Geological Hazard Areas - Approve
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign a consultant services agreement
with GeoEngineers Inc., in an amount not to exceed $19,901 for
environmental services needed to update the Critical Areas Ordinance
(CAO), subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City
Attorney and the Public Works Director.
SUMMARY: The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires cities and
counties to adopt a critical areas ordinance (CAO) (RCW 36.70A.060). The current
version of the CAO, KCC 11.06 and KCC 14.09, was adopted in 2006.
When reviewing or updating the CAO, cities are required to include Best Available
Science (BAS) in policies and development regulations to ensure protection of the
functions and values of critical areas. All jurisdictions are required to periodically
review, evaluate, and, if necessary, revise the critical areas ordinance. Jurisdictions
planning under the GMA are also required to review their CAOs to ensure compliance
with the Comprehensive Plan. The City is required to update the CAO by June 2015.
GeoEngineers will assist the City in updating the CAO by reviewing the geologic hazard
areas portion of the CAO for consistency with BAS and providing recommendations for
revising the regulations. GeoEngineers will review available geologic data with respect
to recent major landslides in Washington and use the information to incorporate
recommendations as needed into the CAO.

our scope based on our recent conversations with you. We previously assisted the City in developing the

the requirements outlined in the WAC,for BAS. We will review available geologic data with respect to
recent major landslides that have occurred In Washington State(Whidbey Island and Oso Landslides)
and use this review as a basis for assessing potential presence of similar geologic settings within the
City of Kent,
2. Review the Geologic Hazards section of the existing City of Kent Critical Areas Ordinance and
applicable definitions with respect to the BAS evaluated/established in scope Item 1.
3. Highlight any discrepancies in the ordinance (if any)with respect to the BAS and provide scientifically
supported recommendations to the City for hazard area delineations, buffer/setback standards,
mitigation requirements,etc.
4. Provide a written opinion regarding the current status of the geologic hazard portion of the ordinance
with respect to BAS and provide a red-line revision of the existing code with respect to the BAS review
noted in Item 3. Recommendations regarding additions to the code with respect to assessment of
landslide run out impact mitigation may also be Included,depending on the BAS.
5. Provide a brief written technical report that summarizes the BAS review and outlines the scientific
process that lead to the final recommendations.
