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
th
which is already adopted into the Kent Comprehensive Plan and consists of
projects that were adopted in the Parks 6-year CIP as part of the 2021-2022

There were several questions from the board members regarding what the
new fee will be and how it will work with the existing fees. There was
discussion around the list and what the expected completion date would be
for all projects.
6. Proposed 2021 Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment CPA-2018-1
Matt Gilbert, Deputy Director of Economic and Community Development,
gave a presentation on the Proposed 2021 Comprehensive Plan Map
Amendment for Kent 25 LLC. The City received an application several years
ago that was put on hold while inter-jurisdictional conversations took place
regarding the future of the parcel; the applicant has requested the City move
forward with the application in 2021.
The site is a vacant 13.2-acre portion of the 155 acre Bridges PUD
th
development, located at 12200 SE 304 Street. The site is in the
jurisdictional boundaries of the City of Kent but is non-contiguous with the
rest of the City and is surrounded by land within the City of Auburn. The site
was previously approved for commercial
PUD regulations. The approved commercial development was never
constructed, and the owner now seeks to change the Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map designation of the site from US, Urban Separator to LDMF, Low
Density Multifamily.
7. Transportation Master Plan (TMP) Document Update
April Delchamps, Senior Transportation Planner for Public Works gave a
presentation on the Transportation Master Plan document update. The
portation vision for the
next 20 years. This vision was crafted through extensive public outreach and
interdepartmental coordination. The project lists as well as the policies and
actions are two of the most tangible outputs of the Transportation Master
Plan update, but numerous other elements are documented in the TMP. The
TMP sets a framework for understanding, prioritizing, measuring, and
constructing a multimodal transportation network to help Kent achieve its
goals.
