to date, the GMA allows amendments to the capital facilities element of
comprehensive plans concurrently with the adoption or amendment of a
city budget.
C. The City of Kent has established procedures for amending the

amendments to the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan

Washington the required sixty (60) day notification under RCW
36.70A.106 of the City's proposed amendment to the Capital Facilities
Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The sixty (60) day notice period has
passed.
F. On October 6, 2014, the City's SEPA responsible official
issued a SEPA Addendum to existing environmental documents consisting
of the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Review and Midway Subarea
Planned Action Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Draft and Final
(ENV -2010-3) and the Downtown Subarea Action Plan Supplemental EIS
Draft and Final (ENV -2012-30). The SEPA Addendum explained that the
proposed amendment would not create unavoidable impacts beyond those
previously identified in the EIS.
G. After providing appropriate public notice, the City Council of
the City of Kent conducted a public hearing on October 21, 2014, to
consider the six-year plan for capital improvements and the requested

SCOPE .,
The City of Kent has completed environmental analysis, pursuant to the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), 'for an amendment of the Capital Facilities
Element of the Comprehensive Plan to iriciude the City's 2015-2020 Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). This amendment to the Capital Facilities Element is
occurring concurrently with the adoption of the City's 2015-16 operating
budget as provided by RCW 36.70A.130.
The GMA requires cities and counties to approve and maintain a six (6) year
capital facilities plan which Includes requirements for specific types of capital
facilities, measurable levels -of -service (LOS) standards, financial feasibility,
and assurance that adequate facilities are provided as population and
employment growth occurs. Kent's biennial budget document and six-year
CIP fulfill the GMA requirement for facilities planning. In addition, these
documents serve as a foundation for the city's fiscal management and
eligibility for grants and loans: The CIP and biennial budget, along with the
Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan provide coordination
among the city's many plans for capital improvements. The biennial budget
and six-year CIP contain broad goals and specific financial policies that guide
and implement the provisions for adequate public services and facilities.
The six-year CIP Is a funding mechanism to, implement projects and
programs identified in the City's Comprehensive . Plan. Specifically, the
Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan contains goals and
policies related to the provision and maintenance . of public services and
capital facilities which are necessary;to support the projected growth over
the next twenty, (20) years. The goals and policies of the Capital Facilities
Element are consistent with the Land Use, Transportation and Parks and
Open Space Elements. 1 ,

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW —BACKGROUND
The City of Kent has followed the process of phased environmental review as
it undertakes actions to jrnplement the Comprehensive Plan. The State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and riles established for the act, WAC 197-
11, outline procedures for the use of existing environmental documents and
preparing addenda to environmental decisions.
Nonproject Documents - An EIS, prepared for a comprehensive plan,
development regulation, or other broad based policy documents are
considered "non -project," or programmatic in nature (see WAC 197-11-704).
These are distinguished from EISs.or environmental documents prepared for
specific project actions, such as a building permit or a road construction
project. The purpose of a non -project EIS is to analyze proposed alternatives
and to provide environmental consideration and mitigation prior to adoption
of an alternative. It is also a document that discloses the process used in
evaluating alternatives to decision -makers and citizens.
Phased Review -SEPA rules:allow environmental review to be phased so that
review coincides with, meaningful, points in the planning and decision making
process, (WAC 197-11-060.(5)). Broader environmental documents may be
followed by narrower documents that incorporate general discussion by
reference and concentrate. ;solely on Issues specific to that proposal. SEPA
rules also clearly state that agencies shall use a variety of mechanisms,
including addenda, adoption, and incorporation by reference, to avoid
duplication and excess paperwork. .Future projects identified and associated
with the implementation of the Capital Japmprovement Program may require
individual and separate environmental review, pursuant to SEPA. Such
review will occur when a specific project is identified.
Prior Environmental .Documents The City of Kent issued a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the City of Kent Comprehensive
Plan Review and Midway . Subarea Planned Action on October 22, 2010
(#ENV -2010-3). The DEIS analyzed alternative growth strategies at a
programmatic level for the KentqiPlanning Area, as well as adoption of the
Midway Subarea Pian and a planned action ordinance to cover a portion of
the Midway Subarea, . and recommended mitigation measures, which were
used in preparing subarea plan policies. A Final Environmental Impact
Statement (FEIS) was issued on September 1, 2011, and the Midway
Subarea Plan, Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Map amendments, and
development regulations were adopted by the City Council on December 13,
2011.
The City of Kent issued.;. a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (DSEIS) for ,tha Gity of :Kent Downtown Subarea Action Plan
Planned Action on June :21, 2013 (##ENV -2012-30). • The DSEIS analyzed
alternative growth strategies for the. Downtown Subarea, adoption of the

Comprehensive Pian EIS - Addendum
Capital Improvement Program 2015-2020
Downtown Subarea Action Plan, amendments of Comprehensive Plan Land
Use and Zoning Districts maps, development regulations, Planned Action and
Infill Exemption Ordinances, as. wle)I as alternative growth strategies at a
programmatic level for the Kent41Planning Area and Midway Subarea, The
)SEIS also recommended mitigation measures, which were used in preparing
subarea plan policies. A Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement
(FSEIS) was issued on October 4, 2013, and the Downtown Subarea Action
Plan, amendments to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Zoning Districts
maps, and amendments to development regulations within the General
Commercial -Mixed Use zoning district were adopted by the City Council on
November 19, 2013. The City Council adopted the Downtown Subarea
Planned Action and Infill Exemption Ordinances on December 10, 2013.
r_
Scope of Addendum - As outlined i,n`'the SEPA rules, the purpose of an
addendum is to provide environmental analysis with respect to the described
actions. This analysis builds upon the"City of Kent Comprehensive Plan
Review and Midway Subarea' Planned Action EIS and the City of Kent
Downtown Subarea Action Plan Planned Action SEIS but does not
substantially change the identified impacts and analyses, therefore it is
prudent to utilize 4 the addendum process as outlined in WAC -197-11-
600(4)(c).
ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS ...,,.;. ;
All environmental elements were' adequately addressed within the
parameters of the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Review and Midway
Subarea Planned Action EIS, draft and final, and the Downtown Subarea
Action Pian Planned Action SEIS, draft and final. Further, subsequent
"project" actions would . require. the .submittal of separate environmental
checklists, pursuant to SEPA, which will be analyzed for consistency with the
original mitigating conditions and may require new mitigation based upon
site-specific conditions.
The adoption of the six -t'e'ar CIP implements goals and policies identified in
the City's Capital Facilities. Element of tli�e. Comprehensive Plan. Specifically,
the CIP implements the following.
Goa/ CF -x - As the City of Kent continues to grow and develop, ensure that
an adequate supply and' range of public services and capital facilities are
available to provide satisfactory standards of public health, safety, and
quality of life.
Po/Icy CFZ.Z -Ensure that public services and capital facilities needs are
addressed .in updates to the,• Capital Facilities Plans and Capital
Improvement Programs, and development regulations as appropriate.
Goal CF4
-Ensure that appropriate funding sources are available to acquire
or bond for the provision of needed public services and facilities.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
F•: Page 4 of 5
Comprehensive Plan EIS - Addendum
Capital Improvement Program 2015-2020.:
SUMMARY
Kent City Code section 11.03.510 identifies plans and policies from which the
City may draw substantive mitigation. under the State Environmental Policy
Act. This nonproject action. has been ,evaluated in light of those substantive
plans and policies as well as within the overall analysis completed for the
City's Comprehensive Plan Review and Midway Subarea Planned Action EIS
and Downtown Subarea Action Plan Planned Action SEIS.
DECISION
The City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Review and Midway Subarea Planned
Action EIS, draft and finals and the City of Kent Downtown Subarea Action
Plan Planned Action SETS, draft and final, provided analyses with regard to
the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan elements, goals and policies.
This includes the implementation of the Capital Facilities Element and Capital
Improvement Programs, The City has reviewed the 2015-2020 CIP and has
found it to be consistent with the range, types and magnitude of impacts and
corresponding mitigation putlined. in the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan
Review and Midway Subarea Planned Action EIS and the City of Kent
Downtown Subarea Action Plan Planned Action SETS. The adoption of the
six-year CIP does not substantially change any identified related impacts in
the EIS or SEIS.
This analysis and subsequent addendum did not identify any new significant
impacts associated with the adoption of the 2015-2020 CIP. Therefore, this
addendum, combined with the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Review and
Midway Subarea Planned Action EIS sand the City .of Kent Downtown Subarea
Action Plan Planned Action SEIS adequately evaluate potential adverse
environmental impacts and provide ,ar.ppropriate mitigation for this nonproject
action. Based upon this analysis,a separate threshold determination is not
required. This document and corresponding environmental record may be
utilized in the future in conjunction with environmental review for future
projects identified in the CIP in accordance with the guidelines provided by
WAC 197-11,
