Changes to the Agenda 5. 2021 Kent Design and Construction Standards Susanne Smith gave a presentation on the 2021 Kent Design and Construction Standards. Over the past several years the City of Kent Public Works Department collaborated with departments throughout the City to update the 2009 Kent Design and Construction Standards. The 2021 Kent Design and Construction Standards were created from this effort. Page 1 of 2 Qbdlfu!Qh/!3 4 Land Use and Planning Board Land Use Regular December 14, 2020 Meeting Kent, Washington Minutes The purpose of the standards is to the extent practicable, to set forth the minimum requirements for specific and consistent construction of, and improvements to: public and private streets, water utilities, sewer utilities and storm water utilities; placement and operation of any utilities in rights- of-way; and all excavation and grading in the City. The 2021 Kent Design and Construction Standards have been submitted for SEPA and to the Department of Commerce, the State Department of Health and the King County Industrial Waste Program for review and comments. There were questions from the board members inquiring lighting and possible acoustic measures. 6. Transportation Master Plan (TMP) Update April Delchamps gave a presentation updating the board members on the Transportation Master Plan. The Transportation Master Plan (TMP) details extensive public outreach and interdepartmental coordination can be seen in the project lists as well as in the policies and actions. These two elements of the TMP are a critical part of the roadmap for reaching the adopted goals. They are two of the most tangible outputs of the Transportation Master Plan update process. The policies and actions provide direction and next steps that will facilitate a variety of efforts. These efforts include grant applications for projects on the prioritized project list, process updates to improve the flow to the 6-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), data collection and analysis to facilitate grant applications and to support partnerships, and external and internal collaboration on projects and processes. Both the project lists and policies and actions flow to the last element of the TMP, the plan performance measures. There will be a future presentation on potential plan performance measures. The board members had questions about voting procedures and the City Council as well as items on the project list. 7.

In order to charge a park impact fee, a parks project list must be adopted as an amendment to the Kent Comprehensive Plan into the capital facilities element. Adding the park project list as an amendment to the capital facilities element of the Kent Comprehensive Plan does not obligate the City of Kent to enact a Park Impact Fee. The project list is derived from the 2016 City of Kent Park and Open Space Comprehensive Plan and consists of projects that were adopted in the Parks 6-year CIP as part of the 2021-2022 City of Kent Biennial Budget. SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL: Evolving Infrastructure - Connecting people and places through strategic investments in physical and technological infrastructure. Thriving City - Creating safe neighborhoods, healthy people, vibrant commercial districts, and inviting parks and recreation. Sustainable Services - Providing quality services through responsible financial management, economic growth, and partnerships. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

First, it provides a roadmap of how the city plans to pay for the projects outlined in this plan. Next, it describes strategies that the City plans to employ to optimize use of its transportation network. The chapter concludes with a description of Systemwide Performance Measures, which will be used to track progress in implementing the TMP over time. The City of Kent uses different revenue sources for operations and capital. Kent’s transportation operating funds come from three main sources outlined below and shown in Table XX. Street Operating Income which includes revenue from sources such as Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (MVFT) distributions; utility tax revenue dedicated to street improvement programs; discretionary transfers from the general fund; and other local receipts from permits, interest income, and reimbursements to fund street operating expenses. B&O Tax to fund street maintenance and capital. Solid Waste Utility Tax for residential street maintenance and repair. Table XX Kent 2019 Transportation Operations, Maintenance, and Rehabilitations Funding Funding Source Amount Street Operating Income $17,345,420 B&O Street Maintenance & Capital $7,660,400 Solid Waste Utility Tax $3,506,000 Total Funding $28,511,820 Operations, maintenance, and rehabilitation revenue is used by the City of Kent to fund street operating expenses, which were $17.3 million in 2019, as well as to Buubdinfou;!MVQC2.22.32`EsbguUNQEpdUfyuGjobm!!)3655!;!UNQ* fund annual maintenance and rehabilitation needs such as pavement restoration (overlays, crack sealing, potholes, etc.), sidewalk repairs, ADA accessibility improvements (curb ramp retrofits, accessible pedestrian pushbuttons), and pavement markings/channelization. The City of Kent anticipates the Operations, Maintenance and Rehabilitation Budget remaining stable over the next 20 years. The 20-Year Operations, Maintenance and Rehabilitation Budget is detailed in Table XX. Table XX ESBGU!UNQ!Epdvnfou!Ufyu!–!Qbhf!212!pg!223 Qbdlfu!Qh/!221 8/b Chapter 7: Implementation Page 2 of 12 Kent 20 Year Transportation Operations, Maintenance, and 1 Rehabilitations Budget Funding Source Amount Street Operating Income $346,908,400 B&O Street Maintenance & Capital $153,208,000 Solid Waste Utility Tax $70,120,000 Total Funding $570,236,400 The prioritized projects are funded by the capital project budget, the 20-year financially constrained budget for the Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The prioritized projects combined with projects with secured funding and developer projects are the projects the City of Kent anticipates constructing over the next 20 years. The program projects detailed in the last chapter are the projects to be considered for a program on the prioritized project list. Each program will be developed with the potential project list expanding in a cocreation effort with the public and other external stakeholders. Next priority projects are projects from the extensive public outreach effort that ranked highly on the performance measures but for which funding was unavailable in the capital project budget. Lastly, the visionary multimodal network are projects necessary to construct a complete multimodal transportation network. Many policies and actions in this plan provide a pathway for decision making and define steps to improve processes, develop projects, assign tasks, and set priorities. Of importance is the focus on Buubdinfou;!MVQC2.22.32`EsbguUNQEpdUfyuGjobm!!)3655!;!UNQ* incorporating equity in processes and projects. The effort to construct projects that increase access to opportunity requires outreach with residents, especially underserved populations. The visionary multimodal network will build on the prioritized projects, program projects and next priority projects as relationships, processes, and projects are cocreated. This chapter details the four revenue sources for the capital project budget as well as the historic and forecast revenue for each source. Further, potential system wide ESBGU!UNQ!Epdvnfou!Ufyu!–!Qbhf!213!pg!223 Qbdlfu!Qh/!222 8/b Chapter 7: Implementation Page 3 of 12 performance measures are discussed. These measures will be a part of the annual six-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) update. The capital project budget consists of four revenue sources, the business & occupation tax (B&O), grants and appropriations, transportation impact fees (TIFs), and local improvement districts (LIDs). Business and Occupation (B&O) Taxes are taxes on a businesses’ gross receipts. Cities have the authority to impose B&O taxes on businesses operating within city limits in addition to any state B&O tax (RCW 35.21.710). The City of Kent began collecting B&O taxes in 2013 to pay for critical street repairs and to ensure a safe and efficient transportation system. A portion of B&O taxes are used to match grants and fund capital projects. Federal, state, and local (King County Metro and Sound Transit) grants are available to help fund transportation projects in Kent. Grants are competitive and the city competes with other jurisdictions based on need, project potential, deliverability, and value. The city anticipates that future transportation projects will align with criteria for state and federal grants. Additionally, it is anticipated that WSDOT local program grants (such as Safe Routes to Schools and Pedestrian and Bicycle Funding Program) and Transit grants (such as King County Metro Access to Transit, King County Metro Speed and Reliability Partnerships, and Sound Transit’s Access to Transit) will be provide increasing revenue over the next 20 years. Over the last ten years, Kent has received other state shared revenues such as direct project legislative appropriations or distributions from the state multimodal account. The city will continue to pursue these funds for suitable projects. Buubdinfou;!MVQC2.22.32`EsbguUNQEpdUfyuGjobm!!)3655!;!UNQ* Transportation impact fees (TIFs) are charges on new development for transportation system improvements related to the new development’s system impacts. Fees are not allowed to exceed a proportionate share of the costs of these system improvements and are only used for system improvements that will reasonably benefit the new development. In addition, impact fees cannot be the sole source of funding for system improvements that address growth impacts. Transportation impact fees, as governed by the Growth Management Act (GMA), must be used for transportation capital improvements that provide new capacity, as addressed by a capital facilities plan element of a comprehensive plan adopted under the GMA. Impact fees cannot be used to fund maintenance and operations costs. ESBGU!UNQ!Epdvnfou!Ufyu!–!Qbhf!214!pg!223 Qbdlfu!Qh/!223 8/b Chapter 7: Implementation Page 4 of 12 Local Improvement Districts (LIDs) are special purpose funding mechanisms that can be created by cities to fund improvements in specific areas. Cities are authorized to form LIDs under RCW 35.43 without voter approval. LIDs generate funds by implementing proportionate special assessments on property owners that benefit from improvements. LID revenues are limited in their use to specific capital projects that benefit owners in the special purpose area for which they were created. Between 2017 and 2020, the total capital project budget from these revenue sources averaged $12.4 million annually. Each funding source has unique characteristics in terms of revenue trend and/or applicability to projects. B&O Tax: a stable revenue with broad project eligibility. This is the most stable revenue source with a range from $3.39 to $4.43 million. Grants: competitive revenue source but projects must fit criteria to be competitive. This revenue source is highly dependent on the grant opportunities available in each year. Historically, there are significant more grant opportunities (and funding available) in even years than odd years. Appropriations: Sporadic revenue source for regionally significant projects. State or legislature appropriations are usually the result of multiyear lobbying efforts. This dynamic results in years with no appropriations followed by a year with significant appropriations. Transportation Impact Fees (TIF): Revenue dependent on economy with broad project eligibility. The City of Kent’s transportation impact fee (TIF)was adopted in 2010. The City of Kent’s transportation impact fee generated between $1.7 and $2.85 million from 2017 and 2019. Due to the COVID pandemic, the TIF Buubdinfou;!MVQC2.22.32`EsbguUNQEpdUfyuGjobm!!)3655!;!UNQ* generated $1.5 million in 2020 which is less than anticipated. Stable Revenue & Limited Project Eligibility: Local improvement districts (LIDs) are project specific and require significant city staff resources to implement. The city currently has five active LIDsthat fund existing capital projects. On average, over the last four years, LIDs have generated approximately $2 million. The last LID will expire in 2027. To generate more LID revenue in the future, the city has identified potential projects on the prioritized project list that could potentially be partially funded by a LID. Historic 2017 to 2020 revenue for each source is detailed in Table XX. ESBGU!UNQ!Epdvnfou!Ufyu!–!Qbhf!215!pg!223 Qbdlfu!Qh/!224 Buubdinfou;!MVQC2.22.32`EsbguUNQEpdUfyuGjobm!!)3655!;!UNQ* 8/b Qbdlfu!Qh/!225 !Qbhf!216!pg!223 – ESBGU!UNQ!Epdvnfou!Ufyu! 8/b Chapter 7: Implementation Page 6 of 12 The historic revenue, future trends and pending city actions were reviewed for each capital project funding source. The city anticipates the following: Capital project funds from the B&O tax is anticipated to decline slightly over the next 20 years. The annual contribution of B&O funds is projected to be $3.5 million. Capital project funds from grants and appropriations is expected to be relatively steady; however, there are a several factors that could affect this revenue source. All grants are becoming increasingly competitive. Local grants are a relatively new funding source. While Kent projects have been competitive, the awards tend to be smaller than state and federal grant awards. At the state level, Kent projects are competitive, but the criteria are increasingly project and geographic location dependent. At the federal level, criteria for Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) grant competitions are increasingly focused on projects in and connecting to Regional Growth Centers and Manufacturing and Industrial Centers. Kent has one Regional Growth Center in part of Downtown and one Manufacturing and Industrial Center in part of the Kent Industrial Valley. Federal grants tend to be higher amounts, but only a portion of prioritized projects will be competitive. Due to the increased competitiveness and level of uncertainty, the annual grant and appropriations forecast for the next 20 years is projected to be $4.5 million. The annual forecast will be periodically evaluated to evaluate trends. Capital project funds from transportation impact fees (TIFs) is expected to increase over the 20-year plan. The city is in the process of updating the Transportation Impact Fee program as part of this Transportation Master Plan. Key revisions include updating the project list to fund more multimodal projects (that fit within state eligibility requirements) and a proposed increase of the City’s TIF rate to fund more project delivery. The increase in the TIF rate will bring the City’s TIF rate in line with other Cities in South King County and the Puget Sound region. Updating the program requires Council approval and the fees would be collected from development, not the general population. The annual contribution of transportation impact fees (TIFs) is projected to be $3.2 million. Buubdinfou;!MVQC2.22.32`EsbguUNQEpdUfyuGjobm!!)3655!;!UNQ* Capital funds from local improvement districts (LIDs) are expected to nd increase over the next 20 years. The Military Road and 132 Ave SE corridors as well as multiple individual projects have been identified for funding from LIDs. The annual contribution of local improvement districts (LIDs) is projected to be $1.5 million. The average annual capital budget for the 20-year plan is $12.7 million, a 2.6% increase from the 2017-2020 annual average. Table XX details the annual and 20- year Capital Project Budget for the 20-year plan.

A cost estimate was developed for each of the 96 projects on the prioritized project list. The total cost estimate for the prioritized projects is $253,993,588. This estimate is below the forecast capital project budget for the Buubdinfou;!MVQC2.22.32`EsbguUNQEpdUfyuGjobm!!)3655!;!UNQ* plan ($254 million). The prioritized projects can be reviewed in Appendix X. This plan has thus far focused on completing Kent’s multimodal transportation network via the layered network approach. The network proposed for each mode represents the supply side of the transportation network. The opposite side of the coin is the demand for the multimodal transportation network. The demand side is addressed with Transportation Demand Management (TDM). ESBGU!UNQ!Epdvnfou!Ufyu!–!Qbhf!218!pg!223 Qbdlfu!Qh/!227 8/b Chapter 7: Implementation Page 8 of 12 The concept of TDM has evolved from a focus on commuters and strategies for reducing demand at peak times to a focus on maximizing the modal choices of all travelers and trip types. The shift includes a broader set of diverse strategies to address many trip types and choices. Federal Highway Association (FHWA) defines TDM as: Managing demand is about providing travelers, regardless of whether they drive alone, with travel choices, such as work location, route, time of travel and mode. In the broadest sense, demand management is defined as providing travelers with effective choices 3 to improve travel reliability. The emphasis is on personal mobility rather than vehicular mobility. On the supply side, TDM strives to treat roadway, transit, bicycle facilities and sidewalk capacity as valuable, limited assets to be carefully managed. TDM strategies that strive to manage the demand on the limited multimodal transportation network include, encouraging ride sharing (car- and vanpooling); providing alternative mode subsidies (e.g. transit passes); providing telecommuting, flex schedules, and compressed work weeks; encouraging active options; and enforcing parking fees/restrictions. Other TDM strategies can range from simple marketing programs to complex land use decisions. City land use policies can reduce dependence on private automobile travel by focusing growth in specific locations and changing land use development patterns. Land use densities, mixed-use activity, urban design, transit station areas and other concentrated points of activity support frequent transit service and pedestrian facilities for centers and along major travel corridors. The city’s TDM program is focused on maximizing alternative mode options for all travels. These are various ways that commuters can travel to work and individuals can travel for other purposes that reduce the number of single occupancy trips: Buubdinfou;!MVQC2.22.32`EsbguUNQEpdUfyuGjobm!!)3655!;!UNQ* Public transit options are provided by both Sound Transit and King County Metro. In some areas of Kent transit is a convenient, affordable option for all trip types. Over the next 5 years, transit options will expand to include two Sound Transit link light rail stations on Kent’s West Hill and RapidRide I which connects Renton to Auburn via Kent’s East Hill and Kent Station. Both Sound Transit and King County Metro are growing programs to increase access to transit to increase mobility for underserved populations. Additionally, Metro has made strides in co-creating the transit network in south King County to better meet the needs of underserved populations. ESBGU!UNQ!Epdvnfou!Ufyu!–!Qbhf!219!pg!223 Qbdlfu!Qh/!228 8/b Chapter 7: Implementation Page 9 of 12 Kent partners with King County Metro for vanpools and rideshare solutions primarily for commute trips though other trip purposes such as to school are being explored. The vanpool program requires a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 15 individuals per vehicle with similar commutes. King County Metro also offers the vanshare solutions to local business to fulfill the first and last mile connectivity to and from a transit services to the employer site. Metro has begun looking at ways to make access vanpools and carpools more equitable, namely, how to lower the barrier of entry for underserved populations. Every trip begins and end with walking. The existing pedestrian network supports walking for many trip types particularly in areas with higher density, mixed uses. Metro and Sound Transit buses and trains are equipped to accommodate passengers with bicycles. Bicycling is often a viable mode for commuters who are located Flextime: Employees works a set further than walking distance from transit number of hours with start/end services and whose schedules are too times and days of the week inflexible to use Vanshare programs.

Alternative work schedule options are beneficial to both employees and employers. Businesses can provide coverage for additional hours, and employees are able to Buubdinfou;!MVQC2.22.32`EsbguUNQEpdUfyuGjobm!!)3655!;!UNQ* work their schedules around transit and ridesharing availability. Alternative Two TDM strategies quickly adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic were telework and alternative work schedules. These strategies facilitated two objectives, protecting the health of employees and decreasing demand on the transportation network. Kent implemented telework using existing technology and leveraging resources to continue to support its customers and employees. Some departments required employees in the office/facilities. These departments adopted staggered shifts that adhered to public safety guidelines of social distancing and reduced capacity in enclosed areas. ESBGU!UNQ!Epdvnfou!Ufyu!–!Qbhf!21:!pg!223 Qbdlfu!Qh/!229 8/b Chapter 7: Implementation Page 10 of 12 schedules include flextime, compressed work weeks, and staggered shifts. These options are a significant component of the CTR program in Kent. In the Puget Sound region, full-time and part-time telecommuting has increased over the last decade. The COVID pandemic has forced many businesses, non- profits, and government agencies to quickly implement telework for employees that can work remotely. To facilitate this shift, unique solutions were implemented to address technology and resource barriers. The level of telework is anticipated to decline as the threat of the COVID pandemic wains, but many businesses, non- profits and government agencies are likely to have significantly higher levels of telework than before the pandemic. In 1991, the Washington State legislature passed the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law (RCW 70.94.521) to reduce traffic congestion, increase air quality, and decrease fuel consumption. In 2006, the Washington State Legislature passed the Commute Trip Reduction Efficiency Act in 2006 (RCW 70.94.521). The goal of the CTR Efficiency Act is to improve the efficiency of the overall transportation system by focusing on the most congested areas of the state and increasing the planning coordination between local, regional, and state organizations. The Washington State CTR Law is unlike many of the required trip reduction programs established in other states through federal air pollution regulations. Washington’s CTR program relies on a partnership between the public and private sectors to make progress towards meeting goals. The CTR program is based on cooperation and collaboration rather than a punitive approach administered based on regulation and enforcement. The CTR law is incorporated into the Washington State Clean Air Act. The City of Kent adopted its CTR ordinance (Ordinance No. 3474) in 1993. As the State of Washington’s population has grown, the need for TDM strategies, Buubdinfou;!MVQC2.22.32`EsbguUNQEpdUfyuGjobm!!)3655!;!UNQ* implemented thru programs like CTR, has significantly increased. The CTR program encourages companies to work with their employees to reduce drive-alone and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) rates. Since the start of the CTR program, the overall State single occupancy vehicle (SOV) rate has remained constant even though the volume of commuters has increased, which indicates commuters are choosing alternative modes of transportation. Since 1993, there have been many changes in the Puget Sound Region. Job growth has exploded in King County in recent years, although most of the residential population growth has occurred outside of King County. CTR employees are commuting greater distances, extending the hours of peak congestion. Currently, Kent’s CTR program serves 25 work sites providing support to over 15,000 ESBGU!UNQ!Epdvnfou!Ufyu!–!Qbhf!221!pg!223 Qbdlfu!Qh/!22: 8/b Chapter 7: Implementation Page 11 of 12 employees. The City’s CTR Program actively engages with businesses interested in the CTR Program. The city manages its CTR program proactively by providing public outreach to the entire business community, not just the businesses required by law to participate in the CTR program. Kent’s CTR program provides information and connections for employees to a variety of alternative commute options including flex schedules, compressed work weeks, tele-working, transit, and ridesharing. The city also actively coordinates with transit organizations such as King County Metro that administer marketing campaigns such as Wheel Options, Rideshare, and the Commuter Challenge. Employers with 100 or more full-time employees (scheduled 35+ hours/week) that begin their workday between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. at least two days a week at a single worksite for 12 continuous months of the year. •Appoint/maintain an Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC) to be the contact between the employer and the city. •Biannually submit a program report to the city for review/ approval. •Exercise a good faith effort by collaborating with the city. •Biannually conduct a CTR employee survey to measure their employees' drive alone rates In the present, TDM strategies seek to maximize the efficiency of the existing multimodal transportation network. In the future, pairing the construction of transportation capacity with TDM strategies seeks increase efficiency of the Buubdinfou;!MVQC2.22.32`EsbguUNQEpdUfyuGjobm!!)3655!;!UNQ* multimodal transportation system over time. Tracking progress on implementing TDM strategies will be incorporated into the systemwide (plan) performance measures developed for the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). ESBGU!UNQ!Epdvnfou!Ufyu!–!Qbhf!222!pg!223 Qbdlfu!Qh/!231 8/b Chapter 7: Implementation Page 12 of 12 Systemwide performance measures (or plan performance measures) are used to understand how progress on projects and policies translates into progress on the adopted goals. The measures are used as checkpoints to understand where progress is occurring and not occurring to reach the goals of Connectivity and Options, Safety and Health, Stewardship, Strategy and Placemaking. The 20-year plan is a living plan, and the plan performance measure provide the data to understand our progress and if redirection is necessary to reach the adopted goals. Public outreach especially with underserved populations was a critical component of developing this plan and will be a component of future updates as a result of the plan performance measures. Buubdinfou;!MVQC2.22.32`EsbguUNQEpdUfyuGjobm!!)3655!;!UNQ* A set of potential plan performance measures will be developed in early 2021 for inclusion in the annual six-year transportation improvement program (TIP) update.
