ORDINANCE NO. 35W3
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of
Kent, Washington, amending Title 15 of the Kent City Code
to eliminate the Downtown Commercial Limited
Manufacturing (DLM) zoning district and to replace it with
the Downtown Commercial Enterprise (DCE) zoning district,
which currently exists in the vicinity; to rezone all existing
properties which are presently zoned DLM to DCE in the
downtown area; and other related amendments.
WHEREAS, on October 26, 2000, Mayor White requested that staff begin
to implement the recommendations of the Commuter Rail Station Area Study, which
included a recommendation to change the Downtown Commercial Limited Manufacturing
(DLM) zoning district to a Downtown Commercial Enterprise (DCE) zoning district; and
WHEREAS, the Downtown Strategic Action Plan and Integrated
Environmental Impact Statement, adopted by Ordinance No. 3398 on April 7, 1998, also
envisions redevelopment of the North Core District, which includes those properties in the
DLM zoning district, into a vibrant, pedestrian -connected, mixed-use downtown
community; and
1 Downtown Commercial Limited
Manufacturing (DLM) to Downtown
Commercial Enterprise (DCE)
WHEREAS, within the DLM zoning district, the City has closed the
purchase and sale of the Borden site for the purpose of redevelopment for mixed use, other
industrial uses have either relocated or been replaced by nonindustrial uses, and the
commuter rail station has begun operation in the City of Kent in February, 2000, which is
consistent with and would enhance mixed development and uses; and
WHEREAS, these events provide an impetus for the proposed zoning
change to DCE to facilitate this redevelopment; and
WHEREAS, on December 18, 2000, notification of the proposed change
was sent to the State of Washington Department of Community Trade and Economic
Development, with copies to other state agencies pursuant to RCW 3 6.70A. 106(3), and the
required 60 -day notification period has expired; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the Land Use and Planning
Board on January 22, 2001, to discuss staff recommendation that the DLM zoning district
be eliminated and that all properties within downtown that are currently zoned DLM be
rezoned to DCE, and after hearing public comment, the Board recommended approval of
these zoning amendments; and
WHEREAS, in order to eliminate the DLM zoning district, revisions are
needed to Title 15 of the Kent City Code; and
WHEREAS, other technical amendments are needed to Title 15 of the Kentl
City Code to change the reference from planning director to planning manager; NOW
THEREFORE,
2 Downtown Commercial Limited
Manufacturing (DLM) to Downtown
Commercial Enterprise (DCE)

HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
