DATE: September 19, 2023
TO: City Council Workshop
SUBJECT: 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update
SUMMARY: The City is required to update its Comprehensive Plan by the end of
2024. At the upcoming meeting Economic and Community Development ("ECD")
staff will provide a summary of Phase I Community Engagement and EIS Scoping
and will discuss next steps.
BACKGROUND: A Comprehensive Plan envisions a city's future and describes its
long-term vision for growth and accompanying infrastructure and services. Under
the Washington State Growth Management Act, cities are required to plan for
residential and employment growth over the next 20-years. Through 2044, Kent is
expected to accommodate 10,200 housing units and 32,000 jobs. These growth
targets were established through efforts and negotiations in previous years to
update the King County Countywide Planning Policies.
UPCOMING MEETING:
At the upcoming Council Workshop, ECD staff will present on "Phase I: Project
Launch and EIS Scoping" community engagement. Information will include an
overview of outreach activities and provide a preliminary summary of what we
learned.
ECD staff will also ask for Council feedback on the following questions:
1. Did anything from our Phase I engagement summary findings surprise
you? Is there anything you think there should be clarifying/follow up
questions on?
2. On November 13 we will be meeting with LUPB and Council in a joint
workshop to discuss future growth scenarios. Are there any areas for
future jobs or housing growth you are particularly interested exploring?
3. Are there additional community groups/organizations you recommend we
reach out to during Phase II and Phase III of engagement?
