4. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. 1-5 Access Study Presentation - The City awarded a contract on November 10, 2003, to the
consulting firm CH2MHili to perform a feasibility study to determine access solutions to the congested
interchange at South 320th Street and 1-5. South of 320th, WSDOT has determined that 1-5 is a High
Accident Corridor (HAC) and the interchange at South 3201h Street is a High Accident Location (HAL).
The study area is generally defined as:
. The Interstate 5 mainline between SR 18 and South 272nd Street
. The ramp termini intersections
. An area including the City Center bounded by SR99 to the west
. An extended corridor off-set and parallel % mile east of 1-5
. South 272nd Street to the north and South 348th Street to the south
Staff is organizing targeted public involvement to gain neighborhood representation and source links of
communication for the project. Stakeholder representatives of neighborhood groups will participate in
formal information sessions. Staff and CH2MHili are working on agency participation groups for the Support
Group, Advisory Committee and Stakeholder members that will be reviewed by WSDOT on December 16,
2003.
Beginning in January 2004, there will be additional public, LUTC and City Council briefings and updates.
B. Big Box Retail in City Center - As part of the 2001 Planning Commission work program, staff was
asked to develop a code amendment excluding discount retail establishments from the City Center Core
(CC-C) in order to encourage multistory, pedestrian-scale, mixed-use development that more efficiently
uses CC-C land and maintains compatibility with the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. Incentive
strategies approved to date include:
.
A limited property tax exemption for residential and mixed-use projects in the City Center.
K \lU IC ,\gendas and Summanes 2003\Dcccmbe, 15.2003. LUTC Mnules doc
.
Staff IS proceeding with a SEPA Planned Action and related code amendments/ordinances,
slated for adoption in early 2004
Redevelopment strategies and/or potential public-private partnership Ideas and has decided to
make this Issue a key topic of the Council's annually retreat in January 2004
.
Given the strong recommendations from the public for the City to explore and consider incentives, and given
the previously cited Council and staff actions and work items, staff has dedicated its time to incentive-
oriented strategies with the intention of reintroducing these code amendments as part of a bundle of
proposals for City Council consideration to include the SEPA Planned Action ordinance, City Center code
changes, and potential redevelopment strategies.
C. Colella Estates Preliminary Plat - The Colella Estates site is located north of SW 320tll Street at
approximately 30tll Avenue SW and extends from 315th Street to a future 31 Otl1 Street. The majority of the
developable portion of the site is located north of SW 31 ih Street. The Colella Estates project includes a
40-lot conventional subdivision for the southeasterly fourteen acres of the 59-acre site and a 46-lot cluster
subdivision for the northwesterly forty-five acres of the site. The owner has agreed to pay the City $53,000
in mitigation fees and will perform an additional traffic study when 75% of the hOmes are occupied to
determine the need for further traffic calming devices. The Committee m/s/c recommendation to the City
Council to approve the Colella Estates Preliminary Plat at its meeting January 6, 2004.
D. Work Program Progress Report - Staff reported many accomplishments in 2003. Those
accomplishments included the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Update, the PM Study, annexation work, and
several code amendments. The Permit Stakeholder's Recommendations were implemented; five major
commercial projects were reviewed, including the Metropolitan Market and SeaTac Mall; four residential
plats, three preliminary and one final, were reviewed and approved by Council; staff reviewed development
applications for Christian Faith Center, Sound Transit, SeaTac Mall, City Hall tenant improvements and a
new Community Center. The Building Official was instrumental in adoption of IBC Codes in the State
Legislature, major upgrades to the Amanda Permit Tracking System, and was a major player in City Hall
planning. Considerable work was accomplished with the Tourism and Economic Development Committees.
A consultant was hired, a Public Scoping Meeting was conducted, and preliminary traffic results were
reviewed for Planned Action SEPA for Downtown. Code amendments to facilitate development were
identified; a team to plan publicity for the City was implemented and businesses were assisted with
information about locating in Federal Way. A multi-family tax exemption for future City Center residential
development was passed by Council. Twenty-six applications for Block Grants were processed and thirty-
seven contracts for Human Services Funds were administered. Korean Community meetings were
coordinated. CERT training was provided and a grant from King County EOC for equipment was obtained.
Volunteers were recruited and then honored at a May "beach party" themed event.
While the above accomplishments are not the entire list of great things accomplished in the last twelve
months, Deputy Mayor McColgan thanked all staff for its hard work. He said that the bar is high here in
Federal Way and the plate is always full. He acknowledged that Council is always adding more. But he
also emphasized that the Council does appreciate all that staff does. Chair Faison echoed Deputy Mayor
McColgan's comments and added that he has enjoyed being LUTC Chair for the past two years.

Amendments to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, Article XIII, Division
11, "Vehicles and Boats" (Oversized Vehicles) (File No. 03-102457-00-UP)
To:
VIA:
FROM:
MEETING DATE: January 12, 2004
I.
BACKGROUND
The proposed code amendments to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, Article XIII,
Division 11, "Vehicles and Boats" (Oversized Vehicles, Exhibit A) were presented to the City
èouncil at their September 2 and 16, 2003, public meetings for first and second readings,
respectively. During these meetings, there was testimony both in favor and against the amendments
from members of the public. At the end of the Council deliberations on September 16,2003, the
Council made a motion for staff to research certain questions and take the amendments back to the
Planning Commission for add itional review and possible revision. Staff researched these questions
and provided them to the Planning Commission at an October 29,2003, public hearing (Exhibit B).
The Planning Commission continued the public hearing to November 19, 2003 (Exhibit C) and
December 10,2003 (Exhibit D). After the close of the December 10,2003, public hearing, the
Planning Commission recommended approval of those amendments shown in Exhibit E. Minutes for
these meetings are enclosed as Exhibits F, G. and H and correspondence and e-mail from citizens are
attached as Exhibit M.
II.
DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS/PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
A. Planning Commission's Recommendation
The proposed code amendment as drafted in Exhibit E incorporates the following Planning
Commission's recommendations:
I. Make no changes to the regulations governing recreational vehicles, trailers, and boats at
this time.t .
I Changcs may bc entertained at a tìlturc Planning Commission public hearing that \\ill bc publicizcd to encourage
thc attendance and input of owners of recreational vehicles. trailers. and boats
2.
Define commercial vehicle based on use.
3. Allow commercial vehicles up to 10.000 Ibs gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) on
any residentially zoned lot, regardless of lot size.
4.
Allow commercial vehicles of any size on any lot in a Single-Family Residential (RS
35.0 - one unit per 35,000 square feet) or Suburban Estates (SE - one unit per five
acres) zone.
5. Allow only one commercial vehicle per residentially zoned lot except for commercial
vehicles used for loading and unloading purposes, and commercial vehicles used for
construction purposes with a valid development permit.
6. Allow vehicles not more than nine feet in height and 22 feet in length used for private
construction purposes on any residentially zoned lot.
7.
For the exclusive purpose of loading or unloading the vehicle, allow commercial
vehicles to be parked on any residentially zoned lot for a maximum of 48 hours.
8.
Do not regulate vehicles used for non-commercial purposes, regardless of their GVWR.
B. Proposed Code Amendments
As a result of these recommendations, the following changes have been made to FWCC, Chapter
22, Division II (Exhibit E). Proposed changes are shown as strikeout (proposed deletions) and
underline (proposed additions):
I; Amended the title to more clearly describe the code section.
2.
Deleted existing language in FWCC Section 22-176, which pertains to vehicles and
boats.
3. Addressed commercial vehicles in a new FWCC Section 22-1176, and recreational
vehicles and boats in a new FWCC Section 22-1177.
4. Moved regulations pertaining to recreational vehicles and boats to FWCC Section 22-
1177. The language in this section has been reformatted to be consistent with the
remainder of Division II.
FWCC Section 22 1177 22-1178, which provides for exceptions to the code based on a Process
III review and approval, has been retained. In addition, a new definition for "Commercial
Vehicles" was added to FWCC Chapter 22, Section 22-1, "Definitions" (Exhibit I).
C. Other Code Amendments
As part of this code amendment, staff discovered a mistake that was made by the codifiers in
1992. At that time, sections of the code were renumbered and rearranged. This resulted in a cross
^mendmenls to FWCC Chapter 22, ^rticlc XIII, Division I. "Vehicles and Boats"
1/12103 Planning Commission Recommendation to LUTC

reference to Division 11, .. Vehicles and Boats" being dropped from the requirement of
immediate conformance in r-WCC Section 22-330.
¡.wce Section 22-330, "'Immediate Compliance with Certain Provisions Required"' states:
"( a) (;cncro/ Iv. Regard \css of any other provisions of th is article, the fo II 0\\ ing
nonconformances must be immediately brought into conformance with the applicable
provisions of this chapter;
...(8) Nonconformance with the provisions in FWCC 22-1111 et seq.: regarding
parking and storage of large vehicles in residential zones."
Prior to the 1992 codification, the nonconformance section (Chapter 165.25) referred only to,
"Non-conformance with the provisions in Chapter 115 regarding parking and storage of large
vehicles in residential zones" (Exhibit J). However, there were two sections (Chapter 115.105 and
115.145) in Chapter 115 that governed parking and storage of large veh icles in residential zones
(/:'-'d1ibir./). When the code was codified, Chapter 165.25 became Section 22-330, Chapter
115.105 became Section 22-1111, and Chapter 115.145 became Section 22-1176, et al. (Exhibit
K). Section 22-330 now only references Section 22-1111, et seq. (Exhibit K. Page 2 of 4). We
are, therefore, proposing to add a reference to FWCC Section 22-1176 et seq. in FWCC Section
22-330(8) (refer to Exhibit L).
In regards to the above, the City is aware of one home occupation with an associated commercial
vehicle in a residentially zoned area. With the passage of these amendments as presently written, this
vehicle, which is approximately 20,000 Ibs GVWR, could no longer be parked legally on that lot.
This lot is 15,480 square feet and is located in a Single-Family Residential (RS 7.2) zone.
III. ADDITIONAL PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS
During the December 1O, 2003, public hearing, two citizens testified that they owned backhoes,
which are used for private yard improvement and landscaping purposes. After taking public
testimony, the Planning Commission made a motion to allow construction vehicles for private use on
residentially zoned lots as long as they meet the existing code in terms of size. The existing code
allows any vehicle or boat to be parked or stored on a lot in a residential zone if the vehicle or boat is
both nine feet in height or less and 22 feet in length or less. The Planning Commission did not
recommend placing any other additional requirements such as screening of these vehicles.
If this amendment is adopted as recommended by the Planning Commission, a backhoe or any other
commercial vehicle used for private construction purposes could be stored on a lot of any size and be
located anywhere on that lot, including the driveway. As a result, staff recommends that additional
language be added to allow these commercial vehicles on residentially zoned lots only if they are not
visible from a public right-of-way or access easement, or parked in the driveway. This would result in
the following language in Section 22-1176(e):
A maximum of one commercial vehicle not more than nine feet in height and 22 feet in
length may be parked on any lot if used for private construction purposes and when it is
not visible from a right-of-way or access easement and not parked in the drivewav.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Amendments to Federa/ Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, Article XIII,
Division 11, "Vehicles and Boats" (Oversized Vehicles)
Planning Commission Meeting of October 29, 2003
I.
BACKGROUND
The proposed code amendments to Federa/ Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, Article XIII,
Division 11, "Vehicles and Boats" (Oversized Vehicles) were presented to the City Council at their
September 2 and 16, 2003 public meetings for first and second readings respectively (Exhibit A).
During these meetings there was testimony both in favor and against the amendments from
members of the public. At the end of the Council deliberations on September 16, 2003, the
Council made a motion for staff to research those items discussed in Section II of this staff report
and take the amendments back to the Planning Commission for additional review and possible
revision. Staff has also addressed testimony from the neighbors, which is discussed in Section III
of this report.
II.
RESEARCH REQUESTED BY COUNCIL
A.
The Council requested staff to research and respond to the following:
1.
Prepare a matrix comparing how other jurisdictions regulate commercial vehicles,
boats and recreational vehicles on lots in residential zones.
Compare Federal Way regulations governing on-street parking of Oversize
Vehicles and parking of Oversize Vehicles on lots in residential zones.
Research whether there are any regulations that would prohibit big diesel trucks
from starting up in the middle of night. Research whether the Home Occupation
section of the code could regulate this.
Research regulations governing leaking of hydraulic fluids.
2.
3.
4.
B.
Staff has responded to each of these items as follows:
1.
Comparison Matrix
Staff researched the codes and spoke to staff of Bellevue, Tacoma, Auburn,
Tukwila, Kent, Sumner, Renton and Redmond to obtain information on whether
theses cities regulate commercial vehicles and recreational vehicles and boats
within residential zones. The results are shown in Table I, which compare
regulations of commercial vehicles and in Table II, which compare regulations of
boats and recreational vehicles.
In general, use of private property, in this case storage and parking of vehicles is
regulated through the Zoning Code and the Traffic Code regulates parking in rights
EXHIBIT ~
PAGE -a OF I. .
of ways. All the cities contacted have adopted regulations to govern on-street
parking, however Auburn, Kent and Renton have no regulations to prohibit parking
of commercial vehicles in residential areas/zones and Auburn, Tukwila and Renton
do not regulate recreational vehicles or boats in residential areas/zones. In
addition, the majority of the cities that regulate commercia! vehicles, with the
exception of Bellevue and Tukwila, regulate commercial vehicles based on gross
weight vehicle rating (GVWR), with the majority of cities using a 10,000 Ib GVWR
cut off between commercial and non-commercial vehicles. There were fewer
similarities between how the cities contacted regulate recreational vehicles and
boats; however¡ most had some requirement for screening. For specific differences
between cities, please refer to Tables I and II.
2.
Federal Way Regulations Governing On-Street Parking
FWCC¡ Section 15-82, Parking commercial vehicles in residential areas states "No
person shall park a commercial vehicle which is more than 80 inches wide overall
on any street or alley in residential areas zoned SE, RS and RM between the hours
of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m."
Based on recent communication from the Citis Public Safety Department, the
police are enforcing this code section.
3.
Regulations Governing Large Diesel Trucks And Noise At Night
The City of Federal Way has no existing regulations that govern a large diesel truck
parked within any zone in the City starting and running its engine at night. In researching
the regulations of the other cities mentioned previously, we found that several cities
including Renton¡ Sumner and Burien regulated the operation of vehicles at night. Renton
prohibits a vehicle over 12¡000 Ibs GVWR and located within 500 feet of residential
buildings from operating any motor¡ engine, compressor or other device for more than 10
consecutive minutes or a total of ten minutes within a two-hour period between the
hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. The City of Sumner prohibits a commercial vehicle on a public
right of way and located within 500 feet of residential dwellings from operating any
motor, engine, compressor or other device for more than 10 minutes in a 2-hour period.
The City of Burien requires that between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., no
person shall park a commercial vehicle upon the public right-of-way within 500 feet of
residential dwellings and permit any motor, engine¡ compressor or other device to
operate for more than 10 consecutive minutes or a total of 10 minutes within any two-
hour period.
There was also a question on whether the Federal Way Home Occupation section of the
code could regulate noise associated with the operation of commercial vehicles during the
night. In response to this, the Home Occupation section applies only to whether you are
running a business out of your house and not if you are on-call to a business located
elsewhere.
4.
Regulations Governing Leaking Of Hydraulic Fluids
A citizen was concerned that parking of commercial vehicles in residentially zoned areas
would result in groundwater contamination due to leaking of hydraulic fluids. FWCC,
Section 21-37. Prohibited Discharges states that "It is unlawful for any person to
discharge contaminants into surface and stormwater, groundwater, or Puget Sound.
----

P AGE~,j ~-2. =I
Contaminants include, but are not limited to, the following:
(3) Petroleum products including but not limited to oil, gasoline, grease, fuel
oil, heating oil;
(21)
Recreational vehicle waste;
It is a violation of City Code to discharge contaminants that would eventually end up into
surface water, groundwater, stormwater or Puget Sound. Therefore, if the City receives a
complaint or otherwise discovers that a truck is leaking hydraulic fluid, it is treated as a
violation and the owner of the truck is contacted and asked to cease the action and take
corrective measures if necessary. Failure to comply may result in civil enforcement
actions and/or sanctions
A.
RESPONSE TO TESTIMONY FROM THE PUBLIC
B.
During the Land Use Transportation Committee meetings of September 2, and 16, 2003,
the following concerns were expressed by some members of the public.
1.
The amendments would allow RVs and boats less than 28 feet in length to be
parked in driveways. There was a concern that this would result in them bring
parked partially on the sidewalk.
2.
There was a question on how the height of boats and RVs is measured
3.
There was just a general concern about increasing the allowable length of RVs
and boats from 22 feet to less than 28 feet on driveways.
Meeting with interested parties
Staff contacted all parties that had presented public testimony at the LUTC meetings and
on October 15, 2003, staff met with seven of these citizens (See Exhibit B -- Signup
Sheet). Staff explained the reasons for the proposed amendments and listened to their
concerns which are summarized as follows:
1.
Concern about changing the way commercial vehicles and RVs and boats are
measured.
2.
There was the perception that the code would be made more lenient to the
detriment of the City as a whole.
3.
Concern about the way that height is presently measured.
4.
Concern about the proposed code amendment from a present homeowner, who
has lived in Federal Way for over 25 years, and whose husband drives a truck.
s.
Concern that the Public Safety Department is not enforcing the on-street parking
restrictions.
The concerns presented to the LUTC and to staff are generally the same; therefore, staff
has combined responses where possible:

1.
Concern About RV Parking Extending Unto Sidewalks
The proposed code amendment includes specific language in Section 22-1177(c) as
follows:
Recreational/utility vehicles and boats less than 28 feet in length, such as travel trailers,
folding tent trailers, motor homes, truck campers removed from a truck or pick-up, horse
trailers, boat trailers with or without boats, and utility trailers based on the following
conditions:
(1) Vehicle does not intrude into public rights-of-way, pedestrian pathways, or
obstruct sight visibility from adjacent driveways.
(2) Vehicle is maintained in a clean, operable condition.
(3) Vehicle parking or storage is accessory to an existing permitted residential use."
It was the intent of this section to prohibit an RV or boat from parking in a driveway if it
intruded into the right of way and any pedestrian pathway, including sidewalks. We can
amend this language to clarify that sidewalks are included.
2.
Measuring The Height Of Boats And RVs.
The new code, if adopted in its present form, would not be based on height but on
weight of commercial vehicles and length of RV's and boats. The present code does not
include a definition of height relating to boats or RVs. Traditionally; the Code
Enforcement Officer has measured height from ground level to the highest structural
point, not incluèling any mechanical appurtenances such as air conditioners or accessories
such as antennae or luggage racks.
3.
Concern about Increasing The Allowable Length Of RVs And Boats From 22 Feet
The proposed maximum length for recreational vehicles of 28 feet to be allowed on
driveways is the result of information gathered from RV dealers about the length of the
current classes of vehicles.
Motor homes are divided into three classes, "A," "B," and "c" Each has a general length
range and chassis base. Class "A" motor homes are the largest and can be up to 45-feet in
length and 13-feet tall. They are typically built on a dedicated bus-style chassis. Classes
"6" and "(" are based on a heavy duty van chassis and use the van nose or cab section.
Class "(" motor homes can be up to 32-feet in length and have a cabover-style van front
end. Class "6" motor homes are based on lengthened and modified van chassis and run to
24-feet in length. They also use the van cab.
The 28-foot length maximum length was chosen to accommodate the smaller van-based
motor homes and what appeared to be the more common length for travel trailers based
on experience in the field. Moreover, the maximum length of an RV to be parked in the
driveway would be limited by the subject property's ability to accommodate the vehicle. In
most residential zones, front yard setbacks are 20 feet. The proposed amendment also
includes a requirement that regardless of length, any vehicle stored on a residential
driveway is prohibited from obstructing or overhanging any public walkway, sidewalk, or

4.
Concern about Making the Code More Lenient as It Relates to RVs and Boats
Some of the concerns raised during the public testimony concerned the potential impact
of allowing larger RVs (greater than the presently allowable 22 feet) especially on smaller
lots. Smaller lots are normally found on platted versus un-platted lots. Platted lots are
usually associated with newer subdivisions that have private covenants in place. It has
been the City's experience that many private covenants have specific restrictions about
storing RVs and boats on lots. These restrictions are typically stricter than even existing
city regulations. Covenants are private restrictions specific to a subdivision. Covenants
are recorded with King County and runs with the land. The City does not enforce
covenants
5.
Concern from existing commercial vehicle operators
The existing city regulations apply to all parcels within residential zones regardless of their
size. Although it may not provide relief to all existing operators, having a different
regulation throughout the city based on lot size may be an alternative. For example,
commercial vehicles, RVs and boats of any size could be allowed in RS 35.0and SE (1 unit
per five acres) if parked entirely on that lot. The proposed code already includes an
exemption for vehicles used for agricultural purposes on any lot in a Single Family
Residential (RS 35.0) or Suburban Estates (SE) zone.
6.
Concern about non-enforcement of On-street parking Restrictions
Please refer to response under Section II B 2 of this staff report
IV.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
After holding a public hearing and taking public input:
1. Request staff to provide additional research on specific items and make changes
to the proposed code as directed by the Planning Commission, bringing the amendments
back to the Planning Commission at a future continuation of this evening's public hearing.
2.
Forward the proposed code back to the City Council with no changes.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Amendments to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chaphr 22, Article XIII
Division 11, "Vehicles and Boats" (Oversized Vehicles)
I.
Planning Commission Meeting of November 19,2003
BACKGROUND
The proposed code amendments to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, Article XIII,
Division II, "Vehicles and Boats" (Oversized Vehicles, Exhibit A) were presented to the City
Council at their September 2 and 16,2003, public meetings for first and second readings,
respectively. During these meetings, there was testimony both in favor and against the amendments
from members of the public. At the end of the Council deliberations on September 16,2003, the
Council made a motion for staff to research certain questions and take the amendments back to the
Planning Commission for additional review and possible revision. Staff researched these questions
and provided them to the Planning Commission at an October 29,2003, public hearing. The Planning
Commission continued the public hearing to November 19,2003, with a request for staff to research
additional questions listed in Section II of this staff report.
II.
ADDITIONAL RESEARCH REQUESTED By PLANNING COMMISSION
A.
The Planning Commission requested staff to research and respond to the following:
l.
2.
They wanted to see commercial vehicles and recreational vehicles regulated separately.
They requested staff to research a lot exemption to allow commercial vehicles on larger
City lots. The location of the parking of the vehicle.relative to the property line should also
be considered.
Related to the above potential lot exemption, they requested staff to prepare a matrix which
shows the residential zoning districts and the corresponding lot sizes.
They inquired whether a commercial vehicle being used for personal reasons could be
treated differently from a commercial vehicle being used purely for commercial purposes.
Both the existing code, as presently written, and the proposed code would allow parking of
commercial vehicles on residentially zoned lots with a Process III review and approval
based on meeting certain criteria. However, several Planning Commissioners were
concerned that the Process III fee, which is over $1,000, was too much for this purpose.
They wanted staff to consider a less expensive exemption process.
They asked staff to further explain why the length of RVs and boats to be allowed on a
driveway was proposed to be increased from 22 to 28 feet.
They were interested in limiting the number of commercial vehicles and RVs/boats on a lot.

8.
They requested additional research on where the cutoff weight should be for commercial
vehicles versus a vehicle used for private transportation purposes.
They requested staff to consider an intervening step based on performance standards to
allow commercial vehicles before having to apply for a Process III approval.
9.
B.
Staff has responded to each of these items as follows:
I.
Planning Commission Request
Provide a separate code section for commercial vehicles and recreational vehicles/boats.
Staff Response
Staff can prepare a code amendment that separates the regulation of commercial vehicles
from recreational vehicles and boats. The code language would be drafted after the
Planning Commission made a recommendation on the standards to be adopted for each.
Staff Recommendation
Staff concurs with the Planning Commission direction and will prepare two separate code
amendments for the Planning Commission's review.
2.
Planning Commission Request
Research a lot exemption to allow commercial vehicles on larger City lots. Consider the
location of the parking of the vehicle relative to the property line.
Staff Response .
As shown in the newly proposed Section 22-1178, "Commercial Vehicles Exempted"
(page I of I of Exhibit A), staff has proposed an exemption for, "Vehicles used for
agricultural purposes on any lot in a Single Family Residential (RS 35.0) or Suburban
Estates (SE) zone." This exemption could be expanded to include any lot greater than
15,000 square foot in size in a RS 15.0 (one unit per 15,000 square feet) zone, as well as in
the SE (one unit per five acres) and RS 35.0 (one unit per 35,000 square feet) zones, and
could apply the exemption to any commercial vehicle. .
Regulating location of parking on a lot may be complicated. FWCC Section 22-1135
allows parking in front and rear yards if on an approved driveway. Please refer to the
matrix associated with Question No.3, which shows required yard setbacks in each zone.
In lieu of regulating placement of commercial vehicles on a lot, from an enforcement
position it may be better to require standards, such as limiting the number of vehicles per
lot and screening.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that commercial vehicles be allowed on larger lots as discussed under
the above "Staff Response."
3.
Planning Commission Request
Prepare a matrix that shows the residential zoning districts and the corresponding lot sizes.

Staff Response
The following matrix shows all of the City of Federal Way zon ing districts and the
corresponding minimum lot sizes and yard setbacks. Except for the multiple-family zoning
districts, Federal Way's zoning is not density-based but requires a certain minimum lot size
for all newly created lots. However, a lot of any size is considered to be a legal building lot
and can be built on if was created prior to Federal Way's incorporation on February 28,
199O, with certain exceptions. This means that a lot can be less than the minimum size and
still be considered legal if it existed prior to incorporation.

Planning Commission Request
Could a commercial vehicle being used for personal reasons be treated differently from a
commercial vehicle being used purely for commercial purposes?
Staff Response
The definition of a commercial vehicle in the proposed language (Section 22-1176 of
Exhibit A) includes the truck's primary use in addition to the GVWR to define it as a
commercial vehicle. Weight rating alone does not define the vehicle as necessarily
commcrcial. It is possiblc a truck not used for commercial purposes could be stored on a

5.
Planning Commission Requcst
They requested staff to consider a less expensive exemption process to allow oversized
commercial vehicles on residential lots.
Staff Response
Both the existing code, as presently written, and the proposed code would allow parking of
commercial vehicles on residentially zoned lots with a Process III review and approval
based on meeting certain criteria. However, several Planning Commissioners were
concerned that the Process III fee, which is over $1,000, was too much for this purpose.
The City code sets out six different processes, Process I through Process VI. Process I and
II arc administrative review and approval and does not require notification of adjacent
property owners. Process III is also an administrative review process; however, property
owners within 300 feet are notified by mail of the request. Process IV and V require public
hearings before the Hearing Examiner, and Process VI requires a public hearing by the
Planning Commission with a decision by the Council. [n general the application fees
increase with each higher process.
Process III is the only administrative process that requires written notification. The fees for
each process arc adopted by ordinance; therefore, fees cannot be changes for a particular
t)ve of Process II [ without an amendment to the ordinance. Any lower process, though less

expensive, would not require notification. Given these parameters, and assuming it is the
Planning Commission's desire to allow an exemption for commercial vehicles, it may be
better to pursue it through another mechanism.
Staff Recommendation
Given the existing fee schedule and the way that the processes work, staff is unable to
propose a less expensive exemption process and still require notification of adjacent
property owners.
6.
Planning Commission Request
They asked staff to further explain why the length of R V s and boats to be allowed on a
driveway was proposed to be increased from 22 to 28 feet.
Staff Response
Motorhomes are categorized into specific classes. Class "A" motorhomes are typically the
largest of the recreational vehicles. These are typically constructed on a commercial truck
or bus chassis and can be as long as 45 feet.

Due to this wide variation in length of trailers and motorhomes, staff reviewed other cities'
codes. As shown in Table II - Recreational Vehicles and Boats, of the eight other cities
surveyed (not including Federal Way), four (Tacoma, Auburn, Tukwila, and Renton) did
not regulate the parking of recreational vehicles on residential lots. Two other cities (Kent
and Sumner) prohibited parking of RVs in driveways unless they were screened. Bellevue
allowed parking on driveways, if screened and if there was no reasonable access to the rear
or side yard, and Redmond allowed parking on driveways if parked perpendicular to the
abutting street right-of-way.
Bellevue was the only city surveyed which set a maximum allowable length for recreational
vehicles. Bellevue sets a maximum length of28 feet for RVs on driveways before some
form of screening is required. Bellevue also set an absolute maximum length for storage of
a recreational vehicle on a residential lot at 40 feet.
A website review of some of the more common makers listed the length of their more
popular trailers to be from 29 to 39 feet in length. The proposed code amendment shown in
Exhibit A would prohibit all Class "A" motorhomes, most Class "C" motorhomes, and
some ofthe Class "B" motorhomes from being parked on a residential driveway. Please
note that regardless of the length of the vehicle, it must be completely contained on the
driveway and cannot overhang the sidewalk, right-of-way, or other pedestrian pathways.
Moreover, the maximum length of an R V to be parked in the driveway would be limited by
the subject property's ability to accommodate the vehicle. In most residential zones, front
yard setbacks are 20 feet.
Staff Recommendation
Based on further research, staff recommends a change in the proposed language of FWCC
Section 22-1177 as follows:
(c) Recreational/utility vehicles and boats less than 28 24 feet or less in length, such as
travel trailers, folding tent trailers, motor homes, truck campers removed from a truck or
pick-up, horse trailers, boat trailers with or without boats, and utility trailers based on the
following conditions:
(1) Vehicle does not intrude into public rights-of-way, sidewalks, pedestrian pathways,
or obstruct sight visibility from adjacent driveways.
(2) Vehicle is maintained in a clean, operable condition.
(3) Vehicle parking or storage is accessory to an existing permitted residentialllsc.
(d) Recreational/utility vehicles and boats 28 feet in length or longer than 24 feet may
be stored on any lot in a residential zone when not visible from the public right-of-way and
not stored or parked in the driveway.
(e) No more than one unit of a recreational vehicle (travel trailers, tent trailers, and
camping trailers, all of which must be towed by a car; and truck campers, motorhomes, and
camper vans, all of which have the motor within the body of the vehicle) or structure shall
be stored outside an enclosed building or structure on residential property.

Please note that stafT proposes to add a definition of how to measure the length of R Vs and
boats. The lengths of the R V s in the pictures shown are the lengths of the R V s themselves,
without the hitch. Staffs definition will include the hitch in the measurement. This should
result in the length of the RV itself being approximately 22 feet in length, similar to
existing code. In addition, height will not be considered.
7.
Planning Commission Request
They were inter'ested in limiting the number of commercial vehicles and RVs/boats on a lot.
Staff Response and Recommendation
Please refer to the staff recommendation under Planning Commission Request No.6 above,
pertaining to the limiting of recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers on a residential lot.
Staff recommends that where commercial vehicles are allowed, they are also limited to one
vehicle per lot.
8.
Planning Commission Request
They requested additional research on where the cutoff weight should be for commercial
vehicles versus a vehicle used for private transportation purposes.
Staff Response
Research of manufacturer's ratings indicated the factory gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR) of the largest personal use pickup or light truck was in the range of 9000-9500
pounds. A recent updating of manufacture's data on weight ratings, length, and capacity for
the largest personal use I ight trucks showed GVWR ratings that varied from 9100 pounds
to 9900 pounds, when indicated. One maker listed combined weight ratings rather than
GVWR. This would be for a fully loaded vehicle plus the weight of whatever was being
towed.

The majority of codcs from neighboring cities used 10,000 pounds as the cut-off for
separating commcrcial from personal use light trucks. Tacoma was the only city surveyed
with a cut-off greater than 10,000 pounds, permitting vehicles of up to 12,000 pounds
GVWR.
As discussed under Planning Commission Request #4, the definition of a commercial
vehicle in the proposed language (Section 22-1176 of Exhibit A) also includes the truck's
primary use in addition to the GVWR to define it as a commercial vehicle. Weight rating
alone does not define the vehicle as necessarily commercial. It is possible a truck not used
for commercial purposes could be stored on a residential lot and have a GVWR in excess of
10,000. This could be the case with the smaller commercial trucks (often rated to 20,000
GVWR) used to tow the larger travel trailers, or 5th wheel trailers.
TRUCK WITH 20,000 LBS GVWR
Staff has provided the following pictures in order to assist you in determining whether there
should be a maximum GVWR for large vehicles used for private transportation purposes
and where the cut of should be for commercial vehicles, such as tow trucks, allowed on any
residential lots.

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt an upper limit GVWR for vehicles
used for private transportation purposes. .
9.
Planning Commission Request
They requested staff to consider an intervening step based on performance standards to
allow commercial vehicles before having to apply for a Process III approval.
Staff Response and Recommendation
Before we can adequately respond to this request, we would like the Planning Commission
to act on the previous questions, since adoption of performance standards beyond screening
and limiting the number of commercial vehicles on a residential lot may not be necessary.
III. ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATION BY STAFF
In researching the regulations of other cities, we found that several cities, including Renton, Sumner,
and Burien, regulated the operation of vehicles at night. Renton prohibits a vehicle over 12,000 Ibs
GVWR and located within 500 feet of residential buildings from operating any motor, engine,
compressor, or other device for more than 10 consecutive minutes or a total of ten minutes, within a
two-hour period between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. The City of Sumner prohibits a commercial
vehicle on a public right-of-way and located within 500 feet of residential dwellings from operating
any motor, engine, compressor, or other device for more than 10 minutes in a two-hour period. The
City of Burien requires that between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., no person shall park a
c~mmercial vehicle upon the public right-of-way within 500 feet of residential dwellings and permit
any motor, engine, compressor, or other device to operate for more than 10 consecutive minutes or a
total of 10 minutes, within any two-hour period.
We recommend adding language to the code amendment for commercial vehicles to address noise
associated with commercial vehicles atnight.
IV. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
After further discussion and taking public input:
\.
Request staff to craft two separate code amendments to address commercial vehicles and
RVs/boats based on the direction provided by the Planning Commission, bringing the amendments
back to the Planning Commission at a future continuation of this evening's public hearing.
Request staff to do additional research as directed by the Planning Commission.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Amendments to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chaphr 22, Article XIII
Division 11, "Vehicles and Boats" (Oversized Vehicles)
Planning Commission Meeting of December 10,2003
I.
BACKGROUND
The proposed code amendments to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, Article XIII,
Division 11, "Vehicles and Boats" (Oversized Vehicles, Exhibit A) were presented to the City
Council at their September 2 and 16,2003, public meetings for first and second readings,
respectively. During these meetings, there was testimony both in favor and against the amendments
from members of the public. At the end of the Council deliberations on September 16,2003, the
Council made a motion for staff to research certain questions and take the amendments back to the
Planning Commission for additional review and possible revision. Staff researched these questions
and provided them to the Planning Commission at an October 29, 2003, public hearing. The Planning
Commission continued the public hearing to November 19,2003, with a request for staff to research
additional questions. Staff presented this research at the November 19, 2003, continuation of the
public hearing, at which time the Plan~ing Commission requested that staff prepare a code
amendment, which incorporates the following:
I. Prepare separate code sections to govern commercial vehicles and recreational vehicles,
trailers, and boats.
2. Define commercial vehicle based on use.
3. Allow commercial vehicles up to 12,000 Ibs gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) on
any lot, regardless of size.
4. Allow commercial vehicles of any size on any lot in a Single-Family Residential (RS
35.0) or Suburban Estates (SE) zone.
5. Allow only one commercial vehicle per lot.
6. Make no changes to the regulations governing recreational vehicles, trailers, and boats at
this time. Changes may be entertained at a future Planning Commi~sion public hearing
that will be publicized to encourage the attendance and input of owners of recreational
vehicles, trailers, and boats.

PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENT
Based on Planning Commission direction (see items 1-6, above), staffhas prepared the proposed code
amendments shown in Exhibit B. Proposed changes to the existing code are shown in a strikeout
(deletions) and underline (additions) format. Even though the regulations for commercial vehicles
have been separated from those governing recreational vehicles, trailers, and boats, they are proposed,
to be kept in the same Division 11 to prevent duplication of language, such as the exceptions, which
would apply to "oversized" commercial vehicles as well as oversized recreational vehicles, trailers,
and boats.
III.
STAFF RECOMMENDA nON
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward the code amendments as proposed in
Exhibit B, C, and H to the City Council for approval. Exhibit C contains the new definition for
"commercial vehicle" and Exhibit H is a code correction that was previously discussed in the July 6,
2003, Planning Commission Staff Report (please refer to following paragraph).
FWCC Section 22-330, "Immediate Compliance with Certain Provisions Required" states:
"(a) Generally. Regardless of any other provisions of this article, the following
nonconformances must be immediately brought into conformance with the applicable
provisions of this chapter;
...(8) Nonconformance with the provisions in FWCC 22-1111 et seq.; regarding
parking and storage of large vehicles in residential zones."
In reviewing this section, staff realized that this should also have referenced FWCC Section 22-1176
et seq. This omission apparently occurred when the code was codified in 1992.
Prior to the codification, the nonconformance section (Chapter 165.25) referred only to "Non-
conformance with the provisions in Chapter 115 regarding parking and storage of large vehicles in
residential zones" (Exhibit D). However, there were two sections (Chapter 115.105 and 115.145) in
Chapter 115 that governed parking and storage of large vehicles in residential zones (Exhibit D).
When the code was codified, Chapter 165.25 became Section 22-330, Chapter 115.105 became
Section 22-1111, and Chapter 115.145 became Section 22-1176 et al. However, Section 22-330 now
only references Section 22-1111 et seq. (Exhibit E). We are, therefore, proposing to add a reference
to FWCC Section 22-1176 et seq. in FWCC Section 22-330(8) (refer to Exhibit F).
In regards to the above, the City is aware of one home occupation with an associated commercial
vehicle in a residentially zoned area. With the passage of these amendments as presently written, this
vehicle, which is approximately 20,000 lbs GVWR, could no longer be parked legally on that lot.
This lot is 15,480 square feet and is located in a Single-Family Residential (RS 7.2) zone.

IV.
REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
FWCC Chapter 22, "Zoning," Article IX, "Process VI Review," establishes a process and criteria for
zoning code text amendments. Consistent with Process VI review, the role of the Planning Commission
is as follows:
I. To review and evaluate the zoning code text regarding any proposed amendments.
2. To determine whether the proposed zoning code text amendment meets the criteria
provided by FWCC Section 22-528.
3. To forward a recommendation to City Council regarding adoption of the proposed zoning
code text amendment.
V.
DECISIONAL CRITERIA
FWCC Section 22-528 provides criteria for zoning text amendments. The following section analyzes
the compliance of the proposed zoning text amendments with the criteria provided by FWCC Section
22-528. The City may amend the text of the FWCC only if it finds that:
1.
The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan.
There is no specific language in the comprehensive plan that addresses the desire to prohibit
commercial vehicles from lots in residentially zoned neighborhoods. However, one of the land
use concepts found in the comprehensive plan (page II-I) is the, "Preservation and enhancement
of existing residential neighborhoods." The proposed FWCC text amendments are consistent
with this concept.
2.
The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or welfare.
The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, and welfare
because allowing large commercial vehicles to park or be stored on lots other than those in
Suburban Estates and Single-Family Residential (RS 35.0) zones may block sight distance, thus
contributing to traffic-related accidents.
3.
The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the City.
The proposed FWCC text amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the City because
allowing large commercial vehicles on lots other than those in Suburban Estates and Single-
Family Residential (RS 35.0) zones my detract from the neighborhood character.
VI.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Consistent with the provisions of FWCC Section 22-539, the Planning Commission may take the
following actions regarding the proposed zoning code text amendments:

Public Testimony was opened.
EXHI6!-T__- ~
PAGE_2.
1 ;-- _I
Marie Scicqua - She has worked with Mr. Nordby since July on this issue and feels it has been a
long journey. She supports the amendment. She has an ongoing issue with a neighbor parking a
commercial vehicle. She feels the City needs to look out for the needs of the homeowners and
feels this amendment will do that.
Jean Atwell- She lives in a neighborhood with very narrow streets and it can be dangerous to
have commercial vehicles drive them. She commented that without this amendment, there is no
way to deal with the person who wakes them with his loud vehicle. She also commented that
having to come back to the Planning Commission has made this a long process.
John Leskovar - He stated that he found it difficult to find information about this meeting. He
commented that he is slowly developing his land and has purchased a backhoe for that.purpose.
He fears that he would have to sell his backhoe if this proposal goes through. He asked why
should a backhoe be restricted if he has a plan for the use of it and city penn its for the
development? He has a good-sized property, so the backhoe is not readily visible to the
neighbors. At the very least, he would like to see a grandfather clause to exempt him.
Bob Rawlings - He spoke in opposition of the amendment, one reason is because the requested
change was not brought forth by a citizen, but by City staff. He is concerned with the size
limitation of recreational vehicles. He feels the size limit should not be increased. Mr. Nordby
had commented that this amendment would decrease his workload. Mr. Rawlings understood
that to mean that part of the reasoning for this code amendment was to decrease the Code
Compliance workload. He askcd how one person could be expected to do it all, but relaxing the
codes is not the answer.
Scott Chase - He spoke in opposition of the amendment, because of the increase in the size of
recreational vehicles. He does support the proposal in regards to commercial vehicles. He feels
that the common voice is that we do not want oversized vehicles in our neighborhoods. He stated
that other cities have screening requirements, such as not intruding into public spaces and limits
on the number of vehicles that can be parked overnight. In regards to the backhoe, Federal Way
has some lots that are larger and more rural than others. Because of th is, there is the potential for
different regulations based on lot size. He commented that a problem with allowing large
vehicles using Process III is that there is no requirement for adjacent property owner input.
Larger vehicles should be screened and where larger vehicles are allowed on the property, they
should be regulated; allowed in rear and sides, but not the front. In summary, he would like a
limit to the numbcr of veh icles allowed and no increase to the size of recreational vehicles. By
taking into consideration the regulations of other cities and our needs and interest, we can arrive
at the best of all worlds.
Richard Fiegel- He is opposed to the increase in recreational vehicle size. He feels storage
should be allowed on the side and rear yards. He would also like to see a limit on the number of
vehicles allowed. He is concerned that allowing even temporary storage of recreational vehicles
in driveways will push cars into the street, which could be a safety problem.
Lawson Bronson, Alternate Planning Commissioner - He objected to the comment staff made
earlier that all who testified where invited to the meeting spoke of in the staff report. He had
testified, but was not invited to the meeting. He feels that if reneational vehicles are going to be
restricted, the size of the lot should be taken into consideration. He stated that he doesn't think

size of vehicles is increasing. A fcw ycars ago, if this code amendment had been considered, it
probably would have restricted SUVs bccause of their size. The City needs to keep in mind what
changes could occur within the ncxt five to ten years, and draft the amendment with possible
changes in mind. This proposal should not bc looked upon as a means of restricting poorly
maintained vehicles.
Commissioncr Duclos suggested the Commission consider this proposal as two different code
amendments, one for commercial vehicles and the other for recreational vehicles. Other Commissioners
agreed. She asked what the cost is for a Process III? Staff replied that it would be over $2000. Ms. Clark
clarified that Process III does require that adjacent property owners be notified. Commissioner Duclos fclt
the cost is excessive to simply seek permission to keep a backhoe. Commission Elder commented that a
Process III review is used for many different types of projects.
Ms. Clark commented that the staff would like some direction on how to proceed with this code
amendment. The Commission would like staff to research an easier, and less expensive, exemption
process; consider different requirements for different lot sizes; explain why increase the size for
recreational vehicles; consider splitting the amendment into two, one for commercial and the other for
recreational vehicles; consider allowing larger commercial vehicles where there is a use for it, room for it,
and no complaints from neighbors; consider an intervening step (before Process III) with performance
standards to allow larger commercial vehicles; limit to one commercial vehicle, even if they are just pick-
ups; justify why 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight when many of the researched cities use 12,000; and
prepare a matrix showing zoning and lot sizes.
It was m/slc to continues the public hearing to November 19,2003.

Scoll Chase - He is glad to hear discussion of breaking the ~~E;two-separatè pro,m!"ãls.
He feels it is important to regard the vehicle in relation to the property line, regardless if it is
commercial or an RV. He believes RVs shouldn't be stored in driveways. He also believes
vehicles should not be stored in required yard setbacks. He strongly feels the size of R Y s should
not be increased; property sizes are not getting larger. He commented that there is nothing in the
current code that size does not include the hitch and since R V s are already measured with the
hitch, there is no reason to increase the size to include the hitch. It would look better to have RYs
parked perpendicular to the street. He pointed out to the Commission that the vehicle on page 12
that is under 10,000 GYWR is quite tall. In summary, the Commission should consider the number
of large vehicles allowed, placement perpendicular to the street, whether the hitch is included, size
and weight of the vehicle, screening, lot size, and no parking in setbacks.
Richard Keltner - If the City were to do all that has been suggested by the previous speakers, why
would anyone move to Federal Way with a boat and travel trailer? If a person's driveway is 24 feet
and the vehicle does not overhang the sidewalk or right-of-way, why not allow it?
Lawson Bronson, Alternate Planning Commissioner - He is a member of the American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) and said he could research if they have a standard for measuring
vehicles and would send Mr. Nordby the information. He feels the staff report and what has been
said tonight does not address the backhoe issue raised at the last Planning Commission meeting. It
is allowed as long as he has a building permit, but since he is doing the work himself, it could take
longer then the 12 months allowed by a building permit and it would be very expensive for him to
get a new permit every 12 months. He also commented that many who have larger property would
not want to have a fence or hedge to screen a large vehicle they park on their property.
Commissioner Elder commented that we must be careful not to create excessive legislation. While she
agrees commercial vehicles in residential neighborhoods should be regulated, as long as an R V fits in a
driveway or garage and is not a safety concern, it should not be regulated. Commissioner Drake
commented that the Commission should keep in mind that what is appropriate in one neighborhood is not
necessarily appropriate for the whole City. Commissioner Grant discussed the backhoe issue and suggested
that an exemption be made to allow such vehicles on larger lots as long as they are not visible.
It was moved to adopt the staff recommendation only for commercial vehicles; the motion died for the lack
of a second. It was m/s/failed to raise the GVWR to 12,000. The Commission agreed that recreational
vehicles should not be regulated. It was moved, but died for the lack of a second, to send the proposed
amendments to the City Council with no recommendation. It was moved/seconded to send forward the
commercial vehicle portion of the proposed amendments to the City Council with a recommendation to
adopt. It was m/s/c to amend the motion to place a limit of only one commercial vehicle allowed. The vote
for the motion as amended was three yes, two no. According to the Planning Commission'~ Rules of
Procedure, a motion must have a majority of the entire Commission (which is four) to be carried. The
motion failed.
After further discussion, the Commission decided that 12,000 G VWR was acceptable. They discussed the
staff's proposal to allow one commercial vehicle on lots over 15,000 square feet as long as it is screened,
which would include the Suburban Estates (SE), Single-Family Residential (RS) 35.0, and RS 15.0 zones.
The Commission agreed that screening should not be required.
It was m/s/failed to continue the public hearing to December 10, 2003, at the 320th Street library.
The Commission agreed that recreational vehicles should be separated from the commercial vehicles and
be discussed at a later date (maybe January). They agreed there should only be onc commercial vehiclc per

lot and SE and RS 35 should be exempt. Screening should not be required and parking in the driveway is
acceptable. Measuring height can be an issue and it was recommended that the height limit be removed. It
was m/5/c to adopt regulations for commercial vehicles with a limit of 12,000 GYWR, one vehicle per lot,
can be parked in the driveway, and SE and RS 35 zones be exempt. The Commission feels that ifmore
people were aware that regulations for recreational vehicles are being considered, more citizens would
attend the meeting. The Commission would like the staff to do more advertising for the meeting when
recreational vehicle regulations are discussed. Commission Elder offered to send the newspaper a let1er on
this issue when the meeting date is decided.
It was m/5/c to continue the public hearing to December 10,2003, at the 320111 Street Library to finalize the
commercial vehicle code amendment, which will be written in line with the previous motion.

COMMISSION BUSINESS
PUBLIC HEARING - Oversized Vehicle Croe Amendment
Mr, Nordby delivered the staff repoti. He remarked that these amendments do not apply to recreational
vehicles, which will be dealt with at a later date. It was noted that neighborhood covenants supercede the
. Federal Wczv City Code. He commented that per RCW 46.25.0 I 0, "Gross Vehicle Weight Rating"
(GVWR) means the value specified by the manufacturer as the maximum loaded weight of a single or a
combination or articulated vehicle, or the registered gross weight, where this value cannot be determined.
The GVWR of a combination or atiiculated vehicle, commonly referred to as the "gross combined weight
rating" or GCWR, is the GVWR of the power unit plus the GVWR of the towed unit or units. The meeting
was opened to public testimony.
E/ben Field - Hc commented that his concern isn't commercial vehicles, but irresponsible drivers.
Some people need to be able to bring their commercial vehicle home because they are on-call.
John Leskover - He has a backhoe on a SR 15 lot. He uses it for developing his property. He is
concerned that under the proposed amendments, his backhoe would be restricted. It is listed as a
commercial vehicle in the proposed definition in Exhibit C. He docsn't understand why it would

e c ass! Ie commercIa sll1ce le IS on y usll1g It on liS properfy,'an not lor commercIa
purposes. He would like to see construction vehicles removed from the proposed definition for
commercial vehiclcs. He noted that while the backhoe is not large it is very heavy, and it would
not be suitable to park it in his driveway.
SIeve Dice - He is concerned with the livability of neighborhoods. He opposes the 12,000
GYWR limit, but would support the 10,000 GVWR.
Sue Ellebrechl - She commented that a neighbor has a large commercial panel truck that they
often park in their driveway. However, sometimes they park it in the street and that causes safety
problems. She has come close to an accident because of maneuvering around the truck. Larger
vehicles are a driving hazard.
Scott Chase - He commented that at the last meeting staff showed pictures of vehicles and he
saw many tow trucks that would fall under a 12,000 GYWR limit. This is unacceptable. He
commented that a neighbor said he was unable to sleep due to the activity of a tow truck in their
neighborhood. He opposes the 12,000 GYWR limit but would support a 10,000 GYWR limit.
Mi/œ Bochantin - He opposes the 12,000 GYWR limit because it would allow tow trucks and
they cause too much disruption.
Bob Rawlins - He commented that he read the newspaper article on this issue and asked if the
Commission had considered the effect these heavy vehicles have on the roads? If vehicles of
12,000 GYWR are allowed, what kind of damage might that do to the roads?
Jean Atwell- She supports the 10,000 GYWR limit. She wants commercial vehicles out of
neighborhoods. It is difficult to get by large vehicles with the narrow streets found in
neighborhoods.
Richard Fiegel- He is against the increase in weight. Commercial vehicles and residential areas
do not mix.
Lawson Bronson, Alternate Planning Commissioner ~ He commented that these amendments
deal only with parking commercial vehicles on private property. The police regulate parking on .
the street.
Marie Sciacqua - She lives next door to someone who brings their tow truck home and it causes
numerous problems. She feels the traffic codes need to be changed as well, in order to
effectively deal with commercial vehicles being parked in neighborhoods.
Alison Wood - She owns a backhoe that she keeps in her backyard. She has not received any
complaints from her neighbors. She fears she would have to get rid of her backhoe if these
amendments are adopted. She asked what about City vehicles when employees take them home
at night?
Wally Aikala - He commented that a neighbor parks semi's in their neighborhood and he is
concerned that is devaluing the neighborhood.
Randy Bean - He supports the 10,000 GYWR limit, but opposes the 12,000 GYWR limit. He
commented that he has worked at the Flying J Truck Stop and noted there is a clear transition to
commercial at 12,000 GYWR.

Rich Keltner - He supports the 10,000 GVWR limit.
Chair Caulficld rcad into the record six emails from John W. (Bill) and Barbara Ellis, Pat
Simmons, Darcn Burgess, Robert Dixson, Eline and Erling Herredsvela, and Delfa J and Terry
Quinn, all of which oppose the 12,000 GVWR limit.
Public testimony was closed at 7:40. Discussion was held on the backhoe issue. It was suggested that they
be grandfathered. It was suggested that since the intent of the amendments seems to be to regulate
commercial vehicles that are used commercially, we should allow vehicles that are to be used for
improvement of the property. It was suggested that a separate definition for commercial equipment be
written. Concern was expressed that if we allow commercial equipment on property for improvement of
that property, someone will bring in a large piece of equipment because "some day" they plan to improve
the property, and that "some day" may be years in coming.
Chair Caulfield commented that he would abstain from voting on this issue because he missed two
meetings. It was m/s/c (one abstain, one no, four yes) to amend the proposed amendments to 10,000
GVWR to fit with the residents' needs. It was m/dc (one abstain, five yes) to allow large equipment for
personal use as long as it is specific to the property and fits within the current dimensions of not more than
nine feet in height and not more than 22 feet in length. It was m/s/c (one abstain, five yes) to recommend
adoption of the proposed text amendments as amended.
The proposed amendments will now go the City Council's Land/Use Transportation Committee (LUTC)
and then to the full Council. We will send notices to Pal1ies of Record of these meetings. The recreational
vehicles code amendments will probably be dealt with in the spring. The public hearing was closed.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
None.
AUDIENCE COMMENT
Scott Chase - He commented that currently in his neighborhood, no one has a backhoe, but he is
concerned that with this amendment they could have a backhoe in every driveway. He asked that
language concerning screening be included. They should not be allowed to park in front of houses.
John Leskovar - He commented that we need to have these changes so that those who "do-it-
yourself" can proceed.

John Caufield
Chairman, Planning Commission
City of Federal Way
Dear Mr. Caufield,
I am writing to express my opinion concerning the future of the Oversized Vehicle
Ordinance which I understand is being reviewed and updated. Unfortunately, I
won't be in town when the next public hearing takes place.
I am currently a member of the Marine Hills Architectural Control Committee. The
Committee represents the interest of more than 500 residents of Federal Way.
While I don't have a mandate from our community, I feel that my experience with
negotiating dispute settlements has given me a pretty good insight into the
general feelings of the majority of the residents of Marine Hills. I feel that the best
course of action for the Planning Commission is to take whatever steps are
necessary to increase the restrictions on the parking of oversized commercial or
private vehicles on streets or in driveways in residential neighborhoods.
Additionally, I feel that it should be a violation of the Ordinance to park (for an
extended period) any trailer on the street, in the driveway, or beyond the front
line of a home. A fence should also conceal vehicles parked alongside a home.
Parking vehicles in front of homes causes an immediate eyesore, diminishes the
overall appearance of the neighborhood and has the effect of reducing property
values for all those who strive to maintain attractive homes and yards. The
members of the Marine Hills Architectural Control Committee attempt to enforce
the many covenants which cover the numerous plats within our neighborhood.
However, a strong ordinance of this type combined with responsive enforcement
would be invaluable to us as we work to maintain the pristine appearance our
neighborhood.
Thank you for any consideration you can give this request.
Sincerely,
Richard D. Bunn

Hi. Your name and email address was given to me by Scott Chase.
We live in the West Campus area and Scott has informed us of a meeting at the library on wednesday evening,
December 10 to discuss the weight limits of vehicles allowed in neighborhoods.
we will be unable to attend this meeting to to a prior committment made a month ago. We would like to voice our
opinion on this matter. Is that possible to do by email?
If so, we oppose the proposed 12,OOOlb weight limit, but would support a 10,OOOlb limit.
Please let us know if this email will count towards this meeting.

I received an email indicating that the Federal Way Planning Commission was going to vote tonight to raise the
size limit on vehicles in residential areas. I am opposed to this change as it will allow residential areas to become
parking lots for businesses. Increased traffic and the possibility of late night traffic are not the kind of
developments we need for the property values and quality of life.
Please recommend a NO vote on this proposed change.
Thank you.

BACKGROUND:
Five bids were received and opened on December 18, 2003 at 10: 10 a.m. for the 14th Avenue Sand S 312th
Street Traffic Signal and Intersection Improvement project (See bid data below). The apparent lowest
responsive, responsible bidder is Signal Electric with a total bid of $136,197.30. The low bid received was $56.20
below the engineer's estimate. This appears to be a favorable and competitive time to bid "signal" type of public
works projects since five bids were received.
The bids were as follows:
Totem Electric
Potelco, Inc.
TransTech Electric
M.T. Electric
Signal Electric, Inc.

Although the five bids received were competitive and within the range of the engineer's estimate, the project is
$19,924.77 over budget. However, as outlined in the November 17, 2003 LUTC memo there are funds available
in the completed 8th Avenue South and South 31th Street Signal Project.
Staff has worked with Signal Electric on several signal and lighting projects. City staff indicates that the
contractor is qualified to complete the work detailed in the RFB. As a result, City staff believes Signal Electric can
successfully execute the requirements of this contract to the City's satisfaction. Therefore the lowest responsive,
responsible bidder is Signal Electric in the amount of $136,197.30.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends placing the following items on the February 3, 2004 Council consent agenda for approval:
1. Award the 14111 Avenue 5 and S 31ill Street Traffic Signal and Intersection Improvement Project to
Signal Electric, the lowest responsive, responsible bidder in the amount of $136,197.30 and approve a
10% construction contingency of $13,619.73 for a total of $149,817.03.
2. Authorize transferring $19,924.77 from the 8111 Avenue South and South 31i" Street Project into the 14th
Avenue South and South 31ih Street Project.
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the contract.

SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND:
As a part of the Transit Center/Parking Garage Project on South 316th Street and 23rd Avenue South,
Sound Transit is proposing to install street furniture including stamped concrete sidewalk, trellis footings,

installation and addresses responsibilities for maintenance of the amenities by Sound Transit. Also, a
plan showing the landscaping, sidewalk scoring, benches and street light banners is attached. Staff will
be present at the January 12, 2004 LUTC meeting to present the agreement and answer questions.

SUBJECT:
Proposed Agreement between the City and Puget Sound Regional Transit
Authority pertaining to future Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
opportunities on Transit Center site.
I.
BACKGROUND
The attached proposed Agreement has been prepared by City staff, in conjunction
with Sound Transit, in order to provide opportunities for future "transit oriented
development" (TOD) on the transit center site, and within certain timeframes
related to occupancy of the completed transit center.
The Agreement was contemplated in a previously approved Agreement between
the parties 1 (A G #01-99, attached, along with the legislative record approving the
agreement), wherein Sound Transit voluntarily agreed (among other things) to
design the transit center project and work cooperatively with the City to allow
future TOD opportunities on the site, consistent with applicable policies and
regulations of Sound Transit, the Federal Transit Administration, and the City of
Federal Way.
lThe July 9,2001 Agreement between the City and Sound Transit (AG #01-99, attached) established the intent of the
Parties to provide future TOO opportunities on the site. In addition it addressed on and off-site transportation
improvements, stormwater management, project design, and mitigation of project impacts related to the transit center
project.
3)
The proposed Agreement establishes a process to obtain a TOD developer(s);
clarifies the responsibilities of the Parties in this effort; and provides
contingencies in the event a developer(s) is not found or a project is not initiated
within certain timeframes. The Agreement also addresses TOD-related
landscaping and pedestrian amenities.
The overall transit center project site includes approximately 6.9 acres. Two
separate areas within the overall site have been set asíde for future transit oriented --
development (TOD). These areas are identified and delineated in the Agreement
and also reflected in the transit center building pennit, currently under review by
City staff. These include an approximate 30,800 square foot (SF) area, described
in the Agreement as the "East TOD Property", and an approximate 21,700 SF
area described as the "West TOD Property." Collectively the two areas are
referred to in the Agreement as "the TOD Properties."
II.
KEY POINTS IN AGREEMENT
1)
Definition of TOD
A definition of "transit oriented development" (TOD) is provided in the
Agreement and TOD proposals will be reviewed for consistency. The definition
allows for a variety of uses, such as retail, office, service, residential, and other
code-pennitted uses that create an "active, functional and aesthetic pedestrian
streetscape for purposes of separating the design and function of a parking
structure from the public right-of-way and pedestrian areas," and may support
transit center patrons and/or the larger City Center consumer base.
2)
rOD Development Opportunities
a. The Agreement provides that Sound Transit will utilize it's best efforts, in
consultation with the City, to obtain a qualified developer(s) who agrees to
develop the TOD Properties within five (years) of occupancy.
b. If Sound Transit's good faith efforts are not successful, Sound Transit will
issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) at least twelve (12) months prior to
anticipated occupancy of the transit center, at it's sole expense and in
consultation with City; and the City may manage the RFP upon request to
Sound Transit.
Conveyance ofTOD Properties to City
a. If a TOD developer(s) is not found within eighteen (18 months) of
occupancy, or a developer is on board but construction has not commenced
within five years of occupancy, Sound Transit will convey the "West TOD
Property" to the City, and the City may exercise an option to purchase the
"East TOO Property." Sound Transit will retain permanent utility, access, and
signage easements over, across, and through properties conveyed to the City,
and/or purchased by City, and the purchase price for the east TOD is
established as Sound Transit's original purchase price less the value of the
easements. No conveyance shall be required prior to eighteen (18) months
after occupancy.
4)
Landscaping of TOD Properties
Exhibit "A" to the Agreement describes the landscaping that must be provided on
the TOD Properties concurrent with occupancy of the transit center/parking
structure. This can be considered "interim" landscaping of the TOD Properties,
pending their future development. The intent of the interim landscaping is to
maintain project aesthetics and site safety by providing visual relief while
maintaining clear sight lines across the site. Exhibit "B" describes the
"permanent" landscaping and pedestrian amenities which must ultimately be
provided within the TOD Properties concurrent with TOD development or, absent
such development, it shall be installed by Sound Transit no later than five years
after occupancy, plus three months to allow for submittal and review of the
landscape plan. The permanent landscaping will provide additional trees, shrubs,
and pedestrian amenities.
III.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
As noted àbove, the proposed TOO Agreement is consistent with the policies and
regulations of Sound Transit, the Federal Transit Administration, and the City of
Federal Way. In particular, the Agreement will promote a number of Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) goals and policies for future urban-scale
development and densities in the City Center. The TOD Agreement was also
contemplated in a previous 200 1 Agreement between the parties (AG #01-99,
attached) and in the City's recent approval of the Federal Way Transit Center.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Agreement to provide for
future TOO opportunities on the Transit Center site.

Project Landscape Standards
INTRODUCTION
The Project is located at the southwest comer of South 316th Street and 23Td Avenue
South, and is approximately 6.9 acres in size. The Project will include up to 14 bus bays, H
up to 1,200 stalls, bus layover areas, passenger boarding areas, operator restrooms and
public restrooms, street improvements, and public art.
DESIGN INTENT
Context-sensitive landscaping is used throughout the project. Planting beds and landscape
planters appropriate to screen facades and to delineate and enhance pedestrian areas are
used around the foundation of the garage, sidewalks, plazas, and transit center areas,
while an "open area" planting scheme is used in future TOD Property.
PEDESTRIAN SCALE LANDSCAPING
The sidewalks and plazas surrounding and adjacent to the Project combine to provide a
linear theme of movement throughout the Project. Sidewalks along the east-west and
north-south axes of the Project and along South 316th Street are delineated by distinct
paving and scoring, and connect to plazas containing seating, scored and colored
concrete, lighting, trash receptacles, bicycle racks, public art elements, and plantings.
These features combine to create an organized, safe, and attractive sequence of pedestrian
linkages and amenities throughout the Project. Sidewalks and plazas will be accented
with pedestrian-scale landscaping typical to urban pedestrian areas, including
architectural landscape planters, and structured, ornamental trees and shrubs that preserve
sight lines into pedestrian areas.
FACADE SCREENING
Planting areas on the east and west facades of the parking structure are designed to meet
Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Sec. 22-1565(c), Type III "visual buffer" landscape
requirements, and include a variety of evergreen and deciduous trees interspersed with
large shrubs and groundcover sufficient to soften the appearance of building elevations.
FUTURE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES
The landscaping design for the TOD Properties is intended to be passive in character.
Interim landscaping in the TaD Properties will provide visual relief and shading while
maintaining clear sight lines across the site. Sod will be provided throughout the TaD
Propeliies and will be punctuated by deciduous trees at one tree per 3,500 square feet (a
total of 15 trees) to create a passive, yet enjoyable, experience for both transit patrons and
pedestrians. The interim landscaping will not be pennanently irrigated; instead, Sound
Transit will utilize temporary irrigation methods to properly maintain the sod and trees.

TOD Properties Landscape Standards
FUTURE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES
The TOD Properties will be designed to meet the City's "Open Area" landscapingp
requirements and provide an interim, infonnal "park like" setting for the use and
enjoyment of transit center patrons and the public. Landscaping in the TOD Properties
will provide visual relief and shading while maintaining clear sight lines across the site.
The TOD Properties shall provide full expanses of lawn punctuated with plantings with
no unfinished areas. The East TOD Property shall include a total of 20 trees (including 9
previously installed) surrounded by compact shrubs, and pedestrian amenities including
two benches placed at appropriate locations in relationship to other site improvements
and with pedestrian linkage between benches and adjacent pedestrian areas. The West
TaD Property shall include 10 trees (including 6 previously installed) surrounded by
compact shrubs. All lawn areas will be irrigated, but xeriscape techniques are encouraged
and trees and shrubs may be grouped to minimize irrigation while maintaining the
landscape intent.

VIA:
Background
At the February 21st Land Use and TransportationCommitteemeeting,Public Work's staff presented
a draft of the proposed agreement between Sound Transit and the City for the development of a
Transit Center, Parking Structure, and freeway access improvements. The draft agreement was
presented with the understanding that the agreement may be subject to change pending final review
by Sound Transit and that any revisions to the agreement would be presented to the full City
Council. Since the February 21,2001 LUTC meeting, Public Works and legal staff have completed
the final negotiations and review process with Sound Transit staff and have attached the final draft of
the proposed agreement for the City Council's consideration.
Summary of ChangesIRevisions
The following is intended as a summary of the most significant changes and/or revisions to the draft
agreement that have occurred between the February 21, 2001 LUTC meeting and final draft of the
proposed agreement included in the City Council agenda package for the March 20th City Council
meeting.
The final draft of the proposed agreement has been revised in several areas with respect to protecting
Sound Transit in the event they need to condemn any of the necessary properties to facilitate their
proposed project. These revisions include deleting references to assumptions for forty dwelling units
in the proposed project and softening language concerning preservation of space within the project
site for a future transit oriented development.
The balance of the revisions will be highlighted by page number, agreement section, and title.
Page 4, Section 1.1.3, Feasibility Analysis - subsection (A) was added to require Sound
Transit to design the parking structure and/or TOO to include ground-level retail consistent
with City Code.
(
.
Page 4, Section 1.2, Environmental Review - a new paragraph was added that consolidated
portions of the previous Section 2.2 Environmental Review and provided clarification to
what the City's roles and responsibilities are with respect to the Environmental Review ofthe
Sound Transit project and what the City's remedies are under WAC 197- I 1-600 if the City is
not satisfied with Sound Transit's Environmental Assessment.
Page 5, Section 1.3, Design and Review Process - additional language was added to
subsection (C). to provide clarification on the City's responsibilities if the parties agree to
pursue the redesign of the parking structure to accommodate a building above the parking
structure.
.
.
Page 6, Section 1.4, Cost Responsibility - subsection (B)was revised by deleting reference
to the City's Transportation Improvement Program and inserting an Exhibit "A" that lists the
City's Transportation Improvement projects impacted by Sound Transit's proposed project.
Page 8, Section III, Legal Relations - this section was added and a mutual indemnification
was granted to both parties.
.
Conclusion
In summary, the majority of the draft agreement presented to the Land Use and Transportation
Committee remained in tact and the revisions that were made primarily provided clarification or
direction.

Lakota We'tland \egiOnal Pond Improvements Project - 85% Design Approval
VIA:
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND:
This project consists of increasing the stormwater storage of the Lakota Wetland by constructing a
continuous berm adjacent to the pond and installing a new outlet control structure. The berm will
be located on the north side of the wetland and on the south edge of Lakota Park. It will measure
approximately 1,300 feet long, six feet wide and three feet high.
The King County Conservation Futures Grant of $194,000 has been secured for purchasing the two
privately owned parcels that will be affected by the project. The grant requires a one to one match
from City funds towards the purchase of the properties.
Surface Water Management is working on appraising the two parcels. A first appraisal has been
received but due to the significantly lower value from the assessed value, a second independent
appraisal is being pursued. For budget purposes, a value of $265,000 was used as the estimated value
of the parcels.
Land Use and Transportation Committee approved the 50% design stage on October 20, 2003.
Currently, the project design is approximately 85% complete. The following provides a brief synopsis
of the progress to date:
.
Survey and Base Drawing Development
Hydrological and Hydraulic Analysis
Geotechnical Analysis
Wetland Impact Analysis and SEPA Submittal
Environmental Site Assessment
Project Design Engineering and PS&E to 85%
SEPA and Project Permitting

East Branch Lakota Creek Restoration - 30% Design Status Report
VIA:
BACKGROUND
This project restores approximately 2,625 lineal feet of the East Branch Lakota Creek from the mouth of the
creek upstream to SR 509 at Lakota Park, the upstream limit. Also included is an approximately 500-foot
long right bank tributary that is unnamed tributary, but hereafter referred to as the North Tributary. Several
fish passage impediments will be eliminated, unnecessary structures removed (non-functioning culverts, a
metal tank, abandoned motorcycle and car parts), selected stream banks stabilized, and fish habitat
structures added. In addition, stormwater flows will be tight lined from the upper end of the North
Tributary to the East Branch to reduce channel erosion in the North Tributary and reduce sediment input to
the East Branch.
Currently, the project design is approximately 30% complete, which includes the following completed tasks:
The Topographical Survey and Mapping
Hydrological and Hydraulic Analysis
Stream Geomorphology Assessment
Fish Use, Passage, and Habitat Assessment
Preliminary Wetland Analysis

Memorandum of Agreement for Marine Shoreline Inventory
VIA:
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND:
The City of Federal Way is a partner in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watersheds (WRIA 9)
Forum. The mission of the Forum is to develop a salmon habitat plan that will guide local jurisdictions in
protecting and restoring salmon habitat within the watershed. The watershed includes the northern part of
the City of Federal Way.
The salmon habitat plan is currently being developed. However, some parts of the habitat plan require
additional scientific and technical study before policy recommendations can be developed. One such
technical study is basic mapping of the marine shoreline. Currently no comprehensive mapping of the
marine shoreline that identifies various marine shoreline features such as elevation, substrate, vegetation,
marine water energy, sediment transport, and anthropogenic structures exists. In October, the City Council
approved a maximum of $6,000 from the Surface Water Management budget to acquire bathymetry
mapping of the marine shoreline. Bathymetry provides land elevations under water to a depth of 30 feet.
The mapping is currently underway.
Understanding these shoreline characteristics along with the bathymetry data will aid in identifying existing
salmon habitat areas for migration and refuge as well as identifying areas in need of restoration. As the
main channel of movement for salmon, the shoreline environment is a critical piece of the salmon habitat
restoration planning effort. Salmon use the shoreline to grow and migrate out to the Pacific Ocean. Salmon
using the Federal Way shoreline likely come from Hylebos and Joe's Creek, South Puget Sound rivers such
as the Nisqually and Puyallup, as well as salmon from northern areas that migrate south in order to find
refuge and food.
The Watershed Forum is working to fill these data gaps to ensure the most accurate information is used in
assembling the salmon habitat plan. In addition, such data will assist local jurisdictions, including Federal
Way, in meeting recently updated requirements of the Shoreline Master Program. Such mapping efforts will
provide a basic inventory of the shoreline upon which the City can update its land use planning efforts for
the marine shoreline. Updates to the City of Federal Way's Shoreline Master Program are required by 2009.
One specific mapping effort being addressed by the Watershed Forum is to map shoreline characteristics to
better understand salmon habitat in the marine environment. Habitat characteristics include substrate,
vegetation, woody debris, marshes, freshwater inputs, and human-made structures. This information will be
combined with existing shoreline information to establish an inventory of current conditions of the marine
shoreline.
The marine shoreline inventory is being coordinated by the City of Seattle. The final product of the inventory
will be geographic information system data layers and a final report. The electronic habitat layers will be
available for all jurisdictions in the watershed for use in salmon habitat planning as well as shoreline master
planning and other comprehensive planning efforts. The expected completion date is February 26, 2004.
Attached is a scope of work (Attachment A) for the mapping effort that outlines the specific mapping
activities and work products.
To support the marine shoreline inventory of WRIA 9, the King Conservation District has granted funds to
the City of Seattle to conduct mapping within King County. Since the City of Federal Way is not a member of
the district, the City is being asked to contribute directly to the costs of the shoreline inventory in order to
complete the mapping of the entire watershed. In addition, staff has requested the mapping effort include
Federal Way shoreline outside the WRIA 9 boundary so that the entire city will be completed. Attached is a
draft Memorandum of Agreement between the City of Federal Way and the City of Seattle Council
consideration.
The estimated cost of shoreline inventory for the entire shoreline within the City of Federal Way is $4,144.
The Watershed Forum will contribute $64,356 for a total of $68,500. Therefore, the City of Federal Way
would be contributing 6% of the total shoreline inventory effort in King County. The City of Federal Way
will also pay the City of Seattle $500 in project management costs. An additional $2,000 has been included
as a reserve fund in the event additional costs are incurred. The City of Federal Way retains release of any
management reserve funds. Therefore, the total maximum cost to the City of Federal Way is $6,644.
FUNDING AVAILABLE
The project will be funded through a previously approved budget allocation for shoreline inventory mapping
in the Community Development Department's budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests the Committee place the following recommendation on the February 3, 2004 City Council
Consent Agenda:
1. Approve a Memorandum of Agreement with the City of Seattle to conduct a marine shoreline
inventory within the City of Federal Way.

Marine Shoreline Inventory of the City Of Seattle and Water Resource Inventory Area 9
PHASE I
Location of Work
This survey will cover the marine shoreline, includIng the supratIdal (above mean higher high water),
intertidal (between mean lower low water and mean higher high water), and a portion of the subtidal (below
mean lower low water) zones- The study area will include the shoreline of Puget Sound from the nOl1h end
of the City of Seattle to the south end of the City of Federal Way, the shoreline of Yashon Island and the
shoreline of Maury Island. Data will be provided separately for the following two areas:
I) City of Seattle marine shoreline, from the north to south city limits, including the marine side of the
Hiram M. Chittenden Locks (Figure I). Limited information will be collected in Elliott Bay, from Pier
70 to Terminal 5.
2) Water Resource Inventory Area 9 (WRIA 9), includIng the marine shorelines of King County and
Vashon and Maury islands and including the entire shoreline of the City of Federal Way (Figure 2).
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to map physical, biological, and anthropogenic marine shoreline conditions.
This inventory will examine substrate, marine riparian vegetation, fringe marsh, marine water energy,
sediment transport, bank armoring, overwater structures, boat ramps, marinas, and habitat enhancement
project sites using a combinatIOn of existing data sources and field surveys. The final products will be GIS
layers for the habitat attributes examined for the City of Seattle and for the entire area of WRIA 9. This
project has been divided into two phases. In Phase I existing data sources will be assessed and an approach
to conduct the inventory work will be developed, as described in this scope. In Phase 2 the inventory work
will be conducted, producing GIS layers and a project report. Phase 2 scoping and budget will be based on
the findings of Phase 1.
This effort will support a series of activities, including salmonid habitat preservation and restoration
projects, regional salmon conservation and recovery plans, monitoring of long-term trends in salmonid
habitat and ecosystem conditions, permitting requirements related to development projects, shoreline master
plan updates, and assessment of project impacts to nearshore habitats-
This inventory is a major part of a comprehensive marine inventory effort. This effort includes obtaining
marine shoreline bathymetry information, in partnership with the Puget Sound Nearshore Ecosystem
Restoration Project (PSNERP), and collecting marine subtidal vegetation information. Collectively, this
inventory will be useful to the City of Seattle, WRIA 9, other nearshore Jurisdictions within the survey area,
regional organizations such as PSNERP and the Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team, non-profit
organizations, and local and federal government agencies (e.g., Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife, Washington Department of Natural Resources, NOAA Fisheries, U.S- Arn1Y Corps of Engineers)-
Tasks
Task I: Compile and assess existing data sources and identify data gaps
For habitat attributes and characteristics identi fled in the Habitat Attribute Table (Attachment 1), existing

The Habitat Attribute Table (Attachment I) will be updated to lIst all data sources compiled as part of thIs
project and Identify data gaps. The table will note where there is suftìcient information to proceed with GIS
layer creation (e.g., exposure, dritì cells), where enhancement of existing data with aerial photo
lI1terpretation is possible (e.g., overwater structures), where field veritìcation/ground-truthing could provide
substantial enhancement (e.g., bank armoring), and where data augmentation with field surveys is needed
(e.g.,marlne rIparIan vegetation), as related to each habitat attribute.
In preparation for the Shorelll1e Inventory Approach Meeting (Task 2), the consultant will also use compiled
infonnation to identIfy aspects of the shoreline inventory that need to be defined, such as marine ripanan
vegetation classes and large woody debris, before photo interpretation analysis begins. The consultant will
prepare recommended definitions to use in the lI1ventory.
In preparation for the Shorelllle Inventory Approach Meeting (Task 2), the consultant will also conduct
photo IIlterpretatlon along a section of shoreline to provide the CIty of Seattle and W9TC sub-group with an
example of what can be interpreted using existing aerial and oblique photos.

PHASE 2
Location of Work
This survey will cover the marine shoreline, including the supratidal (above m,ean higher high
water), inte11idal (bctwcen mean lower low water and mean higher high water), and a portion of the
subtidal (below mean lower low water) zones. The study area will include the shoreline of Puget
Sound from the north end of the City of Seattle to the south end of the City of Federal Way, the
shoreline ofVashon and the shoreline of Maury Island. Data will be provided separately for the
following two areas:
3) City of Seattle marine shoreline, from the north to south city limits, including the marine side of
the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks (Figure I). Limited inforn1ation will be collected in Elliott Bay,
from Pier 70 to Tern1inal 5.
4) Water Resource Inventory Area 9 (WRIA 9), including the marine shorelines of King County
and Vashon and Maury islands and including the entire shoreline of the City of Federal Way
(Figure 2).
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to map physical, biological, and anthropogenic marine shoreline
conditions. This inventory will examine substrate, marine riparian vegetation, fringe marsh, marine
water energy, sediment transport, bank annoring, overwater structures, boat ramps, marinas, and
habitat enhancement project sites using a combination of existing data sources and field surveys.
The final products will be GIS layers for the habitat attributes examined for the City of Seattle and
for the entire area of WRIA 9.
This effort will support a series of activities, including salmonid habitat preservation and restoration
projects, regional salmon conservation and recovery plans, monitoring of long-tenn trends in
salmonid habitat and ecosystem conditions, pennitting requirements related to development
projects, shoreline master plan updates, and assessment of project impacts to nearshore habitats.
This inventory is a major part of a comprehensive marine inventory effort. This effort includes
obtaining marine shoreline bathymetry infonnation, in partnership with the Puget Sound Nearshore
Ecosystem Restoration Project (PSNERP), and collecting marine subtidal vegetation inforn1ation.
Collectively, this inventory will be useful to the City of Seattle, WRIA 9, other nearshore
jurisdictions within the survey area, regional organizations such as PSNERP and the Puget Sound
Water Quality Action Team, non-profit organizations, and local and federal government agencies
(e.g., Washington Department ofFish and Wildlife, Washington Department of Natural Resources,
NOAA Fisheries, U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers).
In Phase I of the project, existing data were compiled and assessed for spatial extent, resolution,
scale, quality ofinfonnation, and availability of meta data. The data compilation included gathering
orthophotos of the project area shoreline and Washington Department of Ecology aerial oblique
photographs. These imagery sources will be used in Phase 2 efforts to improve the resolution of
selected data sets through photo interpretation. A meeting with the consultant was convened in
W ^ III 10 Roste! ^gl11l1t IIROO.~4-():'\ Sllpp 111

Phase I to specifìcally identify the habitat attributes and characteristics to be mapped, the resolution
to which each will he mapped, and any applicable classification systems for those attributes. These
outcomes are detailed in Attachment 1- Final Habitat Attribute Table. The Phase 2 tasks described
below establish the steps that the consultant will take to conduct and report on the Shoreline Habitat
Inventory of the City of Seattle and WRIA 9.
Tasks
Task I: Photo-interpretation of Shoreline Habitats
Available digital orthopllOtos and Washington Department of Ecology aerial oblique
photographs will be interpreted to create or modify coverages as detailed in Attachment I (Final
Habitat Attribute Table). Intrepretatioll will generally occur within 200 feet of the water lille,
unless otherwise noted in Attachment 1. Digital ortlLOplLOtos have been obtained from the City of
Seattle, King County, City of Federal Way and the City of Burien. Additional sources, such as
through the USGS for Homeland Security purposes, will be used depending on the resolution of
the imagery and the timeliness of their arrival.
Assumptions: V' All sources to be used for photo interpretation will be provided to the consultant
within seven days of the signing of the Phase 2 work order
Task 2: Field Verification of Photo Interpretation Results
Field verification will occur during the early stages of the photo interpretation work to allow for
adjustments that may be needed. Up to four sites will be inventoried by boat to conduct a field
verification of the photo interpretation efforts. Each site will be no more than two miles in length.
Sites will be located along shoreline sections for which different orthophoto imagery was used for
photo interpretation in order to characterize the level of confidence that the source imagery allows
for interpretation of the various habitat attributes and characteristics.
Prior to conducting the field verification work, the Seattle/WRIA 9 project manager will be
consulted to discuss the methods to be implemented. The field verification work will be conducted
in a manner to avoid property access issues. A field verification plan will be provided that describes
the field methods that will be employed and the approach to interpreting field findings for quality
assurance/quality control purposes. Seattle and the WRIA 9 Technical Committee (W9TC) will
review and comment on the draft Field Verification Plan.
The results of the field verification will provided to the SeattIe/WRIA 9 project manager in a brief
report. The report will discuss the accuracy of the photo interpretation for each habitat attribute
analyzed and, for attributes with low accuracy, the reasons for that low accuracy will be identified
along with implications for using the inventory results. The consultant will modify their photo
interpretation methodologies to address attribute data with low accuracy, to the extent possible to do
so. They also will recommend furiher options to increase accuracy of attribute data (e.g., field
surveys). Seattle and the W9TC (or subgroup) will review and comment on the report.

Task 3: Production of GIS Habitat Layers and Proiect Report.
GIS layers will be created for each habitat characteristic idelltified ill Allachment I - Final Habitat
Attribute Report with the specified resolution, classifications. and categories. These GIS layers will
meet the GIS specificatiol/s (Allachl1lellt 2) of the City of Seallle and King County. and to the extcnt
possible. other WRIA 9 nearshore jurisdictions. Each layer will be accompanied by metadata for
both the existing data sources that are used and the field verification/augmentation surveys.
The GIS layers will be provided electronically to the City of Seattle, King County, and any other
WRIA 9 jurisdictions that request the infom1ation in the data fom1at specified in Attachment 2. The
draft layers will be reviewed by the City of Seattle and the W9TC and revisions will be made as
necessary. A project report will also be prepared. The report will document the inventory process for
this project and roughly conform to the following outline:
1. Survey Area (with map).
2. Table of habitat attributes and characteristics examined, resolution, and data sources used,
Attachment A- Final Habitat Attribute Table will be modified as necessary and used.
3. Photo interpretation and field verification methodologies and field verification results. The field
verification methodology section should include infom1ation on how/why verification sites were
selected, in addition to verification methods. Field verification results should discuss the
accuracy of the photo inte1l1retation for the various habitat attributes surveyed.
4. GIS products. There should be one example figure for each habitat attribute and/or
characteristic, at an appropriate scale to demonstrate the data and with the metadata listed, For
data sources that are deemed "useable" for this inventory, a list of the relevant metadata will be
recorded for each habitat attribute. Metadata for the purposes of this project include the data
source/reference, date of source, scale of source, data collection methods, processing steps, data
limitations/ restrictions and a contact name.
5, General analyses of inventory. The analyses should include:
./ Total number of lineal shoreline miles surveyed,
./ Dominant substrate type for the supratidal, intertidal, and subtidal zones, as percent of lineal
shoreline extent, based on infonnation in the WDNR ShoreZone Inventory cross shore
tables.
vi' Marine riparian vegetation, as lineal shoreline l1liks covered by different vegetative
classifications and their percent of the surveyed area.
./ Marsh habitat, as lineal shoreline miles covered and percent of the surveyed area shoreline
using WDNR ShoreZone Inventory infom1ation. This will be provided for the patchy and
continuous designations of the following ShoreZone Inventory classifications: TRI, GRA,
SAL, and SED.
W J\ ill to Roster ^gl11llt 1!R()O-34-0) Slipp III

The GIS layers and project report will be presented in two extents, one covering the City of Seattle
only (Figure I) and the other covering WRIA 9 (Figure 2). The draft project report will be reviewed
by City of Seattle and W9TC and revisions made as necessary. The final report will be provided in
an electronic fonn (on CD as a pdf file) for replication by Seattle and WRIA 9, along with a limited
number of hard copies (6 of each).
Deliverables:
0/ Draft Arc View Project containing GIS habitat layers (electronic files) for 1) City
of Seattle and 2) WRIA 9
,/ Meeting to discuss comments to draft GIS habitat layers and draft report
,/ Final Arc View Project containing GIS habitat layers (electronic files) for 1) City
of Seattle and 2) WRIA 9
./' Draft and Final Project Report for 1) City of Seattle (draft - 5 electronicfiles,
final - 15 electronic copies and 6 hard copies) and 2) WRIA 9 (draft - 5
electronic files, final - 15 electronic copies and 6 hard copies)
Assumptions:
0/ All comments will be compiled and synthesized before delivel)i to the consultant
for incorporation to the documents.
,/ One round of comments to the draft habitat layers and draft report will be
incorporated before the deliverables are finalized.
Task 4: Project Management.
The consultant will ensure that the individual tasks identified in the scope of work will be
completed as specified in a timely manner, including providing deliverables on time and within
budget. The consultant project manager shall work closely with the Seattle/WRIA project manager,
Seattle staff and WRIA 9 Technical Committee staff.
The consultant will monitor the project budget, scope and schedule and infonn the Seattle/WRIA
project manager of any issues that may interfere with the completion of the work in an efficient and
timely fashion. The consultant will provide monthly status reports, which will compare the work
completed with the scheduled tasks, provide supporting infomlation for all invoices, and compare
expenditures with task budgets. Supporting invoice infonnation will include details of expenditures
on each task, such as hours worked by project personnel and other direct expenses.
The consultant will also cooperate/coordinate with the contractor for the WRIA 9 Habitat JnventOl)l
for the Lower Green. Elliott Bay/Duwamish. and Nearshore sub-watersheds (SRFB Task 1). The
products of this project will be an important component of that project and a limited amount of
communication will need to OCCllr between the consultant conducting this project and the consultant
conducting SRFB Task I.
