WHEREAS, Kent's duplex multifamily zoning district (MR -D) does not specify a maximum allowable density, rather it specifies a minimum lot size for both a duplex and a single family development within the MR -D district; and WHEREAS, the minimum lot size for a duplex is twice the minimum lot size for Kent's highest density allowed under the single-family zoning districts; and WHEREAS, given the minimum lot size, the density in the MR -D zoning district in effect becomes 10.89 dwelling units per acre; and WHEREAS, the Land Use and Planning Board held a public hearing on July 24, 2000, and voted to recommend to the City Council that the minimum lot size for duplexes be kept at 8,000 square feet and that the maximum density be defined at 10.89 dwelling units per acre. The Land Use and Planning Board further voted to recommend that duplexes on nonconforming lots of record as of June 20, 1973, that are a minimum Duplex Multifamily Zoning District Density 7,200 square feet in size and that do not meet the minimum lot width of 80 feet, be allowed. All other development standards would remain the same; NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: as follows: SECTION 1.
