5. King County Candidate Countywide Center Application
City of Kent staff applied on August 30, 2021, to designate a 250-acre
portion of the East Hill as a Candidate Countywide Growth Center under King
Co
would help transportation projects within this area be as competitive as
possible for funding; however, if chosen, additional planning efforts are
needed to be eligible for official application in 2024.
Countywide Centers are emerging as an opportunity to designate areas of
growth that are a lower level of regional significance but still deserving of

investment; transportation funders are interested in identifying candidates
for designation for funding competitions in 2022, in advance of the official
designation. Growth centers serve an essential role in equitably
concentrating jobs, housing, shopping, and recreational opportunities, and
staff is working hard to ensure Kent attracts needed investments to ensure
the growth is supported and sustainable.
The purpose of this agenda item is to walk through the center application,
show the location, and expand upon future planning opportunities for Kent
East Hill.
6. Upcoming Grant Opportunities from Department of Commerce
Two grant opportunities were recently announced that could fund various
long range planning efforts for the City of Kent. Both grants require
applications to be submitted by October 7, 2021; staff are collecting
feedback on options for both grants.
Housing Action Plan Implementation (HAPI) grants of up to $100,000 are
available for cities that have adopted Housing Action Plans - like the recently
adopted KHOP. Possible implementation projects from KHOP for this grant
could include middle housing code amendment support, collaborating with
SKHHP on establishment of a monitoring system for naturally occurring and
subsidized affordable housing, and/or further work related to mobile home
park preservation.
Transit-Oriented Development Implementation (TODI) grants, also at up to
$100,000, are available for cities to facilitate TOD in areas of high capacity
transit including bus rapid transit. Subarea plans, environmental review, and
local code amendments are all eligible costs; with several bus rapid transit
lines coming to Kent in the near future, there is great opportunity for Kent to
update land use in response to these transit investments. Specific options
include studying several future RapidRide corridors at a higher level, or
focusing on the RapidRide I line and completing a subarea plan and new
zoning for station areas along that corridor. Given the recent application for
Canyon Ridge Center (along the I-line) to be designated a countywide center
candidate, staff are interested in input on these options and how they can
support various city planning efforts.
