Kent Comprehensive Plan

The City of Kent has spent the last two years actively working with the community through workshops, pop-up events, surveys, and other outreach to get your thoughts and priorities for the future of Kent. Your concerns, ideas, and recommendations have been used to shape this plan. As we move closer to the required adoption date at the end of the year, we need your help again. This time we need your feedback on the draft plan, the goals, and policies that is the roadmap for our decision makers for the next 20 years.

Kent Comp Plan Public Review

We want to hear your thoughts on our Draft Comprehensive Plan!

What is a Comprehensive Plan?

A Comprehensive Plan is a long-term policy document that guides how the city will grow and develop, covering key areas like land use, housing, transportation, parks, transportation and economic development. This plan sets a vision for the next 20 years, ensuring that Kent evolves in a way that reflects the needs and values of its residents and visitors alike.

By providing comments on the Draft Plan, you have the opportunity to share your feedback on the elements that make up the plan before they are finalized and adopted.


The comment period is open until November 12, 2024. In addition, the City will hold two public hearings in November where you can provide verbal comments in person or virtually via Zoom. Visit the project website at Engage.KentWA.gov/FutureKent to learn more.

Question
Why are schools not on here? I understand the city of Kent doesn't have any ownership in how schools are operated but a cooperation by the municipality the schools are located in is vital for a successful community. One of the first things new families look at when determining where to live is "How are the schools?". Why wouldn't you want to help the local schools succeed? How can you help the local schools? Impact fees, zoning for new schools, become a Community Partner with the schools.

Concern
This neighborhood, Salt Air Hills, has been an active, vibrant community. The homes here should not be under consideration for displacement.

Suggestion
"people have to walk long distances or bike on sidewalks or in dangerous streets without bike lanes. "

There is no mention of the lack of bike infrastructure in this section, and bikes aren't even explicitly mentioned.
