AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, relating to land use and
zoning, specifically the rezoning of a 1.09-acre
parcel located at 23453 30th Ave South, Kent,
Washington from MHP (Mobile Home Park) to MTC-
2 (Midway Transit Community 2).
RECITALS
A. An application to rezone one parcel totaling approximately 1.09
acres in size from the current zoning of MHP (Mobile Home Park) to MTC-2
(Midway Transit Community 2), was filed on March 23, 2023, by Sound
Transit (Kent Multi Use Rezone RZ-2023-1, KIVA#RPP4-2230743).
B. Environmental review is not required under the Washington
State Environmental Policy Act. This property is categorically exempt under
WAC 197-11-800(6)(iii) since it is located in the Midway Subarea (Ordinance
4009, 2011) which was previously subjected to environmental review and
analysis through an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EIS
adequately addressed the environmental impacts of the rezone.
C. After the publication and giving of notice, a public hearing on
the Kent Multi Use rezone was held before the Hearing Examiner on
November 1, 2023. Following the public hearing, on December 5, 2023, the
Hearing Examiner issued his findings and conclusions that the Sound Transit
Rezone is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan, that the proposed
rezone and any subsequent development would be compatible with the
existing neighborhood, that the proposed rezone would not unduly burden
the transportation system, that circumstances have changed substantially
1 Sound Transit Rezone
to warrant the proposed rezone, and that the proposed rezone would not
adversely affect public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of
the City of Kent.

1 Two additional exhibits were acknowledged during the public hearing, consisting of
letters of support from Mercy Housing and Open Doors, and were introduced as Exhibits 7a and
2 7b. No additional exhibits were submitted.
3 City's Presentation:
4 Mr. Alcorn's presentation on behalf of the City was relatively brief and relied heavily on his Staff
5 Report dated October 4, 2023. As noted above, the Applicant, Sound Transit, seeks site specific
rezoning of 1.09 acres located at 23453 30th Avenue South from MHP-Mobile Home Park to
6 MTC-2-Midway Transit Community 2. The site is adjacent to the first of two light rail stations
being constructed in the City, with the adjacent station nearly completed. The site was
7 previously used as a mobile home park but was acquired by Sound Transit in 2019 and its use as
a mobile home park was thereafter discontinued. The site is currently vacant and has been relied
8 upon as a staging area for construction of the transit facility. The properties surrounding the
project site have already had their zoning changed to MTC-1 or MTC-2 and the site is the only
9 remaining parcel not yet having had its zoning designation similarly amended.
10 The project site has a land use designation of TOC-Transportation Oriented Community in the
1 I land use element of the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Alcorn explains that this designation is
intended to encourage dense, pedestrian-oriented, mixed use, and public transit-oriented uses
12 near the Kent Des Moines light rail station. The MTC-2 zoning classification is consistent with
this land use designation and would permit the type of development intended. It is also
13 consistent with a host of Goals and Policies in the City's Comprehensive Plan,
14 Mr. Alcorn explained that the application is categorically exempt from SEPA review as it is
located in the Midway Subarea which underwent a SEPA EIS, and that the EIS adequately
15 addressed all environmental impacts of this proposed rezone.
16 Mr. Alcorn confirmed that notice of this hearing was properly issued and that is resulted in
written letters in support from Mercy Housing and Open Door(Exhibits 7a and 7b) discussed
17 more fully below.
1s
Mr. Alcorn completed his presentation by undertaking an analysis of the requested rezone
19 pursuant the criteria found in Kent Zoning Code Section 15.09.050.0 for zoning amendment:
20 • City Staff finds that the proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan as it would align the property's zoning with its land use designation of TOC-Transit
21 Oriented Center.
22 The rezone is also consistent with the Goals and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan including
Land Use Goals LU1, LU3, LU6 and LU7, along with Policies LU 1.3, 2.2, 3.2, 3.1, 6.3 7.3 and
23 10.1; with Housing Goal H2 and Policies H 2.1 and 2.2; with Transportation Goal T1 and
24 Policies T 1.4 and T 5.4.

I • Staff finds that the proposed rezone and subsequent development would be
compatible with development in the vicinity. Surrounding properties are also currently
2 undeveloped and awaiting collective development consistent with the new light rail station. All
adjacent parcels are zoned either MTC-2 or MTC-1, with the MTC-1 designation given to
3 parcels with frontage along Pacific Highway South. All of these parcels are intended to be
4 developed in a manner similar to the subject property; all are within the Midway Subarea; and
are subject to the Midway Design Guidelines intend to promote high quality, dense, pedestrian
5 and transit-oriented development.
6 Conversely,the current MHP zoning is inconsistent with the site's land use designation in
the Comprehensive Plan and is also inconsistent with the intended uses of all surrounding
7 properties and the goals of the Midway Design Guidelines.
8 • City Staff finds that the proposed rezone will not unduly burden the transportation
system in the vicinity with significant adverse impacts which cannot be mitigated. Future
9 development will, of course, increase traffic due to its greater density but these impacts are offset
10 by the development of the light rail station and the available public transit it provides. In
addition, surrounding roadways are currently being upgraded in a manner consistent with the
I I new light rail station. The proposed rezone is therefore not anticipated to unduly burden the
transportation system, especially as the site will likely require added mitigation in the form of
12 transportation impact fees as well as other roadway improvements.
13 • Circumstances have substantially changed since the establishment of the current
zoning district and warrant the proposed rezone. Most notably, funding was approved for
14 extension of the light rail from SeaTac Airport to this site and then onward to Federal Way. As
noted earlier, all surrounding properties have already been rezoned as part of adoption of the
15 Midway Subarea Plan,leaving only this parcel needing to be rezoned.
16 The proposed rezone will allow for increased density consistent with the Midway
17 Subarea Plan. This Plan was established subsequent to the property's current zoning.
18 • City Staff finds that the proposed rezone will not adversely affect the health,
safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City. To the contrary, the proposed rezone is
19 consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and with the proposed development of
surrounding properties and will help facilitate an area-wide redevelopment centering on the new
20 light rail station. All future development will be required to meet all applicable codes and
regulations and also mitigate all anticipated environmental impacts.
21
22 Based upon these Findings, City Staff recommends that the proposed rezone be approved by City
Council.

I - At the conclusion of Mr. Alcorn's testimony, the Hearing Examiner posed a few questions. The
Hearing Examiner asked whether there had been any changes to the City's Comprehensive Plan
2 or land use ordinances since the application was submitted. Mr. Alcorn explained that there have
been no recent changes to either. Mr. Alcorn was then asked if there are any zoning overlay
3 zones affected in this proposed zoning amendment and he responded that there are none. He was
4 then asked if there is any development proposed concurrently with the requested rezone and
explained that there is none, and that any proposals for development will be presented at a future
5 date.
6 Applicant's Presentation:
7 At the conclusion of Mr. Alcorn's testimony,the Applicant, Sound Transit, testified through
Matthew Mateo. Mr. Mateo's presentation was quite brief. He mostly wished to supplement the
8 City's presentation by noting that since this application was presented, by Sound Transit and the
City have been jointly working on achieving the goals of the Subarea Plan, including joint notice
9 of intent for awarding transit-oriented development. Upon questioning by the Hearing Examiner
to as to the status of the transit center facilities, Mr. Mateo responded that both the transit center
and associated parking garage have a finished look and are nearly ready. A person departing
11 from the light rail station would exit onto the subject property,thus the need to have its zoning
amended so that its development can get underway.
12
Public Comment:
13
At the conclusion of Mr. Mateo's presentation,the Hearing Examiner inquired as to whether any
14 members of the public were present and wished to testify. There were no members of the public
15 present wishing to testify and there has been no public opposition to the requested rezone.
16 Shortly in advance of the public hearing written comments were received in support of the
amendment:
17
Mercy Housing submitted a written letter dated October 2, 2023, expressing its support
18 for the rezone on the basis that it would be an essential step toward transforming the Kent Des
Moines station and nearby area into a vibrant, transit-oriented, sustainable community centered
19 around the new light rail station. Rezoning to MTC-2 will allow greater density, with a mix of
uses, that will improve possibilities for new affordable housing. Mercy Housing recently
20 received the notice of intent to award (along with Open Doors) from the City and Sound Transit
with the goal of establishing affordable housing in the area.
21
By letter dated October 2, 2023, Open Doors also expressed its support for the zoning
22 amendment,noting that rezoning to MTC-2 will allow for development of a more inclusive
23 residential community consistent with the goals of the Subarea Plan. Open Doors echoed the
thanks expressed by Mercy Housing for having received the notice of intent to award from
24 Sound Transit for the Kent Des Moines "North" site.

I Apart from these two letters, there has been no public comment.
2 ANALYSIS
3 The requested rezone is a straightforward one resulting in an important amendment to the site's
4 zoning to achieve consistency with its Comprehensive Plan, land use designation as well as the
Plan's Goals and Policies. Amending the site's zoning to be consistent with all surrounding
5 properties will allow for uniform, comprehensive development consistent with the Subarea Plan
and in a manner beneficial to the City and the region. City Staff recommends approval of the
6 rezoning without conditions and there is no public opposition. I concur with City Staff that the
requested zoning amendment should be approved.
7
1 therefore make the following:
8
FINDINGS OF FACT
9
10 1. Any Findings contained in the foregoing Background, Public Hearing or Analysis
Sections are incorporated herein by reference and adopted by the Hearing Examiner as his
11 Findings of Fact.
12 2. The Hearing Examiner has admitted documentary evidence into the record, heard
testimony, and taken this matter under advisement.
13
3. The Applicant seeks a site-specific zoning snap amendment to rezone property at 23453
14 30th Avenue South from its current zoning of MHP-Mobile Home Park to MTC-2-Midway
15 Transit Community 2.
16 4. The project site is located within the Midway Subarea and is adjacent to the nearly
completed light rail station. The site formerly served as a mobile park but now lies undeveloped
17 while awaiting new development consistent with the adjoining transit facility.
18 5. City staff has deemed the present application to be categorically exempt from SEPA.
19 6. Notie of the proposed hearing was issued on September 22, 2023, posted on the property,
mailed to property owners within 300' of the subject property; emailed to agencies, city
20 departments and parties of record; published in the Kent Reporter and posted on the City's
webpage in accordance with KCC 12.01.140 and 12.01.145.
21
22 Findings Related to Compliance with KCC 15.09.050.0 for Zoning Map Amendments.
23 7. Applications for amendment to the zoning snap, including site specific rezones, may only
be approved if all five criteria of KCC 15.09.050.0 are satisfied. The Applicant has the burden
24 of proving that all requirements are met:

Phone: 360-748-3386/Fax: 748-3387
l a. The proposed rezone must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2 The subject property has a land use designation of Transit Oriented Community (TOC) in
the City's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed zoning amendment to MTC-2 is consistent with
3 this land use designation.
4
City Staff finds that the zoning amendment is consistent with the Goals and Policies of
5 the City's Comprehensive Plan as detailed more fully in the Public Hearing Section. The
Hearring Examiner concurs and adopts the City's Findings.
6
b. The proposed rezone and subsequent development will be compatible with
7 development in the vicinity.
8 As noted in the Public Hearing Section, surrounding properties are currently
undeveloped,zoned MTC-2 or MTC-1, and await comprehensive development concurrently with
9 the subject property. All properties within the Midway Subarea, and subject to the Midway
10 Design Guidelines, are intended to promote high quality, dense, pedestrian transit-oriented
development. The proposed rezone and its subsequent development would be compatible with
11 all surrounding development.
12 Conversely,the subject property's current zoning of MHP is incompatible with the
property's land use designation of TOC and does not achieve the type of development envisioned
13 in the Midway Subarea according to the Midway Design Guidelines. The current zoning is
therefore inconsistent and incompatible with development in the vicinity.
14
C. The proposed rezone will not unduly burden the transportation system in the
15 vicinity of the property with sijznificant adverse impacts which cannot be mitigated.
16 As set forth in the Public Hearing Section, City Staff finds that future use of the site will
17 likely increase traffic due to greater density of residential and commercial development, but that
this increased traffic is offset by the public transit provided by the new transit facility and by the
18 upgrading of nearby roadways as part of the light rail station construction. Transportation
impacts resulting from future development will likely require mitigation in the form of
19 transportation impacts fees as well as compliance with any other City requirements for roadway
improvements. The Hearing Examiner concurs and finds that the proposed rezone will not
20 unduly burden the transportation system.
21 d. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the current
zoning district to warrant the proposed rezone.
22
23 As set forth in the Public Hearing Section, a number of substantial changes have occurred
since the establishment of the current MHP zoning; Sound Transit received funding to extend

I light rail from SeaTac Airport to the Kent Des Moines light rail station adjacent to this site and
then further south to Federal Way; the adoption of the Midway Subarea Plan occurred
2 subsequent to this property's zoning and resulted in the area-wide rezoning of all surrounding
properties to either MTC-1 or MTC-2, leaving only the subject parcel still needing rezoning; and
3 completion of the light rail station and other public transit facilities will generate the need for
4 additional housing and commercial services nearby. The rezone proposal to MTC-2 will
accommodate these increased demands for both residential and commercial facilities.
5
C. The proposed rezone will not adversely affect the health, safety and general
6 welfare of the citizens of the City of Kent.
7 Staff finds that the proposed rezone is consistent with the Kent Comprehensive Plan; is
consistent with the proposed development of surrounding properties; is consistent with the
8 Midway Subarea Plan; and will serve to facilitate an area-wide redevelopment by Sound Transit
around the new light rail station. Future development of the site will be required to meet all
9 applicable codes and regulations, including fire and life safety codes, and must provide for
10 mitigation of any environmental impacts. The Hearing Examiner concurs.
I 1 8. City Staff recommends approval of the requested amendment with no conditions. The
Hearing Examiner concurs.
12
13 Having entered his Findings of Fact,the Hearing Examiner makes the following:
14 CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
15 1. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter.
