AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, repealing Section 2 of
Ordinance No. 3602 that had adopted Kent's 2002
Surface Water Design Manual, and adopting Kent's
new 2017 Surface Water Design Manual.
RECITALS
A. The city of Kent's existing Surface Water Design Manual
("KSWDM") was last updated approximately 14 years ago, in May of 2002,
through the adoption of Ordinance No. 3602.
B. The public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of Kent
require the proper design, construction, and maintenance of surface water
and stormwater control systems. The KSWDM presents the City's strategy
to reduce public hazards due to floods, erosion, and landslides; enhance
public health, safety, and welfare; better protects the City's environmental
resources, specifically our native salmon; improves regulatory review by
introducing more certainty in the requirements; assists developers by
providing more detailed information about how to analyze and design
acceptable stormwater control systems; provides the City with the latest
technology available for designing and constructing stormwater controls;
and meets state and federal regulatory requirements for local
municipalities under the Endangered Species Act and Clean Water Acts.

Repeal 2002 Ed. & Adopt 2017 Ed.
C. Due to the requirements of federal and state law, and updates
King County made recently to its Surface Water Design Manual, it is
appropriate for Kent to update its KSWDM. During preparation of the
current KSWDM, City staff met with the development community and the
manual was subject to review under the State Environmental Policy Act
("SEPA") The City's SEPA responsible official has determined that the
proposed amendments to the KSWDM are procedural in nature and further
SEPA analysis is not required for the adoption of the KSWDM.
D. A draft version of this ordinance and the KSWDM was
submitted to the Washington State Department of Commerce for expedited
review on November 4, 2016, which was granted on November 29, 2016.
The ordinance and the KSWDM were discussed as informational items
before the Economic and Community Development Committee and the
Public Works Committee on November 14, 2016, and November 21, 2016,
respectively. They were considered by the City's Land Use and Planning
Board after a duly noticed public hearing on November 28, 2016. They
were also considered by the Public Works Committee on December 5,
2016, and January 9, 2017, which recommended Council adoption.
Council has considered this ordinance, the 2017 edition of the KSWDM,
together with all public comment, and has determined that adoption is
appropriate.
