Council President Dennis Higgins stood in for councilmember Ranniger in her absence. Perry called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. 1. Approval of Minutes Councilmember Boyce Moved and Councilmember Higgins Seconded a Motion to approve the July 9, 2012 Minutes. Motion PASSED 3-0. 2. KCC 12.01, 12.04, and 2.32 Code Amendments rZCA-2011-1(B) Planner Katie Graves stated that this is another component of the major undertaking to update Kent's zoning and subdivision codes chapter by chapter and reflect the Council's strategic plan to transform regulatory processes to increase efficiencies. She stated that amendments to Chapter 12.01 Administration of Development Regulations are intended to eliminate barriers to the current process, clarify code, and facilitate timely and efficient processing of applications, issuance of permits and expiration timelines. Graves stated that these amendments were discussed at the July meeting and at direction from the Committee staff has revised language relating to the expiration of permits - adding the requirement that application forms reference expiration standards and that expiration dates are noted on the actual permits, additionally removing language requiring 30 day notification by the City of expiration dates for applications and permits. After deliberating, Councilmember Higgins MOVED to recommend to the City Council approval of the amendments to Chapters 12.01, 12.04, and 2.32 relative to permit process procedures and requirements of Kent City Code as recommended by the Land Use and Planning Board, as amended extending the resubmittal time period from 90 to 180 days, and recommending approval of the additional language in Chapter 12.01.185 where it states that "The application and instruction forms will reference the expiration standards of this section, where applicable." and "The issued permit or land use approvals will clearly state this requirement for expiration, where applicable." Councilmember Boyce SECONDED the Motion. Motion PASSED 3-0. 3. KCC 15.02, 15.05, and 15.07 Code Amendments rZCA-2012-11 Planner Katie Graves stated that these proposed amendments pertain to Kent City Code (KCC) 15.05 relating to off-street parking and loading areas and associated amendments to 15.05, amending Section 15.07.040 and adding a new Section 15.02.331. Graves stated that these amendments modernize the parking codes, bring the code up to date with trends in the standards, allow for low impact environmentally friendly development, and provide clarity where there is confusion. These amendments are the same as originally proposed at the July llth meeting. After deliberating, Councilmember Boyce MOVED to recommend to City Council approval of amendments to Title 15.05, 15.07.040, and 15.02.331 of Kent City Code as recommended by the Land Use and Planning Board. Higgins SECONDED the motion. Motion PASSED 3-0. 4. Neiahborhood Urban Centers Planning Manager Charlene Anderson stated that this presentation is to provide a context for the Council's strategic goal of creating Neighborhood Urban Centers (NUC). She stated that Kent has three main commercial districts excluding Downtown and the new Midway areas. She explained that the General Commercial District (GC) is more destination retail. Community Commercial and Neighborhood Convenience Commercial (NCC) are more limited. The NCC zoned areas are likely to be the current focus of attention. In 2003 City Council amended development standards for the NCC zone making drive-thru uses ECDC Minutes August 13,2012 2 accessory only, increasing the building area, establishing design techniques, modifying signage and landscaping to enhance compatibility between NCC and surrounding residential. Anderson spoke about Kent's efforts to initiate Phase II of a complete zoning code update (beginning with commercial) in 2007. That effort was postponed in 2009 to simplify the scope of work for that project and to divert staff resources to other priorities. However, many of the themes from the 2007 work may still be relevant, i.e. good design, economic vibrancy, pedestrian orientation, mix of uses, and considering impacts on residential uses and schools. Anderson depicted half-mile radii around some existing commercial and office zones and described what is considered typical walkability distances. She cited statistics on how many households it would take to support a corner grocery store, or a neighborhood retail center. She described the intensity of the built environment on the land. Anderson spoke about the University of Washington's (UW) research which found that approximately 2000 households are typical for a grocery store on a countywide basis. Anderson referenced the ULI article which suggested that the long term goals of 1,000 to 2,000 households per quarter-mile walking distance is what it takes to support a corner grocery. In addition to number of households, safety, walkability, design and amenities, parking lots and pedestrian access need to be considered. Income can also be a factor. Anderson spoke about the attributes of several intersections within the half-mile and mile radii. Those intersections include: 2401h and 132"' (14 acres), Kent Kangley and 132"' (32 acres), and 1161h and 2401h (10.5 acres). Anderson showed a sidewalk assessment from the Transportation Master Plan and discussed the importance of sidewalks to promote commercial viability and provide good pedestrian connection. Another component for consideration is a composite of walk to school routes, population and employment density, populations below poverty level and with disabilities. Anderson described the difference between CC and NCC zoning. CC limits commercial activities, allows drive-thru's, large item retail and indoor public assembly, serves several residential neighborhoods and is generally bordered by higher densities so walkability is very important. NCC allows small retail and service activities convenient to a residential area where there is ready access to everyday convenience goods, does not allow drive- thru's except for personal service via a conditional use permit. The NCC zoned areas should be the most walkable but that's not currently the case. Anderson stated that the Economic Development Plan Phase I presented suggestions and themes for improving the economic environment throughout Kent for commercial. She noted suggestions for branding, anchors, marketing, safety improvements, building quality, streetscapes and encouraging residential. Anderson spoke about the importance of density, pedestrian and bike connections and some strategies that could be used to make existing commercial areas the best they can be: good design, safety, creating special districts, the use of incentives to resolve trade leakage issues. Anderson spoke about how Portland and Eugene, Oregon regulate commercial development pertaining to corner stores; stating that Portland has over 30 planning districts, with each district regulating development differently. She stated that Eugene allows commercial uses in Planned Unit Developments (PUD) or in higher density areas by Conditional Use Permits (CUP). The commercial must be meshed strategically with the residential. Anderson asked for council comments on the use of commercial strategies and what the focus should be to guide the work within Kent's existing commercial areas. For example, there could be zoning and land use changes, development standards, branding, economic development, infrastructure improvements, code enforcement, transitioning of uses where there is no appropriate current market population, or implementing public/private pilot projects in specific areas. Anderson questioned whether the City should improve existing commercial areas or create new ones, and where? Given financial and staffing resources, would a comprehensive targeted approach be most feasible, focusing planning, grant applications, infrastructure improvements, and code enforcement in one area and then strategically moving on to another area? ECDC Minutes August 13,2012 3 Economic and Community Development Director Ben Wolters concurred with Councilmember Boyce's idea to focus on one area to see what might work, and taking into account the unique characteristics of any given location with both its challenges and opportunities. He stated that this might be the way to show progress in a certain area then learn how the city might apply it elsewhere. Wolters stated that he believes staff would like to establish some basic guiding principles related to Kent City Code then get more specific in a given area. Wolters encouraged the Committee to give feedback to staff on their thoughts, talk with the community on what they would like to see, and asked the Committee to report on where they would like to see potential activities thinking about it as they go about daily activities. Wolters discussed the potential for development for the Kent Kangley and 132"' Lake Meridian Shopping Center site as suggested by Councilmember Boyce. Boyce stated that staff should consider the 1161h and 2401h area to develop a neighborhood commercial center with something unique not found elsewhere. Councilmember Higgins stated that business owners are interested in the creation of an international district at Benson and 2401h. Much of the retail space is performing below its potential and minor infrastructure improvements would create appeal. Councilmember Perry stated that she feels walkable communities and urban centers mean reducing the scope of big nodes and creating smaller nodes throughout neighborhoods. She suggested the Lake Meridian area at 2561h and 132"' for development. Wolters stated that city staff conducted a large amount of research over the past three years on a planning effort that though initially aborted is now being rekindled. Wolters stated that staff will incorporate some of the Committee's suggestions in their approach and come back to the Committee with some guidelines for this project. Higgins suggested developing areas of Panther Lake which could assist with building the city's tax base. Boyce suggested the Panther Lake School area as good potential. Perry suggested an option where underused areas could be developed through a Conditional Use Permit without the need to change zoning. Wolters suggested taking the approach of conducting a demonstration ordinance similar to the process used to develop cottage housing. Informational Only 3. Economic Development Report and Permit Process Update Wolters assured Perry that he would report back to her once he receives a response regarding the status of the Town Square Apartments. Wolters reported that he spoke with ShoWare Center Manager Tim Higgens who indicated that sales have been good for the Skate America event and the community is embracing this event. Wolters stated that Kent is making progress on a number of new recruitments and retentions and there continues to be activity bubbling under the surface in a positive way. Wolters stated that staff is putting finishing touches on a 1 million dollar grant with the State that will support jobs and improve connectivity as it will be used for a bike trail connection between the Interurban Trail and REI Headquarters. Perry stated that the Lodging Tax Committee allocated $10,000 to support marketing outreach for Skate America. Kent Downtown Partnership is looking at hanging welcome banners and considering renting a trolley for the 4 day event to transport people from down town Kent, to ShoWare and to the hotels.

Kent, WA 98032-5895 October 1, 2012 To: Chair Jamie Perry and Economic & Community Development Committee From: Katie Graves, Planner Subject: 12.05 Code Amendments [ZCA-2012-2] Changes to the Mobile Home Park code For the meeting of October 8, 2012 MOTION: Recommend to the City Council approval of amendments to Kent City Code Title 12.05, Mobile Home Park Code as recommended by the Land Use & Planning Board. SUMMARY: After holding a public hearing on August 131h, the Land Use & Planning Board recommended approval of code amendments to Title 12.05 of Kent City Code. These amendments address minor changes to the mobile home park code. This section of code is not widely used; a majority of it establishes guidelines for new mobile home parks, which are not commonly proposed. However, some items need amending for consistency with current code enforcement regulations, definitions noted elsewhere in code, and the existing permit process. BACKGROUND: Clarifying requirements, removing ambiguity in the code, updating the code for consistency with state laws and regulations, and modernizing standards provide consistency for applicants and city departments when proposed development projects are being designed and reviewed. Furthermore, these amendments are undertaken as part of the City Council's initiative to transform regulatory processes in order to increase operating efficiencies. This group of proposed code amendments includes items such as revised code enforcement references, updated definitions, and updates to the review process for mobile home parks for consistency with the existing permit process. Staff will be available at the meeting to answer questions. The SEPA Responsible Official has determined that the proposed amendments are procedural in nature and thus categorically exempt from further SEPA review under WAC 197-11-800(19) and 11.03.200 Kent City Code.

The docketing process is required by the Growth Management Act and is provided in Chapter 12.02 of the Kent City Code (KCC). BUDGET IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: The Growth Management Act outlines a procedure that assists the public in making suggested amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, development regulations, and growth policies on an annual basis. "Docketing" refers to compiling and maintaining a list of suggested changes to the Comprehensive Plan or development regulations to ensure they will be considered by the City and will be available for review by the public. The deadline for filing a docket item is the first business day of September. The 2012 Annual Docket Report contains four (4) items submitted for consideration this year (see attached). No docketed items remain from previous years because they were either completed or will be considered with required updates to other planning documents. This information is being presented for your information only. Staff will return to the ECDC in November with a recommendation on whether any of the items should move forward to the Planning Services work program for 2013. Staff will be available to discuss the 2012 docket report at the October 81h ECDC meeting.

The WSP is used to assess existing systems for compliance with standard operating requirements and to plan for future growth; it must be updated every six years. The 2011 Water System Plan includes a review of the existing water distribution infrastructure, water supply, water storage, well head protection measures, and water system standards, policies and procedures. It also includes future demand projections based on land use forecasts and population growth. The plan identifies and prioritizes improvements required to maintain and operate a reliable water system, and to meet Washington State Department of Health, Washington State Department of Ecology and Kent Fire Code regulations. City of Kent staff, with consultants, has completed the 2011 WSP. This plan is the framework for showing the financial viability of the Kent Water system and for funding improvements, maintenance, and replacement needs of the city's water system for the next 6 years. The 2011 WSP was approved by the Kent City Council in August 2012. City staff completed a draft 2008 Comprehensive Water System Plan which was adopted by the Kent City in September 2008. The Public Works Director was authorized to proceed with final approval of the Plan through the DOH - Office of Drinking Water. Due to the number of comments from King County on the draft 2008 comprehensive Water System Plan, and related follow-up, the final plan was not approved by DOH until July 2011. DOH allowed the City to prepare the final as the 2011 Water System Plan, which means the next Water System Plan Update is not required until 2017. The final approved 2011 WSP must be incorporated into the Kent Comprehensive Plan. The 2011 WSP covers the City of Kent Water System service area which may not always match incorporated boundaries of the City. Water Districts, which have their own WSP, may provide municipal water to some portions of the City. Adoption of the approved WSP is consistent with Washington State Growth Management Act and Countywide Planning Policies. Adopting this plan does not have significant changes that would impact development. 47 This page intentionally left blank. 48 I1r''atA®n fi'&Services Locafion 400 W Gowe Mall fo:�220 4th Avenue South Kent WA 98032 5895 ® Permit Center(263)856 5302 FAX.,(253)856 6412 &k',ent wa.us/pdrmltcenter . erygggg �,qp pq� to a Comprehensive Plan Please Print in black ink only. and Devegopment Regulations Application Name: moo 11s C Docket • V'K_k -2C5t2--3 OFFIOE UV ONY �l �/J ( p, OFFICE USE ONLY Date Application Received: ✓ `U' 0�1 b"Necei4red by: Applicant: Name: Kent Fire Department RFA Daytime Phone: 253-856-4300 Mailing Address: 24611 116th Ave SE Fax Number: 253- -6300 City/State/Zip: Kent, WA 98030 Signatu s Ohs Fire Chief Professional License No: E-mail: J schneider@kentfirerfa.org Agent/Consultant/Attorney: (mandatory if primary contact is different from applicant) Name:.Larry Rabel, Captain Daytime Phone:2 5 3-8 56-4446 Mailing Address: 24611 116th Ave SE Fax Number: 253-856-6400 City/State/Zip: KRPt, WA 98030 E-mail: lrabel@kentfirerfa.org Signature�> r Please provide a statement in the space provided below or on an attached sheet as needed for the suggested change(s)to the comprehensive plan or development regulations with regards to the relevant criteria listed below: Detailed statement of the proposal and reason How the change would be compliant with the for the amendment; Growth Management Act; • Anticipated impacts of the change, including How the change would be compliant with the the geographic area affected and issues Countywide Planning Policies; and presented; How functional plans (e.g. subarea plans, utility • Why existing comprehensive plan and plans) and capital improvement programs (e.g. development regulations should not continue in transportation improvement program) support effect or why existing criteria no longer apply; the change.
