RE: Land Use Plan and Zoning District Map Amendments [CPA-2011-
3/CPZ-2011-1] [KIVA#2142820/2142822]
For Workshop on January 26, 2015
MOTION: None required — for information only.
SUMMARY: On September 1, 2014, the City of Kent received applications for
docketing Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Map amendments for properties
located in five areas of the City. Staff proposed consideration of additional map
amendments. At their November 10, 2014 meeting, the Economic & Community
Development Committee recommended consideration of four of the docketed map
amendments as well as the staff proposed map amendments during the 2014-15
update to the Kent Comprehensive Plan. On November 18, 2014 the City Council
concurred with that recommendation.
BACKGROUND:
#DKT-2014-4 — Change in Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Map
designations for a 2.3-acre parcel (768280-0195) located at 2526 S 272nd
Street from LDMF (Low Density Multifamily)/MRT-16 (Multifamily
Residential Townhouse) to MU (Mixed Use)/CC-MU (Community
Commercial-Mixed Use).
Applicant (Agent): Baljit Singh and Amritpal S. Sahoter
EXISTING DESIGNATIONS PROPOSED CHANGE
Land Use Plan Map LDMF (Low Density Multifamily) MU (Mixed Use)
Zoning Districts Map MRT-16 (Multifamily Residential CC-MU (Community
Townhouse) Commercial/Mixed Use
There is a single family residence on the site and the site is otherwise wooded.
Much of the site terrain can be characterized as vegetated and sloped from east to
west. The property abuts S. 272nd St. on the south and 26t" Ave. S. on the east.
Properties immediately north of the site have been the subject of residential
platting activity. Immediately to the west is a multifamily development. The
Saybrook residential condominiums are located to the south across S. 272nd St.
Immediately to the east across 26t" Ave. S. is the Star Lake Park & Ride which is
located adjacent to the I-5/S. 272nd Street off-ramp. Surrounding zoning is single
or multiple family residential in both Kent and Federal Way.

OPTIONS:
No Action - Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Maps remain LDMF/MRT-16
1. The CC-MU zoning district allows both 100% commercial (e.g., retail, office)
uses as well as mixed commercial/residential uses provided the commercial
component encompasses a minimum of 25% of the mixed use development.
2. The surrounding area is residential in character; a determination would be
made that commercial uses would be incompatible with the residential
character of the area.
Option 1 - Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Maps change to MU/CC-MU
1. The applicant states the property is close to the I-5 freeway exit and is on a
very busy street (S. 272nd St.), so the best use would be consistent with CC-
MU zoning.
#DKT-2014-6 — Change in Zoning Districts Map designation for three
parcels (675670-0050 and -0060, 282205-9153) totaling 1.72 acres
located at the northeast corner of the intersection of 116t" Ave SE and Kent
Kangley Rd from O-MU (Office/Mixed Use) and SR-6 (Single Family
Residential) to CC-MU (Community Commercial/Mixed Use); and change in
Land Use Plan Map designation for one of those parcels totaling 0.416
acres from SF6 (Single Family Residential) to MU (Mixed Use)

Two of the parcels are currently vacant and there is a single family residence on the
third (northeastern) parcel. Trees and scattered vegetation exist on the parcels.
Much of the site terrain can be characterized as flat. The property abuts Kent
Kangley Rd. on the south and 1161h Ave. S. on the west. Properties immediately
north and east of the site are residential. To the west, across 116th Ave. SE are
residential uses. To the southwest, across Kent Kangley Rd., are multifamily
residential condominium developments; to the south, across Kent Kangley Rd., is a
small commercial area with a gas station. Parcels to the north, east, west and
southwest and zoned single and multiple family. Parcels directly to the south,
across Kent Kangley Rd. are zoned CC-MU.

OPTIONS:
No Action - Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Maps remain MU/SF6 and
O-MU/SR-6
1. The CC-MU zoning district allows both 100% commercial (e.g., retail, office)
uses as well as mixed commercial/residential uses provided the commercial
component encompasses a minimum of 25% of the mixed use development.
2. The surrounding area is residential in character; office/multifamily mixed use
is compatible with and provides a buffer for the adjacent residential uses.
3. Commercial uses would be incompatible with the residential character of the
area.
Option 1 - Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Maps change to MU/CC-MU
1. The applicant states the concentration of multifamily residential along the
Kent Kangley corridor creates a significant amount of pedestrian and transit
riders and a demand for neighborhood-friendly retail uses.
2. The applicant is proposing a 14,500 square foot retail pharmacy with drive-
through service and surface parking, although the proposal is not a
conditional rezone.
3. One of the City Council's strategic goals is to Create Neighborhood Urban
Centers.
Option 2 - Expand Option 1.
1. This option would include two adjacent residential parcels (282205-9221 and
-9270) in the MU/CC-MU designation.
2. The CC-MU designation would be more consistent with the extent of the CC-
MU designation directly south across Kent Kangley Rd. and yet not include
properties that are part of the Seven Oaks Terrace and Seven Oaks Division
III plats.
#DKT-2014-7 — Change in split Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Map
designations for two parcels (775780-0225 and -0222) totaling 1.6 acres
located at 22202 and 22204 88th Avenue SE from SF6/SR-6 (Single Family
Residential) and I (Industrial)/CM-1 (Commercial Manufacturing-1) to the
adjacent LDMF (Low Density Multifamily)/MRT-16 (Multifamily Residential

Both parcels are currently developed with a single family residence. There are a
significant number of trees on the site. The terrain slopes to the west, with some
slopes reaching 40%. The property abuts 88th Avenue South on the west.
Properties in the immediate vicinity are either vacant or single family residences on
a variety of lot sizes. Farther south of the site is a multifamily development. The

OPTIONS:
No Action — Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Maps remain C/GC
1. In 2011, the applicant requested the parcels not change to the proposed
Midway land use plan and zoning map designations. A determination would
be made that circumstances have not changed since those designations were
adopted.
Option 1 — Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Maps change to TOC/MCR
1. The Transit Oriented Community/Midway Commercial Residential
designations provide additional flexibility in the types of land uses permitted
on the property, consistent with the Midway Subarea Plan.
2. The applicant states the plans for the property are primarily residential,
although the proposal is not a conditional rezone.

199th Place north/south, the parcels are developed with a variety of
warehousing, manufacturing and service uses. The 38.7 acres have been
cleared and graded. The terrain of the properties is relatively flat. The
properties generally abut 68th Avenue South (West Valley Highway) between
S. 190th Street and S. 199th Place (if extended east). Surrounding zoning is
generally M1 (Industrial Park District). However, properties north of S. 196th

Option 1 — Land Use Plan Map remains I (Industrial) and Zoning
Districts Map is changed to M1-C
1. M1-C zoning allows the land uses permitted in the underlying M1
zoning district (including bulk retail with a minimum of one acre in
gross floor area) as well as certain limited commercial land uses at
nodal locations where major arterials intersect. These limited
commercial uses would provide necessary personal and business
services for the general industrial area. The S. 1961" Street/West
Valley Highway intersection is a major nodal location.
2. See also the staff-proposed code amendment to expand the
commercial uses that are allowed in the M1-C zoning areas.

3. The State's Streamlined Sales Tax provisions create significant
structural revenue deficits for Kent's warehousing operations in the
industrial valley. As such, it is prudent to allow additional commercial
uses while maintaining the overall industrial character of the area.
4. With approximately 60,000 daytime employees in the industrial valley,
allowing for additional commercial uses and services providers which
add to the appeal of the area for high-tech companies and the
recruitment of talented people is also desirable.
5. The Economic Development Plan recommends supportive retail and
commercial uses in the industrial area to modernize the district and
contribute to its overall vitality.
6. An analysis of vacant and redevelopable lands in this area indicates
capacity for job growth.
Option 2 — Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Maps change to MU
(Mixed Use)/GC-MU (General Commercial-Mixed Use)
1. The GC zoning district provides for commercial areas along certain
major thoroughfares. The allowed uses include a range of automobile-
oriented trade, service, entertainment and recreation land uses. With
the GC-MU zoning overlay, residential uses also would be allowed.
Residential uses can provide housing to accommodate the work force
in the industrial area.

Further, except for the Puget Power and Railroad rights of way, as
well as Springbrook Creek, whose existing designations will be

This area is located on the south side of S. 180th Street between 72nd Avenue
S. and Lind Avenue (if extended), and is a major east/west arterial.
Springbrook Creek runs through a portion of the area. The properties are
developed with various warehousing, service and bulk retail uses. To the
north, across S. 180th Street, are a variety of bulk retail, offices and food
services. Properties to the east are zoned GC (General Commercial), to the
west M1-C (Industrial Park-Commercial), and to the south M2 (Limited
Industrial). To the north in the cities of Renton and Tukwila, the zoning is
Medium Industrial, Commercial Office, Commercial Arterial, and Commercial

Option 1 — Land Use Plan Map remains I (Industrial) and Zoning

1. M1-C zoning allows the land uses permitted in the underlying M1

nodal locations where major arterials intersect. These limited
commercial uses would provide necessary personal and business
services for the general industrial area. The area along S. 1801h Street
is an appropriate area for additional flexibility in uses and is consistent
with the type of uses allowed to the north in adjacent jurisdictions.
2. A recent analysis of buildable lands indicated no vacant or
redevelopable parcels that would contribute additional capacity for
growth in population and employment. There would be additional
flexibility in allowed uses under the M1-C zoning designation.
3. See also the staff-proposed code amendment to expand the
commercial uses that are allowed in the M1-C zoning areas.
4. The State's Streamlined Sales Tax provisions create significant

designation, and employment growth could occur.
3. See also the staff-proposed code amendment to expand the
commercial uses that are allowed in the M1-C zoning areas.
4. The State's Streamlined Sales Tax provisions create significant
structural revenue deficits for Kent's warehousing operations in the
industrial valley. As such, it is prudent to allow additional commercial
uses while maintaining the overall industrial character of the area.
5. With approximately 60,000 daytime employees in the industrial valley,
allowing for additional commercial uses and services providers which
add to the appeal of the area for high-tech companies and the
recruitment of talented people is also desirable.
6. The Economic Development Plan recommends supportive retail and
commercial uses in the industrial area to modernize the district and
contribute to its overall vitality.

1. A recent analysis of buildable lands did not indicate vacant or
redevelopable parcels in this area that would contribute additional
capacity for growth in population and employment. The GC zoning
district provides for commercial areas along certain major
thoroughfares. The allowed uses include a range of automobile-
oriented trade, service, entertainment and recreation land uses;
manufacturing and warehousing uses are not allowed in the GC
zoning district. With the GC-MU zoning overlay, residential uses
also would be allowed. Residential uses can provide housing to
accommodate the work force in the industrial area.

OPTIONS:
No Action - Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Maps remain OS
(Open Space)/I (Industrial) and MA (Industrial Agricultural).
1. The parcels would be retained for industrial agricultural uses.
Option 1 — Land Use Plan Map remains OS (Open Space)/I
(Industrial) and the Zoning Districts Map is changed from MA
(Industrial Agricultural) to M1 (Industrial Park).
1. The M1 zoning district provides for a broad range of
industrial, office and business park activities where the
environmental amenities are protected through a high level
of development standards. It is unlikely the nature of
publicly-owned properties would change.
2. A recent analysis of buildable lands did not indicate
significant redevelopment opportunities on these parcels that
could contribute additional capacity for growth in population
and employment.

3. Certain zoning districts have been less useful over the years.
The Industrial Agricultural zone is very restrictive in terms of
allowed uses and, therefore, has been difficult to develop.
The M1 zoning district provides additional flexibility in
allowed uses.
4. The Economic Development Plan supports small business
entrepreneurs.
1132b. Valley North: Maintain the Land Use Plan Map

The parcel is developed as Briscoe Park and the adjacent parcel is
vacant public property and open space that abuts the Green River.
Industrial development is located to the east. A multi-use master
planned development called Tukwila South is planned for the areas on
the opposite side of the Green River.

otherwise generally surrounded by the Green River. To the north are
general commercial uses. Properties across the river are in large part
agricultural uses.

The Gateway Gateway Commercial (GWC) Zoning District was established in
1989 as a result of the Valley Floor Subarea Plan and East Valley
Zoning Study and applied to areas along East Valley Highway (aka 84th
Avenue South). The GWC zoning district was designed to create
unique, unified streetscapes, encourage mixed use developments,
recognize the significance of the automobile, provide commercial uses
appropriate along major vehicular corridors yet avoid highway strip
commercial development. The market has never caught up with the
vision for the area and would suggest alternative uses. Existing uses
include a mixture of warehouse/distribution, truck and auto repair,
restaurants and taverns, apartments, offices, hotels, medical and
other uses. The spine of the area is 84t" Avenue South, extending
generally from S. 2121" Street on the north to SR 167 on the south.
The area is surrounded by the Manufacturing/Industrial Center,
although to the southwest is Commercial Manufacturing-1 and a
mobile home park. There are inventoried wetlands in the area. See
also A4, above.

OPTIONS:
No Action - Land Use Plan and Zoning Districts Maps remain C
(Commercial) and GWC (Gateway Commercial).
1. The parcels would be retained for mixed use/residential,
small scale industrial, retail and services with no outdoor sales,
storage or display.

Option 1 — Land Use Plan Map changes from C (Commercial) to
I (Industrial) and the Zoning Districts Map changes from GWC
(Gateway Commercial) to M1-C (Industrial Park/Commercial).
1. M1-C zoning allows the land uses permitted in the underlying
M1 zoning district (including bulk retail with a minimum of
one acre in gross floor area) as well as certain limited
commercial land uses at nodal locations where major
arterials intersect. These limited commercial uses would
provide necessary personal and business services for the
surrounding industrial area. The spine of 841" Avenue South
is an appropriate area for additional flexibility in uses.
2. A recent analysis of buildable lands indicated vacant and
redevelopment opportunities on parcels that could contribute
additional capacity for growth in population and employment.
3. Certain zoning districts have not had the market support,
and the market would in fact support alternative uses. The
Gateway Commercial zone is has been difficult to develop.
The M1-C zoning would allow industrial uses but also provide
flexibility for additional uses to serve the industrial area.
4. See also the staff-proposed code amendment to expand the
commercial uses that are allowed in the M1-C zoning areas.
5. The State's Streamlined Sales Tax provisions create
significant structural revenue deficits for Kent's warehousing
operations in the industrial valley. As such, it is prudent to
allow additional commercial uses while maintaining the
overall industrial character of the area.
6. With approximately 60,000 daytime employees in the
industrial valley, allowing for additional commercial uses and
services providers which add to the appeal of the area for
high-tech companies and the recruitment of talented people
is also desirable.
7. The Economic Development Plan recommends supportive
retail and commercial uses in the industrial area to
modernize the district and contribute to its overall vitality.
Option 2 - Land Use Plan Map changes from C (Commercial) to
I (Industrial) and the Zoning Districts Map changes from GWC
(Gateway Commercial) to the abutting zones of M2 (Limited
Industrial) and M3 (General Industrial) west of 841" Avenue
South, and CM-2 (Commercial Manufacturing-2) and M2
(Limited Industrial) east of 84th Avenue South.
1. This option expands the industrial land area within the
city on the west side of 841" Avenue South, and on the
east side expands allowable commercial uses.
2. The State's Streamlined Sales Tax provisions create
significant structural revenue deficits for Kent's
warehousing operations in the industrial valley. As such,
it is prudent to allow additional commercial uses while
maintaining the overall industrial character of the area.

The timing of the Vista Landing Rezone application (RPP4-2063517)
and the planning project to reconcile single family zoning and land use
plan map designations (RPP6-2065041) created a discrepancy in the
maps. Ordinance No. 3842 passed June 5, 2007 was the result of the
long-range planning project to ensure Land Use Plan Map and Zoning
Districts Map designations were the same. The Land Use Plan Map
designation for Parcel no. 292205-9211 changed from SF6 to SF4.5.
Two months later, Ordinance No. 3855 passed on August 7, 2007
rezoned the parcel from SR-4.5 to SR-6; at the time of application the
parcel had a Land Use Plan Map designation of SF-6. Changing the
Land Use Plan Map designation back to SF6 will reconcile the
discrepancy.
The Vista Landing Subdivision to create 13 single family residential lots
on the parcel was approved in 2007, has not yet been recorded, and
will expire March 17, 2017 unless recorded.

D. Broaden allowed uses in industrial zones to include supportive
retail and commercial activities.
The Kent Zoning Code describes uses that are allowed in the
industrial zoning districts (M1, M2, and M3). In the M1 (Industrial
Park District), the allowed uses generally include manufacturing,
wholesale distribution, retail and service uses such as restaurants,
financial, business and educational services. In the M2 (Limited
Industrial District) the service uses are limited to 25% of the gross
floor area of any single- or multi-building development. In the M3
(General Industrial), the uses are generally limited to only
manufacturing and wholesale distribution.
Furthermore, there are areas in the M1 district that are designated
M1-C (Industrial Park/Commercial) where additional retail and
service uses are allowed, e.g., auto repair and drive-through food
and drink establishments. The purpose of the M1-C zoning district is
to allow certain limited commercial land uses that provide necessary
personal and business services for the general industrial area. The
M1-C designation typically occurs at centralized, nodal locations
where major arterials intersect.
Staff proposes the following:

• Broaden the uses in the M1, M2 and M3 areas such that
manufacturing and warehousing uses are allowed to sell the
product accessory to and directly related to the manufacturing
or warehousing use on the site.
• Clarify KCC 15.04.080(5) as follows:
o Uses shall be limited to twenty-five (25) percent of the
gross floor area of any single- or multi-building
development. Retail and service uses which exceed the
twenty-five (25) percent limit on an individual or
cumulative basis shall be subject to review individually
through the conditional use permit process. A
conditional use permit shall be required on an individual
tenant or business basis and shall be granted only when
it is demonstrated that the operating characteristics of
the use will not adversely impact onsite or offsite
conditions on either an individual or cumulative basis.
For example, in the case of a business park with several
buildings, 25% of the buildings' combined floor area may
be devoted to these retail and service uses. For single
building parcels, 25% of the floor area of the single
building may be devoted to these retail and service uses.
• Broaden the areas designated M1-C (see A and B, above).
• Broaden the uses allowed in M1-C such that grocery stores
would be allowed without a size limitation
• Allow vehicle accessory sales whether for industrial or personal
vehicles.
STANDARDS OF REVIEW
As the City moves forward with review of the proposed changes, consideration will
be given to the following standards of review. Staff proposes to amend #6b of the
Zoning Districts Map Amendment criteria as shown below.
Land Use Plan Map Amendments
1. The amendment will not result in development that will adversely
affect the public health, safety, and general welfare.
2. The amendment is based upon new information that was not
available at the time of adoption of the comprehensive plan, or that
circumstances have changed since the adoption of the plan that
warrant an amendment to the plan.
3. The amendment will result in long-term benefits to the community as
a whole and is in the best interest of the community.
4. The amendment is consistent with other goals and policies of the
comprehensive plan, and that the amendment will maintain
concurrency between the land use, transportation, and capital
facilities elements of the plan.

1. The proposed rezone is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
2. The proposed rezone and subsequent development of the site would
be compatible with development in the vicinity.
3. The proposed rezone will not unduly burden the transportation
system in the vicinity of the property with significant adverse
impacts which cannot be mitigated.
4. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of
the current zoning district to warrant the proposed rezone.
S. The proposed rezone will not adversely affect the health, safety and
general welfare of the citizens of the city.
6. Furthermore, for rezones to M1-C:
a. The proposed rezone is in close proximity or contiguous to
major arterial intersections identified on the comprehensive
plan map as being appropriate locations for commercial-type
land uses.
b. Except for city-wide mapping proposals, rezoning to M1-C shall
not be speculative in nature, but shall be based on generalized
development plans and uses.
