The applicant states, "This request to vacate the 30 foot wide 32"d Ave. S. will eliminate a
substandard width in an unimproved right-of-way, which is at the present.time a refuge
for illegal action. The vacation will reunite properties with common ownership and

IV. Staff Recommendation
After reviewing comments from the Following departments and agencies:
Public Works

Fire
Parks
Puget Sound Energy
King County METRO Transit Division
and conducting our own review, the Planning Department recommends that the request to
vacate a portion of 32'" Avenue South as mentioned in Resolution 1542 and shown on the
accompanying map, be Denied for the following reasons:
1. The parcels to the north of the end of the proposed vacation would lose access to this
• public right-of-way even though they have access to 30' Avenue South.
2. If 32nd Avenue South is to be vacated it should be vacated for its entire length since
vacating the south end effectively prevents any future access by properties to the
north and thus is an ad hoc vacation of the entire street.

TO: MAYOR JIM WHITE AND KENT CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: FRED N. SATTERSTROM, PLANNING MANAGER
RE: PROPOSED TOWNHOUSE (MR-T) ZONING DISTRICT #ZCA-99-5
RECOMMENDATION OF LAND USE & PLANNING BOARD
On April 5, 1999, the City Council Planning and Public Works Committee voted to request the
Land Use & Planning Board study and make recommendations to the City Council on zoning
strategies which would encourage home ownership opportunities in Kent. This Committee vote
stemmed from a series of meetings on the topic of"condominium zoning."
On May 10 and June 14, 1999, the Land Use & Planning Board discussed and reviewed the
condominium zoning issue at length. Several alternative strategies were evaluated at these
• workshops including the creation of a special zoning district, revisions to the Planned Unit
Development (PUD) ordinance, and other proposals. In addition, a tour of various condominium
developments was conducted with the Planning Board on May 24, 1999, in order to gain a first-
hand familiarity with this form of development.
Based on the discussion of options and the tour of condominium projects, the Planning Board
decided to move forward to public hearing on one of the options. This option was the creation of
a special zoning district that would be restricted to townhouse-only condominium development,
subject to specific development regulations which would determine the density and design of
these developments. The Planning Board decided to revisit the PUD amendments at a later date.
Recommendation of the Land Use and Planning Board:
Following the public hearing on the matter on June 28, 1999, the Land Use & Planning Board
voted to recommend that a new zoning district — called MR-T for Multifamily
Residential/Townhouse — be created with the following definition, use and development
standards:
Add to Section 15.03.010 Establishment of Districts
MR-T Multifamih Residential District— Townhouse
It is the purpose of the MR-T district to provide suitable locations for low and medium
density multifamily residential development where home ownership is encouraged
consistent with the comprehensive plan.

TO: RON HARMON, CHAIR AND LAND USE & PLANNING BOARD
MEMBERS
FROM: FRED N. SATTERSTROM, PLANNING MANAGER
RE: PROPOSED TOWNHOUSE ZONING DISTRICT (MR-T)
#ZCA-99-5
Background:
• On April 5, 1999, the City Council Planning and Public Works Committee voted to request the
Land Use and Planning Board study and make recommendations to the City Council on zoning
strategies which would encourage home ownership opportunities in Kent. This Committee vote
stemmed from a series of meetings on the topic of"condominium zoning."
On Mav 10, 1999 and June 14, 1999, the Land Use and Planning Board (LU&PB) discussed and
reviewed the condominium zoning issue at length. Several alternative strategies were discussed
at these workshops including the creation of a special zoning district, revisions to the Planned
Unit Development (PUD) ordinance, and other proposals. In addition, a tour of various
condominium developments was conducted with the LU&PB on May 24, 1999 in order to gain a
first-hand familiarity with this form of development.
Based on the discussion of options and the tour of condominium projects, the LU&PB decided at
their June 14, 1999 workshop to move forward to public hearing with one of the options. This
option is the creation of a special zoning district that would be restricted to condominium-only
multifamily development, subject to specific development regulations, which would determine
the density, and certain aspects of the design of these developments.
Relationship to the Comprehensive Plan:
The issue of encouraging horncownership opportunities is mentioned in the Kent Comprehensive
Plan. In fact, condominium-style housing (one of several forms of homeownership) is addressed
in the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Housing Goal H-4 states: "Expand home

ownership opportunities for;all income groups via land use regulations,financial strategies, and
the removal of barriers to lending. " Policy H-4.1 specifically addresses condominiums in terms
of zoning when it states: "Devise zoning and development standards to facilitate small lot sizes,
manufactured housing on single family lots, townhouses, condominiums, clustering, and other
options which increase the supply of affordable ownership opportunities. "
Zoning Strategies for Encomragin; Home Ownership
The City's existing multifamily residential zones do not differentiate between rental or owner
housing. Except for PUD development in the SR (Single Family) zones, there is no requirement
for condominium-type development in the zoning code, nor is there any zoning district which
may be requested by an applicant for rezone which would limit developments to this project
type. In addition, the City Attorney has advised the Planning Department that it is not lawful to
simply adopt a zoning amendment which would require homeownership (i.e., condominiums) in
all multifamily zoning districts. Nevertheless, under certain conditions, condominiums may be
encouraged as an alternative to apartments through various zoning methods. These methods
were first discussed with the (Council Planning and Public Works Committee in March and April
and then the Land Use and Planning Board in May and June. Some of the primary alternatives
included the following:_
■ Contract rezoning. Under this option, approval of a rezone request would be
conditioned upon ian agreement between the applicant and the City. Among other
things, the agreement might contain a statement that only condominiums could be
constructed. Therefore, any development permit ultimately issued by the City would
constrict development to condominiums only. Decisions of the City Council would
be made on a casell'by-case basis.
■ Planned Unit Development ordinance. The existing PUD ordinance restricts
condominium-type;(attached) housing in the SR zones to sites that are more than 100
acres in size. An option would be to reduce this minimum site size to 10 or 5 or even
a smaller thresholdb resulting in more areas which could, given City Council approval
of the PUD, be utilized for attached condominium style housing.
Townhouse Zoning District. This option would entail the creation of a special
zoning district which would permit only condominium type developments and would
require the recordi�tg of a condominium plat prior to issuance of a development
permit. A maximum density would be specified which could be similar or different
from other multifalmily zones. The T-zone would be available for applicants to
request rezoning ofisuitable sites with criteria for rezoning set by ordinance.
• Overlay (or `Inceptive") Zoning. This option would allow additional density in
existing multifamily zones for condominium developments. Densities for rental
apartments would remain the same. As an overlay, it would only be available for
existing multifamil} zones.
Z�A-99-5 Proposed Townhouse Zoning District(MR-T)
LUPB June 28, 1999
Page 3
Discussion and Evaluation of Alternatives:
The above options were discussed at length by the LU&PB and, with the exception of the T-
zone, were found to be unsuitable. While contract rezoning may be a legal method for rezoning
and conditioning development, it was found not to be a good way to develop policy. In reality, it
is the opposite of consistent and predictable policy since the specific conditions will be different
from one site to another. It is subject to "deal-making" and puts the City Council and LU&PB in
an awkward position. In addition, recent experience with contract rezoning has not been
positive.
The overlay zone option (where additional density is allowed for condominiums but not rental
apartments) offers only limited advantage in terms of inducing homeownership opportunities.
This is because the densities already allowed in the City's MR (multifamily) zones are fairly
high. Townhouse condominiums are generally low-density projects, usually in the range of 10-
14 units per acre. Densities in excess of this generally yield "stacked unit" configurations, where
residential units are built over one another. Therefore, perhaps only the MR-D (Duplex) zone—
where the density limit is 10 units per acre — would attract applications for a condominium
density bonus.
The Planned Unit Development option was considered by the LU&PB and was determined to
need additional study before moving forward to public hearing. As proposed by staff in
preliminary discussions, the PUD revisions would be restricted to only the SR-6 and SR-8 zones,
the minimum site size would be 2 acres and the maximum site size would be 10 acres. Also,
Sspecial criteria would be specified for approval of such PUD's, including factors relating to
proximity to transit and services, adjacency to arterial streets, and open space. However,
following discussions with the LU&PB, it was felt this option needed further study before
moving to public hearing.
The creation of a special zoning district which would restrict multifamily development to
condominium-only was felt to be a viable option for increasing the opportunities for
homeownership in Kent, and at their June 14, 1999 workshop, the LU&PB moved this
alternative along to public hearing for June 28, 1999. As proposed by staff, this new zoning
district would require multifamily development to be condominium-only subject to development
standards which would allow a two-story configuration (no stacked units), a density maximum of
12 ;:nits per acre, multifamily design review, and other requirements.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the LU&PB recommend to the City Council to add the following to Kent
Zoning Code, Section 15.03.010 Establishment and designation of districts:
MR-T Multifamily Residential District-Townhouse
It is the purpose of the MR-T district to provide suitable locations for low to medium
density multifamily residential development where homeownership is encouraged
Oconsisient with the comprehensive plan.

The LU&PB may also wish Ito consider additional rezone criteria, which would provide guidance
and direction in the decisijon-making process for rezone applications. Rezone criteria are
specified in Section 15.09.050 of the Kent Zoning Code (SEE, Attachment Q. These criteria
seek to ensure that rezonesi are consistent with the comprehensive plan, are compatible with
surrounding development, dlo not unduly burden the street system, and do not cause adverse
impacts to the public. The L.V&PB could add criteria to ensure that rezones to MR-T achieve the
original intent of creating opportunities for attached homeownership opportunities. Staff suggests
the following criteria based bn the discussions with Board and Council members regarding this
option:
1. The proposed rezone site is adjacent to or has direct access to an arterial street to
ensure that the traffic accessing the MR-T development does not travel through
single family residential neighborhoods.
Z. The proposed rezone site is conveniently located near transit stops and commercial
services.

Land Use and Planning Board Minutes

Mr. O'Neill stated that a section could be added to the view regulations to include the use of a view
pole in a case where a variance is requested. Mr. O'Neill suggested a phrase be added to the view
regulations that say,"that if someone requested a variance part of the process would be to erect view
poles on the property."
Mr..Harmon suggested that if a house is constructed in an area with view regulations that a pole be
placed on the property during the permit process. He stated erecting a pole on the property would
allow impacted parties to determine if view from their properties would be obstructed Mr. Harmon
stated that terminology should be added to the view regulations to address erecting and marling a
view pole when any development takes place on view regulated property.
Mr. O'Neill stated that a developer is complying with the code when he abides by the maximum
height threshold established by Planning staff and if view poles were erected and neighbors objected
to the height, they would not have much recourse. Mr. O'Neill stated that if a builder or property
owner were to request a variance to exceed their height limitations, it would be fair to erect view
poles at that time to allow neighbors to address their concerns.
Mr.Dowell stated that in Section 15.08.060(A)2 he would like`finished grade"be reworded to read
"..as measured from original or natural grade... Mr. O'Neill advised changing the terminology to
"natural or futished grade, which ever is lower". He stated that under certain circur stances builders
are sensitive to up slope property views by grading lower or building daylight basements.
Steve Dowell MOVED and Sharon Woodford SECONDED to accept staffs recommendation of
ZCA-99-6 View Regulations with the following amendments:
To amend Section 15.08.060(A) of the Zoning Code as recommended by Staff with an
addition to Item 2, Page 5 by changing 'finished grade" to read `from natural or finished
grade which ever is lower".
To add additional languages to the code to allow erecting a marked view pole if a variance
is required.
Motion carried unanimously.
ZCA-"-5 Condominium ZoninLy Strategies
Mr. Sattermom stated that a tour of condominium developments in the East Hill area of Kent took
place with the Land Use and Planning Board in May where they looked at a variety of densities and
condominium designs.
Mr. Satterstrom stated that prior to staffs submittal of their recommendations, several alternatives
were looked at by the Board and City Council in encouraging homeownership in multifamily
developments.
Land Use and Planning Board Minutes
June 28, 1999
Page 6
Mr. Satterstrom stated that the Comprehensive Plan indicates that staff needs to look into the concept
of proposing some regulatory mechanisms for encouraging condominium housing in Kent. Mr.
Satterstrom stated that this concept is traced to Housing Goal HA policy of the Comprehensive Plan
which states "...revue zoning and development standards to facilitate small lot sues, manufactured
housing on single family lots, townhouses, condominiums, clustering and other options which
increase the supply of affordable ownership opportunities."
Mr. Satterstrom referred to Page 2 of his staff report in identifying the following four options that
the Board and City Council evaluated in their search to encourage condominium housing in Kent.
• Contract Rezoning
• Planned Unit Development ordinance
• Townhouse Zoning District
• Overlay(or"Incentive's Zoning.
Mr. Satterstrom stated that even though Contract Rezoning is legal, it is poor policy and considered
the antithesis of zoning. Mr. Satterstrom stated that the PUD ordinance was looked at by the Board
and tabled in order to acquire further information. He stated that the Overlay or Incentive zoning
option was viewed to have limited application and not a viable option.
• Mr. Satterstrom stated that after careful review of the four options, staff is recommend
ing the
creation of a separate zoning district called the MR-T(Multifamily Residential-Townhouse)zoning
district. He stated that staff proposes that the Board recommend to the City Council that the MR-T
district be added to the City's zoning district with a purpose statement that says "that it is the
purpose of the MR-T district to provide suitable locations for low to medium density multifamily
residential development where home ownership is encouraged consistent with the comprehensive
plan."
Mr. Satterstrom stated that staff is proposing the addition of a multifamily townhouse definition that
says "a townhouse dwelling is a residential dwelling unit which is attached to other dwelling units
along one or both sides and which occupies the building area from ground level to the roof with no
dwelling units located above or below"
Mr. Satterstrom spoke at length from Page 4 of the staff report in stating that the proposed
"Principally permitted Uses"; "Accessory Uses" and "Conditional Uses" for the MR-T zone will
remain predominately the same as in the MR-G zone.
Mr. Satterstrom referred to Page 5 of the staff report in speaking at length on development standards.
He stated that the maximum density for single family would be 8.71 dwelling units per acre, the
same as MR-G. Mr. Satterstrom stated that the multiple family density would be 12.0 dwelling units
Land Use and Planning Board Minutes
June 28, 1999
Page 7
per acre. He reiterated the!proposed development standards as indicated on Page 5 of the staff
report.
Mr. Satterstrom stated that at additional standard is added stating that "All Multifamily townhouse
developments in the MR-T zbne shall be condominium only. A condominium plat shall be filed and
recorded prior to approval of a development permit by the City."
Mr. Satterstrom pointed outthe five criteria relating to property rezoning as indicated on page six
of the report. He stated that to ensure that rezones to the MR-T are consistent with the intent for
which this zone was created I staff is suggesting, for the Board's edification, the addition of the two
following criteria in respect Ito MR-T zones.
"The proposed rezone site is adjacent to or has direct access to an arterial street to ensure that the
traffic accessing the MR-T development does not travel through single family residential
neighborhoods" and "Me proposed rezone site is conveniently located near transit stops and
commercial. services."
Mr. Satterstrom submitted al letter for the record-from Jack Lynch and Associates as Exhibit 1,
suggesting that the density pier acre be"a range"rather than a"specific number"of units per acre.
Mr. Satterstrom responded t6 Te
rry erry Zimmerman's request to reiterate the City's approval process
for this recommendation. He!stated that if the Board recommends approval to implement the MR-T
zone,this item would then besent on to the Full City Council, with initial review by its Planning and
Public Works Committee. Mr. Satterstrom stated that when this recommendation goes before the
Council, it will be voted on and an ordinance would be generated.
Terry Zimmerman asked Mr[ Satterstrom at what point further comment would be received. Mr.
Satterstrom stated that the' Council recognizes people who want to speak at the Public
Works/Planning Committee and at the Full Council meeting. Mr. Satterstrom stated that the Land
Use and Planning Board public hearing is where public comment is most likely to influence the
Council in reaching a decisiotn.
In response to Ron Harmon, Mr. Satterstrom stated that Green Meadow Townhomes were the fast
stop on the workshop tour of bondominums and that the density on the buildable portion of the site
was 10 units per acre as the preponderance of the site is wetlands.
Tent'Zimmerman MOVED grid Steve Dowell SECONDED to open the public hearing. Motion
carried.
Robert Howe, 5446 Hyada !Blvd NE, Tacoma, WA stated that he is a member of a couple of
limited liability companies thlat are engaged in developing property in the City of Kent. He stated
that if the intent of the City is io provide a viable program that will result in townhouse development,
staff needs to assure that thel restrictions and guidelines enforced are not so restrictive that this
recommendation becomes unworkable.
Land Use and Planning Board Minutes
June 28, 1999
Page 8
Mr. Howe voiced concern over staff s recommendation that a townhome site needs to be located
adjacent to or have direct access to an arterial street. He stated that developers should be given
opportunity to address viable egress and access alternatives to a proposed site.
Mr. Howe questioned if MR-T zoning was restricted to the current MR-G zone or could this zoning
apply to SR-6 or SR-8. He stated that the development process is time consuming and would like
to see a method implemented to decrease the length of time for the rezoning process, perhaps by
deleting the comprehensive plan amendment process.
Bill Dinsdale, 13700 SE 266", Kent,WA stated that providing affordable housing is crucial. He
stated that the proposed zoning does not provide for more affordable housing for people. Mr.
Dinsdale stated that to decrease cost, densities must increase to more than 12 units per acre.
Mr. Dinsdale stated that by restricting egress and ingress for townhome developments next to an
arterial,property that can take advantage of the MR-T is limited. He stated that there are numerous
developable properties not located directly on arterials.
Mr. Satterstrom in clarifying an issue stated that staff is not proposing that existing MR-G zoned
property is going to be affected by this proposal at all. He stated that what is proposed is the creation
• of another zoning district to give landowners and developers the option of rezoning land to a higher
density. Mr. Satterstrom cited the example that if property were zoned MR-D, 10 units per acre, the
MR-T zone would represent an increase in density.
MR-T is an option that the Council would be given to encourage homeownership in the situations
that are intended in the purpose statement and in the criteria.
Charles Burridge, 27001 114t° Avenue SE, Kent, WA stated that he is involved in several
developments in the City of Kent. He stated that he is considering developing several pieces of
property in Kent with multifamily and a townhouse project. Mr. Burridge stated that some of the
properties have mitigation problems with wetlands where the MR-T would allow townhouse units
to be developed surrounding these wetlands.
Mr. Burridge stated that requiring locating the condominium sites next to arterial roads would be
prohibitive and if allowing for only one entrance would be restrictive. He suggested that staff might
look at the feasibility of two or three entryways for a development.
Hugh Lieper, 815 Reiten Road, Kent, WA stated that he is a commercial real estate consultant.
Mr. Lieper stated that he believes the City has been attempting to accomplish a distinct separation
between the concept of condominium and apartment zoning with the creation of the MR-T zone.
•Mr. Lieper read and submitted a proposal for a new condominium-zoning district for the record as
Exhibit 2. Mr. Lieper defined this new category as Condominium Townhouse Type Zoning(CTTZ)
Land Use and Planning Bo4Lrd Minutes
June 28, 1999
Page 9
which included allowing for one unit of living space in a two or three story configuration on a
maximum of sixteen units per acre.
Mr. Lieper stated that a dert�ity of 12 units per acre is not affective when working on developing a
piece of property and that lie favored three story units in order to include construction of garages
underneath the townhomes. He felt the 30-foot height restriction limits the workability to construct
adequate townhomes.
Mr. Lieper stated that the lalst item in additional standards says that "a condominium plat shall be
filed and recorded prior to the approval of a development permit". He stated that with a
condominium you can not record a total plat until construction is complete and the property has been
surveyed. Mr. Lieper further stated that an actual survey of each unit and each part of that piece of
property has to be recorded and that becomes part of the total conditions that must be met to satisfy
the statutes of the state.
Paul Morford, Post Office t1ox 6345,Kent,WA voiced his disappointment in the proposed MR-T
zone as it does not lend itself to the creation of affordable housing in Kent. He referred to a
development in the City of Dles Moines where detached units are currently under construction on 25-
C foot lots with 15-foot wide units and 5 foot setbacks. Mr. Morford stated that the lots were platted
in the 1920's. •
Mr. Morford stated that the units are expensive but more affordable than a typical single family
residence and encouraged stuff to look at plans, which he submitted to the Board. Mr. Morford
submitted an architectural version of the Marin Grove Community floor plans for the record as
Exhibit#3. Mr. Morford stated that in the 1920'the City of Kent based development on small lots,
located close to commercial,frail and waters and suggested changing minimum lot widths to 25 feet.
Mr. Morford referenced Section 15.08 of the Kent Zoning Code on Nonconforming Lots of Record
in saying that an ordinance Was passed in the 1950's that stipulated if a property owner owned two
lots side by side, the lots had to be combined in order to develop them. He stated that he believes
by removing the nonconforming lot, a home could be built on one lot and a townhouse on the
adjoining lot.
Mr. Morford stated that the o$iginal intent of rezoning was to discourage multifamily and encourage
condominiums or home ownership and that he feels that the MR-T zone should allow for a higher
density to decrease the cost per unit.
Mr. Morford suggested redefining the MR-T zone to Townhouse District only so as not to limit
zoning to multifamily but ratter encourage small townhouse developments. He stated that the staff
report refers to the '"T district as providing suitable locations for low to medium density
multifamily". Mr. Morford $uggested striking that statement out and add "it is purposely marked
T district to provide suitable locations for residential development where home ownership is
encouraged."
Land Use and Planning Board Minutes
June 28, 1999
• Page 10
Mr. Morford quoted the staff report's definition of a multifamily townhouse dwelling on page four
of the report and suggested rephrasing the definition from ". a townhouse dwelling is a residential
dwelling unit,which is, attached..."to a townhouse dwelling is a residential dwelling unit which may
or may not be is-attached..." in order to develop unattached units on small lots.
Mr. Morford spoke at length on his concerns regarding density limitations within the multifamily
residential zoning district.
Mr. Morford stated that he would like staff to receive input from Jerry Snyder of Snyder Homes who
built two planned unit developments in the County which have since been annexed to the City and
although they are close to an arterial, access is not from an arterial. Mr. Morford stated that he feels
it to be nebulous that this zoning require a townhome development to be located near transit stops
and commercial services as well as to require access from an arterial.
Mr.Jerry Prowdy,27608 114*Avenue Southeast,Kent,WA stated that he believes the new MR-
T zoning does not provide enough concessions to encourage multifamily developers to build
condominiums.
Mr.Prowdy stated that he favor;the proposed zoning as it more adequately applies to single family
zones with steep slopes or partial wetlands where townhomes could be clustered on lots.
• W. Prowdy stated that he did not favor developers going having to go through the comprehensive
plan amendment and rezoning process as it is lengthy and would discourage developers from
constructing townhomes.
Mr. Prowdy questioned if the rezone process could be streamlined and stated that even though the
lot sizes and units per acre were conservative, none the less, he is in favor of moving this
recommendation on for approval.
Mr. Satterstrom stated if a property owner has existing MR-G zoning which allows 16 units per acre,
condominiums can be developed in that zone at 16 units per acre and in MR-M zoning,
condominiums or apartments can be developed at 23 units per acre. The MR-T zoning does not
propose to change that.
Mr. Satterstrom stated that staff believes that the MR-T zoning constitutes a form of multifamily
zone because the density of 12 units per acre is more than would be permitted in any of the City's
single family zones. He stated that generally you would not find 12 units per acre in a detached
configuration.
Mr. Satterstrom stated that the intent of the MR-T zone is to treat it as a multifamily zoning. He
stated that the unique feature of the MR-T zone requires that development in that district must
provide affordable owner occupied condominiums.
Land Use and Planning Bajard Minutes
June 28, 1999
Page 1 I •
Mr. Satterstrom stated that he would beseech the Board to not remove the distinction of a
multifamily zoning districq from the MR-T zone, even though single family could be constructed
within this zone. Mr. Satterstrom reiterated the criteria for siting of condominium development. He
stated that the MR-T zoning would be applied to property through the rezoning process and if the
conditions of the rezone renUin consistent with the comprehensive plan, than there would be no need
to apply for a comprehensive plan amendment.
Mr. Satterstrom stated that direct access to arterial streets is a criteria not a requirement. He stated
that the crucial factor in evgluating a proposed rezoned site is to allow the Hearing Examiner and
City Council to see that traffic patterns accessing these sites do not generally run through single
family areas adversely affe0ting these neighborhoods.
Steve Dowell MOVED and Sharon Woodford SECONDED to close the public hearing. Motion
carried.
Communication ensued at length between Mr. Dowell and Mr. Satterstrom concerning changes to
the PUD ordinance and if as result,the changes would require a comprehensive plan amendment in
September,which Mr. Satterstrom replied in the negative.
Mr. Harmon stated that this' condominium zoning ordinance has been brought about from the last •
comprehensive and zoning change requests that were held in October and November of 1998
pertaining to two properties, one on Pacific Highway South and one on East Hill.
Mr. Harmon stated that the!Board looked at the requests and were informed by the applicants that
if a townhouse ordinance was implemented, that the applicants voice interest in constructing a
townhome development. lair. Harmon stated that the rezone requests moved forward to the City
Council, the Council looked at them and decided to table the requests because they did not want to
deny the applicants the opportunity to build.
Mr. Harmon stated that the!Board was given direction from the Council Committee members to
proceed with establishing a townhouse condominium zoning ordinance, in order to allow the Pacific
Highway and East Hill projocts to proceed.
Mr. Satterstrom stated that if a MR-T zoning district is created, the Council has the option to bring
the two amendments that ware tabled back for consideration. The Council has the option to approve
them as proposed, deny then or apply a new zoning district like the MR-T.
Board member Terry Zimmerman stated that she agrees with a number of the speakers that 12 units
per acre are not sufficient dgnsities to provide affordable housing. She stated her concurrence with
several speakers that a density of 16 units per acre would be appropriate.
I
Land Use and Planning Board Minutes
June 28, 1999
• Page 12
Ms. Zimmerman stated that she agrees with Mr. Lieper in that staff needs to consider allowing three
story height limitations where garages could be built underneath. She stated that Kent has quite a
bit of sloped property that could accommodate a three story high condominium.
Ms. Zimmerman stated that she disagrees with the stipulation that condominium sites are required
to be located adjacent to or provide direct access to the site from an arterial. She voiced her concern
that this condition is generated by City Council concerns that residential neighborhoods will not
disapprove of multifamily projects being accessed on their residential streets.
Ms.Zimmerman stated that she would recommend that the access issue needs to be addressed fturther
either by public process or through Mr. Harris's administrative ability. She stated that a lot of
developable property is not directly located on arterial streets.
Ms. Zimmerman voiced her opposition to the rezone criteria 92 regarding locating the proposed
rezone site near transit stops and commercial services. She stated that this theory is not feasible, as
it seems that transit and commercial follow development and not the other way around.
Sharon Woodford stated that the MR-T zoning does not seems to apply to MR-G or above, as there
is no benefit for higher density. Ms. Woodford questioned if implementing an additional MR-T zone
would address incentives for higher density multifamily to encourage them to develop townhouses.
Ms. Woodford stated with an additional zoning,you could have a townhouse ordinance for single
family residents and one for the higher density multifamily with differing regulations.
Ms. Woodford suggested rephrasing the rezone criteria#1 on Page six of the staff report to read"that
the proposed rezoned site is adjacent to or has close access to an arterial street to ensure that the
traffic accessing the MR-T development does not disrupt single family residential neighborhoods"
Ms. Woodford spoke in favor of the concept of allowing for two or three entrances into a
development as long as it was not disruptive.
Mr. Dowell stated that citizens, staff and members of the board provided a lot of good information.
He questioned if the Board was really ready to move forward with a decision. Mr. Dowell voiced
concern that he hoped the Board would not base their decision on the benefit of two pieces of
property close to Des Moines as it would not be a fair or justifiable reason.
Mr. Dowell stated that he would recommend tabling this issue for further evaluation with staff based
on testimony given. He stated that he feels more time is needed to refine a plan that would better
address affordable housing.
Ron Harmon stated that he had a couple issues, one of which were the additional standards in
reference to filing of the condominium plats. Mr. Harmon asked Mr. Satterstrom to address this
issue.
Land Use and Planning Board Minutes N
June 28, 1999
Page 13
Mr. Satterstrom stated that filling of the condominium plat could be a limitation that may have to be
changed. He stated that the ICity wants to make sure that the condominium plat is indeed filed and
that the city is not creating townhouse rental units. Mr. Satterstrom stated that if in conferring with
the City Attorney's office Oe filing of the condominium plat proves to be a limitation, staff may
propose that filing occur prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy, at which point the project
would be built.
Mr. Satterstrom stated that staff would favor language where the City completes the final sign off
of the condominium plat at the time the certificate of occupany is issued.
Mr. Satterstrom in addressirig the Board's density concerns stated that if 12 units per acre are too
limiting in its application, tiere is nothing to prevent the Board from recommending a secondary
type of district. He caution¢d the Board that staff feels this district is fine the way it is written.
Mr. Harmon voiced concemi that a higher density zoning district may be approved by the Board but
be denied by the Council as the public seems opposed to more multifamily apartment complexes and
structures of that size. W. 9.armon stated that he supports staffs recommendation for 12 units per
acre in the MR-T zone.
Mr.Harmon stated that a traffic mitigation study is currently in progress regarding the issues of who •
is going to pay for the nelw traffic corridors. Mr. Harmon questioned the possibility that if
developers were allowed to provide access to their condominium sites through existing residential
neighborhoods in lieu of boing restricted to arterials streets, this could cut cost substantially for
developers in not having to spay for road way improvements.
Mr. Harmon voiced concettn that traffic should not be allowed to travel through single family
neighborhoods and propos$ wording that would indicate this. Mr. Harmon felt that placing a
development near transit strips could prove difficult but indicated that locating a development near
commercial services was imperative.
Mr. Satterstrom proposed rephrasing the additional rezone criteria #1 to say "That the proposed
rezone site is adjacent to or has convenient access to an arterial street to ensure that the traffic
accessing the MR-T development minimizes the disruption to single family residential
neighborhoods."
Mr. Harmon acknowledged!Mr. Dowell's concern in reference to his desire that the Board should
accumulate more information but stated that he felt the Board needs to move on this issue as quickly
as possible.
Steve Dowell MOVED to table this issue which died for lack of a second.
i
Ron Harmon said that he agrees with the motion as stated with the exception that he would like to
see the density remain at 12units per acre and changed his view from a two story high limitation to
Land Use and Planning Board Minutes J
June 28, 1999
Page 14
three story height limitation to provide for a garage underneath. The cut through limitation is
acceptable. He felt that locating a development close to transit should be stricken from the motion,
and after reconsideration stated that the rezone criteria "...near commercial services' should
additionally be stricken from the motion.
Sharon Woodford stated that she disagrees with retaining"...near commercial services" as that leaves
a lot to interpretation. She stated that "near" could be defined as three blocks or three miles and
would be hard to defend.
Ms. Zimmerman spoke at length about studying this issue further. She stated that the Board has
previously had the option to bring forward revisions for the PUD. Ms. Zimmerman stated that the
Board choice not to address the PUD issues but rather to bring the condominium issue before the
Board in order to revisit the PUD issue and study this issue in more depth. Ms. Zimmerman stated
that she would like to address smaller lot sizes as well as infill into the downtown area with single
family residents developed on smaller lots. _
Ms. Zimmerman stated that she would like the Board to make it their task over the next year to
develop affordable housing concepts. Mr. Dowell stated that if the PUD ordinance were brought
back for further study, he would vote in favor of implementing the MR-T zoning district.
• Sharon Woodford stated that she favors sixteen units per acre but believes that it would not pass at _
City Council at this time, therefore, she will concur with what ever the Board chooses.
Sharon Woodford stated that she supports the option for allowing three story condominiums
development. She stated that with all the hills in Kent, three-story construction could be
accomplished without the development appearing too tall. Ms. Woodford concurred with Mr. Leiper
in noting that the location for such zoning shall be completely compatible and in harmony with the
surrounding areas citing that if you are in a single story, single family residential area, it would not
seem appropriate to build a three story townhouse.
Terry Zimmerman stated that she does not support 12 units per acre,but concurred with three story
heights. She stated that we have an obligation to pass on to Council the response that we have
obtained from the community through the course of the public hearing and she did not hear anyone
speak in favor of 12 units per acre.
Ron Harmon stated that he would like to see a recommendation proposed tonight that could be
passed on to the City Council and approved. He stated that the Board members are appointed and
not elected officials. He stated that Planning staff is the Board's ears and eyes and emphasized that
Planning staff has as much knowledge in reference to moving this recommendation forward as the
developers setting in the audience. Mr. Harmon suggested that the Board look fervently at staff s
recommendation.

Fred Satterstrom asked for the Board to clarify if their motion is in favor of the 12 units per acre
density and includes the new;height limits of three stores restricted solely to townhouse as defined.
Ms. Zimmerman concurred:
Mr. Satterstrom stated that irk terms of changing the language change pertaining to the filing of the
Condominium plat and issua#rce of the certificate of occupancy; Mr. Satterstrom asked if staff could
have some latitude with coordinating the timing issue.
Terry Zimmerman MOVED And Sharon Woodford SECONDED to accept staffs recommendation
of ZCA-99-5 Condominium Zoning Strategies with the additional changes as noted:
• That the maximum density units per acre be changed from 12 units per acre to 16 units per acre.
• That the height limitations be extended to three stories.
• That the underlined lan&age be added to the rezone criteria#1 to read as: "the proposed rezone
site is adjacent to or haslL*reet convenient access to an arterial street to ensure that the traffic
accessing the MR-T devlopment does nef wavei Areuominimizes the disruption to single
family residential neighborhoods. "
( • That the rezone criteria 012 stating"Me proposed rezone site is conveniently located near transit
stops and commercial services"be struck from the recommendations. •
• That for legal purposes 'the following addition be made that filing of the condominium plat
should occur prior to or concurrently with the issuance of the occupancy permit.
Motion carried.
