policies related to land use, infrastructure, and programs aimed at creating a
vibrant and sustainable local economy.
MIG has conducted a review of the current Economic Development Element
and recommends revising the overall structure for consistency with other
elements. They also recommend changes based on emerging industry trends
not addressed in the current element, policy requirements from Puget Sound
Regional Council and King County, and our City's vision for growth and
community well-being.
6. Introduction of Behavioral Health Facilities Code Update Project o
Lindsay Walker, Current Planner, provided an introduction to Behavioral w
Health Facilities and an overview of the project scope. A behavioral health in
services means mental health services, substance use disorder treatment W
services, and co-occurring disorder treatment services. In Washington state a
0
and King County there is a great need for facilities offering these services.
The facilities can range from lower intensity to higher intensity and are a
typically not recommended in single family or industrial zones. The o
presentation included an introduction to the breadth of behavioral health
facilities, including definitions, typical siting locations, and an overview of o
permitting considerations. The presentation to LUPB kicks off the process for N
further code amendments. r

Recap of 2023 Code Amendments
In June 2023, the City amended Title 15 to address SB 5536 (commonly y
referred to as the "Blake Fix"). SB 5536 updated state statutes concerning
controlled substances, including how local governments regulate opioid
treatment programs and harm reduction programs. Due to the tight effective
deadline, ECD staff prioritized changes necessary to comply with the
ordinance. However, staff anticipated further discussions would be needed a
because the nature of behavioral health facilities has evolved. ECD
committed to further evaluation and fine-tuning of potential code a
amendments in 2024. Since then, Planning staff have researched several
behavioral health facilities and best practices for siting.
Additional Background
In 2018, Governor Jay Inslee announced that he was pursuing a 5-year plan
to modernize the state's mental health system. The current strategy is to
expedite efforts to support smaller community-based health facilities. The
goal is to transition patients out of large state-run hospitals into smaller,
more specialized categories of facilities to better integrate them into the
community appropriate for patients' level of care needsTo help develop a
statewide behavioral health infrastructure, the Department of Commerce
created a model ordinance, which provides guidance and best practices for
local communities in siting and permitting these facilities.

DATE: March 25, 2024
TO: Land Use and Planning Board
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: Briefing on the Kent Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP)
SUMMARY: The Kent Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) represents the
City's proposed transportation improvement work program for the next six years.
Updated annually as required by State code, the six-year plan includes capital
projects and programs for inclusion in the TIP and Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP). The TIP is required to be consistent with the Kent
Transportation Master Plan (TMP), with projects nominated from the TMP or
included by other agencies.
Including projects in the TIP allows the City to coordinate with other agencies, seek
additional input from the public, search for funding partners, and apply for grants.
Most State and Federal agencies require that projects being submitted for grants be
included in the City's adopted TIP. Staff will give an overview of the TIP and its
annual development update, and provide link to demonstrate the City's TIP
StoryMap outreach tool.
