I posted this to the remodeling group today, since I AM remodeling, but I think it's more of a rough-in question and I didn't get any answers there. Sorry for the repost

I'm moving my kitchen sink to a position where it cannot be vented straight up. It will be under a window.
The drain/vent from my upstairs shower passes by the proposed sink location at a horizontal distance of about 2 feet away.
In the illustration you can see that the shower is the only fixture on this drain. However there is a wc and lav that might tie into its vent; I don't know.
Is what I'm planning what's known as a wet vent? I'm quite sure that's not allowed here, especially since it spans 2 floors. Or does a wet vent refer to using another fixture's HORIZONTAL drain as your vent, while my picture shows the sink tapping into another fixture's VERTICAL drain?
Well I'll try to stop wondering and questioning and await some more qualified answers. Thank you
