ORDINANCE NO. 3770
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the city
of Kent, Washington, amending Chapter 12 and 15 of
Kent City Code to eliminate reference to SR -2 as a
result of the City's Urban Density Study (#CPA -2004-
5).
RECITALS
A. The City of Kent passed Ordinance No. 3698, an update to the City's
Comprehensive Plan, on July 20, 2004, per the requirements of the Growth
Management Act (GMA). RCW 36.70A.130(4). To address the issue of providing
appropriate urban densities within the City, the City Council passed Resolution No.
1680 on June 15, 2004, requesting that Planning Services analyze this issue in
accord with the update to the Comprehensive Plan. Recognizing the importance of
this issue, the City Council then passed Resolution No. 1694 on December 14, 2004,
declaring an emergency to pursue revision to the Comprehensive Plan in regard to
the urban density study.
B. The urban density study involved considering amendments to parcels
of real property with Comprehensive Plan land use map designations of Single
Family one (1) unit per acre (SF -1) and Single Family three (3) units per acre (SF -
3). The study also involved reviewing parcels of real property with zoning map

Single -Family Residential
Amend KCC Chapters 12 and 15
designations of Single Family one (1) unit per acre (SR -1), Single Family two (2)
units per acre (SR -2), and Single Family three (3) units per acre (SR -3). The parcels
reviewed were located throughout the City, but were categorized for ease of
reference into four study areas: Area A — Green River, Area B — North East Hill,
Area C — South East Hill, and Area D — Lea Hill. These study areas were in turn
divided into sub areas.
C. On May 12, 2005, August 16, 2005, and September 7, 2005, the city
provided the required sixty (60) day notification under RCW 36.70A.106 to the state
of Washington regarding the city's urban density study. Comments from the state
were incorporated into the record.
D. The City's State Environmental Policy Act responsible official issued
a Determination of Nonsignificance (#ENV -2005-38) for the proposed land use and
zoning map amendments as well as corresponding text amendments on August 12,
2005.
E. The urban density study began its public participation campaign with
a series of open houses to apprise citizens of the issues surrounding the study and
obtain input from citizens regarding the issues to be addressed by the study. These
open houses were held at various locations throughout the City on November 4,
2004; November 9, 2004; November 10, 2004; and January 6, 2005.
F. Also as part of the information gathering process for the urban
density study, workshops were held by the City's Land Use and Planning Board on
the following dates to review land use history, environmentally sensitive areas,
infrastructure, building capacity, urban separator maps, and other topics related to
analyzing appropriate urban densities: October 25, 2004; January 10, 2005; January
24, 2005; February 28, 2005; and June 13, 2005. The Land Use and Planning Board
2 Urban Density — SR -2
Single -Family Residential
Amend KCC Chapters 12 and 15
also held public hearings on the following dates to solicit comments from the public
regarding the urban density study in general and specifically the various land use
and zoning map options being considered as well as the corresponding text
amendments: March 28, 2005; April 4, 2005; August 22, 2005; and September 12,
2005. On September 19, 2005, the Land Use and Planning Board made
recommendations on appropriate urban densities to the City Council for all four
study areas.
G. During the urban density study, the City's Planning and Economic
Development Committee was provided information regarding the study during its
meetings on August 15, 2005; September 19, 2005; and October 17, 2005 The
Committee considered the Land Use and Planning Board's recommendation at its
meeting on October 17, 2005, and forwarded its own recommendations to the full
City Council.
H. Prior to a final vote on the urban density issue, the full City Council
held workshops regarding the urban density study on October 18, 2005 and
November 1, 2005. At its regularly scheduled meeting on November 1, 2005, the
City Council voted to adopt amendments to the land use and zoning maps as well as
corresponding text amendments.
I. These amendments reflect the City Council's understanding that the
concept of urban density is driven by GMA's goals related to urban growth,
reducing sprawl, and ensuring the availability of affordable housing. RCW
36.70A.020(1), (2), and (4). At the same time GMA recognizes the importance of
open space, protecting the environment, and providing a variety of residential
densities. RCW 36.70A.020(4), (9) and (10). The Council takes very seriously its
duty to the citizens of Kent to harmonize these goals in planning for the future of the
City of Kent given the particular needs and circumstances of the City of Kent. With
3 Urban Density — SR -2
Single -Family Residential
Amend KCC Chapters 12 and 15
this Ordinance, the City Council has exercised its statutorily granted discretion
while staying within the framework provided by GMA. RCW 36.70A.3201. This
ordinance eliminates the low density zoning designation of SR -2 within the City of
Kent.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS.
ORDINANCE
SECTION 1. — Amendment. Section 12.04.264 of the Kent City Code

are designated as follows:
16 Urban Density — SR -2
Single -Family Residential
Amend KCC Chapters 12 and 15
A40 Agricultural Distnct
The stated goal of the city is to preserve prime agricultural land in the Green
River Valley as a nonrenewable resource. The agnculture zone shall actively
encourage the concentration of agricultural uses in areas where incompatibility with
urban uses will be minimal to aid in the implementation of those goals. Further, such
classification of prime agricultural land thus recognizes and encourages farming
activity as a viable sector of the local economy.
SR -1 Residential Agricultural District
The purpose of the SR -1 zone is to provide for areas allowing low density
single-family residential development. SR -1 zoning shall be applied to those areas
identified in the comprehensive plan for low density development, because of
environmental constraints or the lack of urban services.
AG Agricultural General District
The purpose of the AG zone is to provide appropriate locations for

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 (1) year period, and the district reverts to its
original zoning designation. It is the intent of the special use combining regulations
to provide the city with adequate procedures for controlling and reviewing such uses
and to discourage application for speculative rezoning.
