A. Parayil Rezone Ordinance - Adopt
City Attorney, Tammy White provided an overview of the rezone of 3.56 acres
of property, located at off of Canyon Drive from MR-D (Duplex Multifamily
Residential District) to MRT-16 (Multi-Family Residential Townhouse District).
White advised the property is owned by Parayil, LLC and the applicant filing
the rezone request is Babu Parayil. When the matter was before the hearing
examiner, no one spoke in opposition to the rezone request.
• An open record hearing was previously held before the Hearing Examiner on
October 2, 2024. Public notice of that hearing was given as required by the
Kent City Code, which staff will explain in their presentation. After the
hearing, the Hearing Examiner recommended Council approve the rezone
request, and it is that recommendation before you tonight for consideration
and, if you agree with the Hearing Examiner, adoption of the implementing
ordinance.
• Because this matter would change the zoning on a specific parcel of property,
it is considered a "quasi-judicial matter".
• Typically, Council sits as a legislative body where it develops policy for
the City.
• On legislative matters, outside influences can and often do help shape
Council's policy decisions.
• However, in a quasi-judicial matter, Council sits as a panel of judges
determining the legal rights of specific parties by applying previously
developed policy to a particular property in a hearing or other
proceeding.
• When it is applying policy (as opposed to developing it), Council must
be impartial, fair, and free from outside influences.
• To help insure fairness and impartiality in quasi-judicial matters, the
Appearance of Fairness Doctrine was developed through the courts and later
codified into state law at Ch. 42.36 RCW.
• Before tonight's Council meeting, each Council Member completed an
Appearance of Fairness Disclosure Statement and provided that statement to
me or the City Clerk.
• I have reviewed those disclosure statements. All Council Members advised
(1) they did not have any ex parte communication with any proponent or
opponent to the rezone request, (2) they do not have any personal interest

in the proposed rezone, and (3) they are able to consider the rezone request
fairly and impartially.
White asked the audience if any had a lawful basis to ask for the recusal of a
council member due to the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine.
There were no responses.
Planner, Delai Mitchell provided the staff presentation.
The MRT-16 zoning district is consistent with the existing Comprehensive
Plan Land Use Map designation of LDMF - Low Density Multifamily. Both the
existing zoning designation of MR-D and the proposed MR-T16 are allowed
zoning designations for the LDMF land use under the City's Comprehensive
Plan. The property under MRT-16 zoning would remain compatible with the
existing development in the vicinity. Abutting the Parayil property are five
apartment complexes, a church, one condominium building, and one single-
family home. The existing zoning in the area includes MR-M, MR-D, SR-6,
and MR-T16, all of which are residential zones.
Kent City Code 15.09.050 establishes five criteria for granting a request for
rezone which help ensure consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, nearby
land uses, and available infrastructure and services. After conducting an
open record public hearing on October 2, 2024, the hearing examiner
recommended the Parayil rezone application be approved. City planning staff
agree with the hearing examiner's recommendation and recommend Council
accept it.
There was nobody signed up to provide comment and no comments were
received.
MOTION: I move to accept the Findings, Conclusions, and
Recommendation of the Hearing Examiner on the Parayil
rezone application and to adopt Ordinance No. 4499, approving
the Parayil rezone application from MR-D (Duplex Multifamily
Residential District) to MRT-16 (Multi-Family Residential
Townhouse District).
