RE: Recreational Marijuana Zoning
For the May 12, 2014 Workshop
ISSUE: How should the City address and establish zoning regulations for
recreational marijuana producers, processors, and retailers?
BACKGROUND:
Initiative I-502 (I-502) was passed by Washington voters in November 2012 which
legalized the use of recreational marijuana. I-502 directed the Washington State
Liquor Control Board (LCB) to develop rules for the implementation of the licensing
provisions of I-502 for recreational marijuana producers, processors, and retailers,
and be the entity to issue state licenses. The LCB has since passed rules to
regulate of these uses. In general, these rules address the following (see also
Attachment 5.A and 53):
General requirements that apply to all licensees, such as:
o No licenses issued for personal residences
o Consumption of marijuana may not be permitted at the business
locations
o No marijuana business may be within 1,000 feet of the following uses:
• Elementary or secondary school;
• Playground;
• Recreational center or facility;
• Child care center;
• Public park;
• Public transit center;
• Library;
• Any game arcade (where admission is not restricted to persons
age 21 or older
o Security measures that include alarm system with sensors on all
perimeter entry points and windows, and video surveillance systems
MEMORANDUM: 2

• Requirements for marijuana producers, such as:
o Production may occur within a fully enclosed secure indoor facility; a
greenhouse with rigid walls, a roof, and doors; or outdoors with an 8'
sight obscuring wall or fence
o Maximum amounts of marijuana plant cover and maximum amount of
marijuana kept on-site
o Pesticide, fertilizers, and soil regulations
o Can only sell product at wholesale to marijuana processors
• Requirements for marijuana processors, such as:
o Maximum amounts of marijuana allowed on the premises
o Solid and liquid waste must be stored, managed, and disposed of in a
specified manner
o Restrictions on the solvents, equipment and methods used to make
marijuana extracts
o Packaging and labeling requirements
o Can only sell product to marijuana retailers
• Requirements for marijuana retailers, such as:
o No internet sales, delivery, mail orders, and drive-up window sales
o Not allowed within the location of another business
o Hours of operation limited to Sam — 12am
o Maximum 4 months of inventory allowed onsite
o Sign limitations (one sign, maximum 1,600 square inches)
The LCB also determined the maximum number of retail outlets to be licensed, per
jurisdiction. Kent is allotted up to three retailers. There is no maximum number of
licenses that will be issued by the LCB for marijuana producers and processors;
however, the maximum statewide production is limited to 2,000,000 square feet of
plant canopy.
It is important to note that I-502 is separate from medical marijuana regulations,
and the City is only considering zoning options at this time for recreational
marijuana producers, processors, and retailers. Medical marijuana collective
gardens are not permitted within City of Kent, per Kent City Code 15.08.290.
Possession, use, growth, and distribution of marijuana, whether it is for recreational
or medical use, are still illegal under Federal law. Marijuana remains a Schedule 1
drug under the Federal Controlled Substance Act.
Kent has a moratorium in place for recreational marijuana uses, in order to allow
the City of consider zoning options for marijuana producers, processors, and
retailers. The moratorium expires on November 27, 2014.
DISCUSSION:
The production, processing, and retail sale or marijuana has only recently become a
permitted activity under Washington state law. Colorado is the only other state
that permits the retail production, processing and sale of marijuana. Thus, the land
MEMORANDUM: 3

use impacts associated with state licensed production, processing and retail sale of
marijuana have not been definitively established, but do have potential impacts
that need to be taken into consideration. These may include the need for increased
security, ventilation, electricity, and safety. Odors impacting offsite or neighboring
uses may also be a concern. Retail locations may be a hot spot for increased crime,
especially since these businesses operate with cash only. Ultimately, the impacts
from commercial-scale marijuana uses are unknown at this time.
Neither I-502 nor the rules adopted by the LCB address the proper location within a
city for state licensed production, processing or retail sales facilities, other than a
1,000 foot buffer from elementary schools, secondary schools, playgrounds,
recreation centers, child care centers, public parks, transit centers, libraries, or
game arcades. In Washington State, many other cities have passed moratoriums,
established interim zoning regulations, established permanent zoning regulations,
or have decided to not allow recreational marijuana uses at all (see Attachment 4
for a summary chart).
The City of Kent has the authority to determine the appropriate uses of land
through its zoning authority. Staff has compiled several preliminary zoning options
as a starting point for the discussion of the regulation of recreational marijuana
uses. These options address the three types of marijuana business use (i.e.,
production, processing, and retail) separately. There is also an option to disallow
all types of marijuana use (see Attachment 1). Staff has prepared a map that
illustrates the locations that marijuana uses would be restricted by the LCB buffers
(Attachment 2). Also included are maps identifying crime "hot spots," prepared by
the Kent Police Department (Attachment 3).
The purpose of this workshop is to educate the Board on I-502, the Liquor Control
Board rules, and potential impacts and zoning options for recreational marijuana.
Staff will be available at the workshop to further these items.

Recreational Marijuana - Potential Zoning Options
Production:
WAC 314-55-075: "A marijuana producer license allows the licensee to
produce marijuana for sale at wholesale to marijuana processor licensees and
to other marijuana producer licensees. Marijuana production must take place
within a fully enclosed secure indoor facility or greenhouse with rigid walls, a
roof, and doors. Outdoor production may take place in nonrigid greenhouses,
other structures, or an expanse of open or cleared ground fully enclosed by a
physical barrier. To obscure public view of the premises, outdoor production
must be enclosed by a sight obscure wall or fence at least eight feet high.
Outdoor producers must meet security requirements described in WAC 314-
55-083.
Option A: do not allow marijuana production in any zoning district
Option B: allow marijuana production only in M3 General Industrial District
Kent City Code 15.03.010: "The purpose of the M3 district is to
provide areas suitable for the broadest range of industrial
activities, and to specify those industrial activities having
unusual or potentially deleterious operational characteristics,
where special attention must be paid to location and site
development. Light industrial uses which require restrictive
standards on the part of adjoining uses and non-industrial uses
are discouraged from locating in this district, in accordance with
the manufacturing/industrial center designation in the
comprehensive plan."
Option C: allow marijuana production in the same zoning districts as an
existing use in the zoning code: "Manufacturing, processing, blending, and
packaging of drugs, pharmaceuticals, toiletries, and cosmetics": CM-1, CM-2,
M1, M1-C, M2, M3, GWC
Processing:
WAC 314-55-077: "A marijuana processor license allows the licensee to
process, package, and label usable marijuana and marijuana-infused
products for sale at wholesale to marijuana retailers."
Option A: do not allow marijuana processing in any zoning district
Option B: allow marijuana processing only in M3 General Industrial District
Kent City Code 15.03.010 definition of M3: "The purpose of the
M3 district is to provide areas suitable for the broadest range of
6
industrial activities, and to specify those industrial activities
having unusual or potentially deleterious operational
characteristics, where special attention must be paid to location
and site development. Light industrial uses which require
restrictive standards on the part of adjoining uses and non-
industrial uses are discouraged from locating in this district, in
accordance with the manufacturing/industrial center designation
in the comprehensive plan."
Option C: allow marijuana processing in the same zoning districts as an
existing use in the zoning code: "Manufacturing, processing, blending, and
packaging of drugs, pharmaceuticals, toiletries, and cosmetics": CM-1, CM-2,
M1, M1-C, M2, M3, GWC
Retail:
WAC 314-55-079: "A marijuana retailer license allows the licensee to sell
only usable marijuana, marijuana-infused products, and marijuana
paraphernalia at retail in retail outlets to persons twenty-one years of age
and older."
Option A: do not allow marijuana retail sales in any zoning district
Option B: allow marijuana retail sales in the M1-C (Industrial Park/
Commercial) zoning district (definition of this zone is part of the M1
definition):
Kent City Code 15.03.010 definition of M1-C: "...It is also the
purpose of this zone to allow certain limited commercial land
uses that provide necessary personal and business services for
the general industrial area. Such uses are allowed in the M1
district, through the application of the "C"suffix, at centralized,
nodal locations where major arterials intersect."
Option C: allow marijuana retail sales in the same zoning districts as an
existing use in the zoning code: "liquor store": NCC, CC, DC, DCE, MTC-1,
MTC-2, MCR, CM-2, GC, M1-C, GWC
Other restrictions to consider:
a) "Marijuana producers, processors, and retailers shall not operate as an
accessory to a primary use or as a home occupation." This restriction
would prohibit operations from circumventing the zoning districts in
which these uses may be allowed by preventing them from being a
part of another use or operating out of a home, as a home occupation.
This additional language has been proposed in other jurisdictions as
well.
7
b) "All activities shall occur within an enclosed structure and shall be
designed, located, constructed, and buffered to blend in with its
surrounding and mitigate significant adverse impacts on adjoining
properties and the community, and special attention shall be given to
minimizing odor, noise, light, glare, and traffic impacts. Marijuana
uses shall be designed to include controls and features to prevent
odors from travelling off-site and being detected from a public right-of-
way, or other properties or uses." Marijuana production and
processing may create odor impacts to the surrounding area. "The
pungent odor from marijuana cultivation operations is objectionable to
many people. Offensive odors can easily migrate in and around the
marijuana cultivation site and some strains product odors that are
detectable in the surrounding neighborhood as well as adjacent
tenants" (Best Management Practices: Commercial Medical Marijuana
Cultivation, City of Denver, April 2011). Indoor facilities may be more
equipped to properly vent odors, as well as address security concerns.
Similar additional language has been proposed in other jurisdictions as
well.

WAC 314-55-015 General information about marijuana licenses. ( 1 )
A person or entity must meet certain qualifications to receive a mari-
juana license, which are continuing qualifications in order to main-
tain the license.
( 2 ) All applicants and employees working in each licensed estab-
lishment must be at least twenty-one years of age.

censed premises .
( 4 ) A marijuana license applicant may not exercise any of the
privileges of a marijuana license until the board approves the license
application.
( 5 ) The board will not approve any marijuana license for a loca-
tion where law enforcement access, without notice or cause, is limi-
ted. This includes a personal residence.
( 6) The board will not approve any marijuana license for a loca-
tion on federal lands .

tests . Labs meeting the board ' s accreditation requirements may re-
trieve samples from a marijuana licensee ' s licensed premises and
transport the samples directly to the lab.
( 9 ) Labs meeting the board ' s accreditation requirements are not
limited in the amount of useable marijuana and marijuana products they
may have on their premises at any given time, but they must have re-
cords to prove all marijuana and marijuana-infused products only for
the testing purposes described in WAC 314-55-102 .
( 10 ) At the discretion of the board, a producer or processor must
provide an employee of the board or their designee samples in the
amount listed in subsection ( 7 ) of this section for random compliance
checks . Samples may be screened for pesticides and chemical residues,
unsafe levels of metals, and used for other quality assurance tests
deemed necessary by the board. All costs of this testing will be borne
by the producer or processor.

passed the required quality assurance tests may be labeled as "Class
A. " Only "Class A" useable marijuana or marijuana-infused product will
be allowed to be sold.
( 13 ) If a lot of marijuana flowers fail a quality assurance test,
any marijuana plant trim, leaf and other usable material from the same
plants automatically fails quality assurance testing also . Upon appro-
val of the board, a lot that fails a quality assurance test may be
used to make a CO2 or solvent based extract . After processing, the CO2
or solvent based extract must still pass all required quality assur-
ance tests in WAC 314-55-102 .
( 14 ) At the request of the producer or processor, the board may
authorize a retest to validate a failed test result on a case-by-case
basis . All costs of the retest will be borne by the producer or the

licensee can expect if a licensee or employee violates a liquor con-
trol board law or rule. (WAC rules listed in the categories provide
reference areas, and may not be all inclusive. )
( 2 ) Penalties for violations by marijuana licensees or employees
are broken down into four categories :
( a ) Group One—Public safety violations, WAC 314-55-520 .
(b) Group Two—Regulatory violations, WAC 314-55-525 .
( c) Group Three—License violations, WAC 314-55-530 .
(d) Group Four—Producer violations involving the manufacture,
supply, and/or distribution of marijuana by nonretail licensees and
prohibited practices between nonretail licensees and retail licensees,
WAC 314-55-535 .
( 3 ) For the purposes of chapter 314-55 WAC, a three-year window
for violations is measured from the date one violation occurred to the
date a subsequent violation occurred.
( 4 ) The following schedules are meant to serve as guidelines .
Based on mitigating or aggravating circumstances, the liquor control
board may impose a different penalty than the standard penalties out-
lined in these schedules . Based on mitigating circumstances, the board
may offer a monetary option in lieu of suspension, or alternate penal-
ty, during a settlement conference as outlined in WAC 314-55-510 ( 3 ) .

WAC 314-55-520 Group 1 violations against public safety. Group 1
violations are considered the most serious because they present a di—
rect threat to public safety. Based on chapter 69 . 50 RCW, some viola—
tions have only a monetary option. Some violations beyond the first
violation do not have a monetary option upon issuance of a violation
notice . The liquor control board may offer a monetary option in lieu
of suspension days based on mitigating circumstances as outlined in

Frequently Asked Questions about the 1-502 Proposed Rules
Topic: Initiative 502
Updated: October 31, 2013
Note: New questions and answers are indicated with an asterisk
Licensing
When can I get my license?
BLS will begin accepting applications on November 18. The WSLCB will begin processing applications for
all three license types (producer, processor and retailer) for 30 days on November 20, 2013. Due to the
anticipated turnout and rush to obtain a license it is possible that the process may take longer than the
projected 90 days. The best way to stay up to date on the implementation process and when the
applications become available is to register for email notifications on the WSLCB website.
Why are you only accepting applications for 30 days?
Opening up the licensing window for 30 days affords anyone who is qualified to apply for a license the
opportunity to do so. Whether you are a small grower or larger company you will be given the same
opportunity to get a license. Closing the window after 30 days allows the Board the opportunity to assess
the market and see what changes, if any, are needed regarding the number of licenses. The Board may
also reopen the window at its discretion.
*When can I get an application?
Application documents will be available, both online and in hard copy, sometime after the Board accepts
the proposed rules, which is scheduled for October 16.
*What do I have to do to start my application?
To start the application process, and qualify within the 30 day licensing window, you will need to have a
location and file your application with Business Licensing Services.
How many producer and processor licenses will be issued?
Presently the WSLCB does not intend to limit the amount of producer or processor licenses it will issue.
The -CB will open a 30 day window in November where anyone can apply, and qualified applicants will
receive licenses.
*Can I have more than one license?
Any entity and/or principles within an entity are limited to no more than three marijuana licenses. Retail
marijuana license holders are limited to no more than three retail licenses with no more than 33% of the
allowed licenses in any county or city.
*Why did you limit the number of licenses per licensee?
Limiting the number of licenses any one entity can hold reduces the possibility that any one entity can
singlehandedly control the market.
* How many retail licenses will be issued?
334 retail licenses will be issued. The number of retail locations was determined using a formula that
distributes the number of locations proportionate to the most populous cities within each county.
ss
Locations not assigned to a specific city are at large. The specific locations will be selected by lottery in
the event the number of applications exceeds the allotted amount for the cities and county.
How will the lottery work?
WSLCB staff are developing the guidelines for the retail license lottery. As more information becomes
available we will notify stakeholders via the 1-502 Listserv.
If the local authority objects to my proposed location after filing my application can I move my
location without refiling?
Applicants will be able to change the location of a potential license if the local authority objects, as long as
the application is still in the processing stage, without filing a new application.
Will a criminal record impact my ability to get a license?
The WSLCB will employ a disqualifying criminal history point system similar to liquor. An exception would
be allowed for two misdemeanor convictions of possession within three years. A felony conviction will
prohibit you from obtaining a marijuana license if the conviction was in the last 10 years.
How do I prove three months residency?
There are many ways to prove residency. Some examples include:
• Get a Washington State driver's license or ID card, which has an issue date on it
• Present three months worth of utility bills, pay stubs, etc.
• Register to vote
You can find out more about state residency requirements at Access Washington.
How do I show I'm current on my taxes?
Prospective licensees will be required to sign an attestation that they are current on their taxes. Failure to
do so or misrepresentation of the status of your taxes is grounds to deny the application.
Can I get my$250 application fee back?
Marijuana application fees are non-refundable.
Is it true that the WSLCB is just going to license current medical marijuana outlets to retail
marijuana?
No. Retail licenses will be issued to qualified applicants who meet the licensing criteria. A medical
marijuana outlet that wants to convert to a recreational outlet will have to go through the same application
process as any other potential applicant. If they were to obtain a retail license they would only be allowed
to sell marijuana purchased from the recreational system, they would not be allowed to comingle medical
and recreational marijuana.
Can local jurisdictions prevent me from opening a location?
The LCB has no authority to dictate zoning requirements to local governments. Municipalities could
conceivably zone marijuana/related businesses out of their geographical area, check with your local
authority to understand their requirements.
Since there are a limited number of retail licenses available can I apply for a retail license and a
processor and/or producer license at the same time to ensure that I'm not left out and then
withdraw the processor and/or producer license application in the event that I get the retail
license?
67
No. Applicants must decide ahead of time which license type they are pursuing. If an applicant applies for
a retail license in addition to one of the other two license types all of the applications will be rejected.
Can I be a processor and a producer?
Yes. Licensees may hold a both a producer and processor license together.
Is there a producer/processor license?
No. Applicants must apply for, and obtain, both licenses separately and must pay the application and
renewal fees on both licenses.
Do I have to pay the 25%tax on sales between producer and processor if I hold both licenses?
No. If you hold a producer/processor license you avoid the 25% tax that would be applied to a producer to
processor sale.
Do I have to provide proof from my landlord that they are aware of how their property is being
used?
No. The provision requiring an applicant to provide a signed affidavit showing their landlord is aware of
the marijuana related business using their property has been removed.
There is a bus stop in front of my location; will that disqualify me from getting a license?
The rules define "public transit center" as a facility located outside of the public right-of-way that is owned
and managed by a transit agency or city, county, state, or federal government for the express purpose of
staging people and vehicles where several bus or other transit routes converge.
* Does a walking trail qualify as a park?
No. The Board has specifically addressed that a walking trail, such as a converted former rail line, does
not qualify as a park.
Can I have multiple locations?
Yes. However each location must be licensed separately and the licensee must meet the previously
mentioned requirements on license types.
* How will the WSLCB measure distance from a restricted area to a potential marijuana location?
Distance will be measured ^'^^^the McSt d F^^t ,t^ ^ estab!shed pub!^ ^" ^ ^tFeet^
greaadsef� an elementary or secondary school, playground, recreation center or facility, child care
center, public park, public transit center, library or arcade where admission is not restricted to those age
21 and older.
Important Note Regarding the 1,000 foot Measurement: The LCB will file an emergency rule on
October 16, 2013, that will revise the current language regarding the 1,000' buffer. The language in the
emergency rule will state: "The distance shall be measured as the shortest straight line distance from the
property line of the licensed premises to the property line of an elementary or secondary school,
playground, recreation center or facility, child care center, public park, public transit center, library or
arcade where admission is not restricted to those age 21 and older."
*Why did the Board change the exclusion zone measuring method from"most common legal
pathway"to"straight line?"
The Board, after receiving guidance from the federal government, changed the measuring method to
ensure that WLSCB rules match federal enforcement guidelines.
ss
If I'm providing financial backing do I have to be a resident?
Yes. Financiers will be required have three months Washington state residency and to pass the same
criminal background checks as a licensee.
Testing
How can I get my laboratory certified to test marijuana?
The LCB will contract (via the request for proposals process) with a firm who will be responsible for
accrediting labs.
How will I get my products tested?
The LCB will furnish a list, via our website, of accredited labs for producers to contract with for testing
services.
Traceability/Product
What is the traceability system?
A robust and comprehensive traceability software system will that will trace product from start to sale.
Licensees will have to use tracking software that is compatible with LCB's traceability system and allows
the LCB to monitor and track any plant at any time.
When do my plants need to be entered into the traceability system?
Prior to reaching eight inches in height or width each plant must be tagged and tracked individually
How do I obtain startup inventory?
Within fifteen days of starting production operations a producer must have all non-flowering marijuana
plants physically on the licensed premises and recorded into the traceability system. No flowering
marijuana plants may be brought into the facility during this fifteen day timeframe. After the 15 days pass,
a producer may only start plants from seed or create clones from a marijuana plant located physically on
their licensed premises, or purchase marijuana seeds, clones, or plants from another licensed producer.
Growing
Where can I grow?
• Indoors/Greenhouse
Fully enclosed secure indoor facility or greenhouse with rigid walls, a roof, and doors.
• Outdoor
Outdoor production may take place in non-rigid greenhouses, other structures, or an expanse of
open or cleared ground fully enclosed by a physical barrier. To obscure public view of the
premises, outdoor production must be enclosed by a sight obscure wall or fence at least eight
feet high. Outdoor producers must meet security requirements described in WAC 314-55-083.
Can a current farm just convert its crop to marijuana?
69
Converting a crop to marijuana would require a producer license and the farm would have to meet all of
the guidelines set forth in the rules pertaining to outdoor growing.
Can I grow in my personal residence?
No. The rules state that"the Board will not approve a license for any location where law enforcement
access, without notice or cause, is limited. This includes personal residences." Private residences are
afforded a degree of privacy under the 41" amendment of the U.S. Constitution that is incompatible with
the regulatory requirements of 1-502.
* How much marijuana can I keep on my licensed premise?
— Producer: Outdoor/Greenhouse—One and '/4 of a year's harvest, Indoor—six months harvest
— Processor: six months useable marijuana and total production
— Retailer: four months of average inventory
*As a producer how long do I have to hold my product before transporting it to a processor?
There is a mandatory 24 hour quarantine period. Previously this period was 72 hours.
How can I get my marijuana certified as organic?
Marijuana may not be labeled as organic unless permitted by the United States Department of Agriculture
in accordance with the Organic Foods Production Act.
Processing
Why can't I advertize marijuana's medical benefits?
The WSLCB is regulating the recreational marijuana market and does not evaluate the medical claims of
a recreational product. Prospective licensees who want to produce/market marijuana for medical
purposes should research Washington's medical marijuana laws.
How will you prevent children from accidentally ingesting marijuana products?
Marijuana infused products must be packaged in child resistant packaging in accordance with Title 16
CFR 1700 of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.
*Can I sell marijuana blends?
Yes, provided the marijuana lots that are being blended have been tested and that the labeling
requirements for each lot used in the blend are met.
What happened to the"Produced in Washington" icon?
During the public comment period the WSLCB heard a variety of comments on the icon and ultimately
decided to remove it from the rules. The intent of the icon was to provide parents, teachers, etc with a
visual aid that helped them readily identify a product as marijuana. Many of the comments were positive
and appreciated the WSLCB's work on this issue, while others were concerned that the icon may be seen
as promotional. The Board does reserve the ability to require an icon be included on packaging in the
future for public safety purposes if they deem it necessary.
* If my marijuana fails quality testing can I turn it into an extract?
Yes. With the Board's approval, marijuana that fails testing can be converted into an extract and sold
provided that the resulting extract passes quality/safety testing.
70
Why does the Board want to ban concentrates?
The Board's analysis believes that the definition of usable marijuana or infused product in 1-502 does not
cover concentrates. While the Board was willing to allow concentrates they are not inclined to break the
law to do so.
Does hash qualify as usable marijuana?
No. Under the definitions of 1-502 hash does not qualify as usable marijuana.
Can I infuse concentrates with an inert oil, or similar substance, and sell it?
Yes. This would qualify as a marijuana infused product.
What is the minimum level of added marijuana for a product to be considered a marijuana infused
product?
The Board has not set minimum thresholds for what constitutes an "infused" product.
*What is the serving size for infused extracts for inhalation? What is the transaction limit?
The serving size for infused extracts for inhalation is a unit, which may not exceed one gram. Customers
may purchase up to seven grams of marijuana infused extract for inhalation.
Retail
*Why can't I sell over the internet? Or have a delivery service?
The initiative states that all retail sales must take place in a licensed retail establishment. Neither internet
nor delivery sales qualify as retail establishments.
Can a medical marijuana outlet and a retail outlet share the same space?
No. The two operations would have to be separate. Retail outlets are only allowed to sell marijuana that
comes from a licensed processor and licensed processors are not allowed to sell to unlicensed entities,
such as a medical marijuana outlet.
Are there any restrictions on retail hours of operation?
Retail marijuana operations may take place between the hours of 8:OOAM and 12:OOAM.
Why can't I hold the marijuana before purchase?
1-502 is very clear that there can be no open containers of marijuana, or consumption of marijuana at
licensed locations. The WSLCB cannot write rules that contradict the law.
Why can't I smell the marijuana before purchase?
Retail licensees are allowed to provide a sample jar with a plastic or metal mesh screen to allow
customers the ability to smell the product before purchasing. Opened marijuana products are not allowed
inside a licensed retail outlet.
*Can I producelsell THC infused alcohol (i.e. THC infused vodka)?
No. The initiative is clear that retail outlets may only sell marijuana, marijuana infused products and
marijuana paraphernalia. To sell alcohol in Washington you would need a liquor license which would
violate the above provisions.
Miscellaneous
71
Will the WSLCB be setting prices?
No. The WSLCB will not set prices but licensees are not allowed to sell marijuana products below their
acquisition cost.
*As a licensee can I test my product for quality?
Licensees are allowed to test for quality under the specific requirements set forth in WAC 314-55-083(6).
Those requirements limit the amount of product that can be tested, how often testing can take place, and
the reporting requirements by license and product type.
Can I provide samples?
Producers are allowed to provide samples to a processor and processors are allowed to provide samples
to a retailer. Retailers are not allowed to supply samples to the public.

Subject: Downtown Design Guidelines Update (ZCA 2014-1) (KIVA-RPP6-2130117)
Workshop — May 12, 2014
INTRODUCTION:
The 2003 Downtown Design Review Guidelines (DDRG) help to implement the Downtown
Subarea Action Plan's (DSAP) vision for downtown as a vibrant, livable, urban center that is
pedestrian-friendly and enjoyed by the entire community. The recently updated DSAP
expanded the study area boundary of downtown west of SR-167 and north of James along
Central Avenue north. To support the new DSAP, the design guidelines and Kent City Code
need to be updated. The workshop will focus on proposed revisions to the Pedestrian Plan
Overlay Map, Kent City Code 15.09.046, and additional revisions to the DDRG.
BACKGROUND:
The Downtown Design Guidelines have been presented to the LU&PB at three previous
workshops, two of which were project updates. On April 28, 2014, the LU&PB considered
and made comments on proposed text revisions to the design guidelines. This meeting will
consider revisions to the Pedestrian Plan Overlay Map which includes areas west of SR-167
and north of James along Central Avenue north; revisions to Kent City Code 15.09.046
Downtown Design Review; and additional text revisions to the Downtown Design Guidelines
with the new revisions highlighted in yellow.
Staff will present the proposed revisions at the May 121h workshop. If there are any
questions prior to the workshop, please contact Gloria Gould-Wessen at 253.856.5441.

15.09.046 Downtown design review.
A. Purpose and scope.
1. Downtown design review is an administrative process, the purpose of which is to
implement and give effect to the downtown pla4subarea action plan, its policies or parts
thereof- thr�The f downtown design guidelines, asset forth in
subsection (D) of this section apply to all-fsF development located within the downtown
area, to the-uvesut-S4etf�y-eke
se t#—TF t tt sts identified in the downtown
strategi�C-subarea action plan, and as+s shown on the map following this section.
It is the intent of the city that this process will serve to aid applicants in understanding
the principal expectations of the city concerning development in the downtown planning
area and encourage a diversity of imaginative solutions to development through the
review and application of the downtown design guidelines. These guidelines have been
formulated to ensure that the design, siting, and construction of development will
provide a quality pedestrian-oriented urban environment in a manner consistent with
established land use policies, the comprehensive plan, and the zoning code of the city.
2. The adoption of the downtown design guidelines is an element of the city's regulation
of land use, which is statutorily authorized. The downtown design review process
adopted herein is established as an administrative function delegated to the city's
planning services office pursuant to RCW Title 35A. Therefore, in implementing the
downtown design review process, the planning manager may adopt such rules and
procedures as are necessary to provide for review of proposed projects.
3. All development within the downtown area shall be subject to the provisions
of this section.
4. The downtown design review process is distinct from the multifamily design review
process set forth in KCC 15.09.045. Applications for multifamily development within the
DC, DCE, CC-MU and 9LAA IVIRT-16 zoning districts shall be subject to the provisions
120
of KCC 15.09.045 in addition to the provisions of this section, except as provided in
KCC 15.09.045(E). However, the provisions of this section shall prevail in cases where
a conflict may arise between the requirements of the two (2) sections.
B. Application and review process. The downtown design review process is administrative and is
conducted as part of the permit review process. The applicant must make application for the design
review process on forms provided by planning services. Upon receipt of an application for design
review, the planning manager shall circulate the application to the appropriate city departments and
offices for review. Prior to issuing a final decision, the planning manager shall review any comments
submitted for consideration. In the administration of this process, planning services may develop
supplementary handbooks forthe public, which shall pictorially illustrate and provide additional
guidance on the interpretation of the criteria set forth in the downtown design guidelines.
C. Design review committee. There is hereby established the downtown design review committee,
which shall make all final decisions on applications with a construction valuation over$100,000 for
downtown design review. The committee shall be comprised of three (3) members, who shall be
appointed by the planning manager under the authority delegated to him under RCW Title 35A. The
members shall serve at the pleasure of the planning manager. The planning manager shall, by
administrative rule, establish the rules of procedure for the committee, which shall be made available
to the public upon publication.
D. Downtown design guidelines—Adoption. The downtown design review committee shall use the
downtown design guidelines in the evaluation and/or conditioning of applications under the downtown
design review process. The downtown design guidelines, entitled "Kent Downtown Design Guidelines,"
fFl{tta�-y-pf2p8fC"' aFlR{R�-�vEtFWSe�v-fR£9��3 Ft 6tNFEe-c�Rd
a+ s-t#erets-are hereby adopted by this reference as authorized pursuant to RCW 35A.12.140
and shall be placed on file in the offices of the city clerk and planning services.
E. Appeals. The decision of the downtown administrative design review committee to approve,
condition, or reject any application under the downtown design review process is final unless an
appeal is made to the hearing examiner within fourteen (14) calendar days of either the issuance of the
committee's conditional approval or rejection of any application under this section. Appeals to the
hearing examiner shall be conducted as set forth in Chapter 2.32 KCC. The decision of the hearing
121
examiner shall be final, unless an appeal is made to the King County superior court, within twenty-one
(21) calendar days of the date of the decision.
