6. Update of Behavioral Health Facilities Project
Planning Staff provided an update to Behavioral Health Facilities, focusing on
Enhanced Service Facilities and Intensive Behavioral Health Treatment
Facilities.
The State's Model Ordinance suggests medium to high-density residential
areas as well as commercial areas may be appropriate, with specific permit
conditions. Low-density residential areas and Industrial areas are not
recommended.
Enhanced Service Facilities are community-based long-term facilities that
provide support and services to persons whom acute inpatient treatment is
not medically necessary.
Intensive Behavioral Health Treatment Facilities are community-based
residential specialized treatment facilities for individuals with behavioral
health conditions, including individuals discharging from or being diverted
from state and local hospitals, whose impairments or behaviors do not meet
or no longer meet the criteria for involuntary inpatient commitment under
Chapter 71.05 RCW, but whose care needs cannot be met in other
community-based placement settings.
Staff asked Board Members three questions. The first was what general
characteristics would make good locations for these facilities, and if there are
any types of locations we should avoid. There was a lot of discussion about
what each of the facilities requirements of stay are, what distance they
should be placed away from schools and that these facilities need to be near
transportation and services.
The second question for the members was which zones/areas (on the map
provided) seem appropriate for these uses. There was general consensus
that good areas would be the Panther Lake, West Hill, the Benson and Kent-
Kangley area, and downtown. The only sites that had negative feedback was
the Lake Meridian area and the area around the QFC.
The third question was are there other requirements or conditions to add to
these facilities. The feedback included giving the adjacent properties notice of
the possibility of the facility being built in their neighborhood and that the
age range should be adults only (18 and over).
7. 2044 Comprehensive Plan: Project Updates
Staff provided an update on recent work for the 2044 Comprehensive Plan
project, including release of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS).

<https://engage.kentwa.gov/futurekent>) includes lots of useful
information, including the Community Advisory Group charter and meeting
notes, upcoming outreach events, and other project updates. The DEIS will
be available for viewing on the site on June 14, 2024.
8. Safety Protocols
Staff briefly discuss protocols to ensure safety at LUPB meetings. The salient
points were to be aware of the location of exits, do not go to the Police
Station
in case of emergency, call 911, and to be mindful of the Run, Hide, Fight
practice.
9. Adjournment 7:41 p.m.
