Current and potential changes in zoning: The current zoning on this site includes both DC-2, Downtown Commercial, and M2, Limited Industrial. Both of these zones include "municipal uses and buildings" such as the Justice Center as principally permitted uses. Although the zoning in the downtown area is currently under review by the Planning Commission, proposed changes would not preclude the Justice Center use, but would in fact enhance the multi-use nature of Kent's downtown area. 2. Local jurisdiction's vision for use of these properties: The City of Kent's Downtown Comprehensive Plan targets the Meeker and Naden site for both Business Park and Mixed Use development. The Business Park designation, covering the southern portion of the property, promotes limited industrial, office and commercial uses. The Mixed Use designation, covering the northern portion of the site, is designed to foster retail, office, and multifamily residential uses. B. Land Use Plan for Surrounding Properties 1. Zoning The current zoning on surrounding properties includes both M2, Limited Industrial and DC, Downtown Commercial. The purpose of the M2 district is to provide areas suitable for a broad range of industrial activities whose characteristics are of a light industrial nature. Permitted uses include such things as manufacturing or articles, products and merchandise, printing, warehousing and distri~ution facilities, and administrative and executive offices which are part of a predominant industrial operation, along with associated retail and service uses.

JKD~i17 ..... , - -~GIONAL JUSTICE CENTER SITE PROPOSAL 'l!'HE FOLLOWING C. RELATES TO ALL THREE PROPOSED SITES c. Propose Areas of Potential Cooperation and/or Operation Efficiencies: The City of Kent and the surrounding area are in a period of transition. With an eye to the future, Kent is in the final stages of completing a major rezoning project. This plan will move the downtown area toward a greater density of land use and a more urban look. Our intention is to promote development as an urban activity center which is consistent with the placement of a building such as the proposed King County Regional Justice Center. We also believe that this type of land use is con~istent with the land use intent of the King County council under the "Not Net Loss Resolution." The sites which we have identified in this document are consistent with our plan for future development. In preparation for future change, Kent is about to undertake an extensive study of our infrastructure needs which should help us plan for urban growth well into the ~ next century. Our Request for Proposals on this project should be released in the next several weeks. Parking, fireflow, water/sewer, and drainage are areas of potential cooperation and operational efficiency which would serve both the Regional Justice Center and future development which will follow • This is a challenging process and we recognize that there will be some changes in the character of the downtown neighborhood. 'l'here may be some discomfort as some residences and schools relocate. It is important that our City Center continue to attract community and cultural activities. As Kent is already a regional transportation hub for south King .county, a major point for potential cooperation 1s the sponsorship of a cultural and preforming arts center. The City of Kent has used long-term planning as an investment in our future. The cooperative placement of the Regional Justice Center presents an opportunity for meeting the needs of the. King County Criminal Justice System and the future goals for development of the city of Kent.
