amendments to Mixed Use designations. Ms. Butsick described the proposed
amendments and policy consistency analysis, as well as criteria for the
standards of review.
Chair Jones asked which parcel was the requesting party for the Military Rd.
proposal. Ms. Butsick described the parcel and existing uses. Chair Jones also
wanted to know if there are any current development plans for the parcel
that is requesting the amendment. Ms. Butsick indicated that she did not
believe so, but that the decision for the amendment shouldn't be based on
that single parcel but rather area-wide.
Ms. Allen-Carston asked regarding Goal LU-7, pertaining to variety in housing
types, whether affordable housing is included in this goal. Ms. Butsick
indicated that all types of housing to meet all household types and needs are
included in the goal.
Ms. Butsick stated that the parcel owners would still need to apply for a
rezone, that the passing of the amendment doesn't automatically change
their zoning. Regarding Goal LU-3, Mr. Shasti wanted to know if Kent is on
track to hit the population and job growth targets. Ms. Butsick didn't know
exactly where the City was in its 20-year targets, but stated she would
follow-up.
The group had no further specific comments on the Military Rd. proposal, but
expressed support for the staff-proposed alternative.
Regarding the 104th Ave. proposal, there was some discussion and questions
regarding the mitigation for the removal of trees on these two parcels. Ms.
Butsick stated that future development proposals would have to follow the
City's environmental review process and requirements.
6. Rally the Valley Update
Danielle Butsick provided an overview of the Rally the Valley project, and
described the strategic framework. Ms. Butsick provided information and
background on four strategic issues identified, as well as goals and a vision.
Board members expressed surprise at the diversity and uniqueness of
businesses in the industrial valley. Mr. Shasti asked how many of these
businesses exist in the Valley. Ms. Butsick did not have an exact figure to
provide. Mr. Shasti stated that there are some businesses that don't care
about visibility as much as others, such as the Boeing suppliers.
The board discussed and asked questions about architectural requirements in
the valley and the need to update or create new regulations to facilitate more
attractive building design.

Mr. Hartman mentioned King County's 1% for art program, and suggested
the same for the valley. Board members discussed painting murals on some
of the big box buildings, improving lighting and pedestrian safety.

Commercial.
CPA-2018-5: two parcels totaling 1.37 acres on 104th Ave. SE, currently
designated SF-8.
The staff report included in the LUPB packet contains background information, an
analysis of public benefit and consistency with comprehensive plan policies, exhibits
depicting the proposed sites and vicinity, and a staff’s analysis for each proposal.
Analyses are based upon the standards of review listed in Kent City Code.
Staff will be available at the August 26 LUPB hearing to present information, answer
questions, and receive comments from the public and LUPB members.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment Requests for
2018
Docketed Items #CPA -2018-2 , #CPA -2018-5
Introduction
The City received three docket applications by the annual Sept. 1st deadline for amendments to
the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map; one application, CPA-2018-01, was later withdrawn.
The two proposals to be considered are identified as CPA-2018-2 and CPA-2018-5. This staff
report includes background information, an analysis of public benefit and consistency with
comprehensive plan policies, exhibits depicting the proposed sites and vicinity, and a staff
recommendation for each proposal. Analysis and recommendations are based upon the
standards of review listed in Kent City Code.
(Note: city staff proposed a fourth land use plan map amendment for a property located at
10860 SE 196th Street due to a misconception regarding the owner’s desire for the city to rectify
an inadvertent split-zoning issue. Since determining the owner has no interest in rectifying the
split-zoning, this amendment has been removed from consideration.)

Proposal CPA-2018-2
Applicant requests re-designation from Commercial (C) to Mixed Use (MU).
Background:
The proposed site consists of one 1.96-acre parcel at 24700 Military Road. It has full urban
services and is located on an active transit corridor; it is also less than a mile from the Kent Des
Moines Park & Ride.
The proposed site currently contains a mix of retail and commercial uses and a significant
amount of surface parking. The applicant intends to reinvest in the property and construct a
mixed-use development after pursuing a rezone to CC-MU or GC-MU. The property fronts 36th
Ave. S/Military Rd., a minor arterial, and has its back to 38th Ave. S, a residential collector.
It is generally best practice to avoid amending the land use plan map in a way that creates
“islands” in which a single parcel has a land use designation that is different from all other
properties surrounding it. With that in mind, staff has developed a more strategic alternative to
the proposal, which also includes the surrounding properties, totaling 13 properties and 5.67
acres. The staff alternative would amend the land use designation for all properties in the
immediate area currently designated Commercial, as well as the remainder of the split-
designated lot to the south and an adjacent single-family lot. For purposes of the following policy
analysis, the greater area that is being considered as part of the staff alternative shall be
referred to as “the larger site.”
Seven of the 13 proposed parcels are developed with various retail and commercial uses and
parking, with nearly 100% site coverage. Three parcels are owned by the City of Kent and
currently function as a neighborhood park, although a large municipal water tower is planned to
be installed on these lots. Two parcels to the south of the City-owned lots contain single-family
residences, of which one takes ingress/egress from Military Rd., and the other from S 249th St.
The southwesternmost parcel on the site contains a daycare center which has operated in this
location for several decades under a Conditional Use Permit. A CUP is required of in-home
businesses in single-family residential zones. This parcel, on the corner of Military Rd. and S
249th St., as well as the single-family property directly to the east have recently been purchased
and come under a single owner, who intends to use both properties for commercial operations.
Although this is currently not allowed without a new CUP, it signals unmet demand for additional
neighborhood commercial services in this area.
Relevant Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies:
Goal LU-3: Kent will focus household and employment growth in the Urban Center and
designated Activity Centers to provide adequate land and densities to accommodate a large
portion of the adopted 20-year housing target of 10,858 new dwelling units and 15,648 new jobs
within Kent’s Planning Area.
Staff comment: The Kent comprehensive plan and the regional and countywide planning
framework under which it operates emphasize the targeting of growth in designated centers.
Although the proposed amendment is not within Kent’s designated activity centers, it is within a
half mile of the Midway activity center. Therefore, this proposal would be somewhat consistent
with the intent of this goal.

Policy LU-6.3: Locate housing opportunities with a variety of densities within close proximity to
employment, shopping, transit, human and community services.
Staff Comment: The proposal site (and larger site) is located within close proximity to transit,
commercial services and shopping, and an elementary school. Additional density in this area
would fulfill the intent of this policy.
Goal LU-7: Kent will provide opportunities for a variety of housing types, options and densities
throughout the City to meet the community’s changing demographics.
Staff comment: The majority of Kent’s residential areas are single-family. If this proposed or
larger site is designated Mixed Use and eventually rezoned and redeveloped as a mixed-use
development with multifamily residential housing, it would provide a greater variety of housing
types, options, and density than currently exists.
Policy LU-10.1: Examine commercial nodes, corridors and subareas for existing attributes and
opportunities to revitalize the commercial uses, connect with surrounding residential
neighborhoods and support multimodal transportation facilities.
Staff comment: This unique commercial node is near existing transit service, including a well-
served King County Metro Park & Ride facility, and it is adjacent to residential neighborhoods
that could benefit from increased commercial options.
Policy LU-10.2: Ensure opportunities for residential development within existing business
districts to provide support for shops, services and employment within walking distance.
Staff comment: The proposed site and larger site contain existing businesses that could benefit
from the support of on-site multi-family residential uses. New residential uses on this proposed
site, or eventually on the larger site, could provide an opportunity for people who work at these
businesses to live close to their places of work.
Policy LU-10.4: Promote redevelopment of existing commercial properties by limiting the
conversion of additional residential land use plan map designations to commercial land use plan
map designations.
Staff comment: The proposed site, as well as a majority of the parcels in the larger site, are
currently designated and zoned Commercial, meaning that residential uses are not allowed
here. This change would introduce new residential capacity without limiting commercial
capacity, and would increase the likelihood of redevelopment of these commercial properties by
potentially creating greater financial viability.
A small segment (1.5 parcels) of the larger site is residential; converting to Mixed Use (a
commercial designation), would seem to conflict with this policy. However, the long-term
operation of a commercial daycare on this property, and the property-owner’s interest in
incorporating a second adjacent owned parcel into the commercial use, indicates that there is
an unmet demand for commercial property in this area. Access to Military Rd., a minor arterial,
makes this an appropriate place for a Mixed Use designation, allowing commercial uses,
particularly since that would be consistent with its current use.
Goal H-2: Encourage a variety of housing types.

Staff comment: Kent’s residential areas are majority single-family. Higher-density residential
opportunities near existing and potential new commercial uses could offer a housing option that
meets alternative housing needs and preferences.
Policy H-2.2: Encourage infill development and recycling of land to provide adequate residential
sites.
Staff comment: Designating this underutilized land as Mixed Use, which could allow multi-family
residential uses if a rezone were requested and approved, would encourage infill development
by adding to the potential financial viability of a redevelopment project here.
Policy T-1.1: Locate commercial, industrial, multifamily and other uses that generate high levels
of traffic in designated activity centers around intersections of principal or minor arterials, or
around freeway interchanges.
Staff comment: The larger site is located primarily along Military Rd., a minor arterial, at its “Y”
intersection with a residential collector (38th Ave. S). While 38th Ave S. is classified as a
residential collector, its environment for the first two blocks south of its intersection with Military
Rd. is unique to that road classification due to the existing commercial uses to the west and the
National Guard Armory to the east. With careful attention to appropriate access points, and
construction of road frontage improvements consistent with the requirements in Kent’s Design
and Construction Standards, as well as consideration of bus stop amenities as appropriate,
commercial and multi-family residential uses would be appropriate here in fitting with this policy.
Applying the Standards of Review:
1. The amendment will not result in development that will adversely affect the public health,
safety, and general welfare.
Staff comment: Staff mailed letters to property owners within 300ft. of the parcels proposed for
re-designation in the larger site and received four comments, two of which were concerned with
increased traffic, one of which was supportive of the change due to an expectation of increased
property values from a mixed-use designation, and a fourth was neutral on the changes. Due to
concurrency requirements, and transportation impact fees to pay for additional trips generated
by new development, staff has concluded that new development here would not adversely
impact public health, safety, and general welfare.
2. The amendment is based upon new information that was not available at the time of adoption
of the comprehensive plan, or that circumstances have changed since the adoption of the plan
that warrant an amendment to the plan.
Staff comment: The need for housing variety and options has steadily increased regionally each
year due to population and job growth and housing demand. Changes in market preferences
also result in increasing demand for multi-family and mixed-use options since Kent’s
comprehensive plan was adopted in 2015.
3. The amendment will result in long-term benefits to the community as a whole and is in the
best interest of the community.

Staff comment: This comprehensive plan map amendment could result in development that
could provide more opportunities for a wider variety of housing, improve redevelopment
opportunities for an underutilized commercial area, introduce live/work opportunities, and
provide additional commercial services and amenities for nearby neighborhoods.
4. The amendment is consistent with other goals and policies of the comprehensive plan, and
that the amendment will maintain concurrency between the land use, transportation, and capital
facilities elements of the plan.
Staff comment: The amendment meets several goals and policies in the comprehensive plan as
described above. It would be an efficient use of existing and planned infrastructure serving
existing commercial and adjacent residential areas.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the staff-modified proposal for re-designation of the larger site.

Proposal CPA-2018-5
Applicant requests re-designation from Single-Family 8 (SF-8) to Mixed Use
(MU).
Background
The proposed site consists of two parcels totaling 1.37 acres, currently designated Single-
Family, 8 dwelling units per acre. The proposal is to re-designate these parcels to Mixed Use
(MU), reflecting the designation of adjacent parcels fronting 104th Avenue SE. The properties
proposed for re-designation are behind two lots which front 104th Avenue SE, and each has a
private easement recorded on its deed for access to the public street. The City of Kent
Development Engineering Division has requested that access to 104th Avenue SE be ensured
as a condition of any land use plan map amendments or future development of these properties;
access to 106th Avenue SE, to the east of the parcels, will be prohibited.

The site is adjacent to Morrill Meadows Park, where a new YMCA facility and redesigned park is
currently under construction, representing a significant public-private investment. This location
has bus stops within 300 feet that serve Metro routes 164, 168, and 169 with frequent peak
service, and it is located along one of the proposed alignments of the King County RapidRide I-
Line.
City of Kent GIS data indicate a wetland present in the southwest corner of the southern parcel
(7830800296); however, a wetland delineation completed as part of the Morrill Meadows YMCA
project in 2016 indicates that these wetlands no longer exist, and are in fact storm water
features that terminate south of the property boundary.
Relevant Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies:
Policy LU-3.1: Encourage mixed-use development that combines retail, office, or residential
uses to provide a diverse and economically vibrant Urban Center and designated Activity
Centers.
Staff comment: Re-designation of these two parcels to Mixed Use would meet the intent of this
policy, encouraging mixed use development (which could contain a mix of retail, office, or
residential uses) along an active transit corridor and near a major new parks facility. It would
promote diverse and economically vibrant development along the 104th Ave. SE corridor, which
is envisioned as mixed use, but which has remained underdeveloped single-family residential.
Policy LU-6.3: Locate housing opportunities with a variety of densities within close proximity to
employment, shopping, transit, human and community services.
Staff comment: Re-designation of these two parcels to Mixed Use would allow for assemblage
of properties along a proposed high-capacity transit route (RapidRide I-Line), thereby facilitating
redevelopment of these and adjacent parcels. After a meeting with the applicant, staff
understands that these parcels may be under the same ownership and could easily be
assembled for a larger-scale mixed use development. These properties are in close proximity
to Morrill Meadows Park, which includes recreation and community service opportunities. A
commercial shopping center, including a major grocery and department store, is within two
blocks of the properties proposed for re-designation.
Goal LU-7: Kent will provide opportunities for a variety of housing types, options and densities
throughout the City to meet the community’s changing demographics.
Staff comment: As stated above, the majority of Kent’s residential areas are single-family. If this
site is designated Mixed Use and eventually rezoned and redeveloped as a mixed-use
development with multifamily residential housing, it would provide a greater variety of housing
types, options, and density than currently exists.
Goal H-2: Encourage a variety of housing types.
Staff comment: See staff comment above pertaining to housing variety.
Goal LU-10.2: Ensure opportunities for residential development within existing business
districts to provide support for shops, services, and employment within walking distance.
Staff comment: This site is envisioned as mixed use, but currently contains aging single-family

residences. Redevelopment of this site into a large mixed-use development which includes
multi-family residences would increase the number of residential units in close proximity to the
existing retail center located two blocks from the properties proposed for re-designation.
Policy H-2.2: Encourage infill development and recycling of land to provide adequate residential
sites.
Staff comment: Designating this underutilized land as Mixed Use could allow commercial and
multi-family residential uses if a rezone were requested and approved. This would encourage
infill development by adding to the financial viability of a redevelopment project here, and
through parcel assemblage would facilitate the transition of adjacent parcels to mixed use as
envisioned in Kent’s comprehensive plan.
Policy T-1.1: Locate commercial, industrial, multifamily and other uses that generate high levels
of traffic in designated activity centers around intersections of principal or minor arterials, or
around freeway interchanges.
Staff comment: The site is located behind, and has access through, two parcels which are
located on 104th Avenue SE, a principal arterial as classified in Kent’s Transportation Master
Plan. Per conversations with the applicant, it is likely the parcels proposed for re-designation
would be assembled with those fronting 104th Avenue SE.
Applying the Standards of Review:
1. The amendment will not result in development that will adversely affect the public health,
safety, and general welfare.
Staff comment: Staff mailed letters to property owners within 300 ft. of the properties proposed
for re-designation. A single comment was received as of the writing of this report, neutral on the
changes but requesting information. Development resulting from this proposed land use plan
map amendment would be beneficial to the general public welfare by promoting assemblage
and redevelopment of underutilized land.
2. The amendment is based upon new information that was not available at the time of adoption
of the comprehensive plan, or that circumstances have changed since the adoption of the plan
that warrant an amendment to the plan.
Staff comment: The need for housing variety and options has steadily increased regionally each
year due to population and job growth and housing demand. Changes in market preferences
also result in increasing demand for multi-family and mixed-use options since Kent’s
comprehensive plan was adopted in 2015.
3. The amendment will result in long-term benefits to the community as a whole and is in the
best interest of the community.
Staff comment: This comprehensive plan map amendment could facilitate development that
would provide more opportunities for a wider variety of housing, improve redevelopment
opportunities for an underutilized area envisioned as mixed use but currently retaining aging
single-family residences, introduce live/work opportunities, and provide additional commercial
services and amenities for nearby neighborhoods.

4. The amendment is consistent with other goals and policies of the comprehensive plan, and
that the amendment will maintain concurrency between the land use, transportation, and capital
facilities elements of the plan.
Staff comment: The amendment meets several goals and policies in the comprehensive plan as
described above. It would be an efficient use of existing and planned transportation and transit
infrastructure, as well as significant City and private investment in an adjacent park and
community services facility. Future development occurring as a result of the land use plan map
amendment would be expected to meet concurrency requirements.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s proposal.

d. Are there surface indìcations or h¡story of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? lf
so, describe.
According to the Keltt Sensitive Areas Map, there are no unstable soils within
the project site.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading
proposed. lndicate source of fill.
No grading is required for the proposed Gomprehensive Plan Amendment.
Future development will result in grading of the site. The exact quantity of
grading is not known at this time, however, it is anticipated that the grading
activities would be designed to balance, and not require import or export of
soil, if possible.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? lf so, generally
describe.
No erosion will occur as a result of this proposed Comprehensive Plan
Amendment. Some erosion could occur on-site as a result of future
construction activities; however, temporary erosfon and sedimentation
conlrol measures to be approved by Kent will be employed to reduce erosion
impacts. All construction during the wet season will comply with the adopted
Surface Water Design Manual concerning site coverage techniques.
S. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
With any future development, the entire site will be cleared and covered with
impervious surfaces as part of the development proposal' Due to the
preliminary nature of the plans, the exact percentage of impervious sutface
associated wíth this project is currently unknown. The subject proposal will
not exceed the maximum impervious surface area as required by code. The
entire project site is currently covers with impervious surfaces.
h. Proposed measures to reduce/control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any:
No erosion will occur as a result of this proposed Comprehensive Plan
Amendment. During future construction, the contractor will follow an
approved temporary erosion and sedimentation control plan meeting Kent
standards. Typical measures, which may be employed, include the use of silt
fences, straw bales, and temporary storm drainage features. Hydroseeding
exposed soils and cleared areas after construction will also reduce the
potential for erosion. All construction during the wet season will comply with
the adopted Suface Wafer Design Manual concerning site coverage
techniques.
2. Air
a,What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust,
automobile, odors, and industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the
project is completed? lf any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if
known.

Gonstruction:
No emissions will occur as a result of this proposed Gomprehensive Plan
Amendment. Emissions and dust particulates generated primarily by
construction equipment will be produced during the construction phase of
this project, The amount of emissions to the air w¡ll þe minimal and will
occur during the actual construction of the development.
Lonq Term Air Qualitv:
Long-term air impacts would be those typically associated wifh Mixed-Use
land uses. Sources of long-term emissions and odor could include vehicle
emissions generated by the new multi-family residential units and
commercial development. The additional vehicular emissions in these areas
are not anticipated to concentrate and therefore are not anticipated to create
a health hazard to the residents or surrounding areas.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal?
lf so, generally describe.
No.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
No emissions will occur as a result of this proposed Comprehensive Plan
Amendment. lf particulates become suspended durÍng future construction,
frequent watering of the síte during the construction phase of the project
would be used to help control dust and other particulates generated on the
site. This will be accomplished in accord with the adopted Surface Water
Design Manual,
a. Surface:
1) ls there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site
(including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, and

Future on-síte storm water runoff will primarily be generated from
roadways, mixed-use structures, and associated driveways. Storm water
will be collected in catch basins within the roadways and/or tightlined from
rooftops and conveyed to proposed underground detention facility(s)
located toward lhe southern edge ofthe project site. Any future storm
water facility will be constructed to discharge to the natural downstream
system. The lot coverage standards of the existing and proposed land use
designation are identical and no discernable increase in storm water out-
flow is expected.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? lf so, generally describe.
Some pollutants normally associated with multi-family residential
development could enter the surface water; however, the amount would be
minimal since the on-site drainage will be conveyed to a water quality and
detention facility in conformance with the adopted Surface llVater Design
Manual.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts,
if any:
The storm water runoff from future development will be collected and
conveyed to a detention facility{s) that will be designed and constructed ¡n

15. Public Services
a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for example: fire
protection, police protection, health care, schools, other)? lf so, generally describe.
The completed project may result in an increased need for police and fire
protection as well as emergency medical service.
Additional school facilíties may also be required to address the increase in
demand.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any
The project will be designed and constructed with adequate water pressure,
properly located fire hydrants and roadways constructed to allow adequate
access for fire, medic and police protection vehicles, lncreased property
valuation will result in increased taxes generated to support public services.
Any future proponent will pay necessary school mitígation fees to offset the
potential impacts to the school system.
16. Utilities
a. lndicate utilities currently available at the site:
E!Cg!¡þi&, NaturalGas, Water, Telephone, Sanitarv Sewer, Seglic Svstem,

DO NOT USE THIS SHEET FOR PROJECT ACTIONS
D. Supplemental Sheet for
Nonproject Actions
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with
the list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal or the types of
activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a
faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emlssions to air;
production, storage, or release oftoxic or hazardous substances, or production of
noise?
The proposed amendment would not likely have any significant increased
impact on storm water discharge. Lot coverage for the Mixed-Use designation
is identical to the current Commercial designation. There could be an increase
in air emissions associated with a higher residential density. However, higher
density residential projects along transit corridors also have a higher expected
use of public transportatlon. Other emissions could possibly increase in
association with a higher density project but it is not likely. lt is unclear if there
would be any notable increase in noise associated with the proposed
amendment. The project is located at the intersection of a major arterial
roadway and noise impacts from the project are not expected.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
The Gity of Kent and State of Washington have adopted various environmental
regulations that limit and control emissions of various types. Any future
development wÍll be subject to these limitations and regulations.
2. Howwould the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The proposed alteration will have no discernable negative impact on any of
these items. The project has the same lot coverage characteristics as the
existing designation.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
The City of Kent and State of Washington have adopted various environmental
regulations that limit and control impacts to plants and animals. Any future
development will be subject to these limitations and regulations.

3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
The proposed alteration will have no discernable negative impact on any of
energy or natural resources. Mixed-Use developments are more efficient in
their use of land then single-family developments. This proposed alteration will
house more people with less resources then a comparable low density
development.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
The City of Kent and State of Washington have adopted various energy code
regulations and established energy efficiency standards. Any future
development will be subject to these regulations.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensiiive areas or
areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as
parks, wilderness, wild and scen¡c rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat,
historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
The proposed alteration will have no discernable increase in ímpact to the on-
site feature
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
The City of Kent and State of Washington have adopted various environmental
regulations that limit and control impacts to environmentally sensitive areas.
Any future development will be subject to these limitations and regulations.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it
would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
The proposed alteration will have no disce¡nable impact on land or shoreline
uses that are incompatible with existing plans. The existing site is developed
with Gommercial uses.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
None. The proposed alteration is compatíble wÍth surrounding uses and will
have no adverse impact on existing plans. The existing site is developed with
Gommercial uses. The proposed Mixed-Use development will add a residential
component to the site.

M¡litary Röêcl Conrp Plan - SEPA Checklist
o.How would the proposal be likely to íncrease demands on hansportation or public
services and util¡ties?
The proposed alteration will increase residential density over the existing
commercial land use designation. The increase in density naturally creates a
more concentrated need for public services. However, the comprehensive plan
encourages infill development because it promotes increased development
within existing service areas where public services are already available and
additional extensions are not required. The project site ís located along an
existíng transít corridor and near a transit hub.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
Any future development will pay applicable impact fees where appropriate.
Sufficient water, sewer and dry utility services exist in the area and additional
service lines are not requ¡red. The project is serviced directly by two existing
transit routes. No additional mitigation is required.
7. ldentify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws
or requirements for the protection of the environment.
The proposed alteration does not conflict with any applicable local, state.or
fedoral €nv¡ronmental regulation.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
None. The project does not conflict with any applicable local, state or federal
environmental regulation

SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Purpose of checklist:
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization
or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an
environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
I n stru ctio ns fo r ap p I i c ants :
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please
answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult
with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use "not applicable" or
"does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown.
You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate
answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-
making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your
proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to
explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be
significant adverse impact.
lnstructions for Lead Agencies:
Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to
evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse
impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed
to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead
agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting
documents.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals:
For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the
applicable parts of sections A and B plus the suppleuErurel sHerr ron ruorupnorecr ncrrorus (part D).
Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and
"property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area,"
respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental
Elements -that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

D. Supplemental sheef for nonproject actions lHrlp]
(lT lS NOT NECESSARY to use this sheet for project actions)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpfulto read them in
conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of
activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or
at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in
generalterms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; pro-
duction, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
Future mixed-use projects would have a higher rate of storm water requirements than
existing zoning, no toxic or hazardous substances and some noise during construc-
tion activities only.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: NONE
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
PLANTS affected because the larger project would displace more plants AND animals with impervious
surfaces and denser population and activities.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
NONE
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? Larger mixed-use
projects will require more energy.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: NONE
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or
areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks,
wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or
cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands? By having a larger, denser mixed-
use project on these sites, the use of the existing adjacent park and YMCA would be greatly
enhanced, thus utilizing the resources nearby.

Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: NONE
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it
would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
It would affect land use by creating a denser project type and would encourage development of a larger
contiguous parcel or multiple parcels, thereby aiding in the urban growth initiatives of the comp plan.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: NONE
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities? Demand would be higher, as opposed to leaving the R8 zoning,
which has a lower demand.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: NONE
7. ldentify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or re-
quirements for the protection of the environment. NO CONFLICT with environmental protec-
tion issues. (no wetland, no streams, no sensitive slopes)

SUBJECT: Transportation Master Plan Update – Goals, Public Outreach
& Project Timeline
SUMMARY: The Transportation Master Plan (TMP) represents the City’s long-range
transportation improvement work program. Staff are planning public outreach
events from August 28, 2019 thru the end of September 2019. This first phase of
public outreach will focus on developing the Transportation Master Plan goals. Staff
from multiple departments developed draft goals based on technical knowledge,
feedback from the public related to other projects and programs, and goals in
existing adopted plans. These draft goals serve as the starting point. The draft
goals will be refined and finalized based on feedback from the public received at
outreach events and online.
The goals are one of multiple tasks underway for the Transportation Master Plan
update. Staff are also compiling information and data to assess trends and existing
conditions, developing Multimodal Level of Service (MMLOS) policies, and
developing the project development process and performance metrics.
SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:
Inclusive Community, Thriving City, Evolving Infrastructure, Innovative Community,
