RECITALS
A. Local planning legislation arises from many sources, including,
but not limited to, Federal, State or regional mandates; changes to local
community vision; complaints; need for clarity; updated technologies,
business operations or strategies that make existing codes outdated; and
conflicts with updated regulations in other City departments.
B. The city has determined that amendments to Chapter 12.05,
Kent City Code (KCC), are necessary to reflect updates the Mobile Home
Park code for consistency with current code enforcement regulations,
definitions noted elsewhere in the KCC, and existing permit process.
C. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Responsible
Official has determined that the proposed amendments are procedural in
nature and thus categorically exempt from further SEPA review.
