures, two parcels used for surface parking, and a used car dealership at the southeast corner of Washington and Smith Access to the site will be from Washington Avenue and the segment of Smith Street between Washington Avenue and State Route 167 The steeply sloped embankment of SR 167 abuts the eastern boundary of the subject site, and the nearest vehicular and pedestrian access to Downtown Kent is available along Meeker Street to the south. Direct pedestrian access to Downtown across Meeker and beneath SR 167 is complicated by the lack of a pedestrian crosswalk at Thompson Avenue, and traffic does not stop along the two-way Smith-to-Meeker connecting curve, nor the Meeker eastbound through-lane. Thompson Avenue does not have a sidewalk or curbing on either side between Meeker and Smith Streets The segment of Smith Street serving the subject site does not have sidewalks or curbing The portion of Washington Avenue adjacent to the subject site is presently a hostile environment for pedestrian and other non-motorized modes of travel, without sidewalks or curbing The City of Kent Public Works Department has identified Washington Avenue as an area in need of improvements, and curb, gutter, and sidewalks are to be constructed within fifty (50) feet of the street centerline as redevelopment of properties along Washington occurs These incremental improvements to Washington are to be paid through Local Improvement District (LID) 354 The W. Smith Street segment connecting to Washington Avenue from the subject site would have to be improved • Applicant has considered acquiring properties zoned GC-MU south of subject site for inclusion in the eventual development of the site Actualization of this consideration by the applicant could lead to an applicant request to vacate portions of Smith Street and Thompson Avenue Land Use and Planning Board Hearing December 10, 2001 Page 3 of 13 Issues Staff could reasonably define the independent living portion of the proposed project as either "retirement home" or "multifamily dwellings for senior citizens " In the GC Zoning District requested by the applicant, retirement homes are subject to a General Conditional Use Permit Multifamily dwellings are principally permitted uses only within the Mixed Use Overlay when located within a Mixed Use Development Given arterial traffic speeds and a lack of pedestrian facilities in the vicinity of the subject site, the City would require significant improvements for pedestrian travel and public transit use upon development of the site The Washington Avenue LID addresses one frontage in this regard, but improvements to the Smith Street segment could be constrained by the narrow width of that street right-of-way Several commercial uses at the corner of Washington and Smith have delivery access along Smith Street that interferes with road traffic, and could preclude safe pedestrian access along the Smith Street frontage of the subject site According to Kent's Housing and Human Services Manager, the fifty (50) mobile home units to be displaced by redevelopment of the subject site are considered low-income housing, not "middle income" as indicated by the agent for the applicant in the Environmental Checklist (see page 12, Housing) These units are not subsidized housing units, but any project using Federal funding would be required to provide relocation assistance According to a State-estimated relocation cost per mobile home unit and assuming space for units is available within reasonable distance of the subject site, relocation and cost could range between $3500 per single-wide unit and $7500 per double-wide unit Washington State provides reimbursement assistance through the Office of Community Development's Manufactured Housing Section to displaced mobile home park residents, regardless of household income level However, the remaining State budget for relocation assistance of displaced mobile home residents totals a mere $14,000 The applicant is researching potential receiving sites for households pursuant to the eventual loss or relocation of these mobile home units, even though the applicant may not be required to do so since private funding is anticipated to be the sole source of development capital The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan contains goals and policies relating to commercial development, housing, and facilitating multi-modal transportation in activity centers, which are areas containing an existing base of retail and office uses The subject site, having these characteristics, and being adjacent to Downtown Kent, could be considered part of an activity center. LU-2.3 Emphasize in development regulations and design review processes site design standards, which facilitate public transit and pedestrian circulation. LU-6 Designate activity centers in portions of the city and in the annexation area. Allow in these areas a mix of retail, office, and residential development. LU-6.2 Allow residential uses in activity centers. Develop residential uses as part of a commercial area in a mixed use development or on a stand-alone basis in designated areas. LU-7 Develop activity centers in such a way as to facilitate pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation. LU-8.3 Locate housing opportunities within close proximity to employment, shopping, transit, and human and community services. The Housing (H) and Human Services (HS) Elements of the Comprehensive Plan contain several goals and policies relating to provision and distribution of affordable housing choices, mobile home parks, on- and off-site improvements, and consideration of impacts of land use decisions on human services Land Use and Planning Board Rearing December 10, 2001 Page 4of13 H-1.5 Require developments to provide their fair share of on-site and off-site improvements needed as a result of the development. H-2 Provide sufficient, diverse, and affordable housing for the existing and projected population of Kent. H-2.1 Promote a wide range of housing to meet the needs of our diverse population and ensure that this housing is available throughout the community for people of all income levels and special needs. H-2.2 Provide a sufficient amount of land zoned for current and projected residential needs, including, but not limited to, assisted housing, housing for low-income households, single-family housing, small lot sizes, townhouses, multifamily housing, manufactured housing, group homes, and foster care facilities. H-3 Encourage the preservation, maintenance, and improvement of existing affordable housing. H-3.3 Preserve and improve mobile home parks. Promote the provision of a low- interest loan program or other programs for low- or moderate-income mobile home park residents to replace dilapidated mobile homes. HS-1.2 Actively incorporate and encourage others to incorporate human services into the social, economic, and physical aspects of the City and the region. To this end, the City should act as a leader and model employer to the larger community through its policies, Including land use, facilities, and personnel policies. HS-3.1 Consider the impacts on and implications for human services when making land use decisions and other City policies and regulations. The Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan contains several goals and policies relating to coordination of development and road improvements, commercial land use and the transportation system TR-1.2 Coordinate new commercial and residential development in Kent with transportation projects to improve affected roadways. TRAJ Promote land use patterns which support public transportation. TR-1.8 Create land uses in the downtown and commercial areas which better support transit and reduce peak-hour trip generation. TR-7.2 Whenever practical, use incentives or regulations to encourage new construction to promote pedestrian and bicycle movements to pathways, transit services and arterials. The City of Kent has policies pertaining to the preservation of low-income housing While these are important considerations, the requested Land Use Designation and Zoning District Designation are consistent with the surrounding designations and developed land uses.

The SR-6 zoned parcel to the east is being developed under a conditional use permit to allow a reception center (Covington Memorial Services) for the cemetery adjacent to the southeast Issues: Traffic conflict with residential uses is a key issue with this application Residential units served by 154'h Avenue SE must continue to have unobstructed access if the applicant seeks a vacation of the northern portion of this street The commercial development should also not have direct vehicular access to or from 154'h Avenue SE The Land Use and Transportation Elements of the Comprehensive Plan contain goals and policies relating to commercial development, adjacency to residential use, and limiting impacts on non- arterial streets LU-2.3 Emphasize in development regulations and design reviewprocesses site design standards which facilitate public transit and pedestrian circulation. LU-13.6 Ensure that commercial and mixed use developments adjacent to existing single-family residential areas are compatible in height and scale. Establish guidelines for design of edges where commercial and mixed uses abut single- family use and medium-and low-density residential. TR-1.1 Locate commercial, industrial, multifamily, and other uses that generate high levels of traffic in designated activity centers around intersections of principal or minor arterials or around freeway interchanges. TR-4.1 Maximize traffic flow and mobility on arterial roads, especially on regional through routes, while protecting local neighborhood roads from increased traffic volumes. TR-4.3 Balance the dual goals of providing accessibility within the local street system and protecting neighborhoods. Where overflow traffic from the regional system significantly impacts neighborhoods, protect the residential area. The City notes that a previous effort to rezone this land to Community Commercial during the Meridian Annexation process failed The conditions of the residential neighborhood to the south have changed in the last few years, however, and commercially-zoned property with frontage on SE Land Use and Planning Board Hearing December 10, 2001 Page 6 of 13 272nd Street has been recently redeveloping to commercial use The City sees no incdnsistency with conversion of the frontage of SE 272nd Street to commercial use, but the subject rezone request creates a unique challenge The only access for this parcel at present is 154th Avenue SE, and commercial traffic accessing the subject parcel from this road could have deleterious impacts on residential uses along SE 275`h Street, in addition to those single family residences located along 1541h Avenue SE On its own, the subject parcel would not be a feasible candidate for a rezone The applicant has indicated ownership of the parcel directly north of the subject parcel, as well as intent to develop these parcels as one project. Recommendation: Staff recommends CONDITIONAL APPROVAL of this request, with the following condition The subject parcel shall have direct vehicular access from Southeast 272nd Street only. The Applicant/Owner shall not be permitted to have direct vehicular access to 154th Avenue Southeast to serve any non-residential land use development Proposal C KLOUZAL #CPA-2001-2(C)!#CPZ-2001-3 (KIVA#2012844) #ENV-2001.54(C) (KIVA#2012845) Change in Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map for property located at 2635 South 260th Street.

A significant amount of the subject site has been delineated as a Class II wetland; inclusive of a fifty (50) foot buffer, only 1.593 acres of the subject site is developable Several large parcels in close proximity to the north and east of the subject site are zoned and in use as Medium Density Multifamily residential apartments (MR-M) (Appian Way and Royal Skies Apartments). Three parcels abutting the western boundary of the subject site are currently designated the same as the subject site on the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Land Use (SF-6) and Zoning (SR-4.5) Maps Further to the west of the property are commercial uses, including Pioneer Roofing Supply and the Woodmont Place Shopping Center. A large mobile home park (West Hill Mobile Manor) is located to the northwest of the property. Issues: Sensitive areas and traffic impacts likely are the key issues for this application The LDMF Land Use and SR-8 Zoning designations would allow the applicant to apply for a rezone to MRT-16 upon approval of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map Amendment Present zoning would allow for the development of twenty-two (22) single family detached units, but sensitive areas and minimum lot size restrictions could limit the number of units to nine (9) single family detached units As proposed by the applicant, an eventual designation of MRT-16 zoning would allow seventy-six (76) multifamily condominium or single family detached units, but sensitive areas and minimum lot size restrictions could limit the number of units to seventeen (17) multifamily condominium units Since there is no minimum lot area for development of single family detached units in MRT-16 zoning, seventy-six (76) single family detached units could theoretically be clustered on the site despite sensitive areas restrictions If adopted, this amendment would in the interim provide SR-8 zoning, which would allow for the development of forty-two (42) single family detached units, but Land Use and Planning Board Hearing December 10, 2001 . Page 7 of 13 sensitive areas and minimum lot size restrictions could limit the number of units to seventeen (17) single family detached units The Land Use (LU) and Transportation (TR) Elements of the Comprehensive Plan contain several goals and policies related to environmentally sensitive and critical areas, multifamily housing, and proximity to major roadways LU-8.3 Locate housing opportunities within close proximity to employment, shopping, transit, and human and community services. LU-9 Provide opportunities for a variety of housing types, options, and densities throughout the city and the Potential Annexation Area. LU-9.2 Allow and encourage a variety of multifamily housing forms, such as townhouses, residences above businesses, triplexes and fourplexes, duplexes, and attached single-family units in multifamily districts and designated commercial areas. LU-20 Protect and enhance environmentally sensitive areas via the adoption of City regulations and programs which encourage well-designed land use patterns such as clustering and planned unit development. Use such land use patterns to concentrate higher urban land use densities and intensity of uses in specified areas in order to preserve natural features such as large wetlands, streams, steep slopes, and forests. TR-1.1 Locate commercial, industrial, multifamily, and other uses that generate high levels of traffic in designated activity centers around intersections of principal or minor arterials or around freeway interchanges. The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan contains several goals and policies relating to provision and distribution of affordable housing choices. H-2 Provide sufficient, diverse, and affordable housing for the existing and projected population of Kent. H-2.1 Promote a wide range of housing to meet the needs of our diverse population and ensure that this housing is available throughout the community for people of all income levels and special needs. H-2.2 Provide a sufficient amount of land zoned for current and projected residential needs, including, but not limited to, assisted housing, housing for low-income households, single-family housing, small /of sizes, townhouses, multifamily housing, manufactured housing, group homes, and foster care facilities. H-4 Expand home ownership opportunities for all income groups via land use regulations, financial strategies, and the removal of barriers to lending. H-4.1 Revise zoning and development standards to facilitate small lot sizes, manufactured housing on single-family lots, townhouses, condominiums, clustering, and other options which increase the supply of affordable home • ownership opportunities. The City has an interest in promoting homeownership opportunities for all income levels The Multifamily Townhouse (MRT) Zoning Districts created by the City a short time ago are a tool that enables the goal of homeownership to be realized in areas that are more likely not to redevelop as single-family detached unit subdivisions The MRT zone would allow for the clustering of housing Land Use and Planning Board Hearing December 10, 2001 Page 8of13 units, which could avoid disturbing the significant portion of the subject site that contains wetlands while permitting the developer to maximize an allowed density of sixteen (16) units per acre, as appropriate to the site The Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation of Low Density Multifamily (LDMF) allows Garden Density Multifamily (MR-G) zoning, typically developed as apartments, and MRT However, a rezone to an MRT Zoning District can be requested only if the subject property is zoned SR-8 Approval of the LDMF Land Use Designation and SR-8 Zoning District would allow the applicant to request a rezone to MRT-12, MRT-16 or MR-G Recommendation: Staff recommends APPROVAL of this request Proposal D AMERINOR/CAMERON #CPA-2001-2(D)/#CPA-2001-4 (KIVA#2012866) #ENV-2001-54(D) (KIVA #2012865) Change in Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map for property located at Southeast 252nd & 114d' Avenue Southeast and 25218 1131h Avenue Southeast Applicant(Agent) Ian Elliot Existing Designation Proposed Change Comprehensive Plan LAND SF-6 (Single-Family 6 SF-8 (Single-Family 8 USE Map units/acre) units/acre ZONING Districts Map - SR-4 5 (Single-Family 4 53 SR-8 (Single-Family 8.71 units/acre) units/acre Background: The 4.15 acre subject site consists of three tax parcels located between • approximately Southeast 252"1 Street and Southeast 253`d Street, if extended, and between approximately 112t" and 110 Avenues SE, if extended Access to the subject site is limited to a driveway at the end of 113'' Avenue Southeast. Providing vehicular access to units developed on the subject site will necessitate the improvement of at least one right-of-way to public street standards The development of property to the north of the subject site might also require improvement of at least one right-of-way to public street standards Although the City's wetland inventory indicates approximately 50 percent of the site is encumbered by wetlands, the applicant states in the environmental checklist that limited wetlands occur on the site. No wetland report was submitted with the applications. Properties in the vicinity of the subject site, to the north and east are large lots, with properties to the south ranging from approximately one-third acre to larger lot parcels. Zoning of the properties in the immediate vicinity is SR-3 to the north and SR-4 5 to the west, east and south, except for the Stratford Arms Apartments which are zoned MR-M and abut the subject property on the west The Walnut Park Condominiums are zoned MR-G and are located northwest of the property The 7d' Day Adventist Church is located east of the property, across 114 ,Avenue SE. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designations match the existing zoning except for those properties zoned SR- 4 5, for which the land use map designation is SF-6 Issues Access/transportation and sensitive areas are key issues for this property. When there are sensitive areas on a site, an increase in zoning density affords an opportunity to create a clustering effect that might be more acceptable to the neighborhood as single family development. Assuming that the City's wetlands inventory is an accurate (and not necessarily precise) indicator of sensitive areas on the subject site, approximately 2 075 acres (or 50%") of the site could be available for development. Under existing SR-4.5 zoning the development of nineteen (19) single family detached units would be allowed, but sensitive areas and minimum lot size restrictions could limit the number of units to twelve (12) single family detached units As proposed by the applicant, SR-8 zoning would allow the development of thirty-six (36) single family detached units, but sensitive Land Use and Planning Board Hearing December 10, 2001 • Page 9 of 13 areas and minimum lot size restrictions could limit the number of units to twenty-three (23) single family detached units The minimum lot size in the SR zoning district is 4000 sq ft These small lots would be a drastic change to the character of this single-family neighborhood of large lots Circumstances have not changed sufficiently since adoption of the Comprehensive Plan to warrant increased density beyond the existing plan designation of SF-6 The existing designation of SF-6 creates a lesser and more acceptable impact to the neighborhood The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan contains several goals and policies related to environmentally sensitive critical areas and housing LU-8.3 Locate housing opportunities within close proximity to employment, shopping, transit, and human and community services.

Commercial use at the subject site could increase noise impacts on residential uses to the east, north, and south Impacts will be assessed at the time of a specific - development proposal. Traffic noise from Southeast 272nd Street • (Kent-Kangley Road) would impact the subject site. G. Energy and Natural Resources None of the proposals is anticipated to generate demand for energy or natural resources beyond typical levels for development allowed within an urban area. The increase of residential densities via redevelopment within the city limits serves as an alleviating factor on consumption of rural and natural resource lands outside of the urban growth boundary. H Land and Shoreline Use The existing uses on the subject sites and the context of surrounding land uses are described hereafter. 1 ENV-2001-54(A) Still Manor Retirement Living. The subject site has an existing mobile home park containing fifty (50) mobile homes, as well as an adjacent eight (8) unit apartment complex. Uses surrounding the subject site are primarily commercial, with the adjacent northeast corner of Washington Avenue and Smith Street occupied by a small multi-tenant retail commercial center Another mobile home park is directly adjacent to the north. 2 ENV-2001-54(B) Soos Creek Center The subject site has • been cleared of any structures and the parcel directly north is in similar physical condition An auto parts retail/repair center fronting on SE 272nd Street is located across 154' Avenue SE from the subject site Single family detached units of low density are located Page 7 of 22 Decision Document City of Kent CPA and Implementing Zoning Map Amendments #ENV-2001-54(A-H) to the south of the subject site 3.

The subject site is surrounded by a sizable Inventoried wetland area, largely to the south and east The Inventoried wetland area includes over half of the subject site. 4 ENV-2001-54(D) Amerinor/Cameron The subject site has one (1) single family detached unit located on site. At present, the subject site has limited vehicular and pedestrian access, and a significant portion of the subject site is Indicated as Inventoried wetland area. The surrounding uses are low-density single family residential to the north, with a large area of Inventoried wetlands also to the north The Seventh Day Adventist Church is located on a large lot to the east, _ low density multifamily residential use Is adjacent to the northwest and medium density multifamily immediately adjacent to the west of the subject site Medium density single family residential use is adjacent to the south and west of the subject site. 5. ENV-2001-54(E) Fanning/Scharer. The subject site has two (2) single family detached units located on two (2) parcels. The subject site is surrounded to the east and south by low density single family residential use, with medium density single family residential further east and south. Low density multifamily residential use abuts the western boundary of the subject site. The Daniel Elementary School is located across SE 24Vh Street from the subject site, and the First Baptist Church is adjacent to the east of the elementary school. A large portion of the subject site has been identified as inventoried wetlands (40-50%). 6. ENV-2001-54(F) DeRose. The subject site has two (2) single family detached units located on two (2) parcels. The subject site fronts on Kent-Kangley Road/SE 272nd St., and abuts a single family detached unit to the west. Further to the west is a comer gas station, and to the southwest is a low-density multifamily use that is separated from the uses immediately to the west by an inventoried wetland area. A vacant parcel to the east, zoned SR-6 (Single Family, 6 units per acre) also contains inventoried wetland area. Low-density single family detached residential predominates to the southeast of the subject site A low-density multifamily use is located directly across Kent-Kangley from the subject site. Page 8 of 22 Decision Document City of Kent CPA and Implementing Zoning Map Amendments #ENV-2001-54(A-H) One of the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan amendment process is to assess whether the proposals are compatible with surrounding land uses Issues of compatibility will be analyzed by staff, the Land Use and Planning Board, and the City Council in determining whether or not to approve the proposed amendments. I. Housing 1. ENV-2001-54(A) Still Manor Retirement Living. This proposal would displace fifty-eight (58) low-income housing units, including fifty (50) mobile homes and eight (8) apartment units with approximately forty (40) senior assisted living units and eighty (80) senior independent living units 2 ENV-2001-54(B) Soos Creek Center. No comment 3 ENV-2001-54(C) Klouzal. This proposal would replace one (1) single family detached housing unit on a lot with potential for twenty- two (22) single family detached units (potential for'forty-two (42) single family detached units not considering sensitive areas), with eventually • seventy-six (76) multifamily townhomes (not considering sensitive areas) 4. ENV-2001-54(D) Amerinor/Cameron This proposal would replace one (1) single family detached unit on three (3) lots (potential for up to nineteen (19) single family detached units not considering sensitive areas)with the potential for thirty-six (36) single family detached units not considering sensitive areas 5 ENV-2001-54(E) Fanning/Scharer. This proposal would replace two (2) single family detached units on two (2) lots (potential for thirty- five (35) single family detached units not considering sensitive areas) with the potential for fifty-eight (58) single family detached units not considering sensitive areas J. Aesthetics The proposals for the most part will have insignificant impacts on aesthetics, as most subject sites are located along high traffic corridors which were developed for the automobile without concern for aesthetics. Many of the proposals that might have aesthetics impacts would be more appropriately addressed during the review of development plans. An exception would be the Amerinor/Cameron proposal, which would create lot sizes down to 4000 Sq Ft in an area of one-third acre and higher lot sizes. However, the impacts of the proposal in this regard can be assessed from a policy standpoint rather than an environmental standpoint. Page 9 of 22 .e Decision Document City of Kent CPA and Implementing Zoning Map Amendments #ENV-2001-54(A-H) K. Light and Glare Commercial projects, or projects to be located in proximity to commercial uses pursuant to Proposals A, B, and F are anticipated to create and receive light impacts due to the nature of commercial enterprise during evening hours. Glare Impacts might be anticipated for these three Proposals as well. Any impacts of light and glare would be more appropriately addressed during the review of development plans. L Recreation Any single family detached residential development subsequent to the amendment of the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and or Zoning District Map will be required to provide open space or recreation areas, or a fee-in-lieu of such facilities, at the time of subdivision Proposals D and E are in proximity to Daniel Elementary School and East Hill Park, both located along SE 248"' St. CPA-2001-2(H) City of Kent Finance Dept.

The off-site pathway will extend south and westerly of the subject parcels and will connect Southeast 256 h Street to Southeast 248" Street. Future development proposals will require the dedication and construction of public streets to and through the subject property. The public streets serving the interior of this proposal shall adhere to the connectivity requirements of the City of Kent Subdivision Ordinance The presence of existing wetlands may significantly impede achieving this City goal The required transportation improvements will most likely have a significant impact on the existing neighborhood character and atmosphere , The Developer of these rezoned parcels will be obligated to pay the full cost for each new PM Peak Hour Trip contributed to the City's South 272nd Street / South 277" Street Corridor The City estimates that the first forty-eight PM Peak Hour Trips for these three parcels will be charged at the half-rate price of $1068 per trip, and that all additional trips will be charged at the full-rate price of $2136 per trip (1986 dollars, and adjusted for inflation), the actual number of each type of trip won't be possible until the City approves the topographic and boundary survey describe above. Southeast 248" Street and 11 Vh Avenue Southeast and Southeast 252"d Streets are currently not improved to City design standards, and all three streets will require improvement/widening and appropriate right-of-way dedication(s) conjunction with development to support the project and continued development in the area. Achieving this City goal may likely require cooperation, participation, and right-of-way dedication from other neighboring property owners.

The off-site pathway will extend south and westerly of the subject parcels and will connect Southeast 256`h Street to Southeast 248th Street Future development proposals will require the dedication and construction of public streets to and through the subject property. The public streets serving the interior of this proposal shall adhere to the connectivity requirements of the City of Kent Subdivision Ordinance. The presence of existing streams and wetlands may significantly impede achieving this City goal The required transportation improvements will most likely have a significant impact on the existing neighborhood character and atmosphere. The subject site of these rezoned parcels will be obligated to pay the full cost for each new PM Peak Hour Trip contributed to the City's South 272Id Street / South 277'h Street Corridor. The City estimates that the first four PM Peak Hour Trips will be charged at the half-rate price of$1068 per trip, and that all additional trips will be charged at the full-rate price of $2136 per trip (1986 dollars, and adjusted for inflation), the actual number of each type of trip won't be possible until the City approves the topographic and boundary survey described above. Southeast 248" Street and 1111h Avenue Southeast and Southeast 252nd Streets are currently not improved to its design standard, and all three streets will require improvement/widening and appropriate right-of-way dedication(s) in conjunction with this development to support this project and continued development in the area. Achieving this City goal may likely require cooperation, participation, and right- of-way dedication from other neighboring property owners It will be the responsibility of the Developer to orchestrate these efforts.

Mr Osborne stated that the Housing and Human Services elements of the Comprehensive Plan contain goals and policies relating to the provision and distribution of affordable housing choices, mobile home parks, on and off site improvements, and consideration of impacts from land use decisions on human services Land Use and Planning Board Minutes December 10, 2001 Page 4 of 15 Mr Osborne said that Housing Policy 15 states "Require developments to provide their fair share of on- site and off-site improvements needed as a result ofthe development " He stated that this policy would be consistent with Public Works requirements for site improvement Mr Osborne said that Housing Policy 2 1 states "Promote a wide range of housing to meet the needs of our diverse population and ensure that this housing is available throughout the community far people of all income levels and special needs " Mr Osborne said that Housing Policy 2 2 states "Provide a sufficient amount of land zoned for current and projected residential needs including, but not limited to, assisted housing, housing for low-income households, single-family housing, small lot sizes, townhouses, multifamily housing, manufactured housing, group homes, and foster care facilities " Mr Osborne stated that this proposal could be considered a buttressing of the intent of the applicant to eventually develop a retirement facility or to provide housing for those who have needs not typically met in our housing market Mr Osborne said that Housing Policy 3 3 states "Preserve and improve mobile home parks. Promote the provision of a low-interest loan program or other programs for low- or moderate-income mobile home park residents to replace dilapidated mobile homes " Mr Osborne stated that this policy provides challenges for the City, State and Federal Government as their budgets are limited.

Mr Osborne said that Transportation Policy 1.2 states "Coordinate new commercial and residential development in Kent with transportation projects to improve affected roadways " He stated that this policy is in effect with the Washington Avenue Local Improvement District Mr Osborne stated that as sites develop along Washington Avenue, they will be the beneficiaries of a fund that they have paid into to improve the right-of-way along Washington Avenue The right-of-way will extend 50 feet from the road's center line with sidewalks,gutters and curbs, which currently the subject site does not have Mr Osborne stated that Transportation Policy 17 states "Promote land use patterns which support public transportation " Mr Osborne stated that this proposal is consistent with that policy.

Mr Still stated that if this rezone were approved, his tenants would be given a twelve-month minimum notice as mandated by the State, indicating that the State offers an assistance program. He stated that he spoke with the SHAG Corporation, an organization that has six mobile home facilities in Kent with a total of thirty in the State of Washington Mr Still stated that Arthur Martin has offered to relocate anyone interested at a comparable rate of rent and probably to a better facility He stated that 37 of the homes in the park were built before 1976, and therefore, do not meet safety standards or codes In response to Chair Zimmerman, Mr. Still stated that tenants would receive their twelve-month notice upon approval of the rezone as his proposed project was time critical, emphasizing that a retirement center is needed in this community Ursula Linsldl, 1035 W. Smith St. Space 19,Kent, WA said that she has lived in the park two months and believes it is unfair that the owners are expecting the tenants to move from the mobile home park. She stated that many of these residents have lived in the park for several years; the trailers are old and would not survive being relocated to another area Solange Diaz, 1035 W. Smith St., Space 20, Kent, WA stated that this proposal has taken her,by surprise She stated that she works and purchased her mobile home for$4500.00. She stated that it would not be financially possible for her to move her mobile home within the next year and expressed concerti over moving her daughter from the school she attends Ms Diaz suggested that perhaps the tenants could purchase their spaces from the property owner, instead of having the property rezoned to commercial. She stated that she believes everyone in the park owns their trailers. Maria Avila Barron, 1035 W. Smith St., Space 36,Kent,WA stated that she purchased her trailer three days ago after working hard to own a place to live and was surprised about this proposal Ms Barron said that many tenants living in the trailer park speak only Spanish stating that it would be advantageous for the City to provide a Spanish interpreter for the next meeting on this issue Ms Barron stated that even though the tenants have a year to move, they would like more information on how the State or the Still Manor Mobile Home Park owners intend to compensate the tenants for their time and money invested in their mobile homes She voiced concern that many of the mobile homes would sustain damage when moved Bill Foster, 1035 W. Smith St.Space 22,Kent,WA stated that he paid$10,000 for his trailer He stated that he receives a$560 00 monthly disability check and cannot afford to move, questioning who would be responsible for paying for his move.

Smith St., Space 7, Kent, WA stated that he has lived in Still Manor Mobile Home Park for twenty years and his son has owned his mobile home in the park for ten years.

Smith St. Space 4,Kent, WA stated that she owns her mobile home Ms. Simon voiced concern that if the amendment is approved, adequate funding is not available to cover her relocation costs Ms. Simon questioned if Mr Still would consider working with the tenants and perhaps offering financial assistance or purchasing the tenants'mobile homes Ms Simon stated that a previous speaker mentioned the SHAG program as a potential resource in assisting the tenants in relocating She stated that she believed SHAG supports elderly and is not available for younger groups In response to Ms Zimmerman, Ms Simon stated that if she were monetarily compensated for the value of her trailer, she could afford to relocate Juan Delgado, 1035 W. Smith St. Space#17, Kent, WA stated that he has invested hundreds of dollars in fixing his mobile home with the future intent to sell his mobile home and purchase a single family home He stated that if he had known of the owner's intentions to convert this property he would not have invested his money in renovating his 1974 mobile home,which would collapse if moved from the park. Mr Delgado stated that he would like the City to provide a Spanish interpreter at these meetings He stated that he would like the reports translated into Spanish for the benefit of the families in the mobile home park whom speak only limited English.

Lauraine Carlson, 1035 W. Smith St. Space 46,Kent,WA stated that she has not heard of Mr Still but has dealt with the mobile home park owners Andy and Kathy Andras She stated that she found the notice for this meeting posted in the mobile home park laundromat Ms Carlson stated that she has lived in the park for 10 years, purchasing her home with good faith for $15,000 She stated that the manner in which the residents were informed of the potential changes to this site is a disgrace Ms Carlson stated that the property owner's intent is to obtain more money for his property thereby displacing all of the residents who have continued to rent their spaces, while kept uninformed by management of the proposed changes In response to Ms Carlson, Chair Zimmerman stated that the Land Use and Planning Board is a group of citizens living in Kent, who will make recommendations to the City Council based on testimony given Land Use and Planning Board Minutes December 10, 2001 Page 7 of 15 this evening She stated that the Board is interested in what everyone has to say, thanking Ms Carlson for her testimony. Doug Hobkirk, 515 D2 - 20th Ave F. Seattle, WA stated that he is the Executive Director of the Manufactured Housing Community Preservationists, a nonprofit organization created in 1992 He stated that this organization's purpose is to purchase mobile home parks and maintain them as affordable housing, a study commissioned by King County indicated that mobile home parks were closing at a great rate He stated that his organization owns the other mobile home property north of the subject property Mr Hobkirk stated that this organization operates similarly as other nonprofit housing organizations that provide subsidized housing by using bank loans and various public-funding sources He stated that this organization has $30,000 available in Community Development Block Grant funds from Kent to assist residents on the subject site Mr Hobkirk stated that his organization made a purchase offer on Still Manor Mobile Home Park two years ago, which the owner declined in favor of now rezoning their property for redevelopment Mr Hobkirk stated that he generated a report as the result of his experience as a relocation coordinator for two mobile home parks that closed in Seattle He stated that this report outlines the process of relocating homes and the issues involved Mr Hobkirk stated that the State Office of Mobile and Manufactured Housing has a relocation assistance fund consisting of$20,000 administered by Donna Regan Funding is available to mobile home owners in the State who have received a one year notice to move Mr. Hobkirk said that it is difficult to find vacant spaces to move mobile homes. His organization owns two communities in Skyway, with only one vacancy He stated that some older, small spaces are available in a park in Redmond Board member Harmon stated that Mr. Still's report indicates 47 currently available spaces consisting of two double wide motor home spaces, five RV and 40 single wide spaces within this community He asked Mr Hobkirk to estimate the cost of moving a double or singlewide mobile home based on availability of sites in King County Mr Hobkirk stated that the State follows a formula which allows $3500 for single wide and up to $7000 in moving costs for doublewide mobile or manufactured homes These funds typically are not enough due to the cost of specific installation requirements required by local building departments Mr Hobkirk stated that State Law does not require manufactured homes to meet the code requirements of Cities they are relocated to if the relocation is caused by the closure of mobile home parks due to land use changes. Marina Amador, 1035 W. Smith St., Space 42, Kent, WA said that she owns her mobile home and moving from the park could restrict the qualities they have come to appreciate in respect to security, safety and the freedom their children experience by playing outside. Ms. Amador stated that they have never experienced problems with the management Ms Amador stated that moving her older trailer would be a hardship to her family and could cause irreversible damage to her mobile home She stated that it is unfair to ask people to move from Still Manor who have just moved into the park within the last couple months.

Land Use and Planning Board Minutes December 10, 2001 Page 8 of 15 In response to Chair Zimmerman, Planning Manager Charlene Anderson said that proper notification was sent to property owners as well as condominium owners in the vicinity of this subject site Ms Anderson stated that the City's notification methods do not include provisions at this time for noticing individual mobile homes, although the owner of the Mobile Home Park was notified She stated that a public notice board was posted on the site and the hearing was advertised in the newspaper In response to Chair Zimmerman, Ms Anderson stated that staff was unaware that provisions were needed for a Spanish interpreter at the hearing Assistant City Attorney Kim Adams-Pratt concurred when Ms Zimmerman asked her to clarify that City Code does not require publication of notices in Spanish Mr Osborne stated that Exhibit#4 from Mr Still provides demographics and a mobile home park survey, which addresses Board member Fincher's concerns over availability of mobile home spaces in Kent Board member Dowell stated that he would like the residents of Still Manor to receive the facility location information Mr Osborne stated that this information is available upon request through the Planning Services office After discussion by Board members Zimmerman, Malik and Harmon, it was determined that this information could be provided to the property manager, Mr Andras for distribution to the tenants Mr.Andras nodded in assent In response to Board member Dowell, Mr Osborne stated that staff has discussed the relocation reimbursement fund with both Ms. Regan, State Office of Community Development Manufactured Housing and Mr Still Mr Osborne stated that a tenant could receive reimbursement through the State's Manufactured Housing Relocation Assistance Program within two years of relocating The reimbursement provides $3500 for singlewide ,and $7500 for doublewide units based on availability,of funds. Mr Osborne stated that the State statute does not require Mr. Still to provide funds for relocation costs Mr Dowell stated that Mr Still stands to profit by approximately $1,600,000 based on approval of his rezone and property valuation, therefore, Mr. Still should assist his tenants by providing them with relocation costs. Mr. Malik concurred that Mr. Still should compensate the tenants although he voiced his belief that there is not a State statute mandating Mr Still to provide for relocation costs. Asst City Attorney, Ms Adams-Pratt stated that the State Legislature attempted to place the burden of relocation costs on owners who were forcing mobile homes to be relocated and the Court shuck down that statute She stated that the City could not request the owner to provide compensation to the tenants as a condition of the rezone Mr Harmon questioned the moral obligation that Mr Still has to his tenants who have rented space from him for 38 years. Mr Harmon concurred with Mr. Dowell that the owner should compensate the tenants for moving costs,estimating relocation costs at a minimum of$160,000 Board member, Johnson stated that granting a rezone and redeveloping this site would benefit the City economically in terms of improved pedestrian access and the generating of tax revenue. He stated that he is persuaded to consider the Housing and Human Services elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan particularly H-2 1 which says "Promote a wide range of housing to meet the needs of our diverse population and ensure that this housing is available throughout the community for people of all income levels and special needs " Brad Bell and Nicole Fmcher stated that they would not support staffs recommendation to rezone this property,indicating that the applicant has not indicated that he intends to compensate the tenants who will be displaced Ms Zimmerman stated that although the people in Still Manor Mobile Home Park do not own land, they S own their mobile homes and have invested money into a safe haven for themselves and their families. She stated that she does not fault Mr. Still as the law does not require him to do any of the things the Board would desire him to do for his tenants Land Use and Planning Board Minutes December 10, 2001 Page 9 of 15 Ms Zimmerman said that she believes the City of Kent has an obligation to facilitate a reasonable solution by first providing interpreters along with social service professionals to survey and facilitate dialogue between the tenants and the property owner Ms Zimmerman asked staff to assist in formulating a solution for the relocation of the 47 households in the Still Manor Mobile Home Park David Malik stated that he respects both the applicant's and the residents' rights, recommending sending this application for comprehensive plan and zoning map amendments to City Council without recommendation and asking the applicant to propose a solution for relocating the tenants Brad Bell stated that it is inappropriate to request that Mr. Still propose a solution He stated the Board should send this amendment on to City Council with a recommendation Brad Bell stated that although the Board has compassion for the residents, they do not have the power or authority, unlike City Council, to make a request of anyone in resolving the problems associated with relocation Mr Bell stated that it is his understanding that this issue is a civil matter between the residents and Mr Still and that the Board cannot bind Mr Still to any agreements He stated that further planning needs to occur before a final decision is reached on this issue. Brad Bell MOVED and Nicole Fetcher SECONDED to DENY staffs recommendation to approve CPA- 2001-2(A)/CPZ-2001-1 the Still Manor Retirement Living Amendment and send this on to City Council. Motion Carried Unanimously CPA-2001-2(B)/CPZ-2001-2 SOOS CREEK CENTER Bill Osbome stated that the 84 acre subject site is located at 27220 154th Ave. SE. He stated that this . request is to amend the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map Designation from Single Family, 6 units per acre to Commercial and the Zoning District Map Designation from Single-Family, 6 units per acre to Community Commercial Mr. Osborne stated that the site is located at the end of 154th Avenue Southeast, which is the current access point. He stated that the applicant is requesting access to 272nd Street also known as Kent Kangley or State Route 516. Mr. Osborne stated that the applicant has indicated his intention to loin the subject site to an adjacent parcel for commercial use with access onto 272nd. Mr Osborne stated that City staff recommends conditional approval of this application with the condition of prolubiting access to this site from 154th Avenue Southeast Mr Osborne stated that access to 154th Avenue Southeast is a major issue He stated that if a commercial use is allowed access to the residential street, it could create a serious load on the traffic and have a detrimental effect on the single-family neighborhood to the south Mr Osborne stated that the subject site would achieve a more consistent use if the two adjacent properties were joined with access to 272nd He stated that on this particular parcel, automotive use is located at 152nd Mr. Osborne stated that staff received correspondence from a resident who lives adjacent to the subject site, indicating concern that commercial businesses, such as adult nightclubs or bookstores, could be considered for this site and would be inappropriate for single family neighborhoods Mr Osborne stated that in researching this issue, City of Kent Zoning Code Section 15 08 270 prohibits any adult uses, which could include adult book stores or anything of that nature, from being located within 1000 feet of any residential district Mr Osbome stated that other uses for this site would be auto • intensive and therefore, have site development restrictions Ron Harmon referred to a letter submitted by Mr Wilson regarding this proposal Mr Harmon stated that Mr Wilson indicated concern that vehicular traffic would be allowed access to the commercial property from 154 s disrupting the single family neighborhood, and that pedestrian traffic access should be limited to Kent Kangley Land Use and Planning Board Minutes December 10, 2001 Page 10 of 15 Bill Osborne stated that staff has included in the environmental review document, a right-of-way or dedication from the end of 154th through the subject site, to Kent Kangley or Southeast 272nd Street, • which would be a pedestrian or bicycle access route Mr Harmon stated that Mr Wilson indicated that parking should be prohibited on 154" Street. Mr Osborne stated that staff has discussed the consideration for residential parking zones which would be determined at the time of development review. It is staffs belief that denying access to the commercial site from 150 would limit the desirability of parking. Ron Hannon stated that Mr Wilson voiced concern that if a multi-story commercial structure were erected on the subject site,it would overlook his property,thereby infringing on his family's privacy Mr. Osborne stated that under Community Commercial zoning,he believes that the height would be limited to a 2 or 2.5 story building Mr Osborne stated that he believes site development standards would include adjacent property considerations. Ron Harmon voiced concern that the residential property that abuts up to the subject site would need adequate buffering to protect it from potential commercial development and that a commercial development would need to consider installing lighting that would not intrude on the abutting residential property Mr Osborne stated that this issue was addressed in the Decision Document under"Aesthetics— Light and Glare Section" and that the specifics would be addressed through the development review process. Charlene Anderson said that the Decision Document does not attach conditions to the rezone or the comprehensive plan amendment She stated that conditions are applied during development Ms Anderson said that the City encourages pedestrian access from residential to commercial, stating that,she believes that it would be unlikely that a residential street restriction would be enforced to allow only residential users to park on 154 h Avenue. • Brad Bell stated conditional determinations are typically placed on a proposal during the development process and not at this point Ms Anderson stated that although staff does not prefer conditional rezones, this is the rare occasion where staff recommends a conditional rezone. Steve Dowell MOVED and Brad Bell SECONDED to open the Public Hearing Motion carved. Chair Zimmerman declared the Public Hearing open Chris McCann, 17615 Southeast 240th Street, Kent, WA stated that he, Wayne Fortenbeny and Tom Dubral own the subject site He stated that the major reason for the rezone was due to the lack of adequate parking space on the original site in order to construct an economically feasible building Mr McCann stated they have discussed Mr Wilson's concerns with him as well as with the other neighbors A conditional approval would not adversely affect their plans as they never intended to use 154th Avenue Southeast Mr. McCann presented a conceptual drawing of intended development on the site, stating that the building would likely be a two story building constructed near the front of the site with parking in the rear,potentially to be used for medical and dental offices Dean Wilson, 27234 154th Avenue Southeast, Kent, WA stated that the intent of this proposal is to rezone the site adjacent to his roperty from Single Family, six units per acre to Commercial He stated that his concern regarding 1549 Avenue has been resolved by staff s recommendation of closure of 1540' Avenue to vehicular traffic Mr Wilson recommended that consideration be made for appropriate signage along 150 Avenue indicating residential parking only as part of development considerations Mr Wilson stated that he is concerned that if a two-story building is constructed, his property will lose privacy and security He stated that he would prefer that parkmg be placed at the front of the building as vehicles parked at the rear of the property would create pollution hazards and heighten noise Land Use and Planning Board Minutes December 10,2001 Page 11 of 15 Mr Wilson stated that he recognizes that City Code requires a 25-foot buffer between private properties but recommended that City Council consider increasing the buffer so that his property would not sustain significant visual impacts Mr. Wilson encouraged the Board to consider recommending approval of this rezone with the conditions stated Mr Malik stated that once zoning is approved, the Board or City Council could not place any directives on the developer concerning what he should construct on his property Ms Zimmerman stated that the only condition staff recommends to be placed on this rezone regards 154th Street access. In response to Mr. Dowell, Ms Anderson stated that the height limitation in the CC zone is three stones or 40 feet with a provision that the Planning Manager can grant an additional story In response to Mr Harmon, Ms Anderson said that the height limitation in NCC, Neighborhood Convenience Commercial is two stones or 35 feet. Staff has allowed a medical facility in the NCC zone, which was similar in nature to other uses allowed in NCC. She stated that she would review whether medical and dental would be allowed on a general basis in the CC zone. Brad Bell MOVED and David Malik SECONDED to close the Public Hearing.

Mr Elliot stated that a significant reason for developing this site, is that only a few parcels exist adjacent to multifamily zoning, which allows the City to meet their planning goals for growth management Mr. Elliot stated that although the proposed zoning on this site will be at a higher density, arterial roads exist close to this property, with access to transit and schools,all assets in respect to developing tlus site Mr Elliot indicated that he believes the City's wetland's designation for this site is maccurate, citing that when this site was delineated two years ago, significantly less wetlands were indicated Bob MacIsaac, 25001 116th Ave SE, Kent, WA stated that he resides approximately two properties northeast of the subject site He stated that he questioned zoning in this area after the City annexed the parcels across 116th , which was zoned SF-6, while retaining the land he resides on as SF-3 He stated that he favors seeing the subject site remain zoned SF-6 Ron Harmon MOVED and Steve Dowell SECONDED to close the Public Hearing.

Mr. Elliot stated that the neighborhood has all of the accoutrements for multifamily in the neighborhood in the way of schools,parks, access and transit. Bob Maclsaac, 25001 116th Ave SE, Kent, WA stated that he resides directly behind this subject property, to the East Mr MacIsaac stated that although he would favor the subject site remaining zoned SR-3, he would support a rezone to SF-6, as he is not against progress.
