Approval of Minutes Council Member Jim Berrios MOVED and Chair Bill Boyce Seconded a MOTION to approve the minutes of June 12, 2017. Motion PASSED 2-0. 5. Meet Me on Meeker- Update on line survey results Hayley Bonsteel and William Ellis presented outreach survey responses from the community on how they access Meeker Street (walking, assisted mobility, driving a vehicle or riding a bike). This survey was advertised through word-of-mouth, project contacts and an article in the Kent Reporter. The survey received 225 responses as of 7-3-2017, and more are expected to come in. The survey showed that 43% of survey takers reported that visiting a business is the primary reason why they are accessing Meeker. The rest of the results show that a third of self-reported drivers are commuters seeking to get to and from work. The survey also asked what would compel you to visit meeker more often, top answers include: If there were better businesses (28%), If it felt more welcoming and safe (22%), If there were more opportunities for entertainment (19%), If there were more parking (12%), If there were better lighting (10%) and If I could either walk or ride my bicycle there from home. Council Member Berrios would like concerns for traffic issues to be addressed from residents from the West hill for housing that is now developing, and is not contributing, currently to the data from these surveys. Hayley and William will continue to bring updates of mitigating traffic by transforming HOV lanes for better access to community members. 6. Villa Real Neighborhood Toni Azzola Neighborhood Program coordinator presented to the council Lisa McSherry, president of Vila Real Neighborhood. The neighborhood is west of Panther Lake to include 128 homes. Lisa describes the neighborhood as diverse, made up of single- family homes. She described the comradery of neighbors, and usage of play areas and basketball courts. Lisa would like to access more resources such as translation to be able to do outreach to help to continue to combine the diverse community. 1 Economic and Community Development Committee July 10 12, 2017 Minutes Kent, Washington Approval Pending Page 2 of 3 Motion: Recommend Council adopt a resolution that recognizes the Vial Real Neighborhood Council, supports its community building efforts, and confers all opportunities offered by the City’s Neighborhood Program. Jim Berrios moved, Tina Budell seconded, and motion passed 3-0 7. Sound Transit Service Agreement – Cost related to project review & permitting Charlene Anderson presented an update to begin: Anderson explained current work with Sound Transit for street designs, right of way and widths. Sound Transit will be creating two new streets; 236 and 234, upgrading 30th Street, improving 272nd, as well as access streets. The city is now working on a staff level non-binding letter of concurrence so that Sound Transit can begin their property acquisitions. Anderson explained that work is also being done to access the feasibility of a Regional Detention facility. Sound Transit will need to construct detention facilities for the new roadways, under public ownership, as well as their own private detention needs. There is also discussion on how to activate the first floor of the garage, in the form of activating the exterior with artwork or including food carts/networks around the plaza. Anderson expressed the need and want for council suggestions and feedback on this. Transit Service Agreement: Anderson presents for an approval of a funding agreement for retroactive city staff work which began on January 12th after the City signed a memorandum of understanding with Sound Transit. The presented funding agreement is for roughly $300,000, which would hold as a cap amount for actual City staff time on the project. Motion: Recommend to the full City Council approval of the City Services Agreement and Task Order #1 pertaining to reimbursement of staff time for establishing performance requirements to be included in the Request for Proposals to design/build contractors for the Federal Way Link Extension, subject to final approval by the Chief Administrative Officer and City Attorney. Tina Budell moved, Jim Berrios seconded, and motion passed 3-0 8. Cancer Care Site- Update Matt Gilbert, Current Planning Manager and Ben Wolters, ECD Director presented updates for the project to build a 308 unit urban style apartment community. The zoning of this project is Community Commercial Mixed use, which has the requirement that 25 percent of the building area be commercial property. The proposal is to consider for commercial and live in purposes, to include a commercial store front with standard home/apartment amenities. The proposal is similar to Meet Me on Meeker, which includes factors like on-street parking for commercial use and wider pedestrian walk ways, in order to meet the 25 percent standard. After researching the Kent City Code, it was found that this proposal of a live/work space would meet the standard. 2 Economic and Community Development Committee July 10 12, 2017 Minutes Kent, Washington Approval Pending Page 3 of 3 Gilbert presented the background that the code does not currently state what can be considered commercial space and what can’t be counted. However, the code does state certain standards to include that: the nature of the use does not create impacts that are out of character with the zone, and that the use is consistent with the purpose of the zone (to provide commercial space) and that the use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Gilbert explains that if all of those requirements are met, that the director can approve uses that are not clearly defined within the code. This update is for the Council to consider modeling this proposal around more Mixed- Use Commercial properties for commercial and retail opportunities for future projects. Council expressed concerns for the commercial space being pushed for further apartments versus the push to invite actual businesses in Kent. They also expressed concern on the addition of these units to the already increasing traffic concerns. Wolters responded with the current efforts with WDOT to test out a General Purpose lane, along with considering the close driving time with the Link Light Rail project from this project to help reduce traffic. 9. ShoWare- Update Wolters reports that the purchase of the new POS system will go forward and will be implemented over the next few months. The signage for the final design and procurement for Accesso ShoWare has the goal of being up for the T-birds opening day of September 23, 2017. Wolters also confirmed that the new signage for the Accesso ShoWare will come at no cost to the City, using the no interest loan through SMG and more favorable terms on the ticket contract to cover the cost of the sign. The council would like to explore a minimal report on Tax revenue from 2014 to present on Kent Station, by the zip code. 10. Director’s Report Wolters updates council that there is progression on a draft request for information for the Highlands property that was approved by council for surplus. The Naden property surplus site is still on schedule for fall 2017, a request for information still needs to be sent out. The final house on the property was demolished on the day of the council meeting Wolters anticipates exceeding revenue projections for the year for permitting.

Kent, WA 98032-5895 Date: August 8, 2017 TO: Chair Bill Boyce and Economic & Community Development Committee FROM: Matt Gilbert, Planning Manager; Adam Long, Assistant City Attorney RE: SB 5674 – Recent Legislative Amendments to Chapter 58.17 RCW – Final Plat Procedures For Meeting of August 14, 2017 SUMMARY: On April 27, 2017 the Governor signed into law SB 5674. SB 5674 amends Chapter 58.17 RCW relating to the final approval of subdivisions of land. SB 5674 provides an option for local government to change final plat approval from a City Council action to an administrative action. Cities, towns, and counties now have the authority to delegate final plat approval to an agency or appropriate administrative personnel. When land is subdivided into 10 or more lots the property owner is required to advance through 4 general phases of permitting and construction before homes may be built on the newly subdivided lots. These 4 phases are generally described as follows: Phase 1 - Preliminary Plat Preliminary plat is the first step in subdividing land. It is intended to serve as the method for a city to ensure consistency with requirements for zoning, density, lot dimensions, environmental and general engineering requirements. Preliminary plat applications are reviewed by traffic engineers, utility engineers, fire, building, planning and development engineers. Preliminary plats trigger a requirement for a public hearing and assign the final decision to the Hearing Examiner. Phase 2 - Civil Engineering Review: Once the Hearing Examiner has approved the preliminary plat, the applicant may now submit civil engineered drawings that provide a very fine level of detailed information regarding road MOTION: Recommend Council adopt an ordinance amending chapters 12.01 and 12.04 of the city code relating to the procedures used for processing final plat approvals, and delegating final plat approval authority to the Planning Director. 25 specifications, utility specifications, street lighting, public landscaping, sidewalks, and grading. The engineered plans are reviewed by traffic engineers, utility engineers, fire, building, planning and development engineers. Upon a final determination that the plans meet all of the city’s engineering design and construction standards the plans are signed by the City Engineer. This milestone allows the developer to begin construction of the plat. Phase 3 - Plat Construction: Plat construction consists of completing the work that is approved within the civil engineering drawings. The developer will grade the site, install utilities, construct the roads, and install the landscaping, lighting and sidewalks. Once all of these features are installed/constructed, and the city inspectors have passed all of the inspections (or bonded for unfinished features), the public improvements are transferred into city ownership. Phase 4 - Final Plat: Upon completion of the civil engineering improvements the applicant can now submit their final plat application. Currently, this process serves as a close out process before the plat is recorded with the County and the lots become official lots of record. During the final plat process staff reviews all of the conditions of approval included in the Hearing Examiner’s decision of preliminary plat, ensures that all legal descriptions of new lots are correct, reviews the final plat documents that will be recorded, and ensures that all necessary easements and covenants are in place. Upon a determination that the final plat is approvable, staff prepares an ordinance that is presented to City Council who takes final action to approve the plat. Once the ordinance is effective the applicant can record the approved documents. SB 5674 has the effect of amending RCW 58.17 by allowing a municipality to adopt a local ordinance that modifies the approval process for final plats – the last of the 4 phases described above. In other words, the City of Kent has the option to shift the final plat approval authority away from City Council and to an administrative authority, e.g. Mayor, Department Director. There are two primary advantages to shifting this authority. First, it saves the applicant between 6 and 8 weeks of time. This is due to the time it takes to prepare an ordinance, transmit the ordinance to Council, schedule the ordinance approving the subdivision for City Council action, publishing the action in the newspaper, and waiting the 5 days for it to become effective. The second advantage pertains to efficiencies experienced by city staff. It eliminates the need for staff to prepare an ordinance and agenda bill, for administrative staff to load materials into the computer system, and for staff to present at City Council. Each final plat consumes a significant of time for preparation and presentation to City Council. Additionally, Council has a very limited ability to deny or modify a final plat because the quasi-judicial Hearing Examiner process will have already addressed the majority of significant city code issues during preliminary plat process, and because the plat has already been fully developed during Phase 3.

AN ORDINANCE of the C ity Council of the City of Kent, Washington, amending chapters 12.01 and 12.04 of the city code, relating to the procedures used for processing final plat approvals. RECITALS A. The City Council has an ongoing interest to simplify land use decision making and to low er City a nd customer costs by in creasing efficiency. B. Kent City Code currently establishes pro cedures for processing final plats which include the re quirement that final approval of plats for subdivisions must be given by the City Council. This final approval by Council is generally seen as merely a technical legal requirement, as Council has a very limited ability to deny or modify a final plat because the Hearing Examiner process has already addressed any sig nificant code compliance issues during the preliminary review process. C. On April 27, 2017, the G overnor signed into law SB 5 674 which amends Chapter 58.17 RCW to al low local governments to ado pt procedures that shift final plat approval from a City Council action to an administrative decision by a specific City official or City department. D. There are significant advantages to shifting the final plat approval from Council to a n administrative process. It would save 27 2 Amend KCC 12.01 and 12.04 - Re: Final Plat Approvals substantial time an d money for applicants, as well as reduce the substantial amount of time and resources required to have staff prep are and present final plats to Council. E. SB 5674 allows local jurisdictions to make these modifications through the adoption of an ordinance that may go into effect on or after July 23, 2017.
