SUBJECT: NPDES Annual Report and Stormwater Management Program Update
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
Submittal of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Annual Report and
Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) Update is required by the city's NPDES Phase II
Municipal Stormwater Permit and will have no direct financial impacts.
BACKGROUND:
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) is a federal permit that regulates
stormwater and wastewater discharges to waters of the United States,pursuant to the Clean Water Act.
The EPA may grant permitting authority to states and in Washington that regulatory authority resides
with the Washington State Department of Ecology(DOE).
The NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit for Western Washington was issued by DOE on
August 1,2012 and went into effect on August 1,2013.The Permit requires that all affected
municipalities create and implement a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP)that addresses and
directs the following six Permit-required activities:
1) Public Education and Outreach
2) Public Involvement
3) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4) Construction Site Run-Off
5) Operations and Maintenance of Post-Construction Stormwater Facilities, and
6) Monitoring
In addition to the SWMP,the Permit also requires the City to submit an Annual Report intended to update
DOE on the status of the City's compliance with the NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit.
Annual Reports must be submitted to DOE on or before March 31 of each year.
Since the effective date of this Permit, City staff has been working with DOE and several regional forums
to determine how to best meet Permit requirements. City staff prepared the following documents
(attached)to rneet the 2019 Annual Report and SWMP update requirements specified in the Permit:
• 2019 Annual Report
• Stormwater Management Program(SWMP) Update

Attachment 1 - Stormwater Management Program Update
Introduction
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Program is a requirement of the
Federal Clean Water Act intended to protect and restore waters for "fishable and swimmable" uses. The
Federal Environmental Protection Agency delegated permitting authority to state environmental agencies.
In Washington, the NPDES-delegated authority is the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology).
Since the City of Federal Way (City) operates a small municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) that
serves less than 100,000 people, it is designated as a "Phase II" community and must comply with Ecology's
Western Washington Phase II NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit (Permit). The first Permit was issued to
the City in 2007 and the current Permit was re-issued in 2012. A new Permit was to be issued July 2018,
however, Ecology extended the terms of the current Permit and it will continue to stay in effect through
July 2019.
The Permit allows municipalities to discharge stormwater runoff from the MS4 into the State's water
bodies (e.g., streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands, Puget Sound, etc.) as long as municipalities implement
measures to protect water quality to the "maximum extent practicable" through the application of best
management practices. These required practices, specified in the Permit, are implemented through the
City's Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). Permit section 55.2.A requires that the City detail "activities
for the upcoming calendar year" in order to meet Permit requirements. These activities are documented
within the SWMP and organized according to the following program components as outlined in the Permit:
• Public Education and Outreach (S5.C.1)
• Public Involvement and Participation (S5.C.2)
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (S5.C.3)
• Control of Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment, and Construction Sites(S5.C.4)
• Pollution Prevention and Municipal Operations and Maintenance (S5.C.5)
• Monitoring (S8)
The goal of the SWMP is to apply all known and reasonable technologies (AKART) to reduce the discharge
of pollutants into area receiving waters, protect surface waters from water quality degradation, and
conserve aquatic ecosystems.

2019 NPDES Annual Report-Attachment 1 City of Federal Way
Public Education and Outreach
The Surface Water Management Division (SWM) provides ongoing public education and outreach
designed to reduce and eliminate behaviors and practices that cause or contribute to adverse
stormwater impacts. Staff utilizes a variety of approaches to inform targeted audiences about
stormwater issues and provides specific actions people can follow to minimize stormwater pollution.
S5.C.I.a.i and ii Targeted Stormwater Outreach
A summary of educational activities scheduled for 2019 is provided as follows:
• Continue to make improvements to the Storming the Sound with Salmon (SSS) Program. In 2016,
SWM determined the culminating release event was not providing a learning opportunity for high
school aged students. In 2016, 2017, and 2018, SWM worked with the Federal Way Public Schools
to implement various options for the final phase of the SSS program at the high school level.
Evaluation of these options provided insight and direction for planning a more relevant experience
for high school students in the 2018/2019 school year. In 2019, SWM will work on developing a
meaningful, age-appropriate experience for high school students that will include a capstone
project within environmental sciences courses. This will help connect students to career
opportunities in the environmental field and involve them in an authentic research experience.The
capstone project will include water quality sampling, monitoring, and testing in a waterway local to
their school and proposing an action project based on the data collected.
Continue to sponsor the salmon release event in the spring for the SSS program and make
meaningful changes to the program's implementation. Each year, students participate in a daylong
field trip to release their Salmon into the West Hylebos Creek and participate in water and
ecological related presentations and activities led by staff and several volunteer environmental
organizations. Past events spanned four days and were open to classes in grades K-6. This year the
event will span five days, and will become a grade level experience for all fourth graders.
• Develop an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with the City of Federal Way Public Schools to standardize
SSS implementation for all schools that participate.The ILA will also provide clearly defined areas of
responsibility for the City and for the School District and provide a framework for program
sustainability.
• Continue to partner with the Environmental Coalition of South Seattle (ECOSS) to provide
stormwater education and free spill kits to businesses in the automotive and restaurant industries.
ECOSS provides stormwater inspection support, customized spill plans, and spill response training
for managers and employees. In previous years, ECOSS was funded by a regional grant to provide
this outreach effort to twenty area businesses, particularly to businesses that had multi-lingual
employees. Although grant funding is no longer available, SWM intends to continue this program,
targeting outreach to businesses with activities that are prone to spills, such as restaurants and
automotive support services.
• Continue to produce newsletters and other publications that address a variety of topics on
pollution prevention and general awareness of stormwater related issues. In August 2018, SWM
switched to a shared monthly e-newsletter with the City's Solid Waste Division. This has enabled
24
2019 NPDES Annual Report-Attachment 1 City of Federal Way
SWM to reach a wider audience, and to provide more time-sensitive information related to
upcoming events and Permit-related issues.
• Continue to sponsor stormwater and environmental related workshops. Since 2017 the City has
partnered with a locally-owned fresh food marketplace to host the City's Green Living Workshop
Program in an effort to increase awareness of this program. Due to the substantive increase in
participation, SWM will continue to partner with Solid Waste to sponsor free classes to the public
on topics such as green cleaning, natural lawn care, water conservation, rain gardens, and the use
of rain barrels.
• As a result of local organizations increasing their use of charity car wash ticket programs run
through the Pacific Northwest Car Wash Association and Brown Bear Car Wash, the City reduced
the number of fish friendly car wash kits available to the public in 2018. These kits are designed to
divert wash water to the sanitary sewer system and are loaned out by the City for charity car
washes at no cost. Due to more organizations using external charity car wash ticket programs, only
6 kits were checked out in 2018—less than in previous years. In 2019, SWM will continue to
encourage the use of charity car wash ticket programs and will reduce the number of car wash kits
available for check out to two.
• Continue to provide educational markers for installation near catch basins that drain to the
MS4.The markers inform the public that the drains discharge to local waterways.
• Continue to run the Scoop the Poop Campaign. In 2018, the City focused on audience and
behavior research, identification of motivators and barriers to picking "'
up pet waste, and the adoption of specific strategies to address the = r
identified motivators/barriers using focus groups, door-to-door
surveys, and a pre-survey mailer to the targeted area, tabling at
community events, and a "Scoop the Poop Pledge." In 2019, staff will
focus on outreach to enlist the help of local pet-related businesses to
disseminate the message. Outreach will also include a press release, a
social media posts, and a pet waste specific page on the Surface Water
website. Water quality staff will also conduct monthly fecal testing
within the watershed to determine trends in water quality data. . ., . ,
z
• Continue to partner with Solid Waste staff to initiate Social Media Marketing efforts in 2019,
which consists of a Public Works Facebook page and a monthly Constant Contact e-newsletter.
SWM will use the page to reach a broader segment of the City's residents, and to advertise
events, promote programs, and post related news and events from other sources to increase
awareness of stormwater issues.
• In 2018, SWM staff planned to begin transcreating the most frequently used education and
outreach materials, as well as BMP fact sheets most frequently used for water quality correction
notices for area businesses. Staff worked with volunteers to adapt the general SWM
informational brochure into Korean, and procured large restaurant BMP posters in Spanish. In
2019, staff will continue to expand the number of education and outreach materials offered in
languages besides English. SWM participated in a regional outreach campaign which created a
set of three PSA's focused on pet waste pickup, fixing car leaks, and natural yard care. The ads
aired in English on multiple networks throughout the Puget Sound region, including Federal
25
2019 NPDES Annual Report-Attachment 1 City of Federal Way
Way, and copies of the ads were made available to municipalities in English, Spanish, Korean,
and Vietnamese. In 2019, copies of the ads in all languages will be posted on the City's YouTube
page, shared through social media, including Constant Contact and Facebook, and the Korean
language ads will be shared at a Korean quarterly meeting.
S5.C.1.b Creating Stewardship Opportunities
• In 2018, SWM staff researched best practices and methodologies for building a Stream Team or
Stream Stewards Program. In 2019, SWM Staff will develop a plan for re-implementation of a
Stream Team program and research the viability of an Adopt-a-Drain program.
Continue to host volunteer events that encourage public participation in stewardship activities.
Activities may include storm drain marking, removing invasive plants species, planting native
vegetation, and removing garbage and debris from local waterbodies.
S5.C.I.c Measuring Outreach Effectiveness
• In 2019, SWM will continue to support the regional efforts of the Don't Drip and Drive campaign
by promoting the campaign on social media, recruiting automotive businesses to participate,
and serving on the Don't Drip and Drive Steering Committee.
Public Involvement & Participation
The City encourages the public and interested parties to participate in the decision-making process
involving the development and implementation of NPDES Permit related activities and programs.
S5.C.2.a and S5.C.2.b Involving the Public in the SWMP
Opportunities for public participation in the development of the SWMP include the following:
• January 16, 2019: Public Input Meeting on the City's Storm Water Management Program (SWMP)
Plan and SWM Comprehensive Plan Update;
• March 4, 2019: Land Use and Transportation Committee meeting;
• March 19, 2019: City Council meeting. The Council reviews the programmatic and policy changes
proposed under the SWMP and allows public comment on all agenda items.
• The City's Surface Water Management webpage displays the updated SWMP and the Annual
Report.Opportunity for public comment and participation is made possible via e-mail year round.

outfalls within the MS4. In 2019,SWM Staff will continue routine updates
that result from: the City's Video Inspection Program, completed new
? development or redevelopment as-builts, and field verifications from
utility locates. Additionally, SWM Staff will evaluate sub-watershed basin
boundaries for possible adjustment and mapping updates.
S5.C.3.b Water Pollution Prevention Ordinance
City Ordinance 09-619 prohibits non-stormwater discharges into the City's MS4. Examples of illicit
discharges include trash, food wastes, construction materials, petroleum products, paint, pesticides,
fertilizers, soap, and wash water. The SWM Water Quality Section implements escalating enforcement
procedures and actions pursuant to those outlined in Chapter 1.15 Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC). In
2018, enforcement procedures were reviewed and updated to achieve more efficient compliance and
legally enforce monetary penalties for those violators that continually fail to comply. In 2019, SWM staff
will incorporate the updated IDDE Field Procedures and Response Plan into its ongoing IDDE program.
S5.C.3.c Ongoing IDDE Program to Detect Non-stormwater Discharges and Illicit Connections
& S5.C.3.d Implement an Ongoing Program Designed to Address Illicit Discharges
The City met the Permit requirement for screening 40 percent of the City's stormwater system for illicit
connections through recurring source control inspections, video inspections, and stormwater facility
inspections.This program is ongoing, and in 2019 SWM staff will:
• Continue to inspect private commercial stormwater systems that discharge into the City's M54
to ensure maintenance complies with standards outlined in the Permit. SWM Staff incorporates
an education and outreach program into the commercial site inspection program. This
component provides advance notice and site specific information of stormwater systems to
property owners and their representatives. In addition, the outreach program provides
information on BIVIPs targeted to each site's commercial activities and land use. In 2019, SWM
staff will be placing a special emphasis on source control best practices. Staff will work to
incorporate more feedback mechanisms from property owners and managers to ensure
outreach methods and materials are accessible and effective, and will use the collected data to
update outreach efforts for commercial sites.
Analyze data collected during the 2013-18 Commercial Site Inspection program to prioritize sites
for future inspection. The data includes land use, compliance history, and pollution risks
associated with each site.
• Continue to utilize the IDDE database created in 2017 for staff use. The database increases
27
2019 NPDES Annual Report-Attachment 1 City of Federal Way
efficiencies in reporting and recording spills and respective response actions. The database was
created in 2017 and was updated in 2018 to allow for geographic and trend assessments. A spill
analysis of the 2013-18 Permit cycle was conducted to evaluate hot spots in the City for illicit
discharges, further broken down by type of discharge, drainage basin, and year. The results of this
analysis will be used in 2019 to assist staff, in identifying seasonal and/or geographic trends in
repeated water quality violations. SWM Staff will utilize this analysis to target outreach and
technical assistance in an effort to reduce common illicit discharges.
• Utilize the updated IDDE Field Procedures and Response Plan for all incoming employees to provide
an introduction to the program and orient them with City procedures for investigating, identifying,
enforcing, and eliminating illicit discharges and illicit connections.
S5.C.3.e IDDE Staff Training
SWM staff will continue to provide annual training to all City of Federal Way field staff and police personnel
in the identification of illicit discharges and notification to appropriate authorities.Additionally, all
maintenance personnel, SWM Water Quality staff, and SWM Inspectors are trained annually in spill
response and first responder hazard awareness. SWM staff will continue to review field procedures for
identifying, tracing, reporting, and documenting all reported illicit discharge's.
S5.C.3.e Program Recordkeeping
In addition to the IDDE database created in 2017, SWM staff utilize a public works maintenance
management software system,VUEWorks, to track and record all reported water quality violations and
associated documents, including: photographs, site maps, correspondence, legal actions, and final
resolution. Commercial site inspections are tracked through a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and active
construction sites are tracked through the City's permitting system. In 2019, Public Works Inspectors will
initiate tracking of interim TESC inspections of active construction sites within VUEWorks.
Controlling Runoff from Construction Sites
Construction site run-off is a major contributor to water quality
degradation in the greater Puget Sound region.To address this
issue, the City adopted the current King County Stormwater
Design Manual and the City of Federal Way Addendum in 2016.
--- Changes were made to development-related standards in 2016
to make Low Impact Development (LID)the preferred and
commonly used approach in site development.
S5.C.4.a Apply Stormwater Management Standards to Development, Redevelopment, and Construction
Sites
Federal Way Public Works Development Standards, codified under FWRC 19.135.130, and the King County
Stormwater Design Manual, as amended and adopted under City Ordinance 16-828, includes minimum
requirements for stormwater design and construction for the protection of water quality and the reduction
of pollutant discharge.
28
2019 NPDES Annual Report-Attachment 1 City of Federal Way
S5.C.4.b Review and Inspect Development/Redevelopment Projects
In 2019, Public Works Development Services will continue to implement the City's permitting process
including civil/site plan review and approval for compliance with City of Federal Way standards. Public
projects in the right-of-way that trigger local permits will be reviewed by internal stormwater engineers.
During construction, Public Works staff will continue to conduct weekly site inspections to ensure
implementation of proper temporary erosion and sediment control (TESC) BMPs. City inspectors have the
authority to enforce TESC standards for both private and public projects in order to reduce pollutants in
stormwater runoff to the MS4 from new development, redevelopment, and construction site activities.
In 2019,the City will be updating the Development Standards,which will include a review of planned LID
criteria.This review is part of the City's effort to require LID principles and LID BMPs to make it the
preferred and commonly used approach to site development.
S5.C.4.c Post Construction Operation and Maintenance
The City has an ongoing program to verify that long-term operation and maintenance (O&M) of post
construction stormwater facilities and BMPs is implemented.The City requirements for maintenance
standards are identified under the 2016 King County Stormwater Design Manual Appendix A, Maintenance
Requirements for Flow Control, Conveyance, and Water Quality Facilities. In 2019, Public Works staff will
continue post construction inspections prior to release of warranty bonds. In addition,SWM staff will
review post construction inspection procedures in conjunction with the Development Standards update.
S5.C.4.d Notice of Intent(NOI)
The City includes notification of the requirement to meet NOI in the pre-application comments, during the
review for land use, and during plan review for building permit phases depending on the project.The
development services project manager makes periodic inquiries to the on-line permit to verify compliance.
S5.C.4.e Staff Training
Plan reviewers are managed by a professional licensed engineer and all City staff responsible for approval
and/or inspection of new development, redevelopment, or construction are certified in Construction
Erosion and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL).City inspectors are also sent through the Washington
Department of Transportation Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP)for construction inspection and
documentation training.
S5.C.4.f Low Impact Development Code-related Requirements
In 2016,the City completed this requirement to review and where necessary revise enforceable documents
to make LID the preferred and commonly used approach to development.The City continues to utilize
Public Works Development Standards, which function as the City's enforceable document related to local
development, and was updated in 2016 and again in 2017. In 2019,the Public Works Development
Standards will be updated and SWM staff will review and propose any necessary revisions for continued
permit compliance.

Pollution Prevention, Operations & Maintenance
SWM has an ongoing program to reduce stormwater impacts
associated with maintenance and operations of City streets, �h
facilities, and properties. The program applies to drainage
infrastructure, which includes catch basins, pipes, open channels, as
well as residential and regional retention/detention facilities.
a
i
S.C.S.a Maintenance Standards
In 2019, SWM maintenance personnel will continue to implement maintenance standards as
outlined in the amended and adopted 2016 King County Stormwater Design Manual, which
includes Appendix A: Maintenance Requirements for Flow Control, Conveyance, and Water Quality
Facilities.
SS.C.S.b Annual Inspection of Flow Control and Runoff Treatment Facilities
• Continue to inspect known municipally owned and operated stormwater treatment and flow
control facilities as required by the Permit. Control structures, retention/detention ponds, and
bioswales are inspected and maintained annually. Any repairs required are recorded and scheduled
in the City's maintenance management and tracking system, VUEWorks.
• In 2018, SWM implemented mobile technology into its inspection program which allows for
electronic recording, filing, and scheduling for inspection results. In 2019, SWM will implement the
second phase of this program which will provide real time recording into the City's maintenance
management and tracking program software. This will result in streamlined operations. Also in
2019,this inspection program will be expanded to include outfalls and control structures.
• SWM Inspectors will continue to use the Video Inspection Program (Program) as a tool to
proactively manage the stormwater system to prevent flooding, drainage problems, and other
water quality concerns. The Program also supports several NPDES-related activities including
ongoing comprehensive mapping of the system, evaluation of management practices, and the
improvement of the ability to trace spills and identify illicit connections to the MS4.
S5.C.5.c Major Storm Event Inspections
• SWM Staff will continue to inspect facilities vulnerable to surface water related problems during
and after major storm events to ensure the systems are functioning properly, and to
determine/conduct any maintenance or repair needs.
S5.C.5.d Catch Basin Inspection Program
&S5.C.5.e Compliance with Inspection requirements
• SWM will continue to inspect and clean (when necessary) catch basins owned by the City. In 2018,
SWM incorporated an annual assessment into the City's catch basin inspection program. In 2019,
SWM will continue to review the City's circuit schedules, actual inspection results, cleaning and
31
2019 NPDES Annual Report-Attachment 1 City of Federal Way
maintenance records, new development or redevelopment schedules, changes in commercial use,
and evaluation of previous year's snow and ice operations. SWM will use this assessment to adjust
the City's circuits in order to comply with the requirements of an alternate inspection schedule
under the next permit cycle.
• To assist with this effort, SWM has implemented a new inspection program using mobile
technology that provides more accurate measuring and tracking of catch basin sediment levels.The
technology also provides better record keeping, ensuring that maintenance is performed on those
catch basins meeting or exceeding the threshold within the six-month permit-required timeline.
• SWM will continue to inspect and clean all arterial catch basins within the City.
S5.C.S.f Practices, Policies,and Procedures to Reduce Impacts of Stormwater Runoff Related to Municipal
Operations
In 2018, SWM Staff implemented new procedures and practices for managing the stormwater
infrastructure maintenance program. Included in the updated program were changes in scheduling,
tracking, and recording of maintenance activities. In 2019 SWM will review the 2018 program and
update the current maintenance Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS) to incorporate changes
made to the program.
• Also in 2019, SWM will review Streets and Parks O&M SOPS for adherence to permit requirements
for reduction of stormwater impacts associated with maintenance activities.
S5.C.S.g Training Program for Operation and Maintenance Personnel
• City field staff is trained annually in IDDE and spill response procedures. In 2019, field staff
responsible for construction operations, street maintenance, parks, and facilities maintenance will
also receive updated training in construction BMPs, spill response, and review of Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and TESC requirements.
• Maintenance personnel are trained on a rotational basis for pesticide/herbicide application and this
program will continue in 2019.
S5.C.S.h Implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for Heavy Equipment, Maintenance, and
Storage Yards
• In 2019, the City will review and update the SWPPP for the Public Works/Parks Maintenance Yard
Annex located at 31130 28th Avenue South. In addition, a generic SWPPP for all City-owned sites
that have above-ground storage tanks will be developed and disseminated to responsible staff.
• Staff will continue to review policies and procedures to ensure proper pollution management
practices are consistently being implemented and documented.
S5.C.S.i Operation, Maintenance, and Repair Records
• In 2018, a review of records retention and data collection was done as part of the updated
procedures and practices for operation, maintenance, and repair. In 2019, SWM will be completing
32
2019 NPDES Annual Report-Attachment 1 City of Federal Way
the implementation plan for digitizing all O&M and repair records as well as standardizing
maintenance records procedures.
• Also in 2019,SWM will review recording and tracking procedures for Streets and Parks personnel.

Monitoring
A collaborative monitoring program is paid for by Western Washington NPDES Permittees, administered by
Ecology, and designed to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the best management practices
specified in the Permit. The goal of the monitoring program is to provide an unbiased assessment of
whether stormwater management actions are resulting in genuine progress towards regional water quality
targets. In 2019, the City will continue to pay into the collective fund and support the implementation of
the three components of the Regional Stormwater Monitoring Program:
• In-stream monitoring to measure whether the health of lowland streams and shorelines in Puget
Sound is improving or declining;
• Stormwater effectiveness studies to provide widely applicable information about what best
management practices work, or don't work, and how to improve stormwater management; and
• Source Identification Information Repository designed to share information about source
identification and elimination methods and identify opportunities for regional solutions to common
illicit discharges and pollution problems.

Attachment 2 -Description of 2018 Public Education Activities
Public Events
In 2018,the Surface Water Management Division continued to create a more public presence.To
this end, City staff tabled at three community events over the summer, including three Federal
Way Farmers Markets, Federal Way Kid's Day, and one of the City's "Movie in the Park" nights.
Storming the Sound with Salmon Program
The Storming the Sound with Salmon program is an annual stormwater education program
developed and implemented by the City and the Federal Way Public Schools in 2012.The program
includes classroom curriculum focusing on stormwater education and provides students with the
opportunity to raise salmon at their school. At the end of the school year, students participate in a
salmon release event where they release the salmon into a local creek and spend the day
participating in outdoor learning at a local park. In May, the City held four salmon release events
serving over 900 students from 35 different schools.
Natural Yard Care Classes
The City collaborated with Tilth Alliance to host a series of three Natural Yard Care classes in 2018.
The topics included "Fall Lawn Care," "Do More with Your Yard," and "Hands-On: Lawn Care, Soil
Building and Planting," and were taught by experts from Tilth Alliance and the Garden Hotline.A
total of 22 people attended the three workshops.
Waterworks Grant
The Waterworks Grant, awarded to the City on April 13, 2016 by the King County Natural
Resources and Parks Waste Water Treatment Division, provided the City funding to create a video
on the Storming the Sound with Salmon Program, which was completed in January 2018. The
video will be used as a tool for other jurisdictions who may be thinking about starting their own
similar program. Filming began in December 2017, with video completion in January 2018.
Green Living Workshops
The Surface Water Management Division and the Solid Waste & Recycling Division staff
collaborate to provide free educational workshops for residents on topics related to stormwater
and sustainability.Topics in 2018 included: Edible Gardening, Green Cleaning, Worms Bins&
Backyard Composting, Marine Debris, Natural Landscaping, Noxious Weeds, Zero Waste, and Fruit
Tree Pruning.
Volunteer Events
The Surface Water Management Division recognizes and appreciates the hard work of volunteers
that donate their time to improve the water quality of stormwater and our local surface waters.
The City held five volunteer events in 2018 totaling 392 volunteer hours, and hosted one recurring
volunteer who totaled nine hours.Volunteer activities included removing invasive plants, cleaning
up local parks and streams, and assisting with Storming the Sound with Salmon.
E-Newsletter
In 2018; public education staff transitioned-from a print quarte-rly-newsletter to monthly-e-
newsletters in collaboration with the Solid Waste Division. E-newsletters allowed the division to
36
2019 NPDES Annual Report-Attachment 2 City of Federal Way
provide more timely information to the public on seasonal stormwater issues and upcoming
events.
Environmental Coalition of South Seattle (ECOSS)
The City collaborated with ECOSS, a non-profit organization, which provided multilingual
stormwater outreach to 45 businesses in the City. ECOSS provided free spill kits, custom spill plans
and training so businesses knew how to quickly deal with spills and illicit discharges.
Car Wash Program
The City's car wash program informs businesses and charity groups that it is a violation of City
Code to allow dirty soapy water from car washing to enter storm drains. Realizing that car washes
are an important fundraising tool for many groups in the community,the City offers an
environmentally safe solution.The City has special kits available that pump wash water into the
sanitary sewer system, keeping contaminants out of local surface waters. During 2018,five
charity organizations checked out the kits six times, at no charge,from the Public Works
Department. The City also advertises charity car wash ticket programs through the Puget Sound
Car Wash Association (PSCWA) and Brown Bear as alternatives to the car wash kits. In 2018, local
organizations bought 597 car wash tickets through PSCWA and 4,492 through Brown Bear.
Various Publications
Each year, the Surface Water Management Division produces new and updated public education
materials as needed. In 2018, some of the materials created included translating the general
Surface Water Management brochure into Korean, and updating the Scoop the Poop brochure to
make it more easily translated in the future.
Puget Sound Starts Here Commercial Series
The Surface Water Management Division participated in a regional outreach effort coordinated by
Stormwater Outreach for Regional Municipalities(STORM), which involved a series of three
commercials that aired on all Comcast platforms from June to September. Each commercial was a
call to action that focused on a different BMP: natural yard care, pet waste, and fixing car leaks.
Pet Waste Survey
As part of the Scoop the Poop Program the Surface Water Management Division conducted a
survey of residents within the Upper Joe's Creek Watershed to gauge knowledge of pet waste
issues. The City mailed the survey to 1,330 residents, and received 133 responses. The responses
will be analyzed in 2019 and used to determine outreach strategies going forward.
Training
City staff participated in a number of trainings in 2018 related to the City's Stormwater
Management program.Trainings varied in the number of staff in attendance.

Attachment 3 -Evaluation & Measurement of a Selected Education Program
Summary
The City of Federal Way has been partnering with ECOSS (Environmental Coalition of South Seattle)to
provide multicultural outreach on spill kits to businesses in Federal Way since 2013. In 2018, ECOSS
engaged with 45 multicultural and English-speaking businesses on behalf of Federal Way to teach them
about stormwater pollution prevention, help them save money by providing spill kits at no cost,and
promote the protection of Puget Sound.
The Surface Water Management Division chose 54 businesses to work with, based on the most active
violators. Of these 54 businesses, 8 had gone out of business, 20 received spill kits, 26 participated in
post-service surveys, and one declined service. ECOSS staff provided outreach materials in multiple
languages, including Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, Somali, Mandarin/Cantonese, and other languages as
needed.
ECOSS worked with a social marketing consultant to determine the perceived barriers and benefits of
these businesses that would either prevent or motivate them to participate in the program.With their
barriers and benefits research, they provided a number of outreach materials to the businesses:
• Program Brochure
• Instruction Poster
• Spill Kit Content Sheet
• Pledge Sheet
• Spill Plan
• Site Map
ECOSS conducted initial and follow-up visits to all businesses. During initial visits, staff conducted a
baseline survey of owners or staff to get a sense of levels of knowledge of stormwater issues and beliefs
about the responsibility of the business to clean up their own spills. A representative sample of the
businesses was then contacted to complete a post-survey. When two or more years have passed since
an initial visit to a business, ECOSS treats the business as a new site visit and provides all of the same
resources as they do for an initial visit.

RE. Requested follow up documentation regarding Catch Basin Inspection Schedule for Public
Stormwater Facilities Regulated by the City of Federal Way
Dear Danielle,
This written statement by the City of Federal Way (City) serves to document changes in the City's catch
basin inspection program to comply with the 2012 Western Washington Phase li Municipal Stormwater
Permit(permit), Special Condition S5.C.5.d, which outlines options available to Permittees for inspection
schedules of stormwater catch basins.
Public Works has been designated by the Mayor of the City of Federal Way as the Department
responsible for implementation of the permit. The Surface Water Management Division (SWM) has
been identified as the lead for implementation of Special Condition S5.C.5.d, maintenance of
stormwater facilities owned or operated by the City. As such, SWM successfully implemented a catch
basin inspection schedule for non-arterial catch basins based on drainage basins, average land use,
topography, maintenance records, and collected data from inspections conducted since 2012. This
allowed for an inspection of all catch basins to occur at least once by August 1, 2017.
The City's catch basin inspection schedule applies to non-arterial catch basins only, as the City's current
inventory of 3,381 arterial catch basins is inspected and cleaned annually. The remaining 9,212 CBs
were inspected on a schedule that was based on an analysis of inspection and cleaning records during
the calendar years 2002 to 2008. In February 2018 Department of Ecology's (Ecology) Municipal
Stormwater Permit Coordinator for South King County, Ben Billick, reviewed the City's analysis and
resultant alternate inspection program and determined the City's schedule was a hybrid of an alternate
less frequent approach and a circuit approach, as outlined in Department of Ecology Publication Number
13-10-019, Catch Basin Inspection Alternative for Phase I and N Municipal Stormwater Permittees. After
conversations with Ecology staff and in response to Ecology's review of the City's program, provided as
Attachment 1, SWM has made modifications to the inspection schedule as of June 2018 to incorporate
suggestions from Ecology. This letter is provided as the requested follow up documentation of those
modifications.
49
The City confirms that the catch basin alternate inspection schedule is identified by 'circuits' that were
established based on three factors: average land use, street designation (non-arterial), and
configuration of the MS4. In response to Ecology's review on the status of the off year circuits, i.e.
circuits not included within the current year's annual inspections, SWM has modified the annual
inspections of non-arterial catch basins to include an inspection of 2.5% of each off-year circuit in
addition to the regularly scheduled circuits. This will enable the City to complete an inspection of all
catch basins within the two-year requirement under this permit cycle and collect the data for analysis of
the City's circuits for future implementation of a less frequent inspection schedule.
SWM has incorporated an annual assessment which will review the City's circuit schedules, actual
inspection results, cleaning and maintenance records, new development or redevelopment schedules,
changes in commercial use, and evaluation of previous year's snow and ice operations. SWM will use
this assessment to adjust the City's circuits in order to comply with the requirements of an alternate
inspection schedule under the next permit cycle. To assist with this effort, SWM has implemented a
new inspection program using real time mobile technology that provides more accurate measuring and
tracking of catch basin sediment levels. The technology also provides better record keeping, ensuring
that maintenance is performed on those catch basins meeting or exceeding the threshold within the six
(6) month permit required time period.
Pursuant to Ecology's recommendations, the City has modified its hybrid approach to catch basin
schedules to better align with permit requirements and has incorporated an annual assessment of the
program to plan for an alternate inspection schedule approach.
I certify under penalty of law,that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction
or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly
gathered and evaluated the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who
manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering information, the information
submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that
there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and
imprisonment for willful violation.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing—Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Future Realignment of
South 324'h Street Extension,Files 18-105898-00-SE and 18-105198-UP
DATE: March 4,2019
I. BACKGROUND AND FINANCIAL IMPACT
The 2015 comprehensive plan shows the future road alignment as extending over I-5 east to 32nd
Avenue South (Exhibit A). This comprehensive plan amendment would realign the future
extension further south to connect with Weyerhaeuser Way South(Exhibit B).The South 324th
extension is planned to be constructed no sooner than 2025; although, no construction plans or
resources have been allocated towards the project and the amendment is a non-project action.
Larger maps of the existing and proposed alignments are shown in Exhibits C and D.
The action will not result in any financial impact upon the City. Spending impacts from future
project actions allowed by the Comprehensive Plan amendment will be evaluated if,and when,
such proposals occur.
II. REASON FOR COUNCIL ACTION
FWRC Chapter 19.80, establishes a process and criteria for comprehensive plan amendments.
Consistent with Process VI review,the role of the Council is to review and evaluate the
recommendation of a proposal,to find that the plan amendments meet the criteria provided by
FWRC.80.140, 19.80.150, and 19.75.130(3), and based upon such information,approve, approve
with amendment, or deny a proposal.
III. PROCEDURAL SUMMARY
The following table indicates the actions that have been taken to bring the proposal for
Comprehensive Plan amendment to the Council.

IV. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Four written comments, as summarized in Table I,were received on this proposed amendment.
Table I
No. Summary of Comments Names
1 A representative from the BP Olympic Pipe Line states that realigning Chase Wakefield
South 324`h Street will impact their 14-inch pipe line that needs to be representing BP
protected in this area. Olympic Pipe Line
2 The realignment of the road will direct traffic volume from 5,000 Richard Pierson
vehicles to Weyerhaeuser Way South,instead of being dispersed to both
Weyerhaeuser Way South and 32"d Avenue South.In addition,the 2015
comprehensive plan did not address traffic from the proposed
developments of DaVita and the Industrial Realty Group.He also stated
that in relationship to the environmental checklist,forest land use has
been practiced in the location of the proposed alignment as a"Managed
Forest Buffer,"and the realignment would also affect a trail in that area.
3 They are generally in favor of the realignment,although they have Lori Sechrist on behalf
concerns about the increased traffic going to Weyerhaeuser South. They of Save Weyerhaeuser
are,however,in favor of the well-paying jobs that DaVita will bring. Campus
They state that the proposed road should not result in elimination of the
managed forest buffer;if the 1-5 off ramps are constructed,South 324h
Street should be the only access point for semi-trucks entering and
exiting the CP-1 zoned property located north of South 336`s Street;the
property is within the Tacoma Smelter Plume zone;the proposed street
extension will eliminate portions of recreational trails in the CP-1 zone;
and the Weyerhaeuser Headquarters building and likely most of the
landscape are eligible for National Historic Register listing.
4 Has concerns about the increased safety issue related to the proposed Richard Pierson
intersection being located on a curve at the intersection with
Weyerhaeuser Way South as compared to a minimal curve on the
connection to Weyerhaeuser Way in the comprehensive plan from
South 323`d Street.

V. COMPLIANCE WITH FWRC 19.80.140 AND 19.80.150
1. FWRC 19.80.140, Factors to be considered in a Comprehensive Plan Amendment—The city
may consider,but is not limited to,the following factors when considering a proposed
amendment to the comprehensive plan.
(1) The effect upon the physical environment.
There should be no adverse impact on the physical environment related to future
construction of South 324`h Street in its new alignment. Impacts from the future
connection have already been evaluated and will not be increased by this proposal.
Future road construction will be subject to environmental review as required by the
Washington State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)and the National Environmental
Policy Act(NEPA), and will be evaluated in accordance with all plans,policies,rules,
and regulations adopted as a basis for the exercise of substantive authority under SEPA to
approve, condition, or deny the proposed action.
There is a Class H wetland located east of I-5, approximately 275 feet north of the proposed
alignment. Class II wetlands have buffers ranging from 75 to 225 feet.There is also a small
Class III wetland located where South 3240'would intersect with Weyerhaeuser Way
South. Class III wetlands have buffers ranging from 60 to 225 feet.In addition,there is a
major stream,East Hylebos Creek,located approximately 150 feet to the north.Major
streams have 100 foot buffers.Refer to Exhibit H.
The site is located within the Enhanced Basic Water Quality Treatment Area.Any water-
related or erosion-related impacts associated with future development must be mitigated
in compliance with the city-adopted 2016 King County Surface Water Manual
(KCSWM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the Manual. This requires any
erosion-related impacts created during clearing and construction activities to be addressed
according to a Temporary Erosion Sedimentation Control Plan(TESC),which is a
standard part of engineering review and approval.
(2) The effect on open space, streams, and lakes.
Please refer to responses under Section V(1)(1),above.
(3) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods.
Land to the north is zoned OP-1. The road extension is planned to be constructed on land
zoned CP-1. Based on language in the 1994 Concomitant Agreement,which established the
zoning and allowable uses in each zone,the uses in the respective zones are deemed to be
compatible. Any future roadway should also be compatible with the uses in each zone.
(4) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads,public
transportation,parks, recreation, and schools.
Construction of South 320 Street, with an alignment further to the south than the
existing alignment will not impact community facilities, including utilities,roads,public
transportation,parks,recreation, and schools. However,the proposed street extension
City Council Staff Report 5 March 4,2019
2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments,Future Realignment of South 324`h Street Extension Page 3 of 10
will eliminate portions of recreational trails in the CP-1 zone.
(5) The benefit to the neighborhood, city, and region.
Moving the future realignment of South 324th Street further south would benefit the city
because the existing alignment would bisect the future DaVita Campus.DaVita is
proposing to expand its campus in two phases.The first phase includes a full site buildout
with a 160,000 square building and 681 new parking spaces. The second phase will come
at an undetermined time in the future with an expansion of the building to 200,000 square
feet. This will benefit the neighborhood, city, and region by providing 640 to 720 well-
paying jobs in the first phase expansion. The realignment will also be beneficial for
future development in East Campus by providing more land for such development that is
not bisected by a road.
(6) The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and
the demand for such land.
This road or its parallel alternative at South 312"'Street has been in the comprehensive
plan since 1995, and the realignment will not affect the quantity of land required for its
construction.
(7) The current and projected population density in the area.
The area on which the future road extension would be constructed is zoned CP-1,which
does not permit housing, so there is no current or projected population density in the area.
(8) The effect upon other aspects of the comprehensive plan.
Realignment of the future extension of South 324th Street will not affect other aspects of
the comprehensive plan.
2. FWRC 19.80.150, Criteria for Amending the Comprehensive Plan—The city may amend the
comprehensive plan only if it finds that:
(1) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare;
Realignment of the future extension of South 324th Street is related to the public safety as
it will provide an alternative safe access from areas east of I-5 to areas to the west.It also
improves public welfare by providing more land for development.
(2) The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
Please see responses under Sections V(1)(5)and V(2)(1).
(3) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW
and with the portion of the city's adopted plan not affected by the amendments.
The comprehensive plan amendment and rezone under consideration is consistent with the
following goals of RCW Chapter 36.70A.020(2) of the Growth Management Act(GMA):
City Council Staff Report 55 March 4,2019
2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments,Future Realignment of South 324th Street Extension Page 4 of 10
"(i) Transportation. Encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems
that are based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city
comprehensive plans.
"(ii) Economic development. Encourage economic development throughout
the state that is consistent with adopted comprehensive plans,promote
economic opportunity for all citizens of this state, especially for
unemployed and for disadvantaged persons,promote the retention and
expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses,
recognize regional differences impacting economic"development ;
opportunities, and encourage growth in areas experiencing insufficient
economic growth, all within the capacities of the state's natural resources,
public services, and public facilities.
"(iii) Public facilities and services. Ensure that those public facilities and
services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the
development at the time the development is available for occupancy and
use without decreasing current service levels below locally established
minimum standards."
The proposal is also consistent with the following goals and policies of the
comprehensive plan:
"TG1 Maintain mobility through a safe, balanced, and integrated
transportation system.
"TG3 Enhance community health, livability, and transportation by providing
a connected system of pedestrian,bicycle, and transit ways that are
integrated into a coordinated regional network."
VI.COMPLIANCE WITH FWRC 19.75.130(3)
Site-specific requests are also required to be evaluated for compliance with this section.
1) The city may approve the application only if it finds that:
a. The proposed request is in the best interests of the residents of the city.
Please see responses under Sections V(1)(5)and V(2)(2).
h, The proposed request is appropriate because either.-
Conditions
ither:Conditions in the immediate vicinity of the subject property have so significantly
changed since the property was given its present zoning that, under those changed
conditions, a change in designation is within the public interest; or
(ii) The rezone will correct a zone classification or zone boundary that was
inappropriate when established.

2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments,Future Realignment of�fth 324'h Street Extension Page 5 of 10
The area where the road will be constructed was given the CP-1 designation in 1994.
Since that time,new developments have been proposed in the area as a result of the
purchase of the Weyerhaeuser property. With the Greenline warehouses in the
planning stages and with the construction of the new DaVita office buildings,the
area is changing significantly.
c. It is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The comprehensive plan shows the location of the existing road on Map III-3 (Exhibit I).
The proposed realignment of the South 324th Street extension to the south is substantially
in compliance with that location. This connection or its parallel alternative at South 312th
Street has been in the plan since 1995.
d. It is consistent with all applicable provisions of the title, including those adopted by
reference from the comprehensive plan.

PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
February 12,2019
To: Wayne Carlson, Federal Way Planning Commission Chair
FROM: Brian Davis, Community Development Director '""
Robert"Doe"Hansen,Planning Manager
Margaret H. Clark, AICP, Principal Planner
SUBJECT: Public Hearing—Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Future Realignment of
South 324'h Street Extension,Files 18-105898-00-SE and 18-105198-UP
MEETING DATE: February 20,2019
I. BACKGROUND
The 2015 comprehensive plan shows the future road alignment as extending over I-5 east to 32nd
Avenue South(Exhibit A). This comprehensive plan amendment would realign the future
extension further south to connect with Weyerhaeuser Way South(Exhibit B). The South 324th
extension is planned to be constructed no sooner than 2025; although,no construction plans or
resources have been allocated towards the project and the amendment is a non-project action.
Larger maps of the existing and proposed alignments are shown in Exhibits C and D.
II. REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
FWRC Chapter 19.80, "Council Rezones," establishes a process and criteria for comprehensive
plan amendments. Consistent with Process VI review, the role of the Planning Commission is as
follows:
1. To review and evaluate the requests for comprehensive plan amendments;
2. To determine whether the proposed comprehensive plan amendments meet the
criteria provided by FWRC.80.140, 19.80.150, and 19.75.130(3); and
3. To forward a recommendation to the City Council regarding adoption of the
proposed comprehensive plan amendments.

IV. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Four written comments (Exhibit G), as summarized in Table I, were received on this proposed
amendment.
Table I
No. Summary of Comments Names
1 A representative from the BP Olympic Pipe Line states that realigning Chase Wakefield
South 324`h Street will impact their 14-inch pipe line that needs to be representing BP
protected in this area. Olympic Pipe Line
2 The realignment of the road will direct traffic volume from 5,000 Richard Pierson
vehicles to Weyerhaeuser Way South, instead of being dispersed to both
Weyerhaeuser Way South and 32 d Avenue South, In addition,the 2015
comprehensive plan did not address traffic from the proposed
developments of DaVita and the Industrial Realty Group.He also stated
that in relationship to the environmental checklist, forest land use has
been practiced in the location of the proposed alignment as a"Managed
Forest Buffer," and the realignment would also affect a trail in that area.
3 They are generally in favor of the realignment,although they have Lori Sechrist on behalf
concerns about the increased traffic going to Weyerhaeuser South.They of Save Weyerhaeuser
are,however,in favor of the well-paying jobs that DaVita will bring. Campus
They state that the proposed road should not result in elimination of the
managed forest buffer;if the I-5 oft ramps are constructed,South 324"
Street Should be the only access point for semi-trucks entering and
exiting the CP-I zoned property located north of South 336th Street;the
property is within the Tacoma Smelter Plume zone; the proposed street
extension will eliminate portions of recreational trails in the CP-1 zone;
and the Weyerhaeuser Headquarters building and likely most of the
landscape are eligible for-National Historic Register listing. - -

No. Summary of Comments Names
4 Has concerns about the increased safety issue related to the proposed Richard Pierson
intersection being located on a curve at the intersection with
Weyerhaeuser Way South as compared to a minimal curve on the
connection to Weyerhaeuser Way in the comprehensive plan from
South 323`d Street.
V. COMPLIANCE WITH FWRC 19.80.140 AND 19.80.150
1. FWRC 19.80.140, Factors to be considered in a Comprehensive Plan Amendment—The city
may consider,but is not limited to,the following factors when considering a proposed
amendment to the comprehensive plan.
(1) The effect upon the physical environment.
There should be no adverse impact on the physical environment related to future
construction of South 324 'Street in its new alignment.Impacts from the future
connection have already been evaluated and will not be increased by this proposal.
Future road construction will be subject to environmental review as required by the
Washington State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)and the National Environmental
Policy Act(NEPA),and will be evaluated in accordance with all plans,policies,rules,
and regulations adopted as a basis for the exercise of substantive authority under SEPA to
approve, condition, or deny the proposed action.
There is a Class II wetland located east of I-5,approximately 275 feet north of the proposed
aliLmment.Class II wetlands have buffers ranging from 75 to 225 feet.There is also a small
Class IH wetland located where South 324 'would intersect with Weyerhaeuser Way
South. Class III wetlands have buffers ranging from 60 to 225 feet.In addition,there is a
major stream,East Hylebos Creek,located approximately 150 feet to the north.Major
streams have 100 foot buffers.Refer to Exhibit H.
The site is located within the Enhanced Basic Water Quality Treatment Area.Any water-
related or erosion-related impacts associated with future development must be mitigated
in compliance with the city-adopted 2016 King County Surface Water Manual
(KCSWM)and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the Manual.This requires any
erosion-related impacts created during clearing and construction activities to be addressed
according to a Temporary Erosion Sedimentation Control Plan(TESC),which is a
standard part of engineering review and approval.
(2) The effect on open space, streams, and lakes.
Please refer to responses under Section V(1)(1),above.
(3) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods.
Land to the north is zoned OP-1. The road extension is planned to be constructed on land
zoned CP-1. Based on language in the 1994 Concomitant Agreement,which established the
zoning and allowable uses in each zone,the uses in the respective zones are deemed to be
compatible.Any future roadway should also be compatible with the uses in each zone.
Planning Commission Staff Report February 12,2019
2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments,Future Realignment of�outh 324th Street Extension Page 3 of 7
(4) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads,public
transportation,parks, recreation, and schools.
Construction of South 324`h Street, with an alignment further to the south than the
existing alignment will not impact community facilities, including utilities,roads,public
transportation,parks, recreation,and schools.However,the proposed street extension
will eliminate portions of recreational trails in the CP-1 zone.
(5) The benefit to the neighborhood, city, and region.
Moving the future realignment of South 324 'Street further south would benefit the city
because the existing alignment would bisect the future DaVita Campus. DaVita is
proposing to expand its campus in two phases.The first phase includes a full site buildout
with a 160,000 square building and 681 new parking spaces. The second phase will come
at an undetermined time in the future with an expansion of the building to 200,000 square
feet.This will benefit the neighborhood, city, and region by providing 640 to 720 well-
paying jobs in the first phase expansion. The realignment will also be beneficial for
future development in East Campus by providing more land for such development that is
not bisected by a road.
(6) The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and
the demand for such land.
This road or its parallel alternative at South 312`h Street has been in the comprehensive
plan since 1995, and the realignment will not affect the quantity of land required for its
construction.
(7) The current and projected population density in the area.
The area on which the future road extension would be constructed is zoned CP-1,which
does not permit housing, so there is no current or projected population density in the area.
(8) The effect upon other aspects of the comprehensive plan.
Realignment of the future extension of South 324`h Street will not affect other aspects of
the comprehensive plan.
2. FWRC 19.80.150, Criteria for Amending the Comprehensive Plan—The city may amend the
comprehensive plan only if it finds that:
(1) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare;
Realignment of the future extension of South 324`h Street is related to the public safety as
it will provide an alternative safe access from areas east of I-5 to areas to the west. It also
improves public welfare by providing more land for development.
(2) The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
Planning Commission Staff Reportgg� February 12,2019
2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments,Future Realignment ofyouth 324`h Street Extension Page 4 of 7
Please see responses under Sections V(1)(5)and V(2) (1).
(3) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW
and with the portion of the city's adopted plan not affected by the amendments.
The comprehensive plan amendment and rezone under consideration is consistent with the
following goals of RCW Chapter 36.70A.020(2)of the Growth Management Act(GMA):
"(i) Transportation. Encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems
that are based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city
comprehensive plans.
"(ii) Economic development. Encourage economic development throughout
the state that is consistent with adopted comprehensive plans,promote
economic opportunity for all citizens of this state, especially for
unemployed and for disadvantaged persons,promote the retention and
expansion of existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses,
recognize regional differences impacting economic development
opportunities, and encourage growth in areas experiencing insufficient
economic growth, all within the capacities of the state's natural resources,
public services, and public facilities.
"(iii) Public facilities and services. Ensure that those public facilities and
services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the
development at the time the development is available for occupancy and
use without decreasing current service levels below locally established
minimum standards."
The proposal is also consistent with the following goals and policies of the
comprehensive plan:
"TG1 Maintain mobility through a safe,balanced, and integrated
transportation system.
"TG3 Enhance community health, livability, and transportation by providing
a connected system of pedestrian,bicycle, and transit ways that are
integrated into a coordinated regional network."
VI.COMPLIANCE WITH FWRC 19.75.130(3)
Site-specific requests are also required to be evaluated for compliance with this section.
1) The city may approve the application only if it finds that:
a. The proposed request is in the best interests of the residents of the city.
Please see responses under Sections V(1)(5)and V(2)(2).
b. The proposed request is appropriate because either:
Planning Commission Staff Report February 12,2019
2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments,Future Realignment of South 324th Street Extension Page 5 of 7
(i) Conditions in the immediate vicinity of the subject property have so significantly
changed since the property was given its present zoning that, under those changed
conditions, a change in designation is within the public interest; or
(ii) The rezone will correct a zone classification or zone boundary that was
inappropriate when established.
The area where the road will be constructed was given the CP-1 designation in 1994.
Since that time, new developments have been proposed in the area as a result of the
purchase of the Weyerhaeuser property.With the Greenline warehouses in the
planning stages and with the construction of the new DaVita office buildings,the
area is changing significantly.
c. It is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The comprehensive plan shows the location of the existing road on Map 11I-3 (Exhibit I).
The proposed realignment of the South 324th Street extension to the south is substantially
in compliance with that location. This connection or its parallel alternative at South 312th
Street has been in the plan since 1995.
d. It is consistent with all applicable provisions of the title, including those adopted by
reference from the comprehensive plan.
Please refer to the response under Sections V. (2) (3)and VI. (1)(C) above.
e. It is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare.
Refer to response under Section V. (2) (1) above.
VII. MAYOR'S RECOMMENDATION
The Mayor recommends that project number 16-13 in Table III-10, Capital Improvement
Program(CIP)—2016 to 2040, of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan be amended as follows:

proposal are significant.This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance,minimization,
or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts,or if an environmental
impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
Instructions for applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.Please
answer each question accurately and carefully,to the best of your knowledge.You may need to consult with
an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use "not applicable"or "does not
apply"only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may
also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies and/or reports.Complete and accurate answers to
these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process, as well as later in the decision-making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal,even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land.Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects.The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant
adverse impact.
Instructions for Lead Agencies:
Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment,all interrelated aspects of the
proposal,and an analysis of adverse impacts.The checklist is considered the first,but not necessarily the
only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold
determination is made,the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and
other supporting documents.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals:
For nonproject proposals(such as ordinances,regulations,plans,and programs),complete the applicable
parts of sections A and B,plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS(part D).Please
completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words"project,""applicant,"and"property or
site"should be read as"proposal,""proponent,"and"affected geographic area,"respectively.The lead
agency may exclude(for nonprojects)questions in Part B (Environmental Elements)that do not contribute
meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

models were used to make these estimates?
The City uses travel demand modelling based on PSRC's regional model with detail added within
and near Federal Way with current 2040 land use forecasts.If constructed,the new roadway is
estimated to carry approximately 5,000 vehicles per day.However,other land use proposals in the
area may increase these volumes significantly,so those projects will evaluate their impacts on this
roadway as they move forward. Similarly, another roadway improvement project may result in the
addition of freeway ramps to and from 1.-5 at South 324th Street,which would also alter the traffic
volume-foremsts.

police protection,public transit,health care,schools,other)? if so,generally describe.
No.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services,if any.
Not applicable.
Staff concurs with the checklist.
16. Utilities
a. Underline/circle utilities currently available at the site:
electricity,natural gas,water,refuse service,telephone,sanitary sewer,septic system,other.
It is unlikely that any utilities are available along the proposed realignment as this is presently
vacant commercial land.
b. Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project,the utility providing the service,and
the general construction activities on the site or in the immediate vicinity which might be
needed.
If the road is constructed,street lights are expected to be installed at the same time as the roadway.
Puget Sound Energy would provide the electricity for the lights.
Staff concurs with the checklist.

D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS
(IT IS NOT NECESSARY to use this sheet for project actions.)
Because these questions are very general,it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the
elements of the environment.
When answering these questions,be aware of the extent the proposal,or the types of activities likely to
result from the proposal,would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal
were not implemented.Respond briefly and in general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air;production,
storage,or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
The comprehensive plan amendment related to realigning the future extension will not in itself
increase discharge to water; emissions to air;production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous
substances; or production of noise. However construction of the future roadway extension will result
in increased emissions to air due to increased vehicle traffic in the area.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
None.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants,animals,fish,or marine life?
Construction of the future roadway extension permitted by this amendment would result in removal of
vegetation and may act as a barrier to movement of wildlife between the north and south sides of the
road.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants,animals,fish,or marine life are.
None.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
The proposal should not deplete energy or natural resources?
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
None.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas
designated(or eligible or under study)for governmental protection; such as parks,wilderness,
wild and scenic rivers,threatened or endangered species habitat,historic or cultural sites,
wetlands,floodplains,or prime farmlands?
The City makes every attempt to construct roads outside of wetland, streams,and their respective
buffers.However,if a road is con t;acted and encroadiment into an environmentally sensitive area is
SEPA Environmental Checklist Page 17 of 18

PAGE
unavoidable, compliance with FWRC,Chapter 19.145,Environmentally Critical Areas and SEPA
would be required.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
See response above.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use,including whether it would
allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
This area is not within the shoreline master program area.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
None.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and
utilities?
Future construction of a road along the proposed new alignment,allowed by this amendment,will not
increase demands on transportation since the east-west link already exists within the Comprehensive
Plan.The amendment is to move the road southward.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s)are:
None.
7. Identify,if possible,whether the proposal may conflict with local,state,or federal laws or
requirements for the protection of the environment.
The proposed comprehensive plan amendment does not conflict with local,state,or federal laws or
requirements for the protection of the envirorunent.

Good Morning Margaret,
We have received the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to realign the extension of South 324`h Street East of 1-5.After
reviewing the project, it will impact our 14" High Pressure Pipe Line that needs to be protected in that area. I have
attached a map showing the approximate location of the 14" Olympic Pipe Line and our General Design and
Construction Standards(GDCS). If you can meet our GDCS it will expedite the approval process.
Please note: Our Third Party Request (TPR) number is in the subject line so we can readily reference the project when
we are contacted.
Thank you,

Subject: Comments, File No. 18-105898-00-SE
Brian Davis, Director of Community Development, City of Federal Way (e-mail Margaret
Clark cityoffederalway.com):
I am aggrieved by the City of Federal Way determination of Nonsignificance (File No. 18-
105898-00-SE) the extension of proposed South 324th Street to Weyerhaeuser Way South with
the elimination of the connection to 32end Avenue South for the following reasons at this
point:
1-Subjecting Weyerhaeuser Way South to approximately 5,000 vehicles per day (p.14) does
not recognize the traffic dispersion incorporated into the 2015 Comprehensive Plan utilizing
both 32end Ave. S. (to S.320th and North) and Weyerhaeuser Way S. (via S 323rd Street). Under
the proposed determination all of the increased traffic volume of 5,000 vehicles will go onto
Weyerhaeuser Way South instead of being dispersed both onto Weyerhaeuser Way South and
32end Ave. South and its extension north. In addition the 2015 Comprehensive Plan did not
recognized the proposed developments of DaVita and Industrial Reality Group's permit
estimates to be initially 7,000 additional vehicles and 800 trucks per day.
2-Relative to the SEPA Environmental Check List item 8. b., forest land use has been practiced
on the proposed street extension consistent with 1994 Concomitant Agreement requiring a
"Managed Forest Buffer" around the perimeter of the property.
3- Check list item 12. b. statement that the extension of S.324th street would "not displace any
existing recreational use is challenged given the depiction of a trail in the City of Federal Way's
"Weyerhaeuser Headquarters Site Conditions and Considerations" document, January 2015.

Re: Comments on Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Realign the Extension of South 324th Street
East of I-5(Non-Project Action)File No: 18-105898-00-SE
Dear Mr. Davis,
We generally favor the proposed realignment of the South 324th Street extension east of Interstate 5,
although we have concerns about the increased traffic that will be funneled to Weyerhaeuser Way.
But city officials have told us that this proposed realignment will support DaVita's plan to create a
campus with a new office building that will bring well-payingjobs to the city. This is the type of
development that Save Weyerhaeuser Campus has been advocating as appropriate for the area east of
Interstate 5 that includes the historic Weyerhaeuser campus.
However, in reviewing the SEPA checklist for this non-project action,we have these comments:
1. The proposed road should not eliminate the forested buffer that is required around the perimeter of the
CP-I property, under the terms of the 1994 concomitant zoning agreement. The CZA does not specify
reduction of the buffer when a new road is constructed.The buffer should remain 50 feet on the north CP-
1 zone boundary and 100 feet along I-5, including future ramps.
2. If the Llterstate 5 off-ramps are constructed,the South 324th Street extension should be required to
become the only access point for semi-trucks entering and exiting the CP-1 zoned property located north
of South 336th Street(currently proposed as the Greenline Business Park).
3. Section 7,Environmental Health, should specify potential arsenic contamination in the soil.The
property is within the plume zone of the now-defunct Asarco plant in Tacoma. Arsenic has been found in
nearby North Lake, and the University of Washington is continuing studies to determine if arsenic is
entering the lake from soil runoff.
4. Section 12,Recreational Use,should specify that the proposed street extension will eliminate portions
of recreational trails in the CP-1 zone that have been used be the public for more than 40 years.
5. Section 13,Historic and Cultural Preservation,should state that the historic Weyerhaeuser headquarters
building(and likely most of the landscape) are eligible for National Historic Register listing,as
determined over a year ago by the state Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation.
We may have additional comments in the future as the comprehensive plan amendment works its way
through the review/approval process.
Respectfully submitted,
Lori Sechrist

Also the other item that I am concerned about relative to File No. 18-105898-00-SE is the increased safety issue related
to the proposed intersection being located on a curve at the intersection with Weyerhaeuser Way South as compared to
a minimal curve on the connection to Weyerhaeuser Way in the Comprehensive Plan from South 323rd Street. Please

COMMISSION BUSINESS
PUBLIC HEARING:2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments/3241h Road Extension
City Traffic Engineer Perez delivered the staff presentation. He went over the proposal and its history.
The original reason for an extension of 324`h is to improve access to and from the Cite Center. As part of
the proposal, staff recommends bicycle/pedestrian access to 32"'' Brom 324" as part of'the continuation of
the BPA trail. Commissioner O'Neil asked for clarification that the city will get the land from IRG.
Engineer Perez stated that when they develop, the will give the city the land for the road(and thereby will
not have-to pay any traffic impact fees). Commissioner O'Neil asked who will pay for the road. Engineer
Perez replied that the city is working on funding. Chair Carlson opened the meeting for public testimony.
Richard Pierson—He has written comments he will submit. He is opposed to the proposed
extension. One reason is he feels it will have adverse effects on other aspects of the comprehensive
plan. He feels the existing alignment is a way to add a ring road on the east side.He commented
that to access 32'd from the proposed extension,one would have to make two left turns and a right.
Left turns lead to more accidents than right turns. He is also concerned with the safety of the
intersection of the proposed 324`'and Weyerhaeuser Way because it will be on a curve.It is not
clear how the proposed road will bisect East Campus.
Planning Commission Minutes 127 February 20,2019
Suzanne Vargo—She spoke in opposition of the proposal. She noted that the retention pond that
was put into place in the 70s will be removed and a large retention pond put on North Lake. She
does not think this is a good idea for the hydrology and environmental sensitivity of the area. We
need to leave something for the future. She also noted that the Olympic pipeline would have to be
moved and is concerned about the safety(mentioned the pipeline accident that had happened in
Whatcom County). An accident could be catastrophic for our area as these are the headwaters of
the Hylebos.
Public testimony was closed.
Commissioner O'Neil is concerned over the amount of road building that would be necessary for this
project. Can DaVita work with the city to leave the plan as it is?Engineer Perez commented that they
presently lease a building to the west and want only a parking lot between the buildings. The city was
unable to come up with an alignment that would allow this. In the current plan,the road would go right
through their proposed building. Commissioner O'Neil asked if the city will plan for a round-about at
Weyerhaeuser Way and 324'h. Engineer Perez stated the city will consider it.It would help address the
concern with left turns. He went on to say the city will be looking for some of the funding to come from
the state. It will be a multi-phase project with a cost likely of over'/4 billon. He expects it will be six to ten
years for the first phase. Commissioner O'Neil asked if the city will be moving the retention pond as
stated. Engineer Perez stated the city has no plans to move the retention pond.
Commissioner Medhurst commented that he feels the proposal will lead to a redundant road to
accommodate a developer; a road that from a traffic standpoint we don't need. Engineer Perez
commented that since staff hasn't completed an analysis for 324"',we don't know if the original plan
would be sufficient to accommodate the proposed traffic.
Commissioner Meader McCausland asked for clarification of the timing of this proposal. Why is the
proposed extension needed right now?Engineer Perez stated that DaVita has submitted their land use
plans to the city and will be unable to develop according to their plans unless the proposed extension
realignment is granted. They will abandon the project,and likely the city has a whole, if the realignment
is not'approved.The actual construction of the road likely won't happen for another ten years.
Chair Carlson asked staff to show where the Olympic pipeline runs through the city. Engineer Perez
commented that the city will have to deal with the pipeline whether this proposal is accepted or not.
Commissioner Bronson sug(,csted the Commission table until this fall until we know more about what
will happen at the crossing where 324'h crosses I-5. Deputy City Attorney Orthmann explained that since
this is a public hearing, the commission must take action as outlined in the staff report(adopt,not adopt,
no recommendation, or adopt as modified). Timing is critical for the DaVita project.
Commissioner Bronson moved and Commissioner Noble-Gulliford seconded to recommend that the
proposed amendment not be adopted. Discussion was held of how denial of the proposed amendment will
affect the DaVita project. The city doesn't have a firm timeline, but knows DaVita wants to break ground
as soon as possible. Community Development Director Davis commented that DaVita may choose not to
relocate to Federal Way if the realignment is denied. DaVita wants to consolidate their operations and
their current proposed project is the best way for them to do that. The project is not feasible with the
current road plan. He stated the proposed realignment is about connectivity and the road will remain in
the comprehensive plan whether as currently proposed or realigned. The road will be needed because
there is not enough capacity on 320'h to handle the future traffic. Chair Carlson commented that he
supports the proposal. He appreciates that the city is considering a bicycle/pedestrian route. In addition,
he feels employment opportunities should be considered. Commissioner O'Neil commented that he has
Planning Commission Minutes 128 February 20,2019
walked in the area and feels there is no"good"answer, but considering it could bring in jobs, supports the
proposal. Commissioner Bronson feels there much is going on in the area that are not certain and feels
there hasn't been enough study of the impacts. A roll-call vote was held(Carlson, no; Medhurst, no;
Bronson,yes; Elder, no;Noble-Gulliford, no; Meader McCausland, no; O'Neil,no) and the motion failed.
Commissioner Bronson moved and Commissioner Elder seconded to recommend that the proposed
amendment be adopted. There was no further discussion. The vote was held and the motion carried
(unanimous). The public hearing was closed.
PUBLIC HEARING: 2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments/Milton Road Area Legislative Rezone
Planning Manager Hansen delivered the staff report. He went over the history of the proposal. He also
explained the SEPA process, significance, and the differences between project and non-project actions.
The city received 37 comments in opposition to the proposal and two in favor. Manager Hansen gave a
summary of the cornments. He noted they deal with project issues as opposed to the non project proposal.
Project issues will be considered when a project is applied for. He noted the only change proposed is the
change to the zone(apartments are not allowed in the proposed zone). Chair Carlson opened the hearing
for public testimony.
Suzanne Vargo—She is speaking for the animals and trees/vegetation. The typography is Vashon
Till (sandy loom). She asks that the city perform an EIS for the entire area. She noted the
restoration of the Ellingson wetland has not been fulfilled and it has been two years. The city
sounds like they expect nothing to happen once the rezone takes effect. People will build more
houses once the rezone is in effect. She is concerned for the pipeline, the aquifer, and typography.
She requests the city have a hydrological critical areas assessment done.
Roger VonDoenhoff—He is against the proposal. It will lead to traffic, crime, and detrimental
environmental impacts. The city says this is a non-project action, and therefore project issues
don't matter, but the intent is to allow projects to happen. Yes,there are regulations, but the intent
is to make developments work. This is the appropriate time for us to express our concerns. The
city needs to consider all the impacts and how to mitigate them. He asks that the city consider RS
15 zoning and that the road through his property be deleted.
Mark Spaur—He gave the Assistant Piety a copy of his PowerPoint presentation to be included
with the minutes. He disagrees with what Manager Hansen said that project issues should not be
considered as part of a non-project action. Future development needs to be considered. The 1995
EIS didn't consider this area because it was not a part of Federal Way at that time. He went over a
number of regulations he feels the city did not address adequately. A number of projects have
been done in this area and the city should do a comprehensive EIS that considers all the changes.
He asks the city take into account regulations for low impact development.
Rick Beard—One of the original applicants for the proposed rezone. The Puget Sound area is in
the midst of a housing crisis. In order to keep people from homelessness, we need houses.
Building more homes will help everyone.
Lesley Roth—She lives in Brittany Lane. She is concerned with the environment and pipeline.
She suggested an updated EIS be done to consider all factors. She is not against growth, but it
needs to be done in a measured and understood way.
Pam Otteson—She lives within the rezone area. She is in favor of the proposal. When you drive down
19`x' Way South you_witl discover it ends in a barrier, like it should have gone farther. There are 19
driveways on it and the road is wide with adequate sight distance for each driveway. There are 12
driveways on Milton Road, but the road is not very wide and the driveways all have inadequate sight
distance. If the area is developed, Milton Road would be widened and there will be sidewalks.
Planning Commission Minutes 129 February 20,2019
Yuri Zaharchuk—He is opposed to the proposal. A lot of older people and kids walk and ride their
bikes on 19`x' Way South. He is concerned for their safety, They have a lot of problems with crime.
Robert Coleman—He agrees with the idea of removing the proposed minor collector from the
comprehensive plan. It will become a major through thru if it is built. There is a major school bus
stop in the area. There is a sign stating compression brakes may not be used, meaning truck traffic
is allowed.
Mary Perron—She lives near Wild Waves and sees a lot of crime. People park on the outskirts of
the park and ignore the no parking signs. She doesn't feel safe. They hang out in the cars and
drive too fast,
Darrin Beam—Punching through the road will lead to more traffic, They have a fantastic
neighborhood that would be destroyed. There is a lot of drug activity in the area. Punching the
road through will lead to more homelessness in the area.
Arnie Ellingson—One of the original applicants. He has four properties in the area. He has been
trying for five years to rezone. He wants to retire. Most of the people testifying have houses
already. They want his trees to stay to protect them from the noise.The city has an ordinance
stating that a certain number of trees must stay if the property is development. He wants to be
able to develop his land.
Edith Neether—She is one of the original applicants. She has lived in the area since 1968. She
went over the history of the area and noted she has a right to develop her property. She feels her
area is neglected. The road is dirty and traffic is very bad. She and her husband want to move.
Alex Costin—Regency Woods and Brittany Lane are one of the best kept secrets in Federal Way.
It is shielded from the noise of I-5 by the trees in the proposed rezone area. If the trees go,the
noise will become unbearable. He is also very concerned about the crime in the area. He feels he
is forced to keep loaded guns in his house due to the crime in the area.The city needs to consider
the long-term impacts. Many people have already moved out of the area because of crime and
traffic, and the rezone will only increase the problems.
Sherri Stanton—She lives in Regency Woods. She opposes the rezone. She suspects the rezone
will have a negative impact on her neighborhood. Families in the neighborhood want a safe place
to raise their kids.They want to feel the city supports them.And they want a clean environment.
Roger Swenson—He lives next to Wild Waves. He has seen a lot of wildlife in his yard(including
cougars and bears). When they redid Milton Road not long ago,they made his driveway steeper.
More work on the road will make it even steeper.This makes it hard for him and his wife to get
out of the driveway, He sees people doing drugs and has had people attempt to steal his vehicles.
Growth happens, but he is concerned with the crime it is bringing.
The public testimony was closed.
Commissioner O'Neil agrees that if the area is rezoned, people will soon begin to develop the area. He is
concerned with the infrastructure. We need to be sure we have the infrastructure to support the
development. Specifically, he is concerned if the city will be able to support the traffic and if the schools
will be able to support the influx of students. In addition,he has heard that Lloyds plans to redevelop with
multi-family, which while not in Federal Way, will send more traffic through Federal Way.
Planning Commission Minutes 130 February 20,2019
Commissioner Noble-Gulliford asked how citizens would apply to remove the proposed road from the
comprehensive plan. Engineer Perez explained the procedure. She then asked if a cluster development be
allowed. Manager Hansen responded that currently cluster development is a demonstration project in the
code. Per the current code,there would not be a change of density with a cluster development. There
would have to be a code amendment to allow a cluster development in this area.
Discussion was held about how many houses might be developed in the proposed rezone area. Staff feels
when taking constraints into consideration,up to 144 houses could be developed in the area.
Commissioner Medhurst doesn't understand why the city is pursuing a rezone of this area when the
owner(Mr. VonDoenhoff) of 20 percent of the land opposes the rezone. Manager Hansen commented
that the city is considering the long range impacts. It takes into consideration the comprehensive plan
policy of infill development. The city's analysis shows that an area zoned compatible with adjacent areas
is "protected" and will create an area in which the density is not increased. He also noted that changing
the zoning doesn't require the property to make changes.
Discussion was held in regards to the proposed 376'x' street. Engineer Perez noted that one of the concern
of the city is connectivity, which is why 376"' is shown extended. Engineer Perez has heard that Lloyd's is
interested in developing warehouses. If this happens, Federal Way would be opposed to any plans that
would send trucks to the north. The city would expect developers to improve roads to allow trucks to
travel south.
Commissioner Meader McCausland asked if there are any planned improvements to Milton Road.
Engineer Perez commented that is in the comprehensive plan to be widened to two lanes, but this is not a
high priority, so is many years away. There are many competing priorities. Commissioner Meader
McCausland would like to see an additional environmental study in this area.
Commissioner O'Neil asked if the school district has any say in the proposed rezone. Manager Hansen
replied that the city notified the school district of the proposal and they had no comment. Attorney
Orthmann commented that school impact fees will help with any impacts.
Commissioner Bronson moved and Commissioner Noble-Gulliford seconded to recommend that the
proposed amendment be adopted as proposed. There was no additional discussion. The vote was held and
the motion carried(six yes and one no). The public hearing was closed.

SUBJECT: 2019 Planning Commission Work Program
A. FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The proposed code amendments and comprehensive plan amendments will have no financial impacts
on the city budget. Completion of the amendments is contingent on staffing resources.
B. BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission's Work Program is approved every year by the City Council.This staff
report summarizes:
• Housekeeping Items Planned for Completion in 2019
Non-Housekeeping Items Planned for Completion in 2019
• Items Completed in 2018
• 2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
■ 2019 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
C. HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS PLANNED FOR COMPLETION IN 2019
The following list of items include actions to be considered, but do not necessarily include all
"housekeeping" items that may come before the Council.
Item Status
Existing code requires the city to issue a threshold determination pursuant to the State In
Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)within 30 days of issuance of a Letter of Completion,with Process
the option for a 30-day extension. This is not a requirement of cities planning under the
Growth Management Act(GMA)and it is very difficult to meet the timelines.
The purpose of a substantial development permit is to provide an approval process for any In
development with a total cost or fair market value exceeding a certain dollar amount,which Process
is recalculated every five years by the State©fee ofFinanclul Management(OFM). Tile
existing substantial development dollar threshold in the code is $5,718,but it has been
134
Land Use and Transportation Committee
2019 Planning Commission Work Program
Page 2 of 4
March 4,2019
Item Status
increased to$7,047. The code needs to be amended to reflect the new dollar amount.
The code does not differentiate between tracts created for public purposes,such as open In
space or storm drainage retention tracts, and lots. The code needs to be amended in order to Process
clarify that such public purpose tracts should not be counted as lots.
There is no language in the code to require notification of adjacent property owners within In
300 feet of a short subdivision. Short plats were increased from five to nine lots in 2007, Process
which increase could impact properties in the immediate vicinity.A related amendment
would require applicants to post the site.Existing language requires the city to post the site.
The current code requires two separate notices for an administrative variance. Only one is In
necessary. Process
Under current code, the director may permit a recreational vehicle(RV)to be used as a In
temporary dwelling on a single-family residential lot where the primary dwelling unit is Process
unsafe to occupy. This contradicts the Revised Code of Washington (RCW)35A.21.312
which prohibits jurisdictions from allowing RVs to be used as primary residential units
unless a toilet and bath is available within the RV.
The code needs to be amended to clarify that split zoning is not permitted as a result of a land In
division, creation of a tract,or land use action,etc. Process
In the Suburban Estates(SE)zone,stables require Process II review and raising animals In
require Process I review. Raising animals should be permitted outright. Process
Setbacks for schools are 50 feet for 50 or more students and 20 feet for less than 50 students In
when abutting single-family zones. This language was adopted prior to the widespread use of Process
portables and should be amended to require lesser setbacks than 50 feet.
Funeral homes are allowed under a Process 11 and"maybe"a Process III in the use zone In
charts.Language should be added to clarify that Process III is to be used when environmental Process
review(SEPA)is triggered.
Commercial day cares for 12 or fewer children require Process III and forl3-50 children In
Process IV. There is no mention of family day cares,which normally are 12 or fewer Process
attendees. The use zone charts need to clarify that family day cares are allowed outright if
they meet certain criteria.
The code should be amended to prohibit urban agriculture in the City-Center Core (C-CC), In
City-Center Frame(C-CF), Office Park(OP),or Commercial Enterprise(CE),as that use is Process
not complementary to those zones.
D. NON-HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS PLANNED FOR COMPLETION IN 2019

Item Status
Per the RCW,final plats can be approved administratively if the Not Started
jurisdiction chooses this method.
Amend the language of the sign code to make it content neutral in In Process
response to Reed v. Town of Gilbert, a United States Supreme Court Case.
Based on this case, a jurisdiction may only regulate what types of signs
are allowed,where they may be placed,and what size they can be.
The critical areas code was updated in 2015 when the state changed its In Process(part of the SMP
requirements for critical areas ordinances.The code needs to be amended Update)
to comply with changes made by the Department of Ecology(DOE)since
that time.
Continue research and amendments to the code addressing housing In Process
demand and provision of compatible and affordable housing
development.
Begin development of sub-area plans for the Sound Transit stations Not Started
planned for Federal Way. These sub-area plans could include a Transit
Oriented Development(TOD) element.
E. ITEMS COMPLETED IN 2018
• 2017 Comprehensive Plan Update.

amendment was made to notify the Department of Commerce of proposed comprehensive plan
amendments as soon as the Council directs staff to further review them,not after Planning

SUBJECT: Milton Road Area Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Legislative Rezone
MEETING DATE March 4, 2019
I. FINANCIAL IMPACT
The approval of the following proposed Code amendment will not cost the City any additional
funds, and will require no transfer of general funds for the action.
II. BACKGROUND
This is a legislative action initiated by the City Council for a comprehensive plan amendment and
rezone for 26 parcels (56.06 acres)in the Milton Road area east of I-5 (Exhibit A) from Single
Family Medium Density Residential (RS 35.0, one unit per 35,000 square feet)to Single Family
High Density Residential(RS 7.2, one unit per 7,200 square feet). If the proposed comprehensive
plan amendment is approved, appropriate zoning changes would be made concurrently.
Six owners of 13 lots (Exhibit B) in this area originally applied for a comprehensive plan amendment
for their individual properties in September 2016,requesting a change from"Medium Density Single
Family Residential"to "High Density Single Family Residential."They requested zoning of either
RS 7.2 or RS 5.0. On July 18, 2017, at the end of the City Council public hearing for"Selection"to
determine whether the requests should be considered further,the City Council gave staff direction to
contact the other property owners with RS 35.0 zoning-to find out whether they would like to join in
with the six requests. Staff notified the other 11 property owners in writing and gave them until
September 29,2017,to respond.No one responded by the deadline. However,three of these owners
indicated interest in being part of the proposal after the given deadline.
A public hearing was held by the Federal Way Planning Commission on October 25, 2017, and
they recommended denial of the separate proposals. At the Land Use and Transportation
Committee meeting on December 4, 2017,the Committee agreed with the Planning Commission
and moved the proposal to first reading by the Council. At first reading,the Council voted to
table the six requests and send them back to the Planning Commission to consider a legislative
amendment for the entire area presently zoned RS 35.0. This action neither approved nor denied
the requests,but only required them to be considered at a public hearing by the Planning.
Commission for recommendation to the Council.

plan amendments. Consistent with Process VI review,the role of the Planning Commission is as
follows:
1. To review and evaluate the requests for comprehensive plan amendments;
2. To determine whether the proposed comprehensive plan amendments meet the
criteria provided by FWRC.80.140, 19.80.150, and 19.75.130(3); and
3. To forward a recommendation to the City Council regarding adoption of the

2 Extension of South 376th Street to 19th Way South will increase traffic, Travis Geving
including dump trucks,which will tear up the roads.If the road is punched
through,he would like to see speed bumps installed. The city will need to
increase police patrol to reduce speeding. The community park will become
less safe for children and there will be an increase in vandalism and drug

use at the park.
3 Concerned about increased traffic on Milton Road between Porter Way and Brett and Pam Thomas
Milton Road. Also concerned about the safety of children and the elderly
walking in the area and bicyclists.
4 Concerned about the increase in crime if multi-family development occurs. Mike and Connie
The rezone will make traffic worse, increase gridlock, and exhaust fumes. Czerwonka
The local tot lot is where South 376th Street would be extended, so
concerned about the safety of children. Also concerned about Lloyd's
gravel trucks passing through the neighborhood.
5 If the area is rezoned,a new I-5 exit at South 375th Street should be part of Chris Givens
the traffic mitigation.
6 Opposed to extension of South 376th Street to 19"'Way South due to safety David Blake
concerns.
7 Asked for clarification on what is being proposed. Kym Moses
8 Stated that the traffic analysis assumes that 19th Way South will be extended Mark Spaur
through South 376th Street to Milton Road South and this is unacceptable
for several reasons. There will be an increase in traffic; there is a
community park at the end of 191h Way South and speeding cars will create
a safety risk for children playing in the park;the extension would have to
cross the vonDoenhoff property and the road easement no longer exists;the
road would also have to cross a wetland;traffic at the intersection of Milton
Road is already intolerable when Wild Waves is open.
9 Made two suggested changes to the environmental checklist relating to the Mark Spaur
need for additional future environmental studies related to the impacts on
surface water.
10 The comprehensive plan and the amendment process should not allow"high Roger and Jayne
density"everywhere; Spring Valley should remain relatively low density to vonDoenhoff
protect the ecologically sensitive areas,including the Hylebos.Concerned about
increased traffic and backups. Stated that the traffic analysis assumes that South
376th Street can be punched through the middle of their 20-acre parcel.
However,there are a number of reasons why this is not feasible:the road
through their property has been vacated;punching the road through would make
the southern portion of their property unusable;the road would be within 20
feet of their house and would run through a wetland;the road would increase
traffic in Brittany Lane and Regency Woods next to a children's playground
and also increase traffic in front of an assisted living facility. If the area is
rezoned,they would request RS 15.0 and not RS 7.2 or RS 5.0 zoning.
11 In the planning of new developments in the Milton Road area,the city must Mark Spaur
mandate Low Impact Development(LID)and Green Stormwater
Infrastructure(GSI)methods,such as permeable pavement for roads and
driveways,bio retention ponds and roof rainwater collection and dispersion
systems.
12 He does not believe that the statement in the environmental checklist,that Mark Spaur
the restrictive covenants of Regency Woods Division would prohibit further
division of lots,is correct.
13 Additional housing and new road infrastructure will be an additional source Sarita Breivik
of pollution collecting in stormwater. The increase in stormwater pollution
levels discharging to the Hylebos and Puget Sound will have a negative
impact on salmon and orca populations and other wildlife residing in the
area. Extension of South 376`h Street to 19th Way South will put the
residents of Brittany Lane and Regency Woods at increased risk of crime,
Milton Road Area Comprehensive Plan Amendment&LegislatkiAczone Page 3 of 3
No. Summary of Comments Names
will increase traffic through Brittany Lane and Regency Woods,and cause a
safety hazard to children playing in the park and walking to school.In
addition,additional housing would put an added strain on the schools,
negatively impacting children's education.
14 Objects to the punching through South 376th Street to 19th Way South Bob Coleman
because it would make traffic worse in the neighborhood.Traffic from
Milton Road,including Lloyd's and Port of Tacoma truck traffic and
commuter and casino will speed through the neighborhood. In addition,
tliere is a park at the southern terminus of South 19`h Way South,where the
road would be punched through.
15 Object to construction of apartments or condos,but do not object to single Kim and Scott Moses
family houses.
16 Objects to the punching through South 376th Street to 19th Way South Lily Stadnik
because it would make traffic worse in the neighborhood.Traffic from
Milton Road,including Lloyd's and Port of Tacoma truck traffic and
commuter and casino will speed through the neighborhood.In addition,
there is a community park and bus stop at the southern terminus of South
19th Way South,where the road would be punched through.In addition,the
value of homes will suffer.
17 Objects to the punching through South 376th Street to 19th Way South as it Sylvia Molzahn
will open up the neighborhood to more crime.In addition,roads and
schools are already overcrowded.It will also cause a hazard to residents,
who use the sidewalk for walking.
1.8 Increased traffic and speeds of traffic in the neighborhood would create a Monica Hirano
safety hazard and detract from the character of the neighborhood.
19 Have concerns about increased exhaust from increased traffic.Also Betty Latham
connecting South 376th Street and 19th Way South would increase traffic,
making it unsafe for children to ride their bike,neighbors who walk for
exercise,and children who play in the park.
20 Concerns about traffic impacts on the roadways and intersections adjacent Sarita Breivik
to the proposed rezone area,which are already at and above capacity.The
backups affect state highways and increase response time for emergency
vehicles and personnel.
21 States that the schools are already overcrowded;has concerns about Kathy Walton
increased traffic; and the assumption that South 376th Street would be
extended to Milton Road South as there is a park there and the extension
will create a safety hazard.In addition,increased traffic would detract from
the character of the neighborhood and increased building will result in the
cutting down of trees in the beautiful forest that helps mitigate noise
pollution from 1-5.
22 Concerns about increased traffic,overcrowding of schools,and the type of Maksim Tomilov
housing,whether apartments or houses,will be built
23 Rcclue is that tlic transporlation impact analysis be changed to not include Lesley Roth
the connection of'South X76`' Street and 19th Way South due to increased
traffic and the presence of children playing in the park.Also has a concern
that representatives from the fire,police,and public schools have not
commented on the impact to their services. She would like to know their
plans for absorbing the growth in this area.
24 Connecting South 376th Street and 19"'Way South will destroy their way of Alex Costine
life,will drastically lower house prices,will be extremely dangerous to
Milton Road Area Comprehensive Plan Amendment&LegislatkiWeon, Page 4 of 4
No. Summary of Comments Names
children and elderly people in the neighborhood,and turn the quiet
neighborhood surrounded by beautiful trees into a smog-filled area. It will
also increase traffic,including semi-trucks going to the Port of Tacoma and
bring potentially dangerous people going to gamble at the casino into their
neighborhood.

31 Connecting South 376`h Street and 19`h Way South will make the Daniel Zaharchuk
neighborhood less safe,increase noise,increase traffic,and impact people
walking with their families and kids riding their bikes.
32 Concerns about increased traffic and safety. Yonas Ocubazghi
33 Opposes the extension of 19`h Way South to Milton Road because it will Sheri Stanton
have a negative impact on the livability of Brittany Lane and Regency
Woods and it would cut through an identified wetland.A reasonable
compromise would be to rezone the parcels but require the developer to
leave a natural green buffer between the redeveloped lots and Brittany lane
Ito mitigate pollution and noise.
34 States that the wetland on the Ellingson property needs to be restored; Suzanne Vargo
questions whether portions of the site has Everett Gravelly Sandy Loam
(EvC)soil; states that the zoning must remain low density due to the soil
make up; concerned about impacts on wetlands and their buffers if single
family homes are built,which are exempt from review under the State
Environmental Policy Act(SEPA);concerned about removal of trees due to
their buffering effect for air and noise from 1-5;requests a full study of
birds and mammals in a three-mile radius of the proposed rezone area;
requests that it be investigated whether this area is a key resting spot for
migrating birds; concerned about the impacts on wildlife; states that this
area is affected by the Tacoma Smelter Plume;concerned about the impacts
of construction equipment on the aging Olympic Pipeline,which runs
parallel to I-5 on the east,west of Milton Road South;the city needs to
develop an emergency plan to address these issues;and concerned that the
removal of trees will increase the noise impacts from jets.
35 The 1995 Environmental Impact Statement(EIS)did not analyze impacts in Mark Spaur
this area as it had not yet been annexed by the city.He believes that it is
time for the city to do another EIS that includes the areas annexed by the
city since 1995,includes the Hylebos Watershed,includes the city's new
vision for transit and development,and use the EIS process as intended to
weigh the cumulative impacts of proposed development on the
environment.
36 Concerns about whether the376th bridge and 19`h Way South/South 376`h Matthew and AnnDU
Streets were built for heavy traffic and commercial trucks. Also concerned Do
Milton Road Area Comprehensive Plan Amendment&Legislat ezone Page 5 of 5

about potential future traffic impacting the Brittany Lane park and the
senior living facility south of South 376`h Street.
37 States that even though a legislative comprehensive plan amendment and Mark Spaur
rezone are non-project actions,guidance from the Department of Ecology is
that when a non-project action involves a comprehensive plan or similar
proposal governing future project development,the probable environmental
impacts associated with future development need to be considered.He also
states that additional stormwater analysis should be done to evaluate
impacts on the Hylebos Watershed and that future development should
utilize Lora Impact Development(LID)/Green Stormwater Infrastructure
(GSI)methods. Ile is also requesting that the South 3760'Extension to 20`h
Way South be removed from the Comprehensive Plan as part of this
process.
38 They are requesting an Environmental Impact Statement be done;would Diane and Melinda
like a traffic study be prepared to address the impacts of Wild Waves during Evans
peak season and the impact associated with the Lloyd's gravel trucks on I-5
and Highway 99; are concerned about impacts on the senior housing to the
south,and safety for children waiting for the school bus,walking,or riding
bikes.Also concerned about protecting the wetlands,woods, and wildlife.
Citizens in Favor of the Change
Two citizens were in favor of the change(Table II).Although,no written comments were
received from the original six applicants, it is assumed that they would be in favor of the change.
No. Summary of Comments Names
I They are in favor of the comprehensive plan amendment and rezone to RS Loren and Shannon
5.0(single family,one unit per 5,000 square feet)because there is a need Neighbors
for middle class housing near to good mass transit.
2 They are in support because they believe that growth is imperative to Michael and
ensure the local community stays on pace with the progressive and Genipher Owens
economic growth of the larger community and believe that any
inconvenience growth may cause will be far outshined by the benefits to
the community.However,they are concerned that the School District did
not comment on the impact such a growth will have on the already
undelperforming schools.
VI. COMPLIANCE WITH FWRC 19.80.140 AND 19.80.150
1. FWRC 19.80.140, Factors to be Considered in a Comprehensive Plan Amendment—The city
may consider,but is not limited to,the following factors when considering a proposed
amendment to the comprehensive plan.
(1) The effect upon the physical environment.
There should be no adverse impact on the physical environment related to development
of this area, regardless of zoning as the city has adopted codes in place to protect the
environment.
Milton Road Area Comprehensive Plan Amendment&LegislatWiezone Page 6 of 6
Aquifer Recharge Areas (Groundwater)
Federal Way is dependent on groundwater as a source of drinking water. Water from
rainfall, snowmelt, lakes, streams, and wetlands seeps into the ground and collects in
porous areas of rock, sand,and gravel called aquifers.Aquifers hold varying amounts of
groundwater that can be extracted or pumped for use. Groundwater pumped from
Lakehaven Water and Sewer District wells originates from three aquifer systems that
underlie the city: the Redondo-Milton Channel Aquifer,the Intermediate Aquifer System
(Mirror Lake and Eastern Upland Aquifers), and the Deep Aquifer/
Wetlands
The city's Critical Area Map identifies three Category II wetlands in this area, one on
parcels 322104-9136 (number 11 in Table II), 322104-9036 (number 9 in Table II), and
322104-9138 (number 10 in Table II,Ellingson). One on the southern portion of parcel
322104-9063 (number 20 in Table II, vonDoenhoff), and one on parcels 322104-9001
(number 18 in Table II, Kaprosky) and 721266-1090 (number 22 in Table 11, City of
Federal Way). These appear to be Category Il wetlands with 105-foot wide buffers. There
also appears to be another wetland on portions of parcels 322104-9050 (number 12 in
Table I, Ellingson), 322104-9126 (number 16 in Table 11, Semenyuk), and 322104-9063
(number 20 in Table II, vonDoenhoff). The city's wetland consultant has identified this
wetland as a Category III wetland with a 60-foot wide buffer. Any future development
within 225 feet of these wetlands will require a critical area study to be approved by the
city. This must include a wetland classification and buffer determination under the city's
current wetland rating system.
The site is located within the Hylebos Creek Basin and Conservation Flow Control Area.
Any water-related or erosion-related impacts associated with future development must be
mitigated in compliance with the city-adopted 2016 KCSWM and the City of Federal
Way Addendum. This requires any erosion-related impacts created during clearing and
construction activities,to be addressed according to a Temporary Erosion Sedimentation
Control Plan(TESL), which is a standard part of engineering review and approval.
(2) The effect on open space, streams, and lakes.
Please refer to responses under Section V.1 (1)above.
(3) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods.
There are 26 parcels,totaling approximately 56.06 acres,with 18 different property
owners designated Single Family Medium Density Residential and Single Family(RS
35.0, one unit per 35,000 square feet) in this area.There should be no impact to
surrounding land uses as to the north is the SeaTac Rest Area; Enchanted Park/Wild
Waves Amusement Park is located to the northeast; a retirement home, The Meridian at
Stone Creek, and vacant land is located to the south;Brittany Lane/Regency Woods,
Division II is located to the east; and Milton Road South and I-5 are located to the west.
Any higher density development to the north of South 376`h Street would require
upgrading South 376`h Street and Milton Road South to urban road standards,including
the construction of sidewalks, making for a safer walking environment.
(4) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads,public
transportation,parks, recreation, and schools.
Milton Road Area Comprehensive Plan Amendment&Legislat ezone Page 7 of 7
All public utilities, except sewer and stormwater facilities,are available to these parcels.
The parcels are presently on septic, and the nearest existing sewer system facilities
intended to ultimately serve this area are approximately 1,100 feet southeast of parcel
322104-9050. The parcels are accessed by Milton Road South, South 372nd Street,and
South 376`h Street. If a comprehensive plan amendment and rezone from Single Family
Medium Density Residential and Single Family(RS 35.0, one unit per 35,000 square
feet)to Single Family High Density Residential and Single family(RS 7.2, one unit per
7,200 square feet) is approved, Milton Road South, currently a rural road, will have to be
improved to urban standards. The easterly curve of Milton Road South in the 37200
block does not meet current standards. It would either have to be realigned or a
roundabout constructed.
There are a wide variety of recreational opportunities in the city. These opportunities
include Dash Point State Park(a 398-acre state park on the west side of the city, operated
and maintained by Washington State Parks); Celebration Park(an 84-acre city-owned
community park located approximately in the middle of the city with ballfields and
walking trails); Town Square Park(a four acre city-owned community park located in the
City Center); and recreation trails in the Bonneville Power Administration right-of-way.
There are also a number of other parks and open space areas scattered throughout the city;
however,there are no existing recreational facilities east of 1-5 in this immediate vicinity,
except for the Enchanted Park/Wild Waves Amusement Park, located to the northeast.
City codes require provision of on-site open space, or a fee-iii-lieu of open space,when
land is subdivided for single-family uses. If the parcels are developed with single-family
homes in the future, impacts on schools should be mitigated by the payment of a school
impact fee. The 2019 school impact fee is $7,221 per single family dwelling unit.
(5) The benefit to the neighborhood, city, and region.
There are 26 parcels,totaling approximately 56.06 acres,with 18 different property
owners designated Single Family Medium Density Residential and Single Family(RS
35.0, one unit per 35,000 square feet) in this area. According to an August 23, 2017,
article in the Seattle Times, for the first time ever,the median King County home price
has grown more than$100,000 in just a year.The new median price was $658,000 or
$103,000 more than the previous July, according to monthly data released by the
Northwest Multiple Listing Service. In southwest King County,the median price for a
single family house was$385,250 at that time, up 11.7 percent from the previous year.
Prices have since levelled off. However, a major reason for high housing prices is the
lack of supply of housing; therefore,providing more opportunities for single family
housing will benefit the city and region
(6) The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and
the demand for such land.
Approval of this request could result in 160 additional single-family units. Federal Way
has a housing target of 8,100 new residential units over a 25 year period(2006-2031). At
the time that the last capacity analysis was completed(December 2012),the city had
capacity for 8,443 new residential units made up of 2,412 detached single-family homes
and 6,030 multi-family units. The capacity for 4,880 of those 6,030 multi-family units
was located in mixed-use development zones, and 1,151 units were located in multi-
family zones.Based on this data,there appears to be a need for additional capacity for
single-family homes.
Milton Road Area Comprehensive Plan Amendment&Legislatkikezone Page 8 of 8
(7) The current and projected population density in the area.
There are 21 single family units on approximately 56.06 acres,which results in a density
of approximately 0.4 units per acre. If a request for a change in comprehensive plan and
zoning designation to Single Family High Density Residential and Single Family(RS 7.2,
one unit per 7,200 square feet)is granted,this would result in a density of approximately
four units per acre. However, due to the presence of wetlands, and the need for future
streets to meet block perimeter requirements, future density is estimated to be
approximately three units per acre. Cluster development may create higher densities in
some areas,but such development would result in large open spaces making it
comparable with adjacent lands.
(8) The effect upon other aspects of the comprehensive plan.
Approval of RS 7.2 zoning will not affect other aspects of the comprehensive plan.
2. FWRC 19.80.150, Criteria for Amending the Comprehensive Plan—The city may amend the
comprehensive plan only if it finds that:
(1) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare;
Changing the designation from Single Family Medium Density Residential and Single
Family(RS 35.0, one unit per 35,000 square feet)to Single Family High Density
Residential and Single-Family(RS 7.2, one unit per 7,200 square feet)does have a
substantial relationship to public health, or safety in that smaller lots may result in more
housing at less cost, which bears a substantial relationship to the welfare of that segment
of the population that may be struggling to find affordable housing.
(2) The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
Please see responses under Sections V(1)(5) and V(2)(1).
(3) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW
and with the portion of the city's adopted plan not affected by the amendments.
The comprehensive plan amendment and rezone under consideration is consistent with the
following goals of RCW Chapter 36.70A.020(2)of the Growth Management Act(GMA):
"(i) Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate
public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner.
"(ii) Reduce sprawl.Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped
land into sprawling, low-density development.
"(iii) Housing. Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all
economic segments of the population of this state,promote a variety of
residential densities and housing types, and encourage preservation of
existing housing stock."
Milton Road Area Comprehensive Plan Amendment&Legislat' ezone Page 9 of 9
The proposal is also consistent with the following policies of the comprehensive plan:
"LUP 8 Designate and zone land to provide for Federal Way's share of
regionally adopted demand forecasts for residential, commercial, and
industrial uses for the next 20 years.
"HP 15 As appropriate,reduce minimum lot sizes to allow construction of
smaller, detached single-family houses on smaller lots.
"HP 16 Increase capacity and encourage greater diversity of housing types and
costs for both infill and new development through various methods,
such as inclusionary zoning, density bonuses, and transfer of
development rights, cluster housing, cottage housing, garden housing,
duplexes, and low to moderate density housing types.
VII. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
At a public hearing on February 20, 2019,the Planning Commission heard a staff presentation
presented by the Community Development staff and subsequent public comments regarding the
proposal. Residents from the adjacent Regency Woods community provided testimony to deny
the proposal; citing potential increase in crime,traffic, and degradation to the environment.
Residents in the area of the proposed change spoke in favor. After considerable deliberation,the
Planning Commission voted to move the Mayor's proposal to the City Council with
recommendation for approval. The vote was six Commissioners recommending approval of the
proposal with one Commissioner voting against the recommendation.
VIII. CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Consistent with the provisions of FWRC 19.80.240,the City Council may take the following
actions regarding the proposed comprehensive plan amendment and rezone request:
1. Approve the comprehensive plan amendment as proposed;
2. Approve the amendment with further amendments; or
3. Deny the proposed comprehensive plan amendment;
4. Refer the proposal back to the planning commission for further proceedings.
IX. MAYOR'S RECOMMENDATION
After consideration of the staff analysis and options available for action(approval, approval with
modification, or denial),the Mayor recommends that the proposed amendments as presented to
the Planning Commission and the Land Use and Transportation Committee be approved.

types and costs for both infill and new development through
various methods, such as inclusionary zoning, density
bonuses, and transfer of development rights, cluster housing,

moderate density housing types.
(d) The Proposed Amendment is consistent with the Council vision for the City of Federal
Way, and will allow development that is compatible with the surrounding land uses.

TO: Wayne Carlson,Federal Way Planning Commission Chair
FROM: Brian Davis, Community Development Director ,.
Robert"Doc'Hansen, Planning Manager
Margaret H. Clark,AICP,Principal Planner MA'
SUBJECT: Public Hearing—2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments,Milton Road Area
Legislative Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone
MEETING DATE: February20,2019
I. BACKGROUND
Pursuant to RCW 36.70A(2)(a),the City of Federal Way may update its comprehensive plan
annually. Per Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.80.050, the city has elected to review
citizen-initiated requests on an annual basis. As part of the annual review, the city may also make
changes to chapters and maps of the comprehensive plan.The governing body shall consider all
proposals concurrently so that the cumulative effect of the various proposals can be ascertained.
This proposal was initiated by the City Council to have the Planning Commission make a
recommendation to amend the comprehensive plan and zoning for properties along Milton Road
South and 376t`Street from Single Family Medium Density(RS 35.0, one unit per 35,000 square
feet) to Single Family High Density(RS 7.2, one unit per 7,200 square feet).The comprehensive
plan amendment and rezone would permit the same residential density as the adjacent properties
to the east of the proposed amendment area.
11. REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
FWRC Chapter 19.80, "Council Rezones," establishes a process and criteria for comprehensive
plan amendments. Consistent with Process VI review,the role of the Planning Commission is as
follows:
1. To review and evaluate the requests for comprehensive plan amendments;
2. To determine whether the proposed comprehensive plan amendments meet the
criteria provided by FWRC.80.140, 19.80.150, and 19.75.130(3); and
Planning Commission Staff Report February 9,2019

IV. Milton Road Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone,Files 18-105523-SE and
18-104618-UP
Background
This is a legislative action initiated by the City Council for a comprehensive plan amendment and
rezone for 26 parcels (56.06 acres) in the Milton Road area east of I-5 (Exhibit C) from Single
Family Medium Density Residential(RS 35.0, one unit per 35,000 square feet)to Single Family
High Density Residential (RS 7.2, one unit per 7,200 square feet). If the proposed comprehensive
plan amendment is approved, appropriate zoning changes would be made concurrently.
Six owners of 13 lots (Numbers 1-13 in Table I)in this area originally applied for a
comprehensive plan amendment for their individual properties in September 2016,requesting a
change from"Medium Density Single Family Residential"to"High Density Single Family
Residential" (Exhibit D). They requested rezones of either RS 7.2 or RS 5.0. They were selected
by the City Council "to be considered further"on July 18, 2017. This action neither approved nor
denied the requests, but only required them to be considered at a public hearing by the Planning
Commission for recommendation to the Council.The Council also directed the staff to contact
adjacent property owners in the Area now being considered to determine if they wished to be added
to the six original requests. Three of these owners indicated interest in being part of the proposal
after the given deadline. A public hearing was held by the Federal Way Planning Commission on
October 25, 2017, and they recommended denial of the separate proposals.At the Land Use and
Transportation Committee meeting on December 4, 2017,the Committee agreed with the Planning
Commission and moved the proposal to first readirig by the Council. At first reading,the Council
voted to table the six requests and send them back to the Planning Commission to consider a
legislative amendment for the entire area presently zoned RS 35.0.Please refer to Exhibit E for a
detailed timeline.
Refer to Exhibit B—Agencies that were sent a copy of the DNS and environmental checklist.

If the area is rezoned to RS 7.2,the owners would then be able to apply for subdivisions or other
Allowable development activity.Any of these Actions would have to be reviewed and approved by
the city.
The locations of the 26 lots that are included in the legislative comprehensive plan and rezone area
are shown on Exhibit F, and are described below:

Fire/Emergency/ These services are provided by South King Fire and Rescue. Development in
Medical: this area will increase demand for fire protection services. South King Fire and
Rescue's strategic plans address this need,and increased revenue from
property taxes is expected to fund these services.
Schools: This parcel is located within the boundaries of the Federal Way School
District,who had no comment since this is a non-project action.
Topography
The area has a flat to rolling terrain. The steepest slope on the site is approximately 42 percent
located on the western portion of parcel 322104-9036 (number 9 on Table I), between Milton
Road and the on-site wetland.
Critical Areas
The city's Critical Area Map (Exhibit F) identifies three Category II wetlands in this area, one on
parcels 322104-9136 (number 11 in Table II), 322104-9036 (number 9 in Table II), and 322104-
9138 (number 10 in Table H, Ellingson). One on the southern portion of parcel 322104-9063
(number 20 in Table II, vonDoenhoff),and one on parcels 322104-9001 (number 18 in Table U,
Kaprosky) and 721266-1090 (number 22 in Table 11, City of Federal Way).These appear to be
Category 11 wetlands with 105-foot wide buffers.There also appears to be another wetland on
portions of parcels 322104-9050 (number 12 in Table I, Ellingson), 322104-9126 (number 16 in
Table I,,Semenyuk), and 322104-9063 (number 20 in Table II, vonDoenhoff).The city's wetland
consultant has identified this wetland as a Category III wetland with a 60-foot wide buffer.
Drainage
These parcels are located within the Hylebos Creek Basin and Conservation Flow Control Area.
The city does not have a stormwater system in the area, only roadside ditches that connect to
existing wetlands and drain into other low areas. Any water-related impacts associated with future
development must be mitigated in compliance with the city-adopted 2016 King County Surface
Water Manual(KC SWM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the Manual.
Access
Milton Road South runs north to south and serves the majority of the parcels. South 3761'Street
runs east west and serves five parcels(Exhibit Q.
Potential Traffic Impacts
This is a non-project action associated with changing the comprehensive plan designation and
zoning from Single Family Medium Density Residential and Single Family(RS 35.0, one unit per
35,000 square feet)to Single Family High Density Residential and Single family(RS 7.2, one
unit per 7,200 square feet). This non-project action by itself does not affect traffic.
Any proposals that may result from a decision on the legislative rezone and comprehensive plan
amendments will be subject to future review for compliance with all codes. Specifically,any future
development,regardless of zoning,would be required to construct street improvements consistent
with the planned roadway cross-sections as shown in Map III-4(Cross Section Application by
Street, Exhibit I) and Table III-10(Capital Improvement Program[CIP]—2016-2040) of Chapter 3
of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP), except single family development may apply to
the Public Works Director to modify,defer, or waive the required improvements.
Planning Commission Staff Report February 9,2019
2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments/Milton Area Legislative Rezone Page 5 of 16
182
New streets or street connections are only required to be constructed if the adjacent property develops.
A Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) was conducted to determine the required street
improvements. The applicant would be expected to construct improvements on the following streets
to the city's planned roadway cross-sections:
■ Milton Road South is a Principal Collector planned as a Type "P" street.However,the
proposed zone change would change that to a Type "O" street (Exhibit J), consisting of a
34-foot street with curb and gutter, 6-foot planter strips with street trees, 8-foot sidewalks,
and street lights in a 68-foot right-of-way. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, 4 feet of
right-of-way dedication and half street improvements are required on each side developed,
as measured from the street centerline OR far side edge of travel way.Depending on the
location of any local access streets, left-tum lanes may be required at site access points,
adding 12 feet to the roadway cross-section.The easterly curve in the 37200 block does not
meet current standards and should be realigned. Another alternative would be to construct a
site access intersection at this location, controlled by a roundabout.
■ South 376`h Street is a Minor Collector planned as a Type"S" street (Exhibit K), consisting
of a 36-foot street with curb and gutter, 4-foot planter strips with street trees, 5-foot
sidewalks, and street lights in a 60-foot right-of-way. Assuming a symmetrical cross
section,no right-of-way dedication will be necessary,but half street improvements are
required as measured from the street centerline OR far side edge of travel way.
■ Internal street(s) shall be Type"S" (Exhibit K), "U" (Exhibit L), or"W" (Exhibit M)local
streets, consisting of a 36-, 32-, or 28-foot street,respectively, with curb and gutter, 4-foot
planter strips with street trees, 5-foot sidewalks and street lights in a 60-, 56-, or 52-foot
right-of-way, respectively, depending on the number of lots served. Future development
shall meet block perimeter requirements of 1,320 feet for non-motorized access, and 2,640
feet for streets
V. COMPLIANCE WITH FWRC 19.80.140 AND 19.80.150
1. FWRC 19.80.140, Factors to be Considered in a Comprehensive Plan Amendment—The city
may consider,but is not limited to,the following factors when considering a proposed
amendment to the comprehensive plan.
(1) The effect upon the physical environment.
There should be no adverse impact on the physical environment related to development
of this area, regardless of zoning as the city has adopted codes in place to protect the
environment.
Aquifer Recharge Areas (Groundwater)
Federal Way is dependent on groundwater as a source of drinking water. Water from
rainfall, snowmelt,lakes, streams, and wetlands seeps into the ground and collects in
porous areas of rock, sand, and gravel called aquifers. Aquifers hold varying amounts of
groundwater that can be extracted or pumped for use. Groundwater pumped from
Planning Commission Staff Report February 9,2019
2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments/Milton Area Legislative Rezone Page 6 of 16
183
Lakehaven Water and Sewer District wells originates from three aquifer systems that
underlie the city: the Redondo-Milton Channel Aquifer,the Intermediate Aquifer System
(Mirror Lake and Eastern Upland Aquifers), and the Deep Aquifer(Map IX-1,Exhibit 1V)
The locations of wellhead capture zones in relationship to the aquifer systems-are shown
on Map 1X-2 (Exhibit O).There are no Wellhead Protection Zones in this area, so there
should be no impact on Lakehaven's wells.
Map IX-3 (Exhibit P)shows Areas Susceptible to Groundwater Contamination associated
with development.This map shows that the majority of the city, including this area,has a
medium susceptibility to groundwater contamination.
Wetlands
The city's Critical Area Map (Exhibit F) identifies three Category II wetlands in this area,
one on parcels 322104-9136 (number 11 in Table H), 322104-9036 (number 9 in Table Il),
and 322104-9138 (number 10 in Table 11, Ellingson). One on the southern portion of
parcel 322104-9063 (number 20 in Table 11, vonDoenhoff), and one on parcels 322104-
9001 (number 18 in Table II, Kaprosky) and 721266-1090 (number 22 in Table H, City of
Federal Way). These appear to'be Category II wetlands with 105-foot wide buffers. There
also appears to be another wetland on portions of parcels 322104-9050 (number 12 in
Table I,Ellingson), 322104-9126 (number 16 in Table H, Semenyuk), and 322104-9063
(number 20 in Table II, vonDoenhoff). The city's wetland consultant has identified this
wetland as a Category III wetland with a 60-foot wide buffer. Any future development
within 225 feet of these wetlands will require a critical area study to be approved by the
city. This must include a wetland classification and buffer determination under the city's
current wetland rating system.
The site is located within the Hylebos Creek Basin and Conservation Flow Control Area.
Any water-related or erosion-related impacts associated with future development must be
mitigated in compliance with the city-adopted 2016 KCSWM and the City of Federal
Way Addendum. This requires any erosion-related impacts created during clearing and
construction activities, to be addressed according to a Temporary Erosion Sedimentation
Control Plan(TESL), which is a standard part of engineering review and approval.
(2) The effect on open space, streams, and lakes.
Please refer to responses under Section V.1 (1) above.
(3) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods.
There are 26 parcels, totaling approximately 56.06 acres, with 18 different property
owners designated Single Family Medium Density Residential and Single Family(RS
35.0, one unit per 35,000 square feet)in this area.There should be no impact to
surrounding land uses as to the north is the SeaTac Rest Area; Enchanted Park/Wild
Waves Amusement Park is located to the northeast; a retirement home, The Meridian at
Stone Creek, and vacant land is located to the south;Brittany Lane/Regency Woods,
Division II is located to the east; and Milton Road South and I-5 are located to the west.
Any higher density development to the north of South 376`h Street would require
upgrading South 376`x' Street and Milton Road South to urban road standards, including
the construction of sidewalks, making for a safer walking environment.
Planning Commission Staff Report February 9,2019
2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments/Milton Area Legislative Rezone Page 7 of 16
184
(4) The adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities, roads,public
transportation,parks, recreation, and schools.
All public utilities, except sewer and stormwater facilities,are available to these parcels.
The parcels are presently on septic, and the nearest existing sewer system facilities
intended to ultimately serve this area are approximately 1,100 feet southeast of parcel
322104-9050 (number 12 on Table I, Exhibit F). The parcels are accessed by Milton
Road South, South 372nd Street, and South 376"'Street.If a comprehensive plan
amendment and rezone from Single Family Medium Density Residential and Single
Family(RS 35.0, one unit per 35,000 square feet)to Single Family High Density
Residential and Single family(RS 7.2, one unit per 7,200 square feet)is approved,Milton
Road South, currently a rural road, will have to be improved to urban standards. The
easterly curve of Milton Road South in the 37200 block does not meet current standards.
It would either have to be realigned or a roundabout constructed.
There are a wide variety of recreational opportunities in the city (Exhibit Q). These
opportunities include Dash Point State Park (a 398-acre state park on the west side of the
city, operated and maintained by Washington State Parks); Celebration Park(an 84-acre
city-owned community park located approximately in the middle of the city with ballfields
and walking trails); Town Square Park(a four acre city-owned community park located in
the City Center); and recreation trails in the Bonneville Power Administration right-of-
way. As shown on Map VI-4, there are also a number of other parks and open space areas
scattered throughout the city; however,there are no existing recreational facilities east of
I-5 in this immediate vicinity, except for the Enchanted Park/Wild Waves Amusement
Park, located to the northeast.
City codes require provision of on-site open space, or a fee-in-lieu of open space, when
land is subdivided for single-family uses. If the parcels are developed with single-family
homes in the future, impacts on schools should be mitigated by the payment of a school
y impact fee. The 2019 school impact fee is $7,221 per single family dwelling unit.
(S) The benefit to the neighborhood, city, and region.
There are 26 parcels,totaling approximately 56.06 acres, with 18 different property
owners designated Single Family Medium Density Residential and Single Family(RS
35.0, one unit per 35,000 square feet)in this area. According to an August 23,2017,
article in the Seattle Times, for the first time ever,the median King County home price
has grown more than$100,000 in just a year. The new median price was $658,000 or
$103,000 more than the previous July, according to monthly data released by the
Northwest Multiple Listing Service. In southwest King County,the median price for a
single family house was $385,250 at that time,up 11.7 percent from the previous year.
Prices have since levelled off.However, a major reason for high housing prices is the
lack of supply of housing; therefore, providing more opportunities for single family
housing would also benefit the city and region
(6) The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and
the demand for such land.
Approval of this request could result in 160 additional single-family units. Federal Way
Planning Commission Staff Report February 9,2019
2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments/Milton Area Legislative Rezone Page 8 of 16
185
has a housing target of 8,100 new residential units over a 25 year period(2006-2031).At
the time that the last capacity analysis was completed(December 2012),the city had
capacity for 8,443 new residential units made up of 2,412 detached single-family homes
and 6,030 multi-family units. The capacity for 4,880 of those 6,030 multi-family units
was located in mixed-use development zones, and 1,151 units were located in multi-
family zones. Based on this data,there appears to be a need for additional capacity for
single-family homes.
(7) The current and projected population density in the area.
There are 21 single family units on approximately 56.06 acres,which results in a density
of approximately 0.4 units per acre. If a request for a change in comprehensive plan and
zoning designation to Single Family High Density Residential and Single Family(RS 7.2,
one unit per 7,200 square feet)is granted, this would result in a density of approximately
four units per acre. However, due to the presence of wetlands, and the need for future
streets to meet block perimeter requirements, future density is estimated to be
approximately three units per acre.
(8) The effect upon other aspects of the comprehensive plan.
Approval of RS 7.2 zoning should not affect other aspects of the comprehensive plan.
2. FWRC 19.80.150, Criteria for Amending the Comprehensive Plan—The city may amend the
comprehensive plan only if it finds that:
(1) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare;
Changing the designation from Single Family Medium Density Residential and Single
Family(RS 35.0, one unit per 35,000 square feet)to Single Family High Density
Residential and Single-Family(RS 7.2, one unit per 7,200 square feet)does have a
substantial relationship to public health, or safety in that smaller lots may result in more
housing at less cost, which bears a substantial relationship to the welfare of that segment
of the population that may be struggling to find affordable housing.
(2) The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
Please see responses under Sections V(1) (5) and V(2) (1).
(3) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW
and with the portion of the city's adopted plan not affected by the amendments.
The comprehensive plan amendment and rezone under consideration is consistent with the
following goals of RCW Chapter 36.70A.020 (2) of the Growth Management Act(GMA):
"(i) Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate
public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient
manner.
"(ii) Reduce sprawl. Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped
Planning Commission Staff Report February 9,2019
2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments/Milton Area Legislative Rezone Page 9 of 16
186
land into sprawling, low-density development.
"(iii) Housing. Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all
economic segments of the population of this state,promote a variety of
residential densities and housing types, and encourage preservation of
existing housing stock."
The proposal is also consistent with the following policies of the comprehensive plan:
"LUT 8 Designate and zone land to provide for Federal Way's share of
regionally adopted demand forecasts for residential, commercial, and
industrial uses for the next 20 years.
"HP15 As appropriate, reduce minimum lot sizes to allow construction of
smaller, detached single-family houses on smaller lots.
"HP 16 Increase capacity and encourage greater diversity of housing types and
costs for both infill and new development through various methods,
such as inclusionary zoning, density bonuses, and transfer of
development rights, cluster housing, cottage housing, garden housing,
duplexes, and low to moderate density housing types.
V1. COMPLIANCE WITH FWRC 19.75.130(3)
Site-specific requests are also required to be evaluated for compliance with this section.
1) The city may approve the application only if it finds that:
a. The proposed request is in the best interests of the residents of the city.
There is a need for more housing supply and smaller lots provide for housing affordable
to families seeking single family homes.Please see responses under Sections V(1)(5)
and V (2) (1).
b. The proposed request is appropriate because either.-
(i)
ither:(i) Conditions in the immediate vicinity of the subject property have so significantly
changed since the property was given its present zoning that, under those changed
conditions, a change in designation is within the public interest; or
(i i) The rezone will correct a zone classification or zone boundary that was
inappropriate when established.
This area was annexed to the city in January 2005 (Parkway Annexation)with a pre-
annexation comprehensive plan designation of Single Family Medium Density and
zoning of RS 35.0 (one unit per 35,000 square feet).At the time of annexation,the
adopted RS 35.0 zoning of approximately one unit per acre was intended to protect
the wetlands in this area.
Planning Commission Staff Report February 9,2019
2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments/Milton Area Legislative Rezone Page 10 of 16
187
In June 2015,pursuant to the periodic major update policies of the GMA, the city
updated its environmentally critical area regulations to meet Best Available Science
(BAS)requirements.BAS requirements are intended to protect critical areas such as
wetlands,by requiring an applicant to submit a critical areas report that adequately
evaluates the proposal and probable impacts on a critical area,or its associated buffer
and/or setback. Given the now adequate protection of critical areas, such as wetlands,
a comprehensive plan amendment to the higher density of RS 7.2 is consistent with
the GMA goal to reduce sprawl by the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land
into sprawling low-density development. Also,providing for smaller lots available
for single-family housing would be consistent with comprehensive plan policy LUP
8, "Designate and zone land to provide for Federal Way's share of regionally adopted
demand forecasts for residential, commercial, and industrial uses for the next 20
years."The requests are also consistent with Policy HP 15, "As appropriate,reduce
minimum lot sizes to allow construction of smaller, detached single-family houses on
smaller lots."
c. It is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
There are 26 parcels,totaling approximately 56.06 acres,with 18 different property
owners designated Single Family Medium Density Residential and Single Family(RS
35.0, one unit per 35,000 square feet) in this area. If the comprehensive plan amendment
and rezone to RS 7.2 is approved, it will result in higher density for parcels in this area,
which will comply with the GMA goal of reducing sprawl and would also be consistent
with the overall vision of the comprehensive plan, which states that the demand for and
development of single-family housing is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
Single-family development will occur as in-fill development of vacant lots scattered
throughout existing neighborhoods and as subdivisions on vacant tracts of land.
Increasing density would also be consistent with Housing Policy(HP)-15 of the
comprehensive plan, which states"As appropriate,reduce minimum lot sizes to allow
construction of smaller, detached single-family houses on smaller lots" and HP-16, which
states"Increase capacity and encourage greater diversity of housing types and costs for
both infill and new development through various methods, such as inclusionary zoning,
density bonuses, and transfer of development rights, cluster housing, cottage housing,
garden housing, duplexes, and low to moderate density housing types."
d. It is consistent with all applicable provisions of the title, including those adopted by
reference from the comprehensive plan.
If these requests are granted, any future development will be required to comply with all
city regulations,including those adopted by reference from the comprehensive plan.
e. It is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare.
Refer to responses under Section V(2) (1).

VIII. PUBLIC COMMENTS RECEIVED
Citizens in Opposition or Asking Questions
Thirty-seven written comments in opposition to the comprehensive plan amendment and rezone,
or asking questions, were received from 33 citizens (Exhibit R).Two citizens were in favor of the
change (Exhibit S). The numbers in Table H correspond to the written citizen comments.
Although,no written comments were received from the original six applicants, it is assumed that
they would be in favor of the change.
Table II
No. Summary of Comments Names
1 Is curious about the impact on the public schools and what the city Genipher Owens
intends to do to manage the increased traffic,citing the already
problematic traffic from Wild Waves.
2 Extension of South 376`b Street to 19th Way South will increase traffic, Travis Geving
including dump trucks, which will tear up the roads.If the road is
punched through,he would like to see speed bumps installed. The city
will need to increase police patrol to reduce speeding. The community
park will become less safe for children and there will be an increase in
vandalism and drug use at the park.
3 Concerned about increased traffic on Milton Road between Porter Way Brett and Pam Thomas
and Milton Road.Also concerned about the safety of children and the
elderly walking in the area and bicyclists.
4 Concerned about the increase in crime if multi-family development Mike and Connie
occurs. The rezone will make traffic worse,increase gridlock,and Czerwonka
exhaust fumes. The local tot lot is where South 376th Street would be
extended, so concerned about the safety of children. Also concerned
about Lloyd's gravel trucks passing through the neighborhood.
5 If the area is rezoned, a new I-5 exit at South 375`h Street should be part Chris Givens
of the traffic mitigation.
6 Opposed to extension of South 376 'Street to 19th Way South due to David Blake
safety concerns.
7 Asked for clarification on what is being proposed. Kym Moses
8 Stated that the traffic analysis assumes that 19`b Way South will be Mark Spaur
extended through South 376`h Street to Milton Road South and this is
unacceptable for several reasons.There will be an increase in traffic;
there is a community park at the end of 19`h Way South and speeding
cars will create a safety risk for children playing in the park; the
extension would have to cross the vonDoenhoff property and the road
easement no longer exists;the road would also have to cross a wetland;
traffic at the intersection of Milton Road is already intolerable when
Wild Waves is open.
9 Made two suggested changes to the environmental checklist relating to Mark Spaur
the need for additional future environmental studies related to the
impacts on surface water.
10 The comprehensive plan and the amendment process should not allow Roger and Jayne
"high density"everywhere; Spring Valley should remain relatively low

density to protect the ecologically sensitive areas,including the Hylebos. vonDoenhoff
Concerned about increased traffic and backups.Stated that the traffic
analysis assumes that South 376'h Street can be punched through the middle
of their 20-acre parcel.However,there are a number of reasons why this is
not feasible:the road through their property has been vacated;punching the
road through would make the southern portion of their property unusable;
the road would be within 20 feet of their house and would run through a
wetland;the road would increase traffic in Brittany Lane and Regency
Woods next to a children's playground and also increase traffic in front of
an assisted living facility.If the area is rezoned,they would request RS 15.0
and not RS 7.2 or RS 5.0 zoning.
11 In the planning of new developments in the Milton Road area,the city Mark Spaur
must mandate Low Impact Development(LID)and Green Stormwater
Infrastructure(GSI)methods,such as permeable pavement for roads
and driveways,bio retention ponds and roof rainwater collection and
dispersion systems.
12 He does not believe that the statement in the environmental checklist, Mark Spaur
that the restrictive covenants of Regency Woods Division would
prohibit further division of lots,is correct.
13 Additional housing and new road infrastructure will be an additional Sarita Breivik
source of pollution collecting in stormwater.The increase in stormwater
pollution levels discharging to the Hylebos and Puget Sound will have a
negative impact on salmon and orca populations and other wildlife
residing in the area. Extension of South 376`h Street to 19`h Way South
will put the residents of Brittany Lane and Regency Woods at increased
risk of crime,will increase traffic through Brittany Lane and Regency
Woods, and cause a safety hazard to children playing in the park and
walking to school. In addition, additional housing would put an added
strain on the schools,negatively impacting children's education.
14 Objects to the punching through South 376t'Street to 19th Way South Bob Coleman
because it would make traffic worse in the neighborhood.Traffic from
Milton Road,including Lloyd's and Port of Tacoma truck traffic and
commuter and casino will speed through the neighborhood.In addition,
there is a park at the southern terminus of South 19th Way South,where
the road would be punched through.
15 Object to construction of apartments or condos,but do not object to Kim and Scott Moses
single family houses.
16 Objects to the punching through South 376`"Street to 19th Way South Lily Stadnik
because it would make traffic worse in the neighborhood. Traffic from
Milton Road,including Lloyd's and Port of Tacoma truck traffic and
commuter and casino will speed through the neighborhood.In addition,
there is a community park and bus stop at the southern terminus of
South 19th Way South,where the road would be punched through. In
addition,the value of homes will suffer.
17 Objects to the punching through South 376`h Street to 19th Way South as Sylvia Molzahn
it will open up the neighborhood to more crime. In addition,roads and
schools are already overcrowded. It will also cause a hazard to
residents,who use the sidewalk for walking.
18 Increased traffic and speeds of traffic in the neighborhood would create Monica Hirano
a safety hazard and detract from the character of the neighborhood.

19 Have concerns about increased exhaust from increased traffic. Also Betty Latham
connecting South 376th Street and 19`h Way South would increase
traffic,making it unsafe for children to ride their bike,neighbors who
walk for exercise,and children who play in the park.
20 Concerns about traffic impacts on the roadways and intersections Sarita Breivik
adjacent to the proposed rezone area,which are already at and above
capacity.The backups affect state highways and increase response time
for emergency vehicles and personnel.
21 States that the schools are already overcrowded; has concerns about Kathy Walton
increased traffic;and the assumption that South 376't'Street would be
extended to Milton Road South as there is a park there and the
extension will create a safety hazard. In addition,increased traffic
would detract from the character of the neighborhood and increased
building will result in the cutting down of trees in the beautiful forest
that helps mitigate noise pollution from I-5.
22 Concerns about increased traffic,overcrowding of schools,and the type Maksim Tomilov
of housing,whether apartments or houses,will be built
23 Requests that the transportation impact analysis be changed to not Lesley Roth
include the connection of South 376th Street and 19`t'Way South due to
increased traffic and the presence of children playing in the park.Also
has concerns that representatives from the fire,police,and public
schools have not commented on the impact to their services. She would
like.to know their plans for absorbing the growth in this area.
24 Connecting South 376`h Street and 19th Way South will destroy their Alex Costine
way of life, will drastically lower house prices,will be extremely
dangerous to children and elderly people in the neighborhood,and turn
the quiet neighborhood surrounded by beautiful trees into a smog-filled
area.It will also increase traffic,including semi-trucks going to the Port
of Tacoma and bring potentially dangerous people going to gamble at
the casino into their neighborhood.

Woods and it would cut through an identified wetland.A reasonable
compromise would be to rezone the parcels but require the developer to
leave a natural green buffer between the redeveloped lots and Brittany
lane to mitigate pollution and noise.
34 States that the wetland on the Ellingson property needs to be restored; Suzanne Vargo
questions whether portions of the site has Everett Gravelly Sandy Loam
(EvQ soil; states that the zoning must remain low density due to the
soil make up; concerned about impacts on wetlands and their buffers if
single family homes are built,which are exempt from review under the
State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA); concerned about removal of
trees due to their buffering effect for air and noise from I-5;requests a
full study of birds and mammals in a three-mile radius of the proposed
rezone area;requests that it be investigated whether this area is a key
resting spot for migrating birds;concerned about the impacts on
wildlife; states that this area is affected by the Tacoma Smelter Plume;
concerned about the impacts of construction equipment on the aging
Olympic Pipeline, which runs parallel to 1-5 on the east, west of Milton
Road South; the city needs to develop an emergency plan to address
these issues; and concerned that the removal of trees will increase the
noise impacts from jets.
35 The 1995 Environmental Impact Statement(EIS)did not analyze Mark Spaur
impacts in this area as it had not yet been annexed by the city.He
believes that it is time for the city to do another EIS that includes the
areas annexed by the city since 1995,includes the Hylebos Watershed,
includes the city's new vision for transit and development,and use the
EIS process as intended to weigh the cumulative impacts of proposed
development on the environment.
36 Concerns about whether the376th bridge and 19`h Way South/South Matthew and AnnDU Do
376`h Streets were built for heavy traffic and commercial trucks. Also
concerned about potential future traffic impacting the Brittany Lane
park and the senior living facility south of South 376 'Street.
37 States that even though a legislative comprehensive plan amendment Mark Spaur
and rezone are non-project actions,guidance from the Department of
Ecology is that when a non-project action involves a comprehensive
plan or similar proposal governing future project development,the
probable environmental impacts associated with future development
need to be considered.He also states that additional stormwater analysis
should be done to evaluate impacts on the Hylebos Watershed and that
future development should utilize Low Impact Development
(LID)/Green StormwatEr Infrastructure(GSI)methods. He is also
requesting that the South 376t3'Extension to 20`h Way South be removed
from the Comprehensive Plan as part of this process.
Citizens in Favor of the Change
Loren and Shannon Neighbors, who live in the area under study, are in favor of the
comprehensive plan amendment and rezone to RS 5.0 (single family, one unit per 5,000
square feet)because there is a need for middle class housing near to good mass transit.

Purpose of checklist:
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant.This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance,minimization,"
or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts,or if an environmental
impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
Instructions for applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.Please
answer each question accurately and carefully,to the best of your knowledge.You may need to consult with
an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions.You may use "not applicable"or "does not
apply"only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may
also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies and/or reports.Complete and accurate answers to
these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process,as well as later in the decision-making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal,even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land.Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects.The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant
adverse impact.
Instructions for Lead Agencies:
Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment,all interrelated aspects of the
proposal,and an analysis of adverse impacts.The checklist is considered the first,but not necessarily the
only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination.Once a threshold
determination is made,the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and
other supporting documents.
Use of checklist far nonproject proposals:
For nonproject proposals(such as ordinances,regulations,plans,and programs),complete the applicable
parts of sections A and B,plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS(part D).Please
completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words"project,""applicant,"and"property or
site"should be read as"pioposal,""proponent,"and"affected geographic area,"respectively.The lead
agency may exclude(for nonprojects)questions in Part B(Environmental Elements)that do not contribute
meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

9. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of other proposals
directly affecting the property covered by your proposal?If yes,explain.
There is a pending violation on portions of Parcel No's. 322104-9136,322104-9036,and 322104-9138
for clearing and grading without a permit. The owner had misinterpreted information provided by the
Department of Ecology and began constructing a stormwater feature/berm within the wetland buffer
without approval from the City.The owner entered into a Voluntary Correction Agreement(VOA)with
the City.As part of the VOA,a full assessment of the impacts to the wetland and wetland buffer and a
wetland report with recommended mitigation was required.A Wetland&Mitigation Report was
prepared by Environmental Design,LLC.The City is in the process of working with the owner on
resolving the violation.
There are no other pending applications for government approvals or other proposals directly affecting
the remainder of the parcels.If the legislative comprehensive plan amendment and rezone are approved,
specific development proposals related to individual parcels will require future environmental review
and approval of development and building permits.
10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal,if known.
The Federal Way City Council must adopt the final amendments to the FWCP pursuant to FKWC
Chapter 19.80, "Council Rezones." Specific development proposals related to individual parcels will
require future environmental review and approval of development-and building permits.
11. Give brief,complete description of your proposal,including the proposed uses and the size of the
project and site.There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain
aspects of your proposal.You do not need to repeat those answers on this page.(Lead agencies
may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.)

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. Earth
a. General description of the site
(Underline/circle one): Flat,rolling,hilly,steep slopes,mountainous,other
The site is approximately 56 acres with a flat to rolling terrain.
b. What is the steepest slope on the site(approximate percent slope)?
The steepest slope on the site is approximately 42 percent located on the western portion of Parcel
No. 322104-9036 between Milton Road and the on-site wetland. .
c. What general types of soils are found on the site(for example,clay,sand,gravel,peat,muck)?
If you know the classification of agricultural soils,specify them and note any agricultural land
of long-term commercial significance and whether the proposal results in removing any of
these soils.
The majority of the soils in this area are Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam(AgQ with a slope of
6-15 percent.Everett Gravelly Sandy Loam(EvC)with a slope of 5-15 percent can be found
roughly in the middle of the area with an area of Kitsap Silt Loam(KpB),2-8 percent slope,to

the south east of the EvC. There is also a small area of Bellingham Silt Loam(Bh)located in the
south eastern portion of the area(Exhibit Q.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity?If so,
describe.
Based on the city's Critical Areas Map(Exhibit D),there are no surface indications or history of
unstable soils in the immediate vicinity.
e. Describe the purpose,type,total area,and approximate quantities and total affected area of
any filling,excavation,and grading proposed.Indicate source of fill.
The proposal is a non-project action.However,if any of the parcels are further subdivided via a
preliminary plat(10 or more lots created),said subdivision would be subject to their own review
pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)and at that time,any proposed filling,
excavation,and grading,including source of fill would be addressed.The construction of single
family homes does not trigger SEPA review.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing,construction,or use?If so,generally describe.
It is possible that erosion could occur as a result of clearing,construction,or use.Please refer to
response under Section B(1)(h).
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction(for example,asphalt or buildings)?
There are approximately 56.06 acres in the subject area,of which 50.76 acres may be
redevelopable. As stated in Section A(11),No's 21 and 23-26 are located within Regency Woods
Division No.2(Exhibits A and B)and they are already developed with single family homes.
Furthermore,it appears that the Regency Woods Division 2 Declaration of Protective Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions(CC&Rs)prohibit further division of these lots.Of the remaining 50.76
acres,approximately 0.92 acres will needed for future road expansions and approximately 13.22
acres would be set aside as wetlands and wetland buffers,leaving 36.62 acres as developable or
redevelopable land.If the parcels were subdivided,it is assumed that 7.5 percent would be set aside
as open space with the remaining 7.5 percent being satisfied by a fee-in-lieu of open space with 20
percent being developed as internal streets,leaving approximately 52.3 percent that could be
developed as lots.In both the RS 7.2 and RS 5.0 zones,maximum lot coverage is 60 percent which
would result in approximately 31.4 percent of impervious surface.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion,or other impacts to the earth,if any:
These are noxi project actions.Future project specific actions will be subject to environmental
review as required by the SEPA Rules,and will be evaluated in accordance with all plans,policies,
rules,and regulations adopted as a basis for the exercise of substantive authority under SEPA to
approve,condition or deny proposed actions.In addition,when future projects are submitted,any
erosion-related impacts created during clearing and construction activities will be mitigated in
compliance with the 2016 King County Surface Water Manual(KCSWM),as arnerided by the city.
This requires any erosion-related impacts created during clearing and construction activities to be
addressed according to a Temporary Erosion Sedimentation Control Plan(TESL),which is a
standard part of engineering review and approval.

2. Air
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal during construction,
operation,and maintenance when the project is completed?If any,generally describe and
give approximate quantities if known.
Potential construction of an additional 160 to 231 houses would result in increased
emissions to the air both during construction and after construction by increased vehicle
traffic in the area. Approximate quantities of the increased emissions are unknown.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal?If so,
generally describe.
Not applicable.These are non-project actions.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air,if any.
These are non-project actions.However,the amount of wetland vegetation and buffer vegetation to
be retained should help to filter pollutants and absorb carbon dioxide.Trees also release oxygen into
the atmosphere and help cool our homes.
Staff concurs with the checklist.
3. Water
a. Surface Water
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site(including year-
round and seasonal streams,saltwater,lakes,ponds,wetlands)?If yes,describe type and
provide names.If appropriate,state what stream or river it flows into.
The City's Critical Area Map(Exhibit D)identifies three Category 11 Wetlands in this area,one
on Parcels 322104-9136,322104-9036,and 322104-9138(Ellingson),one on the southern
portion of Parcel 322104-9063 (Vondoenhoff),and one on Parcels 322104-9001 (Kaprosky),
and 721266-1090(City of Federal Way).These appear to be Category 11 wetlands with 105 foot
wide buffers.There also appears to be another wetland on portions of Parcels 322104-9050
(Ellingson), 322104-9126(Semenyuk)and 322104-9063(Vondoenhoff).The City's wetland
consultant has identified this wetland as a Category III wetland with a 60 foot wide buffer.
2) Will the project require any work over,in,or adjacent to(within 200 feet)the described
waters? If yes,please describe and attach available plans.
These are non-project actions.However,if the wetlands are indeed Category Il with buffers of
105 feet and 60 feet,it is likely that work would occur within 200 feet of the wetlands.There
have been two wetland studies prepared for the Ellingson parcels.However,if future

subdivision of the area is proposed, additional environmental studies to analyze impacts on the
wetlands would be required.
3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from
surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected.Indicate
the source of fill material.
These are non-project actions and without a development proposal it is not possible to estimate
fill or dredge material that would be placed in or removed from the wetlands or their buffers.It
is also not possible to identify the source of any fill-
4)
ll_4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions?Give general
description,purpose,and approximate quantities if known.
These are non-project actions.
5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year floodplain?If so,note the location on the site plan.
These are non-project actions.However,based on the Washington State Coastal Atlas(Flood
Hazard Maps),there are no floodplains in the vicinity of the site-specific requests_
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters?If so,
describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge.
These are non-project actions.
b. Ground Water
1) Will groundwater be withdrawn from a well for drinking water or other purposes? If so,
give a general description of the well,proposed uses,and approximate quantities
withdrawn from the well.Will water be discharged to groundwater?Give general
description,purpose,and approximate quantities if known.
These are non-project actions. However,based on the Lakehaven Water&Sewer District
Wellhead Protection Maps,there are no wells in this area.
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other
sources,if any(for example: domestic sewage;industrial containing the following
chemicals. . . ; agricultural; etc.).Describe the general size of the system,the number of
such systems,the number of houses to be served(if applicable),or the number of animals
or humans the system(s)are expected to serve.
These are non-project actions.However,if the area was built out at RS 7.2(one unit per 7,200
square feet),it is assumed that there could be 160 lots,including the existing 26 lots,and if built
out at RS 5.0(one unit per 5,000 square feet),there could be 231 lots including the existing 26
lots.It is very unlikely that waste material from septic tanks or domestic sewage would be
discharged into the ground as the Lakehaven Water&Sewer District has stated that they have
no comment on the proposed rezone itself,as no new Lakehaven water/sewer system facilities
would be required by or for the proposed land use action itself.Future development of the
SEPA Environmental Checklist Page 8 of 22

associated properties would require extension of Lakehaven water and sewer system facilities
as necessary to serve such future developing properties.
c. Water runoff(including stormwater):
1) Describe the source of runoff(including stormwater)and method of collection and
disposal,if any(include quantities,if known).Where will this water flow?Will this water
flow into other waters?If so,describe.
The existing storm system in the area consists of roadside ditches which connect to existing
wetlands in the area.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters?If so,generally describe.
Refer to response to question above.However, any new development would be required to
construct a stormwater system with a discharge to an approved stormwater treatment and
detention system.
3) Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site?If
so, describe.
The storm system and the existing roadways are not adequate to support a rezone from RS 35.0
to either RS 5.0 or RS7.2
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water,and drainage
pattern impacts,if any:

have?How many would the project or proposal eliminate? PAGE
City code requires a minimum of two parking spaces per dwelling unit.No parking spaces should
be eliminated.
d. Will the proposal require any new or improvements to existing roads,streets,pedestrian,
bicycle,or state transportation facilities,not including driveways?If so,generally describe
(indicate whether public or private).
Any proposals that may result from a decision on the legislative rezone and comprehensive plan
amendments will be subject to future review for compliance with all codes. Specifically,any future
development,regardless of zoning,would be required to construct street improvements consistent
with the planned roadway cross-sections as shown in Map IIT-4(Cross Section Application by
Street)(Exhibit E)and Table HT 10[Capital Improvement Program(CIP)—2016-2040]of Chapter
3 of the FWCP,except single family development may apply to the Public Works Director to
modify, defer, or waive the required improvements.
A Transportation Impact Analysis was conducted to determine the required street improvements.
The applicant would be expected to construct improvements on the following streets to the City's
planned roadway cross-sections:
• Milton Road S is a Principal Collector planned as,a Type"P"street. However,the
proposed zone change would change that to a Type"O"street(Exhibit F), consisting of a
34-foot street with curb and gutter, six-foot planter strips with street trees, 8-foot sidewalks,
and street lights in a 68-foot right-of-way(ROW). Assuming a symmetrical cross section,
4 feet of ROW dedication and half street improvements are required on each side
developed as measured from the street centerline OR far side edge of travel way.
Depending on the location of any local access streets, left-turn lanes may be required at site
access points, adding 12 feet to the roadway cross-section. The easterly curve in the 37200
block does not meet current standards,and should be realigned. Another alternative would
be to construct a site access intersection at this location, controlled by a roundabout.
•
S376 1h Street is a Minor Collector planned as a Type"S"street(Exhibit G),consisting of a
36-foot street with curb and gutter, four-foot planter strips with street trees,5-foot
sidewalks, and street lights in a 60-foot right-of-way(ROW). Assuming a symmetrical
cross section, no ROW dedication would be necessary,but half street improvements are
required as measured from the street centerline OR far side edge of travel way.
• Internal street(s) shall be Type"S"(Exhibit G),"U"(Exhibit H), or"W"(Exhibit 1) local
streets, consisting of a 36-, 32-, or 28-foot street,respectively,with curb and gutter,four-foot
planter strips with street trees, five-foot sidewalks and street lights in a 60-,56-, or 52-foot
right-of-way(ROW),respectively,depending on the number of lots served.Future
development shall meet block perimeter requirements of 1,320 feet for non-motorized access,
and 2,640 feet for streets
e. Will the project or proposal use(or occur in the immediate vicinity of)water,rail,or air
transportation?If so,generally describe.

f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project or proposal?
If known,indicate when peak volumes would occur and what percentage of the volume would
be trucks(such as commercial and non-passenger vehicles).What data or transportation
models were used to make these estimates?
Trip generation is estimated based on ITE's Trip Generation 20th Edition.The net increase in traffic
volumes would be 160 or 215 trips during the evening peak hour and approximately 1,600 or 2,150
daily trips.Truck percentage of volume would be two percent,consisting mostly of school buses,
garbage trucks and the occasional moving van or fire truck.
g. Will the proposal interfere with,affect,or be affected by the movement of agricultural and
forest products on roads or streets in the area?If so,generally describe.
Federal Way is considered an urban area, and there is little agricultural or forestry activity.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts,if any.
Future development of the area will be subJect to development review as required by City
regulations.At the time that an application for a development permit is submitted,the Traffic
Division will conduct a Concurrency Analysis,which will analyze peak hour impacts of the project
to assure that there is adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development.Supplemental
mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates an impact not anticipated in the
Transportation Improvement Plan(TTP).The applicants have the option to have an independent
traffic engineer licensed in the State of Washington prepare the concurrency analysis consistent
with City procedures.Development proposals will also be subject to a traffic impact fee to address
system impacts. Site-specific analysis may also be required to address impacts outside of the
evening peak hour or safety issues.
Staff concurs with the checklist.
15. Public services
a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services(for example:fire protection,
police protection,public transit,health care,schools,other)? if so, generally describe.
Based on increased density and additional single family homes,it is likely that there will be a need
for increased public services,such as fire protection,police protection,public transit,health care,
and schools.The proposed legislative comprehensive plan amendment and rezone were presented to
the members of the City's Development Review Committee(DRC),which includes the Public
Works Development Service and Traffic Divisions,the Building Division,South King Fire;
Lakehaven Water and Sewer District,and the Police Department.No comments were received from

A SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS
(IT IS NOT NECESSARY to use this sheet for project actions.)
Because these questions are very general,it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the
elements of the environment.
When answering these questions,be aware of the extent the proposal,or the types of activities likely to
result from the proposal,would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal
were not implemented.Respond briefly and in general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air;production,
storage,or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
Development of the area with housing is not likely to increase discharge to water;or production,
storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances as any future development will be subject to City
of Federal Way requirements for drainage and FWRC, Title 19,Division 5,which regulates the use of
hazardous materials in Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas. In addition,individual zones within the
FWRC regulate storage and treatment of hazardous substances. FWRC Title 7, Public Nuisances
provides specific regulations related to air quality and noise.However expansion of existing roads
and construction of new internal roads will result in increased emissions to air due to increased
vehicle traffic in the area and increased noise associated with traffic.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
Require compliance with City codes and regulations.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants,animals,fish,or marine life?
As development occurs,trees and other vegetation will be removed, and animals may be displaced.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals,fish,or marine life are:
Per FWRC 19.120.130 Tree and Vegetation Standards,existing trees and vegetation in good health,and
not considered to be invasive species, shall be retained on the subject property to the maximum extent
possible in all developments.Twenty five tree units per acre are required on all developed sites in any
single family zone. The tree density requirements will be met primarily through the conservation of
existing trees..However,in order to provide for continued flexibility in the design of new development,
in those situations where a development's design would preclude the retention of the required number
of trees,the use of replacement or supplemental tree planting is authorized to meet the required tree unit
density.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? n
The proposal should not deplete energy or natural resources? ' ffiffi'
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: pm� 16"
None.

4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas
designated(or eligible or under study)for governmental protection;such as parks,wilderness,
wild and scenic rivers,threatened or endangered species habitat,historic or cultural sites,
wetlands,floodplains,or prime farmlands?
The only environmentally sensitive areas are wetlands.The City permits intrusions into wetland
buffers on a case-by-case basis only if enforcing the critical area regulations would eliminate all
reasonable use of the property.If the city grants a reasonable use request,it shall grant the minimum
necessary to provide the applicant with some reasonable use of the subject property.The city may
also impose limitations,mitigation under an approved mitigation plan,conditions and/or restrictions it
considers appropriate to reduce or eliminate any undesirable effects or adverse impacts of granting a
request under this section.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
See response under No.4 above.
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use,including whether it would
allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
This area is not within the shoreline master program area.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
None.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and
utilities?
Increased density would likely increase traffic in these areas and require the expansion and
improvement of existing roads and the construction of new internal roads to meet block perimeter
standards.It would also increase the demand for public services such as police,fire,and schools.The
Lakehaven Water and Sewer District has stated that future development of the area would require
extension of Lakehaven water and sewer system facilities as necessary to serve such future developing
properties.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s)are:
The City would work with public service providers to come up with a solution.
7. Identify,if possible,whether the proposal may conflict with local,state,or federal laws or
requirements for the protection of the environment.
This proposal does not conflict with any local,state, or federal laws or requirements for the protection
of the environment.
Staff concurs with the checklist.

MILTON ROAD AREA LEGISLATIVE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENT AND REZONE
Date Event EXHIBIT
2017 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS SELECTION PROCESS
June 21,2017 Planning Commission Briefing
• Six citizens in the Milton Road area submitted applications for comprehensive plan
amendments for the 2017 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Cycle.
• Mark Johnson,Pam Otteson,Rick Beard,and Visnou Dararak requested a change from Single
Family Medium Density Residential,RS 35.0(one unit per 35,000 square feet)to Single
Family High Density Residential RS 7.2,(one unit per 7,200 square feet).Larry Neether and
Arnie Ellingson requested a change from Single Family Medium Density Residential,RS 35.0
(one unit per 35,000 square feet)to Single Family High Density Residential RS 5.0, (one unit
per 5,000 square feet).
July 10,2017 Selection Process to LUTC.
July 18,2017 Selection Process to City Council. At the end of the public hearing,the City Council gave staff
direction to contact the other property owners with RS 35.0 zoning to find out whether they would like
to join in with the six requests.
September 8,2017 Staff notified the other 11 property owners in writing and gave them until September 29,2017,to
respond.No one responded by the deadline.
2017 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS FORMAL REVIEW PROCESS
September 28,2017 The six requests were presented to the Development Review Committee(DRC).
October 4,2017 Public Notice sent to the paper for SEPA and Planning Commission Public Hearing.
October 5,2017 Sites posted for SEPA and Planning Commission Public Hearing.
October 5,2017 Public notice boards posted for SEPA and Planning Commission Public Hearing.
October 6,2017 The 300 foot notification for SEPA and Planning Commission Public Hearing.
October 6,2017 Notice for SEPA and Notice of Planning Commission Public Hearing published in the Mirror.
Week of Three property owners indicated an interest in joining in with the requests.
October 8,2017
October 20,2017 The 14-day comment period ends.
October 25,2017 Planning Commission Public Hearing.The Planning Commission concurred with the Mayor's
recommendation of denial of all six requests on the basis that approval could be construed as spot
zoning and would not be consistent with housing-related goals and policies in the comprehensive plan.
However,if all of the parcels designated Single Family Medium Density Residential and Single
Family(RS 35.0, one unit per 35,000 square feet)were to apply in the future, or if the city were to
initiate a legislative rezone for all properties in this area,the Mayor would likely recommend approval
of a request for higher density to be determined upon further analysis.
November 3,2017 The 21-day appeal period ends.
December 4,2617 LUTC Meeting. The LUTC concurred with the Planning Commission's recommendation.
January 2,2018 City Council I"Reading.The Council voted to table the request and send it back to the Planning
Commission as a legislative comprehensive plan amendment and rezone for all of the RS 35.0 zoned
parcels in this area.

Good morning, Ms. Clark:
I received notice in the mail to my home address at 37313 17th Ave. S. of the City's intent to rezone the above
referenced area from a Single Family Medium-Density Residential to a Single Family High Density Residential.
I am curious how this rezoning will impact public school enrollment and assignment, and what the City intends to do to
manage the increase in traffic resulting from the rezoning, and if that plan (if any), considers the arready problematic
Wild Waves patron traffic throughout the year.
Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciate.

Subject: Rezoning project on Milton Road
Hi Margaret,
I am writing to voice my concern regarding the signage posted in our neighborhood (Brittany
Lane/Regency Woods) referencing the rezoning of land for high density homes. My main concern
about the rezoning is planning to "Punch through" 19th Way to connect to Milton Road. This is
completely unnecessary and would create an adverse effect on the housing developments of
Regency Woods and Brittany Lane by having to burden the predicted 4 to 5 times more traffic in our
neighborhoods as of a result of connecting 19th Way to Milton Road. The homeowners on 19th Way
would be dealing with 45 mph traffic racing through their "neighborhoods" as the excess traffic are off
to work or on their way home in a 25 MPH zone. Not to mention the high amount of dump trucks
which will tear up our roads. If this poor decision to punch through the road is done, the city owes the
neighborhoods some good will. The city will need to install speed bumps on 19th Way to discourage
people from using it as a shortcut to HWY 161. The city will need to increase police patrol in our
neighborhood as the increased traffic will definitely increase the speeds and will also need police to
patrol the private park. The new homes built on the rezoned land will have direct access to Milton
Road and cut through access to highway 99 and there is no reason to use the 25 year established
neighborhoods with a private park on 19th as their personal drag strip. By punching through the road
our now private residential park will be on a main street which will make the park less safe for children
and harder to monitor the restricted access to the park. THis will also will increase the vandalism and
of course drug use. Building homes is one thing, but there is NO reason to punch the road through.
Above is my major concern as outlined, and as a 20 year resident of Federal Way, the city's vision
and planning is having other major effects on the quality of life in our city. I will outline a few of the
issues we are having as a city as a result of the decisions being made by our leaders.
Is it the city's job to cram as many people as possible into the city limits? Enough is enough!!! It takes
30 minutes to get from one side of FW to the other due to the awful amount of traffic in our city. Stop
cramming more people into tight spots. Park 16, the monstrosity across from Safeway on 320th, and
now the new complex off military on 320th.....holy smokes, what is the benefit we get as a city for
this.....my guess is we get subsidized $$ from Seattle to take their low rent projects and move south
so they can tear theirs down and build upon their city's infrastructure.,I say keep the money, we don't
need the headache that comes with it.
Have you heard of public education? Many people decide to live where the schools have great
reputation. Well, strike two Federal Way...l know of more and more people leaving the school district
249
because of the low quality of teachers, Many of our best have left not willing to teach in our district
because of the lower pay and the 'crap' they have to deal with. Have you heard, I read it in the Mirror
monthly. THE SCHOOLS ARE OVERCROWDED!I!I!!!!M So let's build a new 250 unit condo off
Military and all the students will go to Lake Dolloff.....real smart planning....NOT. Why don't you ask
the former Principal at Rainier View Elementary what building Park 16 did for the culture and climate
of that school. Overcrowded, teachers leaving, what happened at that school is unconscionable. And
now you want to rezone the land on Milton Road so you can send more kids to an already
overcrowded Rainier View Elementary. Have you been to that school lately? They have portables in
the front of the school and on the play ground. Sequoyah and Todd Beamer High School have gone
down hill drastically as well since Park 16 was built.
I have spoke with many businesses in the region, Fred Meyer and Safeway on 320th, increased
crime. Go talk to them. The chevron near 356th has a sign on the door, no backpacks in the store.
Other small businesses on Pac Hwy are seeing increased begging and crime. I don't even want to
send my kid to the movies on a Friday night....Go to Mod Pizza one evening and see if you get asked
for money on the way in or out to your car, I'm 9 out of 10 times having that happen to me. So, rather
than shop in FW the residents go to South hill or the Outlet Collection in Auburn, bye bye $$$$ and
business. Not good for the city.
Our little league was sent an e-mail from the city last year about bathroom use at Celebration Park,
don't let your kids use the bathroom with out an adult because of the vagrancy and drug use. Thank
you for letting us know, that was kind and when you grow up in Federal Way it is the new normal for
raising your kids. It is a good practice anyway. But how pathetic and sad. But, let's keep stacking
people upon each other and then wonder why we can't get businesses to open up shop in FW. Lets
spend our money on improving what we have and not spend it on rezoning so we can cram more
people, more crime, more traffic into our city while we drive out businesses.
Have you driven down Milton Road on a Friday at 5:00pm? Why don't you look at the traffic. If you
have a plan in place to fix the traffic problem that we already have and to fix the traffic that 250 more
homes will bring then I'm ok with you rezoning. But to punch through 19th Way that will lead to Milton
Road isn't helping anybody. If this happens, then you will need to make sure the road is fixed
(currently, sink holes already in front of the park), and you will be receiving phone calls to the police
department every time I see a speeding car or someone at our park that doesn't belong. This is a
SAFETY issue, so be prepared!
Thank you,
Tina Geving

Subject: Opposed to Milton Road Rezone Files 18-105523-SE and 18-104618-UP
Hello,
We are opposed to this rezone as it will negatively impact surrounding neighborhoods inside and outside the City limits.
We live in Regency Woods, work in Tacoma, and frequently commute to and from work via Milton Road/51h Ave via
Pacific Hwy and Porter Way. During the afternoon/evening commute, Milton Way/5th Ave is severely backed up from
Porter Way with southbound commuters avoiding 1-5 South. This backup continues between Porter Way and the traffic
light at Pacific Highway. No doubt Waze and other GPS applications route commuters this way.
This situation already creates an increased safety hazard, noise and inconvenience for people living in the homes
between Porter Way and S 376th. I am especially concerned about children and the elderly walking in this area, and
people bicycling on this road. Increased density along Milton Way within the City limits north of S 376th will exacerbate
the problem.
While it has been planned for some time, connecting S 376th between Milton Road and the Brittany Lane/Regency
Woods developments will also negatively impact surrounding neighborhoods. It will create another alternate north/
south route from Enchanted Parkway via 19th Way S through to Milton Road/5th Ave. While this may be convenient for
my commute, it will negatively impact the families living in the homes along and around 19th Way, and further
exacerbate the traffic-related problems described above for families along Milton Road/5th Ave. In the "Waze Age",
people will be routed this way.
Therefore, we oppose this change to the comprehensive plan.
Thank you for your consideration,
Respectfully,

Hello M. Clark,
My name is Connie Czerwonka. I live at 1605 S. 369th St. Federal Way. My husband Mike and I have lived here
since 1995. We have had our cars broken into and our house broken into with a lot of jewelry stolen in that
time. I'm afraid if the area gets rezoned to allow multi families the problem will get much worse. I am
concerned with the traffic. It's already bad, and the rezone will make it worse. Our former neighbors have
complained about exhaust fumes from 15. Imagine how bad traffic will get when Wild Waves is open for the
summer and you've increased the number of homes or apartments along Milton Rd. Wild Waves has already
made the papers for traffic gridlock. Commuters are already using Milton Rd. as a detour to go around the Fife
back up. If 19th way is extended to a through road it will get even worse with people using the short cut in
order to go around traffic. Not to mention the local tot lot park is right on that route. We certainly don't want
anything to happen to our children. If 19th way is extended Lloyds gravel trucks will use it and pass through
our neighborhood on their way to Enchanted Parkway as a shortcut. Our neighborhood streets are not built
for commercial traffic. I also can't see speed limits going up in a residential area like this...not good. This entire
proposal is a terrible idea and I will definitely be voting against it! If it is passed we are certainly going to be
looking elsewhere to live.

I might be wrong but as I understand it about 12 or so years ago WSDOT proposed a new 1-5 exit at S 375th St which
both Milton and Federal Way worked together to block. Even if my understanding is incorrect that exit should be part of

We are totally opposed to making 19th Way S. between Brittany Lane and Regency Lane a thru
street.
We already have semis parking overnight on 19th Way S near Wild Waves. Traffic drives too fast
down the hill of 19th Way S. and that is people coming into the neighborhood.You will cause a severe
safety problem if this is a thru street. Traffic is so horrible in FW already and you continue to make it
worse by changes made that don't improve driving conditions. It is no wonder many of us are
considering getting out! Dave and Judy Blake, Regency Woods residents

Ms. Clark,
I live in the Brittany Lane neighborhood and have seen the postings and received a letter regarding this developmental
plan. I have seen several concerns have already been raised, but at this point, I will reserve my comments or concerns
until I hear further from you. Would you please explain what the difference will be? Is a developer planning to put in
apartments and condos or more single family homes? The information received thus far seems very unclear.

Subject: Re: Traffic Analysis
Margaret -
The draft traffic analysis assumes that 19th Way is extended through S. 376th Street to the Milton
Road. This is not acceptable for several reasons:
1 . 19th Way will become a "minor collector" and traffic will undoubtedly increase on 19th Way. There
is a community park on this road with a posted speed limit of 20 MPH. These slow speeds are
incompatible with being a minor collector. People will not drive at the reduced speed and create a
safety risk for children playing a the community park.
2. The road extension would require crossing through the vonDoenhoff property (parcel # 322104-
9063). The easement required for this extension on their property no longer exists.
3. The proposed route would take the road through a designated wetland.
Question - can the City of Federal Way increase the density in the proposed area without this
road extension and still meet the level of service (LOS) goals for traffic in the area? Page 15 of
the draft impact statement states:
4. Additional traffic generated due to rezoning from RS35,0 to RS5.0 single family homes
would not adversely impact forecast 2040 traffic conditions.
5. S 376th Street is a Minor Collector which will be a Type S street and extended to the stub
from Regency Woods Subdivision. Milton Road S is a Principal Collector and will be
reclassified as a Type K street from a Type P as a part of the rezoning.
Traffic at the intersection of the Milton road and the Enchanted Parkway are already intolerable when
Wild Waves is operating. I don't see how the additional homes in the rezoned area would not have
an adverse impact to traffic conditions. Extending S. 376th Street to the stub in Regency Woods
would make 19th Way a minor collector and increase traffic in the subdivision to an unacceptable
level.

1. Please change Section B 4) response to "These are non-project actions. However, if future
subdivision of the area is proposed, additional environmental studies to analyze impacts on the
surface water withdrawals or diversions would be required."
2. Please change Section B 6) response to "These are non-project actions. However, if future

having this area up-zoned. This is probably no surprise to most of you, as we have
spoken out repeatedly in the past.
We are speaking as residents who hope to stay here in Federal Way, on this
property, after the upzone and any resulting development (as opposed to being
absentee landowners, or residents who pian to sell their property and move
away). It's wonderful to have a VARIETY of densities in Federal Way, and in
particular to have this quiet, peaceful, low-density area with trees and some
wildlife. The Comprehensive Plan and the amendment process should not amount
to "allow high density everywhere". Spring Valley should remain relatively low
density to protect the ecologically sensitive area that it is, including the Hylebos,
the wetlands, and the character of the area for the residents.
We feel that the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan should draw distinctions
between environmentally sensitive areas, where development density should be
limited, and less sensitive areas where higher densities could potentially be
259
permitted. The current Comprehensive Plan (Introduction and Section 2.7)
identifies Spring Valley as one of two highly sensitive areas that should be limited
to Suburban Estates zoning (1 house per 5 acres). Obviously, the current zoning in
this area of RS35.0 exceeds that density, and the area is not currently built out to
anywhere near RS35.0. What is being proposed would be a HUGE change to what
currently exists here, let alone to what is recommended in those sections of the
current Comprehensive Plan.
We don't like the idea of turning all of Federal Way into high-density residential,
all looking pretty much the same. More importantly, we see many problems
arriving with the huge increase in density that is being proposed, with traffic
being the prime example.
There are already huge backups every weekday at rush hour at the corner of 5th
Avenue and Porter— although this intersection is not technically in Federal Way, it
has a big impact on the full length of Milton Road South / 5th Avenue and backs up
into the proposed rezone area. Wild Waves traffic also creates huge backups at
certain times of day during the summer months and other times of year. The
potential addition of approximately 318 or 467 new residences in this area with
the associated vehicles would create an unbelievable traffic problem. In addition,
there are dangerous curves in Milton Road South toward the north end of the
proposed rezone area.
The City's traffic analysis assumes that S. 376th St. can be "punched through" the
middle of our 20-acre property to mitigate some of this problem. There are
several reasons why this is not feasible:
1) The City and County no longer have a Right-of-Way through our property to
punch the road through, it was vacated in 2015 — see enclosed (for paper
copies) or attached (for electronic copies) Stipulated Judgment.
2) Punching the road through would cut our 20-acre property in half, making
the south half essentially unusable for us.
3) The assumed road would run about 20 feet from the south wall of our
house, making our home and yard unlivable.
4) The assumed road would run through the middle of the wetland on the
east edge of our property.
5) The assumed road would route large amounts of traffic right next to a
children's playground and through the Regency Woods and Brittany Lane
developments, which are currently very quiet neighborhoods, and those
residents vehemently object to such a dangerous change. It would also
260
route that same traffic right past the Meridian at Stone Creek assisted living
center, where many elderly people walk.
We sincerely hope that you will vote against this proposed change to the zoning
in our area. This would still allow the potential for the area to be built out to the
current zoning limit of RS35.0, with the potential addition of approximately 49
new residences. -
However, in spite of all the concerns we have cited above, having watched the
process to date, we are concerned that it may already be a foregone conclusion
that this area will be up-zoned. With several landowners in favor of it for
economic reasons, and with the pressures on the Council and the Planning
Division to accommodate population increases, it seems as though it's considered
inevitable for all areas to migrate to higher densities in spite of all other
considerations. If that is the case, we URGE you to PLEASE consider up-zoning this
area only to an R515 designation, rather than the RS7.2 or even RS5.0 designation
that is currently under consideration. Increasing the number of residences from
21 to potentially 339 or even 488 would be such a huge increase that it will
overwhelm us in many ways. A designation of R515 will still allow approximately
141 new houses to be added, and will still result in large traffic and other
problems, but at least it will be slightly more manageable and a slightly more
tolerable.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

Margaret -
The City of Federal Way worked with many other local agencies and Earthcorps to write the Hylebos
Watershed Plan. You can download of copy of that plan here:
https://www.earthcorps.orq/ftp/ECScience/Hylebos/HylebosWatershedPlan 2016.pdf
It is too large for my email system to mail it to you. Section 6.1 of the watershed plan states "Urban
Development Causes Reduction/ Degradation of Habitat." In order to combat that degradation, the
watershed plan says to "Mandate Low Impact Development (LID)/Green Stormwater Infrastructure
(GSI) methods for new developments."
In the planning of new developments in the Milton Road area, the City of Federal Way must mandate
LID and GSI methods be used in any further development along the Milton Road. Attached is the
"Low Impact Development - Technical Guidance for Puget Sound." This document could form the
blueprint for the LID requirements mandated in the Hylebos Watershed Plan, including the following:
1 . Permeable pavement for roads and driveways in the newly developed area
2. Tree retention and planting in the area.
3. Curvilinear road maps and clustered housing to reduce impervious surfaces.
4. Minimal excavation foundations.
5. Biorention ponds and roof rainwater collection and dispersion systems.
272
Note that these requirements go beyond the requirements in the 2016 King County Surface Water
Manual, as adopted by the City of Federal Way and referenced in the SEPA checklist for this project.

Section B. 1. g. states that Regency Woods Division 2 CC&Rs prohibit further development of lots
within their division. I do not believe that this is correct. My reading of the CC&Rs (attached) says
that as long as the building meets with the requirements of the City and County and are approved by
the Architectural Control Committed of Regency Woods Division 2, additional construction could be
done if the area is rezoned to R5 or R7.6.
A few years ago someone tried to subdivide a lot in Regency Woods Division 1. It required a vote of
the homeowner's association to amend the description of the association to include the new lot. That
vote failed. I think a similar requirement would be place on someone trying to subdivide a lot in
Regency Woods Division 2.

Margaret,
Attached and within the body of,this email as seen below, are my comments regarding the DNS to Rezone the Milton
Road Area East of 1-5.
PLEASE READ THIS LETTER INTO THE RECORD
Attention: City Council and Planning Commission Members
I am opposed to the (1) Comprehensive Plan Amendment to rezone the 26 parcels in the Milton road area east
of 15 from RS 35,0 to RS 7.2 or RS 5.0, and (2) Extending 19th Way to S 376th and the Milton Road as assumed in
the Milton Road Traffic Impact Analysis. Two primary reasons are of high concern. The first is the
environmental impact.
The addition of approximately 231 new high density single family homes, plus new road infrastructure, will be
an additional source of pollution collecting in storm water. The increase in storm water pollution levels
discharging into the Hylebos waters and Puget Sound will have a negative impact on salmon and orca
populations, and other wildlife residing in this area. The City of Federal Way along with King County has a high
investment in protecting the East Hylebos, having already spent hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of
dollars to protect the East Hylebos. There is a precedent of high density rezones being declined by the City of
Federal Way for these reasons, with property owners having been denied a rezone request because of this
environmentally sensitive area. The proposed rezone that would result in increased new toxic contaminants
in storm water runoff, is in direct contradiction to the recommendations released by the Southern Resident
Orca Task Force formed by Governor Inslee's Executive Order 18-02, The Southern Resident Orca Task Force
determined that toxic contamination in storm water runoff is one of the key factors in reduced salmon and
Southern Resident Killer Whale populations, and seeks to reduce contaminate levels.
The second concern is safety and quality of life for Regency Woods and Brittany Lane homeowners. Extending
19th Way to 376`" and the Milton Road would turn 191h Way into a busy feeder street. 19`h Way runs in front
of Brittany Lane's community park. The safety of children and adults is at risk if a busy feeder street is allowed
next to a high use community park. School age children, including my daughters, cross 19`' Way twice a day to
catch the school bus to and from school. Turning 19th 'N@y into a busy feeder street puts our children's safety
at risk. Providing an easy entrance into and exit out of our community puts us at increased risk of crime,
-ma-ming it easier for criminals to steal and then quickly make an exit. Should a feeder street be allowed
through our community, our children would be exposed to more strangers in our neighborhood, putting them
at higher risk of abduction for sex trafficking purposes and other crimes against children. Additionally, new
denser housing would put an added strain on our schools that are already over-crowded, negatively impacting
our children's education.
275
For the aforementioned reasons, I am opposed to the rezoning of these parcels and the extension of 191h Way.
Regards,
Sarita Breivik

Subject: Fw: Milton Road Rezone/Rezone Between Wild Waves and Meridian Home
As a resident of Regency Woods at 1725 S. 376th Street I object to punching through 376th St. to 19th Way
South. You are putting us in danger by doing so. And the new Type S Minor Connector you want to designate
will only become a major artery like Milton Road, 1-5, and Enchanted Parkway as it goes essentially north and
south. Our neighborhood suffers enough with Wild Waves traffic in the summer and this will only make things
worse and far more dangerous.
The City of Federal Way proposes to classify 376th and 19th Way South as a Type S Minor Collector. Your own
Peak Hour analysis makes that assumption quite impossible. How can it be that traffic will not make the first
attempt to leave a principal connector to race through a residential neighborhood to rejoin another principal
connector and arterial? Your assumption that 215 new trips will be added to 19th Way South does not bear
up to the facts about traffic in Milton and Fife.
The fact is traffic from Milton Road will in fact race up and down 376th/19th Way South to reach Enchanted
Parkway or to reach Milton Road at all hours of the day not just the morning and evening rush hours. That
includes Lloyd Truck traffic and Port of Tacoma truck traffic. School bus traffic in our neighborhood is already
at odds with commuter traffic that starts around 3PM.
What is the definition of a Type S Connection again? This connector will become a major connector from one
to a full arterial - Hwy 161.
Your document didn't account for the park or the school bus stop nearby. In one public meeting the mayor
stated he didn't want residents to think the fix was in when I asked why the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan
has this connection outlined. The city planner in another public meeting made it sound like it was already a
done deal - and made it sound like it was some kind of punishment to the Regency Woods residents. Traffic is
already easily making it's way to Hwy 161 at the intersection of Milton Road and Hwy 161 and also at 369th St.
and Milton Road.
There are already trucking companies doing business in the neighborhood transferring cars into big rigs and
truck traffic is already trying to punch through only realizing they have to make a difficult U-Turn at the end of
19th Way South.
Another large source of traffic you haven't mentioned is casino traffic. Milton Road is a side artery to Hwy 99
and 1-5, designating 376th as a Minor Connector isn't possible because it runs in parallel to Hwy 99 and I-
5. The City of Federal Way simply can't allow our neighborhood to be an escape valve for port, casino and
commuter traffic.
Punching through 376th St. to 19th Way South solves no traffic problems but creates several. There is a park
right at the proposed punch through. Fife and Port of Tacoma truck traffic will use access to Regency Woods
277
neighborhood transit putting us all at risk. Commuter traffic will race up and down the roads in the morning
and evening trying to get a jump at existing signals and Wild Waves with traffic flooding the neighborhood.
From the City of Federal Way document.
"5. S 376th Street is a Minor Collector which will be a Type S street and extended to the stub from Regency
Woods Subdivision. Milton Road S is a Principal Collector and will be reclassified as a Type K street from a Type
P as a part of the rezoning."

To whom it may concern,
My family and I reside in the community of Brittany Lane and have recently been made aware of the rezoning plan. I
formally object to punching through 376th st.To 19th way south. Are you aware that there is a community park and a
school bus stop on that road? It sits there now quietly as it is a dead end road but to open it up right in from the park
would be hazardous. To put a busy street with cars driving up and down at all hours of the day would endanger our
children. We ask as a community that you reconsider.
Our community already deals with wild waves traffic.What will 376th look like in the summer when all the park-goers
are parked along that road?They'll be endangered getting in and out of their cars if this is a connector street. Residents
will no longer be able to walk their dogs peacefully with the added traffic and the values of our homes will suffer if they
will be made to sit on a busy through-street. There is no doubt that anyone (Lloyd truck traffic, port oftacoma traffic,
casino goers) heading towards hwy161 will cut through our neighborhood to get to where they are going.
Have you also taken into account the new traffic that will come from the new apartment complex going in in Milton?
Punching through 376th st to 19th way South solves no traffic problems, but creates several.Again, We as a community
ask that you reconsider solely out of safety to our residents and our children.

I am writing this as a homeowner in Regency Woods. I bought into this neighborhood some 25+years ago. I bought here
as wanting a quiet great neighborhood for children with two private parks one being in Regency and one in Brittany.
This has been a great neighborhood without through access to Milton Road. We as homeowners took this into
consideration when we bought here. Now you want to change our neighborhood? Sorry this is not what we want. Leave
us alone. Schools in the area are already overcrowded don't do this. Roads are overcrowded we don't want or need 19th
Way as a through street. This will open up our area to more crime as easy in and easy out. It would become a speed road
which changes the character of our neighborhood. Also a real hazard to our residents who use our sidewalks for
enjoying a walk through our neigh borhoods.We already have traffic problems on Milton road and heavy traffic on
Enchanted Way. Do Not Change This Zone. Do not punch 19th Way through. Safety is our concern make it yours.

have a negative impact on my neighborhood. I think the city of Federal Way needs to realize that the

hope the city of Federal Way can look beyond the revenue they are planning on receiving from the

Hi Margaret Clark (Senior Planner), I am writing to address the proposition of rezoning the area south
of S 369th & North of S 376th St. I live on 19th Way and I am highly against the rezoning of this area,
as well as, the proposition to extend 19th Way to Milton Road.
My address is 37122 19th Way S., Federal Way, WA 98003. 1 have lived her for over four years. The
attraction to this neighborhood was the beauty of the homes and the quite streets, sidewalks and
parks. Your proposition would take this away from our neighborhood. The thru way traffic would be
directly in front of my home. Which would cause major traffic thru on 19th Way, making it unsafe for
children to ride their bike, neighbors who walk our sidewalks for exercise and children who play in our
parks. Not to mention the exhaust from the increased traffic!
The rezoning for for new homes would cause the traffic on 19th way to be horrendous, not to mention
a safety hazard for the same reasons I mentioned above for Regency Woods and Brittany Lane
neighbors.
Please consider if this were your neighborhood, would you want this for your neighbors and yourself?
I think not.
Look forward to meeting you on February 20th, at the Planning Commission Meeting.
I VOTE "NO" ON BOTH OF THESE PROPOSITIONS.
Thank you;

Ms. Clark,
Please see below for additional comments.
PLEASE READ THIS LETTER INTO THE RECORD
Attention: City Council and Planning Commission Members
As it pertains to the rezone of the Milton Road Area East of 1-5, one additional concern I have is traffic impacts
on the roadways and intersections adjacent to the proposed rezone.
It is well documented and experienced during the summer months that traffic generated by Wild Waves
causes queuing and accidents all over the area. The roads and intersections are at and above capacity. The
backups affect state highways and increase response time for emergency vehicles and personnel to respond.
The rezone if approved will further degrade the level of service of the roadways. Surely this proposal requires
an Environmental Impact Study due to adverse impacts?

Subject: Opposed to the City of Federal Way's Rezoning and Building Plans
Attachments: Comp Plan Amendments - Building behind Brittany Lane (1).pdf
Dear Ms. Clark,
I am opposed to the changes the City of Federal Way is considering for parcels near my
neighborhood, Brittany Lane.
Specifically, I am opposed to the Comprehensive Plan Amendment changes shown as #1 in the
attachment here. As I stated at a City Council meeting last year, I do not wish to see higher
residential density in this area. The City has already approved a tremendous number of multi-unit
homes in this area. The schools have been overwhelmed by a sharp increase in students, and the
schools' faculty, staff, and school buildings are already stretched to their limits. I am referring to Todd
Beamer H.S., Sequoyah M.S., Rainier View Elementary, and Lakeland Elementary. Problems have
increased at these local schools due to overcrowding and even more students would have to be
accommodated if new homes are built along the Milton Road area.
I urge you not to move forward with the City's proposal to rezone the area south of S. 369th (Wild
Waves) and North of S. 376th Street (The Meridian Retirement Community) along the Milton Road
from R 35 (one home per every 35,000 square feet) to as compact as R 5.0 (one home per 5,000
square feet). I understand that this may add as many as 230 homes to the area, which would bring
additional traffic to this area also. Already, Milton Road is packed with cars trying to avoid using 1-5
during the evening rush hour. Cars line up bumper to bumper through the Milton neighborhoods near
Copper Creek Apartments. I wonder if the City has given notice to residents in those areas of what
may be coming their way.
As part of the mitigation of traffic in the area, I believe a traffic impact analysis assumes that 19th
Way is extended through Regency Woods to S. 376th Street and the Milton Road. This would make
19th Way a "minor collector" and increase traffic and traffic speeds on the roads in our
neighborhoods. This will create a safety hazard, in my opinion, in front of the Brittany Lane
community park, which is not open to the public. The increased traffic on 19th Way would detract
from the character of our neighborhood.
The proposed rezoning would also lead to builders cutting down the beautiful forest that helps
mitigate noise pollution from 1-5 for many homes in this area.
Please do not change the zoning, and do not extend the road through the forest.
Respectfully, I thank you for listening,

Subject: Rezoning south of wild waves
To Margaret Clark
Hi my name is Maksim Tomilov, my family and i live at Brittany lane community just south of wild waves. We recently
have received news of that there might be rezoning of land happening along Milton road south of Wild Waves, which
might open the door for construction for up to 230 new houses. I myself am not against new communities being build,
but it does concern me because of what solution does the city of Federal Way have for traffic if such a huge community
is built here.Traffic already is quite a pain to deal with since there is a lot of construction happening in Edgewood, We
cannot comfortably walk with our kids around the community because people drive like crazy around here, During
summer time it seems like all of the rules are completely ignored by drivers and pedestrians, My other concern is with
such a big community being built it will obviously bring in a lot of people with kids. The few elementary schools that we
have near by are rated 3/10. The schools are performing poorly and now even more parents will bring kids to the area.
The other choices are private schools, which are not that cheap. I understand that with more houses it will bring more
revenue to the city, but what is the city planning to do with that money to solve the traffic and schools problems.
We are not proponents to a new community if anything its an opportunity to invest in a new property, but the concerns
are real with traffic, schools, what kind of housing will be allowed to being built (houses or apartments). All these things
can either positively effect our area or bring a lot of problems with it. We hope that if the city approves of this rezoning
project, that the city will take proper action to deal with traffic and schools.

Subject: Response to Public Comment on Milton Way S parcel rezoning
Hello,
ly name is Lesley Roth. I live at 1639 S 374th Ct in Federal Way, which is part of the Brittany Lane
neighborhood. I am writing in response to the request for public con anent on Files 18-105523-SE and 18-
104618 UP that relate to the rezoning of land parcels along.Milton Way S from Medium to High Density
housing.
I would like to raise my serious concern about the overall plan for this area. While in theory, I am not opposed
to the changes in density for these land parcels I am opposed to the current approach regarding the
transportation plan and am very concern that fire, police and public school representatives have not
commented.
The tr tn.;lxort<<tion plan states that part of the plan is to connect 375th St to 19th Way S, which would connect
Enchantcd l'K'\V Y to 99. This "punch through" would put a major thoroughfare straight through a residential
neighborhood. Fhis poses ,,t huge risk for community safety. The traffic load would go through a neighborhood
with a residential street not designed to carry the load, be bringing in traffic through areas where driveways
have no alternative but pull into a major road, and put children playing at-a community park at risk by putting
heavy traffic in front of a space specifcalIy designed for children to play. In addition,this plan would add an
extra environmental burden to the already stressed Hybelos Watershed.
The tran portation plan ]FOO t1 ii,s area should not be looked at independently of the changes being prof oc l
Milton Way crossc-� 1:n hmid P K WY and connects with Weyerhauser Way S. The IRG project will he
inti-�_'d1 " i h'- ": h�_i�. �' -.L n1i truck load onto residential roads as well. In total,the proposed changes in bwl-j
have the significant potential to absolutely choke transportation in this area,put heavy truck loads in re.JdCnti;:tI
areas, create an unsafe environment for children, and put an extraordinary stress on the watershed.
I request that the transportation portion of the plan related to the request for zoning changes in this parcel be
adjusted to not include the 375th street punch through as well as to be looked at in conjunction with the broader
plan for the corridor running along I-5 from 320th to 1'V111ton Way S.
I also request that representatives from the fire,police and public school departments comment publicly on the
impacts to their plans for services. I would like to know their plans for absorbing; the growth in this area,
funding for addressing that growth,and their plans for navigating the change in transportation in this area based
on the publislid transportation plans.
The zoning request has a large enough impact to the area that it should not be addressed independent of a larger
study of the impact of all the proposed changes in this corridor. I would like the project planner for this project
specifically and the city council a whole to address the various aspects I have mentioned.
Thank you,

Good Evening to the Community Development Department, Planning Division,
Our property borders the woods that will be torn down,to say we are devastated is an understatement.
We moved here for that reason and our four children, by permission, have been enjoying the woods for
the past 4 years. Our address is 1610 S. 376th St. I have several reasons why I don't think this is wise to
develop all of this land (especially at high density) and punch a road through but I want to mention my
main reasons. We have a couple of apple trees on our property and have had the pleasure over the few
years we have lived here to enjoy watching the deer jump the fence and eat those apples. Where will
those deer go? Is this not an environmental concern? Besides the deer, we have seen coyotes, owls (we
love hearing them at night!), eagles, bunnies, weasels, large families of raccoons,snakes, squirrels,
enormous bullfrogs and regular sized frogs, newts and salamanders, woodpeckers, and several other
kinds of birds.There is even a turtle living in those woods! Where are they going to live and isn't this an
"adverse impact on the environment" if you were to take this away from them?
Also, if a road is punched through it will become much busier than before that it poses a risk to the
children and families and dogs playing at the park right next to our property. Additionally, children
walking to and from school on a daily basis in the dark and daytime will be a safety issue. Currently all
children are walking to the bus stop and several are crossing streets, as young as kindergartners. In my
mind this is a huge safety hazard given the fact that the traffic will increase significantly. 19th St. will
become a thoroughfare for commuters who do not have the safety of our neighbors in mind.
Please keep our children safe, no road.
These pictures below of animals were seen in our backyard or the woods, or they came from the woods
to our backyard. None of this would be possible without the woods. Several of these pictures were
taken by my children exploring the woods as well.
Sincerely,
Curtis & Christina Call
(along with Preston, Lauren, Landon and Quintin)

Dear council members,
My name is Daniel Zaharchuk
I'm writing this letter in regards to the plans for the possible road build in my neighborhood. Regency
woods/Brittany lane. We have a wonderful, beautiful neighborhood and moved here for a reason. I drive home
on Milton road everyday and it is packed with vehicles. The possibility of this going through my neighborhood
would be terrible. I want my kids to live in an area that is safe. I want this to remain a quiet and peaceful
neighborhood. I want to see people walking their dogs, I want to see people going on walks with their families.
I want to see kids riding on bicycles. I do not want to see a bunch of cars passing through, I don't want the
noise, I don't want the traffic, I don't want this to turn into a highway. Place this road and what made this a
beautiful place will be gone.
It's always been so peaceful, the scenery is great, the environment is fantastic. Just looking outside of our
windows and thinking about life, enjoying it. Looking at the blue skies or watching people walk by peaceful and
happy. I do not want to be looking at cars driving by all day.
Please consider all of this
Take care of the people that have been here
and have fallen in love with this place.
Thank You
Daniel Zaharchuk

Subject: Opposed to rezoning proposal
Dear Ms. Clark,
I oppose the rezoning proposal that affects the Regency Woods and Brittany Lane neighborhoods. Specifically
oppose the extension of 19th Way. Extending 19th Way will have a negative impact on the livability of the
two neighborhoods, redirecting traffic through a residential area and affecting the safety of the current
residents.
This proposal intentionally re-directs non-residents through a residential neighborhood, and provides NO
benefits to the current residents of these two neighborhoods. The plan is not fair to all concerned as the
residents in an established neighborhood will be affected by increased traffic, noise, and pollution. The plan
does not help the City build goodwill with current residents - Every single resident in these two neighborhoods
opposes the plan. The plan is not beneficial to both the city and current neighborhood residents. There is a
clear loser in this proposal, and that is the residents who have invested their money and their families in
Regency Woods and Brittany Lane. This plan does NOT help us in any way, and in fact, demonstrates that the
City is not willing to acknowledge or value the investments that current residents have provided to Federal
Way.
A reasonable compromise that the City could make to appease established residents AND manage growth
responsibly would be to rezone the parcels but require the developer to leave a natural, green buffer between
the redeveloped lots and the current established homes to mitigate pollution and noise. Additionally, and
most importantly, NOT extend 19th Way. There is no reasonable need to extend 19th Way- In fact,
extending it would require cutting through an identified wetland.
Thank you for considering this request.

Robert "Doc" Hansen, Planning Manager
Margaret Clark, Principal Planner
Dear Mayor Council and Planning Department.
309
I would like my information to be admitted into all records. I
will try to get my concerns documented but would like to be
able to add to this record in a timely manner if allowed.
I am a long-time resident of Federal Way and live within 1 mile
of the Rezone area. My concerns are for the high-density
buildout and what this would mean to the large parcels of land
that serve as filtration for the aquifer for this area.
Pg. 5 question 9 asks if there are any legal items that are in
process at this time:
would like to remind staff that the Ellingson property is being
mandated by the City of FW for Restoration. I am told by staff
actual work will begin in the Spring of 2019. Serious violations
were done by owner to the Class III wetland that is on his
property. This is a vital wetland as it filters run off waters from
neighbor Meridian at Stone Creek Senior Facility. This wetland
moves waters from the upper plateau down to the Conservancy
area below. Please keep in mind this wetland will be in a 3-5
year Restoration Plan.
ENVI®RMENTAL ELEMENTS:
C. states the topography make up of this area. It failed to
mention the Vashon Till. I have yet to read any evidence of
Everett (EvC) in my research. The Vashon Till are from deposits
of at least two glaciations. This till is made up of silt, sand, clay,
gravel. The East Branch of the Hylebos as well as Joes Creek
have these advance outwash deposits. Wide spread deposits
310
of Oxidized sand and gravel that apparently UNDERLIE most if
not ALL of the basin plan area at depth. (Hylebos Creek &
Lower Puget Sound Basin "Current & Future Conditions Report.
KC Surface water Mgm. Division 3-2) The Milton-Redondo
Channel yields much of Federal Way's water supply. I would like
to request the city conduct a Hydrogeologic determining the
potential impacts of contamination on the aquifer if high
density buildout is approved.
D. The question is asked if any history of unstable soils.
The answer to this is no, because the homesteaders knew of
the sandy topography. See King County Sensitive Area Study.
Back in the 1950's it was known between King County and
Federal Way that the zoning must remain low density due to
the soil make up. This is why the large parcels are critical for
the Conservancy lands and the interchange of the Hylebos
Creek. The large undeveloped parcels of the upper plateau help
to eliminate pollutants and sediment from reaching the
Hylebos Creek.
Low zoning designation is considered as an additional means to
limit the amount and rate of surface water runoff and soil
erosion into the Green river Valley and within the Hylebos
Creek drainage basin. (I must apologize that, I can not quote
311
what document this is from. I can however supply you with
that shortly, as it was found at the Historical Society of FW.
E. if a rezoned landowner wishes to put in several single-family
homes, and this does not trigger a SEPA then when exactly does
the environment get addressed: If this process states it is an
NDS, and the environment is ignored, and single-family
dwellings if built instead of high density, do not have
environmental setbacks from wetlands, buffers and streams,
again, when does the environment get addresses. This seems
to be a buffet for developers that they would not have to
subject themselves to City and State rules and procedures. This
is a serious concern and this action should be removed from
this document.
AIR:
C. While it is very generous of the staff to give so much credit
to trees and vegetation, please note that this area sits in
between 1-5 and Hwy. 99. Much pollution is created via air and
noise. The vegetation mentioned is already working overtime.
A significant tree ratio is required so please make sure the
existing landscape is not used two-fold. This plan will remove a
significant tree buffer and the air and noise effects to the
residents of Stone Creek, Regency Woods, and Britany Lanes
will be considerable. Once again, the filtration of the buffer at
the Vondenhoff's property takes on runoff from the two
neighborhood communities. To remove these trees wau-Id be
312
detrimental to the Hylebos, the nearby residents and all that
inhabit it.
Air and Traffic studies musts be done BEFORE any decisions
should be made.
WATER:
"Should construction be done through a wetland area, when
NO other alternative is possible, that this construction be done
to: 1. not alter the physical qualities of the wetland, by first not
creating an artificial drainage in the construction of dwellings
2. that no physical damage be done to the wetlands in the
installation of sewer systems.
That NO SEWERS (trunk, collector or any other semblance of
sewer operation) run through the Hylebo.
No Sanitary sewers run down a creek bed. That no sanitary
sewer lines be installed in a manner that would change the
ecosystem of wetlands, open space, sensitive areas or
greenbelts."
This is a hand written message to the city from Francis Marckx.
Mr. Marckx was not only the land owner for the area now
known as the Wet Hylebos Park, but he was also the water
Commissioner in the 1950's for Lake Haven. He understood
water, SWDM, and the sensitive nature of the Hylebos. Please
heed his advice.
PLANTS:
313
C. Any known threatened or Endangered species located on
site?
Since the Class III (Ellingson) wetland is documented as being a
habitual wetland and the Conservancy lands are a protected
waterfowl concentration area, it seems quite probable that
there are many species that are critical such as the Pileated
woodpecker. Upon further investigation I see on page 4 of the
Wetland Report for Ellingson property, conducted by
Environmental Design of Centralia, WA, states the site of
wetland and the surrounding area is primarily vegetated with
Douglas Fir Trees. The Douglas Squirrel is a protected species
as well. Eagles are also on these properties, as it is the Douglas
Fir that can offer the greatest limb strength to hold the massive
Eagle nests. The conservancy lands and the surrounding area is
critical for species habitat function. The upper plateau is very
much a part of the highly Sensitive area that is Spring Valley. I
believe further studies of species habitat needs to be looked
into, before we write off the wildlife importance and
protections.
Has data been collected by the Audubon Society in the past 5
years for this area? I request a full study of bird and mammals
in a 3 mile radius of proposed area, which would include the
Conservancy Lands.
PLANTS:
Staff approves of this list, but previous comment states clearly
that Douglas Fir are indeed on the property and cover the area
314
extensively. Please change your information to reflect Douglas
Fir are on and around surrounding area.
ANIMALS:
C. Question is asked Is site proposed a migration route?:
The answer is a firm YES. The Conservancy Lands, the West
Hylebos Park, Weyerhaeuser, and the numerous lakes provide
sustained habitat and places of rest and recuperation. It only
goes to reason that these large open spaced parcels provide
needed rest and recuperation during migration. The City needs
to address this issue if it is not confident in its own logic. Please
investigate whether this area in question is a "Key Rest Stop" as
it is related to migration. I personally have witnessed large
groups of Canadian and White geese on these properties in the
last 3 years.
D. Proposed measures for preservation or enhancing wildlife:
I find the thoughtlessness of the city to not ensure measures
are to be taken to preserve the natural setting and the wildlife
disturbing. How can the city disregard their chance to do their
part and preserve where they can, especially in this HIGHLY
SENSITIVE AREA? Can the city find someway to show some
form of good faith as stewards and solidify some guarantees,
now before developer after developer are given "Exceptions to
create their own vision, instead of the cities.
E. There are no known invasive animals b-eca-use the animals
are in their natural setting. They have room to exist in nature
315
where they are of no harm to residents. The concern for
invasive animals will present itself if this rezone is granted.
ENVIORMENTAL HEALTH:
A. 1. Asks the question of any known toxic substances
presently or used in the past. I would like to remind City
staff that our entire area was subject to what is known as
the Tacoma Smelter Plume. This toxic substance was
spread over 1000 sq. miles of our Lower Puget Sound
Basin. The proposed sites fall in to the: UNDER 20 PPH
rating as found on King County Parcel viewer. In other
words the site is less than 3 miles from the Tacoma
smelters. Look under the "District" Information link. Very
last item on page.
2/3. Question relating to underground pipelines:
would like to add that this is an aged-out line. It is nearly
10 years past its life span. The line sits roughly 3-5 ft.
under the land, and heavy machinery treading over the
line can cause failure in the pipeline. Developers are the
leading cause of pipeline failures. This is stated by the U.S.
Dept. of Transportation: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration. Oct. 2010 (Office of Pipeline Safety)
This line should be of paramount concern to city, citizens
and the environment. We can never be so lackadaisical in
our of€oft-, as to allow the catastrophic disaster that
happened in Whatcom County. Please keep this highly
316
explosive, aged out, hazardous pipeline in the fore thought
of this and all projects along this line, going forward. It is
in the Cities Comprehensive plan that is clearly defined
that it is the city who shall look after the health, and
quality of life of its citizens when making zoning decisions.
A mishap could spell disaster for the Hylebos and the
Conservancy lands.
4/5. For the reasons described in my answer to previous
question, an emergency plan should be priority number
one. If multiple developments are taking place at the
same time, as well as light rail development, the city of
Federal Way most certainly needs an emergency plan prior
to this approval. Have Fire and Rescue been contacted
about the projected high-density buildout? Have studies
been conducted for such events as landslides or exploding
pipelines for example?
NOISE:
1. While it is helpful to have the cities codes in place to
regulate the noise that will take place during the build out
phase. This does nothing for the 24/7 noise from 1-5 and
Hwy. 99. The existing trees and vegetation serve a great
purpose and to remove would be another major hit for the
entire area. Please do a complete air study, factoring in
the multiple trees that will be removed during
development. The ever exp-anding run-ways at Sea Tac -
airport is a huge factor in our citizens health. The plane
317
noise MUST be factored in to the quality of citizen health.
We have recently learned from city meetings just how
harmful jet noise is in our overall long-term health. Couple
this with very little vegetation to absorb pollutants and
noise, and the high build out area could become
unhealthy to live. Hearing is a vital for sustained
wellbeing. Consider the many small factors. Noise, air,
earth etc., when stacked upon each other, the multiple
impacts to a highly sensitive area will be irreparable and
citizen health decline.
I would like to please ask that I submit this document into
record and I may finish my responses in the near future. I
have answered several questions here and I am hoping
Staff will allow me to enter more in a timely manner.
I appreciate you listening to my concerns and appreciate
your patience as I responded in kind.
Thank you for this opportunity to speak up for the wildlife,
our Aquifer and the Hylebos.

Subject: Milton Road Rezone, 1995 EIS
Margaret -
First, I want to thank you for tracking down the 1993 draft EIS and the 1995 Final EIS for the City of Federal
Way. I appreciate your consistent communication and your time in this project.
The EIS finalized in 1995 did not consider the impacts of development o1 tlic area near the Milton Road. At the
time of the 1995 EIS, this area was not annexed by the City. Tlic LCIS is bmscd on a combination of two
scenarios that stated that development in the south end would occur along I lighxvay 99 north of 336th
Street. However, in the intervening time the City has annexed the area near the N-1111ton Road, development has
occurred, and a Hylebos Watershed plan was written.
WAC 197-11-172 ( Planned actions—Project review) states that the city should verify "that the probable
significant adverse environmental impacts of the project have been adequately addressed in the EIS prepared
under WAC 197-11-164 (1)(1)) through review of an environmental checklist or other project review form as
specified in �A/AC 197-11-31 a". % itli all the changes that have gone forward in the C11,1. since 1995, and with
the planned expansion of transit and liousing South of 336th Street, I do not feel that the 1995 EIS adequately
addresses the adverse environmental effects of the City's projc,ts in the area around the Milton Road. A simple
environmental checklist as described in WAC 197-11-90 i.. ( r a planned project proposal; an EIS is typically

Dear Ms. Margaret Clark,
We are Matthew and AnhDu Do at Regency Wood, 37540 21stAve S Federal Way, 98003.
Here our concern:
1- Was the 376th bridge, crossing 1-5 built for heavy traffic, and commercial trucks (>10 tones)?
2- Was 19th Way S/376st S built for heavy traffic?
3- 1 saw big trucks (>10 tones) going up on Milton. How do you prohibit them driving on 19th Way S/376st S?
4- 19th Way S/376st S was built as residential street so there are many houses facing it, children walk and play
around it. It is next to community part so heavy traffic will be very dangerous for residents.
5- Area is too closed to senior living facility. If a community is built next to it, it will destroy their peacefulness,
their quiet life style which they are looking for at their age.
6- Rezone it to build another senior living facility.
Best Regard,

Subject: Non Project Actions, Milton Road Rezone
Margaret -
At the Planning Commission meeting on 2/6/19 Wayne Carlson and Doc Hansen both spoke about
how the Milton Road rezone was a Non Project action. As such, the view expressed by both Mr.
Carlson and Mr. Hansen was that impacts from projects would be considered once the projects are
proposed, not during the rezoning process since no specific projects have been proposed. I disagree
with that view.
Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) gives guidance on the SEPA process for Non
Project Actions:

lead-agencies/Non-project-proposals
This guidance states "When a nonproject action involves a comprehensive plan or similar
proposal governing future project development, the probable environmental impacts that would be
allowed for the future development need to be considered." DOE considers traffic and water two of
several elements to be considered:
https-//ecology.wa.gov/Regulations-Permits/SEPA/Environmental-review/SEPA-guidance/SEPA-
checklist-guidance
I applaud the City doing a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) with the SEPA determination. That analysis is
in the spirit of the guidance noted above and was missing from the previous rezone SEPA DNS. The
TIA assumes that the S. 376th will be extended from Regency Woods to the Milton Road As you
heard in the 2/6/19 Planning Commission Meeting, this extension is unacceptable to the local
residents of Regency Woods and Brittany Lane. Since we are in the process of changing the City's
Comprehensive Plan, can this minor collector road extension be removed from the Comprehensive
Plan? 322
With respect to the water environment, no additional analysis of stormwater impacts on the Hylebos
Watershed was done as part of the SEPA process for the Milton Road Rezone. The City, I believe,
assumes that construction to the existing codes adopted by the City of Federal Way will be sufficient
ta-n trgate^development-impact-onA-he-watershed—l-disagree-with4hi,- a�&sum-ptior4.-T-ie--Webos.
Water Shed plan states that "Urban Development Causes Reduction/ Degradation of Habitat" and
proposes the adoption of "Low Impact Development (LID)/Green
Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) methods for new developments." Adoptions of these methods goes
beyond the King County Surface Water Design Manual that is adopted by the City. The Watershed
Plan can be found here:
https://www.earthcorps.org/ftp/ECScience/Hylebos/HylebosWatershedPlan 2016.pdf
Further, the guidance from DOE on Non Project Actions states:
"SEPA review for nonproject actions requires agencies to consider the "big picture" by:
• Conducting comprehensive analysis
• Addressing cumulative impacts
• Considering possible alternatives
• Outlining successful mitigation measures"
With the redevelopment of the Weyerhaeuser complex coupled with the proposed Rezone of the
Milton Road area, the City is failing to look at the cumulative impacts on the East Hylebos creek -
system. This fact alone I believe challeges the overall finding of non-significance in this SEPA DNS,
The City of Federal Way is growing and expanding rapidly. The City last did an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) in 1995, with a majority of the work was done in 1993. The EIS was predicated on a
combination of two Land Use concepts and looked out for development for 20 years. Our City has
embraced some elements of those two concepts, but has expanded beyond the scope of those
concepts. It's been 24 years since the City has conducted a comprehensive environmental review of
the entire city. Writing a new EIS would allow citizen input on what codes, policies and practices the
city should adopt to preserve the environment in Federal Way and would allow the city to address the
cumulative impacts to the Hylebos system from overall City development. I propose that the City take
a step back from the Milton Road Rezone and conduct a thorough EIS for the entire city. This year
the City is considering light rail extensions in the City, a light rail maintenance facility, a high density
mix use project near the commons, the redevelopment of the Weyerhaeuser property, and the
Rezone 55+ acres near the Milton Road. If this level of development doesn't trigger a larger
environmental review process in the City, I ask what would ever trigger a new comprehensive EIS
from the City??
323
In summary, I am asking for the S. 376th extension be removed from the City's comprehensive plan
and for the City to conduct anew city wide EIS.
Thanks, Margaret, for all your time and support.

Shannon and I are the owners of the five acre property at 1515 So. 272nd St. S located in the identified area for rezoning
to either RS 7.2 or RS 5.0. We are in support of the proposed action. We also want to express our desire for rezoning to
the RS 5.0 level, as there is a dire need for middle class housing in the area near good mass transit (freeways, buses and
upcoming light rail). This would allow for development to be financially feasible.

Subject: Oppose 324th Road Extension and Milton Road Area Legislative Rezone
As homeowners in Regency Woods, we strongly urge you not to move forward with the City's
proposal to rezone the area south of 369th and North of South 376th Street along Milton Road from R
35 (one home per every 35,000 square feet) to as compact as R 5.0 (one home per 5,000 square
feet).
We purchased our house in Regency Woods almost twenty years ago because we were drawn to an
area that's quiet, safe and is dedicated to protecting woods and wetlands. Now, we're extremely
concerned about how these proposals will compromise the safety of our neighborhoods.
Before a final decision is made on these proposals, we implore you to have project staff:
• Conduct an updated Environmental Impact Study to determine existing conditions (since
the last study was completed in the `90's) and determine any the negative impacts that these
proposals will create.
• Study the impacts and potential safety solutions to traffic increasing exponentially
around Wild Waves, especially during peak seasons when visitors park in adjoining streets
and how trucks from Lloyd Enterprises (gravel) along with semitrucks trying to get around
traffic on Highway 99 and 1-5.
• Contact affected residents in the City of Milton (e.g. Copper Creek residents and
Meridian at Stone Creek senior living community) and report back to the public on their
responses to these proposals - especially given how deforestation and additional traffic on
roads adjacent to their communities are already experiencing extreme congestion.
• Contact staff, planning commissioners and elected officials at the City of Milton and
report back to the public on how they plan to address increased traffic and the associated
human and wildlife safety issues.
o For example, will a traffic light be placed at Milton Road and South 376th and at Milton
Road and Porter Road and to control the existing and future congestion? Currently,
turning south on Porter Road from Milton Road is dangerous, especially during peak
hours. Children waiting for the school bus or anyone trying to walk or ride their bike is
treacherous without any buffer from cars that can't see them due to blind corners and
no street lights on the Federal Way section.
Please help us to continue enjoying living in this neighborhood by allowing children and families to
safely walk, ride bikes and play in nearby community parks while sharing the protected wetlands and
woods with wildlife.
Thank you,
Diane and Melinda Evans

COMMISSION BUSINESS
PUBLIC HEARING:2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments/3241h Road Extension
City Traffic Engineer Perez delivered the staff presentation_ He went over the proposal and its history.
The original reason for an extension of 324"' is to improvc access to and from the City Center. As part of
the proposal, staff recommends bicycle/pedestrian access to 32;`:1 from 324" as part ol'the continuation of
the BPA trail. Commissioner O'Neil asked for clarification that the city will get the land from IRG.
Engineer Perez stated that when they develop, the will give the city the land for the road (and thereby will
not have to pay any traffic impact fees). Commissioner O'Neil asked who will pay for the road. Engineer
Perez replied that the city is working on funding. Chair Carlson opened the meeting for public testimony.
Richard Pierson—He has written comments he will submit. He is opposed to the proposed
extension. One reason is he feels it will have adverse effects on other aspects of the comprehensive
plan. He feels the existing alignment is a way to add a ring road on the east side. He commented
that to access 32nd from the proposed extension, one would have to make two left turns and a right.
Left turns lead to more accidents than right turns. He is also concerned with the safety of the -
intersection of the proposed 324"' and Weyerhaeuser Way because it will be on a curve. It is not
clear how the proposed road will bisect East Camp0 s.
Planning Commission Minutes February 20,2019
Suzanne Vargo—She spoke in opposition of the proposal. She noted that the retention pond that
was put into place in the 70s will be removed and a large retention pond put on North Lake. She
does not think this is a good idea for the hydrology and environmental sensitivity of the area. We
need to leave something for the future. She also noted that the Olympic pipeline would have to be
moved and is concerned about the safety(mentioned the pipeline accident that had happened in
Whatcom County). An accident could be catastrophic for our area as these are the headwaters of
the Hylebos.
Public testimony was closed.
Commissioner O'Neil is concerned over the amount of road building that would be necessary for this
project. Can DaVita work with the city to leave the plan as it is?Engineer Perez commented that they
presently lease a building to the west and want only a parking lot between the buildings. The city was
unable to come up with an alignment that would allow this. In the current plan,the road would go right
through their proposed building. Commissioner O'Neil asked if the city will plan for a round-about at
Weyerhaeuser Way and 324''. Engineer Perez stated the city will consider it. It would help address the
concern with left turns. He went on to say the city will be looking for some of the funding to come from
the state. It will be a multi-phase project with a cost likely of over '/4 billon. He expects it will be six to ten
years for the first phase. Commissioner O'Neil asked if the city will be moving the retention pond as
stated. Engineer Perez stated the city has no plans to move the retention pond.
Commissioner Medhurst commented that he feels the proposal will lead to a redundant road to
accommodate a developer; a road that from a traffic standpoint we don't need. Engineer Perez
commented that since staff hasn't completed an analysis for 324"',we don't know if the original plan
would be sufficient to accommodate the proposed traffic.
Commissioner Meader McCausland asked for clarification of the timing of this proposal. Why is the
proposed extension needed right now?Engineer Perez stated that DaVita has submitted their land use
plans to the city and will be unable to develop according to their plans unless the proposed extension
realignment is granted. They will abandon the project, and likely the city has a whole, if the realignment
is not approved. The actual construction of the road likely won't happen for another ten years.
Chair Carlson asked staff to show where the Olympic pipeline runs through the city. Engineer Perez
commented that the city will have to deal with the pipeline whether this proposal is accepted or not.
Commissioner Bronson suggested the Commission table until this fall until we know more about what
will happen at the crossing where 3246'crosses I-5. Deputy City Attorney Orthmann explained that since
this is a public hearing, the commission must take action as outlined in the staff report(adopt,not adopt,
no recommendation, or adopt as modified). Timing is critical for the DaVita project.
Commissioner Bronson moved and Commissioner Noble-Gulliford seconded.to recommend that the
proposed amendment not be adopted. Discussion was held of how denial of the proposed amendment will
affect the DaVita project. The city doesn't have a firm timeline; but knows DaVita wants to break ground'
as soon as possible. Community Development Director Davis commented that DaVita may choose not to
relocate to Federal Way if the realignment is denied. DaVita wants to consolidate their operations and
their current proposed project is the best way for them to do that. The project is not feasible with the
current road plan. He stated the proposed realignment is about connectivity and the road will remain in
the comprehensive plan whether as currently proposed or realigned.The road will be needed because
there is not enough capacity on 320`h to handle the future traffic. Chair Carlson commented that he
supports the proposal. He appreciates that the city is considering a bicycle/pedestrian route. In addition,
lie feels employment opportunities should be considered. Commissioner O'Neil commented that he has
331
Planning Commission Minutes February 20,2019
walked in the area and feels there is no"good"answer, but considering it could bring in jobs,supports the
proposal. Commissioner Bronson feels there much is going on in the area that are not certain and feels
there hasn't been enough study of the impacts. A roll-call vote was held(Carlson,no; Medhurst,no;
Bronson,yes; Elder, no;Noble-Gulliford, no;Meader McCausland, no; O'Neil, no) and the motion failed.
Commissioner Bronson moved and Commissioner Elder seconded to recommend that the proposed
amendment be adopted. There was no further discussion. The vote was held and the motion carried
(unanimous). The public hearing was closed.
PUBLIC HEARING: 2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments/Milton Road Area Legislative Rezone
Planning Manager Hansen delivered the staff report. He went over the history of the proposal. He also
explained the SEPA process, significance, and the differences between project and non-project actions.
The city received 37 comments in opposition to the proposal and two in favor. Manager Hansen g4ve a
summary of the comments. He noted they deal with project issues as opposed to the non project proposal.
Project issues will be considered when a project is applied for. He noted the only change proposed is the
change to the zone(apartments are not allowed in the proposed zone). Chair Carlson opened the hearing
for public testimony.
Suzanne Vargo—She is speaking for the animals and trees/vegetation. The typography is Vashon
Till (sandy loom). She asks that the city perform an EIS for the entire area. She noted the
restoration of the Ellingson wetland has not been fulfilled and it has been two years. The city
sounds like they expect nothing to happen once the rezone takes effect. People will build more
houses once the rezone is in effect. She is concerned for the pipeline,the aquifer, and typography.
She requests the city have a hydrological critical areas assessment done.
Roger VonDoenhoff—He is against the proposal. It will lead to traffic,crime, and detrimental
environmental impacts. The city says this is a non-project action, and therefore project issues
don't matter, but the intent is to allow projects to happen. Yes,there are regulations, but the intent
is to make developments work. This is the appropriate time for us to express our concerns. The
city needs to consider all the impacts and how to mitigate them. He asks that the city consider RS
15 zoning and that the road through his property be deleted.
Mark Spaur—He gave the Assistant Piety a copy of his PowerPoint presentation to be included
with the minutes. He disagrees with what Manager Hansen said that project issues should not be
considered as part of a non-project action. Future development needs to be considered. The 1995
EIS didn't consider this area because it was not a part of Federal Way at that time. He went over a
number of regulations he feels the city did not address adequately. A number of projects have
been done in this area and the city should do a comprehensive EIS that considers all the changes.
He asks the city take into account regulations for low impact development.
Rick Beard—One of the original applicants for the proposed rezone. The Puget Sound area is in
the midst of a housing crisis. In order to keep people from homelessness, we need houses.
Building more homes will help everyone.
Lesley Roth—She lives in Brittany Lane. She is concerned with the environment and pipeline.
She suggested an updated EIS be done to consider all factors. She is not against growth, but it
needs to be done in a measured and understood way.
Pam Otteson—She lives within the rezone area. She is in favor of the proposal. When you drive down
19"' Way South you will discover it ends in a barrier, like it should have gone farther. There are 19
driveways on it and the road is wide with adequate sight distance for each driveway. There are 12
driveways on Milton Road, but the road is not very wide and the driveways all have inadequate sight
distance. If the area is developed, Milton Road would be widened and there will be sidewalks.
332
Planning Commission Minutes February 20,2019
Yuri Zaharchuk—He is opposed to the proposal. A lot of older people and kids walk and ride their
bikes on 19`x' Way South. He is concerned for their safety.They have a lot of problems with crime.
Robert Coleman—He agrees with the idea of removing the proposed minor collector from the
comprehensive plan. It will become a major through thru if it is built. There is a major school bus
stop in the area. There is a sign stating compression brakes may not be used, meaning truck traffic
is allowed.
Mary Perron—She lives near Wild Waves and sees a lot of crime. People park on the outskirts of
the park and ignore the no parking signs. She doesn't feel safe. They hang out in the cars and
drive too fast.
Darrin Beam—Punching through the road will lead to more traffic. They have a fantastic
neighborhood that would be destroyed. There is a lot of drug activity in the area. Punching the
road through will lead to more homelessness in the area.
Arnie Ellingson—One of the original applicants. He has four properties in the area. He has been
trying for five years to rezone. He wants to retire. Most of the people testifying have houses
already. They want his trees to stay to protect them from the noise. The city has an ordinance
stating that a certain number of trees must stay if the property is development. He wants to be
able to develop his land.
Edith Neether—She is one of the original applicants. She has lived in the area since 1968. She
went over the history of the area and noted she has a right to develop her property. She feels her
area is neglected. The road is dirty and traffic is very bad. She and her husband want to move.
Alex Costin—Regency Woods and Brittany Lane are one of the best kept secrets in Federal Way.
It is shielded from the noise of I-5 by the trees in the proposed rezone area. If the trees go, the
noise will become unbearable. He is also very concerned about the crime in the area. He feels he
is forced to keep loaded guns in his house due to the crime in the area. The city needs to consider
the long-term impacts. Many people have already moved out of the area because of crime and
traffic, and the rezone will only increase the problems.
Sherri Stanton— She lives in Regency Woods. She opposes the rezone. She suspects the rezone
will have a negative impact on her neighborhood. Families in the neighborhood want a safe place
to raise their kids. They want to feel the city supports them. And they want a clean environment.
Roger Swenson—He lives next to Wild Waves. He has seen a lot of wildlife in his yard(including
cougars and bears). When they redid Milton Road not long ago, they made his driveway steeper.
More work on the road will make it even steeper. This makes it hard for him and his wife to get
out of the driveway. He sees people doing drugs and has had people attempt to steal his vehicles.
Growth happens, but he is concerned with the crime it is bringing.
The public testimony was closed.
Commissioner O'-Nei-1 agrees that if the-area is rezoned, people will soon begin to-develop the area.-He is
concerned with the infrastructure. We need to be sure we have the infrastructure to support the
development. Specifically, he is concerned if the city will be able to support the traffic and if the schools
will be able to support the influx of students. In addition, he has heard that Lloyds plans to redevelop with
multi-family, which while not in Federal Way, will send more traffic through Federal Way.
333
Planning Commission Minutes February 20,2019
Commissioner Noble-Gulliford asked how citizens would apply to remove the proposed road from the
comprehensive plan. Engineer Perez explained the procedure. She then asked if a cluster development be
allowed. Manager Hansen responded that currently cluster development is a demonstration project in the
code. Per the current code,there would not be a change of density with a cluster development. There
would have to be a code amendment to allow a cluster development in this area.
Discussion was held about how many houses might be developed in the proposed rezone area. Staff feels
when taking constraints into consideration, up to 144 houses could be developed in the area.
Commissioner Medhurst doesn't understand why the city is pursuing a rezone of this area when the
owner(Mr. VonDoenhoff) of 20 percent of the land opposes the rezone.Manager Hansen commented
that the city is considering the long range impacts. It takes into consideration the comprehensive plan
policy of infill development. The city's analysis shows that an area zoned compatible with adjacent areas
is "protected"and will create an area in which the density is not increased. He also noted that changing
the zoning doesn't require the property to make changes.
Discussion was held in regards to the proposed 376`x'street. Engineer Perez noted that one of the concern
of the city is connectivity, which is why 376th is shown extended. Engineer Perez has heard that Lloyd's is
interested in developing warehouses. If this happens„ federal Way would be opposed to any plans that
would send trucks to the north. The city would expect developers to improve roads to al low trucks to
travel south.
Commissioner Meader McCausland asked if there are any planned improvements to Milton Road.
Engineer Perez commented that is in the comprehensive plan to be widened to two lanes, but this is not a
high priority, so is many years away. There are many competing priorities. Commissioner Meader
McCausland would like to see an additional environmental study in this area.
Commissioner O'Neil asked if the school district has any say in the proposed rezone. Manager Hansen
replied that the city notified the school district of the proposal and they had no comment. Attorney
Orthmann commented that school impact fees will help with any impacts.
Commissioner Bronson moved and Commissioner Noble-Gulliford seconded to recommend that the
proposed amendment be adopted as proposed. There was no additional discussion. The vote was held and
the motion carried(six yes and one no). The public hearing was closed.

Planning Commission Minutes February 20,2019
Thank you Council for this opportunity to speak.
Here are the reasons why changing the zoning for this area is a bad idea.
Topography: The make up of the land according to soils Maps are Vashon Till,
with Sandy Loam being prevalent. And we have the Lloyd's sand pit as visual. The
zoning according to an 1952 King County Planning Commission study has this to
say about decisions regarding this Highly Sensitive Area.:
The Soils Map shows soils with slide characteristics and slopes more than 25%,
that the slide potential is such that permanent forests use is recommended and
residential development at its densest should be no more than one house per
acre.
The Commission adds that the slide characteristics do not manifest themselves
until, land is cleared, roads are constructed and so on. It is too late to fix the
problems.
The zoning in this area one home per 35,000:These are the reason given for this
zoning.
• A designation of low density designation is considered as an additional means
to limit the amount and rate of surface water runoff and soil erosion with in
the Hylebos Creek Drainage Basin.
• Urban design and aesthetics are important to the community and affected by
density. Low density designations are made in portions of Federal Way as a
means of protecting a rural character, preserving a visual image of trees and
protecting the edges of the FW Community.
• The KC Comprehensive Plan's INTENT to consider neighborhood characteristics
and community sentiment in determining the appropriate level of density is
reaffirmed.
• In fact on April 9, 1379 the County Council passed Motion No. 4132 approving
reclaim reclassification.
• To preserve and protect environmentally sensitive areas and agricultural land.
335
• The winery is a beautiful example of how low density can be attractive
economical, and helpful to the lands. The city should be more receptive to
supporting these unique businesses in our sensitive areas.
• Aquifer: This area is also a part of the Redondo-Milton Channel Aquifer. Just
one more reason it is considered Highly Sensitive. Please consider FWRC Title
19, Chapter 145, Article V Critical Aquifers and read on the restrictions for
development. Also note the Aquifer FWRC 19.145.80 "Prohibited Activities in
Six-Month and One Year Capture Zones would apply.
• The Olympic pipeline runs under the desired rezoning areas well. The pipeline
according to City code should not be allowed at this time. Installed in the 60's
the line is aged out, and permits must be required from all stake holders in
which FW is one. The #1 failure to these pipelines is developers. We can not
afford to have a Whatcom County in our Conservancy area. No amount of
money should allow such a terrible idea. I ask that the City conduct a
Hydrogeological Critical Area Assessment Report prepared by a qualified
groundwater scientist determining the potential impacts of contamination on
the aquifer.
• Also please consider the critical buffer of trees as they serve our community
well. These trees were protected for a reason. It is the mitigation for Brittany
Lanes Wild Waves and Regency Woods. Why when more pressures than ever
on this area, would we think these could be removed without any
consequences. This is foolish thinking. As planners it is important to know
your history. Some percentage must remain in any said area of development.
The allotments have been done. Buildout was accomplished. You can't keep
taking the same percentage of the pie every time you develop.
• These trees aid in the macrobenthic invertebre that are the primary food for
the salmon. They travel throughout the creek and depend on the trees,
stones, and waters for food and habitat. Destroying this critical tree buffer is
depleting the creek that supports our aquifer and the habitat that dwell with in
it.
• 1 witl stop here and say I don't understand tow topography and hydrology,
historical facts, and past recommendations and not important factors here.
This land was completely dismantled in the 50's with the construction of 1-5.
336
This area gets built out with Wild Waves, Brittany Lanes, Regency Woods, Todd
Beamer and Park 16. All mentioned in your Hylebos Plan as areas we should
never allow in the future. Example Wild Waves being allowed to use Mud Lake
and turn it into an impervious water feature. When is enough, enough? What
has been saved in our city? Why is nothing more important than the all mighty
dollar? City Comp Plans state sit is the cities responsibility to provide healthy,
high quality of life now and for generations to come.
• This is why we come to you. You are the only that will make these decisions.
What BAS do you have that would warrant going against past King County
Commissions logical and thoughtful zoning for this area?
• Thank you for your time. I hope this information will be heavily considered in
your up coming decision.

February 20, 2019
Federal Way Planning Commission:
I am aggrieved by the City of Federal Way determination of Nonsignificance (File
No. 18-105898-00-SE) the extension of proposed South 324th Street to
Weyerhaeuser Way South with the elimination of the connection to 32end
Avenue South for the following reasons at this point:
Subjecting Weyerhaeuser Way South to approximately 5,000 vehicles per day
(p.14) does not recognize the traffic dispersion incorporated into the 2015
Comprehensive Plan utilizing both 32end Ave. S. (to S.320th and North) and
Weyerhaeuser Way S. (via S 323rd Street). For traffic to proceed on the possible
ring road to the East of 1-5 going from the comp plan S 324th St. to S 312' St and
onward to Military Road., with the extension of 324th to Weyerhaeuser Way S.,
this "ring road" traffic whose apparent objective is to disperse traffic from the city
center will have to take a left turn onto Weyerhaeuser Way South and then
another left turn onto S. 320th St. and finally a right turn onto 32end Ave S (north
transit of "ring road") to S. 312th St. where it will pass over 1-5 to the edge of the
current city center.. This is a needles revision of traffic volumes created by the
proposed extension of 324th St. adding driving time and additional safety risks
created by two additional left turns and a right turn to get back on the extension
of 32end Ave S. North, Exhibit B of the DNS (12/21/ 2018) clearly shows the
extension of 32end Ave. S to the north of S. 320th St. This will have an adverse
effect on the other aspects of the comp plan. Also an added safety issue related
to the intersection of the proposed extension and Weyerhaeuser Way which at
that point is on a curve was not reviewed.
This proposed change in response to Staff Comments Vl. 1 (5) is not clear how this
extension prevents the bisecting of a road through what they call the East
Campus. 32411 St. will go primarily along the north boundary of CP-1 and per the
comp plan into OP-1 to the North.
In addition by my estimate the extension will require about 200 more feet of road
construction requiring extra costs and crossing a gas-pi-peitne-which wfl4 bring
338
additional costs to the project and more environmental loss associated with road
building.
Also under the proposed determination all of the increased traffic volume of
5,000 vehicles will go onto Weyerhaeuser Way South instead of being dispersed
both onto Weyerhaeuser Way South and 32end Ave. South and its extension
north. In addition to the 5,000 vehicles, cited in the DNS the 2015 Comprehensive
Plan and no evidence has been presented that the 5,000 vehicles above
recognized the proposed developments of DaVita and Industrial Reality Group's
permit estimates to be initially 7,000 additional vehicles and 800 trucks per day.
Staff did not provide a response to review of their data in light of the additional
traffic from city applications for development.
Relative to the SEPA Environmental Check list item 8. b., forest land use has been
practiced on the proposed street extension consistent with 1994 Concomitant
Agreement requiring a "Managed Forest Buffer" around the perimeter of the
property. Not constructing the extension of S.324th St. to Weyerhaeuser Way
South will maintain the retention of the Managed Forest Buffer along the
proposed realignment.
Check list item 12. b. statement that the extension of S.324th street would "not
displace any existing recreational use is challenged given the depiction of a trail in
the City of Federal Way's "Weyerhaeuser Headquarters Site Conditions and
Considerations" document, January 2015. Staff did not dispute this fact.
I recommend that the City of Federal Way not adopted the proposed comp plan
amendment for the extension of 324th S. to Weyerhaeuser Way as proposed in
this DNS. It does have significant impacts to traffic safety, recreation, budget and
the environment.

ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENT RECEIVED

Margaret Clark
From: Diane Evans <ladydi98_99@yahoo.com>
Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2019 7:30 PM
To: Tina Piety, Margaret Clark
Subject: Oppose 324th Road Extension and Milton Road Area Legislative Rezone
As homeowners in Regency Woods, we strongly urge you not to move forward with the City's
proposal to rezone the area south of 369th and North of South 376th Street along Milton Road from R
35 (one home per every 35,000 square feet) to as compact as R 5.0 (one home per 5,000 square
feet).
We purchased our house in Regency Woods almost twenty years ago because we were drawn to an
area that's quiet, safe and is dedicated to protecting woods and wetlands. Now, we're extremely
concerned about how these proposals will compromise the safety of our neighborhoods.
Before a final decision is made on these proposals, we implore you to have project staff:
• Conduct an updated Environmental Impact Study to determine existing conditions (since
the last study was completed in the '90's) and determine any the negative impacts that these
proposals will create.
Study the impacts and potential safety solutions to traffic increasing exponentially
around Wild Waves, especially during peak seasons when visitors park in adjoining streets
and how trucks from Lloyd Enterprises (gravel) along with semitrucks trying to get around
traffic on Highway 99 and 1-5.
• Contact affected residents in the City of Milton (e.g. Copper Creek residents and
Meridian at Stone Creek senior living community) and report back to the public on their
responses to these proposals - especially given how deforestation and additional traffic on
roads adjacent to their communities are already experiencing extreme congestion.
• Contact staff, planning commissioners and elected officials at the City of Milton and
report back to the public on how they plan to address increased traffic and the associated
human and wildlife safety issues.
o For example, will a traffic light be placed at Milton Road and South 376th and at Milton
Road and Porter Road and to control the existing and future congestion? Currently,
turning south on Porter Road from Milton Road is dangerous, especially during peak
hours. Children waiting for the school bus or anyone trying to walk or ride their bike is
treacherous without any buffer from cars that can't see them due to blind corners and
no street lights on the Federal Way section.
Please help us to continue enjoying living in this neighborhood by allowing children and families to
safely walk, ride bikes and play in nearby community parks while sharing the protected wetlands and
woods with wildlife.
Thank you,
Diane and Melinda Evans

SUBJECT: Status Report on the SWM Comp Plan/CIP Update and Rate Study
Financial Impacts
No financial impacts to the 2019/2020 SWM Operational or CIP(304)budgets.
Background
The SWM Comp Plan/CIP Update and Rate Study project was approved in June 2017 by City Council.
In August 2018, Herrera Environmental Consultants, Inc. was contracted to evaluate the City's
Stormwater Management(SWM)program, status of its infrastructure, and analyze watershed needs to
allow for planning of increased requirements under the next NPDES Phase II permit,continued flood
reduction efforts, and capital improvement projects.
SWM incorporated a rate study within this project to analyze impacts of increased permit requirements,
aging infrastructure needs, and increased urban growth to the program and determine if changes need to
be made to SWM's current utility rates and structure.
This status report is an informational brief on the progress of this project.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 4, 2019
TO: Land Use and Transportation Committee
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: EJ Walsh, P.E., Public Works Director
Tony Doucette, P.E., Sound Transit Liaison"
SUBJECT: Update on the Development Agreement with Sound Transit for the Federal Way Link
Extension
BACKGROUND:
The Federal Way Link Extension (FWLE) Project is part of the Sound Transit 2 and Sound
Transit 3 Plans that were approved by voters in 2008 and 2016, respectively. Sound Transit is in
the procurement phase of the FWLE Project that will connect the existing Angle Lake Light Rail
Station to a new Federal Way Transit Center Station by 2024 with intermediate stops at
Kent/Des Moines Road and S 272nd St. Improveinents within Downtown Federal Way include a
neNv station at the Federal Way Transit Center, constructing a parking garage to add
approximately 400 spaces, and a new grid road layout between S 316th St, S 320" St, 21St Ave S,
and 23 `I :1ve S.
As part of the FWLE project, Sound Transit has requested two agreements with the City. One is
a Development Agreement that will outline the roles, responsibilities, code requirements and
deviations, permitting framework, design review approach and design standards for the project.
The second is separate Transit Way Agreement that is essentially a Franchise Agreement and
will allow construction, operation, and maintenance of a Light Rail Transit System on,under,
and over property in which the City has and will retain an ownership interest, including of public
rights-of-way. This update addresses the Development Agreement. Council has already
approved Ordinance #19-864 approving the Transit Way Agreement.
City staff have been negotiating the terms of the Development Agreement with Sound Transit for
nearly two years. Staff recently reached agreement on the final terms of the agreement and are
presenting this update to LUTC ahead of a public hearing and Council action on the agreement in
late spring or early summer. Key elements to be included in the Development Agreement as part
of the FWLE Project include:
• Reconstructing 23`d Ave S from S 317th St to S 3201h St as a concrete roadway
• Reconstructing S 317th St from 28th Ave S to 23`d Ave S as a concrete roadway
• Constructing a new roundabout intersection at 23`d Ave S and S 317th St
• Constructing pedestrian improvements between the proposed Federal Way Transit Center
Station and the existing Park and Ride at the intersection o f'23 d Ave S and S 324th St,
east of the Commons Mall

• Expanding the City's Fiber Optic system capacity by providing a backbone along the full
length of the Gight Rail Transit System alignment from S 272" St all the way to S 320''
St
Next steps for the Development Agreement include City and Sound Transit staff finalizing the
agreement, scheduling a public hearing, and presenting the full terms of the agreement to both
LUTC and Council. Staff anticipate the public hearing and Council presentations to occur in late
spring or early summer.

STAFF REPORT BY: Brian Davis, Community Development Director DEPT: Community Development
Background: On February 19, 2019, City Council voted to refer the topic of developing and implementing a city
rental property inspection program to LUTC for further study. The Community Development Department has
formed a staff working group to undertake this task. Unlike neighboring cities that have used outside consulting
help to develop a rental inspection program over the course of multiple years, Federal Way staff has been asked
to do it in-house within 12 months. The attached timeline and an introduction to the staff working group will,be
presented at the March 4,2019 LUTC meeting.
