Senior Planner Evan Lewis provided a presentation regarding proposed
amendments to the regulation of residential open space in Titles 18 and 19 of the
Federal Way Revised Code. This update will provide consistency; clarity;
implement the Housing Action Plan (HAP); and reduce the required amount of
on -site, usable open space.
He highlighted updates were made by staff following the presentation at the
Council Committee meeting (FEDRAC) on July 25.
Mr. Lewis noted the code amendment includes a single-family subdivision open
Federal Way City Council Regular Minutes Page 8 of
10
August 8, 2023
space calculation method update, multifamily open space quantity update,
updated definitions, and provides an open space exemption for developments of
5 or fewer units. It also includes updating to improve consistency of the fee -in -lieu
option between single-family and multi -family, expands the fee -in -lieu option to
the Business (BC) Zone, and removes the allowance for landscape tracts to count
towards open space requirements.
Mr. Lewis referenced one written comment recently received from Benjamin
Taylor, Master Builders Association of King County.
Council thanked Mr. Lewis for the presentation and asked clarifying questions.
Councilmember McDaniel shared he feels the number used for the open space
exemption is largely arbitrary and prefers to see it set at 9.
No public comments were received.
City Clerk Stephanie Courtney read the ordinance title into the record.

SUBJECT: Authorization to Apply for and Accept the Stormwater Capacity Grant
BACKGROUND
During the Regional Operations and Maintenance program meeting on July 13, 2023 the Department of
Ecology announced the availability of Capacity Grant funding in an amount up to $130,000.00 in match -
free funding for each Phase I and II jurisdiction, to use in fulfilling requirements of the NPDES permit
through training, equipment purchases, education and outreach, inspection/monitoring and program
development. The application period closes on September 30, 2023.
Public Works received Capacity Grant funding every grant cycle since Ecology first established the grant
in 2013. In past grant cycles, the City used funds to support the following NPDES program elements:
• Purchase and setup of a new asset management system
• Public education and outreach activities, including Storming the Sound with Salmon
• Public involvement and stewardship activities
• Illicit discharge detection and elimination (IDDE) activities
• Pollution prevention, good housekeeping, and operation and maintenance activities
• Equipment purchases that result directly -in improved compliance with the permit
• Storm system mapping and assessment
For the 2023-2025 capacity grant cycle, the funding will be used to support similar activities for the current
2019-2024 permit and the upcoming 2024-2029 Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater
permit requirements currently being developed by Ecology.

Rebecca Kovar, Environmental Services Division - Contract Coordinator
SUBJECT: Amendment to the Comprehensive Garbage, Recyclables, and
Compostables Collection Contract
Financial Impacts:
Revenue to the City from the Comprehensive Garbage, Recyclables, and Compostables
Collection Contract with Waste Management (WM) varies based on billed accounts and
services. Revenue is remitted monthly in the form of an administrative fee and is credited to
the Solid Waste/Recycling special revenue fund (106). The proposed contract amendment
will not alter revenues or costs.
Back round Information:
King County Solid Waste Division (KCSWD) is changing the rate structure for disposal of
municipal solid waste at the County landfill. Currently, most of KCSWD's revenue comes
from its per -ton fee for waste disposed at County facilities. As the region implements waste
diversion and recycling programs, there will be a corresponding reduction in disposal
revenues. As a result, the County restructured disposal fees into two components: an annual
allocation for each city's share of system tonnage hauled to KCSWD facilities to cover
`fixed' operating costs, and a corresponding reduced basic per -ton fee for waste brought into
the system that reflects `variable' operating costs. This restructure is intended to collect the
same revenue as the status quo while ensuring that the region's transfer and disposal system
is funded to continue future operations.
The restructure requires cities and waste haulers to update contract terms. The proposed
amendment to the Comprehensive Garbage, Recyclables, and Compostables Collection
Contract enables the hauler to meet the obligations established by the rate restructure.
The King County Council approved this rate restructure in 2022, and then delayed
implementation until 2024 to allow time to amend hauler contracts and accommodate the
rate restructure. The proposed amendment is acceptable to our contracted hauler, WM.
Rev 7/l8
At the retail level, the tipping fee component of rates will remain the same as if the rate
restructure had not been implemented. Periodic tipping fee increases authorized by the King
County Council will continue to be applied during annual rate adjustments as per usual, and
there is no need to change itemization on ratepayer invoices.
Rev. 7/18
FIRST AMENDMENT TO COMPREHENSIVE
GARBAGE, RECYCLABLES, AND COMPOSTABLES
COLLECTION SERVICES
This FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE GARBAGE, RECYCLABLES, AND
COMPOSTABLES COLLECTION SERVICES CONTRACT (this "Amendment') is entered into
as of September _, 2023, by and between the City of Federal Way, a municipal corporation of
the State of Washington ("City") and Waste Management of Washington, Inc. ("Contractor").
City and Contractor shall each be referred to herein individually as a "Party" and collectively as
the "Parties."
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Parties entered into the Comprehensive Garbage, Recyclables, and
Compostables Collection Services Contract as of September 1, 2020 (the "Contract');
WHEREAS, as of January 1, 2024, King County ("County") will be restructuring its
disposal rates to determine a fixed annual charge ("FAC") for commercial hauler disposal of all
Garbage at the King County disposal facilities, which will be allocated on a proportionate basis
to each jurisdiction within the King County Disposal System based on the total aggregate tons of
Garbage sent by the respective jurisdictions;
WHEREAS, Garbage from the City is sent to the King County Disposal System and will
therefore receive an allocation of the FAC annually;
WHEREAS, the Contractor shall be responsible for billing the FAC as a disposal charge
to Customers and remitting the FAC to the County;
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Contract to describe the Composite
Commercial Rate ("CCR") methodology the Contractor will use to annually allocate and invoice
the FAC and the County commercial hauler tipping fee ("County Tipping Fee") to Customers;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements and
promises contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Capitalized Terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings set forth in the
Contract.
2. Section 5.1.2. Itemization on Invoices. The fourth paragraph of Section 5.1.2 of the Contract
shall be deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following: "The Contractor shall invoice
Drop -Box Garbage Customers the Annual CCR (as described in Section 5.3.2) based on the
applicable Drop -Box Container weight without mark-up."
3. Section 5.3.2. Changes in Disposal Fees, shall be deleted and replaced in its entirety with
the following:
"5.3.2 Chances in Disposal Fees . As of January 1, 2024, the Contractor shall annually
adjust the disposal fee component of rates to reflect increases or decreases in the
County Tipping Fee and King County Fixed Annual Charge ("FAC'). The Contractor shall
First Amendment to Contract -City of Federal Way Page 1 of 11
utilize the Annual Composite Commercial Rate ("Annual CCR") methodology to annually
adjust the disposal fee component of Customer rates to incorporate the FAC as follows:
a. On or before September 1st of each year, the County shall notify the City and
Contractor of the County Tipping Fee, FAC, and estimated commercial Garbage
tonnage for the next calendar year. The FAC shall be divided by the County's
estimated commercial Garbage tonnage which shall be expressed as a per -ton
charge (the "Per -Ton FAC").
b. The Per -Ton FAC shall be added to the County Tipping Fee that will be
applicable during the next year, the sum of which shall be the Annual CCR for
each ton of City Garbage during the next year.
c. Adjustments to the disposal fee component of rates charged to Customers shall
be based on percentage increase or decrease in the Annual CCR from the
previous year, and further adjusted by the excise tax on the change in the
disposal fee component.
Specific examples of rate modifications due to Annual CCR are provided in Exhibit F.
Adjustments to the disposal fee component shall be made in units of one cent ($0.01).
Fractions less than one cent ($0.01) shall not be considered when making adjustments.
On or before October 1 st of each year, the Contractor shall submit to the City for review and
approval a Rate Adjustment Statement, calculating the new rates and the Annual CCR for
the next year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the County notifies the City
and the Contractor of the County Tipping Fee, FAC, and estimated commercial Garbage
tonnage for the next calendar year after September 1 st, the Contractor shall submit to the
City for review and approval a Rate Adjustment Statement no later than thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice from the County. The City shall have thirty (30) days to approve or
disapprove the calculations. If the City disapproves the Contractor's calculations, the Parties
shall meet immediately thereafter to resolve any disagreement as to the correct calculation
of the rate adjustment under subsection (b) above or the Annual CCR. Upon approval of the
calculations, the Contractor shall provide 45 days' notice of the new rates to its Customers,
and the new rates shall be effective (i) on January 1st, or (ii) on the first day of the calendar
month following the end of the 45-day notice period, whichever is later. Any delays in City
approval or disapproval shall not be cause for a delay in implementation of the new rates
and the Annual CCR.
The business and occupation tax shall be applied to King County disposal fees.
4. Exhibit F, Fee Modification Examples, shall be deleted and replaced in its entirety with
Attachment A hereto.
5. Exhibit E Contractor Rates, shall be deleted and replaced in its entirety with Attachment B
hereto.
Entire Agreement: Full Force and Effect. This Amendment constitutes the entire agreement
between the City and the Contractor, and there are no promises, conditions, terms,
obligations, statements or guarantees other than those contained herein. No modifications
or amendments shall be valid unless in writing and fully executed by both Parties. Except as
First Amendment to Contract -City of Federal Way Page 2 of 11
otherwise provided herein, all other terms and provision of the Contract shall remain in full
force and effect.

ATTACHMENT A
EXHIBIT F - RATE MODIFICATION EXAMPLES
Collection Component Adjustment
The collection component listed in Exhibit D will be increased or decreased by the amount of the CPI
change: NCC = PCC x [1 + (nCPI - oCPI) / oCPI
Where NCC = The new collection charge component of the Customer rate for a
particular service level
PCC = The previous collection charge component of the Customer rate
for a particular service level
nCPI = The most recent CPI value
oCPI - The previous period's CPI value
Using a collection component rate of $15.00 as an example, if the previous CPI is 143.2, the new CPI is
149.3 the collection component of the rate will increase from $ 15.00 to $ 15.64 on January 1, 2024.
New Collection Component = $15.00 x [1 + (149.3 - 143.2) / 143.21 = $15.64
Annual CCR Com ponent Ad"ustment
The Annual CCR component of the Customer charges listed in Exhibit E reflects the combination of the
Per -Ton FAC and the County Tipping Fee. Any increase or decrease in the Annual CCR will not become
effective until the new Annual CCR charges become effective and are actually charged to the Contractor.
The Annual CCR component of each service level will be adjusted as follows:
Step 1: nFAC = FAC / TONS
Step 2: nCCR = nFAC + NTF
Step 3: A = ODC x (nCCR / oCCR)
Step 4: NDC = A + [(A-ODC) x CETR
Where
nFAC = The new Per -Ton FAC
FAC = The new overall King County FAC
TONS The King County estimated commercial garbage tonnage for the
upcoming year
nCCR = The new Annual CCR for the upcoming year, dollars per ton
First Amendment to Contract -City of Federal Way Page 5 of 11
NTF = The new County Tipping Fee, dollars per ton
A = The new pre -excise tax adjusted Annual CCR component
ODC = The old Annual CCR component of the Customer rate for a
particular service level;
oCCR = The old Annual CCR, dollars per ton
NDC = The new Annual CCR component of the Customer rate for a
particular service level
CETR = Current excise tax rate (the current State excise tax rate; 0.0175
used for this example).
For example, using an arbitrary one 35-gallon cart rate of $20.00 per month with a collection
component of $15.00 and a disposal component of $5.00:
If the 2024 King County FAC is $22,614,181 and the estimated 2024 tonnage is 656,580, then the new
Per -Ton FAC would be $34.44. If the new County Tipping Fee is $150.83 per ton, then the new Annual
CCR would be $185.27 per ton starting January 1, 2024.
If the old disposal component is $5.00, the old Annual CCR is $168.68 per ton, and the State Excise Tax
rate is 1.75%, the new Annual CCR component of the Customer rate will be $5.50.
New Per -Ton FAC = $22,614,181 / 656,580 = $34.44 per ton
New Annual CCR = $34.44 + $150.83 = $185.27 per ton
New Pre -Excise Tax Adjusted Annual CCR Component = $5.00 x ($185.27 / $168.68) _ $5.49
New Annual CCR Component = $5.49 + [($5.49 - $5.00) x 1.75%] _ $5.50
Thus, the new Customer charge for one 35-gallon cart per week Residential Curbside would be $15.64
plus $5.50, equaling $21.14 per month.
Administrative Fee Adjustment
The Contractor's rates shown in Exhibit E include an embedded City Administrative Fee, which may be
adjusted from time to time, pursuant to Section 5.2. The initial contract rates have incorporated an
Administrative Fee corresponding to a 3.2%fee on gross receipts from those Customers, as follows (1
yard, 1 pickup per week as example):
Collection Fee ($78.47) + CCR (Disposal Fee) ($34.94) + Administrative Fee ($3.64) + Excise Tax at 1.5%
on City Administrative Fee ($0.05)= Customer rate of 5117.08.
In the event the City Administrative Fee is adjusted, the City Administrative Fee portion of the
Contractor's Customer rates shall be adjusted in the manner shown in Exhibit F, which retains the
Contractor's underlying compensation and ensures that the Contractor remains whole when the City
Administrative Fee percent is changed overtime.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 27, 2023
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Judge Dave Larson
SUBJECT: Therapeutic Courts Interagency Agreement
Financial Impacts:
The Court applied for and received an allocation of $174,743 out of monies appropriated by
the legislature in the 2023 session to be spent between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024. The
monies are allocated to the City as reimbursement for expenses incurred by the Court and we
are seeking ratification of the agreement.
The monies awarded are as follows:
1. $135,000 for the continuation of Peer Services with Peer Washington/Peer Kent at
Federal Way and Des Moines Municipal Courts;
2. $9,503 for staff equipment for our move of Community Court to the Federal Way
Regional Library in partnership with the King County Library System;
3. $30,240 for domestic violence treatment for qualified defendants.
Background Information:
1. Peer Support
We had a successful experience with the use of peer navigators and this money will allow us
to continue with that program. Our contract with Peer Washington provides 1.6 FTEs of peer
support services with 1.0 FTE assigned to Federal Way and .6 assigned to Des Moines.
2. Staff Equipment
These funds will pay for necessary computers, a printer/scanner, microphones, camera for
Zoom, television for projecting Zoom participants, and security equipment. The Federal
Way Regional Library and the Court will partner with sharing of a resource network housed
at the library.
3. Domestic Violence Treatment
Domestic violence treatment is not covered by insurance. This means that many defendants
cannot afford treatment and, therefore, do not comply. This creates problems ranging from
delays in court proceedings to j ail time for noncompliance with treatment. Many defendants
have other issues such as substance abuse, mental illness, unemployment, and housing
instability. This money will be used to pay for treatment with the expectation that defendants
in the program will also be engaged in other services.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 5, 2023
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Tanja Carter, Economic Development Director
SUBJECT: ARPA Grant Projects for Economic Development
Financial Impacts:
The City Council allocated $750,000 in ARPA funds to support economic development
projects in the 23/24 biennial budget. The proposed projects outlined below will use
$715,760 of the total $750,000.
Backp_round Information:
In November 2022, City Council approved a proposal to allocate $750,000 in ARPA funds to
support economic development. Since the beginning of 2023 various projects have been
developed based on in field research and best practices in economic development.
Additionally, care has been taken to not "reinvent the wheel" if successful projects or
programs already exist. The intention is to leverage those existing resources, subject matter
experts or existing infrastructure to ensure that the funds can support as many businesses in
succeeding for as long as possible.
Projects included will support business growth, business retention and attraction, tourism,
and workforce development. As the projects are initiated, success metrics will be defined and
reported to Council on an ongoing basis (quarterly economic development report).
The project concepts have been shared, in general, with the Federal Way Chamber and Small
Business Development Center (SBDC) with the goal of collaboration in as many facets as
possible as the projects progress. The projects were created within the framework of "what
problem are we addressing/solutioning for?" and are detailed below:
Grant Writer
Hire a contract term staff member to be more proactive in developing various city needs into
projects that can be used to search for and procure grants through federal, state, and private
sources. Estimated cost: $95,000.00.
Grant Writing Workshop Series
Provide businesses and non -profits in Federal Way access to a series of workshops with
subj ect-matter experts in grant funding and grant writing thus enabling them to learn how to
procure funding in a sustainable way. Estimated cost: $8,000.00.
Fundraising Workshop Series
Provide businesses and non -profits in Federal Way access to a series of workshops with
subj ect-matter experts in fundraising thus enabling them to learn how to procure funding in a
sustainable way. Companion class to the grant writing series. Estimated cost: $8,000.00.
Top 100 People, Places, & Things in Federal Way History
Tourism opportunities slowed significantly throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic; adversely
affecting businesses. As the city returns to normal, one of several strategies within this
Economic Development ARPA program is to reinvigorate tourism and reignite pride
throughout the city through discovery and promotion of what is authentic to Federal Way.
This program will lay the foundation to enable future programming, promotion,
workforce/business and tourism attraction with authentic stories, venues, experiences not
found in other cities. Estimated cost: $20,000.00.
Placemaking Strategy
Through multifaceted research, it is noted that the business community is generally unaware
of Federal Way's geographical location within Washington nor what Federal Way provides
as a business hub. This project will identify, highlight, and promote Federal Way advantages
to the business community. This community includes: prospective businesses, site selectors,
real estate developers, workforce talent (employees), and economic development
professionals. The project will effectively become a "digital sales team" for Federal Way to
increase awareness. Estimated cost: $185,000.00.
Economic Development Website Audit
Existing economic development websites are out of date in both structure and content,
decreasing visibility to businesses, tourists, site -selectors, developers, and the general public
(visitfw, downtownfederalway, shoplocalfederalway... ). The audit will create a SWOT
(Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) and GAP analysis (comparative data
between current statistics and target statistics) using competitive cities for comparison to
understand what the target audiences (site selectors, tourists, real estate developers,
businesses...) expect and where improvements can be made. Estimated cost: $12,760.00.
Economic Development Website Rebuild/Rebrand:
After auditing existing websites, revamped and/or additional websites will be created to
better align with target audience needs. The websites will be more discoverable, user-friendly
sites that are easily maintained through minimal in-house effort. The rebranding and
rebuilding strategy will also enable the websites to be a "virtual sales team" to drive tourism
and business attraction as well as promotions that the Economic Development department
undertakes. Estimated cost: $17,000.00.
Shop Federal Way Upgrade:
Low digital literacy rates, especially for small business owners during COVID negatively
impacted businesses ability to earn profits and retain customers, Upgrading the existing
shoplocalfederalway.com site to an e-commerce enabled platform, in addition to directly
providing ongoing technical assistance to businesses for set up, troubleshooting and
maintenance of individual storefronts; will provide opportunities for business to not only be
supported in digital literacy and online storefronts; but will also create a more vibrant online
community for consumers. The ongoing marketing of the site will be funded through a small
sliding scale fee (and the only direct cost to businesses) that will directly be invested in
digitally promoting the website so it can be found by prospective customers. Estimated cost:
$80,000.00.
Business Enterprise Start-up Training:
Federal Way seeks to utilize the tools and structured growth strategies within the existing
Washington Department of Commerce Business Enterprise Start -Up Training Program to
provide education, advancement, and on -going support to start-up's in Federal Way.
Estimated cost: $40,000.00.
Business & CTE Partnership Program
Businesses are increasingly having trouble finding and retaining workforce. Economic
Development, in collaboration with Federal Way Public Schools and Highline College, will
develop a program to connect businesses to school Career & Technical Education (CTE)
programs through (for example) on site visits, internships and job fairs. The goal is to help
develop a workforce pipeline between local schools and local businesses. Estimated cost:
$20,000.00
Business Outreach Programs:
After completion of the first annual business outreach to 500 city businesses; feedback will
be compiled from the qualitative question asked ("what keeps you up at night as a business
owner"). A program or programs will be created and executed to directly address said
business concerns. The program(s) progress will also be measured and monitored and
businesses will be encouraged to share feedback at the next annual business outreach - which
is designed to measure city business interaction/support as well as overall business
environment overtime. Estimated cost: $100,000.00.
Retail Attraction Strategy:
The City desires to support retail property owners in identifying and attracting potential new
retail opportunities. As such, the City will analyze the retail landscape through study and
analysis of current retail absorption, consumer demographics, geographical desirability etc.in
Federal Way / regionally; and provide this information to property owners (depending on
their needs) to support in identifying and helping attract prospects as retail vacancy increases.
Estimated cost: $30,000.00.
Hotel Absorption Analysis:
The City wishes to confirm whether and what type of additional hotel could be absorbed in
Federal Way on the TC-3 site. This analysis will provide data and financial modelling as to
which type of hotel, which brand and what a multi -year financial operations forecast looks
like. Additionally, support will then be provided to attract above said hotel, should it prove
to be viable. Estimated cost: $20,000.00.
In -Home Childcare Business Incubator:
There is currently a lack of geographically -accessible childcare in Federal Way which creates
hardships for both businesses and employees; thus limiting business growth potential. This
program will partner with childcare training institutes to offer certification and continuous
support to entrepreneurs seeking to establish childcare businesses in Federal Way. Estimated
cost: $80,000.00.
The above project costs are initial estimates and will be confirmed in Q4 2023 as projects are
initiated. Any remaining funding will be allocated to projects on an as needed and success
basis.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 31, 2023
TO: City Council
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Keith Niven, AICP, CEcD, Community Development Director
Chaney Skadsen, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Request for Authorization to Apply for Middle Housing Grant
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
There is no local match requirement to the city for applying for the Middle Housing Grant.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The 2023-2025 State Operating Budget (Senate Bill 5187) directs the Washington State
Department of Commerce to administer grants and provide technical assistance to cities or
counties for actions relating to adopting ordinances that plan for and accommodate housing.
Commerce will make approximately $4.5 million available in statewide grants to implement
House Bill 1110 (2023) supporting the development of middle housing.
HB 1110 defines "Middle housing" as "buildings that are compatible in scale, form, and
character with single-family houses and contain two or more attached, stacked, or clustered
homes including duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, fiveplexes, sixplexes, townhouses, stacked flats,
courtyard apartments, and cottage housing."
A key provision of the bill mandates that cities must adhere to its specifications and terms within
six months of the subsequent periodic update required under RCW 36.70A.130. In this case, the
City of Federal Way is scheduled to adopt the Periodic Update to the Comprehensive Plan
December of 2024. Consequently, the city is under obligation to implement and conform to the
mandates of HB 1110 by June 2025.
MAYOR's RECOMMENDATION
The Mayor recommends authorization to submit application for Missing Middle Grant.

In 2023, the Washington State Legislature passed E2SHB 1110 ("HB 1110"), which substantially changes the way many cities in
Washington are to plan for housing. HB 1110 requires cities of certain sizes and locations to allow multiple dwelling units per lot in a
middle housing type of form. Commerce is collecting questions from local governments about the bill and other related legislation
passed this session, and has answered certain questions received below, with more to follow. If you have additional questions or
need for technical assistance, please email dave-osaki@commerce.wa.gov or Anne.Fritzel@commerce.wa.gov.
What is middle housing? HB 1110 defines "Middle housing" as "buildings that are compatible in scale, form, and character with
single-family houses and contain two or more attached, stacked, or clustered homes including duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes,
fiveplexes, sixplexes, townhouses, stacked flats, courtyard apartments, and cottage housing."
What types of assistance will be coming from Commerce?
• Model ordinances: Commerce is directed under the HB 1110 to publish model ordinances no later than six months following the
effective date of the bill, which will be in January of 2024. Stakeholders will be notified of the opportunity to review drafts of the
model middle housing ordinances in the fall of 2023 and invited to provide comment.
• Grant program: Commerce will offer a statewide competitive grant program in the 2023-2025 biennium to help jurisdictions
implement the bill's requirements. All grant funds must be expended by June of 2025.
• Continuing guidance from Commerce: Commerce has already developed a web page on middle housing, which includes tools
such as PowerPoint presentations, photos, posters, and will include objective design standards, and a pro -forma calculator that
local governments can use to communicate about middle housing.' Commerce will also be developing the following to
implement the middle housing legislation:

E2SHB 1110 MIDDLE HOUSING PRELIMINARY INFORMATION, JULY 13, 2023
\I
cities currently subject to the requirements of HB 1110, based on 2020 Office of Financial Management population data, and
Commerce's best understandings
When does a local government need to allow middle housing? Cities subject to the bill must implement the requirements no later
than six months after their next periodic update required under RCW 36.70A.130. Cities in the central Puget Sound region (within
King, Kitsap, Snohomish and Pierce counties) have the earliest periodic review deadline, on December 31, 2024, which means that
they must implement the bill by June 30, 2025- Additional cities may be added to this list over time or moved to the next tier, should
they meet the population threshold in future years. Commerce recommends cities look ahead to when their population might meet
the thresholds in the bill and be prepared to meet the requirement, if applicable, within 12 months after their next implementation
progress report required under RCW 36.70A.130.6
DESIGN AND DENSITY
What does E2SHB 1110 mean when it uses the term "density"? "Density" measured in "dwelling units per acre" has traditionally
been the way that zoning ordinances have regulated residential land use. HB 1110 introduces the term "unit density" because the
bill focuses instead on the -minimum number of dwelling units on a lot, not on a per acre basis. Local jurisdictions may need to
review and amend comprehensive plan policies and development regulations to take this into consideration, at least for
accommodating middle housing.
How can cities adopt design and development standards that reflect differences between detached single -unit houses and
"middle housing" types? One way to adopt design and development standards that reflect differences between detached single -
unit houses and "middle housing" types is to adopt standards for middle housing that are less restrictive than existing standards
required for detached single-family residences. Because HB 1110 Section (6)(b) states that middle housing regulations may not be
.more restrictive" than for detached single-family residences, there is flexibility for some standards to be less restrictive.7 One
example might be to allow driveway widths that are narrower for certain middle housing types than for a detached house. The less
restrictive standard, however, must still be objective (see further below in a separate question regarding EHB 1293's objective
development regulations).
An alternate way to adopt design and development standards is through the administrative design review process in HB 1110
Section 3(6)(a). "Administrative design review" is defined, in part, as, "...a development permit process whereby an application is
reviewed, approved, or denied by the planning director or the planning director's designee based solely on objective design and
development standards without a public predecision hearing..."' Objective design review standards enable a city to adopt those
middle housing specific standards that it deems necessary to achieve compatibility in residential zones where detached single family
houses are the predominant use. These middle housing standards may include design and development standards that are not
existing requirements for a detached single family residence so long as these design and development standards are "objective" and
promote compatibility. The middle housing definition conveys that objective design and development standards are intended to
make middle housing buildings compatible with, not identical to, the scale, form and character of detached single family houses. e
"NEW* QUESTION JULY 2023: Can a city still have a design review board? While some cities may choose to have a design review
board review certain types of permits, e.g., for commercial development, HB 1110 allows only administrative design review for
middle housing. This means that the planning director or the planning director's designee must decide based on objective criteria,
and not a design review board.10 Another 2023 bill, ESHB 1293, places constraints on all design review, not just for housing, including
a limitation of no more than one public meeting and the requirement to use only "clear and objective" development regulations.

9 See E2SHB 1110, Sec 2(21) "Middle housing" means buildings that are compatible in scale, form, and character with single-family houses and
contain two or more attached, stacked, or clustered homes including duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, fiveplexes, sixplexes, townhouses, stacked
flats, courtyard apartments, and cottage housing.

E2SHB 1110 MIDDLE HOUSING PRELIMINARY INFORMATION, JULY 13, 2023
v3, i
*NEW* QUESTION JULY 2023 Are cities required to adopt Commerce's 2023 Objective Design and Development Standards?
No. The standards in the Objective Design and Development Standards Toolkit are provided solely as a resource for cities to
consider at their discretion to provide for middle housing. Commerce will prepare model ordinances by January 2024 specific to HB
1110 requirements.
Given that all cities must allow two accessory dwelling units per lot under HB 1337, how does this harmonize with E2SHB 1110
(middle housing)? HB 1337 (section 4(1)(c)) requires that, within urban growth areas, cities and counties allow two accessory
dwelling units on all lots in zoning districts that allow single-family homes. HB 1110 (section 3(5)), requires that cities allow at least
six of the nine types of middle housing to achieve the required unit count.
A city must allow accessory dwelling units and such units may help achieve the unit count, AND the city also must allow middle
housing types (such as a duplex) that can satisfy the minimum density11 (i.e., unit count per lot). For example, where a city must
allow two or four units per lot, it does not have to increase the unit count to also accommodate two ADUs.12 A city may choose to
allow such a higher count but is not required to do so. Both bills require that a city allow separate sale of units and the land they sit
upon.
*NEW* QUESTION JULY 2023 Is a city required to change the name of zoning districts that include "single-family" (or something
similar) in the title? No. HB 1110 does not require that a new name, be assigned to a zoning district, however, some cities have
chosen to rename their single-family zones. For example, the City of Walla Walla has renamed its previous "single family" zones as
"Neighborhood Residential Zones" which allow both detached and middle housing types. A city that wishes to rename an existing
zoning district, or to create, name, and map a new one, has authority to do so as a legislative action,
LOT SPLITS AND SUBDIVISION
Does HB 1110 require a city to allow subdivision of land into lots smaller than 11000 square feet and then also require that the city
allow additional units on these small lots? HB 1110 Section 3(6)(g) states, in part, "Any city subject to the requirements of this
section ... are not required to achieve the .... density under this act on lots after subdivision below 1,000 square feet unless the city
chooses to enact smaller allowable lot sizes." A city has discretion to allow subdivision of land into lots less than 1,000 square feet
and allow additional units on each of those lots, but is not required to do so. While lots may be subdivided (or even if a lot is not
subdivided), the ability to fully achieve four units per lot, for instance, may be limited by the size of the lot and the application of
development standards such as maximum lot coverage, parking, and setback requirements.
TRANSIT STOPS AND PARKING
*NEW* QUESTION JULY 2023: The middle housing bill requires increases in allowed density within "walking distance of a major
transit stop". Does this mean distance is to be measured along some reasonable path, such as street network or by a straight line
distance? A city may use a method of measuring walking distance that is not just a straight line distance (although using a straight
line distance is acceptable if a city chooses that method). To measure walking distance typically means to calculate the actual
walking distance of each path (whether sidewalk, street edge, or trail) that connects one location to another. For purposes of HB
1110, this would include measuring the walking distance of each pedestrian route leading from a lot to the lot or specific right of
way location on which a major transit stop is located. This type of measurement can be done using certain computerized mapping
applications. However, it is likely to result in a smaller total area (and not identified by standard shape, such as a circle) on a map
than a simple measurement that radiates equidistant from the major transit stop. For practical reasons, jurisdictions are encouraged
1- E2SHB 1110, Section 3(5) states, "A city must allow at least six of the nine types of middle housing to achieve the unit density required in
subsection (1) of this section. A city may allow accessory dwelling units to achieve the unit density required in subsection SJ of this section, cities
are not required to allow accessory dwelling units or middle housing types beyond the density requirements in subsection (1) of this section. A city
must also allow zero lot line short subdivision where the number of lots created is equal to the unit density required in subsection (1) of this
section."
12 E2SHB 1110 and EHB 1337 do not expressly state how to reconcile the different requirements between the two bills for jurisdictions with a two
unit density requirement per lot.
E2SHB 1110 MIDDLE HOUSING PRELIMINARY INFORMATION, JULY 13, 2023
V3 1
to define a station area using logical boundaries such as roads, edges of land use designations, or other features to delineate a
logical area.
*NEW* QUESTION July 2023 What is the maximum off-street parking requirement for middle housing on a lot exactly 6,000
square feet in area? E2SHB 1110 Section 3(6)(e) and (f) address off-street parking requirements for middle housing based on lot
size as follows,
"(e) Shall not require more than one off-street parking space per unit as a condition of permitting development of middle
housing on lots smaller than 6,000 square feet before any zero lot line subdivisions or lot splits;
(f) Shall not require more than two off-street parking spaces per unit as a condition of permitting development of middle
housing on lots greater than 6,000 square feet before any zero lot line subdivisions or lot splits,"
A lot exactly 6,000 square feet is not addressed. In instances where a lot is 6,000 square feet, a jurisdiction may specify in its
development regulations whether (6)(e) or (6)(f) will apply. Regardless, fewer parking spaces than the maximum under HB 1110 may
be appropriate in many locations. In general, in this specific situation, Commerce recommends requiring fewer parking spaces to
reduce barriers to housing development. A developer may choose to provide additional parking spaces.
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS:
Commerce has received additional questions, which will be answered in further updates, including:
• How are jurisdictions to allow zero lot line subdivisions?
• How does the definition of Major Transit Stop, which includes, "fixed guideway systems", apply?
• How does the provision in ESHB 1293 about height apply to "stepbacks" in particular circumstances (such as for
properties adjacent to single-family zones)?
• Should airport overlay areas be exempted from needing to allow additional middle housing?
• Are there best practices for wildfire/urban interface areas that could be used for E2SHB 1110 implementation?
• Will Commerce provide guidance to utilities to help with growth modeling?
• E2SHB 1110, EHB 1337, and ESHB 1293 establish requirements for local government development regulations, but not
comprehensive plans. Do we need to adopt plan policies that reference or align with these new regulatory changes?
• Can a city adopt and apply middle housing design and development standards through an overlay zone?
• What type of design standards may cities require for accessory dwelling units?
• How should land capacity be calculated, given that more units will be allowed?
• Does E25HB 1110 have any bearing on vacant residential land that is yet to be platted? The bill does not seem to
indicate if it only applies to platted lots of record as of 2023, or if lots created through future residential plats would
also be affected.
AFFORDABILITY
• Would the bill requirement for mid -size cities to allow 4 units per lot outside % mile distance from a major transit stop
mean we cannot allow additional units without an affordability requirement?
• Does E2SHB 1110 require jurisdictions to allow plats within Y. mile of transit with 4-plexes on each lot, or does that
requirement only apply to existing lots meeting the size requirements of the zoning?
• Does E2SHB 1110 allow jurisdictions to apply affordability requirements within X mile of transit?
• Would an affordability requirement that provided the same number of affordable units, but some flexibility in the
types of units allowed, be considered compliant?

TO: Land Use & Transportation Committee
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Keith Niven, CD Director —
SUBJECT: MFTE Application Deadline
Financial Impacts:
There are no fiscal impacts to the City for adopting the proposed code amendment.
Back round Information:
Heartland, LLC was hired by the City to look at existing codes and policies that might be limiting
housing production within the City. Heartland presented to the Planning Commission in January
and to the Land Use & Transportation Committee in February. Based on their existing conditions
evaluation and gap analysis, Heartland recommended 9 actions to address issues they found. These
recommendations may be summarized as:
1. Expand the Multi Family Tax Exemption (FWRC 3.30.030) to the Community Business
(BC) zone;
2. Reduce the amount of ground floor non-residential space that is required;
3. Increase building height within 100 feet of single family for the BC zone;
4. Reduce the parking requirement for the BC zone;
5. Make consistent the open space requirement and allow for a fee in lieu of option;
6. Allow stormwater to be placed in vaults within the BC zone;
7. Provide predictability for school impact fees;
8. Remove the City's inclusionary requirement; and,
9. Remove the restrictions on building form.
Since recommendation 1 is the only recommendation to impact Title 3 (the others were to Title
19), this item was forwarded and approved by the City Council as a stand-alone recommendation.
During the process to expand the MFTE program to the BC zone, the City received public
comment requesting the City to revise its code to allow for a later time in the permitting and
construction process to submit the MFTE application.
Staff reviewed codes from other King County cities and found the following to be the procedures
found in other cities:

Following this review and conversations with the community, staff recommend the City allow for
the greatest flexibility to the applicant to utilize this tool. The proposed ordinance has code similar
to that found in the cities of Kirkland and Auburn allowing the MFTE application to be submitted
any time prior to Certificate of Occupancy.
The proposed Ordinance also contains non -substantive clean-up edits.
ORDINANCE NO.23-
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Federal Way, Washington, relating to
modifying the City's multifamily dwelling unit limited property tax
exemption program; amending FWRC 3.30.010, 3.30.040, 3.30.050,
and 3.30.060 (Amending Ordinance Nos. 03-438, 09-606 and 23-964).
WHEREAS, in 1995 the Washington State Legislature adopted Chapter 84.14 RCW, to
encourage increased residential opportunities in cities required to plan under the Growth
Management Act, by providing for special property tax valuations for eligible multifamily housing
in targeted urban, residential areas; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 84.14 further authorizes cities with a population of at least fifty
thousand to adopt procedures to implement the special property tax valuations; and
WHEREAS, in 1998 the Federal Way City Council adopted the Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan, to implement the planning requirements of the Growth Management Act,
Chapter 36.70A RCW ("GMA"); and
WHEREAS, in 2022, the City hired Heartland, LLC to look at measures the City could
take to improve housing production in the City; and
WHEREAS, in 2023, Heartland, LLC recommended nine actions for the City to take to
improve housing production in the City; and
WHEREAS, in 2023 the Federal Way City Council adopted Ordinance 23-964, expanding
the residential targeted area to include the Community Business (BC) zone; and
WHEREAS, public comment received during the review of Ordinance 23-964 requested
the City to look at the provisions of FWRC 3.30.060 specifically as to the timing for when an
application to the City must be made; and
Ordinance No. 23- Page 1 of 8
WHEREAS, the BC zone is described in the City's Comprehensive Plan as "allowing a
broad mix of uses, including general, specialty, and service retail; commercial; office;
commercial/residential mixed -use; and supportive uses"; and
WHEREAS, the Council desires to expand the flexibility and usefulness of the City's
MFTE program by allowing an application deadline later in the permitting and construction
process.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. FWRC 3.30.010 is hereby amended to read as follows:

the City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan, speeffieall r eek C P ° and 10; and/or
(2) Encourage residential opportunities, including affordable housing, within the community
business, city center core and frame; and/or
(3) Stimulate new construction of multifamily housing in the community business, city center core
and frame to increase housing opportunities; and/or
(4) Assist in directing future population growth into the community business, city center core and
frame, thereby reducing development pressures on single-family residential neighborhoods; and/or
(5) Achieve development densities that are more conducive to transit use in the community
business, city center core and frame; and/or
Ordinance No. 23- Page 2 of 8
(6) Promote community development and community business, city center core and frame
revitalization, in fulfillment of the Comprehensive Plan.
(Ord. No. 09-606, § 1, 3-17-09; Ord. No. 03-438, § 2, 2-18-03. Code 2001 § 14-230.)
Section 2. FWRC 3.30.040 is hereby amended to read as follows:
3.30.040 Tax exemption — Duration — Valuation — Exceptions.

a
eei4ffieate; and
(b) For properties for which applications for certificates of tax exemption eligibility are submitted
under Chapter 84.14 RC W-er-a€ter r�, '?°°', the value is exempt:
(i) For eight successive years beginning January 1 st of the year immediately following the calendar
year of issuance of the certificate; or
(ii) For 12 successive years beginning January 1 st of the year immediately following the calendar
year of issuance of the certificate, if the property otherwise qualifies for the exemption under this
chapter and meets the conditions in this subsection. For the property to qualify for the 12-year
exemption under this subsection, the applicant must commit to renting or selling at least 20 percent
of the multifamily housing units as affordable housing units to low and moderate -income
households, and the property must satisfy that commitment and any additional affordability and
income eligibility conditions adopted by the local government under this chapter. In the case of
Ordinance No. 23- Page 3 of 8
projects intended exclusively for owner occupancy, the minimum requirement of this subsection
may be satisfied solely through housing affordable to moderate -income households.
(2) Limits on exemption. The exemption does not apply to the value of land or to the value of
nonhousing improvements not qualifying under FWRC 3.30.050, nor does the exemption apply to
increases in assessed valuation of land and nonqualifying improvements. This article also does not
apply to increases in assessed valuation made by the assessor on nonqualifying portions of building
and value of land, nor to increases made by lawful order of a county board of equalization, the
Department of Revenue, or a county, to a class of property throughout the county or specific area
of the county to achieve the uniformity of assessment or appraisal required by law.

Exhibit A
Potential Funding Sources
This section provides an overview of potential funding sources to fund projects
identified
in this chapter. All funding sources discussed below will be considered when
determining a budget for a project. A combination of several sources is typically
used to fund projects.
City General Fund
General Funds from the City are allocated to the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural
Services Department.
Capital Project Fund - Parks
The Capital Project Fund provides for the acquisition or construction of park
facilities except for those facilities financed by proprietary and trust funds. The
major source of revenue for this Fund is general obligation bond proceeds, grants
from other agencies, local taxes and contributions from other funds. All park costs
associated with acquisitions, improvements, issuance of bonds, and other costs
shall be paid by this Fund. This funding source is tied to the City's 2-year budget
cycle.
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)
As a city planning under the Washington State Growth Management Act, Federal
Way receives REET funds which are generally used for capital projects as described
under state law. A REET is derived from a modest tax on the sales of real property
within the City. As of January 1, 2018, the City's REET rate was 0.5 percent.1
Voter -approved Bonds/Levies
Voter -approved General obligation bonds can be used for acquisition or
development and are typically repaid through an annual property tax levy through
the maturity period of the bonds. General obligation bonds typically mature in 15
to 20 years.
Councilmanic Bonds
Bonds issued by the City Council. This type of bond does not require citizen vote but
must be paid out of the City's annual operating budget.
Developer Mitigation Fees
These are fees imposed by the City for park land acquisition and development. This
is a funding source derived from mitigation monies required through SEPA (State
Environmental Protection Act) environmental review of development projects
located within the City. Many developers provide a fee to the City in -lieu of
constructing parks.

TO: City Council
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
Brian Davis, City Administrator
FROM: Steve Groom, Finance Director
Chase Donnelly, Deputy Finance Director
SUBJECT: 2023-2024 Biennial Budget Amendment
FINANCE DEPARTMENT
The FEDRAC (Finance, Economic Development and Regional Affairs Committee) recommended
the following revised budget amendment at the July 25th meeting. Funding options were considered
for Field Turf at Celebration Park, land acquisition for maintenance facility, catch-up of vehicle
replacements, and acceleration of ADA sidewalk repairs. The FEDRAC committee continues to
prioritize Field Turf highly, directed staff to keep on the budget needs waiting list as a high priority,
but at this time recommends City Hall roof replacement, server room air conditioning replacement,
and Brooklake Park roof replacement. This change is reflected in Exhibit C.
Background Information:
This ordinance is to amend the budget from the previous budget amendment on June 6th, 2023 to
reflect subsequent changes that have occurred during the year, and reflect additions approved during
council during the year. Finance has reviewed, updated the biennial budget for all funds to confirm
required ending fund balances will be met and recommends approval.
Financial Impacts:
By updating revenue forecasts based on first quarter actual results, information not known at the
time of the adopted budget, it is possible to respond to the prioritized needs list. The list of unfunded
budget requests at time of budget adoption has been maintained and all departments continue to
accumulate and report budget needs that have arisen. All departments have taken the unfunded
budget needs through a review process with Mayor, City Administrator and Finance Department
staff to assure that the needs list has been updated with current additions or corrections.
Based on the actual revenue received in the first six months, as shown in the table below, the City
is realizing better -than -budgeted revenues in five major revenue funding sources. Positive revenue
already recognized in Q 1 is subtracted to avoid double -counting. Current economic circumstances
make it prudent to retain a portion of the positive revenue variance as a hedge against remaining
months' revenue uncertainty:

Date: July 25, 2023
To: Federal Way Finance, Economic Development, and Regional Affairs Committee
From: Evan Lewis, Senior Planner- 49---�-
Subject: Amendment to the City Comprehensive Plan and Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Plan
I. Financial Impacts
There are no costs to the City for adopting the proposed code amendments; all time spent
implementing the permitting aspects of the ordinance will be subsumed by existing staff.
II. Background
The City of Federal Way Planning Division proposes an amendment to the Federal Way Parks,
Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan, which is incorporated by reference as part of the
Capital Facilities chapter of the comprehensive plan, to facilitate an update to the method for
calculating open space for residential subdivisions. The PROS Plan amendment removes one
sentence which refers to residential subdivisions being required to provide open space for 15
percent of the gross land area of the subdivision. A related code amendment is updating the
method of calculating residential open space for single-family subdivisions from a percent of
gross land area basis to a square foot per unit basis. The change to the method for calculating
residential subdivision open space is only possible with this PROS Plan amendment.
Pursuant to RCW 3 6.70A. 13 0(5)(a), the City of Federal Way must update its Comprehensive
Plan every ten years. The deadline for the next major update is December 31, 2024. Federal Way
Revised Code ("FWRC") 19.80.050 specifies an annual process for considering comprehensive
plan amendments, and generally such amendments may only be considered once per year.
However, FWRC 19.80.050(3) and state law allow for comprehensive plan amendments outside
of the annual process under certain scenarios, including amendments to the capital facilities
element of the comprehensive plan when done concurrently with the adoption or amendment to
the city budget. This proposal is being considered concurrently with a city budget amendment.
Amending the method for calculating open space for single-family residential subdivisions,
among other residential open space updates, will require a separate code amendment that will be
considered and brought to Council as a separate ordinance.
III. Reason for City Council Action
Updating the method of calculating required open space for single-family subdivisions, from a
percent of gross site area basis to square feet per unit basis, will make the method of calculating
required open space consistent between single family and multifamily.
IV. Procedural SummarV
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Process
June 16, 2023: Issuance of Determination of Nonsignificance pursuant to the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
June 30, 2023: End of SEPA comment period
July 21, 2023: End of SEPA appeal period
July 25, 2023: FEDRAC Meeting
August 8, 2023: Joint Public Hearing/ Ist Reading by City Council
September 5, 2023: City Council Second Reading (tentative; date of 2nd reading will be
based on the date of the budget amendment)
V. Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Delete the following sentence from the "Potential Funding Sources" section of the PROS Plan:
"For example, residential subdivisions are required to provide open space for 15 percent of the
gross land area of the subdivision. " That deletion is necessary to allow for a separate zoning
code amendment that changes the method of calculating single-family residential subdivision
open space from a percent of gross land area basis to a square feet per unit basis.
VI. Public Comments Received
The City received zero comments during the SEPA comment period and, as of the date of this
staff report, zero other public comments.
VII. Compliance with FWRC 19.80.140
F"C 19.80.140, Factors to be Considered in a Comprehensive Plan Amendment — The city
may consider, but is not limited to, the following factors when considering a proposed
amendment to the comprehensive plan.
(1) The effect upon the physical environment.
The proposal's effect on the physical environment is undetermined. Such impacts would be
known and reviewed associated with future site -specific project proposals. There's little
reason to expect anything other than a neutral to net positive environmental impact from this
PROS Plan amendment. The new method of calculating open space for single-family
residential subdivisions will result in less required open space than in the current calculation
method (15 percent of gross site area). However, meeting the open space requirement could
potentially result in natural areas being disturbed that would otherwise not be disturbed, so in
some situations more natural areas could be preserved by this amendment.
(2) The effect on open space, streams, and lakes.
The proposal's effect on open space, streams and lakes is undetermined except that it would
change the method of calculating required open space and result in less required open space
than for single-family subdivisions than under the current calculation method. Such impacts
would be known and reviewed associated with future site -specific project proposals. There's
little reason to expect anything other than a neutral to net positive environmental impact from
this PROS Plan amendment. The new method of calculating open space for single-family
residential subdivisions will result in less required open space than in the current calculation
method (15 percent of gross site area). However, meeting the open space requirement could
potentially result in natural areas being disturbed that would otherwise not be disturbed, so in
some situations more natural areas could be preserved by this amendment.
(3) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods.
This factor is best evaluated with site -specific project proposals, however there's little reason
to expect that the proposal would result in residential projects that are less compatible with
adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods.
(4) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads, public
transportation, parks, recreation, and schools.
The proposal would result in less required open space which may act as an incentive for more
residential development; site and community -wide impacts of new development are
evaluated for specific projects and mitigation — through payment of traffic and park impact
fees, frontage improvements, etc. — would often be required to mitigate project -specific
impacts.
(5) The benefit to the neighborhood, city, and region.
The proposal would help improve consistency for open space requirements between single
and multi -family uses. The resulting decrease in required open space would act as somewhat
of a balance to the recently adopted Park Impact Fee and could also somewhat incentivize
housing production to help the City achieve its long-range housing goals.
(6) The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the
demand for such land.
This factor is best evaluated for site -specific project proposals, but the City has sufficient
buildable land to achieve its overall housing target.
(7) The current and projected population density in the area.
This factor is best evaluated for site -specific project proposals.
(8) The effect upon other aspects of the comprehensive plan.
This proposal is consistent with other comprehensive plan chapters.
VIII. Compliance with FWRC 19.80.150
Criteria for Amending the Comprehensive Plan — The city may amend the comprehensive plan
only if it finds that:
(1) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare;
Allowing open space for single-family residential subdivisions to be calculated on a
square feet per unit basis would result in reduced quantities of required open space
which could support housing production in the City and may also decrease the chance
that trees and other natural areas are removed solely for the purpose of providing
usable open space. This bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare.
(2) The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
Allowing open space for single-family residential subdivisions to be calculated on a
square feet per unit basis would make this requirement consistent between single and
multi -family uses, support housing production in the City and may also decrease the
chance that trees and other natural areas are removed solely for the purpose of
providing usable open space. Achieving these outcomes is in the best interest of the
residents of the City of Federal Way.
(3) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW
and with the portion of the city's adopted plan not affected by the amendments.
The comprehensive plan amendment under consideration is consistent with the
following goals of RCW Chapter 36.70A.020 of the Growth Management Act (GMA).
The following goals and policies are not listed in order of priority and shall be used
exclusively for the purpose of guiding the development of comprehensive plans and
development regulations:
Parks, Recreation & Open Space (PROS) Plan (part of Capital Facilities
chapter) Policy N.3: To gain maximum effect on overall parks and recreation
system, audit and revise City code requirements for on -site open space, and
revise to require contribution to larger parks system rather than small, on=site
parcels.
PROS Plan Goal B.1, Policy B.3: Explore ways to allow for informal play
and recreation opportunities by incorporating unprogrammed spaces such as
fields and forested areas.
Land Use Policy LUP 2: Use zoning regulations to achieve a greater
range of housing options in multifamily designations.

innovative housing solutions, does not burden the cost of housing
development and maintenance, and diversifies the range of housing types
available in the City.
Housing Policy 14: Review zoning, subdivision, and development regulations
to ensure that they further housing policies, facilitate infill development and
don't create unintended barriers.

XI. Exhibits
`A' Amendment to PROS Plan (incorporated by reference in Capital Facilities Chapter)
Exhibit A -
Potentiaf Funding Sources Amendment to PROS Plan
This section provides an overview of potential funding sources to fund projects identified
in this chapter. All funding sources discussed below will be considered when
determining a budget for a project. A combination of several sources is typically used
to fund projects.
City General Fund
General Funds from the City are allocated to the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural
Services Department.
Capital Project Fund - Parks
The Capital Project Fund provides for the acquisition or construction of park
facilities except for those facilities financed by proprietary and trust funds. The
major source of revenue for this Fund is general obligation bond proceeds, grants
from other agencies, local taxes and contributions from other funds. All park costs
associated with acquisitions, improvements, issuance of bonds, and other costs
shall be paid by this Fund. This funding source is tied to the City's 2-year budget
cycle.
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)
As a city planning under the Washington State Growth Management Act, Federal
Way receives REET funds which are generally used for capital projects as
described under state law. A REET is derived from a modest tax on the sales of
real property within the City. As of January 1, 2018, the City's REET rate was 0.5
percent.'
Voter -approved Bonds/Levies
Voter -approved General obligation bonds can be used for acquisition or
development and are typically repaid through an annual property tax levy
through the maturity period of the bonds. General obligation bonds typically
mature in 15 to 20 years.
Councilmanic Bonds
Bonds issued by the City Council. This type of bond does not require citizen vote
but must be paid out of the City's annual operating budget.
Developer Mitigation Fees
These are fees imposed by the City for park land acquisition and development.
This is a funding source derived from mitigation monies required through SEPA
(State Environmental Protection Act) environmental review of development
projects located within the City. For ep'LmSid-P- tial S_„_hdi i5i0n5 aFe FeElYiFed

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
Date: July 25, 2023
To: Federal Way Finance, Economic Development & Regional Affairs Committee
From: Evan Lewis, Senior Planner V , 49-%,
Subject: Residential Open Space Code Amendments
_Financial Impacts:
There are no costs to the City for adopting the proposed code amendments; all time spent
implementing the permitting aspects of the ordinance will be subsumed by existing staff.
Background:
The City of Federal Way Planning Division proposes amendments to residential open space
requirements for single family subdivisions and multifamily residential uses. The proposed
residential open space code amendments are intended to:
1) Improve the consistency of open space definitions and requirements between and
among housing types and zones; .
2) Clarify Ispects of Federal Way's residential open space requirements that create
ambiguity or confusion;
3) Implement Housing Action Plan (HAP); and
4) Update the method for calculating open space for subdivisions which would provide a
consistent open space calculation method between single family and multifamily.
The proposed amendments to Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) subdivision code (Title 18)
and zoning and development code (Title 19) are consistent with this intent.
Context:
Federal Way's subdivision and zoning codes require both single-family subdivisions and
multifamily developments to provide on -site open space. Below are a few visual examples of
open space commonly required (images from Google Street View):
F,
t
With some exceptions and subject to certain requirements, when open space is not provided
developers can request to pay a fee in lieu of providing the open space. Such fee in lieu requests
are reviewed and either approved or disapproved by the Federal Way Parks Department.
Most residential open space requirements are found in the following sections of Federal Way
Revised Code:
1) Title 18 Subdivisions code; specifically, FWRC 18.55 on subdivision design criteria.
2) Title 19 Zoning code; specifically, use charts for multifamily residential uses within the
Suburban Estate (SE) zone (FWRC 19.195}, Single -Family Residential (RS) zones
(FWRC 19.200), Multifamily Residential (RM) zones (FWRC 19.205), Neighborhood
Business (BN) zones (19.215), Community Business (BC) zones (FWRC 19.220), City
Center Core (CC-C) zone (FWRC 19.225), City Center Frame (CC-F) zone (FWRC
19.230), and Commercial Enterprise (CE) zone (FWRC 19.240).
For residential subdivisions, current code requires residential open space in the amount of 15
percent of the gross land area of the subdivision site; and 10 percent of the gross land area of the
subdivision site must be `usable' open space. Residential open space requirements associated
with other residential uses, as specified in FWRC Title 19 use charts, are primarily based on a
certain square footage of open space per unit and subject to more prescriptive requirements or
guidelines for that open space and its amenities.
Proposed Code Amendment Overview:

A few other updates were made to improve clarity and consistency.
The proposed updates would reduce the required on -site, usable open space for most single-
family detached subdivisions and for certain multifamily housing types. Required usable open
space for senior housing and for residential uses in the neighborhood business (BN), City Center
Core (CC-C), City Center Frame (CC-F), and Commercial Enterprise (CE) zones would remain
unchanged. Such reductions are warranted in context with and consideration of the following
factors:
1) Benefits from the recent adoption of a park impact fee which will provide a new,
consistent funding source from future residential growth for necessary public park
facilities that mitigate impacts from that growth.
2) Reduce barriers to new housing in certain zones and for certain uses.
3) Decrease the potential for natural areas being destroyed to accommodate usable open
space.
4) Improve the consistency of open space requirements between uses and among zones.
5) Bring residential open space requirements more in -line with other cities (see Attachment
3).

7/25/23: FEDRAC Meeting
8/8/23: City Council 1st Reading
9/5/23: City Council 2nd Reading
A separate Comprehensive Plan amendment is underway to facilitate the amendment to the
method of calculating residential open space for single-family subdivisions. That
Comprehensive Plan amendment will follow a different adoption path that would still align
with the final adoption date of this code amendment.
Public Comments:
The City received zero comments during the SEPA comment period and, as of the date of
this staff report, zero other public comments.
Planninp- Commission Action:
The Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on June 21, 2023. There were no
additional comments from the public received during the public hearing. Following
Commission discussion and deliberations, consistent with 19.80.240(1)(c), the Planning
Commission forwarded the proposed code changes to the City Council with a
recommendation for aipprov .
Decision Criteria:
FWRC 19.80.130 provides three criteria for development regulation amendments. The
following section analyzes the compliance of the proposed amendments with the criteria
provided by FWRC 19.80.130. The City may amend the text of the FWRC only if it finds
that:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable foals and policies of
the comprehensive plan.
The proposed FWRC text amendments are consistent with the following Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) goals and policies:
Parks, Recreation & Open Space (PROS) Plan (part of Capital Facilities chapter)
Policy N.3: To gain maximum effect on overall parks and recreation system, audit and
revise City code requirements for on -site open space, and revise to require contribution to
larger parks system rather than small, on -site parcels.
PROS Plan Goal B.1, Policy B.3: Explore ways to allow for informal play and recreation
opportunities by incorporating unprogrammed spaces such as fields and forested areas.
Land Use Chapter Goal 1: Create an attractive, welcoming and functional built
environment.
4
Policy LUP 2: Use zoning regulations to achieve a greater range of housing options
in multifamily designations.
Land Use Chapter Goal 3.1: Provide a wide range of housing densities and types in the
single-family designated areas.
Policy LUP 15: Revise existing land use regulations to provide for innovation and
flexibility in the design of new single-family developments and in -fill.
Policy LUP 17: Encourage the development of parks and the preservation of open
space in and adjacent to residential areas to provide adequate recreational
opportunities and preserve the natural setting of Federal Way.
Land Use Chapter Goal 4: Provide a wide range of housing types and densities
commensurate with market demand, adopted housing targets, and the community's needs
and preferences.
Policy LUP 20: Allow and encourage a variety of multi -family housing types in
designated commercial areas, especially in the City Center Core and City Center
Frame.
Policy LUP 22: Multi -family residential development should be designed to
provide privacy and common open space.
Housing Goal 3: Develop a zoning code that provides flexibility to produce innovative
housing solutions, does not burden the cost of housing development and maintenance,
and diversifies the range of housing types available in the City.
Housing Policy 14: Review zoning, subdivision, and development regulations to ensure
that they further housing policies, facilitate infill development and don't create
unintended barriers.
Natural Environment Goal 1; Policy 2: Preserve and restore ecological functions, and
enhance natural beauty, by encouraging community development patterns and site
planning that maintains and complements natural landforms.
Policy LUP 22: Multi -family residential development should be designed to
provide privacy and common open space.
2. The proposed amendment hears a substantial relationship to public health, safety,
or welfare.
The proposed open space code updates are one set of several recent or upcoming code
updates that should support increased housing production in the City. The code update
increases the clarity of certain open space code provisions which should improve the
quality of residential open space. The increased flexibility in meeting open space
requirements, and reduced quantities of required open space, may also decrease the
chance that trees and other natural areas are removed solely for the purpose of providing
usable open space. Increased housing production, better clarity of open space
requirements, better quality open space and preservation of natural areas all bear a
substantial relationship to public health, safety or welfare and thus so does this code
amendment.
The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
The proposed open space code updates improve the consistency and clarity of residential
open space requirements, implement the Housing Action Plan, and help avoid unintended
barriers to the desired amount and types of housing in Federal Way; particularly in the
context of the recently adopted Park Impact Fee. Achieving these outcomes is in the best
interest of the residents of the City of Federal Way.
Options for Decision:
After consideration of the proposal and the Mayor's recommendation regarding the proposed
amendments, the Council may:
L Adopt the ordinance
2. Do not adopt the ordinance and provide staff direction.
Mayor's Recommendation:
Based on the recommendation from the Planning Commission and above analysis and decision
criteria, the Mayor recommends that the proposed amendments to FWRC Title 18 (Subdivisions)
and Title 19 (Zoning and Development) relating to residential open space be approved.

Staff Report Attachment i O&A from Planning Commission Briefings
June 6 2023 Planning Commission Meeting Requests or Questions
1) Can staff provide a visual and numerical example of the open space changes?
a. Staff response: See Attachment 3 for a comparison example.
2) Does Federal Way have design guidelines for trails?
a. Staff response:
i. Zoning code does not have design guidelines for trails; only pedestrian paths, with
a few requirements for pedestrian paths found in Community Design Guidelines in
FWRC 19.115. While there are a few references to trails and some guidelines for
pedestrian paths, it does not provide design guidelines for trails.
ii. Public Works Standards provide design `standards' for non -motorized paths and
bike lanes (standards in section 3.2.16 and 3.4.1), but not specifically trails in the
apparent context of the Planning Commissioner's question.
Ma 172023 Planniny, Commission Meeting estions
1) What fee -in -lieu of open space amounts did the City collect from the following projects?
a. Staff response from Parks Dept:
i. Performing Arts & Events Center (PAEC): No fee in lieu paid as the outdoor
plaza qualified the open space requirement.
ii. 1st & 348t'Mixed use project —No fee in lieu paid to date because the fee is paid
after units sell.
iii. Sound Transit (specific project(s) unspecified): Parks is not aware of any Sound
Transit fee in lieu being paid for a project. Sound Transit is mitigating the open
space requirements at various location along the route. Currently they are
improving some acreage at Laurelwood park to meet a portion of the requirement
in the City Limits
2) What was the funding source(s) for Panther Lake Trail?
a. Staff response from Parks Dept: The Panther Lake Trail was paid from the 2008-2013
King County Levy money that the City received
MAY 3 2023 Planning Commission Meeting estions
The following questions or requests made during the 5/3/23 Planning Commission meeting:
1. What was the intent behind Federal Way's existing multifamily open space amounts?
a. Staff response: Below is one example found so -far for stacked multifamily which
currently requires either 100, 150, or 400 sq. ft. of open space per unit depending on the
zone:
i. The required 400 sq. ft./unit in the RM zone was set in the City's initial 1990
zoning ordinance (ord 90.043_; see pg. 66 of PDF). The intent behind that specific
amount is unknown.
ii. The required 150 sq. ft/unit in the BN zone came from the 2017 ord. 17-834 (see
pg. 26 of PDF) which amended several design requirements for multifamily uses
among several zones. The intent behind that specific amount is unknown.
iii. The required 150 sq. ft/unit in the BC zone came from the 2010 ord, 10-678 (see
pg. 6 of the PDF) which reduced the BC open space down from 300 sq. ft. Per the
ordinance, the intent was to encourage development on vacant or redevelopable
land (presumably for this specific zone); it's otherwise unclear why 150 sq. ft/unit
was specifically selected.
iv. The required 100 sq. ft/unit in the CC-C and CC-F zones came from the 2012 ord.
12-727 (see pg. 5 of the PDF) which aimed to reduce open space requirements in
those zones to be "more in line with urban, mixed use development to encourage
the type of development envisioned for the city center" and since (at that time)
"recent proposals for multi -unit, mixed use development"... "had difficulty"
meeting open space requirements.
For the stacked multifamily example above, for the two ordinances where the intent behind
the open space changes were clear, the reduced open space amounts appear meant to (at
that time) encourage multifamily housing in the BC, CC-C and CC-F zones. The reason
behind the specific quantity is unclear, other than being a 50% reduction from the totals
that were previously set for those respective zones.
2. Could Americans with Disability Act (ADA)-compliant amenities be specified in these
amendments?
a. Staff response: From consultation with Building Division staff, the City has adopted the
Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities code, ICC A] 17.1-2009, which does cover
playground equipment under the building code.
3. How are fee in lieu funds are used by the Parks Dept?
a. Staff response: A representative from the Parks Dept. addressed this at the 5/17/23
Planning Commission meeting.
4. What is an appropriate slope for `usable' open space? Could steep slopes ever be an asset for
`usable' open space?
a. Staff response: A representative from the Parks Dept. addressed this at the 5/17/23
Planning Commission meeting.
5. How can we factor in behavioral health and human -centered design research into our
residential open space requirements?
a. Staff response: Staff is still looking into this question and hasn't yet found appropriate
research relevant to this code update. This is a larger issue that may more appropriately be
looked into during the comprehensive plan periodic update rather than this more narrowly -
focused code update.

Staff Report Attachment 3: City Comparisons for Residential Open Space Requirements
The list below shows residential open space requirements among 13 comparison cities in King County. Staff has aimed to provide as much of a 1:1/apples-to-
apples comparison a possible among the most typical open space requirements common to conventional single-family and multifamily development types in
these cities, in order to inform Federal Way's updated residential open space requirements. The list below specifically does NOT inventory the following types
of open space or related code requirements:
■ Open space requirements for cluster housing, cottage housing, planned unit developments, senior or assisted living housing, or incentive or bonus
open space to achieve more density or other zoning flexibilities.
• Open space requirements such as maximum impervious surface (lot coverage) limits.
• Open space requirements specific to the preservation of environmental critical areas unless such areas count in usable open space requirements.
• Open space requirements that may be required for design review districts and found within design review guidelines for these cities that might exist
separate from their online code books.
• Fee -in -lieu of open space options or other options some cities may provide to allow reduced open space from the requirements below.

RE: Federal Way Open Space Code Updates
Dear Chair Tran, Councilmember Dovey, and city staff
The Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties takes pride in building
communities. Our 2,600 members are professional homebuilders, architects, remodelers,
trades people, planners and engineers, suppliers, manufacturers, and sales and
marketing professionals in your community. We are committed to ensuring that all
people can attain housing and have a safe and healthy place to call home.
MBAKS wants to thank the city staff for their work updating the city's open space code.
After passing new requirements for park impact fees, the reduction in open space
requirements is a necessary and welcome change to the city's code.
MBAKS members appreciate the changes staff are seeking but would ask for one
additional provision: that Federal Way align its open space exemptions with its short plat
threshold. Federal Way currently allows lots with up to nine units to be developed under
its short plat code, and if the open space provision exemption is set at five, the result is a
strange middle ground for homebuilders'looking to develop smaller projects that may
end up with projects becoming infeasible and housing not being provided. Please
consider raising the exemption threshold to nine to preclude this possibility.
As always, MBAKS appreciates the opportunity to comment on these changes and looks
forward to continued collaboration on housing opportunities in Federal Way. Thank you
for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Ben Taylor
King County Government Affairs Manager

following Federal Way Comprehensive Plan goals and policies:
Parks, Recreation & Open Space ("PROS') Plan (part of Capital Facilities chapter)
Policy N.3: To gain maximum effect on overall parks and recreation system, audit and revise
City code requirements for on -site open space, and revise to require contribution to larger
parks system rather than small, on -site parcels.
PROS Plan Goal B.], Policy B.3: Explore ways to allow for informal play and recreation
opportunities by incorporating unprogrammed spaces such as fields and forested areas.
Land Use Chapter Goal l: Create an attractive, welcoming and functional built
environment.
Policy L UP 2: Use zoning regulations to achieve a greater range of housing options in
Ordinance No. 23- Page 3 of ' 125
multifamily designations.
Land Use Chapter Goal 3.1: Provide a wide range of housing densities and types in the
single-family designated areas.
Policy L UP 1 S: Revise existing land use regulations to provide for innovation and flexibility
in the design of new single-family developments and in -fill.
Policy L UP 17. Encourage the development of parks and the preservation of open space in
and adjacent to residential areas to provide adequate recreational opportunities and preserve
the natural setting of Federal Way.

multiplied by the subject property's assessed or appraised value.
(b) For those residential land divisions vested prior to July 2, 2015, open space fees -in -lieu may
be deferred, but shall be paid no later than the closing of sale of each individual house or five
years from deferment of the fee, whichever is earlier. Covenants prepared by the city shall be
recorded at the applicant's expense on each lot at the time of plat recording to enforce payment
of deferred fees. The fee shall be calculated at the time of plat recording and divided equally
among all newly created lots. The fee shall be calculated based upon the square footage of open
space which otherwise would have been required to be provided multiplied by the subject
property's assessed or appraised value. As consideration for the ability to defer open space fee -
in -lieu payments beyond plat recording, the applicant agrees to waive the right to interest and/or
a refund if payment is not expended within five years of collection.
(c) For multifamily developments in the community business. city center core and city center
frame zones, open space fees -in -lieu may be deferred, but shall be paid no later than the
completion of construction and prior to receipt of certificate of occupancy/approval to occupy
for each floor or each building if phased, or five years from the recording of the deferment
covenants, whichever is earlier. Covenants prepared by the city shall be recorded at the
applicant's expense, prior to building permit issuance, to enforce payment of deferred fees. The
fee shall be calculated at the time of recording of the covenants and shall be divided equally
among all residential units within the project. The fee shall be calculated based upon the square
footage of open space that otherwise would have been required to be provided multiplied by the
subject property's assessed or appraised value. As consideration for the ability to defer open
Ordinance No. 23- Page 23 of 12-5
space fee -in -lieu payments beyond building permit issuance, the applicant agrees to waive the
right to interest and/or a refund if payment is not expended within five years of collection.
(2) Regional stormwater facility fee -in -lieu. Developments may be able to utilize stormwater
detention in one of the city's regional stormwater facilities based on an area fee -in -lieu established
by the city. Fees are used for construction cost recovery and shall be paid at the time of plat
recording for residential land divisions and prior to building permit issuance for commercial and
multifamily developments.
(3) Transportation impact, fee. Unless the use of an independent fee calculation has been approved,
or unless a development agreement entered into pursuant to RCW 3G. (� provided otherwise,
the fee shall be calculated and paid per the following:
(a) For commercial developments, fees shall be calculated based on the impact fee schedule in
effect at the time a completed building permit application is filed and paid prior to permit
issuance. For a change in use for which no building permit is required, the fee shall be
calculated and paid based on the impact fee schedule in effect on the date of an approved
change of use.
(b) The city shall collect transportation impact fees, based on the fee schedule adopted by city
council, from any applicant seeking development approval from the city where such
development activity requires the issuance of a residential building permit or a manufactured
home permit.
(c) For all applications for single-family, multifamily residential building permits, and
manufactured home permits; the total amount of the impact fees shall be assessed and collected
from the applicant when the building permit is issued, using the fee schedule then in effect.
Ordinance No. 23- Page 2-1 of 125

was submitted, no permit shall be issued until the required transportation impact fees set forth
in the fee schedule have been paid, except as authorized under FWRC 19.100.075
(d) Where a building permit is not required for the development activity, the transportation
impact fees shall be paid prior to issuance of the permit that authorizes the activity.
