Transit Operations and Maintenance Facilities Interim Zoning Ordinance – Public Hearing Mayor Ralph opened the Public Hearing. Long-Range Planning Manager, Hayley Bonsteel provided a brief overview of the interim zoning ordinance, including: • Knowing light rail was coming, the City invested significant resources in a robust visioning exercise, the Midway Subarea Plan. The Plan welcomed light rail, planned for its success, and provided a framework for future decision-making, based on extensive community engagement. • The Midway goal was to “create a dense, pedestrian-friendly, sustainable community that provides jobs, housing, services and public open space around nodes of high-capacity transit while maintaining auto-oriented uses between transit-oriented nodes.” The City envisioned a well- designed built environment, including pedestrian-friendly streetscapes, multimodal connections and a variety of housing types and jobs that support transit use. • There was a distinction between North of 245th and South of 245th - transit-oriented community to the north (high intensity transit supportive mixed use with a residential focus and strong pedestrian orientation with no single use, big box industrial or auto dependent uses) and highway commercial corridor to the south (wide range of community, citywide or regional commercial and light industrial uses that are primarily vehicle dependent). • New zones purpose - MCR and MTCs - dense and varied retail, office and residential, with a pedestrian orientation. • Existing use category of “transit facilities” was obviously permitted in the new zones, as they were all about attracting light rail. Did not differentiate between different types of transit or transit-supportive Kent City Council City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 5, 2019 Kent, Washington Page 5 of 14 facilities. An operations and maintenance facility, which has very different characteristics from light rail stations (30 acres, active at night, not oriented towards passengers, not beneficial for pedestrians, doesn’t attract interest or activity, is more similar to outdoor storage of trucks, heavy equipment, contractor storage yards than it is to a light rail station). • Those kinds of outdoor storage of trucks and related uses are not permitted in MCR/MTCs, as one might expect. But they are permitted in CM2. CM2’s purpose is to provide are for a combination of retail, small scale light industrial, heavy commercial, wholesale, advanced manufacturing-the appropriate choice for an operations and maintenance facility. • The ordinance passed by Council on January 15, 2019 defines both types of transit facilities to differentiate them, and zones operations and maintenance facilities to be allowed in CM2 and not in other zones. • Tonight’s public hearing is intended to gather comments on the action Council took last meeting, January 15, 2019, and will be helpful as we move forward in the process with Sound Transit. • Staff will be working on a permanent zoning code change along the lines of the interim zoning ordinance and that will have another public hearing. Public Comments: Jasmine Donovan, a resident of Seattle, Executive Vice President and CFO at Dick’s Drive-in Restaurants. Donovan is the granddaughter of Dick Spady. Donovan thanked the Kent City Council for actions taken to protect the community’s long planned vision for the transformation of the West Hill of Kent. The timely and necessary emergency zoning ordinance simultaneously protects those who have already invested in the West Hill in anticipation of its future transit-oriented development and opens the door for Sound Transit to build its Operations and Maintenance Facility on a much more suitable piece of property. The City of Kent has worked diligently to prepare the West Hill for new light rail station. The Midway Subarea Plan, adopted in 2011, outlines the community’s desire for Transit Oriented Development clearly. When we were scouting potential sites to build the first Dick’s Drive-In south of Seattle, this clear plan and potential for redevelopment as well as proximity to the new light rail station were big positives for us. Because of this clearly-outlined plan, we knew this area was only going to become more vibrant, populated and more easily accessible by all forms of transportation. We made investments in the property we wouldn’t have made elsewhere to make it more accessible to pedestrians. We made investments in our surplus property as we were certain the right buyer could be found to bring even more jobs and services to the Midway Shopping Center. We couldn’t have been more shocked when we learned in November that Sound Transit intended to ignore the clear, undisputed desire of the community for uses such as “retail, office, education, research, medical and residential,” as outlined in the Midway Subarea Plan. Instead, Sound Transit Kent City Council City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 5, 2019 Kent, Washington Page 6 of 14 wants to place a 30-acre operation and maintenance facility on the 10-year- old shopping center we had just joined. Although the need for such a facility somewhere in the South Sound is clear, even considering placing this industrial facility in the middle of Transit Oriented Development is baffling. Particularly when land owned by Seattle Public Utilities, available to Sound Transit effectively for free, is available not far to the south. The City of Kent must help Sound Transit properly weigh ALL the costs of destroying this thriving and improving community around the new light rail station at Highline College. Allowing a massive night shift industrial facility to be built on the Midway Shopping center ruins the vision of a west Kent community that is a great place to live, work and play, with affordable housing, and jobs. We applaud the rapid and decisive action by the City Council to make it clear to Sound Transit that the operations and maintenance facility-South is more than welcome in the City of Kent when it is built in the right location: The Midway Landfill. Mel Roberts, a Kent resident spoke in support of the ordinance and submitted his written comments for the record. Tim Brown, a Kent resident spoke in support of the ordinance. Brown thanked the Mayor and Council for clarifying the intentions of the area and making it clear that there are better properties more suitable to an operations and maintenance facility. Matthew Renner, a Des Moines resident expressed appreciation of the Council and spoke in support of the ordinance. Renner thanked the Mayor and Council for standing up to Sound Transit and indicated that the proposed site is not the right place for the operations and maintenance facility. The region has indicated they don't want the facility in the proposed location. Renner supports the Council and Mayor and asked everyone to inform the Sound Transit Board that we don't want the facility in this location. Tim Clark spoke in support of ordinance and provided comments regarding the original planning of the Midway Subarea Plan that was intended for transit-oriented development. Clark is a former Kent City Council member of 16 years. Clark was an advocate of Growth Management Plan allowing the City to plan for the future. Michael Scuderi spoke in support of the zoning ordinance. Scuderi presented his written comments for the record. Ryan Crompten, a Des Moines resident lives close to the transit facility and spoke in support of zoning ordinance. Ranita Hillis spoke in support of the zoning ordinance and in opposition to Sound Transit placing the operations and maintenance facility on the Dick's and Lowe's sites. Hillis provided comments on how Dick's positively impacts the community. Fincher expressed appreciation of everyone that provided comments during the public hearing. Fincher advised that the City did not envision placing a maintenance and operations facility in the transit-oriented area and she is looking forward to the revitalization of the area. Fincher advised that the Midway landfill location is a better location for the facility. Kent City Council City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 5, 2019 Kent, Washington Page 7 of 14 Higgins expressed appreciation of everyone that spoke during the public hearing. Higgins indicated that former councilmember Tim Clark correctly conveyed the lengthy process the communities of Kent and Des Moines went through to determine what they wanted in the area of the light rail station. Council envisioned a transit-oriented development, a dense, walkable area of neighborhoods full of businesses and homes and multiple uses with quick and ready access to the new light rail station. Higgins was deeply offended that any business that wishes to overturn the will of the Council. Higgins indicated there is a perfect location for an operations and maintenance facility immediately to the south and available for free to Sound Transit and it has access to federal programs to assist in the redevelopment of the Brownfield. Higgins requested Sound Transit take the site off the list - today. Higgins advised that he has spoken with transit advocates from around the region that indicated other cities have contributed to some Sound Transit- related improvements - Bellevue paid for a tunnel. Higgins indicated Bellevue has three times the revenues of Kent and Kent does not have the budget of Bellevue to pay for improvements. Higgins indicated that if we are talking about equity and social justice, he wants Sound Transit to know that it is not equitable to do this to Kent. Boyce expressed appreciation of everyone that provided comments during the public hearing. Boyce conveyed that the Council, Mayor and leadership team is unified and will fight tooth and nail to ensure this property is not affected. Boyce strongly believes that we can convince Sound Transit that this site is not the right spot for the operations and maintenance facility and that the landfill is. Boyce advised that there is a plan to meet with Sound Transit to show why the landfill is a better site for them. Boyce urged everyone to reach out to the Sound Transit board to let them know they oppose the proposed site of the facility. Mayor Ralph expressed her appreciation of the Council and read a statement for the record. The City's concerns about the siting the Sound Transit Operations and Maintenance Facility center and the City's ability to implement the Vision set forth nearly a decade ago are what we are talking about here. The Plan welcomed link rail to the West Hill, we are not talking about, at all, not wanting light rail, I think we are all exc ited about that and we have heard that from the residents of West Hill how important this is. It is important to note that the proposed operations and maintenance facility and the Federal Way Link Extension are separate projects. There has been some confusion about the City of Kent not wanted light rail, none of that is true. What we are talking about is the action that Council has taken and the comments regarding the siting of the operations and maintenance facility. The Federal Way Link Extension will be constructed beginning next year, and includes a station on 30th Avenue South just north of South 240th Street. The Kent City Council City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 5, 2019 Kent, Washington Page 8 of 14 operations and maintenance facility, as Sound Transit continues to remind us, is in the very early planning stages. Many regional plans support the type of forward-thinking, transit-oriented planning done as part of the Midway Subarea Plan. Transportation 2040, which is our regional transportation plan adopted by the Puget Sound Regional Council, encourages jurisdictions to conduct comprehensive sub- area planning for high-capacity transit station areas. King County's Countywide Planning Policies guide cities to develop station area plans for high-capacity transit stations “reflecting the unique characteristics and local vision for each station area including transit supportive land uses.” That's what our Envision Midway Plan does. Kent has shown the region that we care about creating implementable, community-driven visioning to make the most out of the significant transit investment that Sound Transit light rail station represents. We crafted our zoning and design guidelines to maximize the benefits of transit, including dense housing in close proximity to the station so that as many people as possible can access regional transit. The commitment to the Plan shown by the City and region provide a clear picture of the future of Midway as a dense, pedestrian-friendly community - a picture that property owners and developers can count on. You heard Jasmine Donovan speak about that tonight that one of their reasons in siting where they did was the plan that the City had laid out for the Vision for that Midway area. The City followed the lead of nationwide best practices in prioritizing compact, transit-supportive uses around the station - including jobs, housing, services and public open space. It's not necessarily about the businesses, it's about the gathering places. Dick's Drive-in, no matter what time you are there, there are people there. Siting a 30+ acre operations and maintenance facility less than 800 feet from the future light rail station would be devastating and totally contradictory to this nationally recognized planning approach that the City of Kent has followed as we adopted this plan over the last 15-20 years. If the operation and maintenance facility is constructed on the Dick’s Drive-in/Lowes site, the ability to implement the vision would be severely impacted. I think it's fair to say it would be brought to a screeching halt. An operations and maintenance facility in this location is not consistent with Sound Transit’s own Transit- oriented development policy adopted in April of 2018; specifically, the following goals: • Support implementation of state, regional and local growth plans, policies and strategies - These are not being followed • Encourage a creation of housing options near transit - This is weakened by siting the facility at the proposed site • Encourage convenient, safe multi-model access to the transit system, with an emphasis on non-motorized access It’s important to note that this is not a case of “not in my backyard.” The immediate area surrounding the station has some of the greatest transit- oriented development potential in all of South King County, making this site unique. There are five other alternatives under consideration for the Kent City Council City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 5, 2019 Kent, Washington Page 9 of 14 operations and maintenance facility site, including two additional sites in Kent. There are two potential projects on the landfill site. Of all the potential sites that have been listed to be potentially studied, the Lowe's and Dick's is unique and has the most potential for that transit-oriented development that is important to our community. It has been said by Sound Transit that cities do not welcome operations and maintenance facilities with open arms. As I have indicated previously, Kent welcomes the opportunity with open arms, we want to work with Sound Transit on the analysis of the landfill site to find out what it will take to build it there, this is us saying - how can we partner together with Seattle Public Utilities, who owns that property, and the surrounding communities to come together for a win-win solution. It's really more of an issue with land compatibility with high capacity transit and consistency with the Kent’s adopted land use plans. With light rail construction starting next year, Kent has an opportunity to help support the increased population that is coming to this region. We are growing leaps and bounds and I know everybody in this room feels that growth every single day. It is imperative to think long-term and make wise land use decisions that support this goal. An operations and maintenance facility within 800 feet of a light rail station is short-sighted and inhibits the ability of the City, property owners and developers to realize a community in line with this goal. An operations and maintenance facility on the property where Dick’s Drive-in, Lowes, Dominos, the nail shop, the tea shop and where Starbucks is located does not fit for the City's vision for the West Hill. We will continue as a City to work with Sound Transit collaboratively, we have multiple projects happening - a new parking garage coming to downtown and a light rail project on the West Hill - we want to work together. I am committed to meeting with Sound Transit and I have an agreement with Peter Rogoff that we will speak on an at least monthly basis, and our staff will be speaking every two weeks as we go through this process. You heard Councilmember Higgins say it and I will say it again, our ask of Sound Transit is that this location be removed from the list for consideration. We are also committed to working hand in hand with Sound Transit and Seattle Public Utilities on the analysis of the landfill site or any other sites they want to consider. The requirement for an environmental study is that there be two or more locations, we can remove this site from the list and still meet those requirements. This is now in the hands of Sound Transit and the City Council has made it clear what is an appropriate use for that facility. Mayor Ralph encouraged everyone to reach out to Sound Transit Board members. Sound Transit has been very open. It is the City of Kent's intent to provide them with all the data and facts that they need to be able to make this decision and do the right thing and take this property off the list for consideration.

Let me preface my comments by saying I am a 20-year resident on Kent's West Hill and currently the chairperson of the West Hill Cambridge Community Council. I want to say this ordinance is not about Dick's (though I love to go there). This ordinance is about the future of Kent's West Hill. lf you have been lucky enough to find a parking spot in Sound Transit's Angle Lake Parking Structure and taken the Light Rail into Seattle you will have noticed a lot of change along the line. Each of the rail stations in Rainier Valley has become a center of change. New development and housing have come in to the area and resulted in revitalization of the areas around the stations. Along with that development comes jobs and tax revenue. You can look at BART in the Bay area and the MAX in Portland and see that similar development patterns have occurred. This growth is also consistent with the Growth Management Act goal of formation of urban centers. This vision is also in line with the city's Midway Subarea Plan. But against this backdrop of the promise of revitalization of the West Hill's commercial center, Sound Transit is proposing to put a plug on that revitalization by the siting of their maintenance facility in such close proximity to the planned light rail station. Taking over the Lowes/Starbucks/Dicks site would eliminate businesses that the West Hill Community has come to be dependent upon. Sound Transit has promised about 200 jobs. However, what they don't mention is that there is an approximately equal number of jobs that will be taken away by removing the existing businesses. Let me note that unlike the Sound Transit promised jobs which require some technical skill, the current job base allows for local residents to compete for those jobs. The loss of the commercial area will also result in a loss of tax revenue from the commercial activities. ln addition, the commercial development potential of the area behind Dick's will be lost along with the jobs and tax revenue. The Sound Transit Maintenance facility in this area does not make sense from the financial, zoning or community perspectives. I urge you to continue the lnterim Zoning Ordinance on the property and vehemently encourage Sound Transit to look elsewhere. RECEIVED \\ .t E*hihif b lP P++M ptUWc- t@k FEB _ b 2019 CIry OF KENT CITY CLERK M,ry Tba"d Feb 5 2019, Comments on the Midway Zoning for a transit maintenance facility: Mel Roberts, While I am a Member of Kent Bicycle Advisory Board and Cascade Bicycle Club, I am making these comments as a private citizen. I support the goal listed in the writeup for the council, that says: It (the Envision Midway) envisions a well-designed built environment, including pedestrian friendly streetscapes, multimodal connections, and a variety of housing types and jobs that support transit use. One of the parts of the Envision Midway that is important to me is the ability for people who ride bicycles to be able to ride from SR-516 to S272th St along or near the guideway for the Link Light Rail. A walking and riding path provides the ability to ride adjacent to the area needed for the Light rail Maintenance facility. I support the position of the City of Kent to not provide the maintenance facility north of S245th St. My preference would be to use the Midland Land Fill site. There are several reasons for this: 1) The outgassing from the landfill is better controlled in a facility that has the large fresh air exchanges as train vehicles are moved in and out of the buildings. 2l lt does not seem as safe to build residential sleeping facilities where there might be methane gas escaping into buildings. 3) The is room for a multipurpose trail along the side of the rail maintenance yard at this location. 4l The trail provides for travel by bicycle to and from the Rail facility by the employees that work there.
