city of Kent, Washington, amending Title 15 of the
Kent City Code (KCC), also referred to as the
Zoning Code, to adopt a new chapter 15.15 KCC,
pertaining to design standards for high capacity
transit (HCT) facilities, and a new section
15.08.450 KCC, along with related amendments to
KCC Sections 15.04.060, 15.04.065 and
12.04.825, to support the HCT design standards.
RECITALS
A. The Midway Subarea Plan (Midway Plan), adopted by the City
Council on December 13, 2011, conveys a range of actions that prepares
the area for future high capacity light rail transit and is intended to inform
decisions of public and private entities.
B. The Midway Plan was the result of a collaborative visioning
effort called Envision Midway, involving the city of Kent, the city of Des
Moines, the community and multiple stakeholders. The Midway Plan
supports continued coordination with adjacent jurisdictions, and regional
and state transportation agencies, to ensure facilities and services are
provided as planned.

Ordinance Amending Title 15, KCC
C. The overall goal of the Midway Plan is to: Create a dense,
pedestrian -friendly, sustainable community that provides jobs, housing,
services and public open space around nodes of high capacity mass transit
while maintaining auto -oriented uses between the transit oriented nodes."
D. The Midway Plan envisions swell -designed built environment,
including pedestrian -friendly streetscapes, multimodal connections, a
variety of housing types and jobs that support transit use, effective parks
and open space, and a regional storm water management system.
E. Growth capacity in the Midway area is up to 11,821
households and 9,481 jobs accommodated within a phased approach.
F. Sound Transit is conducting environmental analysis for a light
rail station in the Midway area. Nine different station locations are being
analyzed. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement for this light rail
extension is expected to be released on April 10, 2015, with the station
operational in 2023.
G. The City continues to participate in discussions with
interjurisdictional staff, significant stakeholders such as Highline
Community College, Sound Transit's Interagency Working Group and
elected official meetings to help guide the efforts of Sound Transit as they
analyze alignment and station locations through the cities of SeaTac, Des
Moines, Kent and Federal Way,
H. The city of Kent also engaged the services of the Urban Land
Institute to recommend which of the nine station locations being analyzed
would best support transit -oriented development in Kent. Light rail
alignment, parking facilities, station locations and design are key
components of successful place -making in high capacity transit areas.

Ordinance Amending Title i5, KCC
I. Sound Transit is making an investment estimated at $1.3 to
$1.8 billion dollars in extending light rail from the Angle Lake Station (S.
200th Street) to a future station in the vicinity of the Federal Way Transit
Center. It is critical that the city of Kent and Sound Transit collaborate in
determining the best alignment and station locations for implementing the
Midway Plan,
J. The City Council adopted Midway Design Guidelines on
December 13, 2011. The proposed amendments to the Kent City Code
further refine the design standards and permit processes for high capacity
transit facilities, such as light rail, which is scheduled to be operational in
