Minutes
Kent has updated its Surface Water Design Manual as required to maintain
compliance with the State of Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater
General Permit (NPDES). Most of the changes are to fix errors and omissions,
provide clarity and consistency with Kent Standards, or to implement new
WA Department of Ecology requirements.
MOTION: Recommend Council adopt an Ordinance repealing Section 2 of
Ordinance No. 4234 that had adopted the 2017 Kent Surface Water Design
Manual and adopting the 2022 Kent Surface Water Design Manual.

Brian Levenhagen, Deputy Director of Parks, Recreation & Community o
Services presented the proposed updates to the 2022-2027 Parks and Open N
vi
Space Plan. N
The purpose of the 2022-2027 Parks and Open Space Plan (POSP) is to 4-
develop a long-range vision to guide the continued planning and
development of the overall park system to better, and more equitably, serve
current and future residents of Kent. This document serves as a roadmap for =_
the prioritization of capital funds and a decision-making tool for city staff to
carry out day-to-day operations.
r
This plan update focuses on development of level of service metrics for land a
acquisition, updates to recreational value scores, racial and social equity Q
planning and engagement, GIS data and analysis, sustainable funding plan,
and an update to project priorities.
c
The City is required to update the POSP every six years to be eligible for
grant funding through the state Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO),
which is a significant source of funding for city-funded capital projects.
Adoption of this updated plan in July 2022 will allow the city to apply for
grants in the upcoming grant cycle.
Board member Sally McDonough made a comment on record of her support
for creating a park dedicated to horse riding on the Huse property. The Huse
property is to be developed into a park but currently, is undeveloped. There
were two citizens, Karen Arango and Debbie Sabey also spoke to their
support of this proposal.

7. Dulay Property Comprehensive Plan Mau Amendment Reguest - Den v Cn
w
Kaelene Nobis, Senior Long Range Planner from Economic and Community N
Development gave a presentation on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment a
CPA-2021-7. O
2
The City received one application submitted by private property owners for a
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map during the 2021
docket submission process. Applicant requests redesignation from SF-6 to N
MU of what is titled the Dulay properties. N
M
The board had previously requested that Ms. Nobis do further research to ;,
conclude whether the Dulay properties could be changed to Medium Density
Multi-Family (MDMF) instead of Mixed Use (MU). She presented her findings o
that they could be changed to MDMF. There was discussion regarding the
probable number of units that could be built on the Dulay properties under a
MDMF designation or if the properties remained SFR-6, how many standalone
homes could be built on the property.
Board member Sally McDonough brought up the new housing targets for
2044 which sets a target for over 10,000 new residential units. Her opinion
was that The City should not change residential zoning to MU or Commercial Q
when the city needs to focus on additional housing. r
c
The public was then invited to comment. Terry Fritz, who lives in the
neighborhood to the East, was the first speaker. He, personally, had
contacted 20 of his neighbors. The overwhelming opinion is this is a bad
idea. The main concerns brought up by Mr. Fritz was traffic safety. The
ingress/egress to Sonic creates a difficult left turn. Instead of taking a left
out of Sonic, cars are entering their neighborhood to turn around. This is
concerning to the neighborhood because of the speed at which those vehicles
go through their neighborhood. Sandra Pereira asked Mr. Fritz what other
effects the neighbors that he spoke to worried about. Mr. Fritz stated that
noise, congestion, and tree loss if the property is developed were among the
top concerns

The next speaker was Ludmilla Ben. Her property abuts the Sonic. The noise
from accidents at the intersection is constant and loud. Because of her job,
she gets up at 4am so she must go to sleep early. Ms. Ben said it's a
nightmare because of the noise from the commercial businesses currently
there. She has had to call police for noise complaints in the past. She stated
that these lots are developed into commercial businesses, it could only
negatively affect the neighborhood. She brought up the increasing number of
homeless in park that is close to the location. She finished by stating "we
have to fight for peace in our neighborhood and to keep our kids safe". o
Cn
The next speaker was Stephanie Avelar. Ms. Avelar stated that the noise W
from the intersection and the noise of accidents at the intersection is terrible.
There's been an increase in non-residents walking/driving through the a
neighborhood. Her husband, Jonathan Vera, spoke to the area where their o
children wait for the school bus. He has found used condoms, needles, beer
& whiskey and that this has increased in the last 6 months to a year. He a
states the neighborhood is becoming less livable and that if this CPA passes o
the investors will benefit not the community that has lived there for years. N
N
O
N
Mr. Fitz brought to the Boards attention that the renters were not given any M
notice. Ms. Nobis confirmed with Tanya Kosen that notices are sent to N
taxpayer of the property, so renters don't receive notices.

Ms. Nobis explained that the Zoom instructions on the Public Notice were
inaccurate. She stated that comments are still accepted up to and beyond
the next meeting one June 13, 2022 with the Economic and Community
Development Committee. Adam Long reiterated that comments are still
accepted and that there are 2 more opportunities for comments at meetings.
Board Member, Chris McClain stated his concerned that not all public had a
access and would like the vote to postpone. Mr. Long explained that
postponing this amendment would stop the prior 2 items on the Agenda. Joe Q
stated that there are more opportunities to receive comment and that the r
vote is not binding, and a rezone would be needed for anything to be built.
Mr. O'Toole asked Mr. Long to explain what the board is tasked with in this
vote. Mr. Adam explained that the board is voting on a recommendation to
either approve or deny to the council. The board is not voting on anything
binding. Beyond the current vote, if this CPA were approved by council a
rezone would be needed to build anything. That process also calls for public
comments during a public hearing in front of a hearing examiner. Mr. O'Toole
stated that given that, he believes that the board should come to a decision
and not hold any of the items up.
Ms. McDonough questions if this vote creates precedence for the
neighborhood. The lots just North of the Dulay Properties have received

approval for a 3 lot short plat. Voting to approve this CPA would change the
integrity of neighborhood, in her opinion.
There were no other public speakers, so the public hearing was close.
Ms. McDonough asked if the CPA could be sent back to staff. It was explained
that more work/research would need to be requested by the board but that
isn't the case. If there's no more research to be done, a vote needs to be
done. Mr. Long explained the procedure to vote with more than one option.

Ms. McDonough read a motion to deny the CPA but did not receive a second Cn
so that motion failed. Mr. O'Toole read the motion to approve and received a W
second. The motion passed 3-2. z

KENT
WASHINGTON
DATE: November 14, 2022
TO: Land Use and Planning Board
FROM: Economic & Community Development
SUBJECT: Housekeeping Zoning Code Ordinance 2021/2022
SUMMARY: The City of Kent considers annual housekeeping amendments to the
Kent City Code to ensure city codes are clear, accurate, and consistent. The
proposed code amendments resulted from staff-identified code issues.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
Below is a summary of the proposed code amendments, which are included in the
attached draft changes. A formal draft ordinance will be presented at the hearing.
1. 15.02.135: Definition- Family
• Needs to be updated to comply with new state law which prohibits
jurisdictions from limiting the number of persons in a household or
family.
2. 15.02.260: Definition- Mixed-use Development
• Development standards for what percentage of development is
required to be commercial are buried in this definition. The change will
move the standards to the mixed-use table 15.04.200.
4. 15.02.307: Definition: Opiate substitution treatment facility
• The existing definition refers to state codes that are no longer active
and will be revised to remove outdated references.
5. 15.04.170 and 15.04.180: Clarity Issue- Complicated formula for minimum
lot size that is unintentionally more restrictive than the density calculation.
• Code provides conflicting and confusing development standards for
multifamily residential units when applying the maximum density and
minimum lot size requirements. This code unintentionally increases the
cost of development and therefore the costs of housing. The footnote
references for 8,500 for the first two lots and then 3,000 for each lot,
limit the number of units allowed on a site in a way that is stricter than
density. It also has been interpreted to mean that a developer of
townhomes would need to have two lots significantly larger than the
others. The code already identifies an appropriate minimum lot size in
each zone. The complicated formula will be removed and instead use
the already designated maximum density and remaining development
standards (such as lot width, lot coverage, setbacks, etc.).
Packet Pg. 9
6. 15.04.050 Footnotes (12, 14, 15, 21): Code error- Footnotes are not
referenced in the table.
• The footnotes are not associated with anything in the use table
(15.04.040) and should have been removed during Rally the Valley but
were missed. These footnotes will be removed as part of this code
audit.
7. 15.04.200 Table: Adding the portion removed from the definition of mixed-
use, into this table.
• See #2, above.
8. 15.05.040: Clarity Issue- Footnotes 3 and 4 for multifamily parking in MTC-1,
MTC-2 and MCR.
• These footnotes are nearly identical except for the amount of parking
required and do not identify which footnote, 3 or 4, should be applied.
Footnote 4 was intended for Senior facilities and was accidentally lost
during the collapse of the code section in 2012. In 2011, footnote 4
was added for senior buildings in MTC-1, MTC-2, and MCR. When the
code section was combined in 2012, this nuance was lost. To clarify,
"for senior buildings" will be added.
SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:
Innovative Government - Delivering outstanding customer service, developing leaders, and
fostering innovation.
Sustainable Services - Providing quality services through responsible financial management,
economic growth, and partnerships.

DATE: November 14, 2022
TO: Land Use and Planning Board
FROM: Economic & Community Development
SUBJECT: Introduction to the 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update
SUMMARY: The City is required to update its Comprehensive Plan by the end of
2024. ECD staff will lead this project and will coordinate efforts with all
departments to review, evaluate, and update policies.
A Comprehensive Plan envisions a city's future. It describes a city's long-term
vision for growth, infrastructure, and services. It articulates a series of goals and
policies intended to guide the day-to-day decisions of elected officials and staff.
Comprehensive Plans continually evolve to address long-term opportunities and
challenges. The most recent version of Kent's Comprehensive Plan was updated in
2015.
Kent is a dynamic and growing city. Much has changed since the 2015
Comprehensive Plan was adopted. Regional planning frameworks have been
updated, new legislation requires cities to address housing options and affordability,
and emerging topics have become priorities for the community (such as equity and
climate change). The 2024 Comprehensive Plan provides an opportunity for the city
to re-evaluate and confirm our goals and policies to achieve a shared vision for
Kent's future.
At the upcoming LUPB meeting staff will provide an overview of the Comprehensive
Plan update process and will ask for feedback on various project components,
including outreach and community engagement.
SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:
Innovative Government - Delivering outstanding customer service, developing leaders, and
fostering innovation.
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,
