Subject: Code Amendments — Landscaping Requirements
[ZCA-2012-3]
For the November 26, 2012 Workshop
SUMMARY: Planning Services is submitting for Board consideration another group
of potential code amendments, in this case, those found in Kent City Code 15.07,
Landscaping Regulations (with related amendments to definitions in 15.02.086,
15.02.172 and 15.02.274). This section of code has been effective in ensuring that
landscaping needs for development are met; it generally includes appropriate
flexibility and is not difficult to administer or understand. However, some items
need amending to modernize the code, incorporate low impact development
techniques, and provide clarity where there is confusion. Staff presented a
preliminary list of these items at the October 81h workshop. Since the October 81h
workshop, staff has been further researching amendment items to provide further
information.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND: Staff presented a draft list of all potential code amendments at
the Land Use and Planning Board workshop on July 11, 2011, which included two
changes to Chapter 15.07, Landscaping Regulations. The attached code section
includes potential amendments that address the items on the list presented in July,
as well as many other items that have since been deemed appropriate for revision.
In addition, planning staff collaborated with other divisions and departments to
draft some of the amendment language in order to have a landscape code that also
encompasses the goals of other departments. The more significant amendments to
be considered include the following:
- Soil amendments: at the recommendation of Public Works, staff is proposing
that all new landscape areas incorporate soil amendments to allow for better
drainage and plant life. The soil amendments require that the top 12" of
existing soil be tilled and 2" of compost be incorporated into the tilled soil.
- Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED): crime prevention
techniques are to be incorporated into the development and landscape plan to
ensure that the opportunity for criminal activity is reduced.
2
LID (Low Impact Development): staff is proposing language that encourages
the use of LID techniques by allowing required landscaping to be integrated
with LID stormwater management facilities.
Reorganization: the general landscape requirements section has been
reorganized into three new sections for better use, and the regulations for
specific districts section have been integrated into a chart, which also includes
the types of landscaping that are required for each landscape area.
Types of Landscaping: the requirements in this chart have been revised to
allow more time for plants to create solid screens (three years instead of
two), require minimum plant sizes at time of planting, and require plant
spacing to be dependent upon the species.
Maintenance: language has been added that provides the option of obtaining
a landscape maintenance bond.
Staff will be present at the November 26th workshop to go over these items in more
detail.
