HomeMy WebLinkAbout4320 ORDINANCE NO. q3ZO AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of Kent, Washington, declaring an emergency and adopting an interim zoning ordinance amending title 15 of the Kent City Code by limiting trucking-intensive uses on a temporary basis, pending completion of an industrial land subarea plan, setting a date for a public hearing, and providing that the ordinance will take effect immediately upon passage. RECITALS A. Uncoordinated and unplanned growth poses a threat to the environment, sustainable economic development, and the health, safety, and quality of life of city residents. In line with statewide planning goals, it is the City's intention to encourage economic development that is consistent with adopted comprehensive plans, to promote economic opportunity, and to promote the retention and expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses, all within the capacities of public facilities. B. Kent's Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2015, includes a policy directive to "Complete a comprehensive subarea plan for the Manufacturing/Industrial Center that will establish a Kent-specific vision and strategy for accommodating growth consistent with the regional growth strategy." In the Puget Sound Regional Council's Plan Review Report and Certification Recommendation for the City's Comprehensive Plan, the city was encouraged to implement this policy "in the near term," 1 Amend KCC Chapter 15.04 - Re: Trucking-Intensive Uses as Vision 2040 calls for jurisdictions with regional centers to develop subarea plans (DP-Action-17). C. Understanding the regional interest and local importance of this work, staff proposed to include a 'Manufacturing/Industrial Center Subarea Plan" in the 2015 Docket Report to the City Council. In 2018, the City Council adopted the 2019-2020 budget which included $75,000 annually for this work plan item. To date, staff have taken the following steps on the project: completed a detailed draft scope of work; formed an interjurisdictional staff working group; formed an advisory panel of local experts; interviewed and selected consultants; established an outreach/engagement strategy; planned advisory panel meeting content; established a project schedule including major milestones; tentatively outlined the final document; and collected a significant amount of data and research to support and inform the work. The project is expected to identify changes to the zoning code and development standards, new design guidelines, zoning map amendments, key partnerships and organizations, capital project recommendations, and recommendations on many existing policies at the local and regional level, including PSRC manufacturing/industrial center designation. D. Inherently, the development of the industrial valley subarea plan will include a significant focus on trucking-intensive land uses and public infrastructure requirements. Trucking-intensive land uses such as bulk or heavy distribution, warehousing, wholesale, and freight movement have significant financial and transportation impacts to the cities in which they are located. Trucking-intensive uses in particular cause considerable damage to publicly owned infrastructure due to the weight and volume of freight vehicles, and such damage results in significant street maintenance costs borne by the city and its taxpayers. 2 Amend KCC Chapter 15.04 - Re: Trucking-Intensive Uses E. The City of Kent has seen an acceleration in development of truck-intensive land uses including retrofitting existing warehouses to increase the capacity and volume of truck utilization. The City is also aware of increased real estate speculation on bulk warehouse properties in the Kent Valley. These properties generally include facilities in excess of 100,000 square feet in size, with a ratio of dock high doors at less than one per 5,000 square feet of building area. Additionally, building footprint sizes are increasing, which, similar to big-box retail, may point to an overspecialized building type. This overspecialization may work for a particular use that is very marketable in the short term, but may limit adaptability to other uses in the future as the economy changes. F. These changes in the real estate market and proliferation of industrial product development are creating significant or adverse impacts on city roads and infrastructure, transit and pedestrian connections, and the overall city vision for an economically healthy and fiscally sustainable mix of uses. Without specifically crafted regulations for such large, trucking-intensive developments, there is substantial risk that the Kent industrial valley could suffer long-term and adverse economic consequences. G. Proper planning for growth also requires addressing the capacity of current and future public facility needs. City revenue associated with trucking-intensive uses has declined precipitously in recent decades i due to a change in state sales tax structure (known as Streamlined Sales t Tax, or "SST"). Whereas wholesale and related e-commerce uses 1 previously generated significant sales tax revenue for the city that helped offset the costs to city infrastructure, the SST change to a destination- I based local sales tax system in 2008 substantially diminished this source I of tax revenue. The city now bears all the road maintenance costs associated with heavy freight use, with severely depleted resources and I few options for generating more income. This fiscal position strains the , 3 Amend KCC Chapter 15.04 - Re; Trucking-Intensive Uses city's ability to maintain roadway infrastructure and the required level of service for city programs and responsibilities generally. H. The Kent Industrial Valley, and the Industrial Park (M1, M1-C) district in particular, contains significant city investment in the form of levees, roads and utility infrastructure to prevent flooding and facilitate development. This land, whether undeveloped, redevelopable, or built with high quality development, is an asset to the city as a whole in its potential for economic return, quality jobs, or other contributions to the public realm. These assets and investments are now threatened by the combination of strong market demand for building types which support uses that do not contribute to city revenue in a manner commensurate with the need for infrastructure maintenance that they create, and outdated land use regulations that allow such building types to develop without regard for their substantial impacts. I. The city very recently embarked on its subarea planning effort known as "Rally the Valley" (RTV). The intention for RTV is to to better understand the costs, analyze potential policy or program changes, and recommend a new, more nuanced direction for Kent's policies toward industrial land, taking into account the classifications within warehouse and industrial real estate products, and their ability to meet different user demands. J. Engagement with existing businesses in the valley has pointed to the need for more pedestrian-scale infrastructure and a more safe and inviting public realm for workers. Large footprint uses affect the city's ability to provide for pedestrian-scale infrastructure by creating impermeable sites with long distances that are not navigable on foot. While the exact nature of the needed pedestrian connections is not yet determined, and is being explored through RTV, there is a threat to the 4 Amend KCC Chapter 15.04 - Re: Trucking-Intensive Uses ability of the city to move in the direction of better pedestrian connections if more large footprint uses develop before RTV is completed. K. The RTV work plan item is underway and will conclude in 2020. It is anticipated that zoning and development regulation changes will be adopted as a result of this effort, as well as capital project recommendations. While trucking-intensive and land consumptive uses are unlikely to be entirely prohibited as a result of RTV recommendations, strategic regulations with tighter distinctions are warranted. With these regulations under development now, there is a risk that certain options or opportunities may be precluded in the interim by the development or redevelopment of parcels within the RTV study area. This would substantially impede the city's ability benefit from the informed and coordinated growth strategies identified through the RTV effort. L. The City desires to see the Kent industrial valley's economic potential realized to the maximum extent possible. To that end, ensuring that buildings that support trucking-intensive land uses are developed in accordance with a fully informed subarea plan is critical to ensuring the long-term economic sustainability of the industrial valley and to identify and catalyze appropriate development. M. If interim zoning regulations for the development of trucking- intensive facilities of this nature are not imposed, such development could severely impact effective long range planning anticipated as part of the Rally the Valley program and resulting subarea plan, and may also result in significantly decreased realization of the vision therein. N. It is in the best interests of the health, safety, and welfare of the current and future residents of Kent to enact interim zoning regulations 5 Amend KCC Chapter 15.04 - Re: Trucking-Intensive Uses relating to the siting and development of trucking-intensive uses within the industrial valley. O. Allowing the planning or design of trucking-intensive land uses to continue before the City Council can fully adopt new regulations or revise existing regulations specific to those land uses could result in irreversible damage to the City that would be contrary to the comprehensive planning efforts currently underway. P. Through its Rally the Valley program, the city is exercising special care and attention in evaluating, considering, and developing appropriate regulation that satisfactorily addresses the significant fiscal impacts of trucking-intensive land uses and meets the city's goal of encouraging economic development and being mindful of the capacities of public infrastructure. Q. The city has a strong interest in fostering a vibrant and productive economic environment and a growth management goal to promote economic opportunity within the city through land use planning. Without immediate interim zoning, the City's acceptance, processing, and approval of development applications related to trucking-intensive land uses would create a substantial risk of rendering moot the extensive planning beginning now and negatively impacting the future viability of the Kent industrial valley. R. Based on the above, the City Council concludes that immediate interim zoning addressing trucking-intensive land uses in the M1 and M1-C zoning districts is required. To protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community it is necessary to establish such zoning in order to prevent the acceptance, processing, and approval of development 6 Amend KCC Chapter 15.04 - Re: Trucking-Intensive Uses applications related to trucking-intensive land uses prior to the establishment of proper and reasonable regulations. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: ORDINANCE SECTION 1. - Preliminary Findings. The recitals set forth above are hereby adopted as the city council's preliminary findings of fact in support of the interim zoning controls imposed by this ordinance.
