Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance - Outreach & Code Update Kaelene Nobis, Long Range Senior Planner for Economic and Community Development, provided LUPB with the draft accessory dwelling units ordinance for review and gave a short update on final survey results. The proposal would amend Kent City Code language that refers to ADUs related to utilities, impacts fees, and definitions and proposes a full update to ....... ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ......... Page 3 of 4 Packet Pg. 5 4.A.1 Economic and Community Development April 10, 2023 Committee CC ECDC Regular Meeting Kent, Washington Minutes Section 15.08.350 to update accessory dwelling unit development standards in accordance with research as well as LUPB, Council, and public feedback. The LUPB was also presented with a comparison of the draft staff proposal and proposed state legislation regarding ADUs (HB 1337). The proposals differ in the following: the minimum threshold for maximum ADU size standards, number of ADUs, parking, and impact fees. Staff explained the proposed changes will be required if the Governor signs HB 1337. The Board Members were very interested in the changes that will be required by the State legislation. The questions asked were mainly about the Impact Fees for the first ADU then the amount for the second ADU, as well as what 4- the tax implications for building an ADU on current residential property will ° be. > 0 L Q BACKGROUND: a On June 1, 2021, City Council adopted the Kent Housing Options Plan (KHOP), which included data, engagement, strategies, and policies to a address housing needs in Kent. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) were included in KHOP as one housing option to help meet the needs of current M and future residents. o N O An ADU is a secondary (accessory) dwelling unit on the same lot as a L detached single-family residence that provides basic living, sleeping, eating, Q cooking, and sanitation requirements. It can be attached or detached from o the primary residence. ADUs are sometimes referred to as "in-law" units or � backyard cottages. Kent has allowed attached and detached accessory dwelling units since 1995. However, less than 30 ADUs have been permitted since 2010. During outreach for KHOP, staff heard from the community that ADUs are one of the a preferred options to help integrate housing units into single-family neighborhoods. ADUs were identified as high-priority implementation items in a KHOP. As such, staff applied for and received a Housing Action Plan Implementation Grant from the Department of Commerce for $80,000 to fund completion of this work before June 15, 2023. 5.

SUMMARY: The City has provided modest annual support to the Green River College Small Business Center (GRSBC) for many years, out of discretionary budget granted to the Economic development team from the general fund to improve the environment for entrepreneurship and small business incubation in the City of Kent. The GRSBC has proven to be an able and reliable partner in serving the small business community and in 2021 a pilot program was conducted whereby additional funding was provided through our Port of Seattle partnership to allow GRCSBC to expand their program and offer more complex technical services for space planning guidance and permit navigation assistance. Both successes and failures of GRCSBC clients illustrated the need for such assistance, and we propose to provide a portion of our ARPA funds to the GRCSBC to fund this expanded services model through the grant utilization period ending December 31, 2026.

SUMMARY: Business Impact Northwest: Targeted Business Services; Food Business Acceleration; Doing Business with City of Kent Accelerator Project Background: The contract will serve two interrelated projects: increasing availability of small business assistance and capacities to Kent and improving access and information about city vending and vendor contracting opportunities. The City of Kent has many opportunities to contract with businesses in the community and has already committed to increasing women and BIPOC participation in contracting and purchasing. One issue many cities struggle with is that diverse-owned businesses are active in their procurement portal but have yet to win a bid or contract successfully. This is often because these business owners must fully understand what the City of Kent procurement teams are evaluating when selecting contractors. These can be things such as needing to know how to present cash flow, secure the proper bonding, or even present the ability to articulate what their business does best succinctly. Business Impact NW is excited to work with the City of Kent to design and run a BIPOC accelerator to ensure diverse-owned businesses have all the education, tools, and resources to bid on city contracts successfully. There is also the opportunity for additional cities in South Sound to join this work, increasing access to opportunities for the accelerator businesses. Moreover, Business Impact Northwest will—working with local partners in the Kent community such as the Kent Chamber of Commerce—provide tailored technical assistance programming to City of Kent businesses to meet their needs. Through this project we can collaborate to promote equitable economic growth and opportunity, foster diversity and inclusion within the community, address historical Packet Pg. 11 5.6 inequities and systemic barriers, and create a support system for small business development. Business Impact Northwest is already operating the Food Business Resource Center and collaborating with the City and other non-profits in-and- around Kent on farm and food businesses. Part of this work will include continuing advancement of programs tailored to BIPOC and women entrepreneurs in the farm and food industries. Project Purpose: This project will be part of the Endeavor Northwest initiative created by The Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, to pioneer economic recovery to grow scalable BIPOC-owned businesses. Endeavor NW projects focus on connecting BIPOC business to market opportunities by identifying suppliers and procurements opportunities in the market and then illuminating the pathways to those opportunities. The program with the City of Kent will be training diverse-owned businesses to increase opportunities for success through the City of Kent contract bidding process as well as surrounding Kent Valley cities. Through this project, City of Kent will be a leader in promoting equitable economic growth and opportunity, fostering diversity and inclusion within the community, addressing historical inequities and systemic barriers, and create a support system for small business development. The contract is to provide tailored technical assistance programming to City of Kent businesses in order to meet their needs. Through this project we can collaborate to promote equitable economic growth and opportunity, foster diversity and inclusion within the community, address historical inequities and systemic barriers, and create a support system for small business development.

One issue many cities struggle with is that diverse-owned businesses are active in their procurement portal but have yet to win a bid or contract successfully.This is often because these business owners must fully understand what the City of Kent procurement teams are evaluating when selecting contractors. These can be things such as needing to know how to present cash flow, secure the proper bonding,or even present the ability to articulate what their business does best cynically. Business Impact NW is excited to work with The City of Kent to design and run a BIPOC accelerator i to ensure diverse-owned businesses have all the education,tools,and resources to bid on city contracts successfully.There is also the opportunity for other 2 cities in South Sound to join this work, increasing access to opportunities for the accelerator businesses. m Project Purpose: Q This project will be part of the Endeavor Northwest initiative created by The Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce,to pioneer economic recovery to a� grow scalable BIPOC-owned businesses. Endeavor NW projects focus on connecting BIPOC business to market opportunities by identifying suppliers and procurements opportunities in the market and then illuminating the pathways to those opportunities.The program with the City of Kent will be training diverse-owned businesses to increase opportunities for success through the City of Kent contract bidding process as well as surrounding Kent Valley cities. o Through this project,City of Kent will be a leader in promoting equitable economic growth and opportunity,fostering diversity and inclusion within the a U community,addressing historical inequities and systemic barriers,and create a support system for small business development. p a_ Qualifications: m c • Business Impact NW has been providing technical assistance for underserved entrepreneurs and small business owners for over 25 years with Y demonstrated success.Since 1997 our technical assistance department has served 19,940 clients, helped launch 1,390 new businesses,and created or o retained 17,257 jobs. r • Business Impact NW has provided several different business accelerators and incubators.

E t U r r Q Packet Pg. 36 5.B.b Project Overview Business Impact NW will work with the City of Kent to create an Accelerator that would include tailored 4-6 week training with wrap-around services to accelerate the diverse-owned ability to bid and win City contracts successfully.The program curriculum will cover general business basics and dive deep into Q what is needed to navigate and succeed as a City of Kent contractor(and other Kent Valley cities).All programming will be delivered virtually in a hybrid format a allowing maximum flexibility to business owners while still providing peer connections.

SUMMARY: Staff presented the draft ordinance on April 24, 2023, at a Land Use and Planning Board public hearing. LUPB recommended City Council adopt the proposed ordinance. BACKGROUND: On June 1, 2021, City Council adopted the Kent Housing Options Plan (KHOP), which included data, engagement, strategies, and policies to address housing needs in Kent. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) were included in KHOP as one housing option to help meet the needs of current and future residents. An ADU is an additional (accessory) dwelling unit on the same lot as a detached single-family residence that provides basic living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation requirements. It can be attached or detached from the primary residence. ADUs are sometimes called "in-law" units, casitas, or backyard cottages. Kent has allowed attached and detached accessory dwelling units since 1995. However, less than 30 ADUs have been permitted since 2010. Following adoption of KHOP, staff applied for and received a Housing Action Plan Implementation Grant from the Department of Commerce for $80,000 to fund an update to ADU development standards before June 15, 2023. ADU CODE UPDATE PROCESS: Outreach for this project was conducted in two phases. Phase I - background research occurred during fall of 2022. It included interviews with residents and professionals who have built or attempted to build ADUs in Kent. It was followed by a staff workshop to discuss current processes, identify known barriers to ADU construction, and identify implementation concerns for potential changes. Phase II was a survey to further refine development standards to reduce barriers to ADU construction based on feedback collected during creation of the Kent Housing Packet Pg. 45 5.0 Options Plan and Phase I outreach. Surveys were available online and in paper format in English and Spanish. 305 participants completed the survey from February 24 to April 3, 2023. Staff attended in-person events (such as the Kent Downtown Partnership Nerd Party), set up a table at Kent Commons and the Senior Center, and provided flyers to the YMCA and other organizations. Staff also attended existing community meetings. In addition, information about the project and survey was distributed via social media ad buys, the Mayor's weekly newsletter, postcards to a random sample of 500 households, and email blasts. Over 300 survey responses were received. Overall, survey findings highlighted an openness to change many existing policies related to ADUs. A summary of the community engagement efforts and findings is attached. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES: The attached draft ordinance includes the following proposed changes: 1. KCC 7.02.050: Water meters. • Adding flexibility to allow ADUs to be served by the same water meter and requiring a notice on title for future condo conversions. 2. 7.04.220: Sewer • Minor changes to service charge table for multiple ADUs. 3. KCC 12.14.070: Impact fees - Parks. • Codifying that the first ADU is considered part of the primary home's impact fees, and the second shall be charged 50% of the single-family impact fee rate. 4. KCC 12.16.090: Impact fees - Transportation. • Codifying that the first ADU is considered part of the primary home's impact fees, and the second shall be charged 50% of the single-family impact fee rate. 5. KCC 15.02.005: Definitions - Accessory Structure. • Removing ADU from accessory structure definition so that each section can stand alone. 6. KCC 15.02.114: Definitions - Duplex. • Clarifying ADUs are not duplexes under land use code for purposes of density and development regulations. 7. KCC 15.04.030.10: Cleanup • Removing reference to no longer relevant code section and clarifying residential design review. Packet Pg. 46 5.0 8. KCC 15.05.040: Parking. • Adding 1/4 mile distance from major transit exception to ADU parking and adding context to when the planning director can waive parking. 9. KCC 15.08.160: Cleanup. • Removing ADU from the accessory building section in favor of having all the ADU regulations in one place. 10.KCC 15.08.250: ADU regulations • Two ADUs per lot • Allowance of up to 1,000 SF per ADU • Configurations allowed for ADUs • Locational criteria on the lot • Height limit of 24' and exceptions • Design and prohibited materials • Gross floor area calculations and exceptions • Cross reference to parking requirements • Applicable development standards outside of this chapter • Removal of owner occupancy requirements • Permitting requirements • Separate homeownership via condominium allowance • Allowance of deviations for existing structures • Deviation request criteria EXHIBITS: 1.

Engaging the 0 Y community is crucial to any planning process, particularly for a topic as personal as housing. It was essential that Kent residents' perspectives were sought, heard, and integrated into the policy direction for the City. In order to effectively reduce barriers, the project team listened to issues through the lens of the c� public, residents, and professionals who have attempted to build ADUs. Q Outreach for this project was conducted in two phases. The first phase consisted of research into the existing landscape of ADUs in Kent, including interviews with individuals who have attempted or successfully complete ADU construction in the city. Phase two was a community survey to test concepts for proposed changes to reduce barriers in existing code language. These survey findings build upon information gathered during the robust engagement process that informed the Kent Housing Options Plan creation in 2020 and 2021. Packet Pg. 49 5.C.a Key Takeaways Engagement for this project included targeted interviews with homeowners who have built ADUs, a staff workshop at the City of Kent, and a community survey. This engagement highlighted openness to change in many existing policies related to ADUs. A summary of findings from these engagement efforts identifies particular areas for consideration for decreasing barriers to the construction of ADUs in Kent. 0 Phase One: Interviews & Staff Workshop Q Interviews with six people identified existing barriers that could be removed to encourage more ADU c construction in Kent. Takeaways from these conversations include: �a L ■ Code language related to fire separation was a barrier identified in multiple interviews. c ■ The owner occupancy restriction was also identified as a barrier. M c ■ Extensive requirements and conflicting codes could be frustrating. 3 ■ Parking requirements are cost-prohibitive or impossible to comply with, eliminating the potential to L construct an ADU. 0 Cn M a) A two-hour workshop was held with Kent staff actively involved in permitting and construction. This discussion focused on identifying elements of the code that create barriers to constructing and permitting Q ADUs. Takeaways from this discussion include: M ■ There was a general consensus that impact fees could be reduced due to an ADU's nature as M subordinate to a single-family home. N • Staff agreed that changes to design standards should allow for more flexibility with alternate unit N types. Design standards included height, size allowances, materials, and roof pitch guidance. 0. Q ■ Development standards for site design could be studied for changes, including topics such as curb >; L cuts, subordinate entrance requirements, lot placement guidelines, and setback standards. f° E E ■ The owner-occupancy restriction is too difficult to enforce. cn ■ Parking restrictions could better adapt to the nuance of project location and details. Limiting garages from counting as parking spaces was a significant barrier. U) r c a� Phase Two: Community Survey Y r A community survey related to ADUs in Kent received 307 responses. Respondents were predominantly E E single-family homeowners who live in Kent. They represent a range of age groups, primarily ages 25 R and older. Those identifying as White are overrepresented in survey responses (68% of respondents Q versus 37% of the overall population), while Asian, Hispanic, and Black residents are underrepresented (22% of survey respondents versus 52% of the total population).' Total population estimates based on 2020 Census results,Table P2,for the City of Kent Packet Pg. 50 5.C.a • 56% of respondents are neutral or support allowing ADU residents to use street parking to make it easier for homeowners to add ADUs to their property. • 57% of respondents support or are neutral toward removing the existing height limits for detached ADUs to allow ADUs taller than the primary home. • 60% of respondents are neutral or support allowing homeowners to build two ADUs on a single property (one attached and one detached). r a ■ When asked about maximum square feet for ADU units, 50% of respondents support up to 800 SF, 0 45% support up to 1,200 SF, and 30% support up to 1,500 SF. 1 3% reported being unsure. Q m • 23% of respondents said they would consider converting their garage into an ADU. c ■ Top reasons that respondents say they would consider having an ADU are rental income (44%) to 'a offset increased housing and property tax costs and to provide housing aging family members c (42%). M a� c m 3 0 L 0 Ln Ln a� Q M M LO M M N O N N C Q Q L E E v/ vJ r C Y r c a) E t v R Q Packet Pg. 51 5.C.a Phase One: Interviews & Staff Workshop The first phase of engagement for this project included interviews with residents and professionals who have built or attempted to build ADUs in Kent, followed by a staff workshop to discuss current processes, identify known barriers to ADU production, and identify implementation concerns for various potential changes. r a Interviews Q The City of Kent records identify 33 existing ADUs in the community. These include garage conversions or additions (18), units attached to the main home (8), basement conversions (4), and separate backyard units (3). Permits for these units date from 2003-2022. There are an additional 17 homeowners who started the permit process for an ADU but ultimately did not complete the build. These 50 addresses p were the pool of potential interviewees contacted for feedback on their experiences and ideas for process improvements to encourage more ADU construction in Kent. Ultimately, five interviews were held: M M c 1 . One homeowner who has been unable to complete their ADU build successfully E 3 2. One homeowner/architect pair who was finishing an ADU build 3. One homeowner with an existing converted basement unit with the desire to build an attic unit in a N new home Q 4. One homeowner with a mother-in-law suite-style ADU M M 5. Habitat for Humanity staff who work in Kent and surrounding communities M M These interviews occurred in the fall of 2022 (September — December). Questions identified project N 0 length and costs, motivation for building an ADU, barriers encountered during the permitting and building N process, and ideas for improving existing code. `*4 •L Key takeaways include: Q ■ Requirements for fire separation and confusion between an ADU vs. duplex was a barrier identified in multiple interviews. Suggestions for improvement highlight the desire for clearer E E guidelines and better/faster communication from the City. In one case of incomplete ADU plans, the homeowner desires to structure their house as a caregiver to adult disabled children. Still, the cost and complexity of required fire separation have made the project infeasible. it • The owner occupancy restriction was identified as barriers that should be considered for removal. These restrictions were called out as unresponsive to the various life circumstances that Y r might surface for a homeowner. Specific examples cited: owning a home with a basement ADU but moving out due to divorce; being unable to rent the ADU while downsizing to move into a retirement home; wanting to incorporate an attic unit for a caregiver; and as a detached unit for family visitors. Q ■ Extensive requirements and conflicting codes could be frustrating. There are inconsistencies between building and zoning code. For example, a plans examiner might comment on improving the construction of an ADU, but then their recommendations might conflict with zoning code language. This added time, back-and-forth, and frustration to the building process. Packet Pg. 52 5.C.a ■ Parking requirements are cost-prohibitive or impossible to comply with, eliminating the potential to construct an ADU. While ADU residents may desire parking spaces, the cost of adding them to meet code requirements often kills the ADU project. Additionally, since Kent does not count garages towards parking requirements, there is often insufficient space on lots to add additional parking and comply with all other requirements (such as stormwater, impervious area, etc.). Staff Workshop r a In October 2022, a staff workshop was held to establish a shared understanding of the ADU project and 0 to discuss code elements that may create barriers to constructing and permitting ADUs in Kent. Nine staff Q members attended, representing various aspects of permitting and construction review process. coi c The two-hour workshop was preceded by a survey to identify areas where staff were in alignment and = topics with identified concerns to help focus the conversation. The topics raised at this workshop included 0 clarifying definitions for various structure types, impact fees, the design review process, zoning code language for site planning, policy restrictions such as owner-occupancy and multiple ADUs on a property, M M parking, and how tiny homes are considered in the ADU code. m Key takeaways from this group discussion include: o ■ There was a consensus that impact fees should be further reviewed. Staff pointed out the o imbalance that a large single-family home addition does not increase impact fees, while an ADU N a� addition to a small home adds a high level of fees. Considerations for any needed fee backfills and Q conversations with partners were identified as the next steps. LO M ■ Staff agreed that changes to design standards should allow for more flexibility with alternate unit types. This includes height, size allowances, materials, and roof pitch guidance. Kent City Code N has the same requirements for ADUs and accessory structures, which results in problems. Staff agreed N it is important to distinguish between ADUs and accessory structures. There was a desire to clarify C*4 differences between safety standards and aesthetic-oriented language, with more flexibility to Q reduce aesthetic design barriers. Q L ■ Zoning code language for site design could be carefully revisited. Curb cuts, subordinate entrance requirements, lot placement guidelines, and setback standards were all discussed as potential areas E for changes. A look at code requirements from peer communities was desired to help this process. y aD • The owner-occupancy restriction is too difficult to enforce. If it is removed, staff recommend 3 identifying a process to remove existing covenants on previously approved ADUs. Other restrictions, c such as only one ADU per property, may require more research to galvanize public support for Y change. a� • Parking restrictions could better adapt to the nuance of project location and details. Due to U existing state law, projects within 114 mile of transit are not allowed to require parking for ADUs. As CU previously mentioned, Kent does not allow a garage to count as parking, which is a unique Q requirement that surrounding cities do not have. Additional considerations related to parking include differences for properties with multiple ADUs, allowing garages to count toward parking totals, and a desire to compare Kent's policies with neighboring communities. Packet Pg. 53 5.C.a Phase Two: Community Survey The City of Kent conducted a survey to gather feedback from the community about a suite of code revisions affecting the siting, construction, and permitting of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Surveys were available online and in paper format in English and Spanish. Three hundred seven (307) participants completed the survey from February 24 to April 3, 2023. The promotional methods for the survey included: a 0 ■ The Downtown Kent Nerd Party, Q ■ Postcard mailer, R • Social media ad buys, L ■ Tabling at the Kent Commons and Kent Senior Center, c ■ Listsery emails and strategic outreach to local community organizations, c ■ Previous ADU permit applicants and all persons who sent emails about ADUs to the planning inbox within the past year, and ■ In-person outreach with the Hispanic Advisory Team. 0 a� Education on what an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is and how they can be used was integral to success during outreach events. Staff discovered many misconceptions about ADUs in the community, what they Q are used for, and how they impact the community. LO Location of Respondents N 0 96% of respondents are based in Kent, across the four zip codes of the City.

City-wide, only 56% of households are owner-occupied.3 Three respondents reported not having housing currently, and two reported "Other" as their housing status. N 0 N Off-Street Parking N Parking was one of the most compelling issues to address with the survey, as during phase one outreach, L Q. we heard that the requirement for extra parking could be a limiting factor to the completion of an ADU Q I project. The City has enforced a Director's Interpretation that garages cannot count towards parking spaces. Research indicated that this is a unique requirement in Kent, and no other cities in the region have E this same standard. To determine whether the parking requirements were truly a barrier, CAST y Architecture analyzed multiple neighborhoods, revealing that under the city's current parking regulations, 95% of single-family properties would be unable to build an ADU if required to provide one additional 3 parking space. U) r c Aside from addressing the garageinconsistency, it was also important to ask residents about on-street Y parking as a viable option due to potential changes in the state legislature and sites that would still have difficulty meeting the parking requirement due to lack of onsite space. Respondents were asked whether E they would support allowing residents who build an ADU on their property to use street parking. On a scale of one to five (with five indicating strong support to allow on-street parking), the average (mean) Q response score was 3.0. 2 ACS 5-year Estimates,Table DP04, 2021 3 ACS 5-year Estimates,Table DP04, 2021 Packet Pg. 55 5.C.a Survey Question 4: Kent requires homeowners who build an ADU to include one additional off-street parking space for every ADU constructed.

Respondents were asked which resources from the city would be helpful if they were deciding whether to build an additional dwelling unit (ADU) on their property. This helps City staff prioritize implementation efforts. The majority of respondents, 85%, said documents that clearly explain the process for permitting and building an ADU would be helpful. The second most popular resource was a a pre-approved ADU design, which would reduce architecture costs and expedite permitting (79% o support).

Additionally, garage conversions are the most cost-effective option for creating an ADU. Survey Question 9: Would you consider converting your garage into an ADU?

Given the feedback received at in-person events, it was clear to staff it was assumed ADUs would be a major impact on their neighborhoods. To accurately respond to these concerns, staff needed to know what most people would use these for. Respondents were asked E E what they would use an additional dwelling unit (ADU) for if they had access to one tomorrow. Over half i) of respondents indicated they would use the ADU as a residence for a family member- either for parents 4) or their adult children. 44% of respondents indicated that they would use the ADU as a rental unit for 3 U) additional income, especially to help offset increased costs of housing and property taxes. 11% of respondents reported using the ADU for "Other" purposes, including situations for home caregivers and Y renting at a discount to friends. a� E c� Q Packet Pg. 60 5.C.a Survey Question 10: If you had access to an ADU tomorrow, what would you use it for?
