ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Kurt Hanson, Economic and Community Development Director
220 Fourth Avenue S,
KENT Kent, WA 98032
WASHINGTON 253-856-5454
DATE: October 12, 2020
TO: Land Use and Planning Board
FROM: ECD
SUBJECT: Isolation and Quarantine Facilities & Emergency Housing
Facilities/Shelters Amendment
MOTION: Recommend City Council approve the code amendment related to
Isolation and Quarantine Facilities, Emergency Housing Facilities and Emergency
Shelters as presented by staff.
SUMMARY: A proposed zoning code amendment to address locational and
permitting requirements for Isolation & Quarantine facilities, and to update
locational requirements for emergency housing and shelters. Earlier discussions
about this topic included potential supportive housing regulations, which are no
longer included. Supportive Housing regulations will be taken up at a later date.
BACKGROUND:
The Covid-19 pandemic and its economic impact have created new and emerging
housing needs for the City to consider. Isolation & Quarantine facilities are the most
prominent among these and are a type of use not addressed in Kent's zoning code.
Isolation & Quarantine facilities provide temporary living quarters for people who
may be infectious, but lack an appropriate alternative to their normal residence.
Examples include, but are not limited to: those who live with elderly or otherwise
vulnerable family members, those who lack physical space to isolate, those who live
in group settings, travelers or anyone else who is unable to isolate at home.
As with most other land uses, the City has the authority to evaluate the character
and impacts of this type of use and determine where and under what circumstances
the use should be allowed. As detailed in the attached ordinance, staff
recommends allowing these uses in Kent's industrial zones, where interaction
between infectious people and the public is least likely. These proposed changes
and additional operational and permitting requirements all aim to ensure that public
health, safety and welfare is protected.
This ordinance also includes changes to the City's regulations for emergency
housing and emergency shelters. These regulations were passed by the council in
May 2020 in response to HB 1754. Proposed updates would limit emergency
Packet Pg. 12
housing facilities, (which are located in permanent buildings), to commercial zones
that currently allow other types of housing, and prohibit these uses from
commercial zones that do not already allow housing.
Finally, while earlier discussions of this ordinance included the possibility of code
changes to addressed long-term supportive housing, these changes are not
included here. Supportive Housing is a complex topic that requires further
consideration, and will be addressed at a later date.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:
Thriving City - Creating safe neighborhoods, healthy people, vibrant commercial districts, and
inviting parks and recreation.
Inclusive Community - Embracing our diversity and advancing equity through genuine community
engagement.

RECITALS
E
w
A. Washington state law, through the Growth Management Act,
recognizes that local governments are in the best position to determine
a�
appropriate land uses within their respective jurisdictions.
°
L
B. On May 5, 2020, the City passed Ordinance 4358, which cY
designated certain zones and conditions appropriate for the citing of cc
c
emergency housing facilities and emergency shelters. The ordinance, which °

was passed to ensure compliance with HB 1745 (RCW 35A.21.360), 2
identified the proper zones for emergency housing facilities and shelters.
a�
C. This ordinance amends the definitions of "emergency housing i
facility" and "emergency shelter" to better synchronize the definitions with cY
a
the Kent City Code and address the addition of "isolation and quarantine
facilities" (referred to below). 0
0
0
D. In addition, the ordinance recognizes that emergency housing o,
facilities may not always be associated with religious organizations,
establishes more appropriate zones in which emergency housing facilities
may be located, and establishes conditions for the citing of those facilities. N
r
The locations and conditions of emergency housing facilities and emergency o
shelters address the impacts of these facilities as recognized in Kent and �0
other cities in the region. N
Go

0
E. The COVID-19 virus has resulted in a declared need for facilities
c
in which people can be sent to isolate and quarantine in order to control or
0
prevent the spread of a dangerous, contagious, communicable or infectious =
disease, agent or contaminant. This ordinance recognizes this new land use
a�
L
called "Isolation and Quarantine Facility." The code recognizes that these E
facilities are not appropriate for areas with the potential for significant w
human interaction due to the risk of spread of a dangerous, contagious,
communicable or infectious disease, agent or contaminant. -
c
L
F. The ordinance also makes housekeeping changes to the
cY
definitions of "hotel" and 'motel" and better aligns those definitions with �

Kurt Hanson, Economic and Community Development Director
220 Fourth Avenue S,
KENT Kent, WA 98032
WASHINGTON 253-856-5454
DATE: October 12, 2020
TO: Land Use and Planning Board
FROM: ECD
SUBJECT: Recreation Facilities: Amendment to KCC 12.04.060 &
15.09.045
SUMMARY: Recreation space is required in subdivisions and most multifamily
projects to provide Kent residents with convenient opportunities for passive and
active outdoor recreation. While the city's current standards in KCC 12.04.060 and
15.09.045 effectively provide minimum space and location requirements, they lack
detail in relation to equipment type and material quality. This causes
unpredictability for applicants and often results in construction of park facilities of
poor quality, limited longevity, and/or diminished utility. Further, many developers
choose to place recreation facilities atop underground stormwater vaults, which
were not previously allowed by the City, posing new design challenges that were
not considered in the current standards.
Staff researched best practices, conferred with experts in our Parks Department,
and collected feedback from the Master Builders Association. The proposed
amendment is intended to provide clearer guidance for City staff and applicants,
respond to changes in stormwater facilities design, and improve the value and
utility of recreation spaces for Kent residents. Staff will be available at the October
12t" meeting to discuss the proposal and answer questions.
SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:
Thriving City - Creating safe neighborhoods, healthy people, vibrant commercial districts, and
inviting parks and recreation.

A.Purpose and scope.Administrative design review is an administrative process,the purpose of which is to implement and give effect to
the comprehensive plan, its policies,or parts thereof through the adoption of design criteria for development relative to site layout,landscape
architecture,and exterior design. It is the intent of the city that this process will serve to aid applicants in understanding the principal rn
expectations of the city concerning design,and encourage a diversity of imaginative solutions to development through the planning services division o
review and application of certain criteria.These criteria have been formulated to improve the design,siting,and construction of development projects so 0
as to be compatible,both visually and otherwise,with the topographic,open space, urban,or suburban characteristics of the land or adjacent properties, �
while still maintaining allowable densities to be applied in a manner consistent with established land policies,the comprehensive plan,this title,and 06
0
community development goals of the city. c

The adoption of design criteria is an element of the city's regulation of land which is statutorily authorized.Application of the multifamily design N
r
process to the design criteria adopted in this section is established as an administrative function delegated to the planning services division pursuant to U
