of alternatives or options for solid waste transfer and disposal services
Suburban Cities Association, through its board of directors, has sanctioned this collaboration as
dealing appropriately with both policy and administrative issues raised by the Executive's proposals

Forgot Funding Limitations
Password? The Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Grant Act of 2000 provides funding priority
for Jurisdictions with populations under 100,000 Based upon availability of funds,
Logout these smaller jurisdictions will receive the full 50% of requested funds in approved
applications For larger jurisdictions with populations at or over 100,000, the
program will pay up to 50% of each applicant's total vest costs, based upon any
remaining funds. Specific funding levels for larger jurisdictions will be determined
once all applications have been submitted. Given the projected number of eligible
Jurisdictions and the limited funds available, the BVP may not have sufficient funds
to provide 50%for applications from larger jurisdictions.
It is strongly recommended that jurisdictions and law enforcement agencies not
order vests contained in their application until approved by the U.S. Department of
Justice (DO]), unless they have sufficient resources to cover initial costs and any
potential shortfall that may result if less than 50% is provided by DOI. For the FY
2002 approved applications, larger jurisdictions received 5% of their requested
50% maximum.

1. SUBJECT: 2004 CDBG CONSOLIDATED ACTION PLAN—APPROVE
2. SUMMARY STATEMENT: As recommended by the Parks Committee, approve
the proposed Community Development Block Grant 2003 Action Plan and authorize
the Mayor to execute the appropriate certifications and agreements.
The draft 2004 Action Plan was available for review and comment for a 30-day period.
On September 18, 2003,the Human Services Commission held a public hearing for the
purpose of taking comments on the 2004 Action Plan. The Commission also reviewed
and approved recommendations for CDBG funding for 2004. As in past years, a major
portion of the CDBG funds is recommended to support the City's Home Repair
Program. This program continues to serve many low-income, disabled and senior
homeowners in Kent by providing needed repairs. The program also guarantees that
some of Kent's low and moderate income housing stock is maintained and preserved.
• The amount of money Kent may receive could change depending upon the final federal
appropriations bill Congress passes in the fall. Therefore, the recommended funding of
approximately $973,000.00 includes a contingency plan to address any potential fund
changes that may occur when Congress adopts the 2004 budget. The 2004 Action Plan
is required by HUD and identifies the strategies and goals the City will focus on in
2004.

with unanticipated opportunities that could help meet goals and strategies. The City will take
advantage of these opportunities to further the goals and strategies. The following describes
actions planned for the 2004 calendar year. H

directly to Kent residents through contracts with non-profit agencies. The recommended

CITY OF KENT FUNDING PRIORITIES
In addition to the Consolidated Plan allocation of CDBG funds Is also guided by the City of
Kent's human services funding priorities as established by the Human Services Commission.
The following priorities are considered when allocation funding for regional and local human
services:
PRIORITY 1: Those services which help meet basic and emergency needs (food, medical
care, shelter, protection from abuse neglect).
PRIORITY 2: Programs, which are preventative in nature,and promote a high degree of
self-dependence.
PRIORITY 3: Programs, which seek tdenhance the quality of life in persons whose basic
human needs, are already met.
The City of Kent human service funding allocations are usually equally divide between
Priorities 1 and 2 Priority 3 programs have not been funded due to the critical needs in the
other two priority areas. CDBG public service funding has historically been in the Priority 1
category.

proposed project rezone must consider the impacts from both the rezone itself
and the associated land use proposed by the Applicant. Exhibit 1(a), Staff
Report, page 2; Exhibit 1(b), Application.
2. The City of Kent Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Single-
Family Residential (SR-6), which allows six units per acre. The Plan also
contains goals and policies that relate to the location, density, and design of
future development. Applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan include.
• Provide in the land use plan adequate land and densities to accommodate
both city and county housing targets within the Potential Annexation Area.
Average net residential densities throughout the Potential Annexation Areas
should be a least four units per acre in order to adequately support urban
services. City of Kent Comprehensive Plan, Policy LU 8.1.
• Locate housing opportunities within close proximity to employment, shopping,
transit and human and community services. City of Kent Comprehensive
Plan, Policy LU-8.3.

3. The City of Kent would provide water and sewer service to the proposed
subdivision. An existing eight-inch water main is located under 98th Avenue
South and would be available to serve the site. An existing sewer line is located
approximately 1400 feet north of the subject property and would be extended to
serve the proposed subdivision. Exhibit 1(a), Staff Report, page 5.
4. Access to the subject property is from 98th Avenue South and from 94th Avenue
South via South 237th Street. Ninety-eighth Avenue South has a public right-of-
way width of approximately 40 feet and a street width of 18-20 feet. The street
accommodates two narrow lanes of traffic; however, does not include
improvements such as curbs and gutters, stormwater drainage, cement
sidewalks and street lighting. The right-of-way width for 90 Avenue South is
approximately 20 feet. It accommodates two narrow lanes of traffic and has
inconsistent placement of improvements including curbs and gutters, stormwater
drainage, cement sidewalks and street lighting. Exhibit 1(a), Staff Report, page
4.
5. The City of Kent Master Plan of Roadways classifies 98th Avenue South and
South 236th Street as "residential streets." "Residential streets" are required to
include improvements such as a minimum of 50-feet of public right-of-way, a 28-
foot wide asphalt roadway with two traffic lanes; vertical cement curb and gutters,
a five-foot wide planter strip; a five-foot wide cement concrete sidewalk on both
sides of the street; a stormwater drainage system; a City-approved lighting
system; and other street improvements when fully approved.
The Master Plan of Roadways classifies 94th Avenue South as a "residential
collector arterial." "Residential collector arterials" are required to have a
minimum right-of-way width of 56 feet; a 36-foot asphalt roadway with two traffic
lanes and one, two-way left turn lane; cement curb and gutters; five-foot wide
planter strips; five-foot wide cement sidewalks on both sides of the street, storm
drainage; a City-approved lighting system and other street improvements when
fully approved.
6. The subject property contains three existing residences, which the Applicant
proposed to retain. Residentially zoned property surrounds the subject property,
SR 4.5 zones are located to the north and west, and SR-6 zones are located to
the east and south. Surrounding development includes residential land uses to
the east, southwest and northwest of the project site. There is an existing City of
Kent Pump Station (No. 5) located on adjacent land to the south. The pump

station consists of a pump control building, a 125,000 gallon elevated tank and a
six million gallon aboveground water reservoir. Exhibit 1(a), Staff Report, pages
2, 3; Exhibit 1(b), Application.
7. The purpose of single-family residential districts is to stabilize and preserve
single-family residential neighborhoods, as designated in the comprehensive
plan. The single-family zoning districts in Kent also encourage a range of
densities and lot sizes in order to promote diversity and recognize a variety of
residential environments. KCC 15.03.010.
8. The subject property was historically outside the City's Urban Growth Area in
King County, and designated as single-family under the King County Code. In
1995, the City annexed the subject property from King County and zoned it SR-
4.5, which was a reduction in density from the previous R-6 designation. At that
time, the area was developed with single-family homes on one to five-acre lots
and the SR-4.5 designation was consistent with the development. However, in
recent years the area has experienced increased density from additional single-
family homes. The SR-6 zone would establish a maximum density of 6.05
dwelling units per acre; a minimum lot area of 5,700 square feet; and a maximum
building height of 35 feet. KCC 15.04.170. The Applicant proposes to rezone the
subject property so that is compatible with development in the area. Exhibit 1(a),
Staff Report, page 18; Exhibit 1(b), Application.
9 The subject property contains several isolated wetlands that are located
throughout the subject property. The Applicant testified that he would set aside
Tract D as a wetland tract so that he could configure the lots as proposed Tract
D would contain artificial wetlands in addition to wetlands that presently exist on
the tract. The Applicant submitted a wetland mitigation plan to the City that
described the proposed wetland arrangement. Exhibit 1(a), Staff Report, page 3;
Exhibit 2, Wetland Map; Testimony of Mr. Rykles; Testimony of Mr. Gilbert.
10. Since the Applicant requested a rezone with the intent to develop a subdivision,
the City issued a SEPA Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) on
July 24, 2003, which addressed the rezone and the preliminary plat request. The
MDNS contained conditions that related to traffic mitigation and wetland
protection and preservation. No person filed an appeal within the 14-day appeal
period provided for in the MDNS. Exhibit 1(g), SEPA MDNS.
11. The City provided reasonable notice of the public hearing by posting notice on
the subject property and publishing notice in the King County Journal on August
22, 2003, and by mailing notice to property owners within 300 feet on August 28,
2003. Exhibit 1(e), Public Notice.

CONCLUSIONS
Jurisdiction
The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to hold an open record hearing on this rezone
request, and to issue a written recommendation to the Council, pursuant to RCW
35A.63.170, and Chapter 2 32 and Section 15 09.050 of the Kent City Code.
Criteria for Review
Section 15.09.050(C) of the Kent zoning code sets forth the standards and criteria the
Hearing Examiner must use to evaluate a request for a rezone. A request for a
rezone shall only be granted if:
a. The proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan;
b. The proposed rezone and subsequent development of the site would be
compatible with development in the vicinity;
C. The proposed rezone will not unduly burden the transportation system in the
vicinity of the property with significant adverse impacts which cannot be
mitigated;
d. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the
current zoning district to warrant the proposed rezone; [and]
e. The proposed rezone will not adversely affect the health, safety, and general
welfare of the citizens of the city.
KCC 15.09.050(F)(1).
Conclusions Based on Findings:
1. The proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed rezone supports several of the policies and goals of the City of Kent
Comprehensive Plan. It would allow additional density to accommodate City
population targets in an area that is close to commercial use, human services
and employment opportunities. It would allow single family housing on a variety
of lot sizes, which would be within close proximity to urban activity centers.

#RZ-2002-5 KIVA #RPP4-2023913
Page 6 of 8
2. The proposed rezone and subsequent development of the site would be
compatible with development in the vicinity. Development within the vicinity
includes residential uses in SR-4.5 and SR-6 zones. The rezone and proposed
development would be consistent and compatible with this existing development.
Findings of Facts Nos. 1, 6, 7, 8.
3. The proposed rezone will not unduly burden the transportation system in
the vicinity of the property with significant adverse impacts which cannot
be mitigated. Access to the subject property is from 98"' Avenue South and
from 94` Avenue South via South 237`r' Street. The surrounding streets would
likely need improvements as the subject property is developed with a SR-6
density. The City evaluated potential traffic impacts for the proposed preliminary
plat, which was submitted with the present rezone application. Following review
of the Applicant's proposal, the City issued an MDNS, which sets forth conditions
that would mitigate impact to the transportation system. Findings of Facts Nos.
1, 4, 10.
4. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the
current zoning district to warrant the proposed rezone. Since the City
annexed the subject property in 1995, the area has increased in density of
housing. To accommodate a growing population, residential development has
increased within the City and changed the nature of the once rural setting. The
proposed rezone would allow residential development at a density consistent
with other property in the area. Findings of Facts Nos. 1, 8.
5. The proposed rezone will not adversely affect the health, safety, and
general welfare of the citizens of the City of Kent. Although the proposed
rezone would result in higher density development, there are services in place to
accommodate the growth. The City of Kent would provide water and sewer
service. Although roadways in the vicinity would likely need improving prior to
development of the parcel, once complete the existing transportation network
would provide safe access to the subject property. 1, 3, 4, 10.
RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the preceding Findings and Conclusions, the Hearing Examiner
recommends that this application for the rezone from Single Family Residential (SR-
4.5) to Single-Family Residential (SR-6) on approximately 9.78 acres of property
located approximately 600 feet north of SE 240" Street, on the west side of 98"'
Avenue South and comprised of tax parcels 1822059053 and 1822059154 be
APPROVED. It is the Hearing Examiner's opinion that the rezone request, as
proposed, meets the criteria for approval established by the Council.

roads to City of Kent standards will be required to serve this plat.
Approval of this application will produce 33 new building lots. The
applicant also proposes five tracts for sensitive areas, stormwater
detention, access and utilities.
In conjunction with the request for preliminary subdivision approval, the
applicant proposes to rezone the approximately 9.78 acre site from the
current zoning of SR-4.5, Single Family Residential to SR-6, Single
Family Residential.
B. Location
The subject property is located approximately 600 feet north of SE 240'h
Street, on the west side of 98'h Avenue South.
C. Size of Property
Per the King County Assessors office, the property consists of two
parcels totaling 9.78 acres. The parcels are identified as Tax Parcel
#1822059053 and 1822059145.
D. Zoning
The subject property is currently zoned SR-4.5, Single Family
Residential, which allows for a maximum density of 4.53 units per acre.
The applicant requests a rezone to SR-6, Single Family Residential
zoning, which allows for up to 6 05 units per acre. Properties to the north
and west of the site are zoned SR' 4.5. The property to the east of the
subject site, across 98'h Avenue S. is zoned SR-6. The property directly
to the south is zoned SR-6.
E. Land Use
The City of Kent Comprehensive Land Use Map designates the site as
SF-6 Single Family Residential, 6 Units per acre. Existing development
in the vicinity of the site consists of generally low to medium density
single family residential uses. There are existing residences on proposed
lots 24, 21 and 5, which are to be retained. Adjoining land to the south is
developed with City of Kent's Pump Station No. 5 consisting of a pump
control building, a 125,000 gallon elevated tank and a six million gallon
above-ground water reservoir.

Staff Report
Morgan's Place Rezone and Subdivision
#RZ-2002-6 KIVA#RPP4-2023913
#SU-2000-6 KIVA #RPP3-2023914
Land directly to the north consists of low density single family
development and is zoned SR-4.5. Land to the east, across
98th Avenue S. has been developed with several medium density single
family subdivisions and is zoned SR-6. Adjoining land at the southwest
corner of the subject property has been recently platted to a medium
density through two short plats. Land to the northwest of the site is
developed as the 33 lot, 9.4 acre - Wildberry subdivision.
F. History
The subject property was annexed to the City of Kent on February 28,
1995 as part of the 218 acre Beck annexation area (Ordinance No
3210).
This project was previously reviewed under the name Dorchester
Heights. A tentative plat meeting was held on October 5, 2000 to discuss
development related concerns and to review proposed preliminary
conditions of approval pertaining to this plat.
II. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. Environmental Assessment
A Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (#ENV-2002-52) for the
rezone proposal as well as a project-specific proposal for a 35 lot
subdivision was issued on April 21, 2003. No conditions were proposed
for the rezone portion of the SEPA application.
The proposed project portion of the checklist contemplates a 35-lot
subdivision. The applicant's SEPA application requested both a non-
project analysis (rezone) and project-specific (subdivision) analysis. On-
site environmental impacts associated with the proposed project specific
development have been analyzed and conditioned in the above
referenced determination. The project specific proposal is dependent
upon the outcome of the rezone application.
B. Significant Physical Features
Topography, Wetlands and Vegetation
The subject site slopes gently from west to east at a slope of
approximately 4 percent. According to an approved wetland assessment
prepared by Watershed Dynamics dated November 21, 2002, the subject
Page 3 of 34
Staff Report
Morgan's Place Rezone and Subdivision
#RZ-2002-6 KIVA#RPP4-2023913
#SU-2000-6 KIVA#RPP3-2023914
property is encumbered by three areas of Category III wetlands.
Category III wetlands require a minimum 25-foot buffer and a 15-foot
building setback from the buffer edge. Although 13 significant trees have
been identified, the site is vegetated primarily by grasses as well as
herbaceous plants and deciduous shrubs.
C. Significant Social Features
1. Street System
The subject site is located within the East Hill area of the City and
will take its primary access from 98tt' Avenue S and from
94'" Avenue S. via S 237th Street. Ninety-eighth Avenue S. has
an existing public right-of-way width of approximately 40-feet,
while the asphalt street width is currently about 18- to 20- feet
wide. The existing street provides for two narrow lanes of traffic,
but none of the following other improvements: cement concrete
curbs and gutters; stormwater drainage system; cement concrete
sidewalks; nor a street lighting system. Ninety-fourth Avenue S.
has an existing public right of way which varies, however, the bulk
of it between S. 2371t' Street and S. 240th Street is 30 feet in width.
Like 98th Avenue S., it also is an asphalt street with a width of
about 18 to 20 feet. The existing street provides for two narrow
lanes of traffic and only has sporadic sections of other
improvements such as cement concrete curbs & gutters;
stormwater drainage system, cement concrete sidewalks and
street lighting.
Ninety-eighth Avenue S. is classified as a Residential Street upon
the City's Master Plan of Roadways, which will require, a minimum
of 50-feet of public right of way; a 28-foot wide asphalt roadway
with two traffic lanes; vertical cement concrete curb & gutters, a 5-
foot wide planter strip, and a 5-foot wide cement concrete sidewalk
on both sides of the street; a stormwater drainage system; a City-
approved street lighting system; public utilities, and other street
appurtenances when fully improved.
South 236`t' Street is classified as a Residential Street upon the
City's Master Plan of Roadways, which will require: a minimum of
50-feet of public right-of-way; a 28-foot wide asphalt roadway with
two traffic lanes; cement concrete curb & gutter, a 5-foot wide
planter strip, and a 5-foot wide cement concrete sidewalk on both
sides of the street; a stormwater drainage system; a City-approved

street lighting system; public utilities, and other street
appurtenances when fully improved.
Ninety-fourth Avenue S. is classified as a Residential Collector
Arterial upon the City's Master Plan of Roadways, which requires a
minimum right of way width of 56 feet, 36-foot with asphalt
roadway with two traffic lanes and one two way left turn lane,
cement concrete curb & gutter, 5 foot wide planter strips, 5 foot
wide cement concrete sidewalks on both sides, a storm drainage
system, a City approved street lighting system and other street
appurtenances when fully improved.
This development is within an area which is characterized by
streets with narrow traffic lanes and narrow or no shoulders, and
has been identified as having substandard pedestrian facilities.
This development will require off-site sidewalks ( walkway
improvements to provide safe travel for school-age pedestrians to
and from East Hill Elementary School.
2. Water System
The site is located within the City of Kent water service area. An
8-inch water main is currently located under 98th Avenue S and is
available to serve the site.
3. Sanitary Sewer System
The site is located within the City of Kent sanitary sewer service
area. An existing sanitary sewer main is located approximately
1400 feet north of the subject property and will be extended in
conjunction with future development of the site.
4. Stormwater System
A stormwater system will be necessary to accommodate any
subsequent development. The developer will be required to
complete a drainage analysis then develop and submit drainage
plans prepared in accordance with the 2002 City of Kent surface
Water design Manual and the 1998 King County Surface Water
Resign Manual.

IV. PLANNING SERVICES REVIEW
A. Comprehensive Plan
In 1995, the Kent City Council adopted the Kent Comprehensive Plan
(Ordinance #3222 — April 18, 1995), which represented a complete
revision to the City's 1977 comprehensive plan. The 1995 plan was
prepared under the provisions of the Washington State Growth
Management Act. The Comprehensive Plan, through its goals and
policies, presents a clear expression of the City's vision of growth for
citizens, the development community, and other public agencies. The
plan is used by the Mayor, City Council, Land Use and Planning Board,
Hearing Examiner, and City departments to guide decisions on
amendments to the City's zoning code and other development
regulations, which must be consistent with the plan, and also guide
decisions regarding the funding and location of capital improvement
projects.
The City of Kent Comprehensive Plan is comprised of eleven elements r!
which contain written goals and policies as well as a land use map. The
proposed subdivision supports several goals and policies in the Land Use
element, most notably goals LU-1, LU-8 and LU-9 and policies LU 1.1,
Page 6 of 34
Staff Report
Morgan's Place Rezone and Subdivision
#RZ-2002-6 KIVA #RPP4-2023913
#SU-2000-6 KIVA#RPP3-2023914
LU 8.1 and LU 9.4 related to accommodating growth and providing a
variety of single family lot sizes. The proposed plat is located near
existing urban services and infrastructure. The City supports the
development of close-in vacant or underdeveloped properties which limits
further urban sprawl on the edges of the planning area. In addition, in-fill
development provides a more efficient means of providing services and
enhancing pedestrian mobility. The proposed Morgan's Place preliminary
plat provides an acceptable level of net density (approximately 6.95 units
per acre; depending on the final number of lots approved) to support
urban services. Furthermore, one of the objectives of the comprehensive
plan is to provide a wide variety of housing types and opportunities to
accommodate projected population growth (Goal H-2 of the Housing
Element). Development of single family subdivisions on underdeveloped,
single family zoned land is consistent with this objective.
LAND USE ELEMENT
The Land Use Element of the plan contains a Land Use Plan Map, which
designates the type and intensity of land uses throughout the city, as well
as in the entire potential annexation area. The Land Use Plan Map
designates the subject property as SF-6, Single Family Residential which
allows six units per acre. The land use element also contains goals and
policies relating to the location, density, and design of future development
in the City and in the Potential Annexation Area.
Overall Goal: Encourage a future growth and development pattern which
implements the community's vision, protects environmentally sensitive
areas, and enhances the quality of life of all of Kent's residents
Policy LU-8.1: Provide in the land use plan adequate land and densities
to accommodate both city and county housing targets within the Potential
Annexation Area. Average net residential densities throughout the
Potential Annexation Area should be at least four units per acre in order
to adequately support urban services.
Policy LU-8.3: Located housing opportunities within close proximity to
employment, shopping, transit and human and community services.
Goal LU-9: Provide opportunities for a variety of housing types, options,
and densities throughout the city and the Potential Annexation Area.

Staff Report
Morgan's Place Rezone and Subdivision
#RZ-2002-6 KIVA#RPP4-2023913
#SU-2000-6 KIVA#RPP3-2023914
Policy LU-9.4: Allow single family housing on a variety of lot sizes,
including 5,000 square foot lots. Locate smaller lot sizes within close
proximity to the urban activity centers.
Planning Services Comment:
The proposed rezone and subdivision are supported by relevant goals
and policies contained within the Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. The development proposed through this
subdivision request seeks to establish residential lots at a net density of
6.95 units per acre, which is sufficient to support urban services. The
proposed location is easily served by existing urban services and is in
convenient proximity to commercial areas along 2401' Street SE and
104t" Avenue SE. Also, the proposed rezone is consistent with the Land
Use Plan Map, which allows up to six dwelling units per acre.
HOUSING ELEMENT
The primary goal of the housing element is to meet the current and future
need for housing in the Kent area.
Overall Goal: Ensure opportunities for affordable housing and an
appropriate living environment for Kent citizens.
Goal H-1: Promote healthy neighborhoods by providing a wide range of
housing options throughout the community that are accessible to
community and human services, employment opportunities, and
transportation and by being sensitive to the environmental impacts of
development.
Policy H-1.1: Ensure that community and human services, including, but
not limited to, fire, police, library facilities, medical services, neighborhood
shopping, child care, food banks, and recycling facilities are easily
accessible to neighborhood residents.
Planning Services Comment
The proposed rezone and subdivision are supported by relevant goals
and policies contained within the Housing Element of the Comprehensive
Plan. Appropriate services, including, but not limited to, fire, police,
medical services and neighborhood shopping are easily accessible to
neighborhood residents upon development of the subject property.

NATURAL RESOURCES GOALS AND POLICIES.
Goal LU-20: Protect and enhance environmentally sensitive areas via
the adoption of the 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.
Goal LU-22: Ensure that the City's environmental policies and
regulations comply with state and federal environmental
protection regulations regarding air and water quality, noise
and wildlife and fisheries resources and habitat protection.
Demonstrate support for environmental quality in land use
plans, development regulations, and site plan review to
ensure that local land use management is consistent with
the City's overall natural resource goals.
Planning Services Comment:
The proposed rezone and subdivision are supported by relevant goals
and policies contained within the Natural Resources Section of the
Comprehensive Plan. The property is encumbered by three Category 3
wetlands. Category 3 wetlands require a minimum 25-foot buffer and a
15-foot building setback from the buffer edge. Any subsequent
development on the property will be subject to the wetland area
requirements outlined in Chapters 11.05 of the Kent City Code Future
development of the site will include wetland buffer areas which preserve
the natural features of the site. Wetland buffers also limit the overall
density of the site.
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT:
Goal TR-1: Coordinate land use and transportation planning to meet
the needs of the City and the requirements of the Growth Management
Act.
Policy TR-1.2: Coordinate new commercial and residential development
in Kent with transportation projects to improve affected roadways

Policy TR-1.5: Ensure consistency between land use and transportation
plans so that land use and adjacent transportation facilities are
compatible.
Planning Services Comment:
The Growth Management Act requires consistency between land use and
transportation planning. As noted, the Land Use Plan identifies the area
of the rezone as SF-6 Single Family Residential. The Public Works
Department has identified improvements to the local transportation
network necessary to accommodate the proposed higher density. These
improvements will be required through the conditions of approval
proposed for this subdivision.
B. Standards For Granting A Subdivision
The purpose of the City of Kent Subdivision Code is to provide rules,
regulations, requirements, and standards for subdividing land in the City
of Kent, ensuring that the highest feasible quality in subdivisions will be
attained, that the public health, safety, general welfare, and aesthetics of
the City of Kent shall be promoted and protected; that orderly growth,
development, and the conservation, protection and proper use of land
shall be promoted; that proper provisions for all public facilities, including
connectivity, circulation, utilities, and services shall be made; that
maximum advantage of site characteristics shall be taken into
consideration; that the process shall be in conformance with provisions
set forth in the City of Kent Zoning Code and Kent Comprehensive Plan
(KCC 12.04.015).
The procedures regulating subdivisions are established to ensure quality
development which promotes orderly and efficient growth, the
conservation and proper use of land; protects the public health, safety,
general welfare, and aesthetics of the city; makes adequate provisions for
public facilities in conformance with provisions set forth in KCC Title 15,
Zoning, and the Kent Comprehensive Plan; and complies with the
provisions of this chapter and Chapter 58.17 RCW (KCC 12 04.600).
No subdivision shall be approved unless the following principles of
acceptability are met; the subdivision shall:
1. Create legal building sites which comply with all provisions of KCC
Title 15, Zoning, and health regulations;

Staff Report
Morgan's Place Rezone and Subdivision
4RZ-2002-6 KIVA#RPP4-2023913
#SU-2000-6 KIVA#RPP3-2023914
2. Establish access to a public road for each segregated parcel,
3. Have suitable physical characteristics; a proposed plat may be
denied because of flood, inundation or wetland conditions; slope,
soil stability and/or capabilities; or the construction of protective
improvements may be required as a condition of approval;
4. If adjacent to another municipality or King County, take into
consideration the subdivision standards of that jurisdiction as well
as the requirements of this chapter;
5. Make adequate provision for stormwater detention, drainageways,
water supplies, sanitary wastes, and other public utilities and
services, as deemed necessary;
6. Make adequate provision for the connectivity of streets, alleys,
pedestrian accessways and other public ways (KCC 12 04.635).
As evidenced by the General Information in section I. and the following
responses to the criteria for approving subdivisions, the proposal is in
general conformance with the Kent Subdivision Code.
Furthermore, Section 12.04.685 of the Kent Subdivision Code indicates
that a subdivision shall not be approved unless the City finds that
appropriate provisions have been made for:
a. The public health, safety and general welfare of the
community;
The proposed plat is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan designation of SF-6. The proposed density and lot
dimensions are consistent with the SR-6, Single Family
Residential zoning designation, which has been requested
through application #RZ-2002-6.
b. Protection of environmentally sensitive lands and habitat;
The wetland boundaries and associated buffers have been
delineated by Watershed Dynamics in a report completed
. on November 21, 2002. This report has been reviewed and
approved by the Public Works Department. The wetland

C. Open spaces;
Provisions for open space will be made through payment of
a fee in lieu of dedication of on-site open space as
discussed in section d. below.
d. Community parks and recreation,
The Parks Department has commented that the proposed
subdivision does impact existing park facilities No open
space is shown on the site plan for this project. The
project proponent will be required to pay a fee in lieu of
dedication of land pursuant to Section 12.04.780. This is
based on the value of the subject land at the time of
application for preliminary subdivision approval. As this
application was submitted and deemed complete in
December of 2002, land values from that date have been
used to determine that a fee of $46,050 will be required in
lieu of dedication of open-space within the proposed plat
(based on the values provided by the King County
Department of Assessments). Funds collected in lieu of an
on site dedication of open space will be used for future
improvements and expansion of Turnkey Neighborhood
Park, which is in the vicinity of the proposed subdivision.
e. Neighborhood tot lots and play areas;
Provisions for these areas will be accomplished by the fee
paid under section d. above.
f. Schools and school grounds;
The subject property lies within the Kent School District.
Pursuant to KCC 12.13.160, a per lot impact fee will be
assessed in association with the subdivision of land. The
impact fee will be assessed and collected for each
individual lot at the time of construction permit issuance and
will be based upon the adopted impact fee at that time.

i. Connectivity of sidewalks, pedestrian pathways, traffic
calming features and devices, and other planning features
that assure safe walking conditions within and between
subdivisions for residents and students who walk to and
from schools, parks, transit stops and other neighborhood
services;
Sidewalks will be required along both sides of the proposed
plat streets. Additionally, the applicant will be required to
contribute to a fund for construction of an off-site asphalt
walkway to serve East Hill Elementary School.
J. Connectivity of streets or roads, alleys, pedestrian
accessways, and other public ways within and between
subdivisions and neighborhoods;
The proposed plat is located between two public rights-of-
way (94`h Avenue S. and 98`h Avenue S.). It is envisioned
that this plat will connect to the west with the 8-lot Haupt
Short Plat (SP-99-18) which was approved with conditions
on December 7, 2001 and recorded on December 9, 2002.
Additionally, at such time that adjoining property to the north
(tax parcel #182205-9137) initiates redevelopment, 97 h
Avenue S. will be extended to provide access to those
properties.
k. Transit stops;
Transit service is available less than 0.11 mile to the south
at the intersection of S. 240`h Street and 98th Avenue S.

that the proposed plat will be in conformance with ail of the criteria
listed above.
8. The public use and interest will be served by the platting of such
subdivision and dedication.
9. The City has considered the physical characteristics of the
proposed subdivision site and may deny a proposed plat because
of flood, inundation, or wetland conditions; slope, or sod stability
and/or capabilities. Construction of protective improvements may
be required as a condition of approval, and such improvements
shall be noted on the final plat.
C. ZONING CODE
1. Feasibility of Development
If the proposed rezone from SR-4.5 to SR-6, Single Family
Residential is approved, development on all lots in the proposed
subdivision will be subject to Zoning Code requirements in the SR-
6, Single Family Residential zoning district. All proposed lots meet
the minimum lot size and width requirements for the SR-6, Single
Family Residential district. The applicant has indicated that the
three existing homes located on proposed lots 10, 21 and 24, will
Page 14 of 34
Staff Report
Morgan's Place Rezone and Subdivision
#RZ-2002-6 KIVA#RPP4-2023913
#SU-2000-6 KIVA#RPP3-2023914
be retained. As conditioned in section V, these existing homes are
in conformance with the residential development standards of KCC
15.04.170.
As shown, the existing home located on proposed lot 24 will
access 97'h Avenue S. via a private access road. The orientation
of the existing house and attached garage in relationship to the
private road are such that vehicular access to the garage will be
very difficult. More convenient vehicular access to lot 24 could be
achieved through a reconfiguration of the lot. Additionally, paved
areas that extend from the front and rear of the existing home on
proposed lot 24 currently encroach into adjacent proposed lots and
across the new vehicular access path These encroaching areas of
pavement will be removed upon development of each lot.
The new roadways proposed through this subdivision request will
change the driveway paths by which the existing residences take
access to public right of way. Existing residences on lots 24 and
21 will access 97`h Avenue S. via Tract B, and the residence on lot
10 will access S. 237`h Street directly. The existing driveways and
vehicle maneuvering areas currently associated with these lots are
covered with compacted dirt and gravel. KCC 15.05.090 requires
that accesses to and from public right-of-way be paved in order to
reduce deposits of dirt and gravel onto roadways. Although lots
24 and 21 do not access a public right-of-way directly, paving near
the access point to reduce potential deposits onto the new
roadway is appropriate for all of the existing residences.
Numerous significant trees are located on the site. Zoning
regulations encourage the retention of significant trees where
roads, utilities, and site improvements are not proposed. Tree
retention plans will be required for the plat and development of
each lot where trees are located (per KCC Section 15.08 240).
2. Criteria for Granting a Request for Rezone
The following standards and criteria (Kent Zoning Code, Section
15.09.050) are used by the Hearing Examiner and City Council to
evaluate a request for a rezone. Such an amendment shall only
be granted if the City Council determines that the request is
consistent with these standards and criteria.

#RZ-2002-6 KIVA#RPP4-2023913
#SU-2000-6 KIVA #RPP3-2023914
a. The proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.
Planning Services Comment
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan Map designates the
subject property as SF-6, Single Family Residential which allows
up to six units per acre. A rezone of the site from SR-4 5 Single
Family Residential to SR-6 Single Family Residential will allow
residential development up to 6.05 units per acre, which is also
allowed under the Comprehensive Plan. As previously discussed,
the proposed rezone is also consistent with the applicable goals
and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
b. The proposed rezone and subsequent development of the
site would be compatible with development in the vicinity.
Planninq Services Comment
The proposed rezone and subsequent single family residential
development of the site would be compatible and integrate well
with the existing development in the vicinity. Development in the
immediate vicinity is a mix of platted subdivisions and unplatted
parcels developed with single family homes and zoned SR-4.5,
and SR-6, Single Family Residential. The subject property is
adjacent to the 8-lot Haupt and 8-lot Supra short plats, both of
which are currently under construction and when complete, will
connect to Morgan's Place via an extension of S 237th Street.
Residential properties associated with the Strawberry Lane
subdivision and Swan Vista short plat, located across 98th Avenue
S are zoned SR-6 and developed with homes similar to what
would be allowed if this rezone is approved. Further, this
subdivision proposes to create 33 new residential lots at a net
density of 6.95 units per acre. This density of residential
development is sufficient to support existing local urban services.
C. The proposed rezone will not unduly burden the
transportation system in the vicinity of the property with
significant adverse impacts which cannot be mitigated.

Morgan's Place Rezone and Subdivision
#RZ-2002-6 KIVA#RPP4-2023913
#SU-2000-6 KIVA#RPP3-2023914
Planning Services Comment
A rezone of this property to SR-6 Single Family Residential will not
generate additional trips onto the existing transportation system
However, subsequent development of a proposed 35-lot
subdivision will add a net 32 PM peak hour trips to the local street
system. As detailed in section V of this report, road and street
frontage improvements to meet the City of Kent roadway
standards are recommended as conditions of approval. These
improvements include curb, gutter, sidewalks, planting strips,
street lighting, paving, and public stormwater conveyance. The
applicant will be required to participate in other City transportation
improvement projects by providing an environmental mitigation fee
for the impacts created by development.
d. Circumstances have changed substantially since the
establishment of the current zoning district to warrant the
proposed rezone.
Planning Services Comment
The subject parcels were annexed to the City of Kent on
February 28, 1995 as part of the 218 acre Beck annexation
(Ord. 3210) and are developed with a total of three single family
residences.
In 1995 the City of Kent adopted its Comprehensive Plan which
designated this area as SF-6 Single Family Residential. Along
with the Land Use Plan Map and Policies, the plan also contains a
target for the number of new households the City must
accommodate for the 20-year time horizon of the plan. The GMA
also states the City's development regulations must implement,
and be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. This proposal,
which seeks to establish higher density single family development
with smaller lot sizes while recognizing significant environmental
features is consistent with the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Upon annexation in 1995, zoning for the area was set at R 1-9.6
(equivalent to the current SR-4.5 designation), which represented
a reduction of the allowable density of 6 units per acre associated
with the previous King County zoning of R-6. At the time, the 218-
acre annexation area was generally characterized by single family
Page 17 of 34
Staff Report r
Morgan's Place Rezone and Subdivision
#RZ-2002-6 KIVA#RPP4-2023913
#SU-2000-6 KIVA#RPP3-2023914
homes on lots in the 1 to 5 acre range. Records of deliberations
associated with the initial establishment of the R 1-9.6 zoning
indicate that local residents were concerned with preservation of
the existing neighborhood character and potential traffic impacts,
primarily along 94`h Avenue SE, that would likely arise with further
development of the area. The reduced density associated with the
initial City of Kent zoning was established to address these
concerns. Since that time, significant medium density, single
family development has taken place within the immediate vicinity
of the subject site. The density and character of development
allowed under the proposed SR-6, Single Family Residential
zoning designation would be generally consistent with surrounding
residential development.
Further, since establishment of the current SR-4.5 (R1-9 6) zoning,
significant improvements to sanitary sewer infrastructure in the
immediate area were completed. Specifically, the extension of
sanitary sewer lines located north and west of the subject site has
made the further extension of sanitary sewers to this site feasible.
These extensions were necessary to provide for the higher
densities allowed under SR-6 zoning. Conditions of approval
require the owner/subdivider to improve the existing transportation
network.
e. The proposed rezone will not adversely affect the health,
safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of
Kent.
Planning Services Comment
The proposed rezone is consistent with the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan. Subsequent development on the site will
have to meet applicable codes and regulations, including
mitigation of anticipated environmental impacts. Therefore, the
rezone proposal will not adversely affect the health, safety and
general welfare of the citizens of the City of Kent.
D. CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS
The proposed rezone and subdivision are consistent with the goals and
policies of the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan.

Morgan's Place Rezone and Subdivision
#RZ-2002-6 KIVA #RPP4-2023913
#SU-2000-6 KIVA #RPP3-2023914
1. Type of Land Use Allowed
The development of single family home sites is a principally
permitted use on land zoned SR-4.5 and SR-6, Single Family
Residential.
2. Level of Development Allowed
The proposed subdivision of approximately 9.78 acres into 35
building sites is consistent with the designated Comprehensive
Plan designation of SF-6 Single Family/6 units per acre (pending
the outcome of RZ-2002-6).
3. Adequacy of Infrastructure
The proposed subdivision will place increased demands on
existing transportation, water and sanitary sewer systems in the
general vicinity. The project will also result in a significant net
increase of impervious surface area between the two parcels
involved. When fully developed, the impact of 32 new homes being
occupied will result in an estimated 320 daily and 32 new PM peak
hour trips to the local street system.
The effects on the domestic water supply, sanitary sewer service,
stormwater run-off, conveyance, storage, treatment and discharge
and transportation impacts have been analyzed through the SEPA
process and the associated MDNS conditioned accordingly.
4. Characteristics of the Proposed Subdivision
The proposed subdivision, as presented, appears to be in general
conformance with the Kent City Code with respect to the required
minimum lot area, minimum lot width and access to a public right
of way.
E. PROPOSED FINDINGS
Planning Services has reviewed these applications in relation to the
Comprehensive Plan, zoning, land use, street system, flood control
problems and comments from other departments and finds that:
