ORDINANCE NO. ,9 751
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the city
of Kent, Washington, amending Chapter 15 of Kent
City Code to allow multifamily dwelling units in the
MR -T Multifamily Residential Townhouse Districts
located in Downtown Districts, (#ZCA-2005-4).
RECITALS
A. The Multifamily Residential Townhouse (MR -T) zoning district
provides suitable locations for low to medium density multifamily residential
development where home ownership is encouraged. Existing regulations allow only
townhouses within the MR -T district; and townhouses may not have other dwelling
units above or below them. With the recent update of the Downtown Strategic Action
f Plan, the MR -T zoning designation was applied to property within the Kent
Downtown North Core District. The Downtown Strategic Action Plan also
recommends development of at least 200 units of market rate housing in Downtown
by 2008. This type of high density residential development cannot occur without
allowing stacked units.
B. On July 20, 2005, the city sent the required notification under RCW
36.70A.106 to the state of Washington of the proposed amendment to the zoning
1 Multifamily Dwelling Units
in MR -T Zoning -
Amend KCC 15
code. The State granted expedited review and on August 4, 2005 notified the City it
had met state notification requirements.
C. The SEPA Responsible Official determined the proposed amendments
are procedural in nature and categorically exempt from environmental review.
D. On August 8, 2005, the Land Use & Planning Board held a public
hearing on the issue of allowing stacked condominium -type units in areas zoned MR -
T within the Kent Downtown Districts. On August 15, 2005, the Planning &
Economic Development Committee approved the proposed amendment and
forwarded a recommendation to the full City Council. The City Council, on
September 6, 2005, voted to amend Chapter 15 of the Kent City Code to allow
stacked condominium -type units in areas zoned MR -T located in the Kent
Downtown Districts.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
ORDINANCE
SECTION 1. — Amendment. Section 15.04.020 of the Kent City Code
entitled, "Residential land uses" is amended as follows:
