Kent City Council Workshop Minutes
January 19, 2016
The workshop meeting was called to order at 5:01 p.m. by Council President Boyce.
Councilmembers present: Berrios, Boyce, Budell, Fincher, Higgins, Ralph and Thomas
Council President Boyce discussed and highlighted the meeting topic.
Fireworks – Draft Ordinance – Assistant City Attorney Pat Fitzpatrick reviewed the
proposed ordinance and how it differs from existing City law. Fitzpatrick reviewed
existing Chapter 13.05.010, sale and discharge of fireworks in the Kent City Code.
Councilmember Thomas confirmed that there would be no fireworks on Lake Meridian
unless a permit is obtained and a licensed pyrotechnic expert was running them.
Fitzpatrick continued and explained what a permit would entail. He added that the fees
would be taken out and handled by the City’s fee schedule. The permit process, he
said, would require a licensed pyrotechnic operator be named on the permit.
Councilmember Berrios confirmed that ShoWare Center would need to have a licensed
pyrotechnic operator on hand whenever fireworks are used for their shows.
Fitzpatrick discussed the public display of fireworks and stated that a permit may be
issued for the 4th of July Splash event, the tree lighting ceremony, and the Kent
ShoWare Center, school or post-secondary education events, wedding ceremonies, and
cultural events.
Council deliberated on the “cultural event” language in the proposed ordinance.
Councilmember Thomas stated that any event would have to be approved by the Fire
Marshal and have a licensed pyrotechnic operator on hand. He further stated Lake
Meridian homeowners also light fireworks. He discussed having an exemption at the
three lakes in Kent to allow fireworks.
Councilmember Fincher confirmed that a safety review is done when the Fire Marshal
inspects prior to a fireworks permit. Fitzpatrick added that the suggested language for
a licensed pyrotechnician should include having their credentials checked prior to the
issuance of a fireworks permit.
Councilmember Ralph noted that by adopting this ordinance, the residents on Lake
Meridian are obtaining a privilege because the City would sanction the 4th of July
event.
Councilmember Berrios communicated that based on this, wherever you are in the
City, you will need to go through a permitting process to obtain a fireworks permit. He
noted some of the requirements to obtain a permit such as setbacks, etc.
January 19, 2016 Kent City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes
2
Jeff Watling, Parks and Community Services Director noted that the City provides 50
percent of the funding for the fireworks show on Lake Meridian.
There was further discussion on the requirements of a fireworks permit.
Fitzpatrick explained that the City’s event would be allowed and individual
homeowners, no matter where they lived, would need to obtain a fireworks permit.
Councilmember Higgins communicated that he will vote in favor of a ban and noted
that a permit is a permit. Everyone should be treated the same no matter where they
live in the City.
Councilmember Fincher highlighted the City sanctioned event in which the City pays
half, as well as the homeowners who set off fireworks from their yards. She stated that
the events from the homeowner yards would require a permit.
Councilmember Thomas confirmed with Police Chief Thomas that there was only one
patrol boat available and it would be difficult to enforce.
Councilmember Budell confirmed with Police Chief Thomas that the officers would have
a list of permits and the officers would know who was permitted.
Councilmember Berrios confirmed with Police Chief Thomas that the police department
could execute tickets based on complaints received on the 4th of July.
Council President Boyce warned people that the City would not be peaceful and quiet if
a ban is put into place. He added that the police department is already stretched and
they would try the best they can to issue tickets.
Councilmember Thomas noted that if this ban is put into place there will be a large
drain on the police and fire department.
Councilmember Budell stated that the City has always had a problem with fireworks
and it has gotten progressively worse. She noted that the police know who the
offenders are because they have been working on this for years. She added that they
utilize intelligence-based policing, so they already have certain areas that they will
focus on when a ban is in place. She said it will take time, maybe even five years, but
eventually it will get better.
Councilmember Thomas said a total ban doesn’t work and it will not be quiet on the 4th
of July in 2017, 2018, or 2019.
Council President Boyce obtained Council consensus to strike the word “high” in
Section 13.05.050, line 4.
Councilmember Higgins suggested determining best practices on the use of “cultural
events” in the language.
January 19, 2016 Kent City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes
3
Councilmember Berrios suggested leaving the language there since everyone would
need to obtain a fireworks permit.
Fire Chief Jon Napier, City’s Fire Marshal, communicated that the City has had permits
for fireworks and there have been cultural event fireworks permits in the past where
the City would regulate events. He noted that the term “cultural” really has no
bearing. He noted that the safety aspect is what determines whether a permit is
issued.
Council President Boyce recommended replacing the cultural event language and
Fitzpatrick replied that he would research and report his findings concerning the
language to the Council.
Fitzpatrick reviewed Section 13.05.040, formerly Reckless Discharge or Use of
Fireworks and Section 13.05.050, Penalty, with the new Section 13.050.060, Violations
and Penalties. He noted the fines and what would constitute a violation under this
section. He also explained two more infractions that could be added to the violations
section.
Councilmember Ralph inquired if the property owners can be held liable for discharged
fireworks debris on their property even if they did not discharge the fireworks.
Fitzpatrick replied that language concerning the cleaning up of fireworks within a 48
hour period could be added.
Councilmember Thomas recommended language concerning the issuance of fines for
minors and Fitzpatrick noted that any person 16 and over can be fined.
Councilmember Berrios verified that the language concerning the weight of all the
fireworks that people have on hand would impact the fine.
Councilmember Budell communicated that people have truckloads of fireworks and a
fine of $250 is only a slap on the wrist for some. She suggested having a fine of $500
per device and $1,000 for people that aren’t Kent residents would certainly ensure that
they don’t come to the City.
Councilmember Thomas confirmed that any fireworks in excess of $250 are a fine up
to $5,000. Fitzpatrick added that the real cost of a $250 fine with court fees would be
$518. Additionally, he stated that there is no way to have a higher fine for someone
who isn’t a resident of Kent.
Fitzpatrick noted for Councilmember Thomas that a fine for commercial property
owners having fireworks discharged on their property would require their knowledge of
the fireworks being discharged. He noted that commercial property owners would be
encouraged to take action when people are discharging fireworks on their property and
would also require them to clean up their property if there was an abundance of
fireworks waste left.
Fitzpatrick continued with Section 13.05.070, Seizure of Fireworks.
January 19, 2016 Kent City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes

Councilmember Budell confirmed that the evidence of fireworks can be shown through
a cell phone or any video, picture, or other credible means.
Council President Boyce suggested having the proposed ordinance be placed back on
the Public Safety Committee agenda on February 9.
Councilmember Ralph thanked the Council for having this discussion.
Councilmember Berrios confirmed that the amendments to the proposed ordinance
would be brought to the Public Safety Committee.
Councilmember Higgins inquired about the state legislature, and Fitzpatrick noted that
having the one-year wait removed would be a hard sell due ot the number of other
things to be considered.
Councilmember Boyce stated that there is a house bill concerning this issue and it is
being considered. He gave his final comments and thanked the Council for their
deliberation on this item.
Meeting adjourned at 6:32 p.m.

the line of duty. He noted that this is Officer Stansfield’s second Lifesaving Award.
Chief Thomas introduced his new employee, Executive Assistant Jalene King.
F. Intergovernmental Reports – Council President Boyce noted that the Sound
Cities Association Public Issues Committee met last week and Best Starts for Kids was
reviewed. He added that the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network was also
discussed and Motorola stated that 38 of the 42 towers have problems, which would
move the timeline back.
Councilmember Higgins noted that the Regional Transit Committee had an orientation
meeting. He stated that tomorrow Sound Transit III will be presented to them.
Councilmember Ralph highlighted her Transportation Policy Board and their acceptance
of the comprehensive plans of Kirkland, Lake Stevens, Marysville, Medina, Mukilteo,
and Kent. She noted that they are considering changes to the project selection criteria
that Puget Sound Regional Council issues grant money for transportation projects. She

G. Pine Tree Park Update – Jeff Watling, Parks and Cultural Services Director
communicated the process and gave a brief update of the assessment done, as
directed by the City Council, on the City’s parks. He noted that after the assessment,
four parks were identified as for sale due to lack of use. These areas identified in that
process were the Old Fire Station property, a remnant parcel on East Hill Park, the
former Resource Center Building, and Pine Tree Park. He noted that the area has been
developed over the past forty plus years. Due to this, the service area of Pine Tree
Park has been greatly reduced and the development cost of the property has
increased. He also explained that the creation of the 277th corridor created a “hard
edge” and there are road access and utility challenges to this property. He noted that
with a smaller service area the return on that investment, along with the increased
development costs, would cause this to be a hard investment. He noted that the
Forward Thrust agreement allows the City to sell the property and the Prosecuting
Attorney’s Office has confirmed that the sale can occur if the intended use is relocated
elsewhere in the City. He noted that an offer has been received from Oakpointe and a
purchase and sale agreement was brought to and approved by the Council in
September with the sale completed in the spring. He noted that the proceeds from the
sale are to be reinvested into the parks system and that is the intent. The parks
sustainability issues are real, he communicated, and some hard decisions have been
Kent City Council Meeting Minutes January 19, 2016

made concerning assets being fenced off, sold, and surplused in order to preserve the
entire parks system.
Councilmember Thomas confirmed that the proceeds can be used on the pool or any
park.
Councilmember Berrios inquired if a portion of the park can be preserved for a kid’s
playarea and Watling replied that a portion will be reserved for a recreation area and
the trail will be kept. Councilmember Berrios added that the area needs a lot of work.
PUBLIC HEARING
No public hearing.
PUBLIC COMMENT
1. Kristy Herrick, Kent – Herrick communicated that she disagreed with Parks and
Cultural Services Director Watling and read from a King County resolution concerning
the Pine Tree Park. She explained several issues with the property being sold.
2. Cathy Vomenici, Kent – Vomenici noted that the sale of Pine Tree Park for
development sets a dangerous precedence for the City and its voters. She added that
the sale of public assets like the park can’t solve budget woes, and inquired how much
the City is getting in Section 8 grants for this sale. She noted that the sale is just not
worth it and expressed concerns with the sale.
3. Traci Dysart, Kent – Dysart stated that the City’s vision is for open space and
noted that keeping the park aligns itself with that. She stated that selling this park to
be developed into an apartment is wrong and mentioned that housing will be there
with no place to walk dogs. She said that the City doesn’t notify residents who will be
affected by issues in the neighborhood. She noted that the sign was placed on January
6 and the public comment period had already passed.
4. Ric Herrick, Kent – Herrick communicated that the Council changed the zoning
some time ago so that the residents are allowed five acre lots. He stated that many
people walk through the park and use it as a gateway to the river. He noted that
people park their vehicles by the school and walk to the park. He said traffic will be
worse when the apartments are built.
5. Mary Personette, Kent – Personette thanked the Council for their work on the
fireworks, especially Councilmember Berrios. She discussed the history of the issue
and highlighted specific housing densities in her neighborhood. She stated there needs
to be a ban in Kent because people from outside of the city come here to shoot off
fireworks. She spoke against having a pyrotechnician hired prior to being issuing a
fireworks permit and reiterated the need to ban fireworks. She stated that she doesn’t
feel having a ban will stop them overnight, it will take time and allow for the problem
areas to be addressed in the City.

6. Leroy Stevenson, Covington – Stevenson highlighted the cost of the Regional
Fire Authority (RFA) to individuals and that his family’s cost has gone up 35 percent
this year. He said the RFA hasn’t fulfilled their promises to reduce costs to residents
and have businesses pay more. He noted that there aren’t fewer employees in the RFA
and we are four months away to vote for a fire benefit charge. He noted that the
charge isn’t applied fairly and there is a tax that no one can understand. He stated
that the taxpayers need a consistent tax amount on their tax roll. He noted that they
adjust fees to pay for their increased budget.
Council President Boyce noted that there is a RFA meeting tomorrow at Station #78 at
5:30 p.m.
Councilmember Thomas noted that the rates for most residents went down and
commercial rates were increased. He added that the process is equitable and a lot of
work goes into the budget.
7. Sharon Gehring, Kent – Gehring urged the Council to pass the fireworks ban. She
noted that the advisory vote passed by a majority vote of the Kent residents and
urged the Council to adopt at the will of its residents.
8. Patricia Roemmich, Kent – Roemmich urged the Council to pass the fireworks
ordinance. She noted that the fireworks are louder and she has to patrol her house to
put out fires that have occurred in the past. She said she has previously called 911,
and this year her neighbor’s car was damaged and a citation was issued. She
communicated an incident that occurred in 2014 with debris falling on her house.
9. Far Ghoddoussi, Kent – Ghoddoussi thanked Council President Boyce for having
the land use issue placed on the Economic and Community Development Committee
agenda. He noted that Assistant City Attorney David Galazin presented three options
at the meeting and he is in favor of all three of them.
10. Jacob Dreifus, Kent – Dreifus discussed homelessness in the City. He noted that
there are over 500 children in the Kent School District listed as homeless. He inquired
why more isn’t done and said it is unacceptable. He voiced his concern on
homelessness in the country and in the City.
11. Karen Gower, Tacoma – Gower stated that Auburn doesn’t have a fireworks ban
and anything the Council does won’t affect illegal fireworks. She discussed the public
display on Lake Meridian. She suggested the City to consider a ban of fireworks all but
two hours, 9pm – 11pm, on July 4. She also discussed banning sales for a certain
amount of days.

B. PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT
C. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
City of Kent will complete the first phase of the Downy Farmstead restoration project by relocating Frager Road away from the
Green River to make room for future creation of a side channel network and expanded floodplain. The new road alignment will
provide a greater buffer/setback from the river. A six car parking l ot will be constructed at the Old Fishing Hole (downstream)
to replace the existing parking area.
After the road is relocated, the city will apply for additional funding to complete the restoration project and enhance river
processes by constructing a side channel and reconnecting floodplain on the left bank of the Green River between river mile
(RM) 21.5 and RM 22.3.
The site was previously acquired by the City of Kent and when full restoration is completed, the project will provide rearing
and refuge habitat for juvenile salmon throughout most of the year, particularly juvenile Chinook salmon. Additional fish
species present at the site and expected to utilize the project area are bull trout, Chum, Coho, Cutthroat, Pink, winter
Steelhead, Pacific and River Lamprey. Enhancing habitat to improve juvenile salmonid rearing, lifestage diversity, and
productivity is a priority in the Green River watershed. A secondary goal of the project is to create additional flood storag e and
to help alleviate flood damages in urban and agricultural areas in the project vicinity. The project final design was completed
12/31/13, Project #11-1219 and includes final docs and reports.

Cultural Resources
This project is subject to the National Historic Preservation Act, Section 106, and therefore appears to be exempt from
Governor’s Executive Order 05-05 Archaeological and Cultural Resources (EO 05-05) as described in Section 9 of this
project agreement. In order for this project to be exempt from EO 05-05, the Section 106 Area of Potential Effect (APE) must
include all ground-disturbing activities subject to this project agreement, including the restoration staging area. The sponsor is
encouraged to work with the federal permitting agency to align the Section 106 APE with the scope of work subject to this
project agreement. If the APE does not include all ground-disturbing activities subject to this project agreement, promptly
notify the RCO grant manager, as this will require RCO to initiate cultural resources consultation following EO 05-05 for those
activities not included in the federal APE. Completion of this consultation and a Notice to Proceed from RCO will be require d
before these ground-disturbing activities can begin.
Construction Design Deliverables:
This project began with SRFB project number 02-1601 that afforded property acquisition. The feasibility study and preliminary
design was completed with funding from project number 08-1659 and final design was completed through project 11-1219.
The project will meet the standards for Design and Restoration Project Deliverables described in Manual 18 Appendix D -4
"Construction and "Design Build" Deliverables" which requires as -built design documents be provided post-construction.

Title VI - LEP, Public Participation and Affirmative Compliance Obligation. 4.
As a recipient of EPA financial assistance, you are required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to provide meaningful access to
LEP individuals. In implementing that requirement, the recipient agrees to use as a guide the Office of Civil Rights (OCR)
document entitled "Guidance to Environmental Protection Agency Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI
Prohibition Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons." The guidance can be found a t
http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-binlgetdoc.cgi?dbname=2004 register&docid=fr25jn04-79.pdf
a.
Additional Term and Condition for Agricultural Landowners - Riparian Buffer Term for Agricultural Landowners. To be eligible for NEP
implementation funding, provided directly or through a subaward, a private agricultural land owner whose property borders fresh or
estuarine waters must establish and maintain a riparian buffer on all water courses on the property consistent with the Natio nal Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) guidelines for Riparian Buffers Along Agricultural W ater Courses in NW Washington and NRCS guidance on
the NMFS guidelines. A land owner may be excluded from meeting this requirement if the funding is used solely for removal of shoreline
armoring, onsite sewage system repair or replacement, engineered dike setbacks, or culvert or tide-gate replacements that provide for
fish passage at all life stages. In some cases, the NJ\.1FS recommendations are framed in terms of ranges of buffer widths rather than
point estimates, and expressed as probabilities of achieving desired outcomes. Local conditions and local circumstances matter, and may
affect the choice of the riparian buffer most effective at achieving salmon recovery. Buffer widths may be less than specifie d in the table in
cases where there is a scientific basis for doing so and all affected tribes in the watershed agree to deviations from the NMFS guidelines
or where there are physical constraints on an individual parcel (e.g. transportation corridors, structures, naturally occurri ng.
If the recipient is administering permitting programs under this agreement, the recipient agrees to use as a guide OCR's Titl e VI

acknowledges it has an affirmative obligation to implement effective Title VI compliance programs and ensure that its actions
do not involve discriminatory treatment and do not have discriminatory effects even when facially neutral. The recipient must be
prepared to demonstrate to EPA that such compliance programs exist and are being implemented or to otherwise demonstrate
how it is meeting its Title VI obligations.

SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement with the Regional Fire Authority for 72nd Avenue
South – Authorize
SUMMARY: 72nd Avenue South currently has a missing segment between South 196th
Street, and South 200th Street. The 72nd Avenue South extension project will complete
the missing link and provide connectivity to the north end of the industrial area
between West Valley Highway and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.
The project will benefit the Regional Fire Authority (RFA) by reducing travel and
response times and allow the RFA to meet adopted levels of service to the areas north
and east of the missing roadway section. Response times will be improved to 215 land
parcels. The interlocal agreement will provide $1.2 million of RFA funding to the 72nd
Avenue South extension project.
EXHIBITS: Interlocal Agreement with the Regional Fire Authority
RECOMMENDED BY: Public Works Committee
YEA: Ralph, Fincher, Higgins NAY: N/A
BUDGET IMPACTS: The Regional Fire Authority contribution will provide matching
funds for the project. The RFA will assist with funding by making 10 annual payments
of $120,000 per year, as noted in the Interlocal Agreement.
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign an interlocal agreement with the
Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority for 72nd Avenue South
Improvements, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City
Attorney and Public Works Director.

RECITALS
1. The City annually proposes to improve various capital roadway projects that impact and
affect delivery of fire protection and emergency medical services within the jurisdiction of
the RFA. (Projects); and
2. The RFA measures Level of Service performance by travel time and depends on a network of
strategically located fire stations and well designed roadways with adequate capacity to

benefit from the completion of the unfinished segment of 72nd Ave. S.; and
4. The City has the authority to complete 72nd Ave. S. but lacks the total funding needed to
complete this project; and
5. The RFA and City can achieve cost savings and benefit the public interest by each
participating in the funding of 72nd Ave. S. to assure construction of the project, which will
improve Level of Service for City roadways and RFA emergency response;
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE in consideration of the following terms and conditions, the parties agree as
follows:
1. PURPOSE & AUTHORITY
1.1. The purpose of this agreement is to improve levels of service and achieve economies of
scale in implementing projects that benefit the citizens of both the City and the RFA.

Code of Washington ("RCW"), and are authorized to enter into Interlocal agreements on
the basis of mutual advantage and thereby to provide services and facilities in the
manner and pursuant to forms of governmental organization that will accord best with

Interlocal Agreement, City of Kent and Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority
Page 3 of 5
imposed and collected pursuant to RCW 82.02.050 and Kent City Code 12.15 “Fire
Impact Fees.” Unavailability of sufficient funding from these two sources will not
relieve the RFA from its obligation to make timely payments. The RFA agrees
irrevocably that it will include in its budget an amount that will be sufficient, together
with all revenues and money of the RFA legally available for such purpose, to pay the
amounts due to the City per the provisions in Section 7. Provided, however, if the City

February 1 of each year until paid in full.
8. PROJECT LEVEL OF SERVICE
8.1. The completed project along 72nd Avenue S. shall maintain a minimum peak-hour level

Avenue S. project fall below level of service “E” for any continuous one-year
measurement period within 10 years following construction completion, the City shall
credit the next year’s RFA principal payment to the project or refund the prior year’s
payment. Credits or refunds to the RFA shall be on a per-year basis.
9. INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS
9.1. Each party shall be liable and responsible for the consequences of any negligent or
wrongful act or failure to act on the part of itself and its employees. Neither party

discussions. This Agreement may be amended only in writing, signed by both parties.
10.3. Nothing contained herein is intended to, nor shall be construed to create any right in any
third party, or to form the basis for any liability on the part of the parties to this
Agreement, or their officials, officers, employees, agents or representative, to any third
party.

competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected thereby and
Interlocal Agreement, City of Kent and Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority
Page 4 of 5

Project. The Contractor shall also be required to waive the Contractor's immunity under
Washington's Industrial Insurance Act, RCW Title 51, as to the Other Party solely for
the purposes of the indemnification.
12. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES AND GOVERNING LAW
12.1. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Washington. If the parties are unable to settle any dispute, difference, or claim
arising from the parties' performance of this Agreement, the exclusive means of
resolving that dispute, difference, or claim, shall only be by filing suit exclusively under
the venue, rules, and jurisdiction of the King County Superior Court, King County,
Washington, unless the parties agree in writing to an alternative dispute resolution
process. In any claim or lawsuit arising from the parties' performance of this Agreement,

SUBJECT: Elder Care Facilities Code Amendment – Ordinance – Adopt
SUMMARY: At its January 25, 2016, meeting, the Land Use and Planning Board held
a public hearing, to consider code amendments to add new categories for elder care
facilities and independent senior living facilities, as well as clarifying other elder care
facility requirements.
Also, a new footnote would allow the option for elder care facilities to be located in
commercial zones without a commercial component on site, fulfilling mixed goals
through the Conditional Use Permit process by requiring proximity to certain other
amenities. The LUPB moved to approve the amendment without the requirement
regarding proximity to amenities, but after the Economic and Community
Development Committee considered both Planning Staff’s original recommendation
and the LUPB’s recommendation, the Committee voted to approve the amendments as
recommended by staff, but increasing the proximity requirement from a quarter mile
to a half mile.
EXHIBITS: Ordinance
RECOMMENDED BY: Economic and Community Development Committee
YEA: Boyce, Berrios, Budell NAY: N/A
BUDGET IMPACTS: None
MOTION: Adopt Ordinance No. amending Title 15 of the Kent City
Code to clarify and amend definitions, use tables and development to
establish new land use categories for elder care and independent senior
living facilities.
This page intentionally left blank.
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending portions of
Chapters 15.02 and 15.04 of the Kent City Code,
including adding a new Section 15.02.203;
pertaining to the definitions and development
regulations applicable to assisted living facilities
and independent senior living facilities. (DKT-2014-
5.)
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.470, the Growth Management Act (GMA)
requires that the City establish a docketing process as a means for the
public to suggest changes or identify deficiencies in City plans and
regulations. The docketing process is set forth in Section 12.02.025 of the
Kent City Code (KCC).
B. On September 2, 2014, a docket item was submitted to the City,
requesting a change in how “assisted living facilities” are defined for the
purpose of locating them in commercial areas without a mixed use
component. This was designated Docket No. DKT-2014-5. Staff
recommended that this docket item not be included in the 2015 work
program for the Economic and Community Development Department
(“Department”) at that time.
1 Amend KCC 15.02 and 15.04 -
Re: Elder Care
C. On November 10, 2014, the Economic and Community Development
Committee passed a motion accepting the staff recommendation (revised
to include DKT-2014-5 in the 2015 work program) to approve the 2014
Annual Docket Report as presented.
D. On November 18, 2014, the City Council authorized the Mayor to
accept the Economic and Community Development Committee
recommendations on the 2014 Annual Docket Report.
E. Kent has a growing population of seniors, and nationwide research
suggests that this demographic will be healthier and more mobile than
previous generations of seniors. Experts describe a trend towards senior
living in walkable urban areas with nearby amenities, while isolated
institutional-type facilities are considered less humane.
F. Current mixed use requirements in city code reflect a policy decision
that multifamily or multi-unit developments should include on-site
commercial uses.
G. On August 24, 2015, Department staff presented an overview of
current research on aging, background on types of senior living facilities,
facility design, and land use trends, to the Land Use and Planning Board
(“LUPB”) at a workshop meeting.
H. On October 12, 2015, Department staff recommended to the
Economic and Community Development Committee that the 2014 Docket
Report be amended in order to, among other things, include DKT-2014-5
in the 2015 work program. At this October 12, 2015 meeting, Department
staff further presented a two-phased project scope to the Economic and
Community Development Committee: the first phase included clarification
of “assisted living facilities” and adding flexible locational criteria; the
2 Amend KCC 15.02 and 15.04 -
Re: Elder Care
second phase included addressing broader issues about mixed use
requirements for multifamily developments and independent senior living
facilities in commercial zones. The Committee recommended approval of
this two-phased approach.
I. On October 26, 2015, the LUPB held a public hearing, during which
Department staff presented code amendment options, including new
locational criteria, to the LUPB. At the conclusion of the hearing, the LUPB
directed staff to analyze independent senior living facilities in the first
phase of the project, instead of delaying it until the second phase.
Furthermore, the LUPB Chair formed a subcommittee to tour a number of
elder care facilities to better understand the issues involved. Staff updated
the Economic and Community Development Committee on the project on
November 9, 2015.
J. On October 8, 2015, the City requested expedited review under
RCW 36.70A.106 from the Washington State Department of Commerce
regarding the City’s proposed code amendments related to development
regulations applicable to elder care facilities. The Washington State
Department of Commerce granted the request for expedited review on
October 26, 2015. No comments were received from State agencies.
K. On October 15, 2015, the City conducted and completed
environmental review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
L. On January 11, 2016, Department staff presented code amendment
options, including new definitions to more clearly distinguish different elder
care facility types to the LUPB, at a workshop meeting. The options
included locational criteria to achieve mixed use goals through proximity to
other uses, rather than requiring a mix of uses on site. After holding a
public hearing on January 25, 2016, the LUPB recommended modification
3 Amend KCC 15.02 and 15.04 -
Re: Elder Care
of the proposed code amendments, as presented by staff, to exclude
requirements to provide commercial components or nearby amenities.
M. The Economic and Community Development Committee considered
the recommendations of the LUPB at its regularly-scheduled meeting on
February 8, 2016, and recommended to the full City Council passage of the
proposed code amendments as recommended by staff with a modification
to the distance required for proximity to mix of uses.
N. At its regularly-scheduled meeting on February 16, 2016, the City
Council voted to adopt the amendments to portions of Chapters 15.02 and
15.04 of the Kent City Code, pertaining to assisted living facilities and
independent senior living facilities.

facility, line of sight may be considered to be less than 600 feet if the
applicant can demonstrate that visual barriers exist or can be created that
would reduce the line of sight to less than 600 feet. This distance shall be
measured by following a straight line, without regard to intervening
buildings, from the nearest point of the property or parcel upon which the
proposed use is to be located, to the nearest point of the parcel or
property or the land use district boundary line from which the proposed
use is to be separated. For the purpose of granting a conditional use
permit for a secure community transition facility, the hearing examiner
shall give great weight to equitable distribution so that the city shall not
be subject to a disproportionate share of similar facilities of a state-wide,
regional, or county-wide nature.
25. A designated manufactured home is a permitted use with the
following conditions:
a. A designated manufactured home must be a new
manufactured home;
b. The designated manufactured home shall be set upon a
permanent foundation, as specified by the manufacturer, and the space

or an approved concrete product that can be either load bearing or
decorative;

design standards applicable to all other single-family homes;
14 Amend KCC 15.02 and 15.04 -
Re: Elder Care
d. The designated manufactured home shall be thermally
equivalent to the State Energy Code; and
e. The designated manufactured home shall meet all other
requirements for a designated manufactured home as defined in RCW
35.63.160.
26. Multifamily dwellings shall be allowed only within the Kent
downtown districts outlined in the Downtown Subarea Action Plan and
shall be condominiums recorded pursuant to Chapter 64.32 or 64.34 RCW
or similar dwelling units with ownership interest and recorded as such
prior to approval of a certificate of occupancy by the city.
27. Within subdivisions, as defined by KCC 12.04.025, vested after
March 22, 2007, or altered to comply with zoning and subdivision code
amendments effective after March 22, 2007, 25 percent of the total
number of permitted dwelling units may be duplex or triplex townhouse
structures.
28. Live-work units; provided, that the following development standards
shall apply for live-work units, in addition to those set forth in KCC
15.04.190:
a. The unit shall contain a cooking space and sanitary facility in
conformance with applicable building standards;
b. Adequate and clearly defined working space must constitute
no less than 50 percent of the gross floor area of the live-work unit. Said
working space shall be reserved for and regularly used by one or more
persons residing there;
c. At least one resident in each live-work unit shall maintain at
all times a valid city business license for a business on the premises;
15 Amend KCC 15.02 and 15.04 -
Re: Elder Care
d. Persons who do not reside in the live-work unit may be
employed in the live-work unit when the required parking is provided;
e. Customer and client visits are allowed when the required
parking is provided;
f. No portion of a live-work unit may be separately rented or
sold as a commercial space for a person or persons not living on the
premises, or as a residential space for a person or persons not working on
the premises;
g. The multiple-family design guidelines and development
standards do not apply to live-work units;
h. Construct all nonresidential space, to the maximum allowed,
to commercial building standards; and
i. Provide an internal connection between the residential and
nonresidential space within each unit.
29. Subject to the maximum permitted density of the zoning district.
For assisted living facilities, residential facilities with health care, and
independent senior living facilities, each residential care unit is considered
one dwelling unit for purposes of density calculations.
30. Conditional use when the number of residents exceeds 20 at any
one time or more than four resident staff.
SECTION 7. – Severability. If any one or more section, subsection,
or sentence of this ordinance is held to be unconstitutional or invalid, such
decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this
ordinance and the same shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 8. – Corrections by City Clerk or Code Reviser. Upon
approval of the city attorney, the city clerk and the code reviser are
authorized to make necessary corrections to this ordinance, including the
16 Amend KCC 15.02 and 15.04 -
Re: Elder Care
correction of clerical errors; ordinance, section, or subsection numbering;
or references to other local, state, or federal laws, codes, rules, or

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending Chapter 15.04
of the Kent City Code, entitled “District
Regulations,” to add provisions for emergency
housing.
RECITALS
A. Cities throughout King County are experiencing an increasing
need for emergency housing facilities. In recent years, human service
providers have considered locating these types of facilities in downtown
Kent, but have encountered community opposition. This opposition has led
providers to request that the City expand the area of the city where these
facilities are allowed.
B. The City of Kent Comprehensive Plan acknowledges the
growing need for homeless services and contains policies to ensure that
people facing hardship have access to resources to help meet immediate
or basic needs. This plan also indicates that in seeking to help address the
challenges of Kent’s homeless residents, the City will collaborate with
churches, employers, businesses, schools, and nonprofit agencies in the
community.
C. Staff presented information regarding emergency housing to
the Land Use and Planning Board (“LUPB”) at a workshop meeting on
1 Amend KCC 15.04 -
Re: District Regulations

hearing.
D. On January 19, 2016, the City requested expedited review
under RCW 36.70A.106 from the Washington State Department of
Commerce regarding the City’s proposed amendments. The Washington
State Department of Commerce granted the request for expedited review
on February 3, 2016. No comments were received from State agencies.
E. 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
January 20, 2016.
F. On January 25, 2016, after holding a public hearing, the LUPB
made its recommendations regarding the proposed code amendments to
the City Council.
G. The Economic and Community Development Committee
considered the recommendations of the LUPB at its regularly-scheduled
meeting on February 8, 2016, and recommended to the full City Council
adoption of the proposed code amendments.
H. At its regularly scheduled meeting on February 16, 2016, the
City Council voted to adopt the amendments to portions of Chapter 15.04
of the Kent City Code, pertaining to emergency housing.

7 Amend KCC 15.04 -
Re: District Regulations
8. Accessory structures composed of at least two walls and a roof, not
including accessory uses or structures customarily appurtenant to
agricultural uses, are subject to the provisions of KCC 15.08.160.
9. Farm dwellings appurtenant to a principal agricultural use for the

Re: District Regulations
18. Other accessory uses and buildings customarily appurtenant to a
permitted use, except for onsite hazardous waste treatment and storage
facilities, which are not permitted in residential zones.
19. The following zoning is required to be in existence on the entire
property to be rezoned at the time of application for a rezone to an MR-T
zone: SR-8, MR-D, MR-G, MR-M, MR-H, NCC, CC, GC, DC, or DCE.

9 Amend KCC 15.04 -
Re: District Regulations
24. A secure community transition facility shall also comply with
applicable state siting and permitting requirements pursuant to Chapter
71.09 RCW. Secure community transition facilities are not subject to the

In no case shall a secure community transition facility be sited adjacent to,
immediately across the street or parking lot from, or within the line of
sight of risk potential activities or facilities in existence at the time a site is
listed for consideration. Within line of sight means that it is possible to
reasonably visually distinguish and recognize individuals. For the purposes
of granting a conditional use permit for siting a secure community
transition facility, the hearing examiner shall consider an unobstructed
visual distance of 600 feet to be within line of sight. During the conditional

following a straight line, without regard to intervening buildings, from the
nearest point of the property or parcel upon which the proposed use is to
be located, to the nearest point of the parcel or property or the land use
district boundary line from which the proposed use is to be separated. For
the purpose of granting a conditional use permit for a secure community
transition facility, the hearing examiner shall give great weight to equitable
distribution so that the city shall not be subject to a disproportionate share
of similar facilities of a state-wide, regional, or county-wide nature.
25. A designated manufactured home is a permitted use with the
following conditions:
a. A designated manufactured home must be a new
manufactured home;
b. The designated manufactured home shall be set upon a
permanent foundation, as specified by the manufacturer, and the space
from the bottom of the home to the ground shall be enclosed by concrete
or an approved concrete product that can be either load bearing or
decorative;
c. The designated manufactured home shall comply with all city
design standards applicable to all other single-family homes;
d. The designated manufactured home shall be thermally
equivalent to the State Energy Code; and
e. The designated manufactured home shall meet all other
requirements for a designated manufactured home as defined in RCW
35.63.160.
11 Amend KCC 15.04 -
Re: District Regulations

approval of a certificate of occupancy by the city.
27. Within subdivisions, as defined by KCC 12.04.025, vested after
March 22, 2007, or altered to comply with zoning and subdivision code
amendments effective after March 22, 2007, 25 percent of the total

a. The unit shall contain a cooking space and sanitary facility in
conformance with applicable building standards;
b. Adequate and clearly defined working space must constitute
no less than 50 percent of the gross floor area of the live-work unit. Said

persons residing there;
c. At least one resident in each live-work unit shall maintain at
all times a valid city business license for a business on the premises;
d. Persons who do not reside in the live-work unit may be
employed in the live-work unit when the required parking is provided;
12 Amend KCC 15.04 -
Re: District Regulations

the following additional conditions:
a. The emergency housing facility must be located on the same
lot as an actively-operating church or similar religious institution, and the
lot must be a minimum of two acres in size;
13 Amend KCC 15.04 -
Re: District Regulations
b. The emergency housing facility must be located within a
permanent, enclosed building;
c. The building footprint of the emergency housing facility
cannot exceed the building footprint of the church or similar religious
institution that exists on the same lot; and
d. The church or similar religious institution on the same lot as
the emergency housing facility shall be primarily liable for the operation
and maintenance of the facility itself, as well as the conduct of the
residents of the facility on and in the immediate vicinity of the lot, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, regardless of whether the organization
contracts with a third party for the provision of any services related to the
facility itself or its residents.
e. The emergency housing facility shall comply with the setbacks
and landscaping requirements for churches, as identified in 15.08.020.A.
SECTION 3. – Severability. If any one or more section, subsection,
or sentence of this ordinance is held to be unconstitutional or invalid, such
decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this
ordinance and the same shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 4. – Corrections by City Clerk or Code Reviser. Upon
approval of the city attorney, the city clerk and the code reviser are
authorized to make necessary corrections to this ordinance, including the

regulations.
SECTION 5. – Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect and
be in force 30 days from and after its passage, as provided by law.

SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending Kent City Code 13.05 – Fireworks – Adopt
SUMMARY: During the fall of 2015, Kent voters approved Advisory Proposition 1,
recommending a ban on fireworks sales and use throughout the city with the
exception of fireworks discharged pursuant to a public display permit. At the January
19, 2016, Council Workshop, Council directed staff to draft various ordinance
provisions consistent with the voter recommendation. The ordinance provisions were
considered by the Public Safety Committee on February 9, 2016, and the Committee
voted to recommend adoption of a final ordinance by the full Council.
The ordinance recommended by the Committee would result in the following:
• The discharge of consumer fireworks would be illegal in Kent beginning July 4,
2017, with the exception of discharges pursuant to a public display permit.
• A public display may be performed by any person or organization for a display
on any day of the year, if, and only if, a public display permit is obtained from
the Fire Marshal, a licensed pyrotechnician conducts the public display,
insurance is obtained, and various safety requirements are met.
• Most violations of the fireworks code will constitute an infraction (possession,
unlawful discharge, failing to clean up firework litter, property owner who
permits discharge). Major violations (reckless discharge, untruthfulness in
obtaining a public display permit, improperly storing an excessive amount of
fireworks) will constitute a gross misdemeanor.
• Those who commit an infraction may perform community service in lieu of
paying fines.

ballot, and asked the following question of the voters:
Whether the sale, possession and discharge of
consumer fireworks should be prohibited in the city

discharge of consumer fireworks would not affect

fireworks.
C. As of November 10, 2015, a majority of voters have answered
the question set forth in Advisory Proposition 1 in the affirmative.
D. In light of voter recommendation, the council repeals the

The Chief Administrative Officer’s report is intended to provide Council, staff and
community an update on the activities of the City of Kent.
ADMINISTRATION
• The City Council held its annual retreat on Friday and Saturday, February 5-6, at
Meridian Valley Country Club. Topics included strategic planning, council
roles/responsibilities, the Financial Sustainability Task Force, Sound Transit, code
enforcement, homelessness, landlord/tenant issues, and marijuana policy. The
Mayor’s Leadership Team will have a follow-up retreat in March to make sure we’re
on track to implement the council’s direction.
• Local government issues took a bit of backseat in the Legislature’s fourth week
amidst the controversy over the secretary of transportation’s ouster and the
secretary of corrections’ resignation.
• The mayor, several city councilmembers, and staff attended a neighborhood meeting
regarding Pine Tree Park on February 4 to listen to resident concerns regarding the
sale of the property.

• The Public Safety Committee discussed the council’s draft fireworks ordinance on
February 9. The ordinance will now go to full Council.

ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
• Economic Development Division
o Staff is evaluating out-of-state hotel development interest for the Naden Ave
Assemblage.
o Staff, in collaboration with public works and the urban design and civil engineering
consultants from KPG, is designing a second scope of work. Key aspects under
consideration include a street design manual for Meeker, street sections, phasing,
and charting “public points” for public input and involvement.
o Economic and community development staff and health and human services staff
met with representatives of Goodwill Industries to talk about their planned expansion
into Kent, and interest in working with Lynn Strickland of AJAC and Green River
College to bring more workforce training programs aimed at the aerospace sector
into the community.
o Staff is hosting tenant representatives of regional, small-format; premier groceries
who are interested to learn more about data the City can provide that illustrate
demand for their clients.
o Staff met with Blue Origin operations personnel to discuss their rapid expansion
plans and provide information on space-industry pertinent legislation under
consideration in Olympia.
• Planning Services Division
o The Economic and Community Development (ECD) Committee recommended a code
amendment providing flexibility in locating elder care facilities in the Community
Commercial and General Commercial mixed use zoning districts. The
recommendation would give seniors more choices to become active in their
community by ensuring that facilities are located in walking distance of relevant
amenities such as parks, schools, recreation centers, and retail.
o The ECD Committee also recommended a code amendment to provide emergency
housing in duplex multifamily zoning districts when connected to a church or other
similar religious facility. This amendment is the first step in providing permanent
facilities for the emergency housing needs of the community.
o ECD staff continues to work with public works staff, Sound Transit, WSDOT and other
jurisdictions regarding preferences for streetscape design standards, pedestrian and
bike connections, design themes, and so forth for the Kent-Highline College and S.
272nd Street light rail stations. The Sound Transit Capital Committee meets this
week to recommend funding for preliminary engineering work for the light rail
extension all the way to the Federal Way transit center.
FINANCE
• Finance continues to work with our financial advisor, bond counsel, and underwriter on
preparation for refunding two bond series, 2008A LTGO and 2008 Sales Tax Bonds
issued by the Public Facilities District (PFD). Finance provided an overview of the
potential bond refundings at the council workshop and will look for the operations
committee to give direction on whether or not the City should continue down this path
at their committee meeting on February 16. The city clerk set a special meeting for the
PFD Board to discuss the potential refunding of the PFD bonds on February 18.
• Finance has begun work in earnest on the 2017 – 2018 biennial budget process. Staff
is working with our internal services funds to develop rates for the coming
Page 3 of 7
biennium. Staff is also working on updating our budget book to meet GFOA
(Government Finance Officers Association) standards.
• The Year-End process is moving along well and we are on target for completion and
presentation of the City’s 2015 financial statements and notes to SAO (State Auditor’s
Office) in mid-April. Finance staff, along with staff from all departments, has been
working extremely hard to meet the tight timeline requirements for a successful year-
end close.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
• February Employee of the Month was our technical services team member, Marta
Gonzalez. When she started in the department, one of the first traits noticed was her
drive to understand and figure things out. If she didn’t know the answer, she would
take time and research it. Her sense of humor is so refreshing and is always bringing
smiles to the faces of everyone that she meets. Marta is always willing to help however
she can. When assigned tasks and projects, we can always count on her to have them
done as quickly as possible and with a level that reflects the pride she has in her work.
She is always striving to improve and become more efficient without sacrificing service
or quality.
LAW
• The department continues to work on code enforcement issues
o Assistant City Attorney, Victoria Robben has spent a decent amount of time on the
LEAN workshop, including revising the admonishment letter that is sent out by the
Economic and Community Development Department and preparing A-3s for
structured problem solving of other areas in the code enforcement process (options
post NOV and Final Correction Notice vs. Voluntary Correction Agreement).
o Staff advised the fire department on options for proceeding with formal code
enforcement following a breached Voluntary Correction Agreement with Ecco
Manufacturing.
o Staff corresponded with legal counsel for Sears regarding fire code violations at the
Kent warehouse and options for bringing property into compliance, including

o The 2016 Youth Basketball season is underway with over 1,100 elementary and
middle school age participants assigned to 118 teams. The program emphasizes fun,
exercise, learning new skills, sportsmanship and competition for the participants
while behind the scenes, significant coordination and administrative support is
required. In December, 118 businesses and private individuals stepped up to sponsor
every team; 175 volunteer coaches were recruited, vetted, and trained; 50 sports
officials were hired, processed, and trained; and over 225 background checks were
conducted. Over 354 hours of team practices are scheduled weekly in close to 30
school gymnasiums. Most of the 60 weekly games are scheduled on weekends at 7-
10 school sites requiring weekly scheduling of referees and gym supervisors. This
diverse and inclusive program is an excellent example of the Parks Department’s
dedication to enriching lives. It also clearly illustrates the value of our excellent 50+
year relationship with the Kent School District.
• Senior Center
o The Senior Activity Center hosted the first meeting of the Kent Iraqi Senior Group.
Organized at the suggestion of the Iraqi Community Center, this program is designed
to be an opportunity for Iraqi older adults to get out of the isolation of their homes
during the day, visit with friends, and participate in activities. It was a successful
introductory meeting with nine in attendance. Participants are already looking

Basketball program. Over the course of the eight weeks, the athletes work on
physical training, skill development, and sportsmanship in addition to multiple
opportunities for competition. The teams, led by six coaches and three volunteers,

• Significant crime activities/arrests/investigations

of a dispute between residents. No injuries. There is probable cause to arrest the
suspect and detectives are investigating.

146th and 284th on February 6. The victim knows the male adult suspects by first
names.

25700 27th Place South. The victims were pulled out of the vehicle. The case is
under investigation.
• Major emphasis patrol
o Special Operations Unit (SOU – bicycle officers) has had an increase in call volume
with a problem homeless/mental health adult female the last couple weeks and she
has been causing problems for several downtown businesses. She was arrested
twice this week. Officers then began working with the King County Mental Health
Professionals (MHP) , the city prosecutor’s office as well as the public defender’s
office (who has additional resources for the mentally ill). We were able to get the
MHP’s to evaluate her at the jail, and she was taken on a mandatory 72 hour hold.
The MHP’s were certain that she would be held on a 90-day mental health hold. Two
bike officers specializing in mental health problems will attend mental health court to
assist in this. The public defender’s office is also assisting in some possible housing
options when she is eventually released. It took a lot of work and follow through to
make this happen, but it will reduce the resources that have been spent in dealing
with her the last few weeks.
o SOU has been conducting daily walkthroughs of the Senior Center in response to
complaints about transients coming inside. This has been well received by the
seniors, and staff.
Page 6 of 7
o SOU assisted NRT (Neighborhood Response Team) with targeted patrols at Signature
Point and the Lakes area due to the residential burglaries recently. We will continue
this effort moving forward.
o Patrol and SOU have also been conducting daily extra patrols and contacting
businesses at the Great Wall shopping center in an effort to reduce vehicle prowls in
the area and develop a relationship with the community.
o Patrol and the SOU team on the East Hill have been making numerous contacts in
the area of 108th and S. 240th St. and have been assisting in cleaning up the area
near a business park in the area of 10700 S. 256th St. The businesses are pleased
with the efforts and feel safer with their comings and goings.
• School issues
o Commander Kasner met with both school officials and a prosecutor from King County
Juvenile. We now getting support from the prosecutor to better deal with the select
problem individuals that impact the KM/McDonalds area and instigate problems.
• Events and awards
o Officers Ferguson and Birkhofer responded to a CPR in progress call. When they
arrived, the deceased’s son was performing CPR. Officer Ferguson took over the CPR
while Officer Birkhofer administered the AED while waiting for Kent Fire to arrive.
The female was eventually pronounced dead due to severe health issues. Since the
patient did not recover this does not qualify for a lifesaving award, however, Officers
Ferguson and Birkhofer did an outstanding job in immediately taking over
resuscitation efforts and ensuring the family was taken care of. They represented
KPD very well.
