She summarized the update and focused on concerns identified in Council Study Sessions. Ms. Gould-Wessen and Community Development Director Fred Satterstrom addressed the Committee's concerns with the proposed language in Policy TR-6.6 for cul-de-sac streets and the history on connectivity. After discussion,the Committee agreed to return the original word "Limit"and remove the word"Prohibit". Ms. Gould-Wessen explained the need for the Policy LU-9.1 on urban density and responded to the Committee's concerns. After discussion, the Committee agreed to keep the word Encourage" from an earlier edited version of the policy and remove the word "Consider", so as to read "Encourage increasing residential densities to four(4)units per net acre,...". Council President Julie Peterson expressed concerns with either wording for Policy LU-9.1. Assistant City Attorney Kim Adams Pratt responded to the Committee's questions concerning changing the language further without holding a public hearing, and reaffirmed the aforementioned changes could be made with no additional public hearings. Ms. Gould-Wessen identified three (3) options for moving forward on Policy LU-9.1. The Committee unanimously favored adding to Planning Services' 2004 Work Program the item to analyze all SF-1 and SF-3 land use designations based on case law from the Growth Management Hearings Board on urban density. This matter would be brought forward in the following "Supporting Regulations (#CPA-2004-1)".

Kent,WA 98032-5895 JUNE 7, 2004 TO: CHAIR TIM CLARK AND PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEMBERS FROM: GLORIA GOULD-WESSEN, AICP, GIS COORDINATOR/PLANNER THROUGH: MAYOR JIM WHITE REGARDING: 2004 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE (#CPA-2002-1) MOTION: Approve/Disapprove/Modify Kent's 2004 Comprehensive Plan Update as presented by staff. SUMMARY: On June 1, 2004, the Kent City Council moved to remand Policies TR-5.6 and LU-9.1 of the Kent Comprehensive Plan to staff for re-review, clarification and subsequent forwarding to the Planning & Economic Development Committee in anticipation of full Council reconsideration of the complete document on July 6, 2004. The City of Kent is updating its Plan in an effort to comply with the State Growth Management Act (GMA). The update does not substantially change the direction, theme, goals, or policies of the Plan adopted in 1995. BUDGET IMPACT: None BACKGROUND: Policy TR-5.6 is included in the Transportation Element under Facility Design Goals & Policies, specifically under Goal TR-5 "Design transportation facilities to preserve and to be consistent with the built environments." The policy as currently proposed is "Limit tYthE the development of new cul-de-sac streets except where there are geographic or environmental constraints that make connections to other streets infeasible. to nit.a tien,. ...1.efe .. ,.ti„n..tion of the ad at n e♦i.no in the f,t„vo . unlikely." The intent of the policy is to promote multimodal connectivity in neighborhoods -- from subdivision to subdivision, from residences to schools, commercial areas, parks, and so forth. The intent also is to recognize that there are situations when such connectivity is not feasible, either because of geographic or environmental constraints, because of safety concerns, or because connecting all streets is not practical or desirable. In light of the intent and to allow flexibility in satisfying the policy, staff proposes the following language for Policy TR-5.6: Foster connectivity of new development with the surrounding neighborhood. Policy LU-9.1 is included in the Land Use Element under Housing Goals &Policies, specifically under Goal LU-9 "Provide adequate land and densities to accommodate the adopted twenty (20) • year housing target of 4,284 new dwelling units within the existing city limits, and through an interlocal agreement with King County, adopt the housing target of 619 new dwelling units 6 1 within Kent's Potential Annexation Area." The policy as currently proposed is "Average E..,.,.•,_age ayffggt ne increasing residential densities thr-eugheta the Deem...' ^....,.Rabe Area should be, at le-As. R-Fto four (4) units per net acre, as defined through decisions by the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board (the Board), in order to adequately support urban services." The intent of the policy is to align the City's policies with the Growth Management Act, as it has been defined through decisions by the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board. The Council may remember that both the State of Washington Department of Community, Trade & Economic Development, as well as 1000 Friends of Washington have expressed concerns about the City's land use designations of less than four units per acre. In light of the GMA direction, and in anticipation of the upcoming staff work program to analyze areas designated less than four units per acre, staff proposes the following language for Policy LU-9.1: Where appropriate, establish urban residential densities of at least four (4) units per net developable acre in order to adequately support urban services.
