PACIFIC GATEWAY
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE BOEING COMPANY AND THE CITY OF KENT
I. PREAMBLE
This DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") between THE BOEING
COMPANY ("Boeing"), a Delaware corporation, and the CITY OF KENT ("City"), a
municipal corporation of the State of Washington, is entered into pursuant to the
authority of RCW 36.70B.170 through .210, under which a local government may enter
into a development agreement with an entity having ownership or control of real property
within its jurisdiction.
II. RECITALS
A. Boeing is the owner of certain real property historically known as the
Boeing Kent Space Center (the "Property"), located in the City of Kent, King County,
Washington and more particularly described in EXHIBIT 1, attached hereto and by this
reference made a part hereof.
B. On May 2, 2002, the City issued approval with conditions for a 9 -lot short
subdivision (see EXHIBIT 6 attached) of an approximately 67 -acre portion of the
Property commonly known as Pacific Gateway Division II ("Division II"), which short
subdivision was recorded on May 6, 2003 at King County, WA (Recording No.
20030506900014) (the "Division II Short Plat"), attached hereto as EXHIBIT 7. The
location and extent of Division II is depicted on EXHIBIT 2, attached hereto and by this
reference made a part hereof.
C. On December 12, 2002, the City issued approval with conditions for a
4 -lot short subdivision (See EXHIBIT 9 attached) of an approximately 26 -acre portion of
the Property commonly known as Pacific Gateway Division III ("Division III"), which
short subdivision was recorded on February 13, 2003 at King County, WA (Recording
No. 20030213900020) (the "Division III Short Plat"), attached hereto as EXHIBIT 10
and by this reference made a part hereof. The location and extent of Division III is
depicted on EXHIBIT 3, attached hereto and by reference made a part hereof.
D. Concurrent with review of this Agreement, Boeing received preliminary
approval of a 27 -lot binding site plan (See EXHIBIT 11 attached) for the approximately
136 remaining acres of the Property, commonly known as Pacific Gateway Division IV
("Division IV"). The final binding site plan once recorded shall be attached hereto as
EXHIBIT 12 (the "Division IV Binding Site Plan") and by this reference made a part
hereof. The location and extent of Division IV is depicted on EXHIBIT 4.
PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT — Page 2 of 17 (August 9, 2004)
(between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent)
E. It is anticipated that Divisions II, III and IV (Property) may be developed
or redeveloped (which terms are referenced collectively herein as "development") in
portions over an extended period of time. In light of this anticipated long-term buildout,
the parties desire to establish required stormwater and transportation improvements
necessary to support development of the Property, to vest future permit applications for
lots within the Property on a rolling, 5 -year basis, and to reach certain other agreements
intended to enhance development consistency and predictability among the Divisions.
The location and extent of the Property is shown on EXHIBIT 5.
F. Kent City Code 12.04.825(C) requires execution of a development
agreement, in accordance with RCW 36.70B.170, for binding site pians that contemplate
an extended period of development. The code requires that such agreements shall govern
at a minimum, the use and development of the property subject to the binding site plan,
including: (1) vesting applicable to subsequent permits; (2) the manner in which each
phase of the development will proceed to ensure that the road and utilities necessary to
serve each phase of the development are constructed prior to the development of each
phase; and (3) expiration of the agreement and all provisions therein. This Agreement is
intended to meet the requirements of the code.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City and Boeing agree as follows:
III. AGREEMENT
1. Purpose
The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is premised upon the Division II and
III Short Plats, which have been previously approved and recorded, and the Division IV
Binding Site Plan, which has been approved concurrent with this Agreement. The
Agreement shall be used to implement phased infrastructure development upon the sale
of the lots of Division IV, and to address traffic and stormwater improvements related to
future expansion, redevelopment, or new development on the Property. The Agreement
also has provisions for the vesting of certain development regulations for Divisions 11, 111
and IV.
In order to prepare for the possible future development of the Property while the
Property remains in single ownership, Boeing intends to identify and design stormwater
and transportation improvements to serve such development during the term of this
Agreement in order to provide the City, Boeing, and any future developers of the
Property with reasonable certainty regarding these infrastructure needs. The term of this
Agreement is intended to be of adequate duration to provide for these established
improvements to serve future development while acknowledging that most of the
Property is not currently expected to develop outside of Boeing ownership. This
PACEFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT - Page 3 of 17 (August 9, 2004)
(between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent)
Agreement shall apply to all future development of the Property during the term of the
Agreement, as hereinafter defined.
2. Term of Agreement
The "Term" of this Agreement shall be twenty (20) years from the recording date
of this Agreement, unless both parties otherwise agree, during the year 2024, to either (a)
execute a confirmation of the continuation of this Agreement for an additional twenty
(20) years of the Term in substantially the form and content of EXHIBIT 20 attached
hereto and by this reference made a part hereof or (b) amend the Agreement as they may
deem reasonable and necessary. A confirmation of continuation of this agreement and/or
any amendments that relate to an extension of the Term may require a public hearing as
in accordance with Section 13 of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall
not affect the requirements related to the Binding Site Plan Approval for Division IV, set
forth in Sections 7 and 8 herein, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and continue to govern development with Division IV.
3. Vesting of Development Regulations
Future permit applications for development of the Property shall be reviewed
under the development regulations in effect at the time of complete application, except
with respect to land use, zoning and site planning regulations. The land use, zoning, and
site plan regulations in effect at the time of the effectiveness of this Agreement are
attached hereto as EXHIBIT 21 ("Vested Development Regulations"), and future permit
applications for development of the Property shall be reviewed pursuant to these
regulations as follows: the Vested Development Regulations shall govern development
of the Property until December 31, 2009 ("Initial Vesting Penod"). Following the Initial
Vesting Period, this Agreement establishes vesting for subsequent five-year periods
("Subsequent Five Year Vesting Periods"), starting on January 1 of the first year and
ending December 31 of the fifth year, for the duration of the Term. At the beginning of
each Subsequent Five Year Vesting Period, the land use, zoning, and site planning
regulations in effect as of December 31 of the prior vesting period shall replace EXHIBIT
21 and this Agreement shall be automatically amended with said regulation through the
re-recording of this Agreement with the new regulations attached. It shall be the
responsibility of Boeing to re-record this Agreement at the beginning of each Subsequent
Five Year Vesting Period. The property owner(s) subject to this Agreement may, at any
time elect, in its (their) sole discretion, to conform to new development regulations that
may from time to time be adopted by the City.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City reserves the authority under RCW
36.70B.170(4) to impose new or different regulations to the extent required by a serious
threat to public health and safety.
PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT — Page 4 of 17 (August 9, 2004)
(between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent)
4. Transportation Infrastructure and Mitigation
(a) Credit for Prior Transportation Mitigation
The City acknowledges Boeing's payment for transportation improvements
serving development within the Property made under Local Improvement District Nos.
328 and 340. Except for the southbound right -turn lane at W. Valley and 208`h identified
in the Division IV MDNS, any future permit applications for development of the Property
that generate traffic impacts on South 196`h/200'h Street from East Valley Highway to
Onllia Road and/or West Valley Highway from South 189th Street to South 212th Street
shall not be subject to additional mitigation fees for system improvements on these
roadways unless, at the time of permit application, the impacts cumulatively exceed, on a
trip generation basis, the total trips anticipated by the Traffic Impact Study, as defined in
Section 4(d), for future development of the Property. If at the time a complete permit
application is submitted, the City has assessed a system development charge for one or
more grade separation projects, the Property shall be subject to the assessment. Boeing
does not, however, waive, and expressly reserves, the right to challenge the number of
trips used by the City to calculate the dollar amount of the system development charge
assessed for grade separation projects to the Property.
(b) Division II
The Division II Short Plat was analyzed for environmental impacts pursuant to the
State Environmental Policy Act ("SEPA"), which included the evaluation of potential
traffic impacts resulting from the assumed build -out of Division II with an additional 1
million square feet of industrial park use over time and resulted in a Mitigated
Determination of Nonsignificance ("Division II NIDNS") issued February 26, 2002
(attached hereto as EXHIBIT 8 and by this reference made a part hereof).
The parties acknowledge that the transportation improvements to support the
future lot development of Division II have been established through the Division II
MDNS (EXHIBIT 8) conditions and the Division II Short Plat conditions of approval
(EXHIBIT 6). Following completion of construction of the required transportation
improvements and any required inspections and approvals by the City, the conditions of
the short plat shall be deemed met and no additional transportation improvements to
mitigate total trip generation impacts in the Traffic Impact Study shall be required for
future development permit applications, subject to subsection (a) and (d) herein and
Section 9 of this Agreement.
Each future development application for the Property shall be required to
demonstrate, through an abbreviated traffic study or other acceptable technical document
approved by the City, consistency with the Division II MONS traffic impact analysis to
PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT — Page 5 of 17 (August 9, 2004)
(between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent)
allow for the City's adoption of the Division II MDNS, or incorporation of a supporting
traffic report, to satisfy the City's responsibilities under SEPA for said application. If a
determination of consistency is made by the City, all traffic impacts shall be deemed
mitigated through the implementation of the Conditions/Mitigating Measures of the
Division II MDNS and conditions of approval for Division II Short Plat.
(c) Division III
The parties acknowledge that the Division III Short Plat was categorically exempt
from SEPA review. The parties also acknowledge that the Traffic Impact Study
(EXHIBIT 14) prepared for the Division IV MDNS included the analysis of cumulative
traffic impacts of the development of Division III.
The parties acknowledge that the transportation improvements to support the
future lot development of Division III have also been established through the Division III
Short Plat conditions of approval (EXHIBIT 9). Following completion of construction of
the required transportation improvements and any required inspections and approvals by
the City, the conditions of the Division III Short Plat shall be deemed met and no
additional transportation improvements to mitigate total trip generation impacts in the
Traffic Impact Study shall be required for future development permit applications,
subject to subsection (a) and (d) herein and Section 9 of this Agreement.
Each future development application for the Property shall be required to
demonstrate, through an abbreviated traffic study or other acceptable technical document
approved by the City, consistency with the Division IV MDNS Traffic Impact Study to
allow for the City's adoption of the Division IV MDNS, or the incorporation of a
supporting traffic report, to satisfy the City's responsibilities under SEPA for said
application. If a determination of consistency is made by the City, all traffic impacts
shall be deemed mitigated through the implementation of the Conditions/Mitigating
Measures of the Division III Short Plat conditions of approval and Division IV MDNS
that pertain to development within Division III.
(d) Division IV
The Division IV Binding Site Plan was analyzed for environmental impacts
pursuant to SEPA, which included the evaluation of potential traffic impacts resulting
from the assumed build -out of Division IV with the potential additional development of
600,000 square feet of industrial park use and the reuse and/or redevelopment of the
existing 1.9 million square feet of industrial park use over time and resulted in a
Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance ("Division IV MDNS") issued December 2,
2003 (attached hereto as EXHIBIT 13 and by this reference made a part hereof).
PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT — Page 6 of 17 (August 9, 2004)
(between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent)
The Division IV MDNS was supported by a Traffic Impact Study attached hereto
as EXHIBIT 14 and by this reference made a part hereof ("Traffic Impact Study"). The
Traffic Impact Study and the Division IV MDNS identifies required mitigation in two
separate forms (a) Recommended Project Improvements and (b) the pro -rate share of the
Recommended System Improvements.
Recommended Project Improvements: The Recommended Project Improvements
are listed in the Traffic Impact Study and included within Attachment A of the Division
IV Binding Site Plan. The completion of the Recommended Project Improvements shall
be implemented on a lot -by -lot basis prior to, or in conjunction with, the transfer of any
lot outside of the ownership of Boeing, or prior to or in conjunction with the issuance of a
"Project Related Building Perrmt," as defined in Section 7 of this Agreement, in
conformance with the schedule set forth on EXHIBIT 11 attached hereto (matrix).
Recommended System Improvements: Boeing shall pay to the City their pro-
rated share of the Recommended System Improvements (see Division IV MDNS,
mitigating condition #1). This amount shall be paid in full to the City prior to the
recording of the Division IV Binding Site Plan. Due to the fact the Traffic Impact Study
analyzed potential traffic impacts through the year 2010, during the year 2010, an
updated Traffic Impact Study shall be submitted to the City for review and approval
based on as then current development regulations, analyzing existing and future trip
generation for the next (5) year period. The updated Traffic Impact Study, once reviewed
and approved by the City, shall be appended to this Agreement and recorded as a
supplement to EXHIBIT 14 hereto and shall remain valid for the succeeding (5) year
period. Any additional pro -rated share of any new Recommended System Improvements
shall be paid within 90 days of the City's approval of the updated Traffic Impact Study
and prior to issuance of any development permit. This traffic study update process shall
be completed every five (5) years after 2010, so long as this Agreement remains in effect.
Each future development application for the Property shall be required to
demonstrate, through an abbreviated traffic study or other acceptable technical document
approved by the City, consistency with the Division IV MDNS Traffic Impact Study to
allow for the City's adoption of the Division IV MDNS, or the incorporation of a
supporting traffic report, to satisfy the City's responsibilities under the SEPA for said
application. The Public Works Director shall have the discretion to determine
incremental and total trip generation consistent with the ITE Trip generation Manual
(latest ed.) for the purpose of establishing the appropriate trip generation for the specified
use of a permit application. If a determination of consistency is made by the City, no
additional transportation mitigation will be required so long as the estimated total PM
peak hour trip generation of the proposed use remains at or below the 4,902 trips
established in the Division IV MDNS on a cumulative basis for the Property as specified
in greater detail by EXHIBIT 15 attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof.
PACERC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT — Page 7 of 17 (August 9, 2004)
(between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent)
In the event the City determines the impacts of the development for the proposed permit
application are not fully mitigated through this consistency analysis, the City may prepare
a new threshold determination, or otherwise require additional mitigation, as deemed
appropriate at the time of application. If the City determines the payment made as
required by this section represents more than the fair share for impacts generated by the
property, based on any updated traffic study, the City may credit Boeing for said excess
payment.
So long as Boeing holds title to any portion of the Property, Boeing shall provide
to the City a cumulative accounting of all then -existing development and Division IV
mitigation previously performed at the time of each project permit application,
substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT 16 and by this reference made a
part hereof.
In the event the City adopts a Growth Management Act, Ch. 36.70A RCW,
impact fee ordinance in conformance with the requirements of RCW 82.02.050 et seq.,
the City acknowledges that the payments made by Boeing as required by this section are
being made for "system improvements reasonably related to the new development," as
defined therein, and the property owner(s) of property subject to this Agreement shall not
be required to pay traffic impact fees under any new ordinance as prohibited by RCW
82.02.100 provided no additional impacts are revealed in any subsequent updated traffic
studies. Provided, however, this impact fee prohibition does not apply to system
development charges for grade separation projects provided for in section 4(a).
(e) Traffic Circulation
A conceptual "Traffic Circulation Plan' is attached as EXHIBIT 17 and by this
reference made a part hereof, which identifies six access connections to the existm
public rights of way and two future internal circulation access routes on 2O4`s and 208
anticipated to serve future development of the Property, and in accordance with Section 7
of this Agreement. For all future development of the Property the six access connections
shall be provided consistent with the Traffic Circulation Plan and as supported by the
Traffic Impact Study, unless otherwise approved or restricted by the Public Works
Director. Project Related Building Permit Applications shall provide access routes and
rights-of-way consistent with the Traffic Circulation Plan in conformance with related
conditions of the Division IV Binding Site Plan.
5. Stormwater Improvements
(a) Division II
The Division H Short Plat was analyzed for environmental impacts pursuant to
SEPA, which included the evaluation of potential stormwater impacts resulting from the
PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT — Page 8 of 17 (August 9, 2004)
(between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent)
assumed maximum impervious build -out of the Division II with development of an
additional 1 million square feet of industrial park use and approximately 53 acres of
impervious coverage over time and resulted in a Mitigated Determination of
Nonsignificance ("Division II MDNS") issued February 26, 2002 (attached hereto as
EXHIBIT 8 and by this reference made a part hereof).
The parties acknowledge that stormwater improvements required by the Division
II MONS and the Division II Short Plat approval, including an on-site public
detention/water quality pond system, have been completed and are adequate to support
the level of development analyzed in support of the Division II SEPA review. The
constructed improvements shall be deemed to satisfy all current and future storm water
detention and water quality treatment requirements for all future permit applications,
except as otherwise provided in Subsection (d) of this Section.
(b) Division III
The parties acknowledge that the Division III Short Plat was exempt from SEPA
review, and that the storm water detention and water quality treatment requirements for
the future project permit applications for the potential future development and lot transfer
of the Division III shall be governed by the Division III Short Plat conditions of approval
(EXHIBIT 9). The parties also acknowledge that the engineering plans addressing
stormwater management for the Division IV Binding Site Plan, as set forth in Section
5(c), may include a consolidated solution to stormwater management for both Division
IV and Division III.
(c) Division IV
The Division IV Binding Site Plan was analyzed for environmental impacts
pursuant to SEPA, which included the evaluation of the potential stormwater impacts
resulting from the assumed future maximum impervious build -out of Division IV
Binding Site Plan with approximately 123 acres of impervious coverage and the
additional new development of 600,000 square feet of industrial park use and the re -use
or redevelopment of the 1.9 million square feet of existing industrial park use over time
and resulted in a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance ("Division IV MDNS")
issued December 2, 2003 (attached hereto as EXHIBIT 13 and by this reference made a
part hereof).
The parties acknowledge that the stormwater improvements required by the
Division IV MDNS and the Division IV Binding Site Plan approval shall govern the
stormwater improvements for stormwater quantity control (detention) and quality control
(water quality treatment) for future lot build -out (development and redevelopment) for all
property governed by the Division IV Binding Site Plan.
PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT — Page 9 of 17 (August 9, 2004)
(between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent)
Prior to the recording the Division IV Binding Site Plan, Boeing shall submit
detailed construction plans to the City (PWD) for review and approval addressing
stormwater management for the Division IV in accordance with BSP Conditions B.13.
The completion or the stormwater improvements shown on the "approved" plans shall be
implemented on a phased construction schedule, as set forth on EXHIBIT 11 attached
hereto (matrix) prior to, or in conjunction with, the transfer of any tot outside of the
ownership of Boeing, or prior to or in conjunction with issuance of a Project Related
Building Pennit, as defined in Section 7 of this Agreement.
The "approved" plans shall serve as the required stromwater improvements for
stormwater quantity control (detention) and quality control (water quality treatment) for
all project permit applications for all future lot development of Division IV, except as
otherwise provided in Subsection (d) of this Section.
(d) Water Quality Special Provision
The City may modify the stormwater improvements described in subsection 5.(a),
(b), and (c) above and require additional water quality improvements if any of the
following circumstances occur during the term of this Agreement:
1) The City reasonably believes, in good faith, that the City's
approval of a project permit application under the terms of this Agreement would result
in a decision by a State or Federal administrative agency, or a Court of competent
jurisdiction, that the City's eligibility for funding, grants, program eligibility or other
resources sought by the City would be materially impaired;
2) The City reasonably believes, in good faith, that the City's
approval of a project permit application under the terms of this Agreement would result
in a decision by a State or Federal administrative agency, or a Court of competent
jurisdiction, that the City unlawfully failed to comply with the Endangered Species Act,
Clean Water Act, or other State or Federal laws or regulations relating to water quality; or
3) A State or Federal statute or regulation requires the City to adopt
stormwater regulations to address cumulative water quality impacts on an area wide or
City-wide basis and the City reasonably believes, in good faith, that the City's failure to
apply said regulations to the property subject to this Agreement would result in municipal
liability for the City. Modifications under this subsection shall only be to the extent
necessary to address the applicant's proportionate share of such cumulative standard.
Any modification or addition to the approved and constructed stormwater
improvements that is required as a result of one of the foregoing conditions occurring
shall be limited to the minimum necessary to avoid the consequences described herein.
PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT — Page 10 of 17 (August 9, 2004)
(between The Boeing Company and the Cuy of Kent)
The parties agree that the City shall attempt to, but not be obligated to, provide wntten
notice to Boeing prior to City Council action on a proposed modification when the City
believes any of the above circumstances have arisen. Boeing shall have the right, at its
sole discretion and expense, to seek recourse from the appropnate administrative or
judicial body.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement is not intended to relieve Boeing
or any property owner subject to this Agreement from compliance with the Clean Water

6. Boeing Ditch Agreement and Sensitive Areas Ordinance Compliance
Boeing and the City entered an easement agreement relating to the use of property
owned by Boeing known as the "Boeing Ditch" or "Boeing Creek," and more particularly
described on EXHIBIT B to said agreement, King County Recording No.
20030123000744 ("the Boeing Ditch Agreement"), attached as EXHIBIT 18 hereto and
incorporated herein in full by this reference. Said easement was granted to the City for
the purpose of allowing for conveyance system improvements, habitat enhancement,
riparian plantings, and to establish a stream setback for development on the Property for
lots adjacent to the Boeing Creek. Pursuant to the Division II N DNS, the Boeing Ditch
Agreement was required to establish compliance with the City's sensitive areas ordinance
for future lot development on lots within the Property adjacent to Boeing Creek. Permit
applications for lots adjacent to Boeing Creek governed by the Boeing Ditch Agreement
shall conform to the requirements of said agreement and no further review or approval
under the City's sensitive areas ordinance shall be required for all development that is
consistent with said agreement.
7. Phased Division IV Binding Site Plan Framework
The Division IV Binding Site Plan anticipates phased development of property
within Division IV over time. Technical documents supporting the Division IV Binding
Site Plan and related analysis under SEPA include the identification of transportation
infrastructure elements, transportation circulation elements, utility elements and
stormwater management elements for Division IV based upon maximum development
and redevelopment assumptions to serve each phase. All future permit applications for
the Property will be reviewed pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
related Approvals, and the SEPA process as that may apply to individual permit
applications.
PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT — Page 11 of 17 (August 9, 2004)
(between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent)
Because development may not occur immediately following the effective date of
this Agreement, recording of the final Division IV Binding Site Plan is required within
two (2) years of preliminary binding site plan approval and all prerequisite conditions
thereto identified in section B of the binding site plan conditions (EXHIBIT 11) shall be
completed. A one time one (1) year extension may be granted by the City upon receipt of
a written request from Boeing provided such request is submitted prior to the two (2) year
expiration.
Prior to, or in conjunction with, the transfer of any lot outside of the ownership of
Boeing, or prior to or in conjunction with the issuance of a Project Related Building
Permit, the conditions of section C of the BSP -2003-1 (EXHIBIT 11) shall be completed
on a lot -by -lot basis according to Attachment A (EXHIBIT 11) (matrix). For purposes of
this Agreement, "Project Related Building Permit" shall mean all building permits for
development activity associated with a fee conveyance of property from Boeing to a non -
Boeing entity. For any building permit, as deemed necessary by the Public Works
Director, that is not a Project Related Building Permit the conditions of section C of the
BSP -2003-1 shall not apply, except as follows: a) conditions C.9., C.10., and C.11., and
only the Recommended Project Improvements (see section 4.(d)) shall be completed on a
lot -by -lot basis according to Attachment A (EXHIBIT 11)(matnx) and, b) stormwater
improvements shall be completed as required by Attachment A on lot by lot basis or
according to an acceptable alternative, approved by the City, to provide onsite detention
and water quality improvements on a lot -by -lot basis in accordance with design standards
and regulations in affect at the time of submission of a complete building permit
application.
8. Minor Adjustments to Division IV Binding Site Plan
Minor adjustments to the Binding Site Plan approval may be authorized by the
City per Kent City Code 12.04.840. The following are examples of changes to the
Division IV Binding Site Plan that will be deemed by the City to involve a minor
adjustment and not require new binding site plan approval under the Kent City Code: a)
adjustments of lot lines through the boundary line adjustment process that do not increase
the number of resulting lots, b) adjustments in the dimension or location of buildings that
do not violate then current setback requirements, zoning code regulations, or uniform
codes adopted by the City, c) adjustments that do not result in substantial changes, as
determined by the planning manager or public works director, in the design or location of
access, parking, circulation, drainage, public utility improvements, or easements, d)
minor lot consolidation applications that combine lots, and e) incorporations of changes
showing permitted/constructed improvements, including but not limited to, building
locations, parking, landscape areas, drive aisles, and the like.

9. Adequacy of SEPA Mitigation
The City acknowledges the previously prepared environmental documents
referenced herein for the purposes of satisfying its responsibilities under SEPA for the
subject matters covered by this Agreement. To the extent that future impacts associated
with new development of the Property are consistent with the identified prior SEPA
approvals, no further SEPA mitigation will be required for any future permit applications
so long as the City can rely on said environmental documents for the purposes of
complying with its responsibilities under SEPA through the adoption of said documents.
To the extent practicable, the City will rely on existing SEPA documents to support
permit applications in a manner consistent with WAC 197-11-600(4).
10. Notification of Property Transfer Agreement

the City of said transfer in accordance with the Notification of Property Transfer
Agreement attached hereto as EXHIBIT 19 and by this reference made a part hereof and
incorporated herein. The City and Boeing shall execute said Notification of Property
Transfer Agreement within ten (10) days of the date of this Agreement. For property
within Division III, the form of the property transfer notice shall conform to the Division
III Short Plat condition of approval (condition A. 10), unless the Division III Short Plat
has been vacated and then the requirements of this section shall apply to property
transfers pertaining to Division III property.
11. Execution, Recording and Effective Date
The City shall cause this Agreement to be executed by its authorized
representative, within seven (7) days of its approval by the Kent City Council and receipt
of an executed Agreement by the authorized representative of Boeing. Within ten (10)
days following mutual execution of this Agreement, the City shall cause this Agreement
to be recorded with the Real Property Records Division of the King County Records and
Elections Department. This Agreement shall become effective upon recording.
12. Successors and Assigns
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of Boeing and the City and
their successors in interest, and may be assigned to successors in interest to the Property.
Consent by the City shall not be required for any transfer of rights pursuant to this
Agreement. Upon any such transfer, the transferee shall be entitled to all interests and
rights and be subject to all obligations under this Agreement. Upon assignment and
assumption by the assignee(s) of all obligations under this Agreement, Boeing shall be
released from all obligations under this Agreement as pertain to the particular interest
assigned.

13. Amendment
This Agreement shall not be modified or amended without the express written
approval of the City and Boeing. Minor amendments to this Agreement shall not, except
to the extent otherwise required by law, require notice and a public hearing unless the
amendment relates to an extension of the Term or modification of Vested Development
Regulations as identified in Section 111.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City retains
the authority to review and approve minor amendments in an open public meeting if such
a minor modification may be of interest or concern to the public.
14. Continuation of Existing Uses
The City acknowledges that the Property contains a number of uses, some of
which may be nonconforming at the time future permit applications for redevelopment
are submitted to the City. If a future permit application for the redevelopment of a lot on
the Property contains a nonconforming use, redevelopment shall comply with Kent City
Code section 15.08. 100 pertaining to nonconforming development.

I The City has determined that the Boeing Creek, which flows along the south and
east boundanes of the subject short subdivision, suffers from hydraulic capacity
restraints inherent to the nature of the underlying sods and certain private
stormwater culverts for which their invert elevations are too high. The City's
regional stormwater detention facility, the Green River Natural Resource Area,
thusly does not function as designed because of these capacity restraints. Further
since these culverts, in particular, exist in future public nght of way (S 212'" St
and West Valley Hwy) and due to their age they will affect said streets longevity
(I) The City has determined that in order for it to get the usual and
customary expected life out of the streets and culverts system it would
normally get upon acceptance of same the culverts at 66° Ave and S
208"' St, shall be replaced with budges or approved culverts providing
the necessary capacity and hydraulic surface as reviewed and approved
by the City. Further the creek upstream and downstream of the respective
bndges/culverts shall be reconstructed as determined by the City to
accommodate the new hydraulic floe line and for fish passage and use
(2) As an acceptable altemalive the Owner/Subdivider shall install new
culverts (dry) at 66"' Avenue South and South 212'" St and South 208'"
Street and West Valley Highway, outside the OHWN1 of the Boeing
Creek to accommodate the City's future channel widening project The
City will abandon or remove the existing culverts as part of the planned
channel improvement project

Summary of Proposed Short Plat, Pacific Gateway Division 111,
SP -2002 -IJ KIVA 2020160, Subdivision Committee Meeting
The proposed plat is located within the property owned by Boeing known
as the Kent Space Center it is currently developed with buildings and related
improvements, with vanous uses, on each of the proposed lots The plat is being
proposed to allow for possible redevelopment and/or sale of the lots, although no
specific plan for such redevelopment is well defined at the present time
Buildings may be retained, reconstructed, or demolished over time, depending on
future uses, but no specific buildings on any of the proposed lots are scheduled for
demolition or reconstruction at this time. Each of the proposed lots is served by
utilities, has access to public streets and transportation systems in the City, and
contains parking and landscaping. No vegetation exists on any of the lots, with
the exception of maintained landscaping. Each of the lots is greater than I acre in
size, the current City minimum for industrial park property The proposed plat
will utilize an existing stormwater pond on an identified "Tract X" to serve
stonnwater purposes for the lots within the new plat. The property contains no
critical areas, and the proposed plat has been determined by the City's responsible
SEPA official to be categorically exempt from environmental review
As the approval of the plat will not create any immediate need for the
connection to City utility services, nor any immediate need for public streets, no
such improvements are being proposed in conjunction with plat approval
However, in the event Boeing sells any of the lots, certain improvements will be
proposed to assure each lot is served by necessary public services without relying
on Boeing's internal network of utility services. Other code requirements, such as
those related to pedestrian connections and the like, are expected to be addressed
in future development permits if such permits are submitted to the City for
approval in conjunction with any lot redevelopment It is also anticipated,
depending on any future redevelopment, that additional stormwater or other utility
improvements could be required However, until such improvements are
identified as being needed, i.e, the upgrading of the existing storm pond, no such
improvements are proposed for the short plat
- We believe the staff recommended conditions reflect the relevant facts and
support the conditions presented With respect to the record before you, we
request you lake into consideration all documents submitted by Boeing in the
application process and asset forth here today With this record, the staff
recommendation adequately recommends the inclusion of conditions designed to
address the uniqueness of the proposed plat, i.e, for existing developed property
field under single ownership by a property owner rather than a property developer

Subject: Addendum to PGBP-IV Traffic Impact Study
Mitigation Recommendation
Kent, Washington
TENW Project No. 2299
Dear Mr Spanjer,
Per your request, this letter provides an Addendum to the Pacific Gateway Business Park
(PGBP) — IV traffic impact study dated August 6, 2003 This Addendum is necessary to
document our recommendations for mitigation associated With the redevelopment potential of
the PGBP-IV site
Per your comments, since our submittal on August 6, 2003, an additional 12 million square
feet of industrial park development proposed on the PGBP-1 site has been approved by the
City Please note, our August 6, 2003 study adequately addresses the cumulative impacts of
the redevelopment of the PGBP-IV site, including the additional 1-2 million square feet on the
PGBP-1 site
However, with the approval of the 1 2 million square feet on the PGBP-1 site, these trips should
be included in the 2010 baseline traffic volumes instead of merely being treated as a
cumulative impact As we discussed, the result of this change is that the 2010 baseline
volumes have increased and thus, the remaining cumulative impacts of the PGBP-IV
redevelopment on the transportation system has decreased as compared to the results as
presented in our August 6. 2003 report
Taking into consideration this change in impact, the following summarizes the updated
recommendations for the project and system improvements associated with the PGBP-IV
redevelopment project
Recommended Project Improvements
Project improvements were defined as improvements providing direct access to or from the
PGBP-IV redevelopment site that are needed due to a direct impact from future potential
redevelopment, as defined in the PGBP-IV traffic impact study- The listed improvements are
recommended to be completed with the development of certain lots to be identified in the
Development Agreement -

The recommended improvement at this location is the construction of an additional 400 foot
eastbound left -turn lane In addition, modifications to the signal phasing are recommended to
include easVwest split phasing
S 20e StreetlWest Valley Highway (Intersection #4)
The recommended improvement at this location is the construction of a 100 foot southbound
right -turn lane and modification of the eastbound approach to add an eastbound right -turn lane
and convert the eastbound through lane to a shared left-thru lane Also remove the crosswalk
on the north leg, and modify the signal phasing to include east/west split phasing
S 212'h StreetlWft Place S (tntersection #81
The recommended improvement at this location is the construction of an additional 400 foot
southbound left4urn lane In addition, modifications to the signal phasing are recommended to
include north/south split phasing
Recommended System Improvements
The following improvements are considered system -related improvements that are needed with
or without the potential redevelopment of the PGBP-IV site, but the potential redevelopment will
contribute to the need for these improvements This conclusion is based on the fact that the
increase in volumes at these locations is primarily due to the increase in background traffic If
the City or others plan to build the improvements listed, it would be appropriate for the project to
pay its pro -rata share of the cost of the improvement. The attached table provides the updated
pro -rata share percentages based on the additional 1.2 million square feet being approved on
the PGBP-1 site Thb costs of the system improvements will be identified in the Development
Agreement

Pacific Gateway kisintss Park -IV Traffic Impact Study
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
The proposed Pacific Gateway Business Property Division N (PGBP-IV) project
includes the development of approximately 2.5 million square feet of office space
on land within the existing Boeing Space Center Campus. Approximately 1.9
million square feet of existing uses (office, manufacturing, and storage) would be
redeveloped. Therefore the net increase in building area as a result of PGBP-IV is
approximately 600,000 square feet.
As part of the PGBP-N redevelopment, S 204'' Street and S 208'b Street are
proposed to be extended to S 59'' Place" This would provide an east west link
through the PGBP-IV site between West Valley highway and S 59'' Place. Per
the request of the City of Kent, a future analysis was also completed with PGBP-
IV and an additional 1.2 million square feet of industrial park use on PGBP-I.
Trip Generation. The full redevelopment of the PGBP-IV site is estimated to
generate a total of 11,172 net new weekday daily vehicle trips, of which 1,476
trips are estimated to occur during the a.m. peak hour (1,356 entering, 120
exiting) and 1,297 trips are estimated to occur during the p.m. peak hour (125
entering, 1,172 exiting). A trip generation credit was taken for the existing uses to
be redeveloped. The analysis included in this report does not take into account
x potential trip reductions from a successful TMP program. Therefore, the analysis
included in this report could be considered somewhat conservative.
Intersection Operational Analysis. A p.m. peak hour level of service (LOS)
analysis was conducted for the horizon year 2010 at 30 signalized study
intersections, one roundabout, and two unsignalized study intersections Twelve
of the 30 signalized study intersections are expected to operate at LOS E or LOS F
in 2010 without the PGBP-IV redevelopment. A total of 13 signalized study
intersections are expected to operate at LOS E or F in 2010 with the PGBP-IV`
redevelopment. A detailed discussion of the future year 2010 LOS results at the
signalized intersections is included on page 30 and in table 4 on page 31. A
detailed discussion of the year 2010 LOS results at the roundabout at 42°d Ave SIS
216'' Street and the unsignalized intersections on 59th Place S is included on page
32.
Concurrency. Transportation Concurrency was measured in five of the City's
Mobility Management Zones (MMZs)" Each of the five MMZs analyzed are
expected to operate better than the City's acceptable arterial threshold upon full
redevelopment in the year 2010. Therefore, the Division IV development was
determined to meet the City's concurrency standards. In addition, it should be
noted that Boeing has contributed several million dollars towards multiple
t corridor projects to help work towards the goal of improved mobility throughout
the City.

Traffic Irtgau Study
Percent of Project Trips at Study Intersections. At the study intersections
adjacent to the PGBP-IV site, the trips generated by the PGBP-IV redevelopment
are estimated to account for between approximately five and twenty percent of the
total entering traffic during the p.m. peak hour in 2010. However, project trips are
expected to decrease to between one and ten percent of the total entering traffic in
2010 at the study intersections outside a one block radius of the PGBP-IV site.
Queuing Analysis. Vehicle queuing during the p.m. peak hour was analyzed for
2010 conditions with and without the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV at the 30
signalized study intersections. There are 41 movements (at 20 of the 30
signalized study intersections) that are anticipated to exceed the available queue
storage in 2010 without the PGBP-IV development and 42 movements (at 22 of
the 30 signalized study intersections) that are anticipated to exceed the available
queue storage in 2010 with full redevelopment of PGBP-IV. A detailed
discussion of the year 2010 queuing analysis is included on pages 35 and 36.
Improvements for Consideration. Per the City of Kent, signalized intersections
expected to operate at LOS E or F and left -or right -turn lanes with queues
estimated to exceed the existing storage in 2010 with full redevelopment of
PGBP-IV were identified. Tables 8 and 9 on pages 37 through 42 provide a
complete summary of the improvements that were considered to improve
' operations at the study intersections meeting these criteria.
Feasible Intersection Improvements. The criteria used to determine the
feasibility of an improvement was primarily based on whether or not right of way
would be required from others for the improvement. Table 10 on page 43
summarizes the intersection improvements that were determined to be feasible at
intersections expected to operate at LOS E or F or with queues expected to exceed
the existing storage in 2010 with full redevelopment of PGBP-N.
Recommended Improvements. Recommendations for project and system
improvements with the full redevelopment of PGBP-rV were developed based on
the list of feasible intersection improvements. Project improvements were defined
as improvements providing direct access to or from the PGBP-IV site and are
recommended upon full redevelopment of PGBP-IV at the following
intersections:
• 62n8AveSIN 196*Street (Intersection #1)
Extend the dual northbound left -turn lanes to accommodate the
anticipated 525 foot queue (per lane)
• West Valley HivylS 19e Place (Intersection #2)
Construct an additional eastbound left -tum lane. In addition, modify
the signal phasing to include east/west split phasing.

• West Valley HwyIS 200 Street (Intersection #4)
It is recommended that one of the following potential improvements be
implemented at this location.
a) Construct a southbound right -tum lane, modify the eastbound
approach to add an eastbound right -turn lane, and convert the eastbound
through lane to a shared left-thru lane. Also remove the crosswalk on
the north leg, and modify the signal phasing to include east/west split
phasing.
OR
b) Provide an internal connection between S 200' Street and S 208'b
Street on the PGBP-IV site. This would allow exiting vehicles destined
northbound to exit at either S 2041' Street or S 208'` Street.
• S 204`* S1/50 PI S and S 20dr* SU59'* Pl S (Intersections 932 & #33)
It is recommended that these intersections be monitored as re
development of the PGBP-IV site continues to determine iftwhen a
signal may be appropriate in the future.
System improvements were defined as improvements not specifically related to
# _ the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV where the increase in traffic volumes at the
intersection is primarily due to the increase in background traffic. A contribution
from PGBP-IV is recommended at the following intersections if improvements
are built by the City or others:
• 64'* Ave SIS 212`* Street (Intersection #7)
Either extend the northbound left -tum lane by 125 feet or contribute a
pro -rata share (45 percent = 125'1275') toward the construction of the
ultimate improvement (475' left -tum pocket) at this location.
• West Valley Mwy/S 196`* Street (Intersecdon #9)
Construct an eastbound right -tum lane. If the City or others plan to
build this improvement, it would be appropriate for the project to pay
its pro -rata share (7.65/o) of the cost of the improvement.
• West Valley Highway/Meeker Street (Intersection #15)
The project is not expected to increase the queue for the northbound
left -turn, which is expected to exceed the available storage in 2010.
Therefore, no specific improvement is recommended by the project at
this location However, the City should consider removing the traffic
island for the northbound left -tum to accommodate 525 feet of queue
storage.

be appropriate for the project to pay its pro -rata share (5 3%) of the cost
of the improvements.
• East Valley Hwy/S 190 Street (intersection #29)
Modify the traffic signal to facilitate an eastbound right -tum "overlap"
phase and modify the east/west phasing to include permitted left -tum

would be appropriate for the project to pay its pro -rata share (7.00%) of
the cost of the improvements.
• West Valley Hwy/Willis Street (Intersection #30)
Modify the traffic signal and provide channelization improvements to
facilitate a westbound right -tum "overlap" phase. If the City or others

Additional Analysis. Per the request of the City of Kent, two additional
development scenarios were analyzed:
2010 with PGBP-IV and an additional 1.2 million sf industrial park use on

Access Restrictions. For the scenario in which access to and from the PGBP-1 V
site would be restricted to the signalized intersections of West Valley Highway/S
200 Street (#3) and 64h Avenue SIS 212t' Street (#7), five of the nine study
intersections analyzed would be expected to operate at LOS E or F.
As a result of the redistribution of PGBP-IV trips with the access restrictions,
there are a number of queue lengths that are anticipated to increase as a result of
the access restrictions. lite 95d' percentile queues for left- and right -tum
movements exiting the PGBP-1V site are expected to range from 700 to 20M feet.
The 95th percentile queues for the northbound left -tum at S 196"' Street/West
Valley Highway and the eastbound left -tum at S 212'^ Street/West Valley
Highway are expected to extend to the adjacent signalized intersections, thus
block access for left -turn movements at the adjacent intersections. Therefore, to
improve the operations with the restricted access scenario, additional access
points with gates would need to be provided to better distribute entering and
exiting vehicles to the PGBP-IV site. A detailed discussion of the LOS and queue
results with restricted access is included on page 63.

INTRODUCTION
Traffic hnpxt Study
This traffic impact study has been prepared for the Pacific Gateway Business Park
Division W (PGBP-N) development located in Kent, Washington. The PGBP-IV
redevelopment includes the development of approximately 2.5 million square feet
(sf) of office space on land within the existing Boeing Space Center Campus.
Approximately 1.9 million square feet of existing uses (office, manufacturing, and
storage) would be redeveloped with the development of PGBP-IV. Therefore the
i net increase in building area as a result of PGBP-IV is approximately 600,000
square feet.
This document discloses the estimated traffic conditions both with and without
the development of PGBP-IV. The firture baseline condition analyzed in this
study includes the traffic generated by the proposed PGBP-I (2.4 million square
t feet of industrial park use), PGBP-Il (1.0 million square feet of industrial park
use), and PGBP-III (subdivision of one existing tax parcel into four separate lots —
no new trips). Per the request of the City of Kent, a future analysis was also
completed with PGBP-IV and an additional 1.2 million square feet of industrial
} park use on PGBP-I.
1 The PGBP-1V site is located west of West Valley Highway between S 212`2 Street
and S 196" Street in the City of Kent (see figure 1). As part of the PGBP-IV
redevelopment, S 204th Street and S 208'" Street are proposed to be extended to S
59th Place. This would provide an east west link through the PGBP-N site
between West Valley Highway and S 59th Place. Access to the PGBP-IV site is
proposed to be provided via the following existing signalized intersections
• 62nd Avenue S/S i 96t' Street (Study Intersection #1)
• West Valley Highway/S 1990i Place (#2)
• West Valley Highway/S 204th Street (0)
• West Valley Highway/S 20e Street (#4)
• 64th Avenue S/S 2120i Street (0)
• 50 Place S/S 212th Street (#8)
Per the request of the City of Kent, an additional analysis was completed for a
scenario in which access to the PGBP-IV site would be limited to only the
intersections of West Valley Highway/S 204'h Street (Intersection #3) and 64th
Avenue S/S 212th Street (Intersection #7).

r Study Area
Based on discussions with the City of Kent, signalized intersections with 50 or
more net new p.m. peak hour trips from the PGBP-IV development were
identified as study intersectigns. Therefore, 30 signalized intersections were
identified as study intersections. In addition, the City of Kent requested that one
f existing roundabout (at 42"d Avenue S/S 216th Street) and the two future on-site
i intersections on 59a' Place S at S 204th Street and S 208x' Street be included in the
analysis. As a result, a total of 33 intersections were identified as study
t intersections. The 33 study intersections are shown in figure 2.
_t
Analysis Approach
To analyze future traffic conditions both with and without the PGBP-IV
development, the following tasks were undertaken:
• Assessed existing 2003 conditions in the site vicinity through field
reconnaissance.
• Documented future planned roadway improvements in the study area
• Developed weekday am. and pm. peak hour, and daily trip generation
estimates based on guidelines outlined in the Institute of Transportation
i Engineers (ITE), Trip Generation Manual, 6'h Edition, 1997.
• Discussed potential Transportation Demand Management strategies.
• Assigned p.m. peak hour trips generated by the PGBP-IV development onto the
` transportation network.
• Analyzed existing 2003 and future year 2010 level of service (LOS) during the
weekday p.m. peak hour at the study intersections.
• Assessed transportation concurrency
• Assessed the percent of p.m. peak hour project trips in the 2010 total entering
traffic volumes at the off-site study intersections.
• Analyzed the future 2010 vehicle queues at the study intersections
• Conducted a signal warrant analysis at the future intersections of 59d' Place S/S
200 Street and 59th Place S/S 208th Street
• Identified improvements for consideration at study intersections with the
development of PGBP-IV.
• Identified feasible intersection improvements at intersections anticipated to
t operate at LOS E or F in 2010 with the PGBP-IV redevelopment.
• Recommended feasible project and system improvements with the
redevelopment of PGBP-IV.

Roadway Network
Traffic Impact Study
The major roadways within the immediate vicinity of the PGBP-IV site are West
Valley Highway, S 212' Street, and the S 196hMe Street corridor.
In the site vicinity, West Valley Highway is a seven -lane north -south principal
arterial with a posted speed limit of 50 mites per hour. Based on City of Kent
2001 traffic counts, West Valley Highway (north of S 204th Street) carries
approximately 35,700 vehicles per day (vpd). The West Valley Highway corridor
provides a continuous link between the City of Renton to the north and the City of
Sumner to the south.
In the site vicinity, S 212th Street is a seven -lane east -west principal arterial with
a posted speed limit of 40 milesXer hour. Based on City of Kent 2001 traffic
counts, S 212th Street (west of 64 Avenue S) carries approximately 25,700 vpd.
The S 212th Street corridor provides an east -west connection between 1-5 and SR
167. East of West Valley Highway, S 212th Street includes eastbound and
westbound High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes.
=° In the site vicinity, the S 1%*/200"' Street corridor is a five -lane east -west minor
arterial with a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour. Based on City of Kent
2001 traffic counts, S 196th Street (west of West Valley Highway) carries
approximately 12,400 vpd. The S 196`h120e Street corridor provides an east -
west route through the 'City of Kent between Orillia Road and East Valley
Highway.
Peak -Hour Traffic Volumes
Weekday pm. peak hour traffic volume data was collected in 2002 and 2003 at
the 31 existing study intersections (30 signalized and one roundabout). The
weekday p.m.. peak hour traffic volumes represent the highest hourly volume of
vehicles passing through an intersection on a typical weekday during the 4:00 to
6:00 p.m. peak period. Traffic counts conducted in 2001 showed that traffic
volumes near the site were approximately 15 to 20 percent lower during the
weekday a.m peak hour when compared to the weekday p in peak hour volumes.
Therefore, the weekday p.m. peak hour was analyzed in this study because it
represents the time period where the combination of background traffic volumes
and project -generated traffic volumes are expected to be at their peak.
An annual growth rate of 2 percent was applied to the 2002 traffic volumes to
estimate year 2003 p.m, peak hour traffic volumes. The annual growth rate of 2
percent is consistent with the growth rate projected by the Puget Sound Regional

Council (PSRC) for the Puget Sound region and is also consistent with the growth
rate assumed by other projects recently approved by the City of Kent. Figure 3
shows year 2003 p.m. peak hour traffic volumes at the 31 existing study
intersections.
Transit Service
King County -Metro Transit provides public transportation services along the
PGBP-I site frontage on West Valley Highway and S 196* Street. No transit
service is currently provided along the PGBP-I site frontage on S 2120' Street.
Transit pullouts are located along West Valley Highway at the intersections of S
204" Street, S 208' Street, and S 212°i Street serving routes 150, 154, 160, 247,
and 918.

Existing Level of Service (LOS)
Traft Impaa Study
A 2003 weekday p.m. peak hour level of service (LOS) analysis was conducted at
the 30 signalized study intersections and the existing roundabout. The existing
i channelization at the study intersections is illustrated in figure 4. Existing signal
timing used in the analysis, including phase sequences, minimum pedestrian
clearance times, yellow change intervals, and red clearance times was based on
information included in the City of Kent's Synchro network as of July 2003.
Level of service serves as an indicator of the quality of traffic flow and degree of
congestion at an intersection or roadway segment. It is a measure of vehicle
operating speed, travel time, travel delays, and driving comfort. Level of service
is generally described by a letter scale from A to F. LOS A represents free -flaw
conditions, i.e. motorists experience little or no delays, and LAS F represents
forced -flow conditions.
Table I summarizes the delay range for each level of service at signalized and
unsignalized intersections. The methods used to calculate the levels of service are
described in the Highway Capacity Manua! (Special Report 209, Transportation
Research Board, 2000). The LOS reported for signalized intersections is based on
the overall average control delay (seclveh) at the intersection. The LOS at stop -
controlled intersections is based on the average control delay (sedveh) and is
j reported for each movement.
The results reported by Synchro 5.0 software used in our analysis for the
signalized study intersections incorporate the effects of a coordinated system of
intersections as opposed to analyzing each intersection in isolation.

Tonic Impact So*
The p.m. peak hour LOS analysis results for the signalized study intersections
under 2003 conditions are summarized in table 2. As shown in table 2, 25 of the
30 signalized study intersections currently operate at LOS D or better during the
weekday p.m. peak hour. The remaining 5 study intersections currently operate at
LOS E or LOS F. Detailed level of service summary worksheets are provided in
Appendix A.
It should be noted that the LOS analysis at the study intersections along S 212'
Street between 7204 Avenue S and Fast Valley Highway (#17, 919, 019, #20) does
not include additional capacity provided by the existing eastbound and westbound
HOV lanes. The LOS analysis also does not include additional capacity provided
by the existing eastbound HOV right -tum lane at S 212" St/SR-167 SB ramps
(#25) or the southbound HOV lane at Meeker St/West Valley Highway (#15)_
Therefore the reported results at these locations could be considered conservative
The study intersection of 42nd Avenue S/S 216'h Street (01) is controlled with a
i roundabout. The analysis of the roundabout was based on methodology outlined
in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) for roundabouts. The HCM
methodology provides guidelines for determining v/c ratio for roundabouts but
1 does not provide guidelines for determining LOS. Therefore, the operations of
42nd Avenue S/S 2le Street were assessed in terms v/c ratios. All approaches
are operating with v/c ratios less than 0.60. Detailed worksheets showing
volumes and capacity calculations are included in Appendix A.
The unsignalized study intersections 59di Place SIS 204`h Street (432) and 59 and
59th Place SIS 200 Street (03) are future proposed intersections Therefore, no
existing LOS was reported.

FUTURE ROADWAY CONDITIONS
Planned Transportation Improvements
The purpose of this section is to document the known planned transportation
improvements in the study area. There are six known planned transportation
improvement projects identified in the study area. Five of the planned
improvements were identified in the City of Kent's six-year 2003-2008
Transportation Improvement Program (77P), and none were identified in the City
t of Tukwila's six-year 2003-2008 TIP. Additionally, intersection improvements
were identified at S 212" Street/SR-167 Northbound Ramps as a result of a
proposed development on the north leg of the intersection Please note, the
increased capacity created by the TIP improvements was not considered or used in
our analysis. However, the increased capacity as a result of the improvements at S
? 212" Street/SR-167 Northbound Ramps was included in the future year 2010
level of service analysis.

DETERMINATION OF FUTURE CONDITIONS
I Trip Generation
Net new weekday daily, a.m. peak hour, and p.m. peak hour trip generation
associated with the PGBP-IV redevelopment was calculated based on
methodology included in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (CTE) Trip
Generation Manual, 6"' edition. To determine the net trips associated with full
t redevelopment of PGBP-IV, trips from the existing uses to be redeveloped were
' estimated and then subtracted from trips estimated to be generated by the
proposed future uses.
The proposed PGBP-Tit development includes a total of approximately 2.5
million square feet of office development. The project would likely be developed
in five sub -divisions located within the PGBP-IV site_ The sub -divisions were
' established based on the anticipated access routes for each sub -division.
Appendix, B includes,a figure that defines the boundaries for each sub -division
and the anticipated access routes.
1 1 The trips associated with the existing land uses to be redeveloped were estimated
based on trip rates associated with -the entire Boeing Kent Space Center facility
(approximately 3 million square feet). The existing uses to be redeveloped
include a total of approximately 1.9 million square feet (1.2 million square feet of
office use, 600,000 square feet of manufacturing use, and 80,000 square feet of
warehouse use).
Trip generation equations documented in the ITE Trip Generation manual were
used in the trip estimate for both the future proposed use and the existing on-site
uses based on Figure 3.1 Recommended Procedures for Selecting Between Trip
Generation Average Rates and Equations included in the ITE Trip Generation
Handbook. The trip generation for the PGBP-IV development is summarized in
table 3.

As shown in table 3, the PGBP-IV full redevelopment is estimated to generate a
total of 11,172 net new weekday daily vehicle trips of which 1,476 trips are
estimated to occur during the a.m. peak hour (1,356 entering, 120 exiting) and
1,297 trips are estimated to occur during the p.m peak hour (125 entering, 1,172
' exiting). Detailed trip generation worksheets are included in Appendix C.

Transportation Demand Management
The Commute Trip Reduction Law applies to employers with 100 or more full-
time employees at a single worksite who are scheduled to begin their workday
between 6:00 am. and 9:00 a In. on two or more weekdays. Affected employers
are required to implement programs that encourage employees to reduce their
proportion of single -occupant vehicle commute trips (SOV rate), as well as
vehicle -miles traveled per employee (VMI).
The law does not mandate what or how many transportation demand management
(TDM) elements the worksites should use. That is left to the discretion of the
worksite, although the employer may be required to enhance its program in
subsequent years if the site's SOV rate and/or VMT indicate that there has been
no progress made in achieving goals or if there is an apparent lack of "good faith

effort" on the part of the employer to ensure the program's success. The
following are typical TDM elements:
• Parking Management
• Financial Incentives/Subsidies
• Alternative Work Schedules
• Telework
• Fleet Vehicles for CTR
• Site Amenities
t A TDM program should be considered to reduce the number of employees
traveling by SOV. It should be noted that the trip generation estimate for the full
redevelopment of PGBP-IV does not take into account potential trip reductions
from a successful TDM program Therefore, the analysis included in this report
could be considered conservative.
Trip Distribution and Assignment
The net change in p.m. peak hour trips generated by the PGBP-IV development on
the study intersections was determined by subtracting the trips associated with full
g t use of the existing uses to be redeveloped (entitled trips) from the estimated trips
I ! generated by the proposed uses on PGBP-IV.
The distribution of the trips from the proposed uses was based on information
f included in the Pacific Gateway Business Park — Kent Revised Site Circulation
and Access Analysis. Based on the -study, approximately 20 percent of traffic
generated from the site would originate or be destined to the north, 20 percent
t
would originate or be destined to the south, 25 percent would originate or be
destined to the east, and 35 percent would originate or be destined to the west.
[ The local distribution of project trips assumes the extension of S 2ah Street and
S 208"Street from West Valley Highway to 59'h Place S.
Figure 5 shows the assignment of the net change in the p.m. peak hour trips
j generated by the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV onto the roadway network
through the study area intersections. Some of the study intersections shown in
} Figure 5 show a net decrease in trips (i.e. 64'h Avenue S/S 212'h Street) as a result
b of the PGBP-N development. This is due to the difference in the distribution of
entitled trips and the estimated future trips associated with the PGBP-IV site. The
i distribution of PGBP-IV trips assumes the extension of S 200 Street and S 2080'
Street from West Valley Highway to 59'h Place S. These new connections would
provide additional access points to and from the PGBP-fV site which do not exist
today.

Pacific Gate" k%*m Park -IV Traffic Impact Study
Future Traffic Volumes
Future year 2010 baseline traffic volumes used in the analysis were estimated i
based the sum of: a) existing traffic volumes with an annual 2 percent growth rate
to the horizon year 2010, b) future pipeline projects identified by the City of Kent, ;
and c) trips associated with full use of existing buildings on the Boeing Space
Center site. 1
The annual growth rate of 2 percent used to estimate growth in background traffic
is consistent with the growth rate projected by the Puget Sound Regional Council !
(PSRC) for the Puget Sound region and is also consistent with the growth rate }
assumed by other projects approved by the City of Kent. I
! The future pipeline projects included in the 2010 baseline traffic volumes include:
• PGBP-I (2.4 million square feet of industrial park)
• PGBP-R (1.0 million square feet of industrial park)
r • PGBP-III (no new square feet)
• Polygon Multifamily Development (67 units)
Based on the July 2003 traffic counts that were conducted at the entrances to the
Boeing Kent Space Center site, the existing site currently generates 1,055 p.m.
peak hour trips, with less than full occupancy or utilization. However, it is our
understanding that this is considered a short-term trend for purposes of analysis
given the cyclic nature of current uses on the site. Therefore, ITE Trip
Generation Manual was used to estimate the number of trips that could be
generated by the existing site. If fully occupied, the existing uses would be
expected to generate a total of 2,862 p.m. peak hour trips The difference in the
ITE trip estimate (2,862 trips) and the actual counts conducted in July 2003 (1,055
trips) was then added to the study intersections to establish 2010 baseline
conditions (1,807 trips added). The distribution of p.m. peak hour trips associated
with full use of the existing buildings on the Boeing Space Center site (1,807
trips) are summarized in Appendix D.

Future year 2010 p.m. peak hour traffic volumes with the PGBP-IV development
were estimated by adding the net change in p.m. peak hour trips (figure 5) to the
2010 baseline traffic volumes (figure 6). Adjustments to the distribution of the
,l PGBP PGBP-II project trips were made to reflect the current plan for PGBP-11
I I which includes the assumption that the area north of S 208u' Street (approximately
30 percent of the area) may no longer have access to the intersection of 66th
Avenue SIS 212`h St. These trips that were shined from 66'h Avenue S to 591'

Future Levels of Service
Tronc 6np= Study
Future year 2010 level of service was analyzed at the 30 signalized study
intersections and the roundabout with and without the PGBP-IV development.
Additionally, the operations at the proposed unsignalized intersections of 590
Place SIS 200 Street and 59°1 Place S/S 200 Street were analyzed under 2010
with project conditions. The channelization used in the future year LOS analysis
is illustrated in figure 4.
The results of the horizon year 2010 LOS analysis at the signalized study
intersections with and without the PGBP4V development are summarized in
table 4. As shown in table 4, 12 of the 30 signalized study intersections are
expected to operate at LOS E or LOS F in 2010 without the PGBP-rV
development. A total of 13 signalized study intersections are expected to operate
at LOS E or F in 2010 with the PGBP-1V full redevelopment.
As previously noted, the distribution of PGBP-IV trips assumes that S 204"' Street
and S 20e Street would be extended from West Valley Highway to 59"' Place S
on the PGBP-1V site. Traffic volumes at 64d' Ave SIS 212th Street are thus
expected to decrease as the new connections would provide additional access
points to and from the PGBP-N site which do not exist today. Therefore, the
P j intersection of 60 Ave S/S 2126 Street (47) is expected to improve from LOS E
to LOS D in 2010 with the PGBP-IV redevelopment. The intersections of West
Valley Hwy/S 199x' Place (#2) and West Valley Hwy/S 2080' Street (#4) are
anticipated to degrade from LOS B and LOS C, respectively, to LOS F with the
PGBP-IV redevelopment in 2010. Detailed level of service summary worksheets
are provided in Appendix A.

Future operations of the roundabout at the intersection of 42nd Avenue SIS 2160,
Street (#31) were analyzed for 2010 conditions with and without the PGBP-IV
redevelopment. In 2010 without PGBP-IV, all approaches are expected to operate
with v/c ratios less than or equal to 0.83. In 2010 with the PGBP-IV
development, all approaches are expected to operate with v/c ratios less than or
equal to 0.88. Detailed worksheets showing volumes and capacity calculations
are included in Appendix A.
Future operations at the two proposed unsignalized on-site intersections were
analyzed and summarized in table 5 below. As shown in table 5, the stop -
controlled westbound left -turn movements at both intersections are expected to
operate at LOS F in 2010 with the PGBP-IV redevelopment. The westbound
right -turn at 50h Place S/S 204" Street is also anticipated to operate at LOS F in
2010 with the PGBP-IV full redevelopment.

t Concurrency
Transportation Concurrency was measured in five of the City's Mobility
Management Zones (MMZs). The capacities of each of the arterials crossing the
MMZ boundaries and in the vicinity of critical intersections and links were totaled
to develop a MMZ arterial capacity. Similarly, the estimated traffic volumes
crossing the boundaries and in the vicinity of critical intersections were totaled.
The ratio of volume to capacity was then developed and compared to the arterial
threshold for the MMZ. Table 6 provides a summary of this assessment. As
( shown, each of the five MMZs analyzed are expected to operate better than the
1 City's acceptable arterial threshold. Therefore, the PGBP-IV redevelopment
meets the City's concurrency standards. Detailed concurrency calculations are
included in Appendix E.

It should be noted that Boeing has contributed several million dollars towards
multiple corridor projects to help work towards the goal of improved mobility
throughout the City.

Traffic imp a Study
As shown in table 7, at the study intersections adjacent to the PGBP-IV site, the
trips generated by the PGBP-[V redevelopment are estimated to account for
between approximately five and twenty percent of the total entering traffic at the
study intersections during the p.m. peak hour in 2010. However, project trips are
expected to decrease to between one and ton percent of the total entering traffic in
2010 at the study intersections outside a one -block radius of the PGBP-IV site.
Traffic volumes at two of the study intersections (66th Avenue S1S 2124 Street
and 64d' Avenue S/S 2le Street) are expected to decrease with the development
of PGBP-IV. This is due to the difference in the distribution of existing trips and
the future trips associated with the PGBP-N site layout. The distribution of
PGBP-IV trips assumes the extension of S 20411 Street and S 208d' Street from
West Valley Highway to 5911 Place S. These new connections would provide
additional access points to and from the PGBP-IV site which do not exist today.
Queuing Analysis
Per the request of the City, the adequacy of left -turn and right -turn queue storage
was assessed at the 30 signalized study intersections. Per the City's request, the
queue lengths were rounded to the nearest 25 feet. A summary of the anticipated
951h percentile queue lengths for Left -turn and right -turn movements at the 30
signalized study intersections and the queue calculation worksheets are included
in Appendix F.
i As shown in Appendix F, there are 41 movements (at 20 of the 30 signalized
study intersections) that are anticipated to exceed the available queue storage in
2010 without the PGBP-1V development and 42 movements (at 22 of the 30
signalized study intersections) that are anticipated to exceed the available queue
t storage in 2010 with the PGBP-IV development. A discussion of these
movements and potential improvements is included in the "Improvements for
Consideration" section on the following page.
As previously stated, the LOS results for the signalized intersections were
calculated using the Synchro 5.0 software which is based on methodologies
' presented in the HCK 2000 Edition, and incorporates the effects of a coordinated
system of intersections. However, for locations where left -tum and right -turn
queues are expected to exceed the available storage, the LOS results do not reflect
" the additional delay associated with potential blockage of the adjacent through
lane. A footnote has been included in the LOS tables shown in this report to help
l i understand which locations this is expected to occur. The LOS results for the
intersections that are expected to experience queue spillover should be used with
caution.
! Please note, our analysis of queuing represents a condition that is only expected to
be exceeded 5 percent of the time and does not represent the conditions

}
throughout the entire peak hour. This condition is typically used in the design of
tum lanes and is considered standard practice.
Per the request of the City of Kent, vehicle queues were also estimated at the two
proposed unsignalized intersections on 59`° Place S at S 20e St and S 208°i St
based on Highway Capacity Manual methodology. A summary of the anticipated
9P percentile queue lengths for left -tum and right -tum movements at the two
unsignalized intersections is included in Appendix F. Since these are future
proposed intersections, it is anticipated that the future channelization would be
designed to accommodate the anticipated queues.
Signal Warrant Analysis
Per the request of the Cit? of Kent, a signal warrant analysis was completed at the
future 'intersection of 59 Place S/S 20e Street and 59th Place SIS 208th Street_
Signal wan -ants were based on guidelines included in the US Department of
Transportation/Federal Highway Administration, Manual of Uniform Trafc
Control Devices (MUTCD).
Future traffic volumes used in the analysis were based on the estimated 2010 p.m.
peak hour volumes with PGBP-IV shown in figure 7. The only traffic volumes
'j available applicable to signal warrants were the pm. peak hour traffic volumes
therefore, the signal warrant analyzed included MUTCD Warrant 3 - Peak Hour.
MUTCD Warrant 3 — Peak Hour, is based on peak hour volumes on the major and
minor streets. The estimated 2010 p.m. peak hour volumes on the major street of
S 59" Place is approximately 1,100 vehicles — total of both approaches. The
minor street approach of S 20401 Street is estimated to include 613 p in. peak hour
trips and the minor street approach of S 20e Street is estimated to include 627
p.m. peak hour trips. Based on MUTCD Figure 4C-3 — Warrant 3, Peak Hour,
these volumes would satisfy this warrant. Signal warrant worksheets are included
in Appendix G.
Improvements for Consideration
Per the City of Kent, signalized intersections expected to operate at LOS G or F
(13 intersections), and left- or right -tum lanes with queues estimated to exceed the
available storage (42 tum lanes) in 2010 with the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV
were identified and are summarized in the following tables 8 and 9.
Improvements that may improve operations were also identified for consideration
at these locations. Level of service calculations with the improvements for
consideration are included in Appendix H.

Table 10 summarizes the intersection improvements included in tables 8 and 9
tbat were determined to be feasible at study intersections expected to operate at
LOS E of LOS F or with queues expected to exceed the existing storage in 2010
with PGBP-N The criteria used to determine the feasibility of an improvement
was primarily based on whether or not right of way may be required from others.

Additional intersections where LOS and queue improvements were considered but
determined to not be feasible are discussed below.
LOS Improvernentr
Meeker Street/West YdlevHiQhway (Inlersection #15)
The improvement for consideration of an eastbound right -tum lane to improve
LOS at Meeker Street/West Valley Highway was determined to be not feasible
due to right of way constraints. The redevelopment of PGBP-IV is expected to
account for less than 2 percent of the total entering volumes at the intersection in
2010 with PGBP-[V. Therefore, the effect of the PGBP-f V redevelopment is not
expected to be significant
S 212'" Street/East Valley ftirwav (Intersection #20)
Constructing a second southbound left -turn lane at S 212'h Street/East Valley
Highway was determined to be not feasible due to right of way constraints_ The
redevelopment of PGBP-IV is expected to account for less than 4 percent of the
total entering volumes at the intersection in 2010 with PGBP-IV Therefore, the
effect of the PGBP-IV redevelopment is not expected to be significant.
Queue Irnprovunents
James Street/West valley X:ghway_(Intersection #1:0
The improvements for consideration to provide additional queue storage at for the
southbound left -tum lanes at lames Street/West Valley Highway was determined
to be not feasible due to potential right of way constraints- The redevelopment of
PGBP-IV is expected to increase the 95'h percentile southbound left -tum queue by
25 feet (approximately one vehicle) per lane compared to the queue under 2010
baseline conditions. Therefore, the increase in queue length as a result of the
PGBP-1V redevelopment is not expected to be significant.
Meeker Street/West Palley Highway (Intersection #15)
The improvement to provide additional queue storage at Meeker StreetlWest
Valley Highway for the westbound left -turn was determined to be not feasible due
to potential right of way constraints. The 95'h percentile queue for the westbound
left -turn is anticipated to increase by 25 feet as a result of the PGBP-IV
redevelopment The project is not expected to add any trips to the westbound left -
turn movement. Therefore, the increase in queue length as a result of the PGBP-
IV redevelopment is not expected to be significant.

Recommended improvemen(s
Recommended Project Improvements
Project improvements were defined as improvements providing direct access to or
from the PGBP-IV site. The following provides a discussion of the feasible
?
improvements that are considered project improvements The listed
improvements are recommended to be completed with the full redevelopment of
PGPB-IV. In addition to the recommended improvements listed below, it is also
recommended that the queue storage at all approaches exiting the PGBP-IV site
j
be designed to accommodate the anticipated 950' percentile queues in 2010 with
the full redevelopment of PGBP-N.
i
62"d Avenue S/S 196`* Street (Intersection #1)
With the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV, it is anticipated the northbound left -turn
movement would exceed the available storage at this intersection (400 feet per
lane). With the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV, the estimated northbound left -
turn queue is 525 feet per lane. Therefore, the northbound dual left -tum lanes are
recommended to be extended to accommodate the anticipated 525 foot queue (per
lane).
S 190 PlacelWest Valley Hi2hwav (Intersection 92)
This intersection is expected to operate at LOS B without the proposed project
and LOS F with the proposed project in 2010_ The recommend improvement at
this location is the construction of an additional eastbound left -turn lane. In
addition, modifications to the signal phasing are recommended to include
east/west split phasing.
S 208'k StreetlWesl Valley Highway (Intersection #4)
This intersection and is expected to operate at LOS C without the proposed
project and LOS F with the proposed project in 2010 There are two potential
improvements to be considered at this location. It is recommended that one of the
following be implemented -
a) The construction of a southbound right -tum lane and modification of the
eastbound approach to add an eastbound right -tum lane and convert the
eastbound through lane to a shared left-thru lane. Also remove the
-
crosswalk on the north leg, and modify the signal phasing to include
cast/west split phasing.
b) Provide an internal connection between S 200' Street and S 208"i Street
on the PGBP-IV site, which would allow exiting vehicles destined
1
northbound to exit at either S 2040' Street or S 208'h Street

S 204* Street/59" Place S and S 20e Street/59" P1 S (432 & #33)
These intersections currently do not exist and are proposed in the future with the
full redevelopment of PGBP-[V. The westbound stop controlled movements at
these intersections are expected to operate at LOS F. A peak hour signal warrant
analysis was completed at these intersections and it was determined that both
intersections would meet the peak hour warrant based on the estimated 2010
traffic volumes. However, the satisfaction of a single signal warrant in itself does
not necessitate the installation of a traffic signal. Therefore, we recommend these
intersections be monitored as redevelopment of the P(3BP-IV site continues to
determine iVwhen a signal may be appropriate In the future
Recommended System Improvements
t
The following improvements are considered system improvements, not project
improvements specifically related to the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV. This
conclusion is based on the fact that the increase in volumes at these locations is
} primarily due to the increase in background traffic. If the City or others plan to
build the improvements fisted, it would be appropriate for the project to pay its
pro -rata share of the cost of the improvement
S 212ei Stree1/64o' Avenue S 07)
The northbound left -tum lane at this intersection Is expected to exceed the
available storage (200 feet) both with and without the project (475 feet with
project). The project is expected to increase the queue at tins location by 125 feet.
Therefore, it its recommended that the project either extend the left -tum lane by
125 feet or contribute its pro -rata share (45 percent = 125'1275') toward the
construction of the ultimate improvement at this location
S 196h Street/West Valley Hwhwav 09
This intersection is expected to operate at LOS E without the proposed project and
LOS F with the proposed project in 2010 The recommended improvement at flus
y location is the construction of an eastbound right -turn lane. If the City or others
plan to build this improvement, it would be appropriate for the project to pay its
pro -rata share (7.60/9) of the cost of the improvement

ANALYSIS WITH PGBP—IV AND AN ADDITIONAL 1.2
MILLION SF ON PG$P-1
! A traffic unpact study was prepared for the additional 1.2 million sf of industrial
i } park on PGBP-I and is dated July 28, 2003. Per the City's request, an analysis
f ' was completed to assess the cumulative impacts of the proposed PGBP-fV
redevelopment with an additional 1.2 million sf of industrial park on the PGBP-I
site.
To establish the future 201.0 traffic volumes with PGBP-IV and an additional 1.2
t million sf on the PGBP-I site, the distribution of p -m. peak hour project trips from
the additional 1.2 million sf included in the July 28, 2003 traffic study (869 trips)
were added to the traffic volumes shown in Figure 7 (2010 PM Peak Hour
t Volumes with PGBP-iV). Figure 8 includes the 2010 pm. peak hour volumes
with PGBP-IV and an additional 1-2 million sf on PGBP-L These volumes were
then used to assess LOS, concurrency, queuing, and disclose Improvements for
{ consideration.

1 Future Levels of Service
Future year 2010 level of service was analyzed at the 30 signalized study
intersections, the roundabout, and the two future unsignalized intersections for
conditions with PGBP-[V and an additional 1.2 million sf on the PGBP-1 site.
The channel'tzation used in the LOS analysis was the same as the channel'rzation
illustrated in figure 4.
The results of the horizon year 2010 LOS analysis with PGBP-IV and with an
additional 1.2 million sf on the PGBP-I site are summarized in table 11. The
results of LOS analysis with PGBP-lV only are also summarized in table 11 for
comparison purposes.
rr
_ As shown in table 11, 13 of the 30 signalized study intersections are expected to
operate at LOS E or LOS F in 2010 with PGBP-N only The following two
additional intersections are expected to degrade to LOS E or F with the
l development of PGBP-fV and the additional 1.2 million sf on PGBP-I:
• 59" Place SIS 212"' Street (#8)
.1
• West Valley HighwaylJarnes Street (# l4)
Z Therefore, a total of 15 signalized study intersections are expected to operate at
LOS E or F with PGBP-1V and the additional 12 million sf on PGBP-I in the
? horizon year 2010. Detailed level of service summary worksheets are provided in

Future operations of the roundabout at the intersection of 42nd Avenue SIS 218"
Street (##31) were also analyzed for 2010 conditions with PGBP-CV and with an
additional 1.2 million sf on PGBP4. In 2010 with PGBP-IV only, all approaches
are expected to operate with We ratios less than or equal to 0.88. In 2010 with
PGBP-N and an additional 1.2 million sf on PGBP-1, all approaches are expected
to operate with vie ratios less than or equal to 0.90. Detailed worksheets showing
volumes and capacity calculations are included in Appendix A.
Future operations at the two proposed unsignalized intersections on 50' Place S
were analyzed and summarized in table 12 below. As shown, the stop controlled
westbound left -turn movements at both intersections are expected to operate at
EAS F with PGBP-[V and with or without an additional 1.2 million sf on PGBP-I.
In addition, the westbound right -true movement at 59t° Place S/S 204d' Street is
also expected to operate at LOS F with PGBP-IV and with or without an

Concurrency
Transportation Concurrency was measured in five of the City's Mobility
Management Zones (MMZs). The capacities of each of the arterials crossing the
MMZ boundaries and in the vicinity of critical intersections and links were totaled
to develop a MMZ arterial capacity. Similarly, the estimated traffic volumes
crossing the boundaries and in the vicinity of critical intersections were totaled.
The ratio of volume to capacity was then developed and compared to the arterial
threshold for the MMZ Table 13 provides a summary of this assessment. As
shown, each of the five MMZs analyzed are expected to operate better than the
City's acceptable arterial threshold. Therefore, the full redevelopment of PGBP-
IV and an additional 1.2 million sf on PGBP-I meets the City's concurrency
standards. Detailed concturency calculations are included in Appendix E.
It should be noted that Boeing has contributed several million dollars towards
multiple corridor projects to help work towards the goal of improved mobility
throughout the City

Queuing Analysis
Per the request of the City, the adequacy of left -tum and right -tum queue storage
was assessed at the 30 signalized study intersections with PGBP-IV and with an
additional 1.2 million sf on PGBP-I, Per the City's request, the queue lengths
were rounded to the nearest 25 feet. A summary of the anticipated 95h percentile
T queue lengths for left -tum and right -tum movements at the 30 signalized study
intersections is included in Appendix F. The queue calculation worksheets are
r; also included in Appendix F.
4 As shown in Appendix F, there are 42 movements (at 22 of the 30 signalized
study intersections) that are anticipated to exceed the available queue storage in
2010 with PGBP-IV and with or without an additional 1.2 million sf on PGBP-I.
Per the request of the City of Kent, vehicle queues were also estimated at the two
proposed unsignalized intersections on 59th Place S at S 204' St and S 208'1i St
based on Highway Capacity Manual methodology. A summary of the anticipated
95th percentile queue lengths for left -tum and right -tum movements at the two
unsignalized intersections with PGBP IV and an additional 1 2 million sf on
PGBP-1 is included in Appendix F Since these are future proposed intersections,
1 it is anticipated that the future channelization would be designed to accommodate
the anticipated queues.
Improvements for Consideration
LOS improvements for consideration, in addition to those identified in table 8
were identified at LOS E or f study intersections with PGPB-N and an additional
{ 1.2 million sf on PGBP-I The additional improvements for consideration are
shown in table 14 Level of service calculations are included in Appendix H.

ANALYSIS WITH RESTRICTED ACCESS
Per the request of the City of Kent, an additional analysis at the study intersections
adjacent to the project site (study intersections #1 - #9) was completed for a
scenario in which access to and from the PGBP-IV site would be restricted to the
signalized intersections of West Valley Hwy/S 2046' St and 64h Ave SIS 2126' St.
Future 2010 p.m. peak hour traffic volumes used in the analysis included trips
from the scenario with PGBP-IV and an additional 1.2 million square feet of
industrial park on PGBP-I. The net trip assignment of PGBP-IV project trips with
restricted access is shown in figure 9. Figure 10 includes the total 2010 p.m
peak hour traffic volumes with PGBP-1V and access restrictions.
Future Levels of Service and Queuing
The future year 2010 LOS at the nine signalized study intersections adjacent to the
site under the restricted access scenario is summarized in table 15. As shown,
five of the nine study intersections are expected to operate at LOS E or F without
access restrictions. With access restrictions, three intersections would continue to
operate at LOS E or LOS F, two intersections would improve from LOS F to LOS
B, one intersection would degrade from LOS C to LOS F, and one intersection
would degrade from LOS D to LOS F. lite detailed level of service calculations
are included in Appendix A.

Traffic tmpxt Study
i Vehicle queues were also determined with the restricted access scenario. As a
E result, 14 movements at the nine study intersections are expected to exceed the
existing available storage. A summary of the anticipated 95"' percentile queue
lengths for left -turn and right -tum movements at the nine signalized study
intersections and the queue calculation worksheets are included in Appendix F
In 2010 with the restricted access scenario, the signalized intersections of West
Valley Highway/S 2041h Street (0) and 64u' Avenue S/S 212a' Street (#7) are
anticipated to degrade from LAS C and LOS D, respectively, to LOS F during the
p.m. peak hour. The intersections of West Valle+ Highway/S 196" Street (99),
West Valley Highway/S 21P Street (#5) and 59 Ave S/S 212'h Street (#8) are
also anticipated to operate at LAS E or F with the access restrictions in 2010.
T
Given the redistribution of PGBP-IV trips with the access restrictions, there are
some queue lengths that are anticipated to improve as a result of access
restrictions. However, there are a number of anticipated queue lengths that would
increase as a result of the access restrictions. The 95d' percentile queue for
eastbound left -turns exiting the site at S 204'' Street is estimated to increase from
175 feet without access restrictions to over 2,000 feet with access restrictions. At
64'h Ave S, the queue for southbound left-tums exiting the site is estimated to be
900 feet (150 feet without access restrictions) and the southbound rigbt-tum queue
y) exiting the site is estimated to be 700 feet (75 feet without access restrictions)_
Additionally, the queue for the eastbound left -tum at S 212a' Street/West Valley
Highway is estimated to increase from 300 feet without access restrictions to 675
feet which would extend to near the 60 Ave S on S 212th Street and block the
turn pocket for westbound left -turns into 6e Ave S. The queue for the
northbound left -turn at S 196'" Street/West Valley Highway is estimated to be
i 1000 feet with access resinctions compared to 250 feet without access restrictions.
Therefore, the northbound left -turn queue would extend to S 199"Place on West
Valley Highway and block the turn pocket for southbound left-tums into S 199th
Place.
To improve the operations with the restricted access scenario, additional access
points with gates would need to be provided to better distribute entering and
exiting vehicles to the PGBP-IV site.

foot separation from any other class 11 or Al group

tioa facility be sited adjacent to, immediately
across the street or parking lot from, or within the
line of sight of risk potential activities or facilities
in existence at the time a site is listed for consider-
ation. Within line of sight means that it is possible
to reasonably visually distinguish and recognize
individuals. For the purposes of granting a condi-
tional use permit for siting a secure community
transition facility, the hearing examiner shall con-
sider an unobstructed visual distance of six hun-
dred (600) feet to be "within line of sight." During
the conditional use permit process for a secure
community transition facility, "line of sight" may
be considered to be less than sur hundred (600) feet
if the applicant can demonstrate that visual barriers
exist or can be created that would reduce the line of
sight to less than six hundred (600) feet. This dis-
tance shall be measured by following a straight
line, without regard to intervening buildings, from
the nearest point of the property or parcel upon
which the proposed use is to be located, to the sear -
cat point of the parcel or property or the land use
district boundary line from which the proposed use
is to be separated For the purpose of granting a
conditional use permit for a secure community
transition facility, the hearing examiner shall give
great weight to equitable distribution so that the
city shall nqt be subject to a disproportionate share
of similar facilities of a state-wide, regional, or
county -wide nature.

15.04.150 Special use combining district, SU.
It is the purpose of the SU district to provide for
special controls for certain uses which do not
clearly fit into other districts, which may be due to
technological and social changes, or which are of
such unique character as to warrant special atten-
tion in the interest of the city's optimum develop-
ment and the preservation and enhancement of its
environmental quality. A special use combining
district is imposed on an existing zoning district,
permitting the special use as well as uses permitted
by the underlying zone. The combining district
becomes void if substantial construction has not
begun within a one-year period, and the district
reverts to its original zoning designation. It is the
15-55 (revisedttro21
15.04.150
intent of the special use combining regulations to
provide the city with adequate procedures for con-
trolling and reviewing such uses and to discourage
application for speculative rezoning.
A. Uses subject to special use combining dis-
trict regulations. The following list is illustrative
of the types of uses subject to special use combin-
ing district regulations and is not intended to be
exclusive:
1. Uses which occupy or would occupy large

2. Uses which would involve the construction
of buildings orother structures of unusual height or
mass.
3. Uses which house, employ, or serve large
numbers of people.
4. Uses which generate heavy ttaffic.
5. Uses which have unusual impact on envi-
ronmental quality of the area.
6. Any use which does not lend itself to an
interpretation of substantial similarity to other uses
identified or described in this title.
7. Uses which, in the judgment of the plan-
ning manager, warrant review by the land use and
planning board and the city council.
8 Examples of uses subject to review as
described in this subsection would include but are
not limited to the following:
a. Commercial uses: sports stadiums,
rodeos, fairgrounds, exhibition orconvention halls,
merchandise marts, and drive-in theaters.
b. Special environmental problems posed
by: refineries, nuclear power generating plants, air-
ports, heliports, sanitary landfills, extractive indus-
{'. s, solid waste incinerators, or energy/resource
1Ctovery facilities.
c. Hazardous wastes: offsite hazardous
waste treatment or storage facilities in Ml and M2
districts only, subject to the provisions of KCC
15 08.050.
B Application procedures. The application
procedure for a special use combining district shall
be the same as for an amendment to this title as pro-
vided in KCC 15.09.050, except that development
plan approval is concurrent with the combining
district.
C. Documentation required Requited docu-
mentation is as follows:

15.04.160 Development standards.
The development standards tables in KCC
15.04.170 and 15.04.190 determine the specific
development standards for a zoning district. The
development standards are located on the horizon-
tal rows and the zoning districts are located on the
vertical columns of these tables. The minimum
dimensional requirements are located in the box at
the intersection of the column and the row. The
parenthetical numbers in the boxes identify spe-
cific requirements applicable either to a special use
or the entire zone. The parenthetical numbers cor-
respond to numbers in the subsection immediately
following each table.

Line Adjustments:The density in a cluster subdi-
vision shall be no greater than the density that
would be allowed on the parcel as a whole, mclud-
ing all critical areas (creeks, wetlands, geological
hazard areas), and buffers, using the maximum
density provisions of the zoning district in which it
is located.
The common open space in a cluster subdivision
shalt be a minimum of fifty (50) percent of the non -
constrained area of the parcel. The nonconstnuned
area of the parcel includes all areas of the parcel,
minus critical areas, as defined in RCW
36.70A.030(5) as currently and hereinafter
amended, and buffers. The remainder of the non -
constrained area of the parcel shall be the buildable
area of the parcel. The common open space tracts
created by clustering shall be located and config-
ured in the manner that best connects and increases
protective buffers for environmentally sensitive
areas, connects and protects area wildlife habim
creates connectivity between the open space pro-
vided by the clustering and other adjacent open
spaces as well as existing or planned public parks
and trails, and maintains scenic vistas. Critical
areas and buffers shall not be used in determining
lot size and common open space requirements in a
cluster subdivision. All natural features (such as
streams and their buffers, significant stands of
frees, and rock outcropping), as well as sensitive
ili'eas (such as steep slopes and wetlands and their
buffers) shall be preserved, as open space in a clus-
ter subdivision.
Future development of the common open space
shalt be prohibited. Except as specified on
recorded documents creating the common open
space, all common open space resulting from lot
clustering shall not be altered or disturbed in a
manner that degrades adjacent environmentally
sensitive areas, rural areas, agricultural areas, or
resource lands; impairs scenic vistas and the con-
nectivity between the open space provided by the
clustered development and adjacent open spaces;
degrades wildlife habitat; and impairs the recre-
ational benefits enjoyed by the residents of the

development. Such common open spaces may be
retained under ownership by the owner or subdi-
vider, conveyed to residents of the development,
conveyed to a homeowners' association for the
benefit of the residents of the development, con-
veyed to the city with the city's consent and
approval or to another party upon approval of the
city of Kent.
The minimum lot size of individual lots within a
clustered subdivision is two thousand five hundred
(2,500) square feet, and the minimum lot width is
thirty (30) feet. In the event that common open
space prohibits development of one single-family
residence on the parcel, the common open space
will be reduced by the amount necessary to meet
the minimum two thousand five hundred (2,500)
square foot lot size New lots created by any subdi-
vision action shall be clustered to groups not
exceeding eight (8) units. There may be more than
one (1) cluster per project. Separation between
cluster groups shall be a minimum of one hundred
twenty (120) feet. Sight -obscuring fences are not
permitted along cluster lot lines adjacent to the
open spare area.
32. For multifamily townhouse developments
that attach three (3) units, the minimum building to
building separation shall be ten (10) feet. For
duplexand single-family condominium townhouse

urban separator, as designated on the City of Kent
Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map, dwelling
units may be clustered, subject to the applicable
provisions of Ch. 12.04 KCC.

open space equal to that area that would be
required for recreational vehicle parking. A vehicle
less than twenty (20) feet long that is used as pri-
mary transportation is not subject to recreational
vehicle parking regulations. If open space in lieu of
recreational vehicle parking is provided, its appro-
priateness will be determined at the time of devel-
opment plan review by the planning department.
Where enclosed garages are utilized to provide
parking required by this title, an eighteen (18) foot
stacking space shall be provided in front of such
garage units. Provided, however, the planning
director shall have the authority to approve altema-
live plans where the developer can assure that such
garage units will continue to be available for park-
ing purposes and will not cause onsite parking or
circulation problems. -Mose assurances include but
are not limited to. (1) covenants that run with the
land or homeowners' association that require
garages to be utilized for the storage of vehicles,
(2) maintenance of drive aisle widths of twenty-six
(26) feet in front of each garage unit, and (3) main-
tenance of minimum clearances for fire lanes on

and eight -tenths (1.8) spaces per dwelling unit and
also shalt show which spaces are not to be initially
installed. The additional spaces, plus any required
landscaping, shall be installed if at any time the
structure is not used for senior citizen apartments
or if the facility shows a continued shortage of
parking
b. The requirement of one (1) space per
dwelling unit may be reduced to no less than one
(1) space for every two (2) dwelling units plus
employee parking as determined by the planning
director. The planning director shall base his deci-
sion on the following:
(1) Availability of private, convenient,
regular transportation services to meet the needs of
the tenants;
(2) Accessibility to and frequency of
public transportation;
(3) Pedestrian access to health, medical
and shopping facilities;
(4) Minimum age requirement to reside
in subject apartments;

be considered as providing required parking facili-
ties for any other use, except as permitted in sub-
section (C) of this section pertaining to joint use.
C. Joint use. The minimum amount of off-street
parking required by KCC 15.05 040(A) may be
reduced by the planning director when shared park-
ing facilities for two (2) or more uses are proposed
if:
I. The total parking area exceeds five thou-
sand (5,000) square feet;
2. The parking facilities are designed and
developed as a single onsite common parking facil-
ity, or as a system of onsite and offsite facilities if
all facilities are connected with improved pedes-
trian facilities and located within five hundred
(500) feet of the buildings or use areas they are
intended to serve;
3 The amount of reduction in off-street park-
ing does not exceed ten (10) percent peruse unless
it is documented that the peak parking demand
hours of two (2) or more uses are separate by at
least one (1) hour;
4. The subject properties are legally encum-
bered by an easement or other appropriate means
which provide for continuous joint use of the park-
ing facilities. Documentation shall require review

program filed with the city. Based upon a review of
this program and input from other staff members, a
reduction of up to twenty (20) percent of the mini-
mum standard may be approved. Any reduction in
the amount of required parking is only valid for as
long as the approved CTR program is in effect. An
invalidated program or a change in use or opera-
tions would result in the application of the underly-
ing standards per KCC 15.05.040(A) of the zoning
code.
2 The planning director may reduce the num-
ber of required oft -street parking stalls for busi-
nesses which do not have a commute trip reduction

15.06.010 Purpose.
A. The purpose of this chapter is to establish
regulations for signs in order to promote the public
health, safety and general welfare. It is further the
intention of this chapter to harmonize the legiti-
mate private purposes of signs, that is, the identifi-
cation and promotion of the seller to the buyer,
with public purposes. Public purposes include con-
siderations of traffic safety and economic and aes-
thetic welfare. Unregulated signs may divert the
driver's attention from the road, causing a traffic
hazard In addition, conflicts between private signs
and traffic control signs result in unsafe traffic con-
ditions. The economic base of the city is, to some
extent, dependent upon maintaining an attractive
area, both as to natural and manmade features, in
which to visit, live and work.
B. Regulation of signs also serves to promote
the private purposes of signs. Signs have become
larger, more numerous and more expensive as a
result of competition for attention. This competi-
tion of signs has, in some cases, defeated the very
purposes for which they were created. The elimina-
tion of destructive competition between signs thus
enhances the private purposes of signs as well as
promotes the public health, safety and general wel-
fare.
15.06.020 Scope.
This chapter applies to all existing and future
signs within the corporate boundaries of the city,
but does not apply to signs located within a build-
ing or structure

poles, trees, fences or other signs, or to rocks or
natural features.

3. Ensure reasonable opportunity for continu-
ation of legally established uses which do not con-
form to use regulations for the district in which
they are located.
4. Encourage the eventual replacement of
nonconforming uses having potentially undesir-
able impacts on conforming uses.
5. Encourage the eventual upgrading of non-
conforming buildings, structures, and site develop-
ment features which do not comply with current
minimum requirements for the district in which
they are located
B. Applicability. Nonconforming uses, struc-
tures, lots, or signs are not favored by law and this
title, and it is to avoid injustice that this title accepts
such elements. To benefit from the protection
given to nonconforming development, such use,
structure, or sign must have been lawfully estab-
lished pursuant to a county resolution in effect at
the time of annexation which rendered it noncon-
forming, or it must have been lawfully established
prior to the effective date of this chapter or subse-
quent amendments thereto, or lawfully established
prior to the purchase or condemnation of right-of-
way by the city of Kent. This section distinguishes
between and defines nonconforming uses, major
nonconforming buildings and structures, minor
nonconforming buildings and structures, noncon-
forming lots of record and nonconforming signs.
Different requirements are made applicable to each
of these categories. The degree of restriction made
applicable to each separate category is dependent
upon the degree to which that category of noncon-
formance is a nuisance or incompatible with the
purpose and requirements of this title.
C. Nonconforming uses.
1. Applicability of restrictions. Regulations
applicable to nonconforming uses are in addition to
regulations applicable to nonconforming struc-
tures, W. and signs, and in the event of any con-
flict the most restrictive provisions shall apply.
2. Expansion of nonconforming uses. No
existing building, structure, or land devoted to a
nonconforming use shall be expanded, enlarged,
extended, reconstructed. intensified, or structurally
altered unless the use thereof is changed to a use
permitted in the district in which such building,
structure, or land is located except as follows:
When authorized by conditional use permit, a non-
conforming use may be expanded, enlarged,
15-107
15 08 100
extended, reconstructed, intensified, or structurally
altered.
3. Change of nonconforming use. When
authorized by the planning manager, a noocon-
forimng use may be changed to a use of a like or
more restrictive nature
4. Extension of nonconforming use When
authorized by the planning manager, a noncon-
forming use may be extended throughout those
pato of a building which were manifestly designed
or arranged for such use prior to the date when such
use of such building became nonconfomting, if no
structural alterations except those required by law
are made therein.
5. Discontinuance of nonconforming use.
When a nonconforming use of land or a noncon-
forming uwof all or pan of a structure is discomin-
ued or abandoned for a period of six (6) months,
such use shall not be resumed, notwithstanding any
reserved intent not to abandon such use. Normal
seasonal cessation of use, or temporary discontinu-
ance for purposes of maintenance or improve-
ments, shall not be included in deteruunation of the
six (6) month period of discontinuance.
6. Reversion to nonconforming use. if a non-
conforming use is changed to a pemutted use, the
nonconforming use shall not be resumed.
7. Residential exception to nonconforming
use status. Legally established residential uses
located to any residential zoning district shall not
be deemed nonconforming in terms of density pro-
visions and shall be a legal use
8. Exception for certain drive-through bank-
ing facilities. Legally established bank buildings
wish drive-through facibties in thedowntown com-
mercial zoning district that existed prior to August
9, 1992, shall not be nonconforming; however,
these drive-through facilities may not be expanded
beyond that which existed on August 9, 1992,
when the city prohibited bank drive-through facili-
ties in DC zones.
D. Nonconforming buildings and structures.
1. Applicability of restrictions. Regulations
applicable to nonconforming structures are in addi-
tion to regulations applicable to nonconforming
uses, lots, and signs, and in the event of any con-
flict the most restrictive provisions shalt apply
2. Major nonconforming buildings and struc-
tures No major nonconforming structure may be
expanded, enlarged, extended, reconstructed, or
(aerased 11/03)
15.08.100
structurally altered or changed, nor may any major
nonconforming building, structure, or lot be occu-
pied after discontinuance of change in use, unless
the structure, use, and associated grounds and
development are brought into compliance with use
and minimum development standards of the dis-
trict in which such structure is located, except as
follows:
a. Any major nonconforming structure
damaged by fire, flood, explosion, wind, earth-
quake, war, riot, or other natural disaster, may be
restored, reconstructed, and used as before; pro-
vided that the work be vested by permit applica,
tion within one (1) year of such happening: any
restoration or reconstruction not vested by permit
application within twelve (12) months from Ute
date of the fire or other casualty shall be deemed
abandoned and not allowed to be restored.
b. Such repairs and maintenance work as
required to keep the structure in sound condition
may be made to a major nonconforming structure,
provided no such structural alterations shall be
made except such as are required by law or ordi-
nance or authorized by the planning manager.
3. Minor nonconforming buildings andstruc-
lures. No minor nonconforming structure may be
expanded, enlarged, extended, reconstructed or
otherwise structurally altered or changed, nor may
any minor nonconforming building, structure, or
lot be occupied after discontinuance or change in
use, unless the structure and associated grounds
and development are brought into compliance with
the minimum development standards of the district
in which such structure is located, except as fol-
9ows:
" a. Any minor nonconforming structure
damaged by fire, flood, explosion, wind, earth-
quake, war, not, or other natural disaster, may be
restored, reconstructed and used as before; pro-
vided, that the work be vested by permit applica.

happening; any restoration or reconstruction
vested by permit application twelve (12) months
from the date of the fire or otter casualty shall be
deemed abandoned and not allowed to be restored
b. Such repairs and maintenance work as
