7. LUPB Workshop – Housekeeping Code Amendments
Planner Sara Ullman discussed 2019 housekeeping amendments to ensure
clarity, consistency, and accuracy for Kent City Code. She discussed correcting
out-of-date zoning district references in our noise ordinance. She also included
a proposed change to the language for inoperable vehicles to clarify that no
inoperable vehicles are allowed for more than 30 days on private property. There
are proposed changes to building height definitions, updated to streamline
reviews and ensure consistency with other municipalities. In addition, Ms.
Ullman discussed the docket item which would standardize height limits in
similar residential zones. This change ensures logical and fair development
standards for zones which allow for single family dwellings. Ms. Ullman also
discussed a proposed modification of the dates used to calculate school impact
fees using the construction cost index, which would shift from October to
October of each year to August to August. This change will allow enough time
to adopt the school districts’ Capital Facilities Plans with the city budget.
Board member Allen-Carston inquired about the city’s Code Enforcement
process. Current Planning Manager Erin George explained the process, noting
Code Enforcement’s move from the ECD department to the Police Department.
Follow-up questions from the board shifted the discussion to code enforcement
policies for a time.

Kaelene Nobis addressed the board members regarding potential changes to our sign
code relating to recent court decisions. These court decisions prevent municipalities
from regulating non-commercial signage on the basis of content. Kent Planning and
Legal staff are identifying where we can improve our sign code language to be
compliant with these new legal limitations. The board discussed proliferation of
existing signs in the city, and asked about enforcement of illegal signs and whether
“sign spinners” (people holding signs) are allowed. Ms. Nobis stated she would discuss
sign spinners with Legal, and Ms. George provided additional information regarding
sign code enforcement.
Seeing no further business, Kathi Jones closed the public meeting at 7:53 PM.

Re: Annual Code Cleanup
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending sections
8.05.080, 12.04.140, 12.04.155, 12.13.170,
15.02.065, 15.04.170 and 15.08.090 of the Kent
City Code to correct errors and provide clarity as
part of the City’s annual code cleanup.
RECITALS
A. The City considers annual amendments to plans or
development regulations that are suggested by interested persons or are
requested by staff via a docket process. These annual amendments are
part of a comprehensive effort to clean up the City’s municipal code by
correcting errors, providing clarification, and making other similar
housekeeping changes throughout the code.
B. On October 16, 2018, the City Council approved the 2018
Annual Docket list which included three site-specific requests and seven
code amendments, four of which are included in this ordinance.
C. The table housed in Kent City Code (KCC) 8.05.080 of the
City’s Noise Ordinance incorrectly references out of date zoning. The
correction is included in this ordinance.
D. The regulatory language of KCC 15.08.090, pertaining to the
parking or storage of inoperable vehicles, has led to confusion regarding

Re: Annual Code Cleanup
inoperable vehicles in residential areas. The amendment clarifies that each
residentially zoned property may have only one inoperable vehicle on it for
more than 30 days, and only if the inoperable vehicle is properly stored
and hidden from view.
E. The definition of building height in KCC 15.02.065 does not
specify the type of grade to base the measurement from. This lack of
information has resulted in confusion for the public. The amendment
clarifies that building height is measured from “average finished grade”
instead of “grade”. Diagrams are included for ease of calculation and
additional verbiage explains how average finished grade is measured.
F. KCC 15.04.170 establishes inconsistent development
standards for maximum allowed building height in the SR and MR zones for
single family dwellings. It is believed this inconsistency is a scrivener’s
error which was never identified or corrected. This amendment increases
the maximum building height in the SR-8 and MR-D zoning districts from
30 feet to 35 feet to ensure consistent and fair development standards for
zones which allow for single family dwellings.
G. On November 20, 2018, City Council passed Ordinance No.
4290, which amended KCC 12.13.160 and 12.13.170 to implement a
school impact fee schedule and maximum fees. School impact fees are set
annually through the adoption of the school districts’ Capital Facilities Plans
(CFP). The Capital Facilities Plans of school districts are submitted to the
City for review, and this review must occur in conjunction with the City’s
update of its Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan which
typically happens in November. The maximum annual increase in school
impact fees generally corresponds to the previous calendar year's increase
in construction costs as calculated from October 1st through September
30th. Due to the timing of the comprehensive plan update in November,
utilization of this date range has created a very short window for staff and

Re: Annual Code Cleanup
City Council to review the proposed school impact fees and Capital
Facilities Plans prior to adoption of the City budget in December. The
amendment of the date range in KCC 12.13.170 to August to August,
rather than October to October, would better provide appropriate time for
review of the proposed fees and plans, and would avoid a backlog with
other city processes.
H. On November 21, 2017, City Council passed Ordinance No.
4257 which amended KCC 12.01.145 as a part of the 2016 Docketed Code
Amendments. The amendment changed the public notice mailing radius
for short subdivisions from 200 to 300 feet in order to match the radius
used for long subdivisions. Additional inconsistencies were discovered
after the fact in KCC 12.04.155A and 12.04.140C. This amendment
corrects these inconsistencies by also changing the public notice mailing
radius in these code sections from 200 feet to 300 feet for the notice of
application (NOA) and the public meeting notice for short subdivisions.
I. On June 18, 2019, pursuant to RCW 36. 70A.106, a request
for expedited review was sent to the Washington State Department of
Commerce, which acknowledged that the request was received on June __,
2019. On ____, 2019, the City was granted expedited review.
J. On June 18, 2019, the City’s SEPA Responsible Official issued
a Determination of Nonsignificance for the 2018 Housekeeping
Amendments (ENV-2019-18, KIVA #RPSW-2191525).
K. The Land Use and Planning Board held a workshop to discuss
these code amendments on April 22, 2019. After appropriate public
notice, the board held a public hearing on June 24, 2019 to consider the
proposed code amendments and forwarded their recommendation to the
City Council.

Re: Annual Code Cleanup
SECTION 4. – Amendment – KCC 12.13.170. Section 12.13.170 of
the Kent City Code, entitled “Maximum allowable fees,” is hereby amended
as follows:
Sec. 12.13.170 Maximum allowable fees.
School impact fees provided by this chapter shall be assessed based on the
calculation set forth in KCC 12.13.140, unless they exceed a maximum
allowable fee as set forth in this section. There shall be an increase in the
maximum allowable fee each year by the same percentage as the
percentage change in the previous calendar year’s average monthly
Engineering News Record (ENR) Seattle Area Construction Cost Index
values, relative to the corresponding average monthly ENR Construction
Cost Index values for the preceding year, as calculated from October 1st
through September 30th August 1st through July 31st.
The maximum allowable fee is set at $8,591 for single-family dwelling
units and a maximum of $8,755 for multifamily dwelling units for 2019.
SECTION 5. – Amendment – KCC 15.02.065. Section 15.02.065 of
the Kent City Code, entitled “Building Height,” is hereby amended as
follows:
Sec. 15.02.065 Building height.
Building height means the vertical distance from the average finished
grade to the highest point of the coping of a flat roof or to the deck line of
a mansard roof or to the average height of the highest gable of a pitch or
hip roof as depicted in Diagram A below. The average finished grade shall
be determined by first delineating the smallest square or rectangle that
can enclose the building and then averaging the elevations taken at the
midpoint of each side of the square or rectangle as depicted in Diagram B

LAND USE AND PLANNING BOARD
220 Fourth Ave S
Kent, WA 98032
DATE: June 24, 2019
TO: Land Use and Planning Board
FROM: Public Works Engineering
SUBJECT: Transportation Master Plan Update
SUMMARY: The Transportation Master Plan (TMP) represents the City’s long-range
transportation improvement work program. The Washington State Growth
Management Act requires transportation planning and system development support
the broader, long-range goals for community development outlined in the Kent
Comprehensive Plan. The last major update to the TMP was in 2008 with a minor
update completed for the 2015 Kent Comprehensive Plan. The 2015 minor update
did not include a comprehensive review of projects, cost estimates, an updated
financial plan, an updated concurrency program, modeling or consideration of major
regional transportation projects such as Federal Way Link Extension and the SR509
Gateway Project. Since the last TMP update, the city has experienced growth,
adopted the Midway Sub Area Plan (2011), the Downtown Sub Area Plan (2013)
and the Meet Me on Meeker Design Standards (2017). When the Puget Sound
Regional Council recommended certification of Kent’s Comprehensive Plan in
December 2015, PSRC detailed additional work required of Kent.
Staff begun updating the TMP in early 2018. Tasks underway include updating and
