HomeMy WebLinkAbout4199AN ®RDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending Chapter 15.04
of the Kent City Code, to expand the uses
permitted in the M1 Industrial Park zoning district
to include those uses currently permitted only in
the M1 -C zoning district.
RECITALS
A. Section 15.03.010 of the Kent City Code ("KCC") establishes
that the purpose of the Industrial Park (M1) zoning district is to provide an
environment for a broad range of industrial, office, and business park
activities, while also allowing certain limited commercial land uses that
provide necessary personal and business services for the general industrial
area through application of the "C" suffix (M1 -C).
B. The M1 -C zoning designation applies to several limited areas
in the industrial valley, concentrated near major street intersections and
highways.
C. In the context of technological changes and global
competition, proximity to supportive services and amenities is increasingly
important to industrial enterprises and for their need to attract and retain
highly -skilled employees.

Re: A91 Industrial Park Zoning Code
D. Policy LU -12.3 of the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan is to
provide for a mix of land uses that are compatible with manufacturing,
industrial, and warehouse uses, such as office, retail, and service in the
area designated Industrial. The Economic Development Element of the
Comprehensive Plan establishes expanding allowable zoned uses as a key
strategy for raising the amenity level and supporting employers in the Kent
Industrial Valley.
E. On October 20, 2015, the City Council approved a staff -
recommended docket item that proposed to expand commercial
opportunities at strategic locations in the industrial area.
F. On March 14, 2016, Planning staff presented a draft code
amendment to expand commercial uses in the M1 zoning district to the
Land Use and Planning Board ("
LUPB") at a workshop meeting.
G. On March 2, 2016, the City requested expedited review under
RCW 36.70A.106 from the Washington State Department of Commerce
regarding the City's proposed code amendment expanding the permitted
land uses in the M1 zoning district. The Washington State Department of
Commerce granted the request for expedited review on March 17, 2016.
No comments were received from State agencies.
H. The City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Responsible
Official conducted an environmental analysis of the impacts of the
proposed amendments and issued a Determination of Nonsignificance on
March 22, 2016.
I. At its regularly -scheduled public meeting on March 28, 2016,
the LUPB held a public hearing regarding the proposed code amendments
related to expanding commercial uses in the M1 zoning district. After
2 Amend KCC 25.04
Re: M1 Industrial Park Zoning Code
considering the matter, the LUPB voted to recommended adoption of the
proposed amendments to the City Council. As a matter of clarification, it
should be noted that two ordinances amending different portions of the
same land use table in KCC 15.04.090 were considered at the same
meeting, albeit after separate public hearings.
J. On April 11, 2016, the Economic and Community
Development Committee considered the recommendations of the LUPB at
its regularly scheduled meeting, and recommended to the full City Council
adoption of the proposed code amendments.
K. At its regularly -scheduled meeting on April 19, 2016, the City
Council voted to adopt the amendments to portions of Chapter 15.04 of
the Kent City Code, pertaining to M1 Industrial Park zoning districts.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
ORDINANCE
SECTION 1. -Amendment. Section 15.04.070 of the Kent City
Code, entitled "Wholesale and retail land uses," is hereby amended as
follows:
Sec. 15.04.070 Wholesale and retail land uses.
