AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of
Kent, Washington, waiving the additional system
development charge established in Kent City Code section
7.02.160(C) for single-family residential homes only in
those instances where the fire marshal orders the
installation of a fire sprinkler system and that fire sprinkler
system requires installation of a larger than three-quarters
(3/4") inch meter.
RECITALS
A. Kent City Code ("KCC") section 7.02.160 sets forth various installation
and connection charges assessed to those connecting to the City's water system.
B. In accordance with subsection (C) of KCC 7.02 160, a system
development charge is assessed to all who connect to the City's water system and that
charge is based upon the size of the meter installed to support the normal user
demand of the building being connected.
C. In issuing a building permit on certain single-family residential
developments, the City's fire marshal may require that a fire sprinkler system be
installed.
D. A three-quarter (%) inch meter is generally adequate to support a
single-family residential development; however, if the fire marshal requires that a fire
sprinkler system be installed, the addition of the sprinkler system may require
installation of a larger water meter.
1 System Development Charge
Single-family Residential — Fire Demand
E. In those instances where a meter larger than three-quarters (3/4) of an
inch is needed solely to support the fire sprinkler system, it is the City Council's intent
that an applicant should not have to pay the additional system development charge
assessed for the larger meter, and that the applicant would only be assessed the
system development charge for a three-quarter (3/4) inch meter because the additional
water capacity would only be used in the event the sprinkler system were activated.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
ORDINANCE
SECTION 1. — Amendment. Section 7.02.160(C) of the Kent City Code

3. Ten thousand four hundred dollars ($10,400) for each one and one-half

However. if (a) the City's fire marshal has required that, in conwnction with the
City's issuance of a single-family residential building permit, the applicant must install a
fire sprinkler system. and (b) the need for a meter size greater than three-guarters (%)
of an inch is based solely on the fire marshal's requirement that the sprinkler system
be installed, the single-family residential permit applicant shall pay only the system
development charge listed above for a meter less than one inch in diameter. It is not
the Citv's intent to require an applicant to pay a higher system development charge
when the larger meter size is needed only in the unusual event of a fire demand rather
than for normal daily user demand

clause, or phrase of this ordinance is declared unconstitutional or invalid for any
reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this
