DENIAL
SECTION 2. -Rezone. The Kent City Council demes the Rust rezone
application The appl1cat1on does not sat1sfy the cntena established 1n Kent City
Code 15.09.050(C). Counc1l d1scussed a number of the cntena at 1ts meetmg on
October 17th, however, the bas1s for the Council's dec1s1on was disagreement w1th
the heanng exam1ner's conclus1on that the proposed rezone and subsequent
development of the s1te would be compatible w1th development 1n the v1C1n1ty.
While land uses 1n the V1c1n1ty cons1st of varymg dens1t1es of smgle family
res1dent1al development, most of the real property 1n the VICinity IS zoned SR-4 5.
Spec1f1cally, property adJacent to the subject s1te on the north, east, and west are
zoned SR-4. 5. The mcrease 1n dens1ty caused by a rezone from SR-4. 5 to SR-6
would not be compatible w1th development 1n the surrounding area.
The current zonmg des1gnat1on of SR-4.5 IS cons1stent w1th the c1ty's
comprehensive plan goals and pol1c1es. It establishes an adequate land dens1ty to
accommodate the c1ty's adopted twenty (20) year hous1ng target, and provides an
urban res1dent1al dens1ty of at least four un1ts per acre 1n order to adequately
support urban dens1t1es.

sentence, clause or phrase of th1s resolution IS declared unconstitUtional or 1nval1d
