A Amiga Center At Kent. (CFN-1395) On March 6`i', the Kent City Council authorized
additional financing and directed staff to continue planning the design and development process
for the Amiga Center at Kent All of these processes are planning processes intended to position
the City to achieve cost savings and maintain scheduling efficiencies if Council approves the
project proposal after completing environmental review and approving the Maximum Allowable
Cost Construction contract("MACC"). Environmental review is currently scheduled to be
complete on or about May 15.
Recently, Mayor Cooke announced that the naming rights for the facility have been secured
through an agreement with Amiga, Inc , if this project is constructed On April 20, both the state
House and Senate passed a Public Facilities District bill and approved a capital funding allocation
for the proposed Events Center If the Governor signs these bills, sufficient funding will likely be
in place to proceed with the project, again subject to completion of environmental review and
further subject to successful negotiation of the MACC
Staff and the Citizens Advisory Committee request that Council continue this planning process by
preparing to develop a Public Facilities District, by analyzing bond funding approaches, and by
authorizing the Mayor to expend additional funds from the general fund or from any appropriate
capital improvement fund on an interim basis, which interim allocations will be fully refunded
from the sale of general obligation bonds to be issued for project completion, if the project is
constructed

Governing Policies Procedures Rules & Regulations:
Background/History: The East Seattle Street Water & Sewer Replacement project was awarded
for $622,999 67. The final project was completed at a cost of $747,215.65, an increase of
$84,215.98 or 12 711/o over the original contract budget. There were three primary reasons for the
overage. The largest single factor ($33,000) was the presence of unsuitable native earth that
necessitated the importing of select material and hauling away of the unsuitable material. The
remainder of the overrun was split between modifications made to the sewer installation due to
unforeseen conditions in the field and additional water main modifications and connections
1 required to maintain system continuity. Accepting the project as complete will trigger the
administrative procedures under the contract to release retainage or applicable liens, as
appropriate.
Summary: The extra work was necessitated by sound engineering practices and could not have
been anticipated without extensive expenditure of up-front costs. The money to defray this
overrun is available in the project funds (both sewer and water).
Recommendations: Recommend the City Council accept as complete the East Seattle Street
Water & Sewer Replacement Project and authorize the Mayor to execute a contract amendment to
increase the contract amount by $84,216 for a total final project cost of $747,216 in a form
approved by the City Attorney.

Subject: Building and Fire Codes Adoption and Amendments
For Meeting of April 23, 2007
MOTION: I move to recommend the City Council enact ordinances adopting the
2006 editions of the International Building, Residential, Mechanical, and Fire Codes
and the Uniform Plumbing Code, together with the City's local amendments to
those codes as depicted in Exhibits A and B.
SUMMARY: On July 1, 2007 the 2006 editions of the International Building, Residential, Fire
and Mechanical Codes and the Uniform Plumbing Code, with statewide amendments, will
replace the current 2003 editions of these codes statewide. Cities are required by law and the
State Building Code Council to administer and enforce these codes, but have the authority to
enact local amendments that do not diminish the Codes' statewide minimum performance
standards. Attached are proposed ordinances to adopt the 2006 code editions, to adopt the
City's local amendments to these codes, and to make other housekeeping amendments.
BUDGET IMPACT: No budget impact is expected.
BACKGROUND: The replacement of the older editions of these codes with the 2006
editions is mandated by Chapter 19.27 of the Revised Code of Washington and Chapters 51-50,
51-51, 51-52, 51-54 and 51-57 of the Washington Administrative Code, effective July 1, 2007.
The attached proposed ordinances provide local amendments which retain many current
administrative provisions including administration of grading regulations and flood plain
regulations by the Public Works Director, appeals being heard by the City's Hearings Examiner,
and consistent code enforcement procedures and penalties.
A proposed new local amendment to the International Building Code allows apartment buildings
(including condominiums), hotels and office buildings an extra story of height, when specified
safety features are part of the design. This will keep Kent competitive with certain other cities
that have enacted similar amendments, while providing equivalent safety. Other amendments
to building, plumbing and mechanical codes are primarily housekeeping in nature.
Proposed amendments to the International Fire Code contain new requirements for the
installation of addressable alarm panels to assist in the prevention of false alarms, the
requirement of visual notification devices to be installed in employee work areas to assist the
hearing impaired, and the additional requirement of sprinklers to buildings which require fire
flows greater than 2,000 gallons per minute to assist fire fighters in the control and
extinguishment of fires.

2006 Building and Fire Codes Adoption and Amendments
Building Official Bob Hutchinson introduced the proposed amendments to update the 2006
International Building, Residential, and Mechanical Codes and the Uniform Plumbing Code and will
be effective July 1, 2007. A local exception to the International Building Code will be to allow one
extra story to buildings with additional safety features.
Division Chief Jon Napier presented the proposed changes to the International Fire Codes. He
submitted a chart explaining the changes to the International Fire Code Section 903.2. A
significant change would be the addition of sprinkler requirements for Type V construction in
commercial zones only. This change would bring the City of Kent's Fire Codes into conformance
with State Codes and King County current practices.
Tim Clark MOVED and Elizabeth Albertson SECONDED to recommend that the City Council enact
ordinances adopting the 2006 editions of the International Building, Residential, Mechanical, and
Fire Codes and the Uniform Plumbing Code, together with the City's local amendments to those
codes as depicted in Exhibits A and B. MOTION passed 3-0.

Lake Meridian sub-basin area as defined in #CPA-2006-5 and #CPZ-2006-2. Tim Clark
SECONDED.
Councilmember Ron Harmon read a statement into the record; citing that "the GMA has implied
that there is a bright-line of 4 units per acre (density) to satisfy their requirements. However, in
Viking Properties vs. Holm, Washington State Supreme Court determined that there is no bright-
line for determining density. Furthermore, it states, "The Growth Management Hearings Board
does not have the authority to make "public policy" even within the limited scope of their
jurisdictions, let alone to make statement public policy. Based on local circumstances you have the
ability to deviate from the 4 growth standard". Harmon continued to read from his statement with
regard to Kent's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Goals and Policies related to
environmental protection, GMA requirements and the preservation of Lake Meridian.
Tim Clark rebutted remarks and stated that the Growth Management Act doesn't have a suburbia.
He stated why he could not support this amendment, although he supports protecting the lake.
Motion PASSED 2-1. (Clark dissenting).
Elizabeth Albertson MOVED to approve the recommendations of the Land Use and Planning Board
to amend the Zoning District and Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan Maps for existing single-
family designations that are 1) mismatched, or 2) within the Lake Meridian Sub-basin as defined in
#CPA-2006-5 and #CPA-2006-2, and to send this on to the Full Council for consent. Motion
PASSED 2-1 (Clark dissenting).
Elizabeth Albertson MOVED and Tim Clark SECONDED a Motion to close the meeting. Motion
PASSED 3-0.

;General Information -
_
Staff members of Kent School District, Kent Police Department, Kent Fire Department and
the Kent Emergency Management Division propose to cooperate on the exercise This
exercise will involve students and staff from the Kent School District along with responders
and support personnel from the City of Kent, and surrounding jurisdictions and Zones
working together. The goal is to improve capabilities, knowledge and skills while testing
plans and preparations designed to protect our students in preparing for and responding to
a terrorist or other school violence episode
The exercise will start with 4-5 armed intruders, who are part of a domestic terrorist
organization (not students), entering and taking over some component of the school There
will be secondary devices used in this exercise in the form of simulated explosive devices
that will provide obstacles and problems for first responders to deal with during the
mitigation of the situation.
The staff has chosen Friday, June 8, 2007 with the target time of 1.00 pm This time is
projected to work with the scheduled release time for the students and as such will not alter
the day for staff, students or parents.
All students and staff on site the day of the exercise will be participants in the initial event
activities. This will be essential in testing of process, planning and response as well as
Page 7 of 18
rr-rub-SHJN-i t-UUi
accomplishing evacuation, isolation of the terrorists, accountability of the school population
and the student release process
There will be a core of participants that will have a greater role This will include the 15-20
students and 2-3 staff that will be hostages Additionally, there will be 7-8 injured students
that require attention and 2-3 of those that will be critical patients to test EMS capabilities
The proposal is to have the exercise at Sequoia Middle School This school was chosen for
several reasons First, it has cameras, which will provide for remote observation and more
realistic scenario by not having personnel "wandering" through the scene as observers or
evaluators. Second, the school is somewhat isolated, this will facilitate security for the
exercise and provide better control to test the process Third, the physical configuration is a
good fit for the exercise
What is the purpose of the project?
The members of the Kent School District and the first responder community have worked
extremely well together in their efforts to plan continuously, adapt their contingencies as
new information becomes available and techniques are developed and proven This
proposal is the next step in our process and the opportunity to be an example in the Region
when it comes to the protection and safeguarding of our children.
The goal is to improve capabilities, knowledge and skills while testing plans and
preparations designed to protect our students Specifically, the participants in this exercise
look to test and enhance their KSA's in support of the NRP, NIMS and to train in a unified
command setting
What problem does the project solve?
This training will provide the ability to test existing plans in the School District and the other
responding agencies These existing plans have not been tested in a functional or
operational setting and this exercise will provide that opportunity
A further gap is the testing of mutual aid and automatic aid procedures and plans The
participating SWAT units have not had the opportunity to test revised plans and the
specifically the response and interaction during a school violence event
Specific training and capability gaps are further demonstrated by the discipline participant
objectives.
School District
Improve capabilities, knowledge, and skills while also testing plans and processes
relative to the following areas:
• Internal school communications between management, divisions, and supervisors,
including alert and notification
• External communications with parents, first responders, and the media j
• Public information budding on the school districts desire to partner with local
government for the safety of all students
• Unified command and coordination with all responding elements
Police Department
Improve capabilities, knowledge, and skills while also testing plans and processes
relative to the following areas
Page 8 of 18
FF Yub-bHb1`- i t-uu,
• Response to Intruder/Shooter in the school to validate strategies and tactics including
unified command and the rapid responder component
• Assessment of the Police Department Operating Center and associated capabilities
in callback and notification procedures
• Test planning capabilities for extended operations by developing an Incident Action
Plan
Fire Department
Improve capabilities, knowledge, and skills while also testing plans and processes
relative to the following areas
• Performance of a Multiple Casualty Incident response in a crisis oriented
environment including participation in a unified command structure
• Assessment of the Fire Department Operating Center in alert and notification and
activation procedures
• Evaluation of the Joint Information System including public information and intra-
department information processes
• Assessment of interoperable communications
Emergency Management
Improve capabilities, knowledge, and skills while also testing plans and processes
relative to the following areas
• Evaluation of Alert and Notification processes and procedures including a Level II
activation of the Emergency Coordination Center
• Evaluation of WEB EOC use
• Testing of interoperable communications with field command and DOCs
• Coordination of Policy makers to identify relevant initiatives
How does the project enhance local / regional homeland security and preparedness
for CBRNE / Terrorist / WMD incidents?
This full scale exercise will assist the participants in their efforts to prevent, to prepare, to
protect, respond to, and recover from terrorist & catastrophic events The exercise will
provide an opportunity to test plans and procedures that are in place for these eventualities
The exercise further supports the overall HS strategy of the State in its testing of the Zone
and regional mutual aid agreements and response partnerships The exercise will test the
interoperability of equipment and communications for all players and will demonstrate the
proficiency and efficiency of interoperable response planning activities
What activities need to be completed to finish the project?
It is the desire of all participants in the exercise to "plan for success". A significant part of
that planning for success is the assurance that all participants are sufficiently and
appropriately prepared for the events of the day
This preparation includes the choosing of the core players with the utmost care and
consideration for the impact this type of event will have The hostages and injured students
and staff will be chosen early in the process and fully apprised of the demands and
requirements for their participation.
Also it will be the goal of the planners to prepare the entire student body, staff and
surrounding community on what to expect and what will happen. While the element of the
unknown is best for the exercise, participants will be informed to the point of ensuring that
Page 9 of 18
FFYub-5HbH- I L-uu.s
there are no negative impacts due to undue fear or anxiety regarding personal safety or
danger
Exercise Design - In order to make this exercise as successful as possible an exercise
design team will be established as soon as practical This team will be represented by
participants from the Kent School District, Police, Fire and Emergency Management
The design team members will be familiar with the school response plan and first
responders. The exercise objectives will be the primary guides for the development of
exercise conditions and parameters Also, the design team will be tasked with ensuring that
a master event list is developed for event control and safety of all participants And finally
the team will ensure that a proper and thorough evaluation and after action process is
designed to ensure that lessons learned and process improvements are not lost.
What are the tangible results and / or deliverables of the project?
This exercise will involve students and staff from the School District along with Zone and
regional responders and support personnel This exercise will be multi-jurisdictional and
multi-discipline and provide the opportunity to test common plans and response procedures.
The anticipated outcome is to improve capabilities, knowledge and skills for all responders
and to demonstrate the ability to function in a unified command environment Evaluators will
be used to provide comprehensive assessment of the response This will provide for an
after action product that will define lessons learned and recommendations for cooperative
improvement
The ultimate goal is the improvement and enhancement of the overall response in Zone 3
and for the Region in the form of improved plans and procedures
How will the grant funds be used to support this project?
Grant funds will be used in several capacities in this exercise.
First— Overtime and Backfill costs for responders on exercise day is essential The ability
to have adequate personnel and support for the exercise is tantamount to success
Second — Goods and services will be a necessary expense The support of meetings for
the design teams, tabletop support in the form of materials and meeting space and the costs
associated with additional instruction for of the students and staff who are active participants
(injured and hostage role players)
Third — material and minimal equipment for the actual exercise in the form of simmunition,
moulage materials, terrorist supplies for role play, IED simulation materials and possible pop
up shelter for security of command and control personnel in the unified command field unit.

Maps — Parks and Open Space (CPA 2005-8/CPZ 2005-5 - KIVA#2054866 and
' ENV 2007-8[A] — KIVA#2070434) and Reconciling Single Family Zoning (CPA
2006-5/CPZ 2006-2 — KIVA#20605041 and ENV 2007-8[B] — KIVA#2070707)
MOTION: I move to approve/deny/modify the 2006 Comprehensive Plan Zoning
District and Land Use Plan Map Amendments for 1) Parks & Open Space and 2)
Reconciling Single-Family Zoning, as recommended by the Planning & Economic
Development Committee, and to direct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary
ordinance(s).
SUMMARY: On April 23, 2007, the Planning & Economic Development Committee (PEDC)
recommended approval of the Land Use & Planning Board's (the Board) recommendations to
amend the Comprehensive Plan's Zoning District and Land Use Plan Maps. The amendments
originated from CPA 2005-8 — Parks & Open Space and CPA 2006-5 — Reconciling Single-Family
Zoning. The complete record for CPA 2006-5 is located in the Council Offices.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND: The Parks & Open Space amendments were prompted by recent property
acquisitions by the City of Kent for park development and the discovery of private properties
with Parks & Open Space designations. There are 65 privately owned affected properties and 9
publicly owned affected properties. The recommended changes are for housekeeping purposes
only.
The Reconciling Single-Family Zoning amendments affect two types of real properties: 1)
properties where the single-family Zoning District or the single-family Comprehensive Plan Land
Use Plan designations do not match and, 2) properties designated single-family located within
' the Lake Meridian Basin. The Board's recommendation varied slightly from staffs based on
consideration of oral and written public testimony on Lake Meridian. The Board recommended
SR-3 Zoning District and SF-3 Land Use Plan designations for all affected properties adjacent to
the shoreline. The Board cited the Lake's unique large scale and its complex and high value as
a critical area requiring additional protection through lower density. The Planning & Economic
Development Committee provided additional reasoning for the low density of SR-3/SF-3, which
are:
• Washington State Supreme Count court case Viking Properties vs. Holm that determined ,
that the Growth Management Hearings Board did not have the authority to legislate the
"bright line" rule of 4 dwelling units per acre based on local circumstances;
• Kent Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element 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 Kent residents;
■ Kent Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Goal LU-21: Foster recognition of the
significant role played by natural features and systems in determining the overall
environmental quality and livability of the community;
• Kent Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Goal LU-26: Protect and enhance natural
resources for multiple benefits, Including recreation, fish and wildlife resources and habitat, j
flood protection, water supply, and open space;
• Kent is achieving Its growth target through flexible development regulations that ensure
maximum use of developable lands and zoning within Kent's urban center that encourages
multi-family housing;
• The loss of potential housing units between SR-4.5 and SR-3 Is minimal (approximately 16
dwelling units) and does not Impact Kent's city-wide housing targets;
• Recognition that Lake Meridian Is both a local and regional recreational facility serving
thousands of families and that It is important"to preserve and protect this large scale and
complex shoreline of significance now and for generations to come".

Motion PASSED 3-0.
2006 Building and Fire Codes Adoption and Amendments
Building Official Bob Hutchinson introduced the proposed amendments to update the 2006
International Building, Residential, and Mechanical Codes and the Uniform Plumbing Code and will
be effective July 1, 2007. A local exception to the International Budding Code will be to allow one
extra story to buildings with additional safety features.
Division Chief Jon Napier presented the proposed changes to the International Fire Codes. He
submitted a chart explaining the changes to the International Fire Code Section 903 2. A
significant change would be the addition of sprinkler requirements for Type V construction in
commercial zones only. This change would bring the City of Kent's Fire Codes into conformance
with State Codes and King County current practices.
Tim Clark MOVED and Elizabeth Albertson SECONDED to recommend that the City Council enact
ordinances adopting the 2006 editions of the International Building, Residential, Mechanical, and
Fire Codes and the Uniform Plumbing Code, together with the City's local amendments to those
codes as depicted in Exhibits A and B. MOTION passed 3-0.
#CPA-2005-8 Parks and Open Space Land Use Maas Designations
Planner Gloria Gould-Wessen presented the Land Use and Planning Board's recommendation. She
stated that the intent of this amendment is to reconcile 9 affected public properties, that have
been added to the Parks inventory, by giving them an open space designation; and, to reconcile
65 affected private properties erroneously designated Parks and Open Space by giving them a
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan designation that reflects the zoning that exists today
Tim Clark MOVED and Elizabeth Albertson SECONDED to approve amending the Comprehensive
Plan Land Use and Zoning Districts Map designations as described under #CPA-2005-8 and #CPZ-
2005-5 as recommended by the Land Use & Planning Board. MOTION passed 3-0.
#CPA-2006-5 / CPZ-2006-2 Reconciling Single Family Zoning.
Planner Gloria Gould-Wessen presented the area-wide map changes that would be made to
reconcile the single-family zoning changes in the City of Kent to bring into agreement the

Carpinito (property in the Lake Meridian area). MOTION passed 3-0.
Planner Gould-Wessen explained that the City was divided into different study areas to present the
area-wide amendments. The study areas are: West Hill, Valley, North East Hill, South East Hill and
Lake Meridian. Planner Gould-Wessen presented the proposed map amendments for each study

Land Use Plan Maps for existing single family designations that are 1) mismatched 2) within the
Lake Meridian sub-basin area as defined in #CPA-2006-5 and #CPZ-2006-2. Tim Clark
SECONDED.
Councilmember Ron Harmon read a statement into the record; citing that 'the GMA has implied
that there is a bright-line of 4 units per acre (density) to satisfy their requirements. However, in
Viking Properties vs. Holm, Washington State Supreme Court determined that there is no bright-
line for determining density. Furthermore, it states, "The Growth Management Hearings Board
does not have the authority to make 'public policy" even within the limited scope of their
jurisdictions, let alone to make statement public policy. Based on local circumstances you have the
ability to deviate from the 4 growth standard". Harmon continued to read from his statement with
regard to Kent's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Goals and Policies related to
environmental protection, GMA requirements and the preservation of Lake Meridian,
Tim Clark rebutted remarks and stated that the Growth Management Act doesn't have a suburbia.
He stated why he could not support this amendment, although he supports protecting the lake.
Motion PASSED 2-1. (Clark dissenting).
Elizabeth Albertson MOVED to approve the recommendations of the Land Use and Planning Board
to amend the Zoning District and Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan Maps for existing single-
family designations that are 1) mismatched, or 2) within the Lake Meridian Sub-basin as defined in
#CPA-2006-5 and #CPA-2006-2, and to send this on to the Full Council for consent. Motion
PASSED 2-1 (Clark dissenting).

Board on January 23, 2006 and December 11, 2006. She stated that publicly owned parcels have
been added to the Parks inventory and staff would like the land use designation to indicate that.
Ms. Gould-Wessen stated that there are 59 affected privately owned parcels with a land use

#CPA-2006-5 Reconciling Single Family Zoning & Land Use Designations
Planner Gloria Gould-Wessen stated that this proposal deals with reconciling single family zoning ,
and land use designations for approximately 4,492 affected tax parcels across the City. She stated
that this proposal was brought to staffs attention through Dkt-2006-4 which deals with matching
zoning districts and the comprehensive plan land use map designations.
Ms. Gould-Wessen stated that the other item within this project is dealing with zoning and land
use designations within the Lake Meridian Sub-basin, brought to staff's attention by the Lake
Meridian Community Association through Dkt-2006-3.
Ms. Gould-Wessen stated that for the ease of analysis, the map and reconciliation proposal divides
the city into geographic locations of West Hill, the Valley, North East Hill, South East Hill and Lake
Meridian.
Ms. Gould-Wessen submitted Exhibits 1 through 39D, Exhibit 40 (an analysis of real estate sales in
the region), and Exhibit 41 (phone comments from Sissi Longthorpe, 25421 114Lh Ave SE)
expressing opposition to higher density in her neighborhood, for the record.
Ms. Gould-Wessen stated that a cluster of parcels: TPNs #2022059332, 9333, 9334, and 9356,
located on the Southeast Hill study area are presently zoned SR-6 with a Comprehensive Plan
Designation of SF-6 and are not part of this project although they were initially included in the
study.
Ms. Gould-Wessen recapped the decision criteria relevant to approving the five proposed
amendment options.
Ms. Gould-Wessen presented the five (5) options under consideration. She stated that there are
nine mapping anomalies listed under Option 1 and they affect 18 parcels. These mapping
' anomalies are within each of the five options.
Assistant City Attorney Kim Adams Pratt referred to her memoranda dated March 22, 2007
addressed to the LUPB members, in presenting an overview on recent case studies concerning
urban density and Growth Hearings Board density rulings.
Public Works Environmental Engineering Manager Mike Mactutis gave a presentation focused on
conditions affecting the water quality of the Lake Meridian Watershed He addressed how
residential development from affects the Lake's water quality and volume, citing runoff from
impervious surfaces, yards and household chemical runoff as well as impacts from vehicular traffic.
rMr. Mactutis stated that Lake Meridian formed from glaciers approximately 12,000 years ago and
was developed as more of an agricultural area over the first part of the 1900's transforming into
' single family residential through the second portion of the 1900's up to the present day.
Mr. Mactutis spoke about the design standards the city applies for the Lake Meridian Basin area
' with respect to detention ponds to mitigate for the water run-off from developments and to
maintain water quality. He stated that the City applied a resource stream protection water quality
standard for the basin area, requiring developments vested after 2002 to comply with these
standards.
Mr. Mactutis stated that a number of water quality studies were done beginning in the 1970s and
continuing through the present. He stated that the City found the lake to meet the oligotrophic
standards for good water quality. Mactutis stated that water samples obtained from the major
storm drainage outfalls from individual basins flowing into the lake are generally showing the same
results that have been seen over the last 30 years for phosphorus.
' Mr. Mactutis stated that the City is in the current phases of construction on a labyrinth wier for the
Lake's outlet, designed to increase the outflows from the lake when the water levels are higher,
and will allow the downstream channel, which has fish habitat, to increase the flows into that
stream approximately one month further into the summer time.
Mr. Mactutis stated that although you see some water quality impacts around the shallower parts
'- of the lake, in general the quality of the Lake Is good The Lake's deepest point is 90 feet and as
such is resilient and able to handle more water quality impacts from development than lakes such
as Clark Lake and Lake Fenwick.
Ms. Gould-Wessen described the following five options:
Option 1) This is the no change option. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation dictates
what the zoning will be. So all the zoning would move up to the existing Comprehensive Plan Land
Use Designation.
Option 2) This option maintains the existing zoning districts and the Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Designations would be lowered to the existing zoning.
Land Use and Planning Board Meeting
Minutes-March 26, 2007
Page 2of7
Option 3) This option is similar to Option 2 with the exception of the Lake Meridian Sub-basin. In '
the Basin properties with a Zoning District designation of SR-4.5 and SR-6 would be lowered toSR- '
3 and their Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designations would change from SF-6 to SF-3.
Option 4) This option is similar to Option 2. For properties in the Lake Meridian Sub-basin, the
Zoning Districts would change from SR-4.5 and SR-6 to SR-1 and be supported by a
Comprehensive Plan and Use Map designation of Urban Separator.
Option 5) Ms. Gould-Wessen stated that staff is recommending this option and indicated that this t
option shows the nine mapping anomalies; further stating that the staff report details the entire
options.
West Hill) Ms. Gould Wessen stated that the West Hill study area properties would generally be ,
zoned to match the higher Comprehensive Plan Land Use designations with a few exceptions She
stated that the largest exception is the properties located in the wooded wetlands and the '
headwaters of McSorley Creek. She stated that staff is recommending lowering the Zoning District
for this area to SR-1 supported with a Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation of Urban
Separator.
Valley) Ms. Gould-Wessen stated that a parcel of property in the Valley would change from a split
zone designation to a single zone to represent land use zoning of M-1 and Industrial for the entire
parcel. '
North East Hill) Ms. Gould-Wessen stated that the North East Hill study area Comprehensive Plan
Land Use designation would remain at SF-6 and the zoning increase to SR-6. She cited exceptions ,
where the Zoning District would stay the same at SR-4.5 and the Land Use designation would
decrease to SF-4.5 in support of the zoning. She stated that there is a section of property that has
a Land Use designation of SF-8 where the zoning would increase to SR-8. '
South East Hill) Ms. Gould-Wessen stated that the zoning would match the Comprehensive Plan
Land Use designations which are generally SF-6 with the exception of an area near Scenic Hill,
where the Land Use designation would decrease to match the SR-4.5 zoning.
Lake Meridian) Ms. Gould-Wessen stated that the Zoning Districts and the Land Use Map
designations throughout the area would change to SR-4.5 and SF-4.5. ,
Community Development Director, Fred Satterstrom stated that a reconciliation process was begun
when the Council decided they would like to make zoning decisions legislatively on an area wide
basis as opposed to a piecemeal basis.
Jack Ottini MOVED and Steve Dowell SECONDED a Motion to Accept Exhibits Numbers 1-41 '

Page 3 of 7
CRAIG ANDERSON, 26424 WOODLAND WAY S, KENT, WA (SOUTHEAST HILL) stated that his
neighborhood is surrounded by SR-8. He stated that developers are buying single family parcels
from 1041h to 2671h for development. He cited a multifamily development planned near his
neighborhood which will encroach into the neighboring parcels. He voiced concern that he did not
' see an environmental statement for MITI Creek, Indicating it as either a public park or other
recreational usage.
DENISE SIMPSON, 10005 SE 267T" ST, KENT, WA (SOUTH EAST HILL) stated that her Scenic Hill
neighborhood consists of large lots, houses and trees. She voiced her concerns with developer
attempts to increase zoning to SR-6, clear-cut trees, resulting in degrading her neighborhood She
voiced support of staff's recommendation to retain 4.5 zoning and change the comprehensive plan
' designation to match the zoning.
GEORGE WEDVIK, 26510 WOODLAND WY S, KENT, WA (SOUTH EAST HILL) stated that he does
not want his neighborhood to deteriorate due to high density housing and voiced support for any
improvements the city could implement to relieve traffic congestion.
NADINE BISHOP, 26504 99TH PL S, KENT, WA (SOUTH EAST HILL) said that she resides on a cul-
de-sac backed up to Mill Creek, and would like zoning to remain at 4.5.
JILL LEGHORN (daughter-on behalf of) HERMAN & LOUISE PAULSON, 25325 116TH AVE SE, KENT,
' WA (SOUTH EAST HILL) stated that her folks agree with staffs recommendation to zone this area
SR-6, for consistency with zoning on property located behind and across from their property.
' NANCY STREIFFERT, 10102 SE 270T" PL, KENT, WA (SOUTH EAST HILL) stated that forty of her
neighbors signed a petition in favor of staff's recommendation to retain 4.5 houses per acre
zoning. She submitted the petition for the record. She spoke on her concerns with increased
traffic and flooding issues based on new development.
WILLIAM FIEBERG, 27252 1215T AVE SE, KENT, WA (SOUTH EAST HILL) voiced opposition to
rezoning many residential areas to higher densities where apartments or condominiums would
potentially be built. He stated that although this would mean more revenue for the city, people
would be unable to pay their taxes because of increased real estate values.
PAUL MORFORD, PO BOX 6345, KENT, WA (SOUTH EAST HILL) voiced support for staff's
recommendation for a zoning designation of SR-6 for the area primarily located to the north of
256`h and between 1111h and 116d' heading north to approximately 253'd, as it would be compatible
' with the surrounding properties already zoned SR-6.
DONALD WEST, 25866 136T" AVE SE, KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) voiced concern with a housing
development going in on the corner of 256th and 1361h without evidence of a left turn lane going in
on 2561h to alleviate congestion and the already high volume of traffic.
' Engineering Development Manager Mike Gillespie clarified that the roadway Mr West is concerned
with is located east of 132"6 on the north side of 256 . He stated that several developments are
occurring at present and those developments are adding paved shoulders to that road. Mr.
' Gillespie stated that the City intends to widen the street to 3 lanes in the future as part of a Capital
Project. He stated that the timeframe for widening 256`h is in Public Works Capital Improvement
Plan and is one of the projects on the priority list for the Transportation Master Plan, currently
' being reviewed by the Council.
SHARON BOSSE, 25739 135T" AVE SE #41, KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) spoke on issues related
to the Lake's declining water clarity, contaminant levels, pollutants, and storm water runoff. She
' referred to a King County Lake Monitoring Report completed between 1999 and 2003. She urged
the Board to consider zoning the Lake Meridian area SR-3.
Land Use and Planning Board Meeting
Minutes-March 26, 2007
Page 4 of 7
KARL WAGONER, 13613 SE 266T" ST., KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) spoke on issues related to
Lake Meridian's poor water quality, citing the Lake as a Class-5 impaired lake, based on a '
Department of Ecology report.
MONICA O'NEILL, 26459 137T" AVE SE, KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) speaking on behalf of the
Lake residents, stated that they desire to see a variety of densities including lower density options. '
Ms. O'Neill reported on statistics from questionnaires completed by Kent citizens from a series of
workshops held by the City of Kent, with respect to what they favored in terms of zoning around
Lake Meridian. She cited that the majority of citizens favored a zoning of SR-3 for the Lake
Meridian Watershed.
KATHY CURTIS, 14256 SE 270T" PL, KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) spoke about concerns with ,
inadequate infrastructure to support development and public safety issues that would occur. She
stated that the roads cannot adequately support SR-6 zoning densities and urged the Board to
consider a lower density of SR-3. ,
BRUCE AXWORTHY, 26320 135T" AVE SE, KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) Vice President of the Lake
Meridian Community Association, spoke about concerns with the deterioration of the Lake's water
quality, voicing opposition to higher density development.
JOHN NASON, 14405 SE 266T" ST, KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) spoke in favor of SR-3 zoning for
property contiguous to the lake and zoning properties set back from the lake at an SR-4.5 level to
allow for some density.
KEITH REICHOW, 26409 148T" AVE SE, KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) spoke in opposition to higher ,
density development close to the lake based on his water quality concerns.
SALLY MCDONOUGH, 26441 137T" AVE SE, KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) stated that residents
have turned in and referenced a variety of documents with pertinent information from the State of
Washington Agencies; the Water Quality Management from 2005, Wetlands in Washington State
from 2005, Washington Priority Habitats and others. She stated that the staff sources and '
bibliography are up to 13 years old and from out of state, questioning if staff has used Best
Available Science (BAS) to make recommendations on this project.
Ms. McDonough stated that the 2006 Protecting Water with High Density document used in staff's '
recommendation concludes "a superior approach to protect water resources locally is likely to be
some combination of development densities based on local factors incorporating adequate open
space, preserving crobcal ecological and buffer areas, and minimum land disturbance." '
Ms. McDonough stated that the community feels they are up against resistance for down-zoning to
3-houses per acre to protect the Lake Meridian Watershed and more importantly Lake Meridian. '
KIM FISCHER, 25011 135T" AVE SE, KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) spoke on issues of traffic
congestion, the economic benefits to the City and developers with a higher density zoning. She
spoke about the unfairness for those property owners who would lose property value while others ,
would gain property value if a higher density rezone occurs. She stated that over-congestion is
having a direct impact on the lake's water quality. She voiced support for SR-3 zoning for
properties around the lake with a 4.5 zoning designation for properties set back from the lake. '
HANS FREIWALD, 11824 SE 270T" ST, KENT, WA (SOUTHEAST HILL & LAKE MERIDIAN) spoke on
environmental issues. He stated that most catch basins are inadequate to accommodate water
runoff. He spoke on how developers are destroying the salmon habitat in Mill Creek and how the
spawning areas need to be restored. He voiced support for SR-3 zoning for surrounding lake
properties with a zoning of 4.5 for those properties set back from the lake. Mr. Freiwald spoke
about the need to educate people on the use of organic fertilizers to eliminate contaminating the '
Lake.
Land Use and Planning Board Meeting '
Minutes-March 26, 2007
Page 5 of 7
' BILL DINSDALE, 13700 SE 266T" ST., KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) spoke on Issues related to
water levels and water quality and housing densities. He stated that he owns 50 acres to the
south of Lake Meridian zoned SR-6 which would not affect densities around Lake Meridian.
' He stated that the health of Soosette Creek, which runs across his property, has improved with the
construction of a major retention pond, which has stopped flooding and regulated water flow and
allowed salmon to return to the Creek. He stated that an oil separator has been put in place that
' catches water runoff from 266th and separates oil out. He stated that people should be able to live
in the Lake Meridian area and not be priced out of the area.
' EDWIN THOMAS, 27239 1215T AVE SE, KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) stated that water retention
ponds are not adequate to accommodate water runoff nor filter out pollutants.
BRIAN MCDONOUGH, 26441 137T" AVE SE, KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) spoke on issues related
' to the Lake's poor water quality, citing contaminants from impervious surface, asphalt and roof
runoff. He urged staff to plan for the entire watershed not just the boundary surrounding the Lake
in deciding where the zoning is going to be allowed. He stated that if all the trees are removed,
' the lake doesn't have a chance.
JAMES ISHII, 9210 S 237T" PL, KENT, WA (NORTH EAST HILL) stated that his concern is the
parcels located north of 240th or James Street on 94th. He stated that it looks like the intent is to
increase density to SR-6 for those parcels, urging the Board to retain those parcels at a SR-4.5
zoning density; as 94' has only one easy exit out to James Street. He stated that this is a
' dangerous area with an already high volume of traffic where children travel. He spoke about
surface water drainage issues in his area urging the Board to retain the lowest possible density.
' JAMES T TUNTLAND, 25725 135T" PL SE, KENT, WA (LAKE MERIDIAN) spoke about the children
being a valuable commodity and that they are being endangered when their space is being taken
from them if densities are increased at six homes per acre.
' Seeing no further speakers, Jack Ottini MOVED and Alan Gray SECONDED a Motion to Close the
Public Hearing. Motion CARRIED 6-0.
' Ms. Gould-Wessen submitted one additional exhibit from Mr. Brian Minnis, 9444 S 284"1i St., Kent

Minutes- March 26, 2007
Page 6 of 7
After discussion, Board Members Dowell, Ottini, Johnson and Gray expressed their support for
zoning lots contiguous to Lake Meridian SR-3, with member Johnson and Kondelis stating that they ,
felt a 4.5 zoning would not create significantly negative Impacts.
After extensive deliberations, Dana Ralph MOVED and Steve Dowell SECONDED a Motion to accept
staffs recommendation of Option #5 for the Lake Meridian area with the exception of properties '
directly adjacent to the Lake, electing to apply staff's recommendation under Option #3 to
designate those properties SR-3/SF-3, justifying their recommendation based on the following
specific criteria used by the Growth Management Hearings Board to determine appropriate urban '
densities; as outlined in Kim Adams Pratt's memoranda:
#1, 5. a & b and 6.b. 1. "The City is able to accommodate its share of the 20 year growth '
forecast, now and in the future". 5. a) Lake Meridian "contains large scale, complex, high value
critical areas that require an additional level of protection", and 5. b) Lake Meridian "contains
limited unique geologic or topographical features that require the additional protection through low ,
densities than can be provided by critical area regulations" 6.b) Regarding "the percentage of
residential land designated at densities less than 4 du/ac,"as a whole the number of lots adjacent
to Lake Meridian that the Board is recommending for a SR-3/SF-3 density is very small as
compared to the total number of lots in that area where the Board is recommending a designation
of 4.5.
Motion CARRIED 5-1 with Aleanna Kondelis Opposed. ,
Election of Officers

SCOPE
The City of Kent has completed environmental analysis, pursuant to the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), for options related to modifications to the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use & Zoning District Maps for existing single family
designations. Specifically, the proposed area -wide map amendments seek to 1) match
designations on both maps and to determine appropriate Land Use & Zoning Map
1 designations within the Lake Meridian sub -basin (even those designations that currently
match) (Docket Nos. 2006-3 & 4), and 2) to ensure only public properties have a Parks
& Open Space Land Use Map designation (Docket 2005-7). For ease. of analysis, the
map reconciliation proposal divides the City into geographic study areas of West Hill,
Valley, North East Hill, South East Hill and Lake Meridian, and the study area includes
approximately 4,500 tax parcels.
fFive
options were evaluated under SEPA for Dockets 2006-3 & 4. There also are nine
mapping anomalies or housekeeping changes that are the same under all options.
These anomalies affect eighteen parcels: 1) West Hill — four parcels which would have
their Land Use Map designation change from Commercial to SF-6 to match their existing
Zoning District designation, and one parcel developed with condominiums which would
have the Zoning District designation change to MR-G to match the existing Land Use
Map designation; 2) Valley — one parcel which would have its current split designations
change from SR-6/M1 and MU/I to M1/I for the entire parcel; 3) North East Hill — one
parcel which would have its zoning lowered from SR-6 to SR-4.5 to match the existing
Land Use Map designation, one parcel which would have its Zoning District change from
Office to SR-6 to match the existing Land Use Map designation, and one parcel which
would have its Land Use Map designation change from MDMF to SF-6 to match its
lexisting
Zoning District designation; and 4) South East Hill — one parcel which would
F
ENV-2007-8(A) & (B)
Reconciling Single Family Zoning & Land Use Map Designations and Parks & Open Space Designations
Comprehensive Plan EIS - Addendum
have its current split designations change from SR-4.5/MR-M and SF-6/MDMF to MR-
M/MDMF for the entire parcel, seven parcels which would have their current split
designations change from SR-4.5/SR-1 and SF-4.5/US to SR-1/US for the entire parcels,
and one parcel which would have its Zoning District designation change from SR-6 to
MRT-12 to match the existing Land Use Map designation.
Option 1 — No Change
This option proposes no change to existing Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map
designations for single family residential and changes the existing Zoning Districts map
designations upward to match the existing Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map
designation.
Option 2
Option 2 proposes generally to maintain Zoning District designations of SR-4.5, to lower
Zoning District designations of SR-6 and to lower Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map
designations of SF-6 and SF-8 to Zoning District and Land Use Map designations of SR-
4.5/SF-4.5.
Option 3
Option 3 is similar to Optaon 2 except in the Lake Meridian area where properties outside
the Lake Meridian sub -basin boundary would maintain their Zoning District designation
of SR-4.5 and have their Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation lowered to SF-
4.5. Within the Lake Meridian sub -basin boundary, properties would have their Zoning
District designations of SR-4.5 and SR-6 and Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan Map
designation of SF-6 lowered to SR-3/SF-3.
Option 4
Option 4 is similar to Option 2 except in the Lake Meridian area. Properties outside the
Lake Meridian sub -basin boundary would maintain their Zoning district designation of
SR-4.5 and have their Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation lowered to SF-4.5,
Within the Lake Meridian sub -basin boundary, properties would have their Zoning
District designations of SR-4.5 and SR-6 and Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan Map
designation of SF-6 lowered to SR-1/Urban Separator.
Option 5
Option 5 is the staff recommended option. The nine anomalies/housekeeping changes
are included in this option, On the West Hill, properties generally would be zoned to
match their higher Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designations. One exception is
property with wooded wetlands that function as the headwaters of McSorley Creek,
where staff is recommending lowering the Zoning District and Land Use Map
designations to SR-1/Urban Separator. Within the North East Hill are recommendations
to generally raise the Zoning District designation to match the higher Comprehensive
Plan Land Use Map designation. One exception is at the base of East Hill where it is
recommended the Land Use Map designation be lowered to match existing zoning.
Within the South East Hill area for approximately 1000 parcels staff is recommending
Page 2 of 7
ENV-2007-8(A) & (B)
Reconciling Single Family Zoning & Land Use Map Designations and Parks & Open Space Designations
Comprehensive Plan EIS - Addendum
raising the Zoning District designation to match the higher Land Use Map designation.
For 126 parcels west of 104"' and between SR-516 and 272nd, it is recommended the
Land Use Map designation is lowered to match the existing zoning. For the Lake
Meridian area, it is recommended that Zoning District and Land Use Map designations
throughout are SR-4.5/SF-4.5.
Land Use Map Designation - Parks & Open Space
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map & Zoning District designations of all properties
that are publicly -owned would change to either Parks & Open Space or Urban Separator.
Nine properties are affected. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map & Zoning District
' designations of all properties that are publicly -owned would change to designations
similar to surrounding designations and range from Urban Separator and Mobile Home
Park to Industrial.
Additional information about the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and Zoning District
alternatives can be found in the Planning Services Staff Reports to the Land Use and
Planning Board dated March 16 and March 19, 2007 which are included in the
addendum packet.
The SEPA analysis covers the alternatives described above. The scope of this addendum
adds analysis to the Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in the
following areas: earth, air, water, plants & animals, land use & housing, transportation,
' public services & utilities.
BACKGROUND
On December 12, 2006 the Kent City Council approved for action two combined
docketed items — one that sought to determine appropriate Comprehensive Plan Land
Use Map & Zoning District designations that currently do not match for single family
designations, and one to determine appropriate designations for properties located
within the Lake Meridian sub -basin. The Council also approved for action Docket 2005-7
to determine appropriate Land Use Map & Zoning Distrct designations for properties
that are publicly owned and for private properties that currently have a Parks & Open
Space Land Use Map designation. This environmental analysis provides an addendum to
the City's Comprehensive Plan EIS related to these nonproject actions.
SEPA Compliance
In October 1993, the City of Kent issued a Determination of Significance (DS) and Notice
of Scoping for the Comprehensive Plan (ENV-93-51). After a series of public meetings, a
tDraft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was issued on July 18, 1994 for the Draft
Comprehensive Plan, issued on the same date. The DEIS was distributed to City Council
and Planning Commission members, adjacent jurisdictions, affected agencies and other
' parties of interest. After comments on the DEIS were solicited and reviewed, a Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was issued and distributed on January 30,
1995.

Comprehensive Plan EIS - Addendum
The EIS analyzed the environmental impacts of the Comprehensive Plan, which was
adopted April 18, 1995. The purpose of the EIS for the Comprehensive Plan was to
assess the impacts of the Plan on the City and its growth area. The EIS does not
analyze the significance of site specific impacts; it analyzes the significance of impacts
on a broad area.
This Addendum to the Kent Comprehensive Plan EIS provides additional information
regarding potential significant adverse impacts associated with the proposed code
amendments. Analysis shows that adopting the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and
Zoning District designations may cumulatively allow less density than currently is
envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan, and will not create the need for mitigation
beyond that which was identified in the Comprehensive Plan EIS. The decrease in area -
wide density under the reconciliation proposal ranges from approximately 130 dwelling
units (staff recommended option) to approximately 630 dwelling units (Urban
Separator/SR-1 option within Lake Meridian sub -basin). The changes in area -wide
density under the Parks & Open Space proposal are insignificant (a potential increase of
approximately 21 dwelling units).
Statement of Consistency
Future project permit applications will be subject to and shall be consistent with the
following: City of Kent Comprehensive Plan, the Kent City Code, International Codes,
Public Works Standards and all other applicable laws and ordinances in affect at the time
a complete project permit application is filed.
Environmental Review — Scope of EIS Addendum
The City of Kent has followed the process of phased environmental review as it
undertakes actions to implement and amend the Comprehensive Plan. The State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and rules established for the act, WAC 197-11, outline
procedures for the use of existing environmental documents and preparing addenda to
environmental decisions.
Non project Documents — An EIS prepared for a comprehensive plan, development
regulation, or other broad based policy documents are considered "non -project," or
programmatic in nature (see WAC 197-11-704). These are distinguished from EISs or
environmental documents prepared for specific project actions, such as a building permit
or a road construction project. The purpose of a non -project EIS is to analyze proposed
alternatives and to provide environmental consideration and mitigation prior to adoption
of an alternative. It is also a document that discloses the process used in evaluating
alternatives to decision -makers and citizens.
Phased Review — SEPA rules allow environmental review to be phased so that review
coincides with meaningful points in the planning and decision making process, (WAC
197-11-060(5)). Broader environmental documents may be followed by narrower

documents that incorporate general discussion by reference and concentrate solely on
issues specific to that proposal. SEPA rules also clearly state that agencies shall use a
variety of mechanisms, including addenda, adoption and incorporation by reference, to
avoid duplication and excess paperwork.
Prior Environmental Documents - The City of Kent issued a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) for the Comprehensive Plan on 3uly 18, 1994 (#ENV-93-51). The
DEIS analyzed three comprehensive plan land use alternatives, and recommended
mitigation measures, which were used in preparing comprehensive plan policies. The
preferred land use alternative which was incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan was
most closely related to Alternative 2 of the DEIS, (the mixed -use alternative). A Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was issued on January 30, 1995, and the
Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the City Council on April 18, 1995. Therefore, the
impacts of the Land Use Element adopted in the Comprehensive Plan are within the
range of impacts evaluated in the EIS.
Scope ofAddendum — As outlined in the SEPA rules, the purpose of an addendum is to
provide environmental analysis with respect to the land use and zoning designation for
the subject property. This analysis builds upon the Comprehensive Plan EIS but does
' not substantially change the identified impacts and analysis; therefore it is prudent to
utilize the addendum process as outlined in WAC-197-11-600(4)(c).

Environmental Elements
All environmental elements were adequately addressed within the parameters of the City
of Kent Comprehensive Plan EIS, draft and final. Further, subsequent "project" actions
would require the submittal of separate environmental checklists, pursuant to SEPA,
which will be analyzed for consistency with the original mitigating conditions and may
require new mitigation based upon site -specific conditions.
Discussion of Environmental Elements
Earth
Grading is anticipated with future project actions which will be subject to site -specific
environmental review and the application of appropriate City codes and ordinances. No
impacts will result from this nonproject action.
Air
Long term, there is expected to be a decrease in density which would lower emissions
generated by typical single family development. Upon development of properties, short
term impacts could be associated with construction activities on specific properties.
Impacts would be evaluated on an individual basis with specific development proposals.
Water

ENV-2007-8(A) & (B)
Reconciling Single Family Zoning & Land Use Map Designations and Parks & Open Space Designations
Comprehensive Plan EIS - Addendum
With the exception of the no -change option, it is anticipated overall impervious surface
would decrease due to the reduction in number of potential new housing units area -
wide as well as within the lake Meridian sub -basin. Impacts to surface and ground
water and water runoff will be evaluated with specific development proposals. The
City's Critical Areas Ordinance, Shoreline Master Program, Construction Standards, and
Surface Water Design Manual will help mitigate adverse impacts associated with future
development.
Plants & Animals
The proposed decreases in density may allow upon development additional conservation
of existing vegetation and provision of additional wildlife habitat.
Land Use & Housing
An area -wide decrease in residential capacity (from approximately -130 to -630
households) is anticipated with all but the no -change option. Increased open space may
result from lower -density designations. Please refer to the March 16 and March 19,
2007 staff reports for additional land use and housing discussion.
Transportation, Public Services & Utilities
Except under the no -change option, there will be a potential decrease in number of
residential dwelling units, thereby reducing overall demand on transportation, public
services and utilities. The decrease in demand may affect the time frame for provision
of regional transit services.
II. Summary and Recommendation
A. Summary
Kent City Code section 11.03.510 identifies plans and policies from which the City
may draw substantive mitigation under the State Environmental Policy Act. This
nonproject action has been evaluated in light of those substantive plans and
policies as well as within the overall analysis completed for the City's
Comprehensive Plan EIS.
B. Decision
The City of Kent Comprehensive Plan EIS, draft and final, provided extensive
analysis with regard to the environmental impacts associated with the
implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. The mitigating conditions included
anticipated impacts associated with the increased traffic, sensitive areas and
stormwater runoff, as well as impacts to public services and utilities. The City
has reviewed this nonproject proposal and has found it to be generally consistent
with the range, types and magnitude of impacts and corresponding mitigation
outlined in the Comprehensive Plan EIS.

J
This analysis and subsequent addendum did not identify any new significant
impacts associated with this proposal. Therefore, this addendum, combined with
the Comprehensive Plan EIS adequately evaluates potential adverse
environmental impacts and provides appropriate mitigation. Based upon this
analysis, a separate threshold determination is not required for this action. This
document and corresponding environmental record may be utilized in the future
in conjunction with environmental review for future project -specific land use
proposals on the subject property in accordance with the guidelines provided by
WAC 197-11.

7. Existing conditions: Give a general description of the property and existing improvements,
size, topography, vegetation, soil, drainage, natural features, etc (if necessary, attach a
separate sheet).
West Hill:
• There are 21 affected privately held real properties. All but one is built out. The
landscape is generally flat. One property is a church, 20 are single-family homes, and
one parcel is vacant. Fifteen of the properties are located along Lake Fenwick Rd on
a relatively steep slope (to the east) and includes the one vacant parcel.
Valley Floor:
• North of the Green River Natural Resources Area (GRNRA) are three (3) affected
privately held real properties built out with warehouse like structures.
• South of the GRNRA and north of Meeker are nine (9) affected privately held real
properties. Three are built single-family homes, one is a dog kennel, three (3) are
warehouse structures, and two (2) are vacant and entirely containing wetlands.
■ South of Meeker are two (2) privately held real properties and three (3) held in public
ownership. One small private parcel is vacant and surrounded by W Meeker St,
Frager Rd, and the Green River. The other private property abuts the Green River and
is split by Frager Rd. Additionally the majority of this property is located within King
County's Lower Green River Agricultural District and is designated Rural. Presently it
is a plant nursery and landscape supply sales. The publicly held property contains a
pond (2 parcels) and is used recreationally, the other is preserved for agricultural
production and is presently growing nursery stock for ball & burlap resale. They all
abut the Green River off Frager Rd.
• The South Park area has two (2) vacant parcels privately owned and located in a
wooded area with no wetlands indicated on the City's inventory.
• East of the East Valley Hwy are six (6) privately owned properties, with one (1) that is
vacant and located at the base of Scenic Hill with no inventoried wetlands. There are
three (3) properties containing mobile home parks and two (2) containing
condominiums. There is a recreational trail easement adjacent to the Green River and
the private properties.
East Hill:
■ Near the southern end of Canyon Creek Park are properties in public ownership that
function as open space or recreational community parks. One parcel is located at the
top edge of the canyon the other is on the within a single-family neighborhood with
the majority containing a wetland and the upland area used as a small neighborhood
park.
■ Lake Meridian Park is fully developed and the affected parcel contains a portion of the
concession stand.

• Clark Lake has two (2) private properties with one single-family home located on the
larger parcel (2.85 acre) and neither contains wetlands based on Kent's inventory.
The publicly held property also contains no wetlands.
• Panther Lake PAA contains three (3) single-family homes (private ownership) and a
small portion of large parcel (approximately 7 acres) dedicated to wetlands
associated with Panther Lake. There are nine (9) affected privately held properties at
the NE tip of the PAA containing seven (7) single-family homes and two (2) vacant.
' The City of Kent has no inventory data for the environmentally sensitive areas. The
City's topography shows that all properties slope to the east towards Big Soos Creek.
' 8. Site Area City Wide
Site Dimensions. 23.6 acres in Public Property & 171.3 acres in Private Property
9. Project description Give a brief, complete description of the intended use of the property or
project including all proposed uses, days and hours of operation and the size of the project
and site (Attach site plans as described in the instructions).
' This is an area -wide revision to the Parks & Open Space designation of Kent's
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Land Use Map (Figure 4.7). The proposed update
reflects public land acquisition for park and open space uses, and historic mapping
' discrepancies, some of which are private properties with a Land Use Map designation of
Parks & Open Space. There are 65 private owned properties at approximately 171 acres and
nine (9) parcels at approximately 24 acres that are publicly owned. The majority of the
privately owned properties are built out with either single-family homes, mobile home parks,
' condominiums, warehouse/manufacturing, plants nursery and a church. The properties
added by the City of Kent through acquisition or by mapping discrepancies are vacant and
will be used as parks and/or open space.
There are nine (9) vacant parcels under private ownership that total approximately 7.4 acres.
Two (2) are not developable due to wetlands. The other parcels would yield approximately
' 12 dwelling units (du). The one private parcel (2.85 acres) that is large and could be
redevelopable would yield approximately nine (9) du, the largest single development
possible amongst the affected properties. The estimated development potential is based on
the allowed density of the underlying zoning districts.
10. Schedule Describe the timing or schedule (include phasing and construction dates, if
possible).
This is a non -project action. Any development associated with the change in
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation or rezone will be dependent on market
factors.

1 1. Earth
' a. General description of the site (circle one)- Flat, rolling, hilly, steep
slopes, mountainous, other
Generally, affected parcels located on West Hill are relatively flat with
'the exception of 15 parcels located on the slope facing Lake Fenwick.
The affected parcels located on the Valley Floor are flat The affected
parcels located on East Hill are generally flat to gently sloping lands.
b What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
A few of the sloped lands west of Lake Fenwick have portions of their
' sites with a 40% slope.
c What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay,
sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural
Isoils, specify them and note any prime farmland
None of the soils are prime farmland and most of the affected
properties and privately owned are built. The publicly owned lands are
'protected due to existing wetlands, located within protected open
space, or are built for recreational purposes. The 7.4 acres that is
vacant private property and considered developable will be assessed
for soil types at the time of development.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable sods in the
immediate vicinity? If so, describe
NA
e Describe the purpose, type and approximate quantities of any filling or
grading proposed. Indicate source of fill
This rezone and comprehensive plan land use map amendment is a
non -project action and specifics on grading and filling would be
detailed at the time a project was permitted. Kent's Surface Water
'Design Manual would influence filling or grading and the Critical Areas
Ordinance would protect any environmentally sensitive systems at the
time of development.
' f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use') If so,
generally describe
' This rezone and comprehensive plan land use map amendment is a
non -project action and specifics on potential erosion would be detailed
at the time a project was permitted. Using Kent's Construction
Standards and Best Management Practices (BMP), erosion controls
during any development phase would be controlled whether on the
valley floor, on slopes, or plateau. The Critical Areas Ordinance would

also protect any environmentally sensitive systems.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces
after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
The land unconstrained by environmentally sensitive areas (ESA) is
considered buildable. The development density was based on Kent's
City Code (KCC) Title 15 Zoning Code, and as applied to the buildable
acre (7.4 gross acres), would provide an additional nine (9) dwelling
units. One parcel is redevelopable and could yield as many as nine (9)
additional dwelling units. Future development will be required to meet
City Code requirements for impervious surface restrictions and surface
water management regulations.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the
earth, if any
This is a non -project action and only at the time of development, an
Excavation and Grading Permit would be issued under the authority of
the Uniform Building Code, Chapter 70. Any site -specific protection
measures would be conditions of the permit to ensure compliance with
BMP used by the City of Kent.
2. Air
a What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i e.,
dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and
when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give
approximate quantities if known
During any construction phase, dust from land clearing and grading
activities would occur. Using BMP administered through the
Excavation and Grading Permit, dust would be kept down with periodic
water truck suppression. Fumes from construction vehicles would be
limited to time of construction. Pollutants would increase from
vehicular traffic after completion of any proposed options. Any
development resulting from the zoning and land use changes will be
consistent with the existing Comprehensive Plan's EIS.
b Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your
proposal? If so, generally describe
This is a non -project action and only at the time of development, it is
speculated that there will be no off -site sources of emissions or odor
that may affect any of the possible development options.

1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of
' the site (including year-round and seasonal streams, salt water,
lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide
names If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into
This is a non -project action and only at the time of development will
this be addressed. However, the City's Critical Area Ordinance will
protect any surface water body located within or adjacent to the
developable parcels.
2) Will the project require any work over, in or adjacent to (within
' 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and
attach available plans
No, this is a non -project action.
3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be
placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate
the area of the site that would be affected Indicate the source of
fill material
It is not anticipated that any fill or dredge materials will be removed or
filled from wetlands. However, if needed, mitigation of impacts would
be accomplished as per Kent's Critical Areas Ordinance.
4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions?
Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities, if
known
No, such action is not anticipated.
5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplam? If so, note
location on the site plan.
No.
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to
surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated
volume of discharge
This is a non -project rezone and the proposed development associated
with the zoning would not discharge waste materials into surface
waters.

b. Ground:
1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to
ground water? Give general description, purpose, and
approximate quantities, if known
This is a non -project zoning and comprehensive land use map change
and it is anticipated that any proposed development associated with the
zoning would not withdraw or discharge to ground water because runoff
will be contained on site using wet vaults or storm water detention
ponds.
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground
from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example domestic
sewage, industrial, containing the following chemicals ,
agricultural, etc ) Describe the general size of the system, the
number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if
applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s)
are expected to serve
This is a non -project action, and the particulars associated with
development and the need for waste water disposal would be explored
at the time of application permit.
c. Water Runoff (including storm water):
1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method
of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known)
Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters?
If so, describe.
This is a non -project zoning and comprehensive land use map action.
Development associated with the amount of runoff would be dependent
on the actual density built would be based existing zoning district
regulations for site coverage. The City of Kent Construction Standards
regulates storm water. Depending on existing water table levels, wet
vaults or enhanced wetlands for storm water quality could be employed
to ensure storm water was not discharged directly into existing
stream/river systems.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters9 If so,
generally describe
This is a non -project action, however, it is anticipated that the
maximum capacity of single-family dwelling units would not result in
substantial waste materials entering ground or surface waters. Any
potential impacts would be mitigated through the implementation of

d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and
runoff water impacts, if any:
This is a non -project action, however, it is anticipated that runoff water
during construction and post construction phases would be addressed
through the City of Kent Construction BMPs. Wet vaults and storm
water detention ponds would be integrated to serve all built impervious
surfaces.

The lands affected by this study and located along the Green River are
generally all built. The exception is land south of West Meeker St. The
four (4) parcels are under private and public ownership. They are
proposed for a rezone from Medium Density Multifamily (MR-M) to SR-1
with a Land Use Map designation of Urban Separator, including the
existing Parks & Open Space designation. The existing uses on the
public lands are open space (i.e., fishing pond/storm water storage and
a woody plant production) and the private properties are an existing
nursery and a vacant triangular shaped parcel that is surrounded by
roads (ROW) on two sides and the river on the third. This is a non -
project action and any potential development would need to occur
within the context of applicable Kent City Codes including the
Shoreline Master Program).
6. Energy and Natural Resources
a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be
used to meet the completed project's energy needs? Descrnbb whether it
will be used for heating, manufacturing, etc
Electricity and natural gas are present and development would have the

properties? If so, generally describe
Any development would have, at a minimum, the potential to utilize
solar energy passively.
c
What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of
this proposal'? List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy
impacts, if any.
Any development would use the most current UBC Energy
Conservation Codes. The use of solar exposure for passive heat gain
could reduce the demand on energy consumption.
7. Environmental Health
a. Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic
chemicals, risk of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste, that could
occur as a result of this proposal? If so, describe
There are none known.
1 1) Describe special emergency services that might be required.
This is a non -project action, however, when development occurs
emergency services are available.
' 2) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health
hazards, if any
At the time of construction, all OSHA standards shall apply and upon
occupation of new homes, there should be no out of the ordinary
hazards.
jb Noise
1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your
project (for example traffic, equipment operation, other)?
This is a non -project action and only at the time of development will the
impacts be evaluated.
2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated
I with the project on a short-term or a long-term basis (for example
traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate what hours noise
would come from the site

construction is limited to permitted hours. Once the construction phase
is complete, all noise would be associated with normal activities in a low
density multifamily residential neighborhood.
3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any
As a non -project action, this does not apply. At the time of
development, details will be provided. However, UBC standards for
energy conservation affords some sound proofing.
8. Land and Shoreline Use
a What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties?
The properties considered to have development potential, whether
vacant and redevelopable, are surrounded by existing single-family
homes. The proposed land use map designations supports the existing
zoning designations which is typically single-family residential.
b Has the site been used for agriculture? If so, describe

project?
Generally, the proposed Land Use Map designation changes of privately
owned parcels reflect existing zoning. Because the capacity analysis
Ifor population and jobs is based on the Land Use Map the proposed
changes would add approximately 21 dwelling units or 58 persons and
no additional jobs. The mapping changes to Parks & Open Space would
reduce two (2) dwelling units and reduce the City's population by five (5)
and no change in the City's jobs. Using Kent's average household size
from the 2000 US Census was 2.75 persons/du.
t Approximately how many people would the completed project displace?
None.
k Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if any
None necessary.
I Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing
and projected land uses and plans, if any.
The private parcels are located within established uses based on zoning
district designations and the proposed land use map designation
changes would be compatible with the existing zoning. The one
exception is to change the MR-M to SR-1. These properties are
surrounded by the river and Kent's golf coarse to the east and SR-516
to the west. The compatible MR-M use is located to the west of SR-516.
1 9. Housing
a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicate
whether high, middle, or low income housing
Approximately 21 additional dwelling units would be allowed. The
economic diversity will be dependent on the type of development.
b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated? Indicate
whether high, middle, or low income housing
None.
Ic. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any.

Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in
conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the
types of activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a
greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented
Respond briefly and in general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water;
emission to air, production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous
substances, or production of noise?
The increase in impervious surface would be approximately 14%
1
(based on 3,000 sq. ft. per single-family dwelling unit and the gross
developable acres) far lower than the allowed 70% impervious for SR-6.
Adding 21 new dwelling units (du) will not appreciable increase
emissions to air, add greatly to toxic pollutants, or add to the noise of a
single-family neighborhood (with the exception of during the
construction phase).
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are
Development would use wet vaults or storm water detention ponds to
mitigate runoff; noise from construction would be subject to Kent's
Construction Standards and codes; and non -point source hazardous
runoff could be mitigated through the use of vegetated swales.
2 How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine
life?
'
Where applicable, the addition of 21 du would be regulated by the
Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO), potentially enhancing wetland (and
habitat) or creating water quality detention ponds would occur.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or
marine life?
The majority of the proposed changes would affect existing developed
properties. The 7.4 acres of vacant lands with development potential
would be protected by the city's CAO that preserves existing wetlands
and ensures that habitat will be maintained. This action also proposed
to reduce MR-M to SR-1 there by reducing the impacts on existing
wildlife.
19
I
City of Kent Planning Services
Environmental Checklist — Page 20
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
1 The increase density of 21 dwelling units would increase demand on
energy and natural resources.
>� Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources
are.
The UBC construction standards require energy conservation. Public
education would maintain awareness of individual use of energy.
4 How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally
sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for
governmental protection, such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic
rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural
sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
Although a non -project action, development would use the CAO to
protect environmentally sensitive areas.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce
impacts are.
All open space created through the protection of wetlands during the
Idevelopment phase, would have restrictive covenants to ensure no
additional human intervention.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use,
including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses
incompatible with existing plans?_ .
There is little new impact on shorelines in Kent that has not been
considered within the existing Comprehensive Plan.
I
NA
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts
are
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation
or public services and utilities?
The proposal would increase the residential density to 21 additional
units based on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designations,
but no change to the zoning that would actually change the allowed
density. Where MR-M is proposed to change to a SR-1 zoning district
would not change the ultimate uses due to the actual size of the
parcels. Little to no development is anticipated to occur on these

parcels located adjacent to the Green River, therefore no change is
anticipated to transportation or public services and utilities.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are -
i
The increase in trips associated with the development of 21 additional
du would be absorbed into the transportation demand. Mitigation
measures and long term transportation improvements identified in the
Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan as well as the Six -
Year Transportation Improvement Plan will address this extremely slight
increase in trips.
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or
federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment
None is known.

The second was initiated by the Lake Meridian Community Association requesting the
Zoning District and Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designations around Lake Meridian
be lowered to SR-3 and SF-3 in an effort to reduce the impacts of future development on
water quality and high water episodes (Docket 2006-3). These docket items were combined
into one amendment because some of the properties with mismatched Zoning District and
Land Use Map designations were located within the Lake Meridian sub -basin. The majority
of mismatched designations are SR-4.5/SF-6 (i.e., 3,826 parcels), followed by SR-6/SF-8 (i.e.,
175 parcels) and SR-4.5/SF-8 (i.e., 135 parcels). There are also 18 parcels with split
designations or mapping discrepancies. There are properties with matching designations of
SR-6/SF-6 and located within the Lake Meridian sub -basin that are also being considered
(i.e., 338 parcels).
The following are five (5) options for changing the Zoning District and Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map designations. The specific changes are presented by geographic area.

Option 1 (see Attachment F in the LUPB Staff Report dated 3/26/07): Generally this
option proposes no change to existing Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation for
single-family residential and proposes changing the existing Zoning District map
designations up to the existing Comprehensive Plan Land Use map designation, with the
exception of mapping anomalies that were discovered. The following are the general
changes as well as changes to identified mapping anomalies. The anomalies are site
specific and apply to all other options.
West Hill:
■ There are 154 parcels totaling 157.2 acres that would change Zoning District from SR-
4.5 to SR-6 with no change to the existing Land Use Map designation of SF-6. The
primary existing uses are single-family residences, a school and vacant land.
• North of S 231" Way and east of Military Road South are four (4) parcels that total 0.91
acre and are zoned SR-6 with a Land Use Map designation of Commercial. The
proposal is to maintain the SR-6 Zoning District and change the Land Use Map
designation to SF-6. This is a housekeeping map change.
• North of S 272"d St and west of Lake Fenwick Rd is parcel 1402450000 totaling 4.5
acres and developed as a condominium (Carriage Row Condominium). The parcel is
zoned SR-6 with a Land Use Map designation of Low Density Multifamily (LDMF).
This is a housekeeping map amendment that would change the existing Zoning
District from SR-6 to Low Density Multifamily (MR-G) which is supported by the
existing Land Use Map designation of LDMF.
Valley:
• The only affected parcel (5436200041) is a 0.23 acre that is located at the NE corner of
68`" Ave S and W Morton St and has an existing split zone of SR-6 and Industrial Park
,
(M1) and a split Land Use Map designation of Mixed -use (MU) and Industrial (1).
Adjacent Zoning District is M1 and Land Use Map designation is Industrial with
existing industrial uses. The Zoning District on all surrounding corners is GC -MU
'
with a Land Use Map designation of MU. This is a housekeeping map change that
would make the Zoning District and Land Use Map designations consistent across
the parcel by assigning an M1 Zoning District supported by an Industrial Land Use
Map designation across the entire parcel.
North East Hill:
■ There are 304 parcels totaling 160.5 acres that would change Zoning District from SR-
4.5 to SR-6 with no change to the existing Land Use Map designation of SF-6. The
primary existing uses are single-family residences with some institutional uses and
vacantland.
■ There are an additional 135 parcels totaling 65.7 acres that would change Zoning
District from SR-4.5 to SR-8 with no change to the existing Land Use Map designation
of SF-8. The primary existing uses are single-family residences with some
institutional uses and vacant land.
■ There are 175 parcels totaling 30.3acres that would change the Zoning District from
SR-6 to SR-8 with no change to the existing Land Use Map designation of SF-8. The
primary existing uses are single-family residences with some institutional uses and
vacant land.
■ The parcel 8802400130 is 2.6 acres located west of 100"' Ave SE and north of S 2201h
PI and is presently zoned SR-6 with a Land Use Map designation of SF-4.5. It is
located on the Middle Fork of Garrison Creek. Over half of the land consists of steep
slopes (> 45%) and creek. It is believed that the Land Use Map designation of SF-4.5
6 =

City of Kent Planning Services
Environmental Checklist — Page 7
was assigned in recognition of the environmentally sensitive nature of the parcel.
The proposed action is to lower the Zoning District from SR-6 to SR-4.5 to match the
existing Land Use Map designation of SF-4.5. This is a housing keeping map change.
• The parcel 1722059014 is 0.96 acre located west of 104`h Ave SE and north of SE 2361h
St. The existing Zoning District is Office (0) with a Land Use Map designation of SF-
6. The parcel contains a church. The adjacent Zoning District and uses to the north
and west are multifamily. The Zoning District to the south is CC -MU. Across the
street in Kent's PAA is single-family residential uses supported by equivalent Zoning
District. The proposal is a housekeeping map change that would make the Zoning
District SR-6 and not change the existing Land Use Map designation of SF-6.
■ The parcel 1922059171 is 0.43 acre, located east of Summit Ave N and north of N
Smith St, and has a single-family residence located on the parcel. The existing
Zoning District is SR-6 with a Land Use Map designation of Medium Density
Multifamily (MDMF). The surrounding Zoning District and existing uses to the south
and east are multifamily. The surrounding Zoning District and existing uses to the
north and west are single-family. The proposed housekeeping change would
maintain the existing Zoning District SR-6 and change the MDMF Land Use Map
designation to SF-6.
South East Hill:
• There are 1,135 parcels totaling 352.4 acres that would change Zoning District from
SR-4.5 to SR-6 with no change to the existing Land Use Map designation of SF-6. The
primary existing uses are single-family residences and some institutional and vacant
land.
■ The parcel 22059022 is 4.7 acres and is located north of SE 2561h St and east of Mtn
Ave SE. The Zoning District and Land Use Map designations are split with a SR-4.5
and MR-M Zoning District and a SF-6 and MDMF Land Use Map designation, but the
entire parcel's use is multifamily. This is a housekeeping change to make the entire
parcel MR-M Zoning District and MDMF Land Use Map designation.
■ There are seven (7) parcels consisting of 18.5 acres and located off 971h Ave S and
south of S 262"d Pl. The Zoning District and Land Use Map designation is split with a
SR-4.5 and SR-1 Zoning District and a SF-4.5 and Urban Separator (US) Land Use Map
designation. The surrounding Zoning District to the north and east is SR-6 and SR-
4.5 respectively and to the south and east is SR-1 supported by Urban Separator Land
Use Map designation. The split is a remnant of past decisions to limit the Zoning
District on the steep slopes located on the west side of the properties (> 45%). Four
(4) of the seven properties are approximately 70' wide and two (2) of the four are built
with single-family homes that stretch across nearly the entire width of the land. The
other three (3) parcels average around 4.0 acres each. One parcel is very constrained
by steep slopes and is built with a very large residence. The other two (2) have the
land to subdivide, but constraints on buildable area based on the CAO make the
number of building sites limited. The proposed Zoning District of SR-1 with a Land
Use Map designation of Urban Separator over the entire area would reflect the fragile
nature of the land and its capacity for development.
■ The parcel 2022059090 is 0.48 acre with an existing single-family use and is located
south of SE 2481h St and east of 1091h Ave SE. The Zoning District is SR-6 with a Land
Use Map designation of LDMF. The adjacent Zoning District is MR-G with associated
uses. This is a housekeeping change to make the Zoning District MRT-12 with no
change to the existing LDMF Land Use Map designation.
Lake Meridian:

■ There are 2,232 parcels totaling 974 acres that would change the Zoning District from
SR-4.5 to SR-6 with no change to the existing SF-6 Land Use Map designation. The
affected parcels are located north of the lake, east of 120th Ave SE and south of SE
233rd St. The primary existing uses are single-family residences and some
institutional and vacant land. There would be no change to parcels with a matching
single-family Zoning District and Land Use Map designations.
■ There are no anomalies.
Option 2 (see Attachment G in the LUP13 Staff Report dated 3126107): Where there are
mismatched single-family Zoning District and Land Use Map designations, this option
generally proposes to maintain the SR-4.5 Zoning District map designation of all affected
parcels and to change the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation to SF-4.5, with
the exception of areas with a Zoning District of SR-6 and a Land Use Map designation of SF-
8 which would change Zoning District to SR-4.5 and Land Use Map designation to SF-4.5.
The other exceptions are the mapping anomalies described in Option 1 which remain the
same in this option.
West Hill:
■ There are 154 parcels totaling 157.2 acres where there would be no change to the
existing Zoning District of SR-4.5 but would change the existing Land Use Map
designation of SF-6 to SF-4.5. The affected parcels are located south of SR-516 and
north of S 272"d St. The primary existing uses are single-family residences, a school
and vacant land.
Valley:
• There is no change from Option 1.
North East Hill:
• There are 304 parcels totaling 160.5 acres that would not change the existing Zoning
District of SR-4.5 but would change the existing Land Use Map designation of SF-6 to
SF-4.5. The parcel locations stretch from S 202"d St south to SE 248th St. The primary
existing uses are single-family residences with some institutional uses and vacant
land.
• There are an additional 135 parcels totaling 65.7 acres that would not change the
existing Zoning District of SR-4.5 but would change the existing Land Use Map
designation from SF-8 to SF-4.5. The affected parcels are located between S 240th St
and SE 248th St and N Summit Ave and 104th Ave SE. The primary existing uses are
single-family residences with a nursing home and some vacant land.
■ There are 175 parcels totaling 30.3 acres that would not change the existing Zoning
District of SR-6 and would change the existing Land Use Map designation from SF-8
to SF-6. The affected parcels are located between S 2401h St and SE 2481h St and N
Summit Ave and 104th Ave SE. The primary existing uses are single-family
residences with some institutional uses and vacant land.
South East Hill:
■ There are 1,135 parcels totaling 352.3 acres that would not change the existing
Zoning District of SR-4.5 but would change the existing Land Use Map designation of
SF-6 to SF-4.5. The affected parcels stretch from SE 2481h ST to SE 282"d St and 96th
Ave S and 132"d Ave SE. The primary existing uses are single-family residences with
some institutional uses and vacant land.
Lake Meridian:

District of SR-4.5 but would change the existing Land Use Map designation of SF-6 to
SF-4.5 The affected parcels are located north of the lake, east of 120th Ave SE and
south of SE 233`d St The primary existing uses are single-family residences and some
institutional uses and vacant land. There would be no change to parcels with
matching single-family Zoning District and Land Use Map designations.
Option 3 (see Attachment H in the LUPB Staff Report dated 3/26/07): This option is the
same as Option 2, with the exception of the Lake Meridian area. This option generally lowers
the existing Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation to reflect the existing Zoning
District map designation as proposed in Option 2. However, Option 3 lowers density of both
Zoning District and Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designations of parcels that are
located within the Lake Meridian sub-basin.2 This option reflects Docket 2006-3 which
requests lowering the Zoning District and Land Use Map designations to SR-3/SF-3. All
mapping anomalies described in Option 1 remain the same in this option.
West Hill:
• This option is the same as Option 2.
Valley:
• This option is the same as Option 1.
North East Hill:
• This option is the same as Option 2.
South East Hill:
• This option is the same as Option 2.
Lake Meridian:
■ There are 1,695 parcels totaling 687 acres where there would be no change to the
existing Zoning District of SR-4.5 but would change the existing Land Use Map
designation of SF-6 to SF-4.5. The affected parcels are located north outside the Lake
Meridian sub -basin and generally east of 120th Ave SE and south of SE 233'd St. The
primary existing uses are single-family residences with some institutional uses,
vacant land and a private golf course.
■ There are 537 parcels totaling 287 acres that would change the existing Zoning
District from SR-4.5 to SR-3 and change the Land Use Map designation from SF-6 to
SF-3. The affected parcels are located inside the Lake Meridian sub -basin and
generally north of the northern lake shore, north of the Pink Thunderbird Mobile
Home Park and north of SE 256th St. The primary existing uses are single-family
residences, two (2) condominium complexes (total of 97 du) and some institutional
uses and vacant land.
• There are 338 parcels totaling 124.4 acres that would change the existing Zoning
District from SR-6 to SR-3 and change the Land Use Map designation from SF-6 to SF-
3. The affected parcels are located inside the Lake Meridian sub -basin and generally
extend south of the southern lake shore, south of the Pink Thunderbird Mobile Home
Park and south of SE 256th St. The primary existing uses are single-family residences
with one (1) condominium complex (total of 45 du) and some institutional uses and
vacant land.
Option 4 (see Attachment I in the LUPB Staff Report dated 3/26/07): This option is the
same as Option 2, with the exception of the Lake Meridian area. This option generally lowers

the existing Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation to reflect the existing Zoning
District map designation as proposed in Option 2. However, Option 4 lowers density of both
Zoning District and Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designations of parcels that are
located within the Lake Meridian sub -basin using the same criteria outlined in Option 3. This
option lowers the Zoning District to SR-1 and the Land Use Map designation to Urban
Separator. All mapping anomalies described in Option 1 remain the same in this option.
West Hill:
• This option is the same as Option 2.
Valley:
■ This option is the same as Option 1.
North East Hill:
• This option is the same as Option 2.
South East Hill:
■ This option is the same as Option 2.
Lake Meridian:
• There are 1,695 parcels totaling 687 acres where there would be no change to the
existing Zoning District of SR-4.5 but would change the existing Land Use Map
designation of SF-6 to SF-4.5. The affected parcels are located north outside the Lake
Meridian sub -basin and generally east of 120th Ave SE and south of SE 233'd St. The
primary existing uses are single-family residences with some institutional uses,
vacant land and a private golf course.
• There are 537 parcels totaling 287 acres that would change the existing Zoning
District from SR-4.5 to SR-1 and change the Land Use Map designation from SF-6 to
Urban Separator. The affected parcels are located inside the Lake Meridian sub -basin
and generally north of the northern lake shore, north of the Pink Thunderbird Mobile
Home Park and north of SE 256tt' St. The primary existing uses are single-family
residences, two (2) condominium complexes (total of 97 du) and some institutional
uses and vacant land.
■ There are 338 parcels totaling 124.4 acres that would change the existing Zoning
District from SR-6 to SR-1 and change the Land Use Map designation from SF-6 to
Urban Separator. The affected parcels are located inside the Lake Meridian sub -basin
and generally extend south of the southern lake shore, south of the Pink Thunderbird
Mobile Home Park and south of SE 256th St. The primary existing uses are single-
family residences with one (1) condominium complex (total of 45 du) and some
institutional uses and vacant land.
Option 5 (Staff Recommendation)
(see Attachment J in the LUPB Staff Report dated 3/26/07): This option proposes
Zoning District and Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map changes that are founded on the
City's Zoning Code criteria for rezones and Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendments
, Countywide Planning Policies and the GMA goals and policies (see Attachment B - Staff
Report). The recommendation reflects a review of environmental constraints (i.e., presence
or absence of significant environmentally sensitive conditions), surrounding character of
existing uses (i.e., existing lot sizes, existing road system and proposed improvements to
the road system), and research conducted on the impacts of development on lakes. The
proposed Zoning District and Land Use Map designation options vary throughout the
geographic study areas. All mapping anomalies described in Option 1 remain the same in
this option.

West Hill:
• There are 81 parcels totaling 26.7 acres that would change Zoning District from SR-
4.5 to SR-6 with no change to the Land Use Map designation of SF-6. The proposal in
this area is considered a housekeeping map change because the properties are
generally small residential lots that do not have the capacity for redevelopment. The
affected parcels are located in a cluster off 36th Ave S and S 241" St and a second
cluster south of S 2681h St. The existing uses are primarily single-family residential
with some institutional uses and vacant land.
■ There are 15 parcels totaling 78.2 acres which would have the existing Zoning District
change from SR-4.5 to SR-1 and the existing Land Use Map designation change from
SF-6 to Urban Separator. The location is north of S 272"d St and east of Pacific Hwy
South and the dominate Land Use Map designation is vacant land containing wooded
wetlands that function as the headwaters of McSorley Creek. The designation of
I Urban Separator would provide additional protection for this sensitive wildlife habitat,
create an open space corridor with a visual separation between Federal Way and
Kent, and cluster future development to further protect the sensitive nature of the
1 landscape.
• There are 47 parcels totaling 37.8 acres which would have the existing Zoning District
change from SR-4.5 to SR-6 and the existing Land Use Map designation of SF-6 would
not change. The affected parcels are located west of 1-5 and north of S 272"d St. They
are outside the wooded wetland.
■ There is one (1) parcel totaling 0.88 acre that would change Zoning District from SR-
4.5 to General Commercial (GC) and change the Land Use Map designation from SF-6
to Commercial. The parcel is land -locked and abuts GC Zoning District to the west
and an MR-M multifamily use to the south. This vacant parcel is able to be
aggregated with adjacent parcels, adding to the viability of a commercial
development.
There are seven (7) parcels totaling 12.4 acres which would have the existing Zoning
District change from SR-4.5 to MRT-16 and the Land Use Map designation change
from SF-6 to Low Density Multifamily (LDMF). They are located north of S 272"d St
and west of 1-5 and surround an existing multifamily development (zoned MR-M). The
wetlands influence some of the parcels. However, the proposed Zoning District and
Land Use Map designations would provide the tool for aggregating the land and
building a viable development. The higher density supports the tenets of 'Smart
Growth' which is to place higher density residential development near mass transit
I and commercial. To that end, this land is located within a short walking distance to a
Park n Ride (located east — with the furthest distance being 114 mile) and about a 113'd
mile to a shopping center (located west). Three (3) parcels have existing single-family
residences that are deemed redevelopable and the others are vacant.
■ There are three (3) parcels totaling 1.4 acres which would have the existing Zoning
District change from SR-4.5 to MRT-16 and the Land Use Map designation change
from SF-6 to Low Density Multifamily (LDMF). They are located south of S 260th St
and just off Pacific Hwy South to the east. The surrounding use to the west is a large
shopping center and to the north are multifamily and mobile park residences. The
higher density supports the tenets of 'Smart Growth' which is to place higher density
residential development near mass transit and commercial. To that end, these
affected parcels are located within a short walking distance to a shopping center and
transit (located west). The wetlands influence a portion of one parcel and have no
influence on the other two. There is one existing single-family residence and the
1 11
City of Kent Planning Services
Environmental Checklist — Page 12
remaining parcels are vacant.
• There are four (4) parcels north of SR-516 and off Military Rd. that total 0.91 acre with
a Zoning District designation of SR-6 and a Land Use Map designation of Commercial.
The parcels are generally 60 feet wide, limiting development options without
bundling the land with adjacent properties. The proposal is to change this mapping
anomaly so that the Land Use Map designation matches the Zoning District. The
existing Land Use Map designation would change from Commercial to SF-6 with no
change to the existing Zoning District of SR-6. At the time redevelopment
opportunities arise, property owners may find support for a Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map and Zoning District amendment. This is considered a housekeeping
map anomaly and is also discussed in Option 1.
• Parcel 1402450000 located off S 272"d St is 4.5 acres and contains a condominium
(Carriage Row Condominium). The parcel has a Zoning District of SR-6 and has a
Land Use Map designation of Low Density Multifamily (LDMF). This housekeeping
map amendment for a mapping anomaly (which was also considered in Option 1)
would change the existing Zoning District from SR-6 to Low Density Multifamily (MR-
G) and would not change the existing Land Use Map designation of LDMF.
Valley:
• This option is the same as Option 1.
North East Hill:
■ There are 252 parcels totaling 123 7 acres that would change the existing Zoning
District of SR-4.5 to SR-6 with no change to the existing Land Use Map designation of
SF-6. The parcel locations stretch from S 202"d St south to SE 2401h St. The primary
existing uses are single-family residences with some institutional uses and vacant
land.
■ There are 52 parcels totaling 36.7 acres that would not change the existing Zoning
District of SR-4.5 but would change the existing Land Use Map designation from SF-6
to SF-4.5. The parcel locations stretch from S 2251h PI south to SE 236'h St. The
primary existing uses are single-family residences with some vacant land.
■ There are 135 parcels totaling 65.7 acres that would change from the existing Zoning
District of SR-4.5 to SR-8 with no change to the existing Land Use Map designation of
SF-8. The affected parcels are located between S 2401h St and SE 248'h St and N
Summit Ave and 100th Ave SE. The primary existing uses are single-family
residences with some vacant land.
■ There are 175 parcels totaling 30.3 acres that would change from the existing Zoning
District of SR-6 to SR-8 with no change to the existing SF-8 Land Use Map
designation. The affected parcels are located between S 242"d St and SE 248th St and
96th Ave S and 104th Ave SE. The primary existing uses are single-family residences
and some vacant land.
South East Hill:
• There are 1,009 parcels totaling 268.2 acres that would change the existing Zoning
District of SR-4.5 to SR-6 with no change to the existing Land Use Map designation of
SF-6. The parcel locations stretch from SE 2515' St to SE 282"d St and 109t' Ave SE
and 132"d Ave SE. The primary existing uses are single-family residences with some
institutional uses and vacant land.
• There are 126 parcels totaling 84.1 acres that would not change the existing Zoning
District of SR-4.5 but would change the existing Land Use Map designation of SF-6 to
SF-4.5. The affected parcels are located between SR516 and SE 272"d St and 204'h
Ave SE and the valley bottom. The primary existing uses are single-family residences

with some vacant land.
Lake Meridian:
■ There are 537 parcels totaling 287 acres that would not change the existing Zoning
District of SR-4.5 but would change the Land Use Map designation from SF-6 to SF-
4.5. The affected parcels are located inside the Lake Meridian sub -basin and
generally north of the northern lake shore, north of the Pink Thunderbird Mobile
Home Park and north of SE 256th St. The primary existing uses are single-family
residences with two (2) condominium complexes (total of 62 du) and some
institutional uses and vacant land.
• There are 338 parcels totaling 124.4 acres that would change the existing Zoning
District from SR-6 to SR-4.5 and change the Land Use Map designation from SF-6 to
SF-4.5. The affected parcels are located inside the Lake Meridian sub -basin and
generally extend south of the southern lake shore, south of the Pink Thunderbird
Mobile Home Park and south of SE 256th St. The primary existing uses are single-
family residences with one (1) condominium complex (total of 55 du) and some
institutional uses and vacant land.
■ There are 1,695 parcels totaling 687 acres that would not change the existing Zoning
District of SR-4.5 but would change the Land Use Map designation from SF-6 to SF-
4.5. The affected parcels are located north and outside of the Lake Meridian sub -
basin and generally east of 120th Ave SE and south of SE 233`d St. The primary
existing uses are single-family residences with some institutional uses, vacant land
and a private golf course.

EVALUATION FOR
AGENCY USE ONLY
a. General description of the site (circle one) Flat, rolling, hilly, steep
slopes, mountainous, other
The following addresses each geographic area separately:
West Hill.
• Generally the affected parcels are located on a relatively flat
landscape, dominated by single-family residential uses with
associated gardens. The exception is the southwest portion of
affected parcels. The main landscape feature there is a wooded
wetland approximately 114 acres in size. The wetlands are the
headwaters for McSorley Creek which runs west into Puget
Sound.
Valley Floor:
• The landscape is the flat valley floor of the Green River and is
generally surrounded by commercial and industrial development.
North East Hill:
• The land forms for this area vary. Some of the affected parcels
are located on the slopes of East Hill; however, none have a >45%
slope (with the exception of parcels located on Garrison Creek).
The remaining land form is gently rolling land with creeks and
some scattered small wetlands. The landscape is dominated by
single-family homes and their associated gardens.
South East Hill:
• Generally, the landscape is gently rolling with creeks and some
scattered small wetlands. There are some affected parcels
located on the steep slope (>45%) of the East Hill plateau
overlooking the Green River Valley. There are also parcels
located along Upper Miller Creek and the associated ravine. The
landscape is dominated by single-family homes and their
associated gardens.
Lake Meridian:
• This area varies from a gently rolling landscape with creeks and
occasional wetlands to a more exaggerated slope that drops into
Lake Meridian. This area is dominated by single-family
residences and the gardens typical of the use.
b What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)
There are a few parcels affected by steep slopes (>45%) in the North
and South East Hill areas. They are illustrated in Attachment F in the
LUBP staff report dated 3126107.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay,
sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural
soils, specify them and note any prime farmland
None of the soils are prime farmland and most of the affected

gross acres that are vacant private property and at the time of
development the specific sod types will be addressed.
d Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the
immediate vicinity? If so, describe
Garrison Creek (in North East Hill study area) runs within a steep
sloped ravine that is identified in the CAO GIS map layer as containing
land slide soils. One parcel (8802400130) located on the edge of the
ravine may contain land slide soils. Additional assessment would be
required at the time of development.
e Describe the purpose, type and approximate quantities of any filling or
grading proposed Indicate source of fill
This Comprehensive Plan Zoning District and Land Use Map
amendment is a non -project action and specifics on grading and filling
would be detailed at the time a project is permitted. Kent's Surface
Water Design Manual would influence filling or grading and the Critical
Areas Ordinance (CAO) and Shoreline Master Program would protect
any environmentally sensitive systems at the time of development.
Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? if so,
generally describe
This Comprehensive Plan Zoning District and Land Use Map
amendment is a non -project action and specifics on potential erosion
would be detailed at the time a project was permitted. Using Kent's
Construction Standards and Best Management Practices (BMP),
erosion controls during any development phase would be controlled
whether on the valley floor, on slopes, or plateau. The Critical Areas
Ordinance and Shoreline Master Program would also protect any
environmentally sensitive systems.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces
after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
This Comprehensive Plan Zoning District and Land Use Map
amendment is a non -project action and specifics on site coverage for
impervious surfaces will be based on the density of development. The
land unconstrained by environmentally sensitive areas as defined in
the CAO is considered buildable and development density is based on
Kent's City Code (KCC) Title 15 Zoning Code. Future development will
be required to meet City Code requirements for impervious surface
restrictions and surface water management regulations.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the
earth, if any
16
I
City of Kent Planning Services
Environmental Checklist —Page 17
This is a non -project action and at the time of development, an
Excavation and Grading Permit would be issued under the authority of
the International Codes. Any site -specific protection measures would
be conditions of the permit to ensure compliance with BMPs used by
the City of Kent.
2. Air
a What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i e ,
dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and
when the protect is completed? If any, generally describe and give
approximate quantities if known.
During any construction phase, dust from land clearing and grading
activities would occur. Using BMPs administered through the
Excavation and Grading Permit, dust would be kept down with periodic
water truck suppression. Fumes from construction vehicles would be
limited to time of construction. Pollutants would increase from
vehicular traffic after completion of any proposed options. The Zoning
District and Land Use Map designation changes under Options 2 — 5
would lower the number of dwelling units allowed to be built and under
Option 1 there would be no change from the existing Land Use Map
designations.
b. Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your
proposal? If so, generally describe
This is a non -project action. Future development would be primarily
single-family and some multifamily residential all of which would be
lower in density (with the exception of Option 1 which is no change).
Lower density designations would lower overall emissions generated
by typical single-family development.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to
air, if any
NA
3. Water
a. Surface:
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of
the site (including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater,
lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide
names If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into
1 This is a non -project action and only at the time of development would
impacts to surface water bodies be addressed. However, the City's
Critical Area Ordinance (CAO) would protect any surface water body

located within or adjacent to the developable parcels. Lake Meridian is
also protected by the CAO as well as the Shoreline Master Program
(SMP), and flows into Big Soos Creek which flows eventually into the
Green River and Puget Sound.
2) Will the project require any work over, in or adjacent to (within
200 feet) the described waters? if yes, please describe and
attach available plans
No, this is a non -project action.
3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be
placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate
the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of
fill material.
It is not anticipated that any fill or dredge materials would be removed
or filled from wetlands. However, if unavoidable impacts are
determined at the time of development, mitigation of those impacts
would be accomplished as per Kent's Critical Areas Ordinance and
Shoreline Master Program.
4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions?
Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities, if
known
No, such action is not anticipated when development of single-family
residential occurs.
5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain? If so, note
location on the site plan
No.
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to
surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated
volume of discharge
This Comprehensive Plan Zoning District and Land Use Map
amendment is a non -project action. Any anticipated development
associated with construction of single-family residences would not
discharge waste materials into surface waters.
b. Ground:
1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to
ground water? Give general description, purpose, and
approximate quantities, if known
i
This non -project Comprehensive Plan Zoning District and Land Use Map
amendment and any proposed development associated with the
amendment would not withdraw or discharge to ground water. Runoff

1 would typically be contained on site using wet vaults or storm water
detention ponds.
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground
from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example domestic
sewage, industrial, containing the following chemicals . ;
agricultural, etc ) Describe the general size of the system, the
number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if
applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s)
are expected to serve
This is a non -project action, and the particulars associated with
development and the need for waste water disposal would be explored
1 at the time of application permit. All areas are served by sewer and
hookup to the system is required for new development.
c. Water Runoff (including storm water):
1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method
of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known).
Where will this water flow? W01 this water flow into other waters?
If so, describe
This is a non -project Comprehensive Plan Zoning District and Land Use
Map amendment. Runoff would be based on Zoning District district
regulations for site coverage. The City of Kent Construction Standards
regulate storm water. Depending on existing water table levels, wet
vaults or enhanced wetlands for storm water quality could be employed
to ensure storm water was not discharged directly into existing
stream/riverllake systems. With the exception of Option 1 with no
change, all other options reduce the total household capacity.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so,
generally describe
This is a non -project action, and with the exception of Option 1 where
there is no change, all other options reduce the total household
capacity. Therefore, development resulting from the Zoning District
and Land Use Map designation changes would be consistent with the
existing Comprehensive Plan's EIS. Any potential impacts would be
mitigated through the implementation of Kent's Surface Water Design
regulations.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and
runoff water impacts, if any:
This is a non -project action, and with the exception of Option 1 where
there is no change, all other options reduce the total household
capacity. Therefore, development resulting from the Zoning District

and Land Use Map designation changes would be consistent with the
existing Comprehensive Plan's EIS. However, it is anticipated that
runoff water during construction and post construction phases would
be addressed through the City of Kent Construction BMPs. Wet vaults
and storm water detention ponds would be integrated to serve all built
impervious surfaces.

c. Is the site part of a migration route? If so, explain
NA — This is a non -project action.
d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any:
The majority of the landscape is built with single-family homes,
institutional uses, and some recreational parks. There are, however,
affected parcels that have been identified as containing
environmentally sensitive areas. Option 5 (Staff Recommendation)
proposes lowering the Zoning District to SR-1 and the Land Use Map
1 designation to Urban Separator (from SR-4.51SF-6) in an extremely
sensitive area. Within Lake Meridian's sub -basin, Option 3 through 5
propose to reduce the Zoning District and Land Use Map designations,
providing the potential for larger backyards that could add to wildlife
habitat. Additionally, Option 2 also decreases density within a portion
of the Lake Meridian sub -basin. Ultimately, this is a non -project action
and any potential development would need to occur within the context
of applicable Kent City Codes including the Shoreline Master Program.
6. Energy and Natural Resources
1 a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be
used to meet the completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it
will be used for heating, manufacturing, etc.
Electricity and natural gas are present and development would have the
opportunity to utilize the electricity, with natural gas availability
dependent on density of surrounding development.
b Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent
properties? If so, generally describe
Any development would have, at a minimum, the potential to utilize
solar energy as passive or as an active energy source.

c. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of
this proposal? List other proposed measures to reduce or control energy
impacts, if any
Any development would use the most current Washington State Energy
Code. The use of solar exposure for passive or active heat gain could
reduce the demand on energy consumption.
7. Environmental Health
a Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic
chemicals, risk of fire and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste, that could
occur as a result of this proposals If so, describe
There are none known.
!
1) Describe special emergency services that might be required
This is a non -protect action and all options, with the exception of Option
1, would reduce total household capacity. However, when development
occurs, emergency services are available.
2) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health
hazards, if any
At the time of construction, all OSHA standards shall apply. Upon
occupation of new homes, there should be no out of the ordinary
hazards.
b. Noise
1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your
protect (for example traffic, equipment operation, other)?
This is a non -project action and only at the time of development would
the impacts be evaluated.
2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated
with the project on a short-term or a long-term basis (for example
traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate what hours noise
would come from the site
During construction, noise from heavy grading equipment, truck
delivery of building materials, construction tools, and other associated
noise is anticipated. Kent's City Codes would ensure that construction
is limited to permitted hours. Once the construction phase is complete,
all noise would be associated with normal activities in a single-family or
low density multifamily residential neighborhood.

City of Kent Planning Services
Environmental Checklist — Page 23
3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any.
As a non -project action, this does not apply. At the time of
development, details would be provided. However, Washington State
Energy Codes for energy conservation affords some sound proofing.
8. Land and Shoreline Use
1 a What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties?
The properties considered to have development potential, whether
vacant and redevelopable, are surrounded by existing single-family
homes. The proposed Land Use Map designations support the existing
Zoning District designations which are typically single-family residential
and proposed Options 2 — 5 would be reducing the amount of
development. Option 5 does propose some areas for medium density
multifamily uses (i.e., MRT-16). They are located adjacent to or near
similar uses and other services (i.e., commercial, bus routes, or mass
transit).
b. Has the site been used for agriculture? If so, describe
Historically, the entire Green/Duwamish River Valley and portions of
East Hill were used for agricultural purposes
c Describe any structures on the site
Refer to existing conditions section.
d. Will any structures be demolished? If so, what?
NA
e. What is the current zoning classification of the site?
See Attachments B of the LUPB staff report dated 3/26/07.
f What is the current comprehensive plan designation of the site?
See Attachments B of the LUPB staff report dated 3/26107.
' g. If applicable, what is the current shoreline master program designation of
the site?
Lake Meridian is considered a "shoreline of the state".
h. Has any part of the site been classified as an "environmentally sensitive"
area? If so, specify
The proposal is a non -project action. Any environmentally sensitive
areas would be delineated at the time of the permitting process.

Approximately how many people would the completed project displace?
None.
k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if any:
None necessary.
Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing
and projected land uses and plans, if any.
The affected parcels are primarily located within established single-
family residential neighborhoods. The proposed changes to Zoning
District or Land Use Map designations reflect either the existing Land
Use Map designations (Option 1), existing Zoning District designations
(Option 2), changes based on the Lake Meridian Community Association
Docket 2006-3 (Option 3), or with applied SR-1/Urban Separator (Option
4), or based on existing Zoning District and Land Use Map designations,
existing uses and environmental constraints surrounding the affected
parcels (Option 5).
9. Housing
a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any) Indicate
whether high, middle, or low income housing.
The housing options for a wide range of economic diversity would be
dependent on the type of development. While households would be
added, the total number would be reduced in four (4) of the five (5)
options. Option 1 reflects buildout to the existing Land Use Map
designation. Option 2 — 5 all reduce the potential capacity by lowering
the Land Use Map designations. The following is an estimate of total
housing at buildout (see table found in 8(i) above for greater detail).
b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated? Indicate
whether high, middle, or low income housing.
No existing housing units will be lost as a result of this non -project
action. However, future housing capacity will be lowered in four (4) of
the five (5) options due to lower Land Use Map designations. The table
below represents the amount of future housing capacity lost (see table
found in 8(i) above for greater detail).

of the affected parcels, particularly along Pacific Hwy South, Kent-
Kangley Rd, 1041" and other arterials and residential collectors.
c. How many parking spaces would the completed protect have? How
many would the project eliminate?
IThis is a non -project action. No one project would require special
parking requirements other than those relating to single-family and
some multifamily development. The parcels that would be changing to
commercial are small and would not demand any more parking that
what is presently required by code.
d. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or improvements to
existing roads or streets, not including driveways? If so, generally
describe (indicate whether public or private)
This is a non -project action. The amount of improvement would be
dependent on the proposed development. Options 2 — 5 lower the
number of dwelling units allowed to be built and in Option 1 there is no
change from the existing Land Use Map designation.
1 e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail, or air
transportation? If so, generally describe.
NA
f How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed
project? If known, indicate when peak volumes would occur
Options 2 — 5 lower the total number of dwelling units allowed to be
built and for Option 1 there is no change from the existing future Land
Use Map designation. There would be no added vehicular trips added
during peak volumes, but rather would be subtracted from a buildout
scenario for 2022. In Option 5 where medium density multifamily
residential is proposed (i.e., MRT-16), an additional 74 peak PM trips to
S 272"d would be added. Those trips would be absorbed onto a 4-lane
minor arterial with access to 1-5 and Pacific Hwy South and is deemed
to have no appreciable impact.
1 g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any.
The proximity to excellent public transportation located at Kent Station
(both train and bus) and the extent of existing bus service on East and
West Hill could reduce the need for single occupancy vehicles.

I DO NOT USE THIS SHEET FOR PROJECT ACTIONS
D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in
conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the
types of activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a
greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented
Respond briefly and in general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water;
emission to air, production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous
substances; or production of noise?
Generally Options 2 — 5 would decrease impervious surface due to the
reduction in overall housing except Option 1 which has no change in
the amount of potential housing built.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are.
Development would use wet vaults or storm water detention ponds to
mitigate runoff; noise from construction would be subject to Kent's
Construction Standards and codes; and non -point source hazardous
runoff could be mitigated through the use of vegetated swales.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine
life?
Where applicable, the Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) would moderate
the impacts from development on environmentally sensitive landscapes
and systems. As a non -project action, the affect on living native
organisms would be evaluated at the time of development.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or
marine life?
With the exception of Option 1, which is no change in Zoning District or
Land Use Map designations, all other options would be reducing the
amount of total single-family residential construction. Of those that are
built, the city's CAO would preserve existing wetlands and would
ensure that habitat would be maintained. Options 4 and 5 propose
additional increases in SR-1/Urban Separator designations which
require clustered development, thereby preserving greater open space.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?

AGENCY USE ONLY
With the exception of Option 1, which is no change, all options would
reduce the amount of housing and thereby conserve resources.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources
a re.
The Washington Energy Code require energy conservation. Public
education would maintain awareness of individual use of energy.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally
sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for
governmental protection, such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic
rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural
sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
Although a non -project action, development would use the CAO and
SMP to protect environmentally sensitive areas.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce
impacts are
All open space created through the protection of wetlands during the
development phase, would have restrictive covenants placed on those
protected tracks of land to ensure no additional human intervention.
Additionally, Options 4 and 5 designate additional areas as SR-1/Urban
Separator which would add additional protection by lowering density
and clustering development.
5 How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use,
including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses
incompatible with existing plans?
Lake Meridian is the only shoreline with affected parcels. There is the
potential for redevelopment along the shoreline, however, the majority
of the lots are narrow and any new development would be located
upland. All options, with the exception of Option 1, would lower the
development potential within the Lake Meridian sub -basin. None of the
options propose uses that are incompatible with existing plans. The
lake is primarily residential in development character and used for
public and private recreation. All uses that presently are allowed on the
lake would remain.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts
are*
This project is not proposing any measures to avoid or reduce shoreline
impacts. It is a non -project action to change the Zoning District and
Land Use Map designations. Typically any short plat of 5 du or more
would require some sort of storm detention. The following is the
percentage of all potential development within the Lake Meridian sub-

6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation
or public services and utilities?
With the exception of the no change Option 1, all options would be
reducing the amount of total single-family residential construction.
Where multifamily residential is proposed in Option 5 the development
would be close to rapid transit bus system. Consequently, most of the
options would reduce demand on transportation, public services and
utilities.
IProposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are.

7 Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or
federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment.
None is known.

' proposition for funding a six year Medic One/Emergency
Medical Services Levy pursuant to RCW 84.52.069.
1 RECITALS
A. The existing Medic One/EMS Levy will expire at the end of the year
2007. In accordance with RCW 84.52.069, King County is seeking voter
Iauthorization of a six -year Medic One/Emergency Medical Services Levy (Medic
One/EMS Levy) of $.30 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation for the period of
2008 through 2013.
B. The Medic One/EMS Levy supports the valuable and renowned
' regional Medic One/EMS program. A region -wide effort to thoroughly review the
future needs of the emergency medical services system began in October 2005
and involved the full range of Medic One/EMS Stakeholders. This analysis included
the impacts that a specific levy type, length, and rate might have on the regional
system and on the taxpayers. The City of Kent significantly participated in these
discussions throughout the process and acted as a stakeholder on both the
Technical Stakeholder and the Elected Official Committees.
C. In October 2006, the Stakeholders developed consensus around the
future funding and operational plans for a 2008-2013 Medic One/EMS Levy and
unanimously endorsed a six -year, $.30 per thousand dollars of assessed value levy
proposal.

3. 2007 EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE LEVY
Fire Chief Jim Schneider advised regarding the 2007 Emergency Medical Service Levy. Chief
Schneider advised that the resolution included in the meeting agenda packet was being pulled,
however, he still wished to present a PowerPoint presentation regarding the 2007 Emergency
Medical Service Levy Chief Schneider advised that currently, every six (6) years the public
needs to re -authorize the Emergency Medical Services/Medic I Levy Cities of 50,000 or
greater in population must authorize the County to put the EMS Levy on the ballot for the
November 2007 election. The Levy would raise $605 million over six years, beginning in 2008.
The cost to property owners, if approved by the voters, is .30 cents for each $1,000 of
assessed valuation, or $90 on a $300,000 home annually. The EMS Levy planning process
committee, included Councilmember Tim Clark as a voting member, completed its work in
November 2006, and recommended sending a 6 year, 30 cent EMS levy to the voters at the
2007 general election. As with the current levy, basic life support agencies (the City of Kent)
would receive some funding from the levy. The projected 2008 funding allocation for the City
of Kent is $1,208,076; this is a 55.9% increase over the actual allocation of $775,056 for the
year 2007. Chief Schneider advised that King County was now seeking to place the levy on the
August ballot, rather than the November ballot which would mean the levy would have to be
placed on the ballot by May 29, 2007, and would require the King County Council to have
reviewed and voted on a resolution from there and be able to meet the deadline to place it on
the ballot. Chief Schneider further advised that King County now sought to revise the
recommendations of the levy including the proposed rate.
Mayor Suzette Cooke advised regarding the concerns that Suburban Cities Association meeting
I may face as they are scheduled to vote on May 9, 2007 will be forming their recommendation
to go before the King County Council.
There was discussion regarding the timing of placing the levy on the ballot whether it be in
August or November, the issue of levy lid lifts and the effects it would have on many city
services, and how does the vote that Kent take factor into the big picture. Questions and
concerns were raised by the Committee and addressed.

Plate Reader (APLR) to address the problem of auto theft, as well as assisting with Amber Alerts,
warrant arrests, missing persons, Homeland Security Alerts and BOLO's (Be On the Lookout
alerts). This is an unbudgeted department expense for 2007 and we request a budget
,
amendment for this purchase.
Sergeant Padilla advised that in the United States an automobile is stolen every 26 seconds and ,
the Seattle -Tacoma region ranks 6th highest in the country for vehicle stolen per capita The
Kent Police Department received 1,474 auto theft reports in 2005 and1879 stolen/recovered
stolen vehicles reports in 2006. Kent ranks 7th highest in the state for auto thefts reported per
capita. Nearly 4 out of every 100 households in Kent have been victims of auto theft. Sergeant
Padilla presented a video presentation of an automatic license plate reader as it is currently being
used in Long Beach, California.
Chief Strachan stated with the volume of hits the APLR can obtain it will send the message do not
steal a car in Kent, don't bring a stolen car to Kent because we have this technology and we are
using it.

retrieved or what would be done with the data.

5. EAST HILL POLICE DEPARTMENT BICYCLE PATROL
Mayor Suzette Cooke and Police Chief Steve Strachan presented for informational purposes only
the added item of the Kent Police Department's East Hill Bicycle Patrol. Mayor Cooke advised
that there has been a lot of activity up on the East Hill in commercial areas and multifamily unit
dwellings and some of the crime activity that has occurred The City has also noticed the
deterrent of crime in downtown Kent, the Sounder Station and, the interurban trails, and other
areas which are being patrolled by officers on bicycles. Mayor Cooke has discussed with Chief
I Strachan and believes this deterrent would be beneficial on the East Hill as it allow for
maneuverability and just the visibility of bicycle patrol could make a real difference, however
Mayor Cooke wanted to notify the Operations Committee that the cost is not included in the
budget and this additional patrol would be overtime Chief Strachan advised that during the
summer months the East Hill becomes a target area for personal crime. Chief Strachan would
like to add bicycle patrol to add a proactive element instead of a reactive element to crime on
Kent's East Hill. Chief Strachan stated that bicycle patrol add a proactive element that cannot
be obtained as easily in a patrol vehicle. Bicycles allow better access to alleyways, can eyeball
situations in a different perspective than a patrol vehicle, can see into vehicles in a different
way, and changes the dynamics of patrolling. Chief Strachan would like to implement bicycle
patrol a few times a week during the summer and believes a team of 2 would be most
beneficial and believes this team concept and approach would very effectively. Chief Strachan
again wanted to notify the Operations Committee that the cost however, is not included in the
budget and this additional patrol would be overtime which he believes could be estimated
between $50,000-$70,000, and he wanted to make the Operations Committee aware of this
possible impact on the budget.
Questions and concerns were raised by the Committee and addressed; particularly
Councilmember Ranniger inquired of the potential Weed and Seed Federal Grant application to
provide funds to weed out the crime and seed economic regeneration in a particular defined
area. No action was taken as this was for informational purposes only
The meeting was adjourned at 4; 59 p.m.

SECONDED.
Councilmember Ron Harmon read a statement into the record; citing that "the GMA has implied
that there is a bright -line of 4 units per acre (density) to satisfy their requirements. However, in
Viking Properties vs. Holm, Washington State Supreme Court determined that there is no bright -
line for determining density. Furthermore, it states, "The Growth Management Hearings Board
does not have the authority to make "public policy" even within the limited scope of their
jurisdictions, let alone to make statement public policy. Based on local circumstances you have the
ability to deviate from the 4 growth standard". Harmon continued to read from his statement with
regard to Kent's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Goals and Policies related to
environmental protection, GMA requirements and the preservation of Lake Meridian.
Tim Clark rebutted remarks and stated that the Growth Management Act doesn't have a suburbia.
He stated why he could not support this amendment, although he supports protecting the lake.
