development regulations by December 1, 2004, to ensure that the Comprehensive
plan and the development regulations are in compliance with the requirements of the
GMA. This amendment of the City's zoning map legend is adopted in accord with
that GMA requirement.
B. Section 15.03.010 of the Kent City Code (KCC) establishes the
various districts for the City, including the Low Density Multifamily Residential

workshop on the issue of amending the zoning map legend to reflect that MRG is
Low Density Multifamily. A public hearing followed on September 27, 2004. The
