CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 1, 2010
TO: Land Use and Transportation Committee
VIA: Brian Wilson, City Manager/ Police Chief
FROM: Bryant Enge, Financial Services Administratar
SUBJECT: Amending Section 6.4 of City's Comprehensive Plan
BACKGROUND:
In response to the concerns about updating the Comprehensive Plan with respect to the PACC and Sports
facilities, a study session will be convened at the LUTC October 18�' where information gathered about
the PACC and Sport faciliry will be presented.
The purpose of the study session is to continue dehberations concerning amending Chapter 6.0 of the
City's Comprehensive Plan (the Plan), Capital Facilities. The focus of the discussion is on Section 6.4 of
the Plan, Community Facilities, specifically a performing arts and conference center and a competitive
sport facility.
The following list is a schedule of several projected community facility needs in the current Plan:
• Maintenance Facility: $ 1 million
• Conference/Perfornung Arts Facility: $35 to $40 million
• Indoor Competitive Sports Facility: $10 to $12 million
• Public Parl�ng Faeilities: $ 5 to $10 million
In the following, staff has swnmarized the history and background of these facilities in the context of the
current Plan. Staff has provided a review concerning what has been done since the last time this
infornlation was updated, go over the results of these efforts, and request the committee's guidance as to
next steps.
Maintenance Facility
The current Plan includes a recommendation for a maintenance facility with 6,500 square feet of office
space and 120,000 square foot storage yard. The City acquired a maintenance facility located at 31132
28 Avenue. The ma.intenance facility contains approximately 3,500 square feet of office space and
90,000 square foot fenced storage space with an additional 1.5 acres of land available for future
expansions.
Conference/Performing Arts Facility
The current Plan includes a recommendation for a 50,000 square foot conference/performing arts center.
In 1994, the City of Federal Way Arts Commission funded a feasibility study (aka AMS study) of a
November 1, 2010
Land Use and Transportation Committee
Amending Section 6.4 of City's Comprehensive Plan
Page 2
facility to house a culri�ral and community events center and the desire to create an image and identity for
the city as one which recognizes the value of arts and culture as an essential component of the
conununiry. The AMS study recommended a performing arts center to seat 1,000 patrons and a visual art
gallery. The estimated construction for the facility was $190 to $240 per square foot. The current Plan
adjusted the per square foot cost to 2007 dollars, resulting in a per square foot cost of $400 to $500, or
$25 to $30 million for construction. In addition, structured parking was added to the performing arts
center facility, which was estimated at an additional $5 to $8 million. Based on these assumptions, the
full development cost was expected to be $35 to $40 million.
In 1999, the City's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) commissioned a feasibility study for a
range of public assembly development alternatives for Federal Way. This report (aka Hunter's Report)
presented preliminary findings for various alternatives, including a Performing Arts Center and a
Competitive Sparts Facility. A development concept considered by the Hunter's report was a performing
arts center. The report assumed a 900 to 1,200 seat facility with a cost of $17 to $23.4 milIion. The
report considered options to incorporate into a performing arts facility, including expansion of ineeting
and exlu`bition space, which would increase the cost to $21.6 to $29.4 million.
In 2008, the city engaged CH Johnson Consulting (aka Johnson report) for a feasi`bility study addressing
the performing arts center. The study evolved into a proposal for mi7ced-used develapment. The report
provided inforniation concerning a Federal Way performing arts center, along with a conference center,
hotel, and structured parking development opportunities. Based on the consultant's analysis the
development cost associated with a 700 seat theater was $40.7 million. In addition to a perforniance arts
facility, the consultant indicated that a new conference center would have the ability to enrich the
perfornung arts center identity and increase visitors through increased attendees. The findings concluded
that a mid-size conference center would be an excellent complement to a performing arts facility. The
conference center with a 12,000 square foot ballroom and 10,000 square feet in meeting rooms was
estimated to cost $29.1 million. The consultant indicated that a combined performing arts center and
conference center would e�.perience bene�ts in tern�s of shared operating costs, but would not see
significant savings in initial construction first costs.
In 2009, the city engaged Webb Management 5ervices (aka Webb report) in conjunction with LMN
Architects to study the feasibiliry of an integrated perfornung arts and conference center facility. Based
on the consultant's review, a 500 to 700 seat theater would support local arts organizations and operate as
an additional large conference space for lectures and presentations. The report found that a conference
center would include an 8,000 square foot lobby and conference center and 6,000 square feet of additional
meeting space to be used as breakout rooms or for stand-alone events. The estirnated cost for an
integrated facility was $30 to 40 million.
Given current market conditions, the estimated cost for an integrated performing arts-conference facility
would range from $20 to $30 million without siructured parking ($25 million to $35 xnillion with
structured parking). Therefore, depending on timing, the cost of the project would range from $20
million to $40 million.
Indoor Competitive Sports Facility
In 1999, the Hunter Report presented preliminary findings for a Competirive Sports Facility. The
consultant researched the feasibility of an indoor competirive sports facility that would increase visitor
stays in local hotels and complement the existing amateur sports facility in the city. The findings from
this study included the cost for this type of facility as $10 to $12 million.

In 2002, the LTAC engaged Don Schumacher & Associates to perform a financial feasibility study of a
multipurpose fieldhouse for indoor sports competitions and other events. Based on this research, the
facility would be a 75,000 square foot building that would accommodate 4-6 basketball courts and 4
volleyball courts. This facility would require parking. The report estimated a cost of about $8.6 million
(plus land) assuming inclusion of a health and fitness facility. The cost without the fitness facility would
be $2 million less.
Public Parking Facilities
In 2002, staff researched the potential of City participation in a public parking structure. Major
redevelopment of the City Center may likely yield a need for some amount of structured parking to
accommodate public dema,nd for parking in associarion with such potential redevelopment. These
facilities could be in part financed with LIFT funding. In addition, these facilities could be constructed in
conjunction with various redevelapment schemes, which may or may not include a performing arts and
conference center. Cost esrimates in the current Plan for a parking structure were stated as $12,000 to
$15,000 per parking stall for a total of $5 to $10 million. Notwithstanding recent reductions in
construction costs, structured parking costs (especially below-grade parking structures) have risen to
approximately $20,000 per stall ($30,000+ for below-grade parking). Nevertheless, given that most of
the funding source for public parking would come from LIFT financing, the total public investment
would likely not range higher than the approximately $10 million currently indicated in the Plan. At these
construction cost rates, $10 million could yield approximately 500 above-grade, structured parking stalls.
Conclusion
Since the Maintenance Facility Project is complete, an update to the Plan should include deleting the
Maintenance Facility project from the list of projected community facility needs. While the estimated
costs of the remaining facilities are still relevant based on the latest information and comparables, the
Plan should be updated with the latest information from the aforementioned studies. As mentioned
above, depending on the project timing the Perfornung Arts and Conference Facility could be constructed,
at current construct cost rates, at a cost from $25 to $35 million, including above-grade, structured
parking. Stand-alone public parking facilities, potentially constructed in tandem with major
redevelapment projects, would likely cost more on a per stall basis, but the extent of City participation in
such facilities would likely still be limited to the range of $10 million, based on expected, available LIFT
financing.

Background:
The City has received the Federal Way School District's 2011 Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) with the proposed
school impact fees for the City's annual review and adoption. The new fees under the 2011 CFP, if approved,
will be effective January l, 2011, are $4,014 per single-family unit and $2,172 per multi-family dwelling unit.
This is a$182 or 4.7% increase from the $3,832 single-family rate, and $58 or 2.7% increase from the $2,114
multi-family rate.
A number of variables go into the school impact fee calculation. Among them are the District's facility needs,
construction costs required for schools, and the student generating factor (average students per household in
elementary, middle, and high schools respectively) in new single and multi-family developments. The calculated
amounts are then reduced by any state matching funds and voter approved property taxes for construction.
Finally, a 50% factor is applied to eliminate imperfections in the fee calculation model.
Staff has been in contact with FWSD regarding the City's goal of no new or increase in taxes or fees during the
2011/12 Biennium. FWSD is on board with this and has suggested staff recommend re-adopting the 2010
Capital Facilities Plan in order to maintain the current 2010 school impact fees.

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
INTRQDUCTION
In response to the requirements of the State of Washington Growth Management Act
(SHB)2929 (1990) and ESHB 1025 (1991)), and under the School Impact Fee
Ordinances of King County Code 21A, City of Federal Way Ordinance No. 95-249
effective December 21, 1995 as amended, City of Kent Ordinance No3260 effective
March 1996, and the City of Auburn Ordinance No. 5078 effective 1998, Federal Way
Public Schools has updated its 2010 Capital Facilities Plan as of May 2009.
This Plan is scheduled for adoption by King County, the City of Kent, City of Federal
Way and the City of Auburn and is incorporated in the Comprehensive Plans of each
jurisdiction by reference. This plan is also included in the Facilities Plan element of the
Comprehensive Plans of each jurisdiction. To date, the City of Des Moines has not
adopted a school impact fee ardinance. The City of Des Moines collects school impact
fees as part of the SEPA process.
The Growth Management Act requires the County to designate Urban Growth areas
within which urban growth can be encouraged. The Growth Management Planning
Council adopted and recommended to the King County Council four Urban Growth Area
Line Maps with designations for urban centers. A designation was made within the
Federal Way planning area, which encompasses Federal Way Public Schools boundaries.
King County will encourage and actively support the development of Urban Centers to
meet the region's need for housing, jobs, services, culture, and recreation. This Plan's
estimated population growth is prepared with this underlying assumption.
This Capital Facilities Plan will be used as documentation for any jurisdiction, which
requires its use to meet the needs of the Growth Management Act. This plan is not
intended to be the sole planning tool for all of the District needs. The District may
prepare interim plans consistent with Board policies or management need.
The District has prepared a multi-phase plan for the renovation and construction of
Federal Way Schools and support buildings. The Board authorized presenting the $149
million bond on May 15, 2007. The bond, passed at 63.93%, will replace four
elementary schools, Lakeland, Panther Lake, Sunnycrest and Valhalla and one middle
school, Lakota.
Plans to replace Federal Way High School and Decatur High School and to increase
capacity by approximately 400 students at each school are planned in later phases.
Federal Way High School was built in 1938. It has been added onto at least 10 times and
currently has an almost maze-like layout. Based on an annual4% increase in
construction cost, the estimated cost to rebuild Federal Way High School is $122 million.
Estimated construction costs will be re-calculated prior to the next bond election. None
of the cost to replace Federal Way or Decatur High School is included in the Impact Fee
calculation in this Plan.

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
The non-instructional projects included in the plan will consolidate support services
operations at a single location. The current Transportation and Maintenance facility
cannot continue to meet the District needs in the future. Nutrition services and other
administrative functions will also relocate to this centralized location.
In September 2007 Woodmont Elementary School began a K-8 program by adding a 6�'
grade and progressively adding a grade level each year. In March 2008, the Board
approved a second K-8 program at Nautilus Elementary School. Nautilus began the
2008/09 school year with K-6 grade. As the program grows there will be more data
available about the unique facility needs for this grade configuration.
The District opened a new school in September 2008. The Technolo�y Access
Foundation (TAF) Academy will provide a small school setting for 6 through 12�' grade
students. This academy is funded through a unique public/private partnership between
the Technology Access Foundation and Federal Way Public Schools. The focus of the
school is Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). The TAF Academy
opened in September of 2008 with students in grades 6, 7 and 9. In the 2009/10 school
year TAF Academy added 8�' and 10�' grade. Grades 11 and 12 will be added in
successive years with a target population of about 350.
The District continues to study school boundaries as new housing and fluctuating
populations impact specific schools. Some shifts in boundaries may be required in the
coming year.

The District is also planning the replacement of some non-instructional facilities. The
District has purchased 20 acres (Site #81) for construction of consolidated facilities for
support services functions. Transportation, Nutrition Services, Maintenance and other
non-instructional functions will be housed at this centralized location.
As part of the multi-phase plan, the District intends to increase capacity for high school
students with expansion at the Decatur High School site. Increased capacity at Federal
Way High and at Decatur High in later phases supplant the need for construction of a
fifth comprehensive high school.

SECTION 2- MAPS OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
Federal Way Public Schools has twenty-one elementary schools (grades K-5), two
schools with a K-8 grade configuration, seven middle school schools (grades 6-8}, four
high schools (grades 9-12) and three small secondary schools. The Federal Way Public
Academy serves students in grades 6-10. The TAF Academy serves students in grades 6-
12 who reside in the Totem Middle School service area. The Career Academy at Truman
High School serves students in grades 9-12. The Internet Academy serves grades K-12.
The following maps show the service area boundaries for each school, by school type.
(Career Academy at Truman High School, Merit School, Internet Academy and Federal
Way Public Academy serve students from throughout the District). The identified
boundaries are reviewed annually. Any change in grade configuration or adoption of
programs that affect school populations may necessitate a change in school service areas.
The Growth Management Act requires that a jurisdiction evaluate if the public facility
infrastructure is in place to handle new housing developments. In the case of most public
facilities, new development has its major impact on the facilities immediately adjacent to
that development. School District are different. If the District does not have permanent
facilities available, interim measures must be taken until new facilities can be built or
until boundaries can be adjusted to match the population changes to the surrounding
facilities.
Adjusting boundaries requires careful consideration by the District and is not taken
lightly. It is recognized that there is a potential impact on students who are required to
change schools. Boundary adjustments impact the whole district, not just one school.
It is important to realize that a single housing development does not require the
construction of a complete school facility. School districts are required to project growth
throughout the district and build or adjust boundaries based on growth throughout the
district, not just around a single development.

Building Capacities
This Capital Facilities Plan establishes the District's "standard of service" in order to
ascertain the District's current and future capacity. The Superintendent of Public
Instruction establishes square footage guidelines for capacity, but these guidelines do not
take into consideration the education program needs.
In general, the District's current target class size provides that the average class size for a
standard classroom for grades K through 2 should be 20 students. In grades 3-5 the target
is 25 students. For grades 6 to 12 the target class size is 26 students. Classrooms for
students with Individualized Education Program (Special Education) needs are calculated
at 12 seats per classroom.
Using the OSPI square footage calculation as a base line, the District has calculated a
program capacity for all schools. A recent Study & Survey was the basis for changes to
the OSPI building report. The following list clarifies the adjustments to the OSPI
calculation.
Music Rooms:
Each elementary school requires a standard classroom for music instruction.
All Day Kindergarten:
Every elementary school operates at least one all day Kindergarten program. These all
day Kindergarten program require additional capacity because the standard classroom is
available for one all day session rather than two half day sessions. The District will
operate 52 sections of all day Kindergarten in 2009/10
Special Education Resource Rooms:
Each elementary and middle school requires the use of a standard classroom(s) for
special education students requiring instruction to address specific disabilities
English as a Second Language Programs:
Each elementary, middle school and high school requires the use of a standard classroom
for students learning English as a second language.
Middle School Computer Labs:
Each middle school has computer labs.
High School Career Development and Learning Center (Resource) Room:
Each high school provides special education resource room and career development
classrooms for students requiring instruction to address specific disabilities.

Portable Locations
The Washington State Constitution requires the State to provide each student a basic
education. It is not an efficient use of District resources to build a school with a capacity
for 500 students due to lack of space for 25 students when enrollment fluctuates
throughout the year and from year to year.
Portables are used as temporary facilities or interim measures to house students when
increasing population impacts a school attendance area. Portables may also be required
to house students when new or changing programs require additional capacity. They also
provide temporary housing for students until permanent facilities can be financed and
constructed. When permanent facilities become available, the portable(s) is either used
for other purposes such as storage or child care programs, or moved to another school for
an interim classroom. Some portables may not be fit to move due to age or physical
condition. In these cases, the District may choose to buy new portables and surplus these
unfit portables. It is the practice and philosophy of Federal Way Public Schools that
portables are not acceptable as permanent facilities.
The following page provides a list of the location of the portable facilities, used for
temporary educational facilities by Federal Way Public Schools.

Student Forecast
Student enrollment projections are a basic component of budget development.
Enrollment projections influence many ofthe financial estimates that go into budget
preparation. The majority of staffing requirements are derived directly from the
forecasted number of students. Allocations for instructional supplies and materials are
also made on the basis of projected enrollment. Other expenditures and certain revenue
projections are directly related to enrollment projections.
Enrollment projections are completed annually in the Business Services Department.
Projections must be detailed at various levels, district total, school-building totals, grade
level and program level to include vocational and special education students.
The basis of projections has been cohort survival analysis. Cohort survival is the analysis
of a group that has a common statistical value (grade level) as it progresses through time.
In a stable population the cohort would be 1.00 for all grades. This analysis uses
historical information to develop averages and project the averages forward. This
method does not trace individual students; it is concerned with aggregate numbers in each
grade level. The district has used this method with varying years of history and weighted
factors to study several projections. Because transfers in and out of the school system are
common, student migration is factored into the analysis as it increases or decreases
survival rates. Entry grades (kindergarten) are a unique problem in cohort analysis. The
district collects information on birth rates within the district's census tracts, and treats
these statistics as a cohort for kindergarten enrollment in the appropriate years.
The Federal Way School District is using various statistical methods for projecting
student enrollments. The resultant forecasted enrollments are evaluated below.
The first method is a statistical cohort analysis that produces ten distinct forecasts. These
are forecast of enrollment for one year. The projections vary depending on the number of
years of historical information and how they are weighted.
A second method is a projection using an enrollment projection soflware package that
allows the user to project independently at school or grade level and to aggregate these
projections for the district level. The Enrollment Master soflware provides statistical
methods including trend line, standard grade progression (cohort) and combinations of
these methods. This software produces a five-year projection of school enrollment.
In December 2006, the District contracted a demographer to develop projections for the
Federal Way School District. The report was complete in January 2007. The model used
to forecast next year's enrollment uses cohort survival rates to measure grade to grade
growth, assumes market share losses to private schools (consistent with county-wide
average), assumes growth from new housing or losses due to net losses from migration.
This forecast was provided as a range of three projections. The long-range forecast
provided with this report used a model with cohort survival rates and growth rates based
on projected changes in the 5-19 age group for King County. Most of the methods used
for long range enrollment reporting assume that enrollrnent is a constant percent of
20
30
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
something else (e.g. population) or that enrollment will mirror some projected trend for
the school-age population over time. The report included 5 different calculations to
provide a range of possible projections for the District to the year 2015. This model
produces a projection that is between 23,000 and 24,000 when applied to the low,
medium and high range modes. This provides a reasonable range for long-range planning
and is consistent with estimates from various models.
Long-range projections that establish the need for facilities are a modification of the
cohort survival method. The cohort method of analysis becomes less reliable the farther
out the projections are made. The Federal Way School District long-range projections
are studied annually. The study includes information from the jurisdictional
demographers as they project future housing and population in the region. The long-range
projections used by Federal Way Public Schools reflect a similar age trend in student
populations as the projections published by the Office of Financial Management for the
State of Washington.
Near term projections assume some growth from new housing, which is offset by current
local economic conditions. Current economic conditions do appear to be affecting
enrollment. This is reflected in the District's projections. The District tracks new
development from five permitting jurisdictions. Long range planning assumes a student
yield from proposed new housing consistent with historical growth patterns.
Growth Management requires jurisdictions to plan for a minimum of twenty years. The
Federal Way School District is a partner in this planning with the various jurisdictions
comprising the school district geography. These projections create a vision of the school
district community in the future.

NOTES:
1. Internet Academy students are included in projections but do not require full time use of school facilities.
2. Relocatable Capacity is based on the number of portables available and other administrative techniques which
can be used to temporarily house students until permanent facilities are available. This is a calculated number only.
The actual number of portables that will be used will be based on actual student population needs.
The District may begin to pull portables from the instructional inventory. Age and condition of the portables
will determine feasibility for continued instructional use.
3. Capacity for unhoused students will be accommodated with traveling teachers and
no planning time in some classrooms. Puget Sound Early College will house approximately
60 of the unhoused students.

Kin County the Citv of Federal Way and the Citv of Kent Impact Fee Calculations
Single and Multi-Family Residences
Each jurisdiction that imposes school impact fees requires that developers pay these fees
to help cover a share of the impact of new housing developments on school facilities.
To determine an equitable fee throughout unincorporated King County, a formula was
established. This formula can be found in King County Code 21A and was substantially
adopted by the City of Federal Way and Kent. The formula requires the District to
establish a"Student Generation Factor" which estimates how many students will be
added to a school district by each new single or multi-family unit and to gather some
standard construction costs, which are unique to that district.
- STUDENT GENERATION FACTOR ANALYSIS
Federal Way Public Schools student generation factor was determined separately for
single-family units and multi-family units. The factors used in the 2010 Capital Facilities
Plan were derived using actual generation factors from single-family units that were
constructed in the last five (5) years.
- IMPACT FEE CALCULATION
Following the calculations for the student generation factor is a copy of the Impact Fee
Calculation for single family and multi-family units based on King County Code 21A and
the Growth Management Act.
➢ Temporary Facility Cost is the average cost of a portable purchased within the last 12
months.

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
SECTION 4
SUMMARY OF CHANGES FROM THE 2009 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
The 2010 Capital Facilities Plan is an updated document, based on the 2009 Capital
Facilities Plan. The changes between the 2009 Plan and the 2010 Plan are listed below.
SECTION I- THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
SIX-YEAR FINANCE PLAN
The Six Year Finance Plan has been rolled forward to reflect 2010/2016
SECTION III - SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION
CAPACITY
Elementary capacity includes space for All Day Kindergarten programs at every
elementary school. Changes to the Building Program Capacities calculation are found on
page 17.
PORTABLES
The list of portables reflects the movement of portables between facilities or new
portables purchased. Portable Locations can be found on page 19.
STUDENT FORECAST
The Student Forecast now covers 2010 through 2016 Enrollment history and projections
are found on page 22.
CAPACITY SUMMARY
The changes in the Capacity Summary are a reflection of the changes in the capacities
and student forecast. New schools and increased capacity at current buildings are shown
as increases to capacity. Capacity Summaries are found on pages 24-27.
IMPACT FEE CALCULATION - HING COUNTY CODE 21A
The Impact Fee Calculations have changed due to changes in several factors. The
adjustment made in the Impact Fee Calculation, causing a change in the Impact Fee
between the 2009 Capital Facilities Plan and the 2014 Capital Facilities Plan can be
found on page 32 and 33.
31
41
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
IMPACT FEE CALCULATION CHANGES FROM 2009 TO 2010
STUDENT GENERATION FACTORS
Student Generation factors are based on rates for new developments constructed over a
period of not more than five years prior to the date of the fee calculation. The changes in
student Generation factors between the 2009 Capital Facilities Plan and the 2010 Capital
Facilities Plan are due to developments that were deleted or added based upon the age of
the developments and the year placed in the survey. The Student Generation worksheet
is found on page 29.
SCHOOL CONSTR UCTION COSTS
The anticipated cost for replacing Lakeland, Panther Lake, Sunnycrest and Valhalla is
$70, 000, 000. The replacement will add 50 new seats to the school capacity at each
building. The total capacity at these four elementary schools is currently 1 SOS. Adding
200 additional seats will increase the capacity by 13%.
Total Cost .13 X �70,000,000 = $9,100,000
The District will use the above formula created as a base from the 2008 Capital Facilities
Plan for the 2010 Capital Facilities Plan. The capacity of the four elementary schools
may vary from year to year as programs are added or changed and construction cost may
increase over time. For instance, for each new all day Kindergarten program, the
building capacity will effectively be reduced by 20 headcount and the Board authorized
an increase in construction cost of $lm for Valhalla. These changes would increase the
construction cost. The District is using the base formula established in the 2008 plan in
the Impact Fee calculation.

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
INTRODUCTION
In response to the requirements of the State of Washington Growth Management Act
(SHB)2929 (1990) and ESHB 1025 (1991)), and under the School Impact Fee
Ordinances of King County Code 21A, City of Federal Way Ordinance No. 95-249
effective December 21, 1995 as amended, City of Kent Ordinance No3260 effective
March 1996, and the City of Auburn Ordinance No. 5078 effective 1998, Federal Way
Public Schools has updated its 2011 Capital Facilities Plan as of May 2010.
This Plan is scheduled for adoption by King County, the City of Kent, City of Federal
Way and the City of Auburn and is incorporated in the Comprehensive Plans of each
jurisdiction by reference. This plan is also included in the Facilities Plan element of the
Comprehensive Plans of each jurisdiction. To date, the City of Des Moines has not
adopted a school impact fee ordinance. The City of Des Moines collects school impact
fees as part of the SEPA process.
The Growth Management Act requires the County to designate Urban Growth areas
within which urban growth can be encouraged. The Growth Management Planning
Council adopted and recommended to the King County Council four Urban Growth Area
Line Maps with designations for urban centers. A designation was made within the
Federal Way planning area, which encompasses Federal Way Public Schools boundaries.
King County will encourage and actively support the development of Urban Centers to
meet the region's need for housing, jobs, services, culture, and recreation. This Plan's
estimated population growth is prepared with this underlying assumption.
This Capital Facilities Plan will be used as documentation for any jurisdiction, which
requires its use to meet the needs of the Growth Management Act. This plan is not
intended to be the sole planning tool for all of the District needs. The District may
prepare interim plans consistent with Board policies or management need.
The District has prepared a multi-phase plan for the renovation and construction of
Federal Way Schools and support buildings. The Board authorized presenting the $149
million bond on May 15, 2007. The bond, passed at 63.93%, will replace four
elementary schools, Lakeland, Panther Lake, Sunnycrest and Valhalla and one middle
school, Lakota.
Plans to replace Federal Way High School and Decatur High School and to increase
capacity by approximately 400 students at each school are planned in later phases.
Federal Way High School was built in 1938. It has been added onto at least 10 times and
currently has an almost maze-like layout. Based on an annual 4% increase in
construction cost, the estimated cost to rebuild Federal Way High School is $122 million.
Estimated construction costs will be re-calculated prior to the next bond election. None
of the cost to replace Federal Way or Decatur High School is included in the Impact Fee
calculation in this Plan.
The non-instructional projects included in the plan will consolidate support services
operations at a single location. The current Transportation and Maintenance facility
cannot continue to meet the District needs in the future. Nutrition services and other
administrative functions will also relocate to this centraIized location.
2
46
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
Construction of Panther Lake & Valhalla has been completed and students began the
2009-IO school year in the new buildings. Lakota Middle School will be completed this
summer and students will begin the upcoming school year in the new school. The
District will be awarding bids for Sunnycrest & Lakeland in May & June and
construction for both sites will begin this summer. During the construction of
Sunnycrest, students will be served at an off-site location.
In Fa112010, the District will offer the Middle Years IB program at Totem & Kilo. 'The
Middle Years IB programs will require students to take a foreign language in addition to
the core subjects currently offered at the middle schools. In Fa112011, the district will
implement a dual-language program at Sunnycrest. The dual-language program will
offer opportunities for students to engage in bilingual learning. The program will begin
with a K-1 program adding a new grade level each year. Each grade level will require
three classrooms.
The District continues to monitor factors that may have an impact on enrollment and
capacity at our schools. One such factor is HB 2261, which will phase in full-day
kindergarten for all students. The District will follow this bill as it progresses and assess
the possible facility impact this bill may create. Another factor would be the inclusion of
a Program of Early Learning for at risk children within the overall Program of Basic
Education. According to the projections provided by the Puget Sound Educational
Service District, Federal Way was projected to have 1,219 children eligible for Head
Start, Early Head Start and ECEAP in 2009. Funded capacity for these programs is only
321 leaving 898 children unserved. If a bill including Early Learning as a part of the
Program of Basic Education were to pass, there would be a significant impact to the
capacity of our schools. We will also continue to study school boundaries as new
housing and fluctuating populations impact specific schools. Some shifts in boundaries
may be required in the coming years.

The District is also planning the replacement of some non-instructional facilities. The
District has purchased 20 acres (Site #81) for construction of consolidated facilities for
support services functions. Transportation, Nutrition Services, Maintenance and other
non-instructional functions will be housed at this centralized location.
As part of the multi-phase plan, the District intends to increase capacity for high school
students with expansion at the Decatur High School site. Increased capacity at Federal
Way High and at Decatur High in later phases supplant the need for construction of a
fifth comprehensive high school.

SECTION 2- MAPS OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
Federal Way Public Schools has twenty-one elementary schools (grades K-5), two
schools with a K-8 grade configuration, seven middle school schools (grades 6-8), four
high schools (grades 9-12) and three small secondary schools. The Federal Way Public
Academy serves students in grades 6-10. The TAF Academy serves students in grades 6-
12 who reside in the Totem Middle School service area. The Career Academy at Truman
High School serves students in grades 9-12. The Internet Academy serves grades K-12.
The following maps show the service area boundaries for each school, by school type.
(Career Academy at Truman High School, Merit School, Internet Academy and Federal
Way Public Academy serve students from throughout the District). The identified
boundaries are reviewed annually. Any change in grade configuration or adoption of
programs that affect school populations may necessitate a change in school service areas.
The Growth Management Act requires that a jurisdiction evaluate if the public facility
infrastructure is in place to handle new housing developments. In the case of most public
facilities, new development has its major impact on the facilities immediately adjacent to
that development. School Districts are different. If the District does not have permanent
facilities available, interim measures must be taken until new facilities can be built or
until boundaries can be adjusted to match the population changes to the surrounding
facilities.
Adjusting boundaries requires careful consideration by the District and is not taken
lightly. It is recognized that there is a potential impact on students who are required to
change schools. Boundary adjustments impact the whole district, not just one school.
It is important to realize that a single housing development does not require the
construction of a complete school facility. School districts are required to project growth
throughout the district and build or adjust boundaries based on growth throughout the
district, not just around a single development.

Buildin� Canacities
This Capital Facilities PIan establishes the District's "standard of service" in order to
ascertain the District's current and future capacity. The Superintendent of Public
Instruction establishes square footage guidelines for capacity, but these guidelines do not
take into consideration the education program needs.
In general, the District's current target class size provides that the average class size for a
standard classroom for grades K through 2 should be 20 students. In grades 3-5 the target
is 25 students. For grades 6 to 12 the target class size is 26 students. Classrooms for
students with Individualized Education Program (Special Education) needs are calculated
at 12 seats per classroom.
Using the OSPI square footage calculation as a base line, the District has calculated a
program capacity for all schools. A recent Study & Survey was the basis for changes to
the OSPI building report. The following list clarifies the adjustments to the OSPI
calculation.
Music Rooms:
Each elementary school requires a standard classroom for music instruction.
All Day Kindergarten:
Every elementary school operates at least one all day Kindergarten program. These all
day Kindergarten program require additional capacity because the standard classroom is
available for one all day session rather than two half day sessions. The District will
operate 52 sections of all day Kindergarten in 2010/11.
Special Education Resource Rooms:
Each elementary and middle school requires the use of a standard classroom(s) for
special education students requiring instruction to address specific disabilities.
English as a Second Language Programs:
Each elementary, middle school and high school requires the use of a standard classroom
for students learning English as a second language.
Middle School Computer Labs:
Each middle school has computer labs.
High School Career Development and Learning Center (Resource) Room:
Each high school provides special education resource room and career development
classrooms for students requiring instruction to address specific disabilities.

Portable Locations
The Washington State Constitution requires the State to provide each student a basic
education. It is not an efficient use of District resources to build a school with a capacity
for 500 students due to lack of space for 25 students when enrollment fluctuates
throughout the year and from year to year.
Portables are used as temporary facilities or interim measures to house students when
increasing population impacts a school attendance area. Portables may also be required
to house students when new or changing programs require additional capacity. They also
provide temporary housing for students until permanent facilities can be financed and
constructed. When permanent facilities become available, the portable(s} is either used
for other purposes such as storage or child care programs, or moved to another school �or
an interim classroom. Some portables may not be fit to move due to age or physical
condition. In these cases, the District may choose to buy new portables and surplus these
unfit portables. It is the practice and philosophy of Federal Way Public Schools that
portables are not acceptable as permanent facilities.
The following page provides a list of the location of the portable facilities, used for
temporary educational facilities by Federal Way Public Schools.

Student Forecast
Student enrollment projections are a basic component of budget development.
Enrollment projections influence many of the financial estimates that go into budget
preparation. The majority of staffing requirements are derived directly from the
forecasted number of students. Allocations for instructional supplies and materials are
also made on the basis of projected enrollment. Other expenditures and certain revenue
projections are directly related to enrollment projections.
Enrollment projections are completed annually in the Business Services Department.
Projections must be detailed at various levels, district total, school-building totals, grade
level and program level to include vocational and special education students.
The basis of projections has been cohort survival analysis. Cohort survival is the analysis
of a group that has a common statistical value (grade level) as it progresses through time.
In a stable population the cohort would be 1.00 for all grades. This analysis uses
historical information to develop averages and project the averages forward. This
method does not trace individual students; it is concerned with aggregate numbers in each
grade level. The district has used this method with varying years of history and weighted
factors to study several projections. Because transfers in and out of the school system are
common, student migration is factored into the analysis as it increases or decreases
survival rates. Entry grades (kindergarten) are a unique problem in cohort analysis. The
district collects information on birth rates within the district's census tracts, and treats
these statistics as a cohort for kindergarten enrollment in the appropriate years.
The Federal Way School District is using various statistical methods for projecting
student enrollments. The resultant forecasted enrollments are evaluated below.
The first method is a statistical cohort analysis that produces ten distinct forecasts. These
are forecast of enrollment for one year. The projections vary depending on the number of
years of historical information and how they are weighted.
A second method is a projection using an enrollment projection soflware package that
allows the user to project independently at school or grade level and to aggregate these
projections for the district level. The Enrollment Master software provides statistical
methods including trend line, standard grade progression (cohort) and combinations of
these methods. This software produces a five-year projection of school enrollment.
In December 2006, the District contracted a demographer to develop projections for the
Federal Way School District. The report was comptete in January 2007. The model used
to forecast next year's enrollment uses cohort survival rates to measure grade to grade
growth, assumes market share losses to private schools (consistent with county-wide
average), assumes growth from new housing or losses due to net losses from migration.
This forecast was provided as a range of three projections. The long-range forecast
provided with this report used a model with cohort survival rates and growth rates based
on projected changes in the 5-19 age group for King County. Most of the methods used
for long range enrollment reporting assume that enrollment is a constant percent of
20
64
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
something else (e.g. population) or that enrollment will mirror some projected trend for
the school-age population over time. The report included 5 different calculations to
provide a range of possible projections for the District to the year 2017. This model
produces a projection that is between 23,000 and 24,000 when apptied to the low,
medium and high range modes. This provides a reasonable range for long-range planning
and is consistent with estimates from various models.
Long-range projections that establish the need for facilities are a modification of the
cohort survival method. The cohort method of analysis becomes less reliable the farther
out the projections are made. The Federal Way School District long-range projections
are studied annually. The study includes information from the jurisdictional
demographers as they project future housing and population in the region. The long-range
projections used by Federal Way Public Schools reflect a similar age trend in student
populations as the projections published by the Office of Financial Management for the
State of Washington.
Near term projections assume some growth from new housing, which is offset by current
local economic conditions. Current economic conditions do appear to be affecting
enrollment. This is reflected in the District's projections. The District tracks new
development from five permitting jurisdictions. Long range planning assumes a student
yield from proposed new housing consistent with historical growth patterns.
Growth Management requires jurisdictions to plan for a minimum of twenty years. The
Federal Way School District is a partner in this planning with the various jurisdictions
comprising the school district geography. These projections create a vision of the school
district community in the future.

Kin� Countv the City of Federal Wav and the Cit�of Kent Impact Fee Calculations
Single and Multi-Family Residences
Each jurisdiction that imposes school impact fees requires that developers pay these fees
to help cover a share of the impact of new housing developments on school facilities.
To determine an equitable fee throughout unincarporated King County, a formula was
established. This formula can be found in King County Code 21A and was substantially
adopted by the City of Federal Way and Kent. The formula requires the District to
establish a"Student Generation Factor" which estimates how many students will be
added to a school district by each new single or multi-family unit and to gather some
standard construction costs, which are unique to that district.
- STUDENT GENERATION FACTOR ANALYSIS
Federal Way Public Schools student generation factor was determined separately for
single-family units and multi-family units. The factors used in the 2011 Capital Facilities
Plan were derived using actual generation factors from single-family units that were
constructed in the last five (5) years.
- IMPACT FEE CALCULATION
Following the calculations for the student generation factor is a copy of the Impact Fee
Calculation for single family and multi-family units based on King County Code 21A and
the Growth Management Act.
➢ Temporary Facility Cost is the average cost of a portable purchased within the last 12

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
SECTION 4
SUMMARY OF CHANGES FROM THE 2010 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
The 2011 Capital Facilities Plan is an updated document, based on the 2010 Capital
Facilities Plan. The changes between the 2010 Plan and the 2011 Plan are listed below.
SECTION I- THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
SIX-YEAR FINANCE PLAN
The Six Year Finance Plan has been rolled forward to reflect 2011/2017
SECTION III - SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION
CAPACITY
Elementary capacity includes space for All Day Kindergarten programs at every
elementary school. Changes to the Building Program Capacities calculation are found on
page 17.
PORTABLES
The list of portables reflects the movement of portables between facilities or new
portables purchased. Portable Locations can be found on page 19.
STUDENT FORECAST
The Student Forecast now covers 2011 through 2017 Enrollment history and projections
are found on page 22.
CAPACITY SUMMARY
The changes in the Capacity Summary are a reflection of the changes in the capacities
and student forecast. New schools and increased capacity at current buildings are shown
as increases to capacity. Capacity Summaries are found on pages 24-27.
IMPACT FEE CALCULATION - HING COUNTY CODE 21A
The Impact Fee Calculations have changed due to changes in several factors. The
adjustment made in the Impact Fee Calculation, causing a change in the Impact Fee
between the 2010 Capital Facilities Plan and the 2011 Capital Facilities Plan can be
found on page 32 and 33.
31
75
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
IMPACT FEE CALCULATION CHANGES FROM 2010 TO 2011
STUDENT GENERATION FACTORS
Student Generation factors are based on rates for new developments constructed over a
period of not more than five years prior to the date of the fee calculation. The changes in
student Generation factors between the 2010 Capital Facilities Plan and the 2011 Capital
Facilities Plan are due to developments that were deleted or added based upon the age of
the developments and the year placed in the survey. The Student Generation worksheet
is found on page 29.
SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION COSTS
The anticipated cost for replacing Lakeland, Panther Lake, Sunnycrest and Valhalla is
$70, 000, 000. The replacement will add 50 new seats to the school capacity at each
building. The total capacity at these four elementary schools is currently 1505. Adding
200 additional seats will increase the capacity by 13%.
Total Cost .13 X $70,000,000 = �9,100,000
The District will use the above formula created as a base from the 2008 Capital Facilities
Plan for the 2011 Capital Facilities Plan. The capacity of the four elementary schools
may vary from year to year as programs are added or changed and construction cost may
increase over time. Far instance, for each new all day Kindergarten program, the
building capacity will effectively be reduced by 20 headcount and the Board authorized
an increase in construction cost of $lm for Valhalla. These changes would increase the
construction cost. The District is using the base formula established in the 2008 plan in
the Impact Fee calculation.

PUBLIC HEARIlVG — BC Code Ame,ndment pertaining to Multi-Family and Senior Housing
Chair Pfeifer expIained the guidelines for the Public Hearing.
Associate Planner David I.ee reviewed the background and reasons for the code amendment and summarized
the proposed code amendmer�ts, There was one public comment.
Todd Lawson — Mr. Lawson spoke representing his client, a commercial property owner in Federal Way. Mr.
Lawson spoke in favor and asked the Planning Commission to consider the proposed code amendments. Mr.
Lawson stated that these code amendments would have many benefits to developers and the community
(increase in density, mixed use, parking, building height, etc.).
Chair Pfeifer asked if there were any questions/concerns from the commissioners. Vice-Chair Elder asked Mr.
Lawson if he had any other concerns that the Planning Commission has not yet addressed. Mr. Lawson
responded that as a developer, he always hopes for more flexibility. One suggestion, though, was to make the
height limit for senior housing and multi-family the same. Vice — Chair Elder thanked Mr. Lawson for being
present and sharing his input. 79
Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 October 20, 2010
In reference to the cross-sections depiction for proposed heights, Commissioner Bronson asked what the
required setbacks in single-family residential zones are. Mr. Lee responded that there is a five foot minimum
required side setback in single-family residential. Commissioner Bronson was concerned of the possibility of a
home having only a five foot setback next to a zero lot line mixed use building. Principal Planner Clark
commented that there should have been an additional cross-section depiction for single-family as well. To
clarify, there is a five foot setback for single-family residential and a 20 foot setback for development in the BC
zones (mixed use) for a minimum of 25 feet between the two structures. Also, height limit within BC zone is
limited to 30 feet for the portion of the building that is located within 20 feet of the single-family residential
zone. In the multi-family residential zone, there is a five foot minimum setback. In the BC zone that abuts a
multi-family residential zone, there is zero setback, therefore the distance between the structures could be a
close as five feet.
Planning Manager Conlen asked the Commission's input on imposing a sethack on senior citizen/special needs
housing of five feet. The current code is twenty feet, but the way the a�nertdment is written, if passed, would
impose a five foot setback. Would the Commission recommend keep�hg the se�back for senior citizen/special
needs housing to 20 feet? The current setback for multi-family next ta single farnily residential will remain at
20 feet. Commissioner Long asked for clarification that staff was suggesting that the setback for both multi-
family and seniar citizen/special needs housing next to sing�e=family residential be 20 f��t. Planning Manger
Conlen stated that is what is asking.
Chair Pfeifer spoke in favor of a five foot setback between senior citizen/special needs housing and single-
family residential and commented that the area in question (along the Pac Hwy S corridor) needs every foot
available for development. Five feet is feasible to maintain the building's exterior. Planning Manager Conlen
added that other building/land use codes and fire codes are still in effect. �f there is an issue with another code,
the developer may have to use a greater setback. Commissictner Long concur��c�.
Commissioner Bronson asked why there is a five foot setback for setiior Eitizen and special needs housing, why
isn't there also a five foot setbacfc for other types of c.onstruction. Associate Planner Lee responded that a
building within the BC zone tl�at has mut�i-family residences above is contingent on the uses below to determine
how much of a setback is "required. Commissioner Bronson asked for clarification on what is trying to be
accomplished with this code amendment.' Principal Planner Clark noted that many of the lots within the BC
zone are only 100 feet wide. `�'�te code a�endment will make these lots more developable by reducing the
existing setback requiretnents. Seniar housing is a stand alone building while mixed use has one use on the
bottom (ie. retail) with mult�-family above. Commissioner Long inquired if mixed use buildings may create
more noise tT�an senior housing. WouId ihis explain the greater setback for mixed use as compared to senior
housing? Pr�cipal Planner said that is possble and wanted to clarify that the setback for mixed use from
single-family residential would be 20 feet, but the setback from other multi-family residential would be zero.
The amendment is continuing to pr�tect single-family residential.
Chair Pfeifer asked far �ie reason �hat mixed use height limit was 65 feet while senior housing only 55 feet.
Associate Planner Lee explained that the height allowed for housing is the same. The difference is because the
mixed use buildings would �eed an allotted height for retail on the bottom.
Mr. Lawson re-approached the Commission and stated that he was also interested in the height differences. As
a developer, he may be interested in creating a building where senior housing and multi family exist in one
building and suggested the Commission look at a 65 foot height allowance for both mixed use and senior
housing. Or, could mixed use have retail on the bottom with senior housing above. 65 feet would adlow for more
flexibility for development. Commissioner Long asked Mr. Lawson for his feedback on the proposed parking
requirements. Mr. Lawson responded that he feels the City is proposing the minimum and personally, he would
probably provide more. Another benefit of the proposed code is that there would be additional developable land
to add additional parking and parking would now be clearly allowed at the ground level of a mixed use building.

Public Hearing on October 20, 2010
j, REASON FOR AMENDMENTS
In working with developers, architects, and various other entities in the development community,
staff has identified several changes that can be made to the e�tisting Federal Way Revised Code
(FWRC) to help encourage development on vacant or redevelopable tand. The proposed
amendments also seek to streamline the development process by setting clear zoning
requirements. The proposal is to amend FWRC Zoning charts 19.220.050 "Multi-Unit Housing,"
19.220A80 "Senior Citizen I Special Needs Housing," FWRC 19.125.040, and FWRC
19.115.090(n) "Community Design Guidelines." Code amendments are proposed to allow
increased heights of up to 65' outright, allow residential and parking uses on the ground floor,
specify parking requirements, reduce front yard setbacks, remove density caps, reduce open space
requirements, allow primary structures within landscaping yards when no yards are required per
zoning chart, and reduce the applicability of pitched-roof requirements.
The Planning Commission is being asked to review the proposed changes to the zoning code
attached as Exhibits A through D, and forward a recommendation to the City Council.
II . BACKGROUND
The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) describes the Community Business (BC) zoning
designation as two major retail-commercial areas along the Pacific Hwy comdor inctuding small
pockets between South 272 Street and South 312�' Street, as well as a pocket of area between
South 324�' Street and approximately South 339�' Street. These areas are characterized by a wide
range of uses that are centered generally around retail and service indusiries. Many of the single-
story buildings present an excellent opportunity for redevelopment. Based on a recent GIS
estimate, there are approximately 72.4 acres of vacant land, and 9I .69 acres of redevelopable land
within the BC zoned sections of the city.

B. GENERAL LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS — ALL ZONES
CurrentIy, Type III landscaping five feet in width is required along all perimeter lot lines
including the front yard setback under FWRC 19_125.060 in the BC zone. Cunently an
inconsistency exists where most commercial developments within the BC zone are granted a
zero front yard setback, but can not build up to the property line due to this regulation.
Furthermore, if the senior housing front yard setback reduction is adopted, it would further
add to this inconsistency within code. Therefore, it is recommended to add FVVRC
19.125A40(28) which reads "Landscapin� is not re�uired along.,perimeter lot lines abutting
ri t of wa� where no required vards a�plv pursaant to Division VI `Zonin� Re�ulations'."

C. COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES
P�egardless of th� z�re, structc�:.s are also unde: t�e gurview of t�'�e �ommunit- Jesi�
Guidelines as set forth by the FWRC, more specifically FWRC 19.115.090(n). FWRC
19.115.090(n) requires that aIl new buildings, including accessory buildings such as carports
and garages, shall appeaz to have a roof pitch ranging from at least 4:12 to a maximum of
12:12. It is often chaltenging for structures over 30' to accommodate such a design
requirement due to roof areas generally being used for elevator housing, ventiIation
equipment, and various other development related machinery. Therefore, it is recommended
to have FWRC 19.115.090(n) read: "All new buildings, including accessory buildings such as
carports and garages in PO and BN zones onlv, shall appear to have a roof pitch ranging from
at least 4:12 to a maximum of 12:12." limiting the pitched roof requirements ta the applicable
developments within the PO (Professional Office) and BN (Neighborhood Business) zones,
which have lower allowed height limits. A variety of architectural methods are avaiiahle to
address aesthetics.
IV. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION OF CODE AMENDMENTS
The proposal is to amend the Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC), Chapter 19.220.080,
19.220.050, and 19.115.090(n) by adopting each of the following amendments:
1. Under FWRC 19.220.050 "Multi-unit housing":
a. Change "Height of Structure" to 65' outright.
i. Reasoning: Applicants may aiready achieve the 65' above ABE height
through an administrative review and a set of criteria. Allowing for an
outiight height of 65' above ABE affords developers surety that the
height will be atlowed and they can then design around a solid height.
b. Require 12 — I.8 parking spaces per dwelling unit.
i. Reasoning: A parking requirement survey of local jurisdictions revealed
that a parking space per dweiling-type ratio was used for mixed-use
residential units. This will provide predictability and help developers
ptan for a base number of paxking stalls needed without having to supply
a parking study as a pre-requisite. Applicants still have the option of
submitting a pazking study if it is believed that less parking stalls aze
appropriate.
c. Change Note 1 to read "A11 non-residential gcound floor spaces must have
minimum floor-to-ceiling height of 13 ft. and a minimum depth of 15 ft."
- i. Reasoning: Preserves the original language of one of the previous criteria
used to aIlow for increased height to 65'above ABE. This will preserve
the original intent to �cld architectural aesthetics to this type of
development.
d. Change Note 2 to read "Building height may riot exceed 30 ft. above ABE for the
portions of the building located within 20 ft. of a residential zone:'
i. Reasoning: Tfie original buitding height restrictions placed on mixed-use
residentiai deveIopments were too restrictive due to the relatively thin
shaped lots that have been deemed redevelopable or vacant, and also did
not protect multi-family (RI�Ij zones. Current code requirements limit the
height in a �'estrietive stair-step manner. Of thc totai parcels within the
85
Planning Commission Staff Report
K:\2010 Code AmendmertslBC Zone AmendmentslPlanning CommissionlStaffReport For PC FINAL.doc Page 4
BC zone, 29 parcels are within 20 feet of a single family residential zone,
29 parcels within 40 feet, and 52 parcels within 140 feet (Exhibit E).
Broadeaing tha setbaek/height resuictions to all resideniial zones
protects both adjacent single family and multi-family zones, and also
allows for possible development on geographically constrained sites.
e. Change Note 3 to read "Roof lines are designed to avoid a predominantly flat and
featureless appearance through variations in roof height, forms, angles, and
materials: '
i. Reasoning: Preserves the original language of the previous criteria used
to allow for increased height to 65' above ABE.
f. Change Note 4 to read "Multi-unit housing and accessory residential uses may be
located on the ground floor of a structure only as follows: (a) ground level space
that spans at least 60 percent of the length of the principal commercial fa�ade, as
determined by the director, is occupied with one or more other use(s) allowed in
this zone; and (b) ground level spaee that spans at least 40 percent of the length
of all other street-facing facades is occupied with one or more other use(s)
allowed in this zone. Parking in conjunction with other uses allowed in this zone
may also be located on the ground floor of the structure if non-visible from the
right-of-way or public areas."
i. Reasoning: Allows for more options on the ground floor while
mainta.ining the intermingling of commercial uses on the ground floor.
This will also allow housing units on street frontages that are not
conducive to retaiUcommercial uses. Additionally, allowing parking on
the ground floor in a visually unobtrusive area may help alleviate parking
lot landscaping requirements, avoid costiy underground parking, and
provide easier access to future tenants of both commercial and residential
units.
g. Strike Note 4 which reads "The subject property must contain at Ieast one acre
fo.r every 22 dwelling units:'
i. Reasoning: Market forces, physical 1and constraints, and development
requirements will adequately and organically determine density limits.
Devetopments will still be required ta receive certificates of water/sewer
availability and must complete a traffic concurrency analysis to
determine cagacity and mitigation.
h. Change Note 5 to read "1.2 parking stalls per dwelling unit for units of up to 2
bedrooms. 1.8 parking stalls for dwellings units of 3 bedrooms or more. D�veliing
unit parking stalis are in addition to required parking for alI non-residential
ground floor uses. Alternatively, applicant may choose to submit a parking study
in accordance to FWRC � 9.130.080(2)."
i. Reasoning: A parking requirement survey of Iocal jurisdictions revealed
that a garking space per dwelling-type ratio was used for mixed-use
residentiat units. This vviIl help deveIopers plan for a base number of
parking stalls needed without having ta supply a parking study as a pre-
requisite. The section also clarifies that the applicant is still entitled to
submit a parking study to reduce the amount of parking required, as
appropriate.
86
Planning Commission StaffRepott
K.'�20t0 Code Amendments\BC Zone Amendments�Plannine Commission\StaffReport For PC FTNAL_doc Paee 5
i. Change Note 7 to read "The subject property must contain at least 150 square
feet per dwelling unit of common recreational open space usable for many
activities, and r,�ay include �rivate s�aces such as yards, pa�ios, and balconies, as
welt as common areas such as playgrounds, recreation rooms, rooftop terraces,
pools, active lobbies, atriums, or any other areas the director deems appropriate:'
i. Reasoning: The currently required 300 square feet of open space is
prohibitive in terms of the amount of land required to fulfili this
requirement. Additionally, allowing for broader uses to be considered as
open spaces (proximity to parks, trails, outdoor uses, etc;) may help
applicants to achieve open space requirements.
2. Uuder FWRC 19.220.080 "Senior citizen — Special needs housing":
a. Reduce front yazd setback to 0'
i. Reasoning: Mixed use residential (FWRC 19.220A50) allows for 0'
setback, as do most commercial uses. Zero front yard setbacks, when
accompanied by quality architectural design are in keepirtg with a more
urban aesthetic for the city's commercial & mixed-use areas.
b. Change "Height of Structure" to 55' above ABE.
i. Reasoning: Applicants may already achieve the 55' above ABE height
through an administrative review and a set of criteria. Allowing for an
outright height of 55' above ABE affords developers surety that the
height will be allowed and can design around a solid height.
c. Ghange Note 2 to read "Building height may not exceed 30 ft. above ABE for
those portions of the building Iocated within 20 ft. of a residential zone."
i. Reasoning: The original bui�ding height restrictions placed on senior and
special needs housing deyelop�nents were too restrictive due to the
relatively thin shaped Iots that may be redeveloped or vacant, and also
did not protect multi-family (RM) zones. Current code language Iimits
heights of a development in a restrictive stair-step manner. Of the total
parcels within the BC zone, 29 pazcels aze within 20 feet of a single
family residential zone, 29 pazcels within 40 feet, and 52 parcels within
100 feet (Exhibit E). Broadening the setback/height restrictions to att
residential zones protects both adjacent single family and mutti-family
zones, and aiso aIlows for possible development on geographically
constrained sites.
d. Require 0.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit.
i. Reasoning: A parking requirement survey of local jurisdictions revealed
that an average of 0.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit were required for
this type of deyelopment. Tliis will help devetopers plan for a base
number of parking stalls needed without having to supply a pazking
study as a pre-requisite. Applicants still have the option of submitting a
parking study if .it is believed that tess parking stalls are appropriate.
e. Strike existing Note 1 which reads "If approved hy the director of community
development services..."
i. Reasoning: Unnecessary language if granting 55' height outright.
Additionally, the increased setbacks of 1' for each additional l' granted
in height along non-singlc family zones is restrictive aud does iicrl
effectively mitigate any of visual impacts.
Planning Commission StatFReport
K:120I0 Code AmendmentslBC Zone AmendmentslPlanniug Commission\StaffReport For PC F[NAL.doc Page 6
f. Strike existing Note 3 which reads "The subject properly must contain 2,400 sq.
ft. of lot area .per dwelling unit, or at least one acre for every 18 dwelling units".
;. ;Leasaning: P.�arket fo;�es, �hysicalla. �onstraints, and de�elopment
requirements wilI adequately and organically determine density limits.
Developments will still be required to receive certificates of water/sewer
availability and must comp}ete a tra�c concurrency analysis to
determine capacity and mitigation.
g. Add Note 3 to read " Anvlicant may choose to submit a parkin� studv in
accordance with FWRC 19.130.080(2)."
i. Reasoning: Clarify that parking studies may be submitted to the city for
review if it is believed that less parking stalls are appropriate.
Adopt FWRC 19.125.040(28) which reads "Landscaping is not required aion�
perimeter lot lines abutting right of-wavs where no required vards applv pursuant
to Division VI `Zonin� Regulations'."
i. Reasoning: Currently, Type III landscaping five feet in width shall is required
along all perimeter lot lines including the front yard setback under FWRC
19.125.060 in the BC zone. Currently an inconsistency exists where most
commercial developments within various zoning districts are granted a zero front
yard setback, but can not build up to the property line due to this regulation.
Furthermore, if the senior housing front yard setback reduction is adopted, it
would further add to this inconsistency within code.
4. Edit FWRC 19.125.090(n) to read "All new buitdings, inctnding accessory buiIdings
such as carports and garages in PO and BN zones only, shall appear to have a roof
pitch ranging from at least 4:12 to a maximum of 12:12:'
i. Reasoning: Pitched roofs are appropriate tn more residential settings.
Additionally, it is often challenging for structures over 30' to aceommodate such
a design requirement due to roof areas generally being used for elevator housing,
ventilation equipment, and various other development retated machinery. Current
trends also show roof tops being used for open space recreation. Other
architectural methods such as cornices, modulated roof heights, and integrated
architectural art pieces will adequately address aesthetic concerns.
The proposed changes have been illnstrated in ��ibits "A" through "D" of this staff report in
the form of potential zoning charts.
Vo PROCEDURAL SUMMARY
On August 13, 2010, the city issued an Environmental Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS)
on the proposed amendments, with a comment deadline of August 30, 2010, and an appeal
deadline of September 13, 20�0. No comments on the DNS have been submitted to the city as of
the date of transmittal of this staff report. Public notice of the October 24, 2010, public hearing
was published and posted on October 2, 2410, in accordance with the city's procedural
requirements. Stakeholders were notified of the impending pubtic hearing and were sent this staff
report.

VI. PUBLIC COMMENTS
There was one public comment received from Todd Lawson. The e-mail is attached to this staffreport as
Exhibi± F.
VII. REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
FWRC Chapter 19.80, "Process VI Council Rezones," esta.blishes a process and criteria for
zoning code te� amendments. Consistent with Process VI review, the role of the Planning
Commission is as follows:
1, To review and evaluate the zoning code text regarding any proposed amendments.
2. To determine whether the proposed zoning code text amendments meets the criteria provided
by FWRC 19.80.130.
3. To forward a recommendation to the City Council regazding adoption of the proposed zoning
code te�ct amendments.
VIII. DECISIONAL CRITERIA
FWRC I9.80.130 provides criteria for zoning text amendments. 'Fhe following section analyzes
the compl�ance of the proposed zoning text 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 wit'� the applicable provisions of the
comprehensive plan.
The proposed FWRG text amendment is consistent with the following Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) policies:
LUGl Improve the appeatance aud function of the built environment.
LUG6 Transform Community Business areas into vital, attractive, areas with a mix of
uses that appea:l to pedestrians, matorists, and residents, and enhance the
community's image. '
LUPl Use residential design performance standards to maintain neighborhood
character and ensure compatibility with surrounding uses.
LUP2 Use design and performance standards to achieve a greater range of housing
options in multiple-family designations.
LUP6 Conduct regular reviews of development regulations to determine how to
imprave ugon the permit review process.
LUP20 Support a diverse community comprised of neighborhoods that provide a range
of housing options; a vibrant City Center; well designed and functioning
commercial areas; and distinctive neighborhood retail areas_
Planning Commission Staff Report
K:12010 Code AmendmeMS�BC Zone Amendments�Planning Commission\SEaff Report For PC FINAL.doc Page 8
LUP41 Encourage a range of pedestrian-oriented retail, while continuing to
accommodate auto-oriented retail, and provide supportive uses to meet the needs
�+f *.'PS1G� 3P_ PI?2p��Jy 2T1 C.i'1� �.I'P3.
EDP10 The City wiil work with the private sector to actively encourage the retention and
expansion of existing businesses, as well as bring in new development,
businesses, and jobs to the community.
EDP18 The City will periodically monitor local and regional trends to be able to adjust
plans, policies, and programs.
EDP19 The City will actively work with representative groups of business and property
owners, including the Federal Way Chamber and other local business
associations, to enhance citywide and subarea improvements and planning.
2. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare.
The proposed FWRC text amendment bears substantial relationship to the public health,
safety, and welfare because it allows for more flexible integration of recreational areas in
proximity to multi-family uses. Additionally, the te� amendments may also reduce the
amount of vehicIes on pubiic right-of-ways at any given time due to the proximity of
commercial services to the residence. The te�rt amendments as presented will serve the public
health, safety, and welfare.
3. The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
Approval of the proposed cade amendment would benefit the city as a whole as it would
encourage development and redevelopment in the Community Business Zone by not
encumbering developments to reach the maximum height, thus increasing density and also
diversify the types of housing available within the city. Additionally, the proposed te�
amendments would lead to more architecturally diverse deveiopments throughout the city.
The potential to attract new businesses and devetopments (which in turn genera.tes taY
revenue), would be in the best interest of the residents of the city.
IX. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above staff analysis and decisional criteria, staff recommends the approval of the
proposed amendments to FWRC zoning charts 19.220.050 "Mutti-Unit Housing", 19.220.080
"Senior Citizen / Special Needs Housing", and FWRC 19.115.090(n), Community Design
Guidelines, and adopt FWRC 19.125.040(28) "General Landscaping Requirements — All Zones".
X. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Consistent with the provisions of FWRC 19.80.240, the Planning Commission tnay take the
following actions regarding the proposed zoning code text amendments:
1. Recommend to the City Council adoption of the FWRC text amendment as recommended by
staff;

Hey Todd,
Sorry I missed your call. I've attached the zoning charts that we've changed. Unfortunately,
we couldn't find a way to do a fee-in-lieu method for the open space without sacrificing the
timeline for adoption on this. It's something we may try to work on again next year. However,
we did drop the open space requirement down to 200square feet and also made what can count
towards open space more discretionary. Additionally, we clarified the parking stall
requirements instead of it being case-by-case basis. However, this does not mean you can't
get reduced parking requirements through a parking study. Also, we've gotten rid of the
pitched roof requirement in the BC zone.
7ust a quick question though, since the density caps for both senior and mixed use
residential �units have been removed, how much of each do you think you can squeeze on to your
lot?

SUBJECT: Freshwater Algae Control Program Grant ��
BACKGROUND•
In recent years, improved algae education and early detection efforts developed by the Washington
Department of Ecology (Ecology) and the Washington Deparhnent of Health (WADOH) have been
successful in increasing public awareness and safety with respect to freshwater algae blooms. The
City of Federal Way has disseminated this new educational information, and implemented the
published health-based management guidelines. However, we are seeing an increase in lake algae
bloom-related reports (by both City Parks Department personnel and the community at-large).
Federal Way lakes are located in highly urbanized settings, are sensitive to excessive nutrient
loadings and temperature and are shallow. These conditions favor algal bloom formation.
The SWM Division is proposing to implement a Federal Way Lake Algae Program that will focus on
both public and private lakes comprising a total surface area of 153 acres. Lakes targeted for this
could include: Steel Lake, North Lake, Twin Lakes (Lake Lorene and Lake Jeane), Mirror Lake,
Fisher's Bog, Easter Lake, French Lake, and Brooklake. Performing any activities on these or other
water bodies in Federal Way will be dependent upon the need to address algae related water quality
issues. Both public and private lakes will be included in order to provide a comprehensive program
capable of assessing the overall health of our City's natural conveyance system. The following
specific algal bloom management elements will be included in the project: response to reports, early
detection investigations, water quality sampling, sample delivery/analyses, public notification, data
collecting and reporting, and community outreach.
The Federal Way Lake Algae Project will identify problematic conditions occurring in City of
Federal Way freshwater lakes that contribute to algal bloom formation. Most importantly, it will
reduce public health threats and assist in the development of long-term nutrient reduction solutions.
Additionally, the project will complement the following on-going surface water quality programs
and public outreach efforts: the Steel Lake Management District, the North Lake Management
District, the Dumas Bay Saltwater Algae Management/Kesearch grant, and the Municipal Phase II
Stormwater Permit.
Staff is requesting authorization to apply for funding for this project through a DOE grant
opportunity for Freshwater Algae Control Programs. The subject grant requires a 25% match, which
will be obtained from unallocated SWM funds. The total amount being proposed for this program is
$44,690.00, of which $11,172.50 would be SWM matching funds.

SUBJECT: South 320`�' Street at I-5 Southbound Off Ramp — 85% Design Status Report
BACKGROUND
This project consists of widening the southbound off ramp from the present 3 lanes to 5 lanes. The
updated ramp will have dual left turn lanes and three right turn lanes. The lane configuration on South
320`" St will not be modified. Other modifications include relocated curb, gutter and sidewalk at the
northwest quadrant of the intersection, shifting the South 320` Street median island and signal pole
westward, constructing a retaining wall along the west side of the widened ramp, and modifications to the
existing drainage and detention pond. Illumination will be upgraded along the length of the widened
ramp.
The following provides a brief synopsis of the progress on this project to date. Currently, the project
design is approximately 85% complete, which includes the following completed tasks:
• The Topographical Surveys
• The Geotechnical Investigation
• Channelization Plans
• Final Paving Design
• Final Drainage Design
• Project Design to 85%
Ongoing Tasks Include:
• WSDOT Approval of Channelization Plans
• Retaining Wall Design
• Traffic Signal and Illumination Design
• NEPA Environmental Documentation and Approval
• Project Design to 100%
This project is scheduled to go to bid in Apri12011 with construction beginning June 2011.

SUBJECT: School Zone Flashing Beacon Grant Application
BACKGROUND:
The Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) has concluded from its own studies that driver
compliance with the 20 mile per hour school speed limit and collision history were improved when
drivers were given clear direction over when the school speed limit was in effect, and the best way to
accomplish this is with the installation of school zone flashing beacons ("Speed Limit 20 When
Flashing") rather than the subjective "Speed Limit 20 When Children Are Present". To help road
agencies adopt this change, the Commission created a grant program that provides up to $7,500 for
flashing beacon hardware components per school zone that flashing beacons are installed at elementary
schools. The grant would also require that the City provide education materials and targeted enforcement
at the added locations.
City staff has had a similar goal, and currently all but four elementary schools have school zone flashing
beacons installed. With funds from the same WTSC grant program in 2009, school zone flashing beacons
were installed at Sherwood Forest Elementary School and the recently completed follow-up study shows
a significant speed reduction at all hours but especially during the flashing beacon operation. The
remaining four schools are all located on low volume residential streets:
• Silver Lake (SW 325 St & 13`" Ave SV�
• Adelaide SW 304`�' St & 16`�' Ave SW)
• Nautilus (S 289`�' St & 1 l�' Ave S)
• Wildwood (S 300` St & 26`�' Ave S)
Staff has determined that the highest priority and most feasible installation at this time would be the
Silver Lake Elementary School Zone located on SW 325`�' Street at 13`�` Ave SW. Due to the relatively
late release of the call for projects, staff is still evaluating the existing traffic conditions for this location.
Total installation would cost between $15,000 and $20,000 with up to $7,500 reimbursable for flashing
beacon hardware components. The adopted budget allocates $20,000 for school safety improvements in
the Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program, thus limiting the number of installations for which the City
could provide the match.
The deadline for submittal of the grant applications is November 19, 2010 with successful applicants
being notified on December 1, 2010. Installations must be completed prior to Apri130, 2011.
