A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, ratifying the King County
Countywide Planning Policies adopted by the
Metropolitan King County Council and pursuant to
the Growth Management Act.
RECITALS
A. The adoption of countywide planning policies is required under
the State Growth Management Act (GMA), pursuant to RCW 36. 70A.210.
The Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) provide a framework for Kent and
other cities in King County to conduct planning under the requirements of
GMA. This framework ensures that city and county comprehensive plans
are consistent. On August 23, 2010, the Metropolitan King County Council
approved and ratified amendments to the CPPs approved by the Growth
Management Planning Council (GMPC) amending the interim Potential
Annexation Area (PAA) map to expand the PAA for the City of Renton, and
amending CPPs FW-18, FW-19 and T-14 to describe the intended
relationship between transit service and densities, and to update and
clarify language in the framework policies. Now the amendments are
presented to jurisdictions in King County for ratification.
B. On August 23, 2010, the following GMPC motions to amend
the CPPs were approved and ratified by the full County Council:
Countywide Planning Policies
Resolution
1. MPC Motion No. 10-1: Adopts a revision to the Interim
Potential Annexation Area (PAA) map to expand the PAA of the city of
Renton and proportionately reduce the PAA of the city of Kent. This
revision places all of Soos Creek Park and Trail north of SE 208th Street in
the Fairwood PAA.
2. MPC Motion No. 10-2: Amends the CPPs with regards to
transit service. The revisions reflect more clearly the appropriate service
intended for different types of areas, clarify the relationship among
jurisdictions regarding transportation system planning and development,
and provide more direct guidance for using transit service to advance the
County's growth management goals.
C. The King County Council approved and ratified these
amendments on behalf of King County pursuant to King County Ordinance
No. 16912. The Kent Economic & Community Development Committee
reviewed these amendments at its meeting on October 11, 2010.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
