DATE: February 24, 2025
TO: Land Use and Planning Board
FROM: Economic & Community Development
SUBJECT: ReCode Kent: Creating Housing Option - Project
Introductions
SUMMARY: At the upcoming Council Workshop, the Long Range Planning team
will provide an overview of the Recode Kent project, which will update Kent's
housing code, permitting processes, and development standards.
Phase 1 of the project will focus on implementing state legislation that has a
deadline of June 30, 2025. More background information about the project can be
found here: https://engage.kentwa.gov/recodehousing.
During the workshop, the project team would like to discuss the following with LUPB
to receive early input.
General Questions about State Mandates:
1. Do LUPB members have questions about any state mandates?
2. Are there concerns about Kent's compliance with certain laws?
3. Are there other Comprehensive Plan implementation priorities that you would
like this project to consider addressing?
Questions about Middle Housing.
1. Do LUPB members have questions or concerns about middle housing and HB
1110 (middle housing) compliance in Kent?
2. Are there areas of the city that make more sense to encourage or incentivize
middle housing?
3. Do LUPB members have input on how middle housing can be successfully
integrated in Kent's neighborhoods?
4. Are there certain types of middle housing that should be emphasized in the
middle housing code?
