HomeMy WebLinkAbout3977AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending Sections
15.04.090 and 15.04.100 of the Kent City Code,
entitled "Service land uses" and "Service land use
development conditions" to allow automobile
repair, washing services and auto body work uses
in the General Industrial (M3) Zoning District
under limited conditions.
RECITALS
A. The City of Kent's General Industrial (M3) Zoning District is
located entirely within the area of the City with a land use designation of
Manufacturing/Industrial Center (MIC), and is largely comprised of
warehousing, small-scale manufacturing, and uses associated with outdoor
storage and distribution of automobiles. The Puget Sound Regional Council
and King County have goals, policies and criteria regarding MICs that call
for protection of industrial areas for future industrial use. Consistent with
this guidance, the City of Kent has comprehensive plan policies to
discourage and limit non-industrial uses in the MIC that do not serve
industrial uses.
1 Automotive Repair
In the M3 Zoning District
Amend KCC 15.04.090 and .100
B. Under the Kent City Code (KCC), auto repair, washing
services and body work uses are allowed in the M3 Zoning District only
where parcels are split-zoned as M3 and Gateway Commercial (GWC), and
only if the use includes repair of heavy equipment or trucks. A number of
apparently non-conforming uses associated with automobile-related
services, however, currently exist within the M3 Zoning District. To
resolve the apparent conflict between the policy and what practically
operates in some areas of the M3 Zoning District, the City researched
industrial space requirements, freight mobility considerations, and regional
policy implications associated with allowing or expanding non-industrial
uses within the MIC. The City found that within the M3 Zoning District,
there are existing parcels and buildings that are not suitable for exclusive
industrial use. This ordinance will amend the Kent City Code to allow
automobile repair, washing services, and auto body work in the M3 Zoning
District on parcels with these site and operational limitations.
C. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) official
issued a Determination of Nonsignificance on September 17, 2010.
D. On August 26, 2010, notice was sent to the Washington State
Department of Commerce requesting expedited review. On September 14,
2010, the City was granted expedited review and was informed that it had
met the Growth Management Act notice requirements under RCW
36. 70A.106.
E. The Land Use and Planning Board considered this matter at its
July 12, 2010 and August 23, 2010 workshops, and held a public hearing
