A RESOLUTION of the City Council of Kent,
Washington, regarding King County Countywide Planning
Policies adopted by the Metropolitan King County Council.
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.2l0, the Growth Management Act requires the
adoption of Countywide Pl3.nning Policies to provide a countywide framework from which
local comprehensive plans are to be developed. King County, the City of Seattle, and the
incorporated suburban cities and towns in King County established a process for the
development, adoption, and ratification of Countywide Planning Policies by an inter local
agreement. This agreement established the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC),
a group consisting of elected officials from King County, suburban cities, and the City of
Seattle, who were authorized to develop a set of recommended countywide planning policies
for consideration by the King County Council.
B. The GMPC met on September 15, 2004, and December 7, 2004, and voted to
pass amendments to the Countywide Planning Policies to amend the urban growth boundary,
potential annexation areas and urban separator maps, to revise targets for new household and
job growth, and to designate Downtown Burien as an Urban Center. (GMPC Motion 04-1
through 04-5). The King County Council approved and ratified these amendments on behalf
of King County on February 14,2005, pursuant to King County Ordinances 15121-15123.
The Kent Planning & Economic Development Committee reviewed these amendments at its
