MEMO TO: PLANNING COMMITTEE MEMBERS: LEONA ORR, CHAIR, TIM
CLARK AND JON JOHNSON
FROM: JIM HARRIS, PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE POTENTIAL ANNEXATION
AREA (PAA)
City staff recently met with the City of Renton staff to discuss the PAA boundary between the
two cities. Renton and Kent staff agreed on changes to the boundary that will be mutually
beneficial to the two cities.
The boundary changes are primarily as follows:
1. Move Kent's PAA boundary north from SE 196th Street to SE 192nd Street.
2. Move Kent's PAA boundary easterly, along SE 200th Street from 106th Avenue
SE to 108th Avenue SE.
3. Move Kent's PAA boundary westerly along SE 200th Street from 92nd Avenue
S. to the westerly side of the Valley Freeway (will entail a future deannexation
of Kent's area and annexation to Renton.
4. Move Kent's PAA boundary at SE 192nd and extending northerly to SE 180th
where it lies just easterly of the Valley Freeway, westerly across the freeway (this
will also entail a future deannexation of Kent's area and annexation to Renton.
These changes will more truly reflect the reality of where the boundaries will serve the citizens
who relate to Kent and the reality of a recent Renton purchase of a large area lying just east of
the Valley Freeway at 92nd Avenue S. and S 200th Street.
Staff requests that the Committee approve these amendments and schedule them for the regular
Council meeting on March 5.
The attached map indicates these proposed boundaries.

CLARK AND JON JOHNSON
FROM: JIM HARRIS, PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO THE KENT CITY CODE, CHAPTER 11 .02,
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND COMMUNITY IMPACT
MITIGATION (SEPA)
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) permits cities to place conditions on a
Declaration of Nonsignificance that will mitigate environmental impacts caused by a
project. Kent does this on a regular basis. However, State law is explicit in how and
when we can place such conditions. The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) under
RCW 43.21 C.060 in part states, "Any governmental action may be conditioned or
denied pursuant to this chapter: PROVIDED, That such conditions or denials shall be
based upon policies identified by the appropriate governmental authority and
incorporated into regulations, plans, or codes which are formally designated by the
agency (or appropriate legislative body, in the case of local government) as possible
bases for the exercise of authority pursuant to this chapter ... Such action may be
conditioned only to mitigate specific adverse environmental impacts which are
identified in the environmental documents prepared under this chapter."
Kent's City Code, under Chapter 1 1 .02, Environmental Review and Community Impact
Mitigation, permits the Responsible Official (Section 1 1 .03.510 A, B 1 through 5 and
D 3 a through z), to place conditions on a Declaration of Nonsignificance (DNS) as
spelled out in RCW 43.21 C.060. However, Kent's adopted list of codes and
ordinances that lead to a conditioned DNS, are in some cases out of date and newer
ordinances and resolutions need to be inserted into 11 .03.510 D,3 a through z.
Listed below are the codes, ordinances and resolutions contained in Section
11 .03.510 and the suggested changes (suggested changes are underlined and
proposed deletions are crossed out):
a. The citywide comprehensive plan as prepared and adopted pursuant to the
State Growth Management Act and adopted on April 18 1995 by the Kent
City Council by Ordinance 3222 (Feselut+en 817) and its specific

Re: King County Countywide Policies Amendment -Ratification by Cities
Dear Mayor White:
We are pleased to forward for your consideration and ratification the enclosed amendments to the
King County 2012 Countywide Planning Policies.
The Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) met on September 20, 1995 and voted to pass
an amendment to the Phase II Countywide Planning Policies, Wetlands Protection section (Policy
CA-1) to make the language consistent with state law (ESB 5776). The King County Council
passed and ratified this amendment on behalf of the population of unincorporated King County by
Ordinance 12027 on November 20, 1995.
At the GMPC's November 15, 1995 meeting, the Council voted to amend the boundaries of the
Urban Growth Area (UGA) for the City of Renton to include approximately 30 acres of new urban
land in the UGA. The original Renton Joint Planning Area comprised 57 acres (not to include the
30 acres of new land). Of that 57 acres, 29 acres were included in the Urban Growth Area and 28
acres were designated Rural in the King County Comprehensive Plan 1995 Amendment process as
provided for in Countywide Planning Policy FW-1, Step 8. King County representatives to the
GMPC proposed adding the 30 acres of new urban land at the November 15 GMPC meeting.
Ordinance 12081 passed and ratified this amendment on behalf of the population of unincorporated
King County.
To assist in your review of the amendments, you will find that new language added to the wetlands
policy is underlined and deleted language is struck through, or in the case of Renton, an ordinance
and map are attached. The proposed amendments are the result of an important effort of the
County, the City of Seattle and the Suburban Cities to work cooperatively in managing growth in
King County. We hope you will join us and ratify this amendment on behalf of our region.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us, Rebecha Cusack, Lead Staff to the King
County Council's Growth Management Committee at 296-0330, or Ikuno Masterson of the Office
of Budget and Strategic Planning, at 296-7251.

The Honorable Jim White
Mayor, City of Kent 1
220-4th Ave. S.
Kent WA 98032
RE: Ratification of Renton's Joint Planning Area
Dear Mayor Jim White:
I am requesting, by way of this letter, that your city ratify the amendment to the Countywide Planning
Policies resolving the boundaries of Renton's Joint Planning Area (JPA). After several months of
negotiation with King County staff, the City of Renton and King County have agreed on the boundary
of our JPA established under the Countywide Planning Policies of 1994. The JPA was approved by
the Growth Management Planning Council in November 1995, and adopted by the Metropolitan King
County Council on December 19, 1995 (see attached map).
The new JPA includes a virtual "swap" of about 30 acres that was previously designated as rural for
about 28 acres that was part of the original JPA, but will now be designated as rural. The reason for
the exchange is due to the County's plans to relocate the Elliott Bridge, spanning the Cedar River,
further to the east. Because this bridge represents an important transportation link between the East
Renton Plateau and the Maple Valley Highway, we have consistently held that it should be included
within the urban area.
Under the interlocal agreement covering amendments to the Countywide Planning Policies, the
amendment does not become effective until it is ratified by thirty percent of the jurisdictions
representing seventy percent of the population. Ratification can be by resolution approved by your
City Council. The resolution could reference the King County Ordinance No. 12081 (attached) and
follow the same format used for the original ratification of the Countywide Planning Policies.
Ratification by the local jurisdiction is also deemed to have occurred if there is no action rejecting the
amendment. Renton would appreciate your support of this effort and requests that you ratify the
amendment by either method you prefer. If you have any questions about the JPA, please feel free to
call Mike Kattermann of my staff at 277-6190. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
iesse Tanner

that are involved in resolving these issues are Fire, Public Works and Planning. The following is
an outline of those issues discussed.

Affordability - Sixty percent(60%) of Kent's current population is under the age of 35. Median
income increased from$20,407 in 1980 to $32,341 in 1990 (a 58%increase), where housing prices
increased 100% from 1980 to 1990. The need for affordable housing continues to be important.
Impervious Surface Coverage- The City is concerned with impervious surface coverage and the
ill effects relating to water quality in both aquifers and above ground water sources. Kent is
projecting about 20,000 future households and as this growth continues the impervious surface
concerns become more important.
Fire and Traffic Safety - There are concerns regarding what the minimum safe and viable street
widths are specifically for Kent. The question was asked whether narrow streets would allow
enough maneuvering and visibility in Kent.
Parkin - The following issues were discussed:
• Enforcing restricted parking and no parking areas
• Providing guest parking on a common lot to reduce street parking
• Curbs - standard vs. rolled (possiblity of sidewalk parking)
• Sidewalks -mandated?
• Connecting streets vs. dead end streets.
Kristen Langley from the Public Works department explained the three types of residential streets
in the City of Kent.
1. The typical residential collector street is a three lane facility that is 36 feet
wide from curb to curb with sidewalks on both sides of the street and no on-
street parking.
2. The standard residential street is a 32 foot wide curb to curb roadway with
sidewalks on both sides of the street,on street parking provided on both sides
of the street which allows for approximately 16 feet for two way access per
vehicle. The right of way is typically 49 or 50 feet.
3. The minor plat residential street is 28 feet from curb to curb. It allows on-
street parking on both sides of the street;there is only enough width for travel
in one direction by one vehicle at a time. When vehicles are heading in the
opposite direction one would have to pull over to allow the other to pass.
This street is designed around the ability of a fire truck to enter local access
streets with on street parking still occurring on both sides of the roadway.
The minor plat residential street is only allowed in single subdivision
properties with nine lots or less.

Committee member Tim Clark questioned whether those street standards would still allow for the
City to become more bicycle friendly. Ms. Langley explained that bicycle lanes are not being
planned for the small local access residential streets.
Assistant Fire Chief Mary Berg presented a video tape demonstration of maneuvering a fire truck
and engine with reduced street widths. The video depicted different scenarios to include parking on
both sides of the streets and curved roadways. The video demonstrated the close proximity of
reduced street standards and the difficulty the fire trucks had in maneuvering. The fire fighters also
demonstrated the difficulty they would have trying to get to their equipment and the inability to
lower the outriggers in order to use the ladder for second story buildings.
Fire Chief Norm Angelo stated that the major problem with restricting no parking is enforcement.
He explained that it is too late to enforce no parking at a time of emergency.
Committee member Johnson commented that sidewalks should be required especially near schools.
Chair Orr added that sidewalks should be required in the multi-family developments.
#CPA-96-1 PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE KENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO
INCORPORATE THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN OF THE KENT & FEDERAL WAY
SCHOOL DISTRICTS (L. Evezich)
Kent School District representative Fred High requested that the Committee consider the next step
involved in implementing the school impact fees-adopting the school district's capital facilities plan
into the Comprehensive plan. Mr. High presented elements of the Kent School District's capital
facilities plan. The Kent school district is currently constructing a new elementary,junior and senior
high school. As Kent continues to grow, more schools will be needed. Mr. High presented the
Committee with specific multi-family data regarding student generation and apartment size.
Ms. Geri Walker from the Federal Way school district requested the Committee consider adopting
the Federal Way Capital Facilities Plan into the Kent Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Walker explained
the continuing growth patterns expected for the Federal Way school districts. At this time the
Federal Way school district is not constructing any new schools; however,they are looking toward
modernization of six existing schools in order to increase the capacities.
Chair Orr questioned the next step involved in implementing the school impact fees. Assistant City
Attorney Laurie Evezich explained that the next step would be to amend the Capital Facilities
element of the Kent Comprehensive Plan to incorporate the Capital Facilities Plans of the Kent and
Federal Way school districts and to establish a fee schedule.
This issue was forwarded to the Land Use & Planning Board for a public hearing on January 30,
1996 at 7:00 p.m.

AMENDMENT TO KENT'S SEPA ORDINANCE - (J. Harris)
Planning Director James Harris requested that the Section 11.03.510 Kent City Code be updated to
reflect changes in the reference documents. Mr.Harris explained that in order to condition the SEPA
checklist the City has to reference the 26 documents that are indicated in the Kent City Code. Mr.
Harris explained that he would need to work with other City departments to reference the most
current documents in the SEPA process. Mr. Harris would like the Code to reference the most
current documents available at this time but also include verbiage that would change to include
updated and amended reference documents as they are amended.
Mr. Harris requested to bring this issue to the next scheduled meeting of the Planning Committee
(February 20, 1996).
Gary Young,Polygon addressed the presentation made by Mr. High. Mr. Young was concerned that
Mr. High's presentation addressed only apartments in his study. Mr. Young explained that it was
his experience that condominiums generated less students than apartments. He requested that the
Committee look at he difference in student generation numbers between individually owned
condominiums and leased apartments.
