Last Friday’s “North Park residents criticize downtown Kent urban plan” article in the Kent Reporter indicated the proposed downtown plan calls for “… rezoning several blocks between First and Fifth Avenues from single-family, low-income housing to multifamily townhouse use.” The City has no zoning designation that calls for “single-family, low-income housing.”
The area in North Park was rezoned to multifamily townhouse (MR-T) eight years ago in conjunction with the 2005 downtown plan update.
The city says it is not proposing to change the zoning of the area.
