KING COUNTY POLICIES AMENDMENT -RATIFICATION BY CITIES (F. Satterstrom)
Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom explained the proposed ratification of Countywide Planning
Policies. The first issue is an amendment to allow either the 1987 or the 1989 Federal Manual to
delineate wetlands. The second issue to be ratified is an amendment to the boundaries of the Urban
Growth Area for the City of Renton. This area is well outside of any City of Kent's interest area.
Mr. Satterstrom recommended the Committee approve these changes and send these items to the
City Council
Council member Johnson MOVED to adopt King County Countywide Policies Amendment -
Ratification by Cities and send a final Resolution to the City Council for approval under the consent
calendar. Council member Clark SECONDED the motion. The motion carried.
POTENTIAL DOWNTOWN ZONING AMENDMENTS
Mr. Harris explained that the Downtown Commercial (DC) zone does not allow drive-in facilities.
Cascade Bank is trying to relocate their branch within downtown with the complication that the DC
zone does not allow drive-in facilities.
Mr. Harris explained an additional potential downtown zoning amendment relating to the number
of taverns in the downtown area. Council member Clark questioned if this was pursued because of
an increase in crime. Mr. Harris explained this issue originated from the Mayor in August 1995.
Mr. Satterstrom explained another option for Cascade Bank would be to request a rezone from DC
to DCE which would allow the drive-up banking. Chair Orr questioned the time frame for a rezone.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 4:50 p.m.
