construction cost date range in 12.13.170, standard public notice procedures
for subdivisions in KCC 12.04, and the proposed changes to maximum
residential building heights in KCC 15.04.170. Sara Ullman and Hayley
Bonsteel explained why the proposed change in the construction cost date
range for which school impact fees are based would assist with the timing of
the adoption of the school district Capital Facilities Plans in conjunction with
the City’s annual budget. Sara Ullman explained the public notice
requirements for short plats and plats and how the proposed increase in
mailing radius would correct inconsistencies in city code. Sara Ullman also
explained the rationale regarding the proposed standardization of residential
building heights.
No members of the public spoke on the item so once all questions were
answered, Gwen Allen-Carston made a motion to close the public hearing, Ali
Shasti seconded the motion.
MOTION: Recommend City Council adopt an ordinance making several
housekeeping amendments as presented by staff.

ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Kurt Hanson, Economic and Community Development Director
220 Fourth Avenue S,
Kent, WA 98032
253-856-5454
DATE: August 12, 2019
TO: Land Use and Planning Board
FROM: Economic & Community Development
SUBJECT: 2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
SUMMARY: The City received three docket applications by the annual Sept. 1st,
2018 deadline for amendments to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The
three proposals were identified as CPA-2018-01, CPA-2018-2, and CPA-2018-5;
CPA-2018-01 was later withdrawn. Both proposals under consideration seek to
amend existing land use designations to Mixed Use. Proposed sites consist of:
CPA-2018-2: one 1.96-acre parcel on Military Road currently designated
Commercial.
CPA-2018-5: two parcels totaling 1.37 acres on 104th Ave. SE, currently
designated SF-8.
The staff report included in the LUPB packet contains background information, an
analysis of public benefit and consistency with comprehensive plan policies, exhibits
depicting the proposed sites and vicinity, and a staff’s analysis for each proposal.
Analyses are based upon the standards of review listed in Kent City Code.
Staff will be available at the August 12 LUPB meeting to present information,
answer questions, and receive feedback from LUPB members.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment Requests for
2018
Docketed Items #CPA -2018-2 , #CPA -2018-5
Introduction
The City received three docket applications by the annual Sept. 1st deadline for amendments to
the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map; one application, CPA-2018-01, was later withdrawn.
The two proposals to be considered are identified as CPA-2018-2 and CPA-2018-5. This staff
report includes background information, an analysis of public benefit and consistency with
comprehensive plan policies, exhibits depicting the proposed sites and vicinity, and a staff
recommendation for each proposal. Analysis and recommendations are based upon the
standards of review listed in Kent City Code.
(Note: city staff proposed a fourth land use plan map amendment for a property located at
10860 SE 196th Street due to a misconception regarding the owner’s desire for the city to rectify
an inadvertent split-zoning issue. Since determining the owner has no interest in rectifying the
split-zoning, this amendment has been removed from consideration.)

Proposal CPA-2018-2
Applicant requests re-designation from Commercial (C) to Mixed Use (MU).
Background:
The proposed site consists of one 1.96-acre parcel at 24700 Military Road. It has full urban
services and is located on an active transit corridor; it is also less than a mile from the Kent Des
Moines Park & Ride.
The proposed site currently contains a mix of retail and commercial uses and a significant
amount of surface parking. The applicant intends to reinvest in the property and construct a
mixed-use development after pursuing a rezone to CC-MU or GC-MU. The property fronts 36th
Ave. S/Military Rd., a minor arterial, and has its back to 38th Ave. S, a residential collector.
It is generally best practice to avoid amending the land use plan map in a way that creates
“islands” in which a single parcel has a land use designation that is different from all other
properties surrounding it. With that in mind, staff has developed a more strategic alternative to
the proposal, which also includes the surrounding properties, totaling 13 properties and 5.67
acres. The staff alternative would amend the land use designation for all properties in the
immediate area currently designated Commercial, as well as the remainder of the split-
designated lot to the south and an adjacent single-family lot. For purposes of the following policy
analysis, the greater area that is being considered as part of the staff alternative shall be
referred to as “the larger site.”
Seven of the 13 proposed parcels are developed with various retail and commercial uses and
parking, with nearly 100% site coverage. Three parcels are owned by the City of Kent and
currently function as a neighborhood park, although a large municipal water tower is planned to
be installed on these lots. Two parcels to the south of the City-owned lots contain single-family
residences, of which one takes ingress/egress from Military Rd., and the other from S 249th St.
The southwesternmost parcel on the site contains a daycare center which has operated in this
location for several decades under a Conditional Use Permit. A CUP is required of in-home
businesses in single-family residential zones. This parcel, on the corner of Military Rd. and S
249th St., as well as the single-family property directly to the east have recently been purchased
and come under a single owner, who intends to use both properties for commercial operations.
Although this is currently not allowed without a new CUP, it signals unmet demand for additional
neighborhood commercial services in this area.
Relevant Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies:
Goal LU-3: Kent will focus household and employment growth in the Urban Center and
designated Activity Centers to provide adequate land and densities to accommodate a large
portion of the adopted 20-year housing target of 10,858 new dwelling units and 15,648 new jobs
within Kent’s Planning Area.
Staff comment: The Kent comprehensive plan and the regional and countywide planning
framework under which it operates emphasize the targeting of growth in designated centers.
Although the proposed amendment is not within Kent’s designated activity centers, it is within a
half mile of the Midway activity center. Therefore, this proposal would be somewhat consistent
with the intent of this goal.

Policy LU-6.3: Locate housing opportunities with a variety of densities within close proximity to
employment, shopping, transit, human and community services.
Staff Comment: The proposal site (and larger site) is located within close proximity to transit,
commercial services and shopping, and an elementary school. Additional density in this area
would fulfill the intent of this policy.
Goal LU-7: Kent will provide opportunities for a variety of housing types, options and densities
throughout the City to meet the community’s changing demographics.
Staff comment: The majority of Kent’s residential areas are single-family. If this proposed or
larger site is designated Mixed Use and eventually rezoned and redeveloped as a mixed-use
development with multifamily residential housing, it would provide a greater variety of housing
types, options, and density than currently exists.
Policy LU-10.1: Examine commercial nodes, corridors and subareas for existing attributes and
opportunities to revitalize the commercial uses, connect with surrounding residential
neighborhoods and support multimodal transportation facilities.
Staff comment: This unique commercial node is near existing transit service, including a well-
served King County Metro Park & Ride facility, and it is adjacent to residential neighborhoods
that could benefit from increased commercial options.
Policy LU-10.2: Ensure opportunities for residential development within existing business
districts to provide support for shops, services and employment within walking distance.
Staff comment: The proposed site and larger site contain existing businesses that could benefit
from the support of on-site multi-family residential uses. New residential uses on this proposed
site, or eventually on the larger site, could provide an opportunity for people who work at these
businesses to live close to their places of work.
Policy LU-10.4: Promote redevelopment of existing commercial properties by limiting the
conversion of additional residential land use plan map designations to commercial land use plan
map designations.
Staff comment: The proposed site, as well as a majority of the parcels in the larger site, are
currently designated and zoned Commercial, meaning that residential uses are not allowed
here. This change would introduce new residential capacity without limiting commercial
capacity, and would increase the likelihood of redevelopment of these commercial properties by
potentially creating greater financial viability.
A small segment (1.5 parcels) of the larger site is residential; converting to Mixed Use (a
commercial designation), would seem to conflict with this policy. However, the long-term
operation of a commercial daycare on this property, and the property-owner’s interest in
incorporating a second adjacent owned parcel into the commercial use, indicates that there is
an unmet demand for commercial property in this area. Access to Military Rd., a minor arterial,
makes this an appropriate place for a Mixed Use designation, allowing commercial uses,
particularly since that would be consistent with its current use.
Goal H-2: Encourage a variety of housing types.

Staff comment: Kent’s residential areas are majority single-family. Higher-density residential
opportunities near existing and potential new commercial uses could offer a housing option that
meets alternative housing needs and preferences.
Policy H-2.2: Encourage infill development and recycling of land to provide adequate residential
sites.
Staff comment: Designating this underutilized land as Mixed Use, which could allow multi-family
residential uses if a rezone were requested and approved, would encourage infill development
by adding to the potential financial viability of a redevelopment project here.
Policy T-1.1: Locate commercial, industrial, multifamily and other uses that generate high levels
of traffic in designated activity centers around intersections of principal or minor arterials, or
around freeway interchanges.
Staff comment: The larger site is located primarily along Military Rd., a minor arterial, at its “Y”
intersection with a residential collector (38th Ave. S). While 38th Ave S. is classified as a
residential collector, its environment for the first two blocks south of its intersection with Military
Rd. is unique to that road classification due to the existing commercial uses to the west and the
National Guard Armory to the east. With careful attention to appropriate access points, and
construction of road frontage improvements consistent with the requirements in Kent’s Design
and Construction Standards, as well as consideration of bus stop amenities as appropriate,
commercial and multi-family residential uses would be appropriate here in fitting with this policy.
Applying the Standards of Review:
1. The amendment will not result in development that will adversely affect the public health,
safety, and general welfare.
Staff comment: Staff mailed letters to property owners within 300ft. of the parcels proposed for
re-designation in the larger site and received four comments, two of which were concerned with
increased traffic, one of which was supportive of the change due to an expectation of increased
property values from a mixed-use designation, and a fourth was neutral on the changes. Due to
concurrency requirements, and transportation impact fees to pay for additional trips generated
by new development, staff has concluded that new development here would not adversely
impact public health, safety, and general welfare.
2. The amendment is based upon new information that was not available at the time of adoption
of the comprehensive plan, or that circumstances have changed since the adoption of the plan
that warrant an amendment to the plan.
Staff comment: The need for housing variety and options has steadily increased regionally each
year due to population and job growth and housing demand. Changes in market preferences
also result in increasing demand for multi-family and mixed-use options since Kent’s
comprehensive plan was adopted in 2015.
3. The amendment will result in long-term benefits to the community as a whole and is in the
best interest of the community.

Staff comment: This comprehensive plan map amendment could result in development that
could provide more opportunities for a wider variety of housing, improve redevelopment
opportunities for an underutilized commercial area, introduce live/work opportunities, and
provide additional commercial services and amenities for nearby neighborhoods.
4. The amendment is consistent with other goals and policies of the comprehensive plan, and
that the amendment will maintain concurrency between the land use, transportation, and capital
facilities elements of the plan.
Staff comment: The amendment meets several goals and policies in the comprehensive plan as
described above. It would be an efficient use of existing and planned infrastructure serving
existing commercial and adjacent residential areas.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the staff-modified proposal for re-designation of the larger site.

Proposal CPA-2018-5
Applicant requests re-designation from Single-Family 8 (SF-8) to Mixed Use
(MU).
Background
The proposed site consists of two parcels totaling 1.37 acres, currently designated Single-
Family, 8 dwelling units per acre. The proposal is to re-designate these parcels to Mixed Use
(MU), reflecting the designation of adjacent parcels fronting 104th Avenue SE. The properties
proposed for re-designation are behind two lots which front 104th Avenue SE, and each has a
private easement recorded on its deed for access to the public street. The City of Kent
Development Engineering Division has requested that access to 104th Avenue SE be ensured
as a condition of any land use plan map amendments or future development of these properties;
access to 106th Avenue SE, to the east of the parcels, will be prohibited.

The site is adjacent to Morrill Meadows Park, where a new YMCA facility and redesigned park is
currently under construction, representing a significant public-private investment. This location
has bus stops within 300 feet that serve Metro routes 164, 168, and 169 with frequent peak
service, and it is located along one of the proposed alignments of the King County RapidRide I-
Line.
City of Kent GIS data indicate a wetland present in the southwest corner of the southern parcel
(7830800296); however, a wetland delineation completed as part of the Morrill Meadows YMCA
project in 2016 indicates that these wetlands no longer exist, and are in fact storm water
features that terminate south of the property boundary.
Relevant Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies:
Policy LU-3.1: Encourage mixed-use development that combines retail, office, or residential
uses to provide a diverse and economically vibrant Urban Center and designated Activity
Centers.
Staff comment: Re-designation of these two parcels to Mixed Use would meet the intent of this
policy, encouraging mixed use development (which could contain a mix of retail, office, or
residential uses) along an active transit corridor and near a major new parks facility. It would
promote diverse and economically vibrant development along the 104th Ave. SE corridor, which
is envisioned as mixed use, but which has remained underdeveloped single-family residential.
Policy LU-6.3: Locate housing opportunities with a variety of densities within close proximity to
employment, shopping, transit, human and community services.
Staff comment: Re-designation of these two parcels to Mixed Use would allow for assemblage
of properties along a proposed high-capacity transit route (RapidRide I-Line), thereby facilitating
redevelopment of these and adjacent parcels. After a meeting with the applicant, staff
understands that these parcels may be under the same ownership and could easily be
assembled for a larger-scale mixed use development. These properties are in close proximity
to Morrill Meadows Park, which includes recreation and community service opportunities. A
commercial shopping center, including a major grocery and department store, is within two
blocks of the properties proposed for re-designation.
Goal LU-7: Kent will provide opportunities for a variety of housing types, options and densities
throughout the City to meet the community’s changing demographics.
Staff comment: As stated above, the majority of Kent’s residential areas are single-family. If this
site is designated Mixed Use and eventually rezoned and redeveloped as a mixed-use
development with multifamily residential housing, it would provide a greater variety of housing
types, options, and density than currently exists.
Goal H-2: Encourage a variety of housing types.
Staff comment: See staff comment above pertaining to housing variety.
Goal LU-10.2: Ensure opportunities for residential development within existing business
districts to provide support for shops, services, and employment within walking distance.
Staff comment: This site is envisioned as mixed use, but currently contains aging single-family

residences. Redevelopment of this site into a large mixed-use development which includes
multi-family residences would increase the number of residential units in close proximity to the
existing retail center located two blocks from the properties proposed for re-designation.
Policy H-2.2: Encourage infill development and recycling of land to provide adequate residential
sites.
Staff comment: Designating this underutilized land as Mixed Use could allow commercial and
multi-family residential uses if a rezone were requested and approved. This would encourage
infill development by adding to the financial viability of a redevelopment project here, and
through parcel assemblage would facilitate the transition of adjacent parcels to mixed use as
envisioned in Kent’s comprehensive plan.
Policy T-1.1: Locate commercial, industrial, multifamily and other uses that generate high levels
of traffic in designated activity centers around intersections of principal or minor arterials, or
around freeway interchanges.
Staff comment: The site is located behind, and has access through, two parcels which are
located on 104th Avenue SE, a principal arterial as classified in Kent’s Transportation Master
Plan. Per conversations with the applicant, it is likely the parcels proposed for re-designation
would be assembled with those fronting 104th Avenue SE.
Applying the Standards of Review:
1. The amendment will not result in development that will adversely affect the public health,
safety, and general welfare.
Staff comment: Staff mailed letters to property owners within 300 ft. of the properties proposed
for re-designation. A single comment was received as of the writing of this report, neutral on the
changes but requesting information. Development resulting from this proposed land use plan
map amendment would be beneficial to the general public welfare by promoting assemblage
and redevelopment of underutilized land.
2. The amendment is based upon new information that was not available at the time of adoption
of the comprehensive plan, or that circumstances have changed since the adoption of the plan
that warrant an amendment to the plan.
Staff comment: The need for housing variety and options has steadily increased regionally each
year due to population and job growth and housing demand. Changes in market preferences
also result in increasing demand for multi-family and mixed-use options since Kent’s
comprehensive plan was adopted in 2015.
3. The amendment will result in long-term benefits to the community as a whole and is in the
best interest of the community.
Staff comment: This comprehensive plan map amendment could facilitate development that
would provide more opportunities for a wider variety of housing, improve redevelopment
opportunities for an underutilized area envisioned as mixed use but currently retaining aging
single-family residences, introduce live/work opportunities, and provide additional commercial
services and amenities for nearby neighborhoods.

4. The amendment is consistent with other goals and policies of the comprehensive plan, and
that the amendment will maintain concurrency between the land use, transportation, and capital
facilities elements of the plan.
Staff comment: The amendment meets several goals and policies in the comprehensive plan as
described above. It would be an efficient use of existing and planned transportation and transit
infrastructure, as well as significant City and private investment in an adjacent park and
community services facility. Future development occurring as a result of the land use plan map
amendment would be expected to meet concurrency requirements.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s proposal.

SUBJECT: Rally the Valley Update
SUMMARY: The City received three docket applications by the annual Sept. 1st,
2018 deadline for amendments to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The
three proposals were identified as CPA-2018-01, CPA-2018-2, and CPA-2018-5;
CPA-2018-01 was later withdrawn. Both proposals under consideration seek to
amend existing land use designations to Mixed Use. Proposed sites consist of:
CPA-2018-2: one 1.96-acre parcel on Military Road currently designated
Commercial.
CPA-2018-5: two parcels totaling 1.37 acres on 104th Ave. SE, currently
designated SF-8.
The staff report included in the LUPB packet contains background information, an
analysis of public benefit and consistency with comprehensive plan policies, exhibits
depicting the proposed sites and vicinity, and a staff’s analysis for each proposal.
Analyses are based upon the standards of review listed in Kent City Code.
Staff will be available at the August 12 LUPB meeting to present information,
answer questions, and receive feedback from LUPB members.

Strategic Issue #1:
Kent has a unique
concentration of
industrial land and
infrastructure; absent
other significant economic
activity, and combined with
state-imposed limitations
on revenue, more diverse
and resilient forms of
funding are needed.
