ORDINANCE NO. 3710
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
#city of Kent, Washington, amending Chapter 12 of
Kent City Code regarding the processing of
applications for rezone (#ZCA-2005-5).
RECITALS
A. In 1998 when the city adopted Chapter 12.01 of the Kent City Code, it
was the city's intent to "allow" applicants to combine public hearings for all land use
applications for a project; the intent was not to "require" a combined public hearing.
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
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 allowing separate processes for non -project rezones and project
permit applications. At the conclusion of the public hearing the Land Use &
