Holdsworth reviewed the timeline and advised the City is on track with it's schedule to update the Comprehensive Plan. The goal for tonight is to finalize alternatives for analysis in the DEIS (No action and action alternatives) with the understanding that the alternatives do not constitute the Draft Future Land Use Map. The Draft Future Land Use Map will be develop as part of the FEIS in the Summer of 2024 through additional community input. Kent's 2044 Growth Targets are for 10,200 new housing units and 32,000 new jobs by 2044. The City needs capacity for new housing units by affordability. The Buildable Lands Analysis is in the process of being updated to reflect the new state law (HB1110 Middle Housing). City Council Workshop Workshop Regular December 12, 2023 Meeting Kent, Washington Minutes ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................._............................................................................................................................................................................................................... Preliminary Alternative and Environmental Impacts Community outreach and baseline analysis Land use growth alternatives and analysis Draft policy framework and plan elements Final comprehensive Plan Alternative 1: No action Tests development outcomes under existing land use regulations Likely does not meet 2044 targets Required by SEPA Alternative 2 - Nodes & Corridors More development intensity in Regional Growth Centers New activity centers along Benson corridor and East Hill Meets 2044 targets Alternative 3: Core with Transit Links Concentrate growth in Regional Growth Center Modest growth along Benson corridor/East Hill Meets 2044 job targets and exceeds housing targets. Alternative Summary: Locations of Growth Industrial Valley - There are strong PSRC requirements to preserve for industrial uses and the City does not anticipate new housing in that area. Maintaining the City's existing land use designations without modifications/growth would occur under existing land use regulations and policies. Alternate 2 - Nodes and Corridors Dispersed activity centers throughout the East Hill area and greater intensity in the regional growth areas. Alternate 3 - Core with Transit Links Concentrated residential and employment development in Kent's regional growth areas. Holdsworth conveyed the Growth Targets and New Development Housing Units and jobs by each alternate: Alternate #1 - 10,432 housing and 25,134 jobs Alternate #2 - 10,813 housing and 32,241 jobs Alternate #3 - 11,509 housing and 31,963 jobs Holdsworth indicated the City has reached a major milestone of wrapping up Phase 2. ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
