Subject: Proposed Changes to Capital Facilities Element of Kent Comprehensive PIan
The following is a summary of the proposed changes to the Capital Facilities Element of the City
of Kent Comprehensive Plan.
Introduction / Background and Analysis
The only change proposed on pages 8-1 thru 8-5 is to update the six year plan period from 1994-
1999 to 1997-2002. The proposed changes on page 8-6 show the actual process used to select a
specific level of service to be the adopted standard.
Current Facilities Inventory
Several changes are necessary to update the Current Facilities Inventories on pages 8-7 thru 8-12.
The increases in inventory are primarily due to property acquired as a result of the Meridian
annexation and additional purchases since the Comprehensive Plan was developed and adopted.
Corrections Facility_
No Changes
Fire and Emergency Services
The City has acquired two fire stations from King County Fire District #37, increasing the total
number of stations owned by the City to six. Station 72 has two fire/aid units in service and a
capacity for three and Station 75 has one fire/aid unit in service and capacity for three. King
County Fire District #37 now owns only one fire station, Station 77, within the unincorporated
Urban Growth Area of Kent..
Police / Fire Training Center
No Changes
City Administrative Office - General Government
The Centennial Building and Municipal Court facility are no longer leased. The City purchased
the Centennial Building (71,949 square feet) and the Municipal Court facility (4,251 square feet)
in June 1996.
City Administrative Offices - Police Headquarters
No Changes
City Maintenance Facilities
No Changes
Parks and Recreation Facilities
The City of Kent now owns and manages 147.2 acres of neighborhood park land and 972.0 acres
of community park land within the current City limits, which is an overall increase of 210.7
acres. The number of acres within the current City limits owned by King County decreased from
6.1 acres to 0.5 acres. Within the unincorporated Urban Growth Area (UGA) of Kent, King
County owns 720.3 acres of park land, which is a reduction of 87.5 acres. These acres are now
included in the City of Kent inventory as a result of the Meridian annexation.
Golf Courses
No Changes
Sanitary Sewer Facilities
No Changes
Stormwater Management Facilities
The total drainage area of the City has increased from 19 square miles to 25.42 square miles.
Water Supply, Distribution, and Storage Facilities
No change to the water service area of 27 square miles. The last paragraph on page 8-11 has
been changed to mention the update of the Water System Comprehensive Plan that is scheduled
in 1997.
Transportation Facilities
The City's current road system inventory has increased from 164 total land miles to 254.9 total
land miles and is divided into four major categories of roads; 40.5 miles of principal arterials;
91.0 miles of minor arterials; 94.4 miles of collector arterials, and 29.0 miles of local roads. The
pedestrian transportation inventory will be updated after a physical inventory of the Meridian
annexation area is completed.
The following maps are currently being revised to show the above inventory changes:

Analysis of Impacts
Tables 8.1 and 8.2 in the Analysis of Impacts section (pages 8-13 and 8-14) are updated to reflect
the 1997-2002 Capital Facilities Plan. Total project costs have increased from $129,319,000 for
1994-1999 to $181,516,000 for 1997-2002. Revenue sources have increased from $131,292,000
for 1994-1999 to $181,516,000 for 1997-2002.
Level of Service Consequences of the CFP on page 8-15 are currently being evaluated.
CHAPTER EIGHT CAPFFAL FACILITIES ELEMENT
CHAPTER EIGHT �c�(�r0?
CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
The capital facilities element contains a summary of the Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) for
the City of Kent. The element consists of the following information: (1) statements of
requirements, level -of -service (LOS) standards, guidelines, and criteria that are used to
develop and implement the CFP; (2) inventories of existing facilities; (3) maps showing
the locations of existing facilities; and (4) a list of proposed capital projects, including
a financing plan, future operating costs, and reconciliation of project capacity and LOS
standards. The complete CFP and supporting- documents are available for review at the
City of Kent Planning Department.
The CFP is a required element of the City's comprehensive plan, mandated by the
Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). The GMA requires cities and
counties to approve and maintain a CFP which includes requirements for specific types
of capital facilities, LOS standards, financial feasibility, and assurance that adequate
facilities will be provided as development occurs.
As required by the GMA, the CFP is a 6 -year plan for capital improvements that support
the City's current and future population and employment growth. It contains LOS
standards for each public facility, and requires that new development is served by
adequate facilities. The CFP also contains broad goals and specific policies that guide
and implement the provision of adequate public facilities. The capital facilities element
is the element that makes real the rest of the comprehensive plan. By establishing LOS
as the basis for providing capital facilities and for achieving concurrency, the CFP
determines the quality of life in the community. The requirement to fully finance the
CFP provides a reality check on the vision set forth in the comprehensive plan. The
capacity of capital facilities that are provided in the CFP affects the size and
configuration of the urban growth area.
The purpose of the CFP is to use sound fiscal policies to provide adequate public
facilities in a manner consistent with the land use element and at a time concurrent with
KENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 8-1
CAPITAL FACLII7ES ELEMENT CHAPTER EIGHT
(or prior to) the impacts of development. These capital facilities propose to achieve and
maintain adopted standards for LOS in order to maintain the quality of life for existing
and future development. The plan fulfills the GMA requirement for facilities planning;
but, in addition, the plan serves' as a base for good city management and establishes
eligibility for grants and loans. It provides coordination among the City's many plans
for capital improvements, including other elements of the comprehensive plan, master
plans of departmental service providers, and facilities plans of the state, the region, and
adjacent local jurisdictions.
Requirements of the Growth Management Act
The GMA requires the CFP to identify public facilitii .s that will be required during the
six years following adoption of the new plan through �- The CFP must
include the location and cost of the facilities, and the sources of revenue that will be used
to fund the facilities. The CFP must be financially feasible; in other words, dependable
revenue sources must equal or exceed anticipated costs. If the costs exceed the revenue,
the City must reduce its level of service, reduce costs, or modify the Iand use element
to bring development into balance with available or affordable facilities.
Other requirements of the GMA mandate forecasts of future needs for capital facilities
and the use of standards for levels of service of facility capacity as the basis for public
facilities contained in the CFP (see RCW 36.70A.020 (12)J. As a result, public facilities
in the CFP must be based on quantifiable, objective measures of capacity, such as traffic -
volume capacity per mile of road and acres of park per capita.
One of the goals of the GMA is to have capital facilities in place concurrent with
development. This concept is known as concurrency (also called "adequate public
facilities"). In the City of Kent, concurrency requires 1) facilities which serve the
development to be in place at the time of development (or for some types of facilities,
a financial commitment to be made to provide the facilities within a specified period of
time) and 2) facilities which serve the development to have sufficient capacity to serve
the development without decreasing LOS below minimum standards adopted in the CFP.
The GMA requires concurrency for transportation facilities. The GMA also requires all
other public facilities to be "adequate" (see RCW 19.27.097, 36.70A.020, 36.70A.030,
and 58.17.110). Concurrency management procedures will be developed to ensure that
sufficient public facility capacity is available for each proposed development.
8-2 KENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CHAPTER EIGHT CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT
After the CFP is completed and adopted as part of the comprehensive plan, the City must
adopt development regulations to implement the plan. The development regulations will
provide detailed regulations and procedures for implementing the requirements of the
plan.
Each year, the City must update the CFP. The anal update will be completed before
the City's budget is adopted in order to incorporate into the budget the capital
improvements from the updated CFP.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
LOS (SCENARIO-DRIVEM METHOD OF ANALYSIS
.Explanation of Levels of Service
Levels of service usually are quantifiable measures of the amount of public facilities that
are provided to the community. Levels of service also may measure the quality of some
public facilities.
Typically, measures of LOS are expressed as ratios of facility capacity to demand (i.e.,
actual or potential users).
The following chart lists examples of LOS measures for some capital facilities.

Water quality
Each of these LOS measures needs one additional piece of information: the specific
quantity that measures the current or proposed LOS. For example, the standard for
parks might be 5 acres per 1,000 population; but the current LOS may be 2.68 acres per
1,000, which is less than the standard.
In order to make use of the LOS method, the City selects the way in which it will
measure each facility (i.e., acres, gallons, etc.). It also identifies the amount of the
current and proposed LOS standard for each measurement.
There are other ways to measure the LOS of many of these capital facilities. The
examples in the previous chart are provided to give greater depth to the following
discussion of the use of LOS as a method for determining the City's need for capital
facilities.
Method for Using Levels of Service
The LOS method answers two questions in order to develop a fmancially-feasible CFP.
The GMA requires the CFP to be based on standards for service levels that are
measurable and financially feasible for the six fiscal years following adoption of the plan.
The CFP must meet the City's capital needs for the fiscal years f994 through 3999:
�2-
The two questions that must be answered in order to meet the GMA requirements are:
(1) What is the quantity of public facilities that will be required by the end of the 6th
year (i.e., 19996)?
;M}
(2) Is it financially feasible to provide the quantity of facilities that are required by
the end of the 6th year (i.e., }999)?
Xba-
&4 KEN' COMPREHENSNE PLAN
CHAPTER EIGHT CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT
The answer to each question can be calculated by using objective data and formulas.
Each type of public facility is examined separately (i.e., roads are examined separately C�
from parks). The costs of all the types of facilities then are added together in order to
determine the overall financial feasibility of the CFP. A detailed explanation of the
formulas used is contained in the Capital Facilities Plan. One of the CFP support
documents, Capital Facilities Requirements, contains the results of the use of this
method.
Setting the Standards for Levels of Service
Because the need for capital facilities is determined largely by the adopted LOS, the key
to influencing the CFP is to influence the selection of.the LOS standards. LOS standards
are measures of the quality of life of the community. The standards should be based on
the community's vision of its future and its values. Traditional approaches to capital
facilities planning rely on technical experts (i.e., staff and consultants) to determine the
need for capital improvements. In the scenario -driven approach, these experts play an
important advisory role, but they do not control the determination. Their role is to define
and implement a process for the review of various scenarios, to analyze data, and to
make suggestions based on technical considerations.
The final, legal authority to establish the LOS rests with the City Council because the
City Council enacts the LOS standards that reflect the community's vision. The City
Council's decision should be influenced by recommendations of the 1) PI�nnino
Commission; 2) providers of public facilities (i.e., local government departments, special
districts, private utilities, the State of Washington, tribal governments, etc.); 3) formal
advisory groups that make recommendations to the providers of public facilities (i.e.,
community planning groups); 4) the general public through individual citizens and
community civic, business, and issue -based organizations that make their views known
or are sought through sampling techniques.
The scenario -driven approach to developing the LOS standards provides decision -makers
and anyone else who wishes to participate with a clear statement of the outcomes of
various LOS for each type of public facility. This approach reduces the tendency for
decisions to be controlled by expert staff or consultants, opens up the decision-making
process to the public and advisory groups, and places the decisions before the City
Council.

SANITARY SEWER FACILITIES
The sewer service area of the City of Kent encompasses 23 square miles, and includes
most of the incorporated City, as well as adjacent franchise areas within unincorporated
King County. Since the existing collection system already serves most of the City's
service area, expansion of this system will occur almost entirely by infill development,
which will be accomplished primarily through developer extensions and local
improvement districts. In general, the existing sewer system is sized based on existing
standards which will carry peak flows which will be generated by the service area for
ultimate development. However, the City of Kent Comprehensive Sewerage Plan has
identified various undersized lines, as well as others that require rehabilitation.
A complete inventory of Sanitary Sewer facilities is found in the City of Kent
Comprehensive Sewerage Plan.
The Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle (Metro) has assumed the responsibility for
interception, treatment, and disposal of wastewater from the City of Kent and its
neighboring communities. Therefore, the City does not incur any direct capacity -related
capital facilities requirements or costs for sanitary sewer treatment. The voluminous
inventory of current Sanitary Sewer facilities is on file with the City's Department of
Public Works. j

MRMWATER MANAGEV= FACILITIES
The City of Kent lies primarily within the Green River Watershed, which encompasses
480 square miles and the total drainage area of the City is 19- �u1es which
includes most of the incorporated city, as well as the adjacent franchise areas within
unincorporated King County. The eight major watershed areas include (1) Green River;
(2) Lake Fenwick; (3) Midway; (4) Mill Creek (Kent); (5) Mill Creek (Auburn); (6)
Mullen Slew; (7) Springbrook-Garrison Creek; (8) Star Lake. The City has operated a
stormwater utility since 1981 as a means of financing the construction, operation, and
maintenance of the surface water management program. Conveyance systems in both the
"hillside" and "valley" areas must convey at minimum the 25 year storm event. The

WATER SUPPLY, DISTRIBUTION, AND STORAGE FACILITIES
The water service area of the City encompasses 27 square miles. This area includes
most of the incorporated City, as well as adjacent franchise areas within unincorporated
King County. To the east, the service area boundary coincides with the boundary of
Water District No. 111 and Soos Creek Sewer and Water District. To the north, the
service area boundary coincides with the mutual Kent/Renton and Kent/Tukwila city
limits. ts'the west, it coincides with Highline Water District's boundary, and to the
south, the City's service area boundary coincides with the City of Auburn, and Federal
Way Sewer and Water. District. The principal sources of water supply for the City's
C water system are Kent Springs and Clark Springs. During. high demand periods, the
capacity of these two sources is exceeded, and supplemental well facilities are activated.
These sources are adequate to meet peak day demands; however, during an extreme
dry/hot spell, the City purchases water from adjacent purveyors. Water system interties
are presently available with Highline Water District, Tukwila, and Renton during such
emergency situations; however, these sources are not considered to be dependable for
meeting long-term demand requirements. A new open storage reservoir is proposed to
be located on a site near 124th Avenue SE and SE 304th Street. The City also plans a
future intertie with Tacoma's pipeline 5 project. The water distribution system exists
throughout most of the City's service area. Expansion will take place almost entirely
through infill development, which will be accomplished primarily through developer
extensions. Most of the remaining projects in the City's most recent water system Plan
consist primarily of water main replacements and upsizing in older portions of the
A Comprehensive Water System Plan update is required by the Washington State
Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) every five years. The City's most

FINANCING
The revenue sources that are available to the City of Kent for capital facilities include
taxes, fees and charges, and grants. Some sources of revenue for capital facilities can
also be used for operating costs. A comprehensive list of revenue sources and a
discussion of limitations on the use of each revenue source is contained in the Capital
Facilities Plan. Existing City revenues are not forecast, nor are they diverted to capital
expenditures from maintenance and operations.
The financing plan for these capital improvements includes the revenues listed in the pie
chart below. The chart lists the major categories of Capital Improvement Projects (CIP)
revenue sources and the amount contributed by each source.

TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT ATTACHMENT D CHAPTER NINE
Regional Action 2 - Improve * connections with Pierce Transit, especially if
commuter rail is not implemented, to provide a regional bus line from Pierce
County to Kent, via Auburn.
The recent Downtown Parking Study suggested that there is an imbalance in long- and
short-term parking in the downtown area. It is also agreed that the existing downtown
park-and-ride is too far from downtown for employees to use, and that existing transit
service from that Iot to downtown is inconvenient. Conversion of the area near the BN
tracks to long-term am3sit/commuter parking would require relocation of some existing
long-term, general -use parking. If the area is not appropriately sized, on -street parking
in downtown could be affected by spillover as a result of increased use of transit.
System Management Alternatives - The City currently is involved in two projects to
improve system operation in the valley. One is a muldiurisdictional examination and
review of signal timina and coordination for valley arterials that cross jurisdictional
bounds. The outcome of this project should be improved flow on major roads and the
ability, via computer technology, to adjust signal cycles as demand warrants. The second
project is within the City and includes installing a new master computer for the City's
signal system. This will allow the City to adjust signal cycles as demand varies.
As technology improves over the next 10 to 20 years, a system of surveillance, control,
and driver information (SC&DI), similar to that operated by WSDOT on I-5, I-90, and
SR 520, would be appropriate for the principal arterials in south King County. This
would allow drivers to be notified where back-ups are occurring and what alternate -
routes may be available. It also would provide a way to meter traffic entering congested
facilities.
EMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS
Six -Year Program
Every year, the City adopts a transportation improvement program aimed at showing
impiovements and expenditures over the next six years. The program adopted for 199)(-
2000 generally provides adequate levels of service and corrects existing deficiencies, as
defined by the City's service standard. Elements of this action plan Linclude road J L

CHAPTER NINE TR4NSPORT.47I0N ELEMENT
2010 Improvements
As new development occurs, additional improvements will be needed to maintain the
proposed LOS standards. A number of projects have been identified, including road
widening for general purpose traffic and for HOV lanes, completion of the regional
network, and conversion of lanes for peak -period HOV use.
2020 Improvements
A similar project list has been identified for implementation between 2010 and 2020,
assuming growth occurs at the rate identified in the land usealfec These projects
include more widening, primarily to serve HOV users.
TRANSPORTATION FINANCING &
BIPLEMENTATION PLAN
The creation of a financing and implementation plan is critical to the overall development
of the transportation element. In turn the transportation element is a critical element of
the comprehensive plan. Development of a financing and implementation plan involves
the examination of a number of issues including, improvements to the street system,
transit, parking, pedestrian and bicycle facilities. A key tool of the examination was the
development of a computer forecast model which simulates the future year travel
patterns on the City's transportation system. A key parameter in determining the needs
of the system was service levels. Under Growth Management service levels or degree
of congestion is a local discretion subject however to consistency, at jurisdictional
boundaries. The methodology used to develop the financing plan was consistent with
that of the counyywide planning policies.
This section is a critical component of the transportation element, and as such plays a
important part in enabling growth to occur in concert with the land use projections. —4t—

opened in 1998, 2000 and 1999 respectively.
