Subject: Kent Comprehensive Plan and Amendments to Kent City Code Chapter
12.13 Re School Impact Fees
SUMMARY: This public hearing will consider amendment of the Capital Facilities
Element of the Kent Comprehensive Plan to incorporate the updated Capital Facilities
Plans of the Auburn, Federal Way, Highline and Kent School Districts. These plans
propose to also amend school impact fees outlined in Kent City Code Chapter 12.13.
Kent City Code requires the School Districts to submit their updated Plans annually
for Council review and consideration. The City Council holds the public hearing on
the school district plans at the same time as the public hearing for the budget, i.e.,
October 18, 2016.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND: One of the planning goals under the Growth Management Act
(RCW 36.70A.020) is to ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to
support development are adequate and timely to serve the development without
decreasing current service levels below minimum standards. The Act (RCW
36.70A.070) requires the Capital Facilities Element of the Kent Comprehensive Plan
to inventory existing capital facilities, forecast future needs and provide for financing
of those facilities. RCW 82.02.050 authorizes cities planning under the Growth
Management Act to impose impact fees on development activity as part of the
financing for public facilities needed to serve new growth and development. As a
result, KCC 12.13.080 and 090 provide for imposition of school impact fees on
behalf of any school district which provides to the City a capital facilities plan; the
plan is adopted by reference as part of the Capital Facilities Element of the Kent
Comprehensive Plan. The school districts are required to submit for annual Council
review their updated capital facility plans (KCC 12.13.060 & 070).
The Auburn, Federal Way, Highline and Kent School Districts submitted their
2016/17 – 2021/22 Capital Facilities Plans and are requesting amendments of the
Kent Comprehensive Plan and Kent City Code Chapter 12.13 to reflect changes to
impact fees resulting from new student population generated by new single family
and multifamily residential development. The plans include an inventory of existing
facilities, existing facility needs, expected future facility requirements, expected
funding, and calculation of the impact fees according to the formula set forth in KCC
12.13.140.
MOTION: None at this time. This issue will be decided concurrently with
adoption of the 2017-18 Biennial Budget.
Kent Comprehensive Plan and Kent City Code Chapter 12.13 Amendments,
School District Capital Facilities Plans-Impact Fees
10/18/16 City Council Meeting
Page 2 of 2
The Auburn, Kent, Federal Way and Highline School Districts propose amendment of
the Kent Comprehensive Plan and Kent City Code Chapter 12.13 to reflect changes
to impact fees resulting from new student population generated by new single family
and multifamily residential development. The plans include an inventory of existing
facilities, existing facility needs, expected future facility requirements, and expected
funding.
The Kent School District proposes to increase their existing school impact fees for
single family units from $4,990 to $5,100 (an increase of $110 or 2.2%) and
increase their fees for multifamily units from $2,163 to $2,210 (an increase of $47
or 2.2%).
The Federal Way School District proposes to increase their existing school impact
fees for single family units from $2,899 to $3,198 (an increase of $299 or 10.3%)
and increase their fees for multifamily units from $506 to $8,386 (an increase of
$7,880 or 1,557.3%).
The Auburn School District proposes to increase their existing school impact fees for
single family units from $5,330.88 to $5,469.37 (an increase of $138.49 or 2.6%)
and decrease their fees for multifamily units from $2,625.01 to $1,639.70 (a
decrease of $985.31 or 37.5%). The only area in Kent where Auburn School
District’s impact fees are applied is the Verdana or Bridges Planned Unit
Development on the former impoundment reservoir site.
The Highline School District proposes to decrease their existing school impact fees
for single family units from $8,229 to $7,528 (a decrease of $701 or 8.5%) and
decrease their fees for multifamily units from $7,453 to $6,691(a decrease of $762
or 10.2%). The Highline School District covers the northern section of the Midway
Subarea.
Included with this memo are comparison tables among the four school districts,
historical data on the school impact fees and a list of impact fee expenditures for
each of the school districts except Highline which did not have any Kent
development that would have incurred impact fees.

Capital Facilities Plan
2016 through 2022
Section I
Executive Summary

Auburn School District No. 408
CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
2016 through 2022
I. Executive Summary
This six-year Capital Facilities Plan (the “Plan”) has been prepared by the Auburn
School District (the “District”) as the District’s principal planning document, in compliance
with the requirements of Washington’s Growth Management Act and the adopted
ordinances of the counties and cities served by the District. This Plan was prepared
using data available in the spring of 2016.
This Plan is consistent with prior long-term capital facilities plans adopted by the District.
However, this Plan is not intended to be the sole plan for all of the District’s needs. The
District may prepare interim and periodic long-range Capital Facilities Plans consistent
with Board Policies and actions, taking into account a longer or a shorter time period;
other factors and trends in the use of facilities; and other needs of the District as may be
required. However, any such plan or plans will be consistent with this six-year Capital
Facilities Plan.
To enable the collection of impact fees in the unincorporated areas of King County and
within the City of Auburn and City of Kent; the King County Council, the City of Auburn
and the City of Kent will adopt this Plan by reference as part of each jurisdiction’s
respective comprehensive plan. To enable the collection of impact fees in the Cities of
Algona, Pacific, and Black Diamond, these municipalities must also adopt this Plan and
adopt school impact fee ordinances.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Growth Management Act and the local ordinances,
this Plan will be updated on an annual basis, and any changes in the fee schedule(s)
adjusted accordingly.
The Plan establishes the District’s “standard of service” in order to ascertain the District’s
current and future capacity. While the State Superintendent of Public Instruction
establishes square footage guidelines for capacity, those guidelines do not account for
the local program needs of the District. The Growth Management Act and the school
impact fee ordinance authorize the District to define its standard of service based on the
District’s specific needs. In general, the District’s current standard provides that class
size for grades K-2 should not exceed 24 students and 18.23 students for our ten
schools designated as serving high poverty areas; class size for grades 3-4 should not
exceed 26 students; class size for grade 5 should not exceed 29 students. When
averaged over the six elementary grades, this computes to 23.8 students per classroom.
Class size for grades 6-12 should not exceed 30 students, with some subject areas
restricted to lesser numbers. Decisions by current legislative actions may create the
need for additional classrooms. (See Section III for more specific information.)
The capacity of the schools in the District is calculated based on this standard of service
and the existing inventory of facilities including transitional classrooms. The District’s
2015-16 capacity was 14,578. The actual number of individual students was 15,663 as
of October 1, 2015. (See Section V for more specific information.)

The Capital Construction Plan shown in Section VI addresses the additions and
proposed modernization to the District’s existing facilities. The plan includes the
replacement of five elementary schools and one middle school, construction of two new
elementary schools, and acquisition of future school sites to accommodate growth. The
new facilities are required to meet the projected elementary school class size reductions
mandated by the State of Washington and student population increases generated by
the large development areas within the Auburn School District. Three areas that have
significant impact on the school district are the Lakeland South, Lea Hill, and north
Auburn valley areas of the district. There are other pockets of development that impact
the District as well.
The District completed a comprehensive review of all district facilities in October 2008.
A Steering Committee made recommendations to the Board for capital improvements to
existing facilities and replacement of seven schools over the next ten years. These
recommendations led to a capital improvements levy and a bond issue that was placed
on the ballot in March 2009. Both ballot measures were unsuccessful in March. The
Board determined to rerun only the capital improvements levy in November 2009, which
the voters approved. In the fall of 2011, the Board determined to move forward with the
Auburn High School Modernization and Reconstruction Project and placed the project
before the voters in February of 2012. The bond issue was supported by the community
at nearly 57% approval rate, but was short of the super majority requirement of 60%. In
March of 2012, the Board determined to rerun the bond in November of 2012. In
November 2012, the bond passed at 62% and construction for the Auburn High School
Modernization and Reconstruction Project began on February 25, 2013. Phases 1 and 2
of the three phase project have been completed and the entire new building area was
occupied by Auburn High School students and staff in the fall of 2015. Site work
included in Phase 3 will be completed during the summer of 2016.
The School Impact Fee Ordinances adopted by King County, the City of Auburn and the
City of Kent provide for the assessment of impact fees to assist in meeting some of the
fiscal impacts incurred by a district experiencing growth and development. Section VII
sets forth the proposed school impact fees for single family and multi-family dwelling
units. The student generation factors have been developed using the students who
actually attend school in the Auburn School District from single family and multi-family
developments constructed in the last five years. There have been dramatic changes in
the student generation factors for single and multi-family in the past four years. The
District plans to carefully monitor the numbers over the next several years to determine if
this is a trend or an anomaly. The method of collecting the data is with the use of GIS
mapping software, data from King County and Pierce County GIS, and integration of the
mapping with student data from the District’s student data system. This method gives
the District actual student generation numbers for each grade span for identified
developments. This data is contained in Appendix A.3.

Auburn School District No. 408
CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
2016 through 2022
STANDARD OF SERVICE
The School Impact Fee Ordinances adopted by King County, the City of Auburn and the City of Kent indicate
that each school district must establish a "Standard of Service" in order to ascertain the overall capacity to house
its projected student population. The Superintendent of Public Instruction establishes square footage
"capacity" guidelines for computing state funding support. The fundamental purpose of the SPI guidelines
is to provide a vehicle to equitably distribute state matching funds for school construction projects. By default
these guidelines have been used to benchmark the district's capacity to house its student population. The SPI
guidelines do not make adequate provision for local district program needs, facility configurations, emerging
educational reform, or the dynamics of each student's educational program. The Auburn School District Standard
of Service addresses those local considerations that require space in excess of the SPI guidelines. The effect
on the space requirements for both permanent and relocatable facilities is shown below for each grade articulation
pattern. Conditions that may result in potential space needs are provided for information purposes without
accompanying computations.
OVERVIEW
The Auburn School District operates fourteen elementary schools housing 7,340 students in grades
K through 5. The four middle schools house 3,351 students in grades 6 through 8. The District operates
three comprehensive senior high schools and one alternative high school, housing 4,972 students in
grades 9 through 12.
CLASS SIZE
The number of pupils per classroom determines the number of classrooms required to house the
student population. Specialists create additional space needs. Class sizes are subject to collective
bargaining agreements. Changes to class size agreements can have significant impact on available space.
The current pupil/teacher limit across all elementary programs is an average of 23.8 students per
teacher. Consistent with this staffing limit, room capacities are set at 23.8 students per room at grades

Table IV.1 shows the current inventory of permanent district facilities and their OSPI rated capacities.
Table IV.2 shows the number and location of each portable unit by school. The district uses relocatable
facilities to:
1. provide interim housing in school attendance areas uniquely impacted by increasing school
populations that would otherwise require continual redistricting,
2. make space available for changing program requirements and offerings determined by unique
student needs, and
3. provide housing to cover district needs until permanent facilities can be financed and constructed.
Relocatable facilities are deemed to be interim, stop gap measures that often place undesirable stress on
existing physical plants. Core facilities (i.e. gymnasiums, restrooms, kitchens, labs, lockers, libraries, etc.) are
not of sufficient size or quantity to handle the increased school population served by adding relocatable
classrooms.

PUPIL CAPACITY
While the Auburn School District uses the SPI inventory of permanent facilities as the data from
which to determine space needs, the District's educational program requires more space than that
provided for under the formula. This additional square footage is converted to numbers of pupils in
Section III, Standard of Service. The District's capacity is adjusted to reflect the need for additional
space to house its programs. Changes in the capacity of the district recognize new unfunded
facilities. The combined effect of these adjustments is shown on Line B in Tables V.1 and V.2 below.

published in the document titled 'Guidelines for Development.' In 1985 the Board formed a second
Ad Hoc citizens committee to further the work of the first and address the needs of the District for
subsequent years. The work of this committee was published in the document titled 'Directions for
the Nineties.' In 1995 the Board commissioned a third Ad Hoc citizens committee to make
recommendations for improvements to the District's programs and physical facilities. The committee
recommendations are published in the document titled 'Education Into The Twenty-First Century - -
A Community Involved.'
The 1995 Ad Hoc committee recommended the District develop plans for the implementation,
funding, and deployment of technology throughout the District's programs. The 1996 Bond
proposition provided funding to enhance the capacity of each facility to accommodate technological
applications. The 1998 Capital Levy provided funding to further deploy technology at a level
sufficient to support program requirements in every classroom and department. In 2005 and 2014,
replacement technology levies were approved to continue to support technology across all facets of
the District’s teaching, learning and operations.
In addition to the technology needs of the District, the Ad Hoc committee recognized the District
must prepare for continued student enrollment growth. As stated in their report, "the District must
pursue an appropriate high school site as soon as possible." The Ad Hoc recommendation included
commentary that the financing should be timed to maintain consistent rates of tax assessments.
A proposition was approved by the voters on April 28, 1998 that provided $8,000,000 over six years
to address some of the technology needs of the District; and $5,000,000 to provide funds to acquire
school sites.
During the 1997-98 school year, a Joint District Citizen's Ad Hoc Committee was appointed by the
Auburn and Dieringer School Boards to make recommendations on how best to serve the school
population from an area that includes a large development known as Lakeland South. Lakeland
South at that time was immediately adjacent to the southern boundary of the Auburn School District.
On June 16, 1998, the Ad Hoc Committee presented its recommendation at a joint meeting of the
Auburn and Dieringer Boards of Directors. On June 22, 1998, the Auburn School Board adopted
Resolution No. 933 authorizing the process to initiate the adjustment of the boundaries of the District
in accordance with the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendation. On June 23, 1998, the Dieringer
School Board adopted a companion Resolution No. 24-97-98 authorizing the process to initiate the
adjustment of the boundaries in accordance with the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendation. These
actions resulted in the transfer of an area from Dieringer to Auburn containing most of the Lakeland
South development and certain other undeveloped properties.
Property for the third comprehensive high school was acquired in 1999. The Board placed the
proposition to construction a new high school on the ballot four times. Each election was extremely
close to passing. After the fourth failure a community meeting was held and from that meeting the
Board determined need for further community study.
In April of 2002, the Board formed a fifth citizen's Ad Hoc committee to address the following two
items and make recommendations to the Board in the Fall of 2002:
a. A review of the conclusion and recommendations of 1985 and 1995 Ad Hoc Committees
related to accommodating high school enrollment growth. This included the review of
possible financing plans for new facilities.
b. Develop recommendations for accommodating high school enrollment growth for the next 10
years if a new senior high school is not built.

This committee recommended the Board place the high school on the ballot for the fifth time in
February 2003. The February election approved the new high school at 68.71% yes votes. The
school opened in the fall of 2005.
In the fall of 2003, the Board directed the administration to begin the planning and design for
Elementary #13 and Elementary #14. In the fall of 2004, the Board passed Resolution No. 1054 to
place two elementary schools on the ballot in February 2005. The voters approved the ballot
measure in February of 2005 at 64.72%. Lakeland Hills Elementary (Elementary #13) opened in the
fall of 2006. Arthur Jacobsen Elementary (Elementary #14) is located in the Lea Hill area and
opened in the fall of 2007. These two elementary schools were built to accommodate the housing
growth in Lakeland Hills and Lea Hill areas of the school district.
In the 2004-05 school year, the Board convened a sixth Citizen’s Ad Hoc committee to again study
and make recommendations about the future impacts in the District. One of the areas of study was
the need for New Facilities and Modernization. The committee made a number of recommendations
including school size, the need for a new middle school, and to begin a capital improvements
program to modernize or replace facilities based upon criterion.
During the 2005-06 school year, a Joint District Citizen's Ad Hoc Committee was appointed by the
Auburn and Kent School Boards to make recommendations on how best to serve the school
population that will come from an area that includes a number of projected developments in the
north Auburn valley. On May 17, 2006, the Ad Hoc Committee presented its recommendation at a
joint meeting of the Auburn and Kent Boards of Directors. On June 14, 2006, the Kent School Board
adopted Resolution No. 1225 authorizing the process to initiate the adjustment of the boundaries of
the District in accordance with the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendation. On June 26, 2006, the
Auburn School Board adopted a companion Resolution No. 1073 authorizing the process to initiate
the adjustment of the boundaries in accordance with the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendation.
These actions resulted in the transfer of an area from the Kent School District to the Auburn School
District effective September 29, 2006.
In October of 2008, after two years of review and study, a Steering Committee made
recommendations to the Board regarding the capital improvements program to modernize or replace
facilities as recommended by the 2004-05 Citizen’s Ad Hoc Committee. These recommendations,
based on specific criteria, led to the Board placing a school improvement bond and capital
improvements levy on the ballot in March 2009. Voters did not approve either measure that would
have updated 24 facilities and replaced three aging schools. The Board decided to place only a six-
year Capital Levy on the ballot in November of 2009, which passed at 55.17%. The levy funded
$46.4 million of needed improvement projects at 24 sites over the following seven school years.
Planning for the replacement of aging schools was started with educational specifications and
schematic design process for the replacement of Auburn High School.
The District acquired a site for a future high school in 2008 and a second site for a future middle
school in 2009. The District also continued efforts to acquire property around Auburn High School.
The Special Education Transition Facility opened in February of 2010. This facility is designed for
students with disabilities that are 18 to 21 years old.
In the November 2012 election, the community supported the $110 million bond issue for the Auburn
High School Modernization and Reconstruction Project at 62%. Construction began in February
2013. The entire new building was occupied by Auburn High School students and staff in the fall of
2015, with site improvements being completed during the 2015/16 school year.

In January 2015, a citizen’s ad hoc committee was convened by direction of the Board to address
growth and facilities. The major recommendations were to construct two new elementary schools in
the next four years and to acquire 3 new elementary school sites as soon as possible.
Within the six-year period, the District is projecting 2,889 additional students. This increase in
student population along with anticipated class-size reductions, will require the construction of two
new elementary schools and acquiring three new elementary school sites during the six-year
window.
The table below illustrates the current capital construction plan for the next six years. The exact
timelines are wholly dependent on the rate of growth in the school age population and passage of
bond issues and/or capital improvement levies.

Student Enrollment Projections
October 2015
Introduction
The projective techniques give some consideration to historical and current data as a basis for
forecasting the future. In addition, the ‘projector’ must make certain assumptions about the operant
variables within the data being used. These assumptions are “judgmental” by definition. Forecasting
can be defined as the extrapolation or logical extension from history to the future, or from the known
to the unknown. The attached tabular data reviews the history of student enrollment, sets out some
quantitative assumptions, and provides projections based on these numerical factors.
The projection logic does not attempt to weigh the individual sociological, psychological, economic,
and political factors that are present in any demographic analysis and projection. The logic embraces
the assumptions that whatever these individual factors have been in the past are present today, and will
be in the future. It further moderates the impact of singular factors by averaging data over thirteen
years and six years respectively. The results provide a trend, which reflects a long (13-year) and a short
(6-year) base from which to extrapolate.
Two methods of estimating the number of kindergarten students have been used. The first uses the
average increase or decrease over the past 13 and 6-year time frame and adds it to each succeeding
year. The second derives what the average percentage Auburn kindergartners have been of live births
in King County for the past 5 years and uses this to project the subsequent four years.
The degree to which the actuals deviate from the projections can only be measured after the fact.
This deviation provides a point of departure to evaluate the effectiveness of the assumptions and logic
being used to calculate future projections. Monitoring deviation is critical to the viability and
credibility of the projections derived by these techniques.
Tables
Table 1 – Thirteen Year History of October 1 Enrollments – page 3
The data shown in this table is the baseline information used to project future enrollment. This data
shows the past record of enrollment in the district on October 1 of each year.
Table 2 – Historical Factors Used in Projections - page 4
This table shows the three basic factors derived from the data in Table 1. These factors have been
used in the subsequent projections. The three factors are:
Factor 1 – Average Pupil Change Between Grade Levels
This factor is sometimes referred to as the “holding power” or “cohort survival.” It is a
measure of the number of pupils gained or lost as they move from one grade level to the
next.
Factor 2 - Average Pupil Change by Grade Level
This factor is the average change at each grade level over the 13 or 6-year period.
Factor 3 – Auburn School District Kindergarten Enrollment as a Function of King
County Live Births.
This factor calculates what percent each kindergarten class was of the King County live
births in the five previous years. From this information has been extrapolated the
kindergarten pupils expected for the next four years.

Table 3 – Projection Models – pages 5-13
This set of tables utilizes the above mentioned variables and generates several projections. The
models are explained briefly below.
Table 3.13 (pg 5) – shows a projection based on the 13-year average gain in kindergarten
(Factor 2) and the 13-year average change between grade levels (Factor 1). The data is
shown for the district as a whole.
Table 3.6 (pg 5) – shows a projection using the same scheme as Table 3.13 except it
shortens the historical data to only the most recent 6 years.
Table 3.13A and 3.6A (pg 6) – uses the same factors above except Factor 3 is substituted
for Factor 2. The kindergarten rates are derived from the King County live births instead
of the average gain.
Tables 3E.13, 3E.6, 3E.13A, 3E.6A (pg 7) – breaks out the K-5 grades from the district
projection. Summary level data is provided for percentage gain and pupil gain by grade
articulation.
Tables 3MS.13, 3MS.6, 3MS.13A, 3MS.6A (pg 8) – breaks out the 6-8 grades from the
district projection. Summary level data is provided for percentage gain and pupil gain by
grade articulation.
Tables 3SH.13, 3SH.6, 3SH.13A, 3SH.6A (pg 9) – breaks out the 9-12 grades from the
district projection. Summary level data is provided for percentage gain and pupil gain by
grade articulation.
Table 4 (pg 10) – Collects the four projection models by grade group for ease of
comparison.
Table 5 (pgs 11-13) – shows how well each projection model performed when compared
with actual enrollments. Data is provided in both number and percent formats for the
past 13 years.
Summary
This year is the fourth consecutive year of an increase in enrollment after three consecutive years of
declining enrollment. The increase of 386 students changes our historical average gain/loss in
students. Over the past 6 years the average gain is now 1.20% annually, which equates to an average
annual gain of 179 students.
Using the cohort survival models, the data below is a summary of the range of variation between the
four models. This data can be used for planning for future needs of the district.
The models show changes in the next six years:
Elementary level show increases ranging from 780 to 1,133. (page 7)
Middle School level show increases ranging from 747 to 750. (page 8)
High School level show increases ranging from 579 to 628. (page 9)
The models show these changes looking forward thirteen years:
Elementary level show increases ranging from 1,746 to 2,712. (page 7)
Middle School level show increases ranging from 1,112 to 1,388. (page 8)
High School level show increases ranging from 1,007 to 1,556. (page 9)
This data does not factor new developments that are currently under construction or in the planning
stages.

INTRODUCTION
In response to the requirements of the State of Washington Growth Management Act
(SHB) 2929 (1990) and ESHB 1025 (1991)), and under the School Impact Fee
Ordinances of King County Code 21A, City of Federal Way Ordinance No. 95-249
effective December 21, 1995 as amended, City of Kent Ordinance No.3260 effective
March 1996, and the City of Auburn Ordinance No. 5078 effective 1998, Federal Way
Public Schools has updated its 2017 Capital Facilities Plan as of May 2016.
This Plan is scheduled for adoption by King County, the City of Kent, City of Federal Way
and the City of Auburn and is incorporated in the Comprehensive Plans of each jurisdiction
by reference. This plan is also included in the Facilities Plan element of the Comprehensive
Plans of each jurisdiction. To date, the City of Des Moines has not adopted a school impact
fee ordinance. The City of Des Moines collects school impact fees as part of the SEPA
process.
The Growth Management Act requires the County to designate Urban Growth areas within
which urban growth can be encouraged. The Growth Management Planning Council
adopted and recommended to the King County Council four Urban Growth Area Line
Maps with designations for urban centers. A designation was made within the Federal Way
planning area, which encompasses Federal Way Public Schools boundaries. King County
will encourage and actively support the development of Urban Centers to meet the region’s
need for housing, jobs, services, culture, and recreation. This Plan’s estimated population
growth is prepared with this underlying assumption.
This Capital Facilities Plan will be used as documentation for any jurisdiction, which
requires its use to meet the needs of the Growth Management Act. This plan is not
intended to be the sole planning tool for all of the District needs. The District may
prepare interim plans consistent with Board policies or management need.
Currently, construction is underway to replace Federal Way High School and to increase
capacity by approximately 200 students. Federal Way High School was built in 1938.
The estimated cost to rebuild Federal Way High School is $106 million. The District
began Phase I in Summer 2014. Phase I consists of site work and preparation for the
portable village that will house students during the construction of the new building.
Phase II, demolition of the existing classrooms and rebuild, began in January 2015. The
existing cafeteria, gymnasium, and kitchen will continue to be in use during construction.
The newly constructed building is scheduled for use beginning in the 2016-17 school
year. Phase III, demolition of the cafeteria, gymnasium, and kitchen, and construction of
athletic fields, will begin this summer and is expected to be completed by Fall 2017.
The District continues to monitor factors that may have an impact on enrollment and
capacity at our schools. In accordance with the McCleary decision, the State continues to
phase in funding based on a reduction of K-3 class size to 17 and 4-12 class size to 25.
Initiative Measure No. 1351 would further reduce these class sizes in schools where more
than 50% of students were eligible for free and reduced-price meals in the prior year.
Under this measure, class sizes in those schools would be reduced to 15 in grades K-3, 22
in grade 4, and 23 in grades 5-12. The additional class size reductions required by
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2017 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
3
Initiative 1351 would increase our classroom need from 60 to 120 at our Elementary &
K-8 schools and add a need for an additional 26 classrooms at our Secondary schools.
The 2015 Legislature provided $200 million in competitive grant capital funds to help
school districts achieve progress towards class size reduction and all-day kindergarten
goals. As a condition of grant application, districts were required to certify and count and
usage of all K-3 classrooms and other teaching stations. This certification process
demonstrated a District need for 60 additional K-3 classrooms. The District applied for
and has been awarded a grant amount, yet to be determined, to add additional K-3
capacity.
We will also continue to study school boundaries as new housing and fluctuating
populations impact specific schools. Some shifts in boundaries may be required in the
coming years. The maps included in this Plan reflect our current boundaries.

SECTION 2 - MAPS OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
Federal Way Public Schools has twenty-one elementary schools (grades K-5), two schools
with a K-8 grade configuration, seven middle school schools (grades 6-8), four high
schools (grades 9-12) and three small secondary schools. The Federal Way Public
Academy serves students in grades 6-10. The TAF Academy serves students in grades 6-
12 who reside in the Totem Middle School service area. The programs at Career Academy
at Truman High School serves students in grades 9-12.
The following maps show the service area boundaries for each school, by school type.
(Career Academy at Truman High School and Federal Way Public Academy serve students
from throughout the District). The identified boundaries are reviewed annually. Any
change in grade configuration or adoption of programs that affect school populations may
necessitate a change in school service areas.
The Growth Management Act requires that a jurisdiction evaluate if the public facility
infrastructure is in place to handle new housing developments. In the case of most public
facilities, new development has its major impact on the facilities immediately adjacent to
that development. School Districts are different. If the District does not have permanent
facilities available, interim measures must be taken until new facilities can be built or
until boundaries can be adjusted to match the population changes to the surrounding
facilities.
Adjusting boundaries requires careful consideration by the District and is not taken lightly.
It is recognized that there is a potential impact on students who are required to change
schools. Boundary adjustments impact the whole district, not just one school.
It is important to realize that a single housing development does not require the
construction of a complete school facility. School districts are required to project growth
throughout the district and build or adjust boundaries based on growth throughout the
district, not just around a single development.

Building Capacities
This Capital Facilities Plan establishes the District’s “standard of service” in order to
ascertain the District’s current and future capacity. The Superintendent of Public
Instruction establishes square footage guidelines for capacity, but these guidelines do not
take into consideration the education program needs.
In general, the District’s current target class size provides that the average class size for a
standard classroom for grades K through 3 should be 17 students to comply with McCleary.
In grades 4-5 the target is 25 students. For grades 6 to 12 the target class size is 26 students.
Classrooms for students with Individualized Education Program (Special Education) needs
are calculated at 12 seats per classroom.
Historically, the District has used the OSPI square footage calculation as a baseline for
capacity calculation and made adjustments for specific program needs. The District will
continue to use this calculation for determining capacity at our middle and high schools.
However, with the implementation of McCleary which requires a significant reduction in
K-3 class sizes, elementary capacity, in this Plan, will be calculated based on the number
of classroom spaces, the number of students assigned to each classroom and the extent of
support facilities available for students, staff, parents, and the community.

Music Rooms:
Each elementary school requires a standard classroom for music instruction.
Special Education Resource Rooms:
Each elementary and middle school requires the use of a standard classroom(s) for
special education students requiring instruction to address specific disabilities.
English as a Second Language Programs:
Each elementary, middle school and high school requires the use of a standard classroom
for students learning English as a second language.

Middle School Computer Labs:
Each middle school has computer labs, except Totem Middle School. Wireless access
has been installed at all secondary schools. If additional classroom space is needed, these
computer labs may be converted to mobile carts.
High School Career Development and Learning Center (Resource) Room:
Each high school provides special education resource room and career development
classrooms for students requiring instruction to address specific disabilities.
Preschool/ECEAP/Headstart:
Our district currently offers preschool programs for both special needs & typically
developing students at 8 elementary schools. We also have the ECEAP and Headstart
program at 6 schools (4 elementary & 3 high schools). These programs decrease capacity
at those sites.
Alternative Learning Experience:
Federal Way offers students the opportunity to participate in an Alternative Learning
Experience through our Internet Academy. These students have never been included in
the capacity calculation of unhoused students.

Portable Locations
The Washington State Constitution requires the State to provide each student a basic
education. It is not an efficient use of District resources to build a school with a capacity
for 500 students due to lack of space for 25 students when enrollment fluctuates throughout
the year and from year to year.
Portables are used as temporary facilities or interim measures to house students when
increasing population impacts a school attendance area. Portables may also be required to
house students when new or changing programs require additional capacity. They also
provide temporary housing for students until permanent facilities can be financed and
constructed. When permanent facilities become available, the portable(s) is either used for
other purposes such as storage or child care programs, or moved to another school for an
interim classroom. Some portables may not be fit to move due to age or physical condition.
In these cases, the District may choose to buy new portables and surplus these unfit
portables. It is the practice and philosophy of Federal Way Public Schools that portables
are not acceptable as permanent facilities.
The District is investigating alternatives to portables. We are currently in the planning
phase of designing buildings that would require shorter construction time and provide
permanent classroom space for our students. These buildings may replace the need for
portables in the future.
The following page provides a list of the location of the portable facilities, used for
temporary educational facilities by Federal Way Public Schools.

Student Forecast
Student enrollment projections are a basic component of budget development.
Enrollment projections influence many of the financial estimates that go into budget
preparation. The majority of staffing requirements are derived directly from the
forecasted number of students. Allocations for instructional supplies and materials are
also made on the basis of projected enrollment. Other expenditures and certain revenue
projections are directly related to enrollment projections.
Enrollment projections are completed annually in the Business Services Department.
Projections must be detailed at various levels, district total, school-building totals, grade
level and program level to include vocational and special education students.
The basis of projections has been cohort survival analysis. Cohort survival is the analysis
of a group that has a common statistical value (grade level) as it progresses through time.
In a stable population the cohort would be 1.00 for all grades. This analysis uses
historical information to develop averages and project the averages forward. This
method does not trace individual students; it is concerned with aggregate numbers in each
grade level. The district has used this method with varying years of history and weighted
factors to study several projections. Because transfers in and out of the school system are
common, student migration is factored into the analysis as it increases or decreases
survival rates. Entry grades (kindergarten) are a unique problem in cohort analysis. The
district collects information on birth rates within the district’s census tracts, and treats
these statistics as a cohort for kindergarten enrollment in the appropriate years.
The Federal Way School District is using various statistical methods for projecting
student enrollments. The resultant forecasted enrollments are evaluated below.
The first method is a statistical cohort analysis that produces ten distinct forecasts. These
are forecast of enrollment for one year. The projections vary depending on the number of
years of historical information and how they are weighted.
A second method is a projection using an enrollment projection software package that
allows the user to project independently at school or grade level and to aggregate these
projections for the district level. The Enrollment MasterTM software provides statistical
methods including trend line, standard grade progression (cohort) and combinations of
these methods. This software produces a five-year projection of school enrollment.
In December 2012, the District contracted a demographer to develop projections for the
Federal Way School District. The report was complete in March 2013. The model used
to forecast next year’s enrollment uses cohort survival rates to measure grade to grade
growth, assumes market share losses to private schools (consistent with county-wide
average), assumes growth from new housing or losses due to net losses from migration.
This forecast was provided as a range of three projections. The long-range forecast
provided with this report used a model with cohort survival rates and growth rates based
on projected changes in the 5-19 age group for King County. Most of the methods used
for long range enrollment reporting assume that enrollment is a constant percent of
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2017 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
21
something else (e.g. population) or that enrollment will mirror some projected trend for
the school-age population over time. The report included 5 different calculations to
provide a range of possible projections for the District to the year 2023. This model
produces a projection that is between 23,000 and 24,000 when applied to the low,
medium and high range modes. This provides a reasonable range for long-range planning
and is consistent with estimates from various models.
Long-range projections that establish the need for facilities are a modification of the
cohort survival method. The cohort method of analysis becomes less reliable the farther
out the projections are made. The Federal Way School District long-range projections
are studied annually. The study includes information from the jurisdictional
demographers as they project future housing and population in the region. The long-range
projections used by Federal Way Public Schools reflect a similar age trend in student
populations as the projections published by the Office of Financial Management for the
State of Washington.
Near term projections assume some growth from new housing, which is offset by current
local economic conditions. The District tracks new development from five permitting
jurisdictions. Currently there are three new multi-family complexes planned within the
District. These three complexes have a total of 819 units. Two of the three developments
opened and occupied during the 2015-16 school year. The third development, which will
have about 300 units, is scheduled to be ready for occupancy during the 2016-17 school
year. Long range planning assumes a student yield from proposed new housing
consistent with historical growth patterns.
Growth Management requires jurisdictions to plan for a minimum of twenty years. The
Federal Way School District is a partner in this planning with the various jurisdictions
comprising the school district geography. These projections create a vision of the school
district community in the future.

Capacity Summaries
All Grades, Elementary, Middle School, and High Schools
The Capacity Summaries combine Building Capacity information, Portable Capacity
information and the Student Forecast information. The result demonstrates the
requirements for new or remodeled facilities and why there is a need for the District to use
temporary facilities or interim measures.
The District has recently adjusted its capacity calculation method for Elementary schools
to better show capacity needed to comply with the K-3 Class Size Reduction. This
adjustment is also shown in the portable capacity calculation. In order to allow for
flexibility in portable usage the District will use an average class size calculation of 21 for
each Elementary portable and an average class size of 25 for each Middle and High School
portable.
The information is organized in spreadsheet format, with a page summarizing the entire
District, and then evaluating capacity vs. number of students at elementary, middle school,
and high school levels individually.
The notes at the bottom of each spreadsheet provide information about what facilities are
in place each year.

King County, the City of Federal Way, and the City of Kent Impact Fee Calculations
Single and Multi-Family Residences
Each jurisdiction that imposes school impact fees requires that developers pay these fees
to help cover a share of the impact of new housing developments on school facilities.
To determine an equitable fee throughout unincorporated King County, a formula was
established. This formula can be found in King County Code 21A and was substantially
adopted by the City of Federal Way and Kent. The formula requires the District to establish
a "Student Generation Factor" which estimates how many students will be added to a
school district by each new single or multi-family unit and to gather some standard
construction costs, which are unique to that district.
- STUDENT GENERATION FACTOR ANALYSIS
Federal Way Public Schools student generation factor was determined separately for
single-family units and multi-family units. The factors used in the 2017 Capital Facilities
Plan were derived using actual generation factors from single-family units and multi-family
units that were constructed in the District in the last five (5) years
- IMPACT FEE CALCULATION
Following the calculations for the student generation factor is a copy of the Impact Fee
Calculation for single family and multi-family units based on King County Code 21A and
the Growth Management Act.
Temporary Facility Cost is the average cost of a portable purchased within the last 5
years.

SECTION 4
SUMMARY OF CHANGES FROM THE 2016 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
The 2017 Capital Facilities Plan is an updated document, based on the 2016 Capital
Facilities Plan. The changes between the 2016 Plan and the 2017 Plan are listed below.
SECTION I - THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
SIX-YEAR FINANCE PLAN
The Six Year Finance Plan has been rolled forward to reflect 2017-2023 and adjusted for
anticipated Federal Way High School construction schedule. The plan is found on page 9.
SECTION III - SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION
CAPACITY
Changes to the Building Program Capacities calculation are found on page 17.
PORTABLES
The list of portables reflects the movement of portables between facilities or new portables
purchased. Portable Locations can be found on page 18.9
STUDENT FORECAST
The Student Forecast now covers 2017 through 2023 Enrollment history and projections
are found on page 22.
CAPACITY SUMMARY
The changes in the Capacity Summary are a reflection of the changes in the capacities and
student forecast. New schools and increased capacity at current buildings are shown as
increases to capacity. Capacity Summaries are found on pages 24-27.
IMPACT FEE CALCULATION - KING COUNTY CODE 21A
The Impact Fee Calculations have changed due to changes in several factors. The
adjustment made in the Impact Fee Calculation, causing a change in the Impact Fee
between the 2016 Capital Facilities Plan and the 2017 Capital Facilities Plan can be found
on page 32 and 33.
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2017 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
32
IMPACT FEE CALCULATION CHANGES FROM 2016 TO 2017
STUDENT GENERATION FACTORS
Student Generation factors are based on rates for new developments constructed over a
period of not more than five years prior to the date of the fee calculation. The changes in
student Generation factors between the 2016 Capital Facilities Plan and the 2017 Capital
Facilities Plan are due to developments that were deleted or added based upon the age of
the developments and the year placed in the survey. The Student Generation worksheet
is found on page 29.
SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION COSTS
The anticipated cost based on 2013 estimate for replacing Federal Way High is
$106,000,000. The replacement will add 200 additional seats. The current capacity of
Federal Way High is 1538. The addition of 200 seats will increase capacity by 13%.
Total Cost $106,000,000 x .13 = $13,780,000
SCHOOL ACQUISITION COSTS
The district purchased the Norman Center to house the Employment Transition Program
and to allow for the expansion of the ECEAP program. The purchase and use of this site
increased our high school capacity by 51 students.
Total Cost $2,100,000 / 2 = $1,050,000
Cost per Acre $1,050,000 / 4.85 = $216,718
The District will use the above formulas created as a base for the 2017 Capital Facilities
Plan. The capacity of Federal Way High may vary from year to year as programs are
added or changed and construction cost may increase over time.

SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) May 2014 Page 1 of 20
SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Purpose of checklist: Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization
or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental
impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
Instructions for applicants: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please
answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult
with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or
"does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown.
You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate
answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-
making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant
adverse impact.
Instructions for Lead Agencies:
Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to
evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse
impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to
make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is
responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: [help]
For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable
parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please
completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or
site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead
agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements –that do not
contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

D. supplemental sheet for nonproject actions [help]
(IT IS NOT NECESSARY to use this sheet for project actions) Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction
with the list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of
activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or
at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in
general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; pro-
duction, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
To the extent the Capital Facilities Plan makes it more likely that school facilities will be constructed
and/or renovated and remodeled, some of these environmental impacts will be more likely. Additional
impermeable surfaces, such as roofs, parking lots, sidewalks, access roads, and playgrounds could
increase storm water runoff, which could enter surface or ground waters. Heating systems, emergency
generators, and other school equipment that is installed pursuant to the Capital Facilities Plan could result
in air emissions. The projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan should not require the production,
storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances, with the possible exception of the storage of diesel
fuel or gasoline for emergency generating equipment. The District does not anticipate a significant
increase in the production of noise from its facilities, although the projects included in the Capital Facilities
Plan will increase the District's student capacities.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
Proposed measures to mitigate any such increases described above have been or will be addressed
during project-specific environmental review when appropriate. Storm water detention and runoff will
meet applicable County and/or City requirements and may be subject to National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System ("NPDES") permitting requirements. Discharges to air will meet applicable air
pollution control requirements. Fuel oil will be stored in accordance with local and state requirements.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The Capital Facilities Plan itself will have no impact on these elements of the environment. These impacts
have been or will be addressed in more detail during project-specific environmental review when
appropriate. The projects included in the Plan are not likely to generate severe impacts on fish or marine
life.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
Specific measures to protect and conserve plants, animals, and fish cannot be identified at this time.
Specific mitigation proposals have been or will be identified, however, during project-specific
environmental review when appropriate.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) May 2014 Page 19 of 20
The construction of the projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan will require the consumption of
energy.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
The projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan will be constructed in accordance with applicable
energy efficiency standards.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or
areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks,
wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or
cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
The Capital Facilities Plan and individual projects contained therein should have no impact on these
resources.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
Appropriate measures have been or will be proposed during project-specific environmental review when
appropriate. Updates of this Plan will be coordinated with King County and the cities of Federal Way,
Kent, Des Moines, and Auburn as part of the Growth Management Act process, one of the purposes of
which is to protect environmentally sensitive areas. To the extent the District's facilities planning process
is part of the overall growth management planning process, these resources are more likely to be
protected.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it
would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
The Capital Facilities Plan will not have any impact on land or shoreline use that is incompatible with
existing comprehensive plans, land use codes, or shoreline management plans. The District does not
anticipate that the Capital Facilities Plan or the projects contained therein will directly affect land and
shoreline uses in the area served by the District.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
No measures to avoid or reduce land use impacts resulting from the Capital Facilities Plan or the projects
contained therein are proposed at this time.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities?
The projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan may create temporary increases in the District's need
for public services and utilities. Upon the completion of the projects included in the Capital Facilities Plan,
however, the District does not anticipate that its need for public services and utilities will increase
substantially beyond existing levels.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
No measures to reduce or respond to such demands are proposed at this time.
SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197-11-960) May 2014 Page 20 of 20
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or
requirements for the protection of the environment.
The Capital Facilities Plan will not conflict with any laws or requirements for the protection of the
environment.

RCW 36.70A.070
Comprehensive plans—Mandatory elements. (Effective until September 1, 2016.)
The comprehensive plan of a county or city that is required or chooses to plan under
RCW 36.70A.040 shall consist of a map or maps, and descriptive text covering objectives,
principles, and standards used to develop the comprehensive plan. The plan shall be an
internally consistent document and all elements shall be consistent with the future land use
map. A comprehensive plan shall be adopted and amended with public participation as
provided in RCW 36.70A.140.
Each comprehensive plan shall include a plan, scheme, or design for each of the
following:
(1) A land use element designating the proposed general distribution and general
location and extent of the uses of land, where appropriate, for agriculture, timber
production, housing, commerce, industry, recreation, open spaces, general aviation airports,
public utilities, public facilities, and other land uses. The land use element shall include
population densities, building intensities, and estimates of future population growth. The
land use element shall provide for protection of the quality and quantity of groundwater
used for public water supplies. Wherever possible, the land use element should consider
utilizing urban planning approaches that promote physical activity. Where applicable, the
land use element shall review drainage, flooding, and storm water run-off in the area and
nearby jurisdictions and provide guidance for corrective actions to mitigate or cleanse those
discharges that pollute waters of the state, including Puget Sound or waters entering Puget
Sound.
(2) A housing element ensuring the vitality and character of established residential
neighborhoods that: (a) Includes an inventory and analysis of existing and projected
housing needs that identifies the number of housing units necessary to manage projected
growth; (b) includes a statement of goals, policies, objectives, and mandatory provisions for
the preservation, improvement, and development of housing, including single-family
residences; (c) identifies sufficient land for housing, including, but not limited to,
government-assisted housing, housing for low-income families, manufactured housing,
multifamily housing, and group homes and foster care facilities; and (d) makes adequate
provisions for existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community.
(3) A capital facilities plan element consisting of: (a) An inventory of existing capital
facilities owned by public entities, showing the locations and capacities of the capital
facilities; (b) a forecast of the future needs for such capital facilities; (c) the proposed
locations and capacities of expanded or new capital facilities; (d) at least a six-year plan
that will finance such capital facilities within projected funding capacities and clearly
identifies sources of public money for such purposes; and (e) a requirement to reassess the
land use element if probable funding falls short of meeting existing needs and to ensure that
the land use element, capital facilities plan element, and financing plan within the capital
facilities plan element are coordinated and consistent. Park and recreation facilities shall be
included in the capital facilities plan element.
(4) A utilities element consisting of the general location, proposed location, and capacity
of all existing and proposed utilities, including, but not limited to, electrical lines,
telecommunication lines, and natural gas lines.
(5) Rural element. Counties shall include a rural element including lands that are not
designated for urban growth, agriculture, forest, or mineral resources. The following
provisions shall apply to the rural element:
(a) Growth management act goals and local circumstances. Because circumstances vary
from county to county, in establishing patterns of rural densities and uses, a county may
consider local circumstances, but shall develop a written record explaining how the rural
element harmonizes the planning goals in RCW 36.70A.020 and meets the requirements of
this chapter.
(b) Rural development. The rural element shall permit rural development, forestry, and
agriculture in rural areas. The rural element shall provide for a variety of rural densities,
uses, essential public facilities, and rural governmental services needed to serve the
permitted densities and uses. To achieve a variety of rural densities and uses, counties may
provide for clustering, density transfer, design guidelines, conservation easements, and
other innovative techniques that will accommodate appropriate rural densities and uses that
are not characterized by urban growth and that are consistent with rural character.
(c) Measures governing rural development. The rural element shall include measures
that apply to rural development and protect the rural character of the area, as established
by the county, by:
(i) Containing or otherwise controlling rural development;
(ii) Assuring visual compatibility of rural development with the surrounding rural area;
(iii) Reducing the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-
density development in the rural area;
(iv) Protecting critical areas, as provided in RCW 36.70A.060, and surface water and
groundwater resources; and
(v) Protecting against conflicts with the use of agricultural, forest, and mineral resource
lands designated under RCW 36.70A.170.
(d) Limited areas of more intensive rural development. Subject to the requirements of
this subsection and except as otherwise specifically provided in this subsection (5)(d), the
rural element may allow for limited areas of more intensive rural development, including
necessary public facilities and public services to serve the limited area as follows:
(i) Rural development consisting of the infill, development, or redevelopment of existing
commercial, industrial, residential, or mixed-use areas, whether characterized as shoreline
development, villages, hamlets, rural activity centers, or crossroads developments.
(A) A commercial, industrial, residential, shoreline, or mixed-use area shall be subject to
the requirements of (d)(iv) of this subsection, but shall not be subject to the requirements
of (c)(ii) and (iii) of this subsection.
(B) Any development or redevelopment other than an industrial area or an industrial use
within a mixed-use area or an industrial area under this subsection (5)(d)(i) must be
principally designed to serve the existing and projected rural population.
(C) Any development or redevelopment in terms of building size, scale, use, or intensity
shall be consistent with the character of the existing areas. Development and
redevelopment may include changes in use from vacant land or a previously existing use so
long as the new use conforms to the requirements of this subsection (5);
(ii) The intensification of development on lots containing, or new development of, small-
scale recreational or tourist uses, including commercial facilities to serve those recreational
or tourist uses, that rely on a rural location and setting, but that do not include new
residential development. A small-scale recreation or tourist use is not required to be
principally designed to serve the existing and projected rural population. Public services and
public facilities shall be limited to those necessary to serve the recreation or tourist use and
shall be provided in a manner that does not permit low-density sprawl;
(iii) The intensification of development on lots containing isolated nonresidential uses or
new development of isolated cottage industries and isolated small-scale businesses that are
not principally designed to serve the existing and projected rural population and
nonresidential uses, but do provide job opportunities for rural residents. Rural counties may
allow the expansion of small-scale businesses as long as those small-scale businesses
conform with the rural character of the area as defined by the local government according
to RCW 36.70A.030(15). Rural counties may also allow new small-scale businesses to utilize
a site previously occupied by an existing business as long as the new small-scale business
conforms to the rural character of the area as defined by the local government according to
RCW 36.70A.030(15). Public services and public facilities shall be limited to those necessary
to serve the isolated nonresidential use and shall be provided in a manner that does not
permit low-density sprawl;
(iv) A county shall adopt measures to minimize and contain the existing areas or uses of
more intensive rural development, as appropriate, authorized under this subsection. Lands
included in such existing areas or uses shall not extend beyond the logical outer boundary
of the existing area or use, thereby allowing a new pattern of low-density sprawl. Existing
areas are those that are clearly identifiable and contained and where there is a logical
boundary delineated predominately by the built environment, but that may also include
undeveloped lands if limited as provided in this subsection. The county shall establish the
logical outer boundary of an area of more intensive rural development. In establishing the
logical outer boundary, the county shall address (A) the need to preserve the character of
existing natural neighborhoods and communities, (B) physical boundaries, such as bodies of
water, streets and highways, and land forms and contours, (C) the prevention of abnormally
irregular boundaries, and (D) the ability to provide public facilities and public services in a
manner that does not permit low-density sprawl;
(v) For purposes of (d) of this subsection, an existing area or existing use is one that
was in existence:
(A) On July 1, 1990, in a county that was initially required to plan under all of the
provisions of this chapter;
(B) On the date the county adopted a resolution under RCW 36.70A.040(2), in a county
that is planning under all of the provisions of this chapter under RCW 36.70A.040(2); or
(C) On the date the office of financial management certifies the county's population as
provided in RCW 36.70A.040(5), in a county that is planning under all of the provisions of
this chapter pursuant to RCW 36.70A.040(5).
(e) Exception. This subsection shall not be interpreted to permit in the rural area a
major industrial development or a master planned resort unless otherwise specifically
permitted under RCW 36.70A.360 and 36.70A.365.
(6) A transportation element that implements, and is consistent with, the land use
element.
(a) The transportation element shall include the following subelements:
(i) Land use assumptions used in estimating travel;
(ii) Estimated traffic impacts to state-owned transportation facilities resulting from land
use assumptions to assist the department of transportation in monitoring the performance
of state facilities, to plan improvements for the facilities, and to assess the impact of land-
use decisions on state-owned transportation facilities;
(iii) Facilities and services needs, including:
(A) An inventory of air, water, and ground transportation facilities and services,
including transit alignments and general aviation airport facilities, to define existing capital
facilities and travel levels as a basis for future planning. This inventory must include state-
owned transportation facilities within the city or county's jurisdictional boundaries;
(B) Level of service standards for all locally owned arterials and transit routes to serve
as a gauge to judge performance of the system. These standards should be regionally
coordinated;
(C) For state-owned transportation facilities, level of service standards for highways, as
prescribed in chapters 47.06 and 47.80 RCW, to gauge the performance of the system. The
purposes of reflecting level of service standards for state highways in the local
comprehensive plan are to monitor the performance of the system, to evaluate
improvement strategies, and to facilitate coordination between the county's or city's six-
year street, road, or transit program and the office of financial management's ten-year
investment program. The concurrency requirements of (b) of this subsection do not apply to
transportation facilities and services of statewide significance except for counties consisting
of islands whose only connection to the mainland are state highways or ferry routes. In
these island counties, state highways and ferry route capacity must be a factor in meeting
the concurrency requirements in (b) of this subsection;
(D) Specific actions and requirements for bringing into compliance locally owned
transportation facilities or services that are below an established level of service standard;
(E) Forecasts of traffic for at least ten years based on the adopted land use plan to
provide information on the location, timing, and capacity needs of future growth;
(F) Identification of state and local system needs to meet current and future demands.
Identified needs on state-owned transportation facilities must be consistent with the
statewide multimodal transportation plan required under chapter 47.06 RCW;
(iv) Finance, including:
(A) An analysis of funding capability to judge needs against probable funding resources;
(B) A multiyear financing plan based on the needs identified in the comprehensive plan,
the appropriate parts of which shall serve as the basis for the six-year street, road, or
transit program required by RCW 35.77.010 for cities, RCW 36.81.121 for counties, and
RCW 35.58.2795 for public transportation systems. The multiyear financing plan should be
coordinated with the ten-year investment program developed by the office of financial
management as required by RCW 47.05.030;
(C) If probable funding falls short of meeting identified needs, a discussion of how
additional funding will be raised, or how land use assumptions will be reassessed to ensure
that level of service standards will be met;
(v) Intergovernmental coordination efforts, including an assessment of the impacts of
the transportation plan and land use assumptions on the transportation systems of adjacent
jurisdictions;
(vi) Demand-management strategies;
(vii) Pedestrian and bicycle component to include collaborative efforts to identify and
designate planned improvements for pedestrian and bicycle facilities and corridors that
address and encourage enhanced community access and promote healthy lifestyles.
(b) After adoption of the comprehensive plan by jurisdictions required to plan or who
choose to plan under RCW 36.70A.040, local jurisdictions must adopt and enforce
ordinances which prohibit development approval if the development causes the level of
service on a locally owned transportation facility to decline below the standards adopted in
the transportation element of the comprehensive plan, unless transportation improvements
or strategies to accommodate the impacts of development are made concurrent with the
development. These strategies may include increased public transportation service, ride-
sharing programs, demand management, and other transportation systems management
strategies. For the purposes of this subsection (6), "concurrent with the development"
means that improvements or strategies are in place at the time of development, or that a
financial commitment is in place to complete the improvements or strategies within six
years.
(c) The transportation element described in this subsection (6), the six-year plans
required by RCW 35.77.010 for cities, RCW 36.81.121 for counties, and RCW 35.58.2795 for
public transportation systems, and the ten-year investment program required by
RCW 47.05.030 for the state, must be consistent.
(7) An economic development element establishing local goals, policies, objectives, and
provisions for economic growth and vitality and a high quality of life. The element shall
include: (a) A summary of the local economy such as population, employment, payroll,
sectors, businesses, sales, and other information as appropriate; (b) a summary of the
strengths and weaknesses of the local economy defined as the commercial and industrial
sectors and supporting factors such as land use, transportation, utilities, education,
workforce, housing, and natural/cultural resources; and (c) an identification of policies,
programs, and projects to foster economic growth and development and to address future
needs. A city that has chosen to be a residential community is exempt from the economic
development element requirement of this subsection.
(8) A park and recreation element that implements, and is consistent with, the capital
facilities plan element as it relates to park and recreation facilities. The element shall
include: (a) Estimates of park and recreation demand for at least a ten-year period; (b) an
evaluation of facilities and service needs; and (c) an evaluation of intergovernmental
coordination opportunities to provide regional approaches for meeting park and recreational
demand.
(9) It is the intent that new or amended elements required after January 1, 2002, be
adopted concurrent with the scheduled update provided in RCW 36.70A.130. Requirements
to incorporate any such new or amended elements shall be null and void until funds
sufficient to cover applicable local government costs are appropriated and distributed by the
state at least two years before local government must update comprehensive plans as
required in RCW 36.70A.130.
RCW 82.02.050
Impact fees—Intent—Limitations. (Effective September 1, 2016.)
(1) It is the intent of the legislature:
(a) To ensure that adequate facilities are available to serve new growth and development;
(b) To promote orderly growth and development by establishing standards by which
counties, cities, and towns may require, by ordinance, that new growth and development pay a
proportionate share of the cost of new facilities needed to serve new growth and development;
and
(c) To ensure that impact fees are imposed through established procedures and criteria so that
specific developments do not pay arbitrary fees or duplicative fees for the same impact.
(2) Counties, cities, and towns that are required or choose to plan under RCW 36.70A.040
are authorized to impose impact fees on development activity as part of the financing for public
facilities, provided that the financing for system improvements to serve new development must
provide for a balance between impact fees and other sources of public funds and cannot rely
solely on impact fees.
(3)(a)(i) Counties, cities, and towns collecting impact fees must, by September 1, 2016, adopt
and maintain a system for the deferred collection of impact fees for single-family detached and
attached residential construction. The deferral system must include a process by which an
applicant for a building permit for a single-family detached or attached residence may request a
deferral of the full impact fee payment. The deferral system offered by a county, city, or town
under this subsection (3) must include one or more of the following options:
(A) Deferring collection of the impact fee payment until final inspection;
(B) Deferring collection of the impact fee payment until certificate of occupancy or
equivalent certification; or
(C) Deferring collection of the impact fee payment until the time of closing of the first sale of
the property occurring after the issuance of the applicable building permit.
(ii) Counties, cities, and towns utilizing the deferral process required by this subsection (3)(a)
may withhold certification of final inspection, certificate of occupancy, or equivalent
certification until the impact fees have been paid in full.
(iii) The amount of impact fees that may be deferred under this subsection (3) must be
determined by the fees in effect at the time the applicant applies for a deferral.
(iv) Unless an agreement to the contrary is reached between the buyer and seller, the payment
of impact fees due at closing of a sale must be made from the seller's proceeds. In the absence of
an agreement to the contrary, the seller bears strict liability for the payment of the impact fees.
(b) The term of an impact fee deferral under this subsection (3) may not exceed eighteen
months from the date of building permit issuance.
(c) Except as may otherwise be authorized in accordance with (f) of this subsection (3), an
applicant seeking a deferral under this subsection (3) must grant and record a deferred impact fee
lien against the property in favor of the county, city, or town in the amount of the deferred
impact fee. The deferred impact fee lien, which must include the legal description, tax account
number, and address of the property, must also be:
(i) In a form approved by the county, city, or town;
(ii) Signed by all owners of the property, with all signatures acknowledged as required for a
deed, and recorded in the county where the property is located;
(iii) Binding on all successors in title after the recordation; and
(iv) Junior and subordinate to one mortgage for the purpose of construction upon the same
real property granted by the person who applied for the deferral of impact fees.
(d)(i) If impact fees are not paid in accordance with a deferral authorized by this subsection
(3), and in accordance with the term provisions established in (b) of this subsection (3), the
county, city, or town may institute foreclosure proceedings in accordance with chapter 61.12
RCW.
(ii) If the county, city, or town does not institute foreclosure proceedings for unpaid school
impact fees within forty-five days after receiving notice from a school district requesting that it
do so, the district may institute foreclosure proceedings with respect to the unpaid impact fees.
(e)(i) Upon receipt of final payment of all deferred impact fees for a property, the county,
city, or town must execute a release of deferred impact fee lien for the property. The property
owner at the time of the release, at his or her expense, is responsible for recording the lien
release.
(ii) The extinguishment of a deferred impact fee lien by the foreclosure of a lien having
priority does not affect the obligation to pay the impact fees as a condition of final inspection,
certificate of occupancy, or equivalent certification, or at the time of closing of the first sale.
(f) A county, city, or town with an impact fee deferral process on or before April 1, 2015, is
exempt from the requirements of this subsection (3) if the deferral process delays all impact fees
and remains in effect after September 1, 2016.
(g)(i) Each applicant for a single-family residential construction permit, in accordance with
his or her contractor registration number or other unique identification number, is entitled to
annually receive deferrals under this subsection (3) for the first twenty single-family residential
construction building permits per county, city, or town. A county, city, or town, however, may
elect, by ordinance, to defer more than twenty single-family residential construction building
permits for an applicant. If the county, city, or town collects impact fees on behalf of one or
more school districts for which the collection of impact fees could be delayed, the county, city,
or town must consult with the district or districts about the additional deferrals. A county, city, or
town considering additional deferrals must give substantial weight to recommendations of each
applicable school district regarding the number of additional deferrals. If the county, city, or
town disagrees with the recommendations of one or more school districts, the county, city, or
town must provide the district or districts with a written rationale for its decision.
(ii) For purposes of this subsection (3)(g), an "applicant" includes an entity that controls the
applicant, is controlled by the applicant, or is under common control with the applicant.
(h) Counties, cities, and towns may collect reasonable administrative fees to implement this
subsection (3) from permit applicants who are seeking to delay the payment of impact fees under
this subsection (3).
(i) In accordance with RCW 44.28.812 and 43.31.980, counties, cities, and towns must
cooperate with and provide requested data, materials, and assistance to the department of
commerce and the joint legislative audit and review committee.
(4) The impact fees:
(a) Shall only be imposed for system improvements that are reasonably related to the new
development;
(b) Shall not exceed a proportionate share of the costs of system improvements that are
reasonably related to the new development; and
(c) Shall be used for system improvements that will reasonably benefit the new development.
(5)(a) Impact fees may be collected and spent only for the public facilities defined in
RCW 82.02.090 which are addressed by a capital facilities plan element of a comprehensive land
use plan adopted pursuant to the provisions of RCW 36.70A.070 or the provisions for
comprehensive plan adoption contained in chapter 36.70, 35.63, or 35A.63 RCW. After the date
a county, city, or town is required to adopt its development regulations under chapter 36.70A
RCW, continued authorization to collect and expend impact fees is contingent on the county,
city, or town adopting or revising a comprehensive plan in compliance with RCW 36.70A.070,
and on the capital facilities plan identifying:
(i) Deficiencies in public facilities serving existing development and the means by which
existing deficiencies will be eliminated within a reasonable period of time;
(ii) Additional demands placed on existing public facilities by new development; and
(iii) Additional public facility improvements required to serve new development.
(b) If the capital facilities plan of the county, city, or town is complete other than for the
inclusion of those elements which are the responsibility of a special district, the county, city, or
town may impose impact fees to address those public facility needs for which the county, city, or
town is responsible.
Kent City Code
12.13.060 Submission of district capital facilities plan and data.
A. On an annual basis, the district shall submit the following materials to the city council:
1. The district’s capital facilities plan (as defined in KCC 12.13.010 herein) and
adopted by the school board;
2. The district’s enrollment projections over the next six (6) years, its current
enrollment and the district’s enrollment projections and actual enrollment from
the previous year;
3. The district’s standard of service;
4. The district’s overall capacity over the next six (6) years, which shall take
into account the available capacity from school facilities planned by the district
but not yet built and be a function of the district’s standard of service as
measured by the number of students which can be housed in district facilities;
5. An inventory of the district’s existing facilities.
B. To the extent that the district’s standard of service identifies a deficiency in its existing
facilities, the district’s capital facilities plan must identify the sources of funding other than
impact fees, for building or acquiring the necessary facilities to serve the existing student
population in order to eliminate the deficiencies within a reasonable period of time.
C. Facilities to meet future demand shall be designed to meet the adopted standard of
service. If sufficient funding is not projected to be available to fully fund a capital facilities
plan which meets the adopted standard of service, the district’s capital facilities plan should
document the reason for the funding gap, and identify all sources of funding that the district
plans to use to meet the adopted standard of service.
D. The district shall also submit an annual report to the city council showing the capital
improvements which were serviced in whole or in part by the impact fees.
E. In its development of the financing plan component of the capital facilities plan, the
district shall plan on a six (6) year horizon and shall demonstrate its best efforts by taking
the following steps:
1. Establish a six (6) year financing plan, and propose the necessary bond
issues and levies required by and consistent with that plan and as-approved by
the school board consistent with RCW 28A.53.020, 84.52.052 and 84.52.056 as
amended; and
2. Apply to the state for funding, and comply with the state requirements for
eligibility to the best of the district’s ability.
(Ord. No. 3260, § 1, 12-19-95)
12.13.070 Annual council review.
On at least an annual basis, the city council shall review the information submitted by the
district pursuant to KCC 12.13.060(A) herein. The review shall occur in conjunction with any
update of the capital facilities plan element of the city’s comprehensive plan.
(Ord. No. 3260, § 1, 12-19-95)
12.13.080 Impact fee program elements.
A. Impact fees will be assessed on every new dwelling unit in the district for which a fee
schedule has been established.
B. Impact fees will be imposed on a district by district basis, on behalf of any school district
which provides to the city a capital facilities plan, the district’s standards of service for the
various grade spans, estimates of the cost of providing needed facilities and other capital
improvements, and the data from the district called for by the formula in KCC 12.13.140.
Any impact fee imposed shall be reasonably related to the impact caused by the
development, and shall not exceed a proportionate share of the cost of system
improvements that are reasonably related to the development. The impact fee formula shall
account in the fee calculation for future revenue the district will receive from the
development. The ordinance adopting the fee schedule shall specify under what
circumstances the fee may be adjusted in the interests of fairness.
C. The impact fee shall be based on the capital facilities plan developed by the district and
approved by the school board, and adopted by reference by the city as part of the capital
facilities element of the comprehensive plan for the purpose of establishing the fee program.
(Ord. No. 3260, § 1, 12-19-95)
12.13.090 Fee calculations.
A. The fee shall be calculated based on the formula set out in KCC 12.13.140.
B. Separate fees shall be calculated for single-family and multifamily types of dwelling units,
and separate student generation rates must be determined by the district for each type of
dwelling unit. For the purpose of this chapter, mobile homes shall be treated as single-
family dwellings and duplexes shall be treated as multifamily dwellings.
C. The fee shall be calculated on a district-wide basis using the appropriate factors and data
to be supplied by the district, as indicated in KCC 12.13.140. The fee calculations shall also
be made on a district-wide basis to assure maximum utilization of all school facilities in the
district used currently or within the last two (2) years for instructional purposes.
D. The formula in KCC 12.13.140 provides a credit for the anticipated tax contributions that
would be made by the developments based on historical levels of voter support for bond
issues in the district.
E. The formula also provides for a credit for school facilities or sites actually provided by a
developer which the district finds acceptable.
F. The city may also impose an application fee to cover the reasonable costs of
administration of the impact fee program.
(Ord. No. 3260, § 1, 12-19-95)
Kent City Code
12.13.140 Formula for determining school impact fees.
A. School impact fees shall be determined as follows:
IF:
A = Student factor for dwelling unit type and grade span x site cost per student for sites for
facilities in that grade span = Full cost fee for site acquisition cost
B = Student factor for dwelling unit type and grade span x school construction cost per
student for facilities in that grade span x ratio of district’s square footage of permanent
facilities to total square footage of facilities = Full cost fee for school construction
C = Student factor for dwelling unit type and grade span x relocatable facilities cost per
student for facilities in that grade span x ratio of district’s square footage of relocatable
facilities to total square footage of facilities = Full cost fee for relocatable facilities
D = Student factor for dwelling unit type and grade span “Boeckh Index” x SPI square ft per
student factor x state match % = State match credit, and
A1, B1, C1, D1 = A, B, C, D for elementary grade spans
A2, B2, C2, D2 = A, B, C, D, for middle/junior high grade spans
A3, B3, C3, D3 = A, B, C, D for high school grade spans
TC = Tax payment credit = The net present value of the average assessed value in the
district for unit type x current school district capital property tax levy rate, using a ten (10)
year discount period and current interest rate (based on the bond buyer twenty (20) bond
general obligation bond index)
FC = Facilities credit = the per-dwelling-unit value of any site or facilities provided directly
by the development
Then the unfunded need = UN = A1 + . . . + C3 (D1-D2-D3) – TC
And the developer fee obligation = F = U/N2
And the net fee obligation = NF = F – FC
B. Notes to formula.
1. Student factors are to be provided by the district based on district records of
average actual student generation rates for new developments constructed
over a period of not more than five (5) years prior to the date of the fee
calculation; if such information is not available in the district, data from
adjacent districts, districts with similar demographics, or countywide averages
must be used. Student factors must be separately determined for single-family
and multifamily dwelling units, and for grade spans.
2. The “Boeckh index” is a construction trade index of construction costs for
various kinds of buildings; it is adjusted annually.
3. The district is to provide its own site and facilities standards and projected
costs to be used in the formula, consistent with the requirements of this
chapter.
4. The formula can be applied by using the following table:
Table for Calculating School Impact Fee Obligations for Residential Dwelling Units
(to be separately calculated for single-family and multifamily units)
A1= Elementary school site cost per student x the student factor =
A2= Middle/junior high site cost per student x the student factor =
A3= High school site cost per student x the student factor =
A= A1 + A2 + A3 =
B1= Elementary school construction cost per student x the student factor =

B= (B1 + B2 + B3) x square footage of permanent facilities
total square footage of facilities
=
C1= Elementary school relocatable facility cost per student x the student factor =
C2= Middle/junior high relocatable facility cost per student x the student factor =
C3= High school relocatable facility cost per student x the student factor =
C= (C1 + C2 + C3) x square footage of permanent facilities
total square footage of facilities
=
D1= Boeckh index x SPI square footage per student for elementary school x state

=
D2= Boeckh index x SPI square footage per student for middle/junior high school
x state match % x student factor
=
D3= Boeckh index x SPI square footage per student for high school x state match

Kent City Council Workshop Minutes
July 19, 2016
The workshop meeting was called to order at 5:16 p.m. by Council President Boyce.
Councilmembers present: Berrios, Boyce, Budell, Fincher, Higgins, and Ralph.
King County Assessor – John A. Wilson King County Assessor had three things to put
on the table: 1) Senior Exemption Program; 2) Affordable Housing; 3) Modernize Tax
System. Reach out to people 61 and older with an income of $40,000 or less with a
sliding scale exemption. Seniors who find taxes tough, many seniors even though they
own their own homes find paying the taxes tough, some of the property taxes are now
as much as they originally paid for the home mortgage. Look at how we can preserve
older apartment buildings, can homes with basements be finished as alternative
affordable housing, perhaps offer tax incentives to people who rent out rooms or
basements. There was discussion on how Kent is doing, we are in good shape we are
unique, there is a 1% cap on property tax, increases altered by Legislation index to
inflation would reduce the threshold of Junior and smaller taxing groups.
Councilmembers questioned incentives for affordable housing, make better place to
live. Senior exemption for taxes, City provide outreach programs to identify eligible
seniors.
Naden Avenue Properties Surplus Consideration – The 7.5 acres made up of 19
parcels had been part of a potential aquatic park in 2006. In 2008 the project was set
aside, pursuing Morrow Meadows Park in cooperation with the YMCA, since that time
the property has been sitting as it is today. Propose a Resolution to Council under the
new Surplus Property Policy. The process to begin building on the site is anticipated at
2-5 years, possible buildings of medical/hospitality. There was much discussion with
residents if the city is interested in buying other properties around this location.
Meeting adjourned at 6:20 p.m.

B. Mayor. – Mayor Cooke discusses a memo that she sent to Council regarding her
stance on the ordinance regarding medical marijuana patient cooperatives. In sum,
she allowed the ordinance to go through without her signature as opposed to vetoing
it. This is because the City has a permissive zoning code, so if a use is not allowed it is
prohibited. Patient cooperatives are a newly established land use created by State
legislature and does not appear in City code as a regulated land use. The Council will
discuss both medical and recreational marijuana in the coming year, and what Kent’s
position will be in the future.

Agenda Item: Consent Calendar – 7C_
TO: City Council
DATE: October 18, 2016
SUBJECT: Ordinance Revising Enforcement Provisions of Illicit Discharge Code –
Authorize
SUMMARY: The City of Kent has codified its regulations concerning prohibited
discharges into the City’s storm system in Chapter 7.14 of the Kent City Code.
Included within this chapter is KCC 7.14.150, which provides the remedies
available to the City should a prohibited discharge occur.
Currently, KCC 7.14.150 provides that a violation of the illicit discharge
provisions may be enforced through either criminal or civil code enforcement
proceedings. These two options, however, are not appropriate in all situations.
Civil code enforcement proceedings are often appropriate when an ongoing code
violation exists and the responsible party has not responded to the City’s
request to voluntarily remove or abate the violation. That code enforcement
process, however, is not a good fit when the violation is completed; any
resulting injury is slight; or when immediate corrective action must be taken by
the City to mitigate potential damage or injury to the environment or the City’s
storm system.
Similarly, criminal charges are most appropriate when the violation is
egregious, when the violator is a repeat offender, or when other avenues have
proven ineffective. Criminal charges are often not appropriate for smaller
violations or those whose impact is not far reaching. Without another option
available, the City occasionally finds itself in a position where a violator is not
held accountable for his or her illegal conduct.
This ordinance amends KCC 7.14.150 to make a third remedy available to the
City—a civil infraction. By adding an option for a civil infraction, a police officer
will be able to use his or her discretion to determine whether criminal charges
or a civil infraction is most appropriate depending upon the particular situation’s
circumstances. Additionally, this ordinance expressly provides that a violator
must reimburse the City for any costs it incurs as a result of the prohibited
discharge. Failure to contest, mitigate, or pay the City’s costs within fourteen
(14) calendar days of invoice is also a violation for which an officer may issue a
civil infraction.

Enforcement for Illicit Discharges
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
city of Kent, Washington, amending section
7.14.150 of the Kent City Code relating to the
City’s illicit discharge code provisions and entitled
“Violations and Enforcement.”
RECITALS
A. The city of Kent has codified its regulations concerning
prohibited discharges into the city of Kent’s municipal separate storm
sewer system (“MS4”) in Chapter 7.14 of the Kent City Code (“KCC”).
Included within this chapter is KCC 7.14.150 which provides the remedies
available to the city of Kent should a prohibited discharge occur.
B. Currently, KCC 7.14.150 provides that a violation of the illicit
discharge provisions may be enforced through either criminal or civil code
enforcement proceedings. These two options, however, are not
appropriate in all situations. Civil code enforcement proceedings are often
appropriate when an ongoing code violation exists and the responsible
party has not responded to the City’s request to voluntarily remove or
abate the violation. That civil code enforcement process is not a good fit
when the violation is completed, any resulting injury is slight, or when
immediate corrective action must be taken by the City to mitigate potential
damage or injury to the environment or the City’s MS4 system. Similarly,
2 Amend KCC 7.14.150—Violations and
Enforcement for Illicit Discharges
criminal charges are most appropriate when the violation is egregious,
when the violator is a repeat offender, or when other avenues have proven
ineffective. Criminal charges are often not appropriate for smaller
violations or those whose impact is not far reaching. Without another
option available, the City occasionally finds itself in a position where a
violator is not held accountable for his or her illegal conduct.
C. This ordinance amends KCC 7.14.150 to make a third remedy
available to the city of Kent—a civil infraction. By adding an option for a
civil infraction, a police officer will be able to use his or her discretion to
determine whether criminal charges or a civil infraction is most appropriate
depending upon the particular situation’s circumstances. Additionally, this
ordinance expressly provides that a violator must reimburse the City of
Kent for any costs it incurs as a result of the prohibited discharge. Failure
to contest, mitigate, or pay the City’s costs within fourteen (14) calendar
days of invoice is also a violation for which an officer may issue a civil
infraction.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
ORDINANCE
SECTION 1. - Amendment. Section 7.14.150 of the Kent City
Code, entitled “Violations and Enforcement,” and related to prohibited
discharges into the city of Kent’s municipal separate storm sewer system,
is amended as follows:
Sec. 7.14.150. Violations and enforcement—Penalties. Any
violation of any provision of this chapter may be enforced as provided for
in this section. Each separate date, or portion thereof, during which any
violation occurs shall constitute a separate violation.
3 Amend KCC 7.14.150—Violations and
Enforcement for Illicit Discharges
A. Recovery of costs incurred by the City. In addition to any penalty
provided for in KCC 7.14.150(B) through KCC 7.14.150(D), a person who
violates any of the provisions of this chapter shall be liable for all costs
incurred by the City as a result of the violation. The City will issue an
invoice to the person responsible for the violation advising him or her of
the amount of costs incurred by the City as a result of the violation. The
person to whom the invoice was directed must respond within 14 calendar
days of the date the invoice is served upon that person by: (i) paying the
invoice, (ii) requesting a hearing before the City’s hearing examiner to
mitigate the amount of the invoice, or (iii) requesting a hearing before the
City’s hearing examiner to contest the amount of the invoice. Failure to
timely respond shall result in the invoice being deemed valid and the City
may seek collection of the invoice through the process provided for in
Chapter 3.10 of the Kent City Code, including the use of a collection
agency. Payment of any invoice issued shall not alleviate the person

a violation of this chapter has occurred on the same property or that a
person responsible for the violation has committed a violation of this
chapter elsewhere within the city of Kent. To constitute a “repeat

stormwater flood projection models as well as respond to flood events more
effectively.
The stream flow measured at the gage at Rock Creek and Kent Kangley Road is
included in the Clark Springs Habitat Conservation Plan as a criterion to determine the
City’s augmentation of flows in Rock Creek from October through December.
This agreement will provide for operation, maintenance and data collection at six
gages. Two are located on Mill Creek, one on Springbrook Creek, two on Rock Creek,
and one on the Green River.

The School Resource Officer Agreement provides that the City assign one police officer
to split his or her time between Kent-Meridian High School and Mill Creek Middle
School, and another officer to split his or her time between Kentridge High School and
Meridian Middle School. The officers work in the assigned schools to respond to school
safety related incidents, assist in emergency planning, and generally provide for a safe

The Police Services Agreement provides that the City assign one officer of the rank of
commander or above to act as a liaison between the Department and the District,
respond to school safety incidents as appropriate, provide school safety related advice

utilities tax to be collected as follows:
1. Upon every person, firm, or corporation engaging in or
carrying on any telephone business within the city, an annual tax equal to

intrastate toll, derived from the operation of such business within the city.
This six (6) percent tax will be allocated as follows: four and seven-tenths
(4.7) percent to the general fund, three-tenths (0.3) percent to youth/teen
programs, and one (1) percent to street improvement programs.
2. Upon every person, firm, or corporation engaging in or

producing gas, whether manufactured or natural, for commercial or
domestic use or purposes, a fee or tax equal to six (6) percent of the total
gross income from such business in the city during the tax year for which
the license is required. This six (6) percent tax will be allocated as follows:
four and seven-tenths (4.7) percent to the general fund, three-tenths (0.3)
percent to youth/teen programs, and one (1) percent to street
improvement programs.
3. Upon every person, firm, or corporation engaged in or

4. Upon every person, firm, or corporation engaged in or
carrying on the business providing cable television services, a tax equal to
six (6) percent of the total gross income from that business in the city
during the tax year for which the license is required. All revenue received

proportion determined by the city council in its biennial budget, including
all amendments.
5. Upon every person, firm, or corporation engaging in or
carrying on a business providing solid waste collection services, a tax equal
to eighteen and four-tenths (18.4) percent of the total gross income from
such business in the city during the tax year for which the license is

6. Upon every person (including the city) engaging in or carrying

4 Amend KCC 3.18.020 -
Re: Certain Utilities Subject to Tax
drainage services, a tax equal to thirteen (13) percent of the total gross
income from such business in the city during the tax year. This thirteen
(13) percent tax will be allocated as follows: five and seven-tenths (5.7)

remaining funds must be applied equally to (i) information technology
capital programs directed at funding long- and short-term hardware and

amount must still be allocated from the general fund to capital programs
for the above-stated purposes.

dedicated to the city’s capital improvements fund for the sole purpose of
retiring all debt in the city’s other capital projects fund. This two (2)
percent portion of the tax shall be eliminated on January 1, 2023, or on
the first day of the year following the date the debt in this fund is fully
retired, whichever occurs first.

Councilmembers
FROM: Derek Matheson, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: CAO Report for Tuesday, October 18, 2016
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 CAO and incoming City Clerk Kim Komoto met last week to set priorities for the City
Clerk’s Office. Kim officially starts her new job on Monday, October 17, and will staff
the city council meeting the following day.
• Performance Analyst Todd Babcock is working on Lean training courses and a business
plan for the city’s strategic planning, Lean continuous improvement, and performance
management efforts.
• The first round of parks director interviews are scheduled for next Friday, October 21.
We are very pleased with the strong candidate pool.
• Council budget workshops continue with department presentations the next two
Tuesdays.
• The Kent Neighborhood Program is working in conjunction with the Public Works
Transportation Division to assess if residents south of SE 208th St. between 124th Ave.
SE and 127th Pl. SE are impacted by spillover parking from Kentridge High School. A
letter will be sent out the week of October 17 asking residents to respond whether
they’re impacted or not. Responses are due October 31 and will help determine if a no
parking ordinance needs to be established.
• Erosion repair work is scheduled to start Monday, October 17 at Garrison Creek at S.
212th St. near WinCo Foods. This work will require temporary, intermittent lane closures
during weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Heavy rains forced a portion of Garrison
Creek to divert from its normal channel, severely eroding a portion of road. The $92K
repair cost is covered by the city’s drainage utility fund. The work is expected to be
finished by October 28.
• The pear trees lining First Avenue between Meeker and Titus streets will be removed
and replaced. Because of their declining health, these are highly susceptible to broken
limbs during storms, making them a hazard to pedestrians when branches extend over
sidewalks. They’ll be replaced with more columnar, easy-to-maintain Golden Maples and
Page 2 of 2
Tulip trees. Tree removal will begin October 17 and is scheduled between 8 a.m. and
noon on weekdays to minimize the impacts to businesses along First Avenue. The new
trees will be planted in the existing tree pits in early November.
ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
• Staff attended a “FullConTech” conference hosted by the Washington Technology
Industry Association in Redmond, WA and networked with area colleges, schools, and
tech industry. A follow-up meeting with Boeing Ventures is scheduled this week as an
example of a new connection made.
• Staff hosted two facility planning meetings with multiple colleges, CAMPS, and non-
profit aerospace trainers in attendance. Under consideration and development is a
possible Kent aerospace training facility.
• ECD planned and scheduled public outreach to communities who live and work along
Meeker Street to update them on the progress of concepts as part of the initiative “Meet
Me on Meeker,” while continuing to supervise the next stages of KPG consultant’s scope
of work for design and cost estimating.
• Staff fielded calls and provided market overviews to brokers that represent hotelier
development sites in Kent.
• Staff is attending the Idea Exchange ICSC (International Council of Shopping Centers)
regional conference in Portland, OR this week to meet with developers and retailer
representatives.

contractor quotes for building its commercial kitchen in downtown Kent.
• ECD and Public Works staff helped to coordinate with KPG Civil Engineering, Urban
Design and SeaTac Lighting and Controls, a live demonstration of a couple of the Phillips
vendor ColorBlast lighting fixtures in the evening time for beneath the SR-167
underpass on Meeker Street. The demonstrations were meant to confirm the previous
photometric computer modeling before settling on a final design and submission of
proposed fixtures to WSDOT for approval.
FINANCE
• The Department of Revenue (DOR) has completed their fieldwork on an audit testing the
City’s compliance in payment of sales and use taxes as well as other tax payments to
the state. The audit tested over 450 transactions for sales and use tax compliance and
found only one error. Additionally, the state found that, because of a law change in
2003, the City has been overpaying some taxes. This has been corrected and the City
will receive a credit from the state in the amount of the overpayment. Overall, this is a
fantastic result and demonstrates that great work by City staff and finance’s Accounts
Payable and General Ledger teams.
• The finance and law departments continue to work through changes to how the City
handles non-compliant businesses failing to properly attain a City business license.
Finance has previously briefed the Mayor and Operations Committee and is planning to
bring the code changes to Operations in November.

cited for three inoperable vehicles on her property and the City issued a fine for each
Page 4 of 2
vehicle ($1,500 total). The property owner requested a hearing and asked that the
fines be reduced. Victoria objected to the reduction because the individual was a repeat
violator within the City and had received a reduction in her fine on a prior violation. The
hearing examiner imposed the full amount because the owner had made no progress
and the City presented a convincing case.
