Kent, WA 98032-5895 May 6, 2013 To: Jack Ottini, Chair and Land Use and Planning Board Members From: Gloria Gould-Wessen, AICP, GIS Coordinator/Long Range Planner Subject: Downtown Subarea Action Plan & PAO (CPZ/CPA-2012-1) (KIVA-2120882) Workshop - May 13, 2013 INTRODUCTION: The Downtown Subarea Action Plan (DSAP) and targeted Planned Action Ordinance (PAO) for downtown Kent follows through on a strategic goal of Kent City Council to create neighborhood urban centers. The DSAP is structured to reflect the City's Comprehensive Plan, will present new action items, and will have a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS), all necessary for a PAO and Mixed Use/Residential Infill Exemption that will streamline the permit process. During the year long public process to develop DSAP action items, a number of land use plan map amendments were identified for ensuring consistency between development regulations and the Comprehensive Plan, and rezones were identified for increasing the diversity and density of urban uses in Downtown. The workshop will focus on these proposed land use plan map amendments and rezones. SUMMARY: On June 25, 2012, staff presented to the Land Use & Planning Board (LU&PB) an overview of the DSAP and PAO project, followed up on October 22, 2012 with an overview of the project's public involvement efforts, and on March 11, 2013 with an update on preliminary outcomes. The project is grounded by the DSAP Planning Principles (see March 11, 2013 LU&PB packet), and the extensive public involvement efforts provided direction for the creation of DSAP's goals, policies, and strategic actions. The following draft action item guides the proposed land use plan map amendments and rezones: Expand the diversity and density of uses in Downtown to support a vibrant urban environment and ensure regulatory consistency. The DSAP Steering Committee, administration, and department staff have reviewed the proposed rezones and amendments. Staff will present six (6) land use plan map amendments; five (5) land use plan map amendments with associated rezones; and two (2) rezones (see Attachment C for detail summary sheets and maps). If there are any questions prior to the workshop, please contact Gloria Gould-Wessen at 253.856.5441.

ATTACHMENT C Summary Sheets and Maps of all Proposed Amendments and Rezones May 13, 2013 Land Use & Planning Board Workshop Land Use Plan Map Amendment Site Number: LU-1 Site Name: Washington & James (Green Tree Court Apts.) Tax Parcel Number: 3832000218 Address: 720 Washington Ave N Existing Land Use Plan Map Designation Definition: Industrial (I) The Industrial designation is an area for manufacturing and warehouse uses. However, office and business park development is allowed in this area, as are certain types of retail uses which serve the surrounding manufacturing and office park uses, and bulk retail.' Existing Zoning Districts Designation: Medium Density Multifamily Residential (MR-M) Site Description: This is a single 0.5 acre parcel. The land is flat, located in the Kent Valley, and unencumbered by environmentally sensitive areas. The existing use is a 17-unit apartment. Surrounding uses include multifamily, commercial, and light manufacturing. Several transit options are available along Washington Avenue N. and James Street. Discussion of Potential Amendments: The GMA requires consistency between the comprehensive plan and development regulations. The existing Industrial (I) land use plan map designation and Medium Density Multifamily Residential (MR-M) zoning districts designation on this site are inconsistent. The inconsistency can be traced back to the 1995 Zoning Districts map and the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, although there is no explanation for the discrepancy. Alternatives 1 and 2 create consistency and support the existing multifamily use. Alternatives: No Action Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Land Use Plan Industrial (I) Urban Center (UC) Medium Density Designation Multifamily MDMF Allowed Uses Manufacturing, warehouse, Retail office residential Multifamily at 17-23 office ark, and some retail du/acre and single-family Maintains inconsistency Results in consistency; Results in consistency Outcome between comprehensive revise Land Use Element between comprehensive Table 4.1 to include MR-M plan and zoning zonin in UC plan and zoning Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends Alternative 1: Amend the land use plan designation from Industrial (I) to Urban Center (UC), and amend the Comprehensive Plan Table 4.1 to allow MR-M within the Urban Center (UC). This amendment will bring the comprehensive plan land use map and zoning districts map into consistency; support the present multifamily residential use; and expand the regional growth center to better align Kent's Comprehensive Plan planning goal to "Ensure opportunities for affordable housing in close proximity to employment, public transportation, and human services."with the GMA, VISION 2040, and Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs). To expand the uses at this site would require consolidation of properties to deal with access issues related to the James Street intersection and the curve of Washington Avenue. Alternative 2 would also bring the land use plan map and zoning districts map into consistency, and would support the existing residential use, but it would not contribute to meeting the household and employment targets for an urban center. 12004 Comprehensive Plan: Land Use Element—Definition of Map Designations.

Existing Zoning Districts Designation: Mobile Home Park (MHP) Site Description: There are three (3) affected parcels totaling 2.2 acres. Tax parcel 5436200285 has a split land use plan map designation of Mobile Home Park (MHP) and Mixed-Use (MU), and a split zoning districts map of Mobile Home Park (MHP) and General Commercial (GC). The land is flat, located in the Kent Valley, and unencumbered by environmentally sensitive areas. The existing use is a mobile home park with 40 platforms for mobiles or recreational vehicles and one manager's apartment. Surrounding uses are primarily commercial and self-storage. Transit options are available along Washington Avenue N. Discussion of Potential Amendments: The expansion of Kent's regional growth center west of SR-167 would encompass this mobile home park which is owned by the non-profit group Manufactured Housing Communities Preservationist. No demand to rezone or change the use on the property is expected. Alternatives: No Action Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Land Use Plan Mobile Home Park (MHP) Urban Center (UC) None Designation Allowed Uses Mobile home park Retail, office, residential Maintains inconsistency Supports GMA; revise Land Outcome between comprehensive Use Element Table 4.1 to plan and zoning include MHP zoning in UC Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends Alternative 1: Amend the land use designation from Mobile Home Park (MHP) to Urban Center (UC). This amendment will expand the regional growth center to better align Kent's Comprehensive Plan planning goal to "Ensure opportunities for affordable housing in close proximity to employment, public transportation, and human services."with the GMA, VISION 2040, and Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs). This alternative is supported by the Comprehensive Plan's planning goal to "Ensure opportunities for affordable housing in close proximity to employment, public transportation, and human services."

In the city limits, there are two designations: Low Density Multifamily (LDMF) and Medium Density Multifamily (MDMF). The Low Density Multifamily designation allows development densities of up to 16 dwelling units per acre, while the Medium Density Multifamily designation allows densities of 17-23 dwelling units per acre. In Kent's PAA of Unincorporated King County, a multifamily designation of Urban Residential, High (UR12+) allows 18-48 dwelling units per acre.1 Existing Zoning Districts Designation: Medium Density Multifamily Residential (MD-M) Site Description: The site is SR-516 right-of-way (ROW) from Washington Avenue N. to 64th Avenue S to the centerline. The City's GIS mapping standard is to extend the land use plan or zoning districts designation boundaries to the adjacent ROW centerline. The existing MRMF designation is an exception, and the proposed amendment would correct this mapping anomaly. Discussion of Potential Amendments: The expansion of Kent's regional growth center west of SR-167 would include this portion of SR-516.

The Mixed-Use designation is distinguished from the Urban Center designation in that the Mixed- Use areas do not allow as much density as the Urban Center area. All residential development within a Mixed-Use area must be a component of a retail or office development.' Existing Zoning Districts Designation: Limited Industrial (M2), with some split zoning of General Commercial (GC) and General Commercial Mixed-Use (GC-MU) Site Description: There are eight (8) affected parcels totaling approximately 15.2 acres. The land is flat, located in the Kent Valley, with five (5) parcels identified by FEMA as within the 100-year flood. The existing uses are retail, warehouse, service, residential and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail line. Surrounding uses are primarily commercial in nature with Kent Memorial Park located to the east. Several transit options are available along Central Avenue and James Street. Discussion of Potential Amendments: The GMA requires consistency between the comprehensive plan and development regulations. The existing land use plan map designation of Mixed-Use (MU) and the zoning designation of Limited Industrial (M2) are inconsistent. The site's land use plan map and zoning districts map designations also have split designations on six (6) of the eight (8) parcels. The inconsistency can be traced back to the 1995 Zoning Districts map and the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, although there is no explanation for the discrepancy. Alternative 1 creates consistency and supports the existing uses. Alternative 2 would require a rezone of Limited Industrial (M2) to General Commercial Mixed-Use (GC- MU), making the land use and zoning consistent, however the existing light industrial and warehousing uses would become nonconforming with a GC-MU designation Alternatives: No Action Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Land Use Plan Mixed-Use (MU) Industrial (I) Mixed-Use (MU) Designation Manufacturing, warehouse, Allowed Uses Retail, office, and office, business park, and Retail, office, and residential s residential some retail Maintains inconsistency Supports GMA; amends Requires a REZONE to Outcome between comprehensive comprehensive plan; results result in consistency plan and zoning in consistency with zoning between comprehensive Ian and zoning Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends Alternative 1: Amend the land use plan map designation from Mixed-Use (MU) to Industrial (I). This will create consistency between the land use plan map and the existing zoning districts designations, and will support the existing light manufacturing uses. Kent's Comprehensive Plan Economic Development policy ED-4.1 to "Protect the existing inventory of industrial parcels from conversion to non-industrial uses."supports Alternative 1, as well as supports the GMA, VISION 2040, and Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) concerning urban jobs. Alternative 2 would create some nonconforming uses and jeopardize the leasing of properties to industrial and warehousing uses in the future. 12004 Comprehensive Plan: Land Use Element—Definition of Map Designations.

In Kent's PAA of Unincorporated King County, a multifamily designation of Urban Residential, High (UR12+) allows 18-48 dwelling units per acre.' Existing Zoning Districts Designation: Medium Density Multifamily Residential (MR-M) Site Description: This site consists of a 13-unit condominium on 0.65 acres (that consists of a split land use plan map designation and a split zoning district; see also LU-8 and Z-8) and a 4-plex on 0.35 acres. The land is flat, located in the Kent Valley, and unencumbered by environmentally sensitive areas. The existing uses are residential. Surrounding uses are primarily commercial and residential.

All residential development within a Mixed-Use area must be a component of a retail or office development.' Existing Zoning Districts Designation: General Commercial (GC) Site Description: This site consists of 49 tax parcels totaling approximately 81.7 acres. The land is flat, located in the Kent Valley, and unencumbered by environmentally sensitive areas. The existing uses are generally commercial, services, and residential, with some vacant parcels. Surrounding uses are primarily commercial and residential with some industrial to the north. Several transit options are available. Discussion of Potential Amendments: Expansion of Kent's regional growth center west of SR-167 by amending the site to Urban Center (UC) would be consistent with the existing Mixed-Use (MU) designation and would expand the allowed uses to a higher-density. The 1995 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Districts map illustrate the site area as Mixed-Use (MU) and General Commercial (GC) with the exception of a small Mobile Home Park that was rezoned to GC during the past decade.

Existing Land Use Plan Map Designation: Mixed-Use (MU) Site Description: This site consists of 49 tax parcels totaling approximately 81.7 acres. The land is flat, located in the Kent Valley, and unencumbered by environmentally sensitive areas. The existing uses are generally commercial, services, and residential, with some vacant parcels. Surrounding uses are primarily commercial and residential with some industrial to the north. Several transit options are available. Discussion of Potential Amendments: Rezone the existing General Commercial (GC) to General Commercial Mixed-Use (GC-MU). The existing Mixed-Use (MU) land use plan map designation supports the rezone, and if the Mixed-Use (MU) designation is amended to Urban Center (UC) as proposed by Site Number LU-7, it also will support this rezone. Alternatives: No Action Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Zoning Districts General Commercial General Commercial Mixed- None Designation GC Use (GC-MU) Allowed Uses Retail, office, services Retail, office, residential Outcome Maintains zoning Rezone expands allowed uses to include residential Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends Alternative 1: Rezone the site from General Commercial (GC) to General Commercial Mixed-Use (GC-MU). This rezone is supported by the existing land use plan map designation of Mixed- Use (MU). The proposed land use plan map amendment for this same area to Urban Center (UC) would also support the proposed rezone to General Commercial Mixed-Use (GC-MU). This alternative is supported by the Comprehensive Plan's planning goal to "Ensure opportunities for affordable housing in close proximity to employment, public transportation, and human services"and would contribute to accommodating housing and employment growth targets set forth in VISION 2040 and the Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs).

The Mixed-Use designation is distinguished from the Urban Center designation in that the Mixed- Use areas do not allow as much density as the Urban Center area. All residential development within a Mixed-Use area must be a component of a retail or office development.' Existing Zoning Districts Designation: General Commercial (GC) Site Description: This site consists of a 13-unit condominium on 0.65 acres. The parcel has a split zoning district and a split land use plan map designation (see also Site Number LU-6). The land is flat, located in the Kent Valley, and unencumbered by environmentally sensitive areas. The existing use is residential. Surrounding uses are generally commercial to the south and east and residential to the west. Several transit options are available along Washington Avenue N and James Street. Discussion of Potential Amendments: This site has a split land use plan map designation of Mixed-Use (MU) and Medium Density Multifamily (MDMF) (see also Site Number LU-6). The 1995 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map illustrates the aforementioned split and the 1995 Zoning Districts map illustrates a split between General Commercial (GC) and Medium Density Multifamily Residential (MR-M). There is no explanation for the mapping discrepancy. Alternative 1 eliminates the split designation, supports the existing residential use, maintains consistency between land use plan and zoning districts maps, and expands the existing uses into the Urban Center (UC) which supports compliance with VISION 2040 and Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs). Alternative 2 does the same, but does not add to compliance with VISION 2040 and CPPs.

This amendment will expand the regional growth center to better align Kent's intent to accommodate a proportional amount of housing and employment growth targets in the Urban Center with VISION 2040 and the Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs). The amendment also is supported by the Comprehensive Plan's planning goal to "Ensure opportunities for affordable housing in close proximity to employment, public transportation, and human services." The split land use plan map designation would be eliminated (also see Alternative 1: Site Number LU-6). Alternative 2 would eliminate the split land use plan map designation (also see Alternative 1: Site Number LU-6), but would not contribute to meeting the housing and employment growth targets in the Urban Center. 12004 Comprehensive Plan: Land Use Element—Definition of Map Designations.

Surrounding uses are generally commercial to the south and east and residential to the west. Several transit options are available along Washington Avenue N and James Street. Discussion of Potential Amendments: This site has a split zoning districts designation of General Commercial (GC) and Medium Density Multifamily Residential (MR-M). The split designation can be traced back to the 1995 Zoning Districts map and the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. There is no explanation for the mapping discrepancy. Alternative 1 eliminates the split zoning districts designation, supports the existing residential use, and maintains consistency between land use plan and zoning districts maps. There is no Alternative 2.

This rezone supports the existing residential use. This rezone is supported by Land Use Plan Map amendment to Urban Center (UC) (see Alternative 1: Site Number LU- 6 and LU-8) or by Land Use Plan Map amendment to Medium Density Multifamily (MDMF) (see Alternative 2: Site Number LU-6 and LU-8).

However, office and business park development is allowed in this area, as are certain types of retail uses which serve the surrounding manufacturing and office park uses, and bulk retail.' Existing Zoning Districts Designation: Limited Industrial (M2) Site Description: This site consists of three (3) tax parcels totaling approximately 5.0 acres. The land is flat, located in the Kent Valley, and unencumbered by environmentally sensitive areas. The existing uses are truck repair, utility ROW, and the Union Pacific rail line. Surrounding uses are SR-167, parking, and ShoWare and Regional Justice Center. Several transit options are available along James Street. Discussion of Potential Amendments: This site is a remnant of industrial designations and uses that were segregated by SR-167 from the industrial land uses to the north. The 1995 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map illustrates the site as Community Facility, and the 1995 Zoning Districts map illustrates the site as Limited Industrial (112). In 2007 the land use plan map designation was amended to Industrial (I). Alternative 1 enlarges the regional growth center (i.e., changes the land use plan map designation from Industrial [I] to Urban Center [UC]) and would propose a rezone from Limited Industrial (M2) to General Commercial Mixed- Use (GC-MU) (see Site Number Z-9). The existing commercial uses would be allowed under the new designation. Alternatives: No Action Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Land Use Plan Industrial (I) Urban Center (UC) None Designation Manufacturing, warehouse, Allowed Uses office, business park, and Retail, office, residential some retail Supports GMA; amends Outcome Maintains existing land use comprehensive plan; results in a REZONE to General Commercial Mixed-Use GC-MU Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends Alternative 1: Amend the land use plan map designation from Industrial (I) to Urban Center (UC). This amendment will expand the regional growth center to better align Kent's intent to accommodate a proportional amount of housing and employment growth targets in the Urban Center with VISION 2040 and Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs). This alternative is supported by the Comprehensive Plan's planning goal to "Ensure opportunities for affordable housing in close proximity to employment, public transportation, and human services." To avoid inconsistency between the proposed land use plan map designation and existing zoning districts designation, a rezone will be necessary (see Site Number Z-9).

The land is flat, located in the Kent Valley, and unencumbered by environmentally sensitive areas. The existing uses are a special events arena and a neighborhood park. Surrounding uses are SR-167 to the north, municipal uses to the south, railroad and utilities to the west, and residential and commercial to the east. Transit options are available along James Street. Discussion of Potential Amendments: This site is a remnant of industrial designations and uses that were segregated by SR-167 from the industrial land uses to the north. The 1995 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map illustrates the site as Community Facility and the 1995 Zoning Districts map illustrates the site as Limited Industrial (M2). In 2004 the Community Facility designation was eliminated and the designation changed to Open Space. In 2009, a Special Use Combining District (SU) was imposed over the existing zoning to facilitate the construction of ShoWare Center. Alternative 1 enlarges the regional growth center and amends the Land Use Plan Map to Urban Center (UC) with an associated proposed rezone from Limited Industrial (M2) to General Commercial Mixed-Use (GC-MU) (see Site Number Z-10).

In the city limits, there are two designations: Low Density Multifamily (LDMF) and Medium Density Multifamily (MDMF). The Low Density Multifamily designation allows allow multifamily and single-family residential development densities of up to 16 dwelling units per acre, while the Medium Density Multifamily designation allows densities of 17-23 dwelling units per acre. In Kent's PAA of Unincorporated King County, a multifamily designation of Urban Residential, High (UR12+) allows 18-48 dwelling units per acre.' Existing Zoning Districts Designation: Multifamily Residential Townhouse (MRT-16) Site Description: This site consists of 51 tax parcels totaling approximately 8.7 acres. The land is flat, located in the Kent Valley, and unencumbered by environmentally sensitive areas. There are 44 single-family residences, five (5) duplexes, and two (2) parcels that make up a small neighborhood park. Surrounding uses are residential, ShoWare and Kent Station. Discussion of Potential Amendments: Expansion of Kent's regional growth center by amending the site to Urban Center (UC) would allow the existing and future residential to be counted as part of the Urban Center's housing target. The existing MRT-16 is a transition to the Downtown Commercial Enterprise (DCE) zoning district. The 1995 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map illustrates the site as Medium Density Multifamily and the 1995 Zoning Districts map illustrates the site area with a variety of multifamily zoning districts. The existing land use plan map and zoning districts maps were established in 2006.

With the entire block zoned DCE, the investment community can consolidate properties, develop a marketable product with a face on James Street and ShoWare, and provide retail and services for the adjoining residential community. The rezone will align Kent's intent to accommodate a proportional amount of housing and employment growth targets in the Urban Center with VISION 2040 and the Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs).

In the DC area, permitted uses should be primarily pedestrian-oriented and able to take advantage of on- street and structured off-street parking lots.' Existing Land Use Plan Map Designation: Urban Center (UC) Site Description: This site consists of 28 tax parcels totaling approximately 2.2 acres. The land is flat, located in the Kent Valley, and unencumbered by environmentally sensitive areas. The existing use are retail, office, residential, and small parks, with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail line along the eastern edge. This site is surrounded by similar commercial and residential uses. Discussion of Potential Amendments: This site is located in the center of historic downtown Kent. There are few historic buildings along Meeker and those that remain have been seriously altered or neglected. The 1995 Zoning Districts map illustrates the site as Downtown Commercial (DC) and on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map the area is designated City Center, the predecessor to today's Urban Center (UC).

This rezone will facilitate the market towards redevelopment. In the past decade, new construction and remodeling has occurred to further change the character of Meeker. Downtown Design Guidelines will preserve the pedestrian-oriented character of this site while allowing greater development options within Downtown Commercial Enterprise (DCE). Redevelopment in this site area will further Kent's intent to accommodate a proportional amount of housing and employment growth targets within the Urban Center.

Kent, WA 98032-5895 May 6, 2013 TO: Chair Jack Ottini and Land Use & Planning Board Members FROM: Katie Graves, Planner RE: Code Amendments [ZCA-2013-1] For May 13, 2013 Workshop SUMMARY: Planning Services is submitting for Board consideration another group of potential amendments; in this case those related to residential facilities, group care, and group living facilities in Kent City Code Title 15, Zoning. This section of code needs amending to clarify definitions for different types of residential facilities, update the residential land use table, remove ambiguity in the code, and update the code for consistency with state laws and regulations. Staff will review a preliminary list of these items at the May 13th workshop. BACKGROUND: Local planning legislation arises from many sources - Federal, State or regional mandates; changes to local community vision; complaints; need for clarity; updated technologies, business operations or strategies that make existing codes outdated; conflicts with updated codes in other City departments; and many others. Furthermore, these amendments are undertaken as part of the City Council's initiative to transform regulatory processes in order to increase operating efficiencies. Group care or group living facilities may be broadly categorized as single or multiple family residential, emergency and transitional housing, criminal justice facilities, and group care facilities with or without healthcare. Attached are potential code amendments to be discussed.

Attachment A: Potential Code Amendments related to Residential Facilities, Group Care, and Group Living Facilities: 1. Update definition of "Family": Retain limit of 6 unrelated persons including resident staff, and include reference to Federal Fair Housing Act. 2. Clarify definition of "Transitional Housing", and allow these facilities in the same zones as Class I-C group homes? Covington, King County, Newcastle, Sammamish, Shoreline, Snoqualmie, and Woodinville all have a very similar definition: "Transitional housing facilities: Housing units owned by public housing authorities, nonprofit organizations or other public interest groups that provide housing to persons on a temporary basis for a duration not to exceed 24 months in conjunction with job training, self sufficiency training, and human services counseling; the purpose of which is to help persons make the transition from homelessness to placement in permanent housing.' 3. Group Homes: In order to comply with the Federal Fair Housing Act, Class I-A group homes need to be principally permitted in the CM-1 and CM-2 zones, because single-family homes are principally permitted in those zones. 4. Create line item in use table for "Secure Community Transition Facility" - it's now only shown in note for Group Homes Class III. 5. Multifamily dwellings for senior citizens: eliminate this item in the use table. See also note #6, below. 6. Expand definition of "dwelling, multiple family" to "include independent senior housing for individuals 60 years or older as defined by Washington State Law." 7. Remove "welfare facilities" from residential use table, and instead provide line items for different types of facilities. 8. Allow emergency shelters via Conditional Use Permit in certain zones only, or allow in the same zones as Class I-C group homes? Clarify terms and definition to include temporary and permanent shelters. 9. Remove definition for "convalescent home" and "congregate care facilities" and instead provide definition for "assisted living facilities" or "residential facilities with health care." This may include references to Washington State Law definitions for boarding home, nursing home, continuing care retirement community, or respite care. Clarify that such uses do not include group homes. 10.Allow residential facilities with health care in the same zones as hospitals and/or via conditional use permit in residential zones. 11.Allow assisted living facilities in same areas as multifamily uses.
