Land Use and Planning Board Land Use Regular August 12, 2024
Meeting Kent, Washington
Minutes
There was a lively question and answer period with the members and staff.
The first question posed to the Board Members was whether they support a
500' or 880' buffer spacing between behavioral health facilities and schools.
The majority all said they support 880'. There were also questions as to
whether a daycare or pre-school could open within the 880' buffer. Kristen
and Lindsay stated that that is not the intention of the code and when writing
the code, special attention will be paid to this.
Appropriate zoning districts was also discussed. Some members felt that
siting the facilities in Mid to High density might pose a risk to residents who
live in those areas and they could disproportionally affect lower income
households. Kristen Holdsworth offered a scenario where the Enhanced
Service Facilities and the Intensive Behavioral Health Treatment facilities be
split and fall under different zoning guidelines. There was agreement among
the board members that this was a good solution to siting the less intense
facilities within the Mid to High density zones.
6. Comprehensive Plan — SEPA Preferred Alternative and Land Use
Element
Staff provided an overview of the SEPA preferred alternative, including
potential changes to the Future Land Use map. LUPB also reviewed the
substantive changes to the goals and policies of the Land Use element.
There was general agreement with the parcel-by-parcel updates to the Land
Use Map.
7. 02 2024 ECD Updates
The Long Range Planning manager provided a brief update on ECD activities,
including economic development, long range planning, development
applications, and other department updates.
Kristen also brought attention to the last page of the report which outlines
the schedule for LUPB for the remainder of 2024.
