(b) No development shall be undertaken by any
person on the shorelines of the state without ob-
taining a substantial development permit from
the department of community development; pro-
vided, that a permit shall not be required for de-
velopment exempted from the definition of sub-
stantial development in RCW 90.58.030 and for
developments exempted by RCW 90.58.140(9) and
(10).

Sec. 18.166. Shoreline variance.
(a) The purpose of a shoreline variance is to
grant relief to specific bulk, dimensional or per-
formance standards set forth in the shoreline
master program, and where there is an extraor-
dinary or unique circumstance relating to the prop-
Supp. No. 3
1079
§ 18-166 FEDERAL WAY CITY CODE
erty such that the strict implementation of the
shoreline master program would impose unneces-
sary hardship on the applicant or thwart the pol-
icies of the Shoreline Management Act.
(b) When a variance is requested, the substan-
tial development permit and the variance shall be
reviewed under the provisions of process II, sec-
tion 22-431 et seq., and the hearing examiner shall
be the final approval authority.
(c) A variance from the standards of the master
program may be granted only when the applicant
can demonstrate that all the following conditions
will apply:
(1) That the strict requirements of the bulk,
dimensional or performance standards set
forth in the master program precludes or
significantly interferes with a reasonable
use of the property not otherwise prohib-
ited by the master program;
(2) That the hardship described above is spe-
cifically related to the property, and is the
result of unique conditions such as irreg-
ular lot shape, size, or natural features, and
the application of the master program, and
not for example, from deed restriction or
the applicant's own actions;
(3) That the design of the project will be com-
patible with other permitted activities in
the area and will not cause adverse effects
to adjacent properties or the shoreline en-
vironment;
(4) That the variance authorized does not con-
stitute a grant of special privilege not en-
joyed by other properties, and will be the
minimum necessary to afford relief;
(5) That the public interest will suffer no sub-
stantial detrimental effect;
(6) That the public rights of navigation and
use of the shorelines will not be adversely
affected by the granting of the variance
when the proposal is for development lo-
cated waterward of the ordinary high-water
mark, or within marshes, bogs or swamps;
and
(7) That consideration has been given to the
cumulative effect of like actions in an area
where similar circumstances exist, and
whether this cumulative effect would be
consistent with shoreline policies or would
have substantial adverse effects on the
shoreline.
(d) Shoreline variances may not be used to
permit a use that is specifically prohibited in an
environment, or to vary uses permitted within an
environmental designation.

Sec. 18-167. Conditional uses.
(a) Conditional use permits are allowed to pro-
vide greater flexibility in varying the application
of the use regulations of the shoreline master pro-
gram in a manner which will be consistent with
the policies of RCW ch. 90.28, particularly where
denial of the application would thwart the poli-
cies of the Shoreline Management Act.
(b) When a conditional use is requested, the sub-
stantial development permit and the conditional
use shall be reviewed under the provisions of pro-
cess III, section 22-476 et seq., and the city council
shall be the final approval authority.
(c) Conditional uses have unique and special
characteristics which require a special degree of
control to make the uses compatible with other
existing or permitted uses in the same environ-
ment, and to assure that the use is in the public
interest. In authorizing a conditional use permit,
special conditions may be attached to the permit
by the city council to prevent undesirable effects
or mitigate environmental impacts of the pro-
posed use.
(d) Conditional use permits shall be authorized
only when they are consistent with the following
criteria:
(1) The proposed use is consistent with the pol-
icies of RCW 90.58.020 and the policies of
the master program;
(2) The use will not interfere with normal
public use of surface waters;
(3) The use will cause no unreasonable adverse
effects on the shoreline or surrounding prop-
Supp. No. 3 1080

erties or uses, and is compatible with other
permitted uses in the area;
(4) The public interest will suffer no substan-
tial detrimental effect;
(5) Consideration has been given to cumula-
tive impact of additional request for like
actions in the area.
(e) Other uses not set forth in the shoreline
master program may be authorized through a con-
ditional use permit if the applicant can demon-
strate that extraordinary circumstances preclude
reasonable use of the property; however, uses spe-
cifically prohibited by the master program may
not be authorized.

Sec. 18-168. Final approval of substantial de-
velopment permits.
(a) The director of community development
shall notify the following agencies or persons
within five days of the final approval of a substan-
tial development permit and any variances or con-
ditional uses granted:
(1) The applicant;
(2) The state department of ecology;
(3) The state attorney general;
(4) Any person who has submitted written com-
ments on the application;
(5) Any person who has requested notification
in writing prior to final approval of the
permit.
(b) No work may commence on a site requiring
a substantial development permit until 30 days
following the date of receipt of the substantial
development permit by the state department of
ecology, and written notification has been received
from the department of ecology that the review
period has been completed.

ment.
(a) Applications for substantial development or
building permits to modify a nonconforming use
or development may be approved only if:
(1) The modifications will make the use or de-
velopment less nonconforming; or
(2) The modifications will not make the use or
development more nonconforming.
(b) A use or development, not conforming to ex-
isting regulations, which is destroyed, deterio-
rated, or damaged more than 75 percent of its fair
market value may be reconstructed only consis-
tent with regulations set forth in this article.

PERMITS FOR DEVELOPMENT ON SHORELINES
OF THE STATE
WAC 173-27-010 Authority. The provisions of this
Pa" implement the requirements of chapter 90.58 RCW, the
Shoreline Management Act. Specifically, RCW 90-58.200
authorizes the adoption of rules as necessary to implement
provisions of the act and RCW 90.58.140(3) requires that
~ department adopt rules for administration and enforce -
at of the permit system established by the act.
(9130/96)
WAC 173-27-020 . Purpose. RCW 90.58.I40(3)
requires local governments to establish a program, consistent
with rules adopted by the department of ecology, for the
administration and enforcement of the permit system for
Shoreline management. The local program should be
integrated with other local government systems for adminis-
tration and enforcement of land use regulations. It is the
intent of these regulations to provide minimum procedural
requirements as necessary to comply with statutory require-
ments while providing latitude for local government to
establish procedural systems based on local needs and
circumstances. It is also the intent of these regulations to
provide for integration of the shore ine permit into a consoli-
dated environmental review and permit process.
This regulation is drafted to also reflect RCW 90.58.050
which provides that the Shoreline Management Act is
intended to establish a cooperative program between local
government and the state. According to this provision, local
government shall have the primary responsibility for initiat-
ing the planning required by the act and administering the
regulatory program of shoreline management consistent with
the policy and provisions of the act, whereas the department
shall act primarily in a supportive and review capacity with
an emphasis on providing assistance to local government and
on insuring compliance with the policies and provisions of
the Shoreline Management Act.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 90.58.140(3) and [90.581.200. 96-20-075

otherwise comply with applicable provisions of the act and
the local master program;
(8) "Fair market value" of a development is the open
market bid price for conducting the work, using the equip-
ment and facilities, and purchase of the goods, services and
materials necessary to accomplish the development. This
would normally equate to the cost of hiring a contractor to

cost of labor, materials, equipment and facility usage,
transportation and contractor overhead and profit. The fair
market value of the development shall include the fair
market value of any donated, contributed or found labor,
equipment or materials;
(9) "Height" is measured from average grade level to
the highest point of a structure: Provided, T hat television
antennas, chimneys, and similar appurtenances shall not be
used in calculating height, except where such appurtenances
hstruct the view of the shoreline of a substantial number of

specific bulk, dimensional or performance standards set forth
in the applicable master program and not a means to vary a
use of a shoreline;
(18) "Vessel" includes ships, boats, barges, or any other
floating craft which are designed and used for navigation and
do not interfere with the normal public use of the water;

WAC 173-27-040 Developments exempt from
substantial development permit requirement. (1) Applica-
tion and iriterpretation of exemptions.
(a) Exemptions shall be construed narrowly. Only those
developments that meet the precise terms of one or more of
the listed exemptions may be granted exemption from the
substantial development permit process.
(b) An exemption from the substantial development
permit process is not an exemption from compliance with the
act or the local master prognam, nor from any other regulato-
ry requirements. To be authorized, all uses and develop-
ments must be consistent with the policies and provisions of
the applicable master program and the Shoreline Manage-
ment Act. A development or use that is listed as a condi-
tional use pursuant to the local master program or is an
unlisted use, must obtain a conditional use permit even
though the development or use does not require a substantial
development permit. When a development or use is pro-
posed that does not. comply with the bulk, dimensional and
performance standards of the master program, such develop-
ment or use can only be authorized by approval of a vari-
ance.
(c) The burden of proof that a development or use is
exempt from the permit process is on the applicant.

or shorelines of the state. For purposes of determining
whether or not a permit is required, the total cost or fair
market value shall be based an the value of development that
is occurring on shorelines of the state as defined in RCW

WAC 173-27-090 Time requirements of permit.
The following time requirements shall apply to all substantial
development permits and to any development authorized
pursuant to a variance or conditional use permit.
(1) Upon a finding of good cause, based on the require-
ments and circumstances of the project proposed and
consistent with the policy and provisions of the master
program and the act, local government may adopt appropri-
ate time limits as a part of action on a substantial develop-
ment permit and local government, with the approval of the
department, may adopt appropriate time limits as a part of
action on a conditional use or variance permit: "Good cause
based on the requirements and circumstances of the project,"
shall mean that the time limits established are reasonably
related to the time actually necessary to perform the develop-
ment on the ground and complete the project that is being
permitted, and/or are necessary for the protection of shore-
line resources.
(2) Where neither local government nor the department
include specific provisions establishing time limits on a
permit as a part of action on the permit, the following time
limits shall apply;
(a) Construction shall be commenced or, where no
construction is involved, the use or activity shall be com-
menced within two years of the effective date of a shoreline
permit. Provided, that local government may authorize a
single extension for a period not to exceed one year based
on reasonable factors, if a request for extension has been
hied before the expiration date and notice of the proposed
extension is given to parties of record and the department.
(b) Authorization to conduct development activities shall
terminate five years after the effective date of a shoreline
permit. Provided, that local government may authorize a
single extension for a period not to exceed one year based
on reasonable factors, if a request for extension has been
filed before the expiration date and notice of the proposed
extension is given to parties of record and the department.
(3) The effective date of a shoreline permit shall be the
date of the last action required on the shoreline permit and
all other government permits and approvals that authorize the
development to proceed, including all administrative and
legal actions on any such permit or approval. It is the
responsibility of the applicant to inform the Iocal government
of the pendency of other permit applications filed with
agencies other than the local government and of any related
administrative and legal actions on any permit or approval.
If no notice of the pendency of other permits or approvals is
given to the local government prior to the date established
by the shoreline permit or the provisions of this section, the
expiration of a permit shall be based on the shoreline permit.
(4) When permit approval is based on conditions, such
conditions shall be satisfied prior to occupancy or use of a
tincture or prior to commencement of a nonstructural
activity: Provided That an alternative compliance limit may
be specified in the permit.

(6) Local government shall notify the department in
writing of any change to the effective date of a permit, as
authorized by this section, with an explanation of the basis
for approval of the change. Any change to the time limits
of a permit other than those authorized by this section shall
require a new permit application.

that relates to its conformance to the terms and conditions of
the permit, the master program and/or the policies and
Provisions of chapter 90.58 RCW, Changes which are not
substantive in effect do not require approval of a revision.
When an applicant seeks to revise a permit, local
government shall request from the applicant detailed plans
and text describing the proposed changes.
(1) if local government determines that the proposed
changes are within the scope and intent of the original
permit, and are consistent with the applicable master
program and the act, local government may approve a
revision.
(2) "Within the scope and intent of the original permit"
means all of the following:
(a) No additional over water construction is involved
except that pier, dock, or float construction may be increased
by five hundred square feet or ten percent from the provi-
sions of the original permit. whichever is less;
(b) Ground area coverage and height may be increased
a maximum of ten percent from the provisions of the
original permit;
(c) The revised permit does not authorize development
to exceed height, lot coverage, setback, or any other require-
ments of the applicable master program except as authorized
under a variance granted as the original permit or a part
thereof;
(d) Additional or revised landscaping is consistent with
any conditions attached to the original permit and with the
applicable master program;
(e) The use authorized pursuant to the original permit is
not changed; and
(f) No adverse environmental impact will be caused by
the project revision.
(3) Revisions to permits may be authorized after original
permit authorization has expired under WAC 173-27-080(2).
The purpose of such revisions shall be limited to authoriza-
d0n of changes which are consistent with this section and
which would not require a permit for the development or
change proposed under the terms of chapter 90.58 RCW, this
regulation and the local master program. If the proposed
change constitutes substantial development then a new
[Ch. 173-27 WAC-p. 7]

permit is required. Provided, this subsection shall not be
used to extend the time requirements or to authorize substan-
tial development beyond the time limits of the original
permit.
(4) If the sum of the revision and any previously
approved revisions under former WAC 173-14-064 or this
section violate the provisions in subsection (2) of this
section, local government shall require that the applicant
apply for a new permit.
(5) The revision approval, including the revised site
plans and text consistent with the provisions of WAC 173-
27-180 as necessary to clearly indicate the authorized
changes, and the final ruling on consistency with this section
shall be filed with the department. In addition, local
government shall notify parties of record of their action.
(6) If the revision to the original permit involves a
conditional use or variance, local government shall submit
the revision to the department for the department's approval,
approval with conditions, or denial, and shall indicate that
the revision is being submitted under the requirements of this
subsection. The department shall render and transmit to
local government and the applicant its final decision within
fifteen days of the date of the department's receipt of the
submittal from local government. Local government shall
notify parties of record of the department's final decision.
(7) The revised permit is effective immediately upon
final decision by local government or, when appropriate
under subsection (6) of this section, upon final action by the
department.
(8) Appeals shall be in accordance with RCW 90.58.180
-ind shall be filed within twenty-one days from the date of
xeipt of the local government's action by the department
or, when appropriate under subsection (6) of this section, the
date the department's final decision is transmitted to local
government and the applicant. Appeals shall be based only
upon contentions of noncompliance with the provisions of
subsection (2) of this section. Construction undertaken
pursuant to that portion of a revised permit not authorized
under the original permit is at the applicant's own risk until
the expiration of the appeals deadline. If an appeal is
successful in proving that a revision is not within the scope
and intent of the original permit, the decision shall have no

WAC 173-27-150 Review criteria for substantial
development permits. (1.) A substantial development permit
shall be granted only when the development proposed is
consistent with:
(a) The policies and procedures of the act;
(b) The provisions of this regulation; and
(c) The applicable master program adopted or approved
for the area. Provided, that where no master program has
been approved for an area, the development shall be re-
viewed for consistency with the provisions of chapter 173-26
WAC, and to the extent feasible, any draft or approved
master program which can be reasonably ascertained as
representing the policy of the local government.
(2) Local government may attach conditions to the
approval of permits as necessary to assure consistency of the
project with the act and the local master program.

WAC 173-27-160 Review criteria for conditional
use permits. The purpose of a conditional use permit is to
provide a system within the master program which allows
flexibility in the application of use regulations in a manner
consistent with the policies of RCW 90.58.020. In authoriz-
ing a conditional use, special conditions may be attached to
the permit by local government or the department to prevent
undesirable effects of the proposed use and/or to assure
consistency of the project with the act and the local master
program.
(1) Uses which are classified or set forth in the applica-
ble master program as conditional uses may be authorized
provided that the applicant demonstrates all of the following:
(a) That the proposed use is consistent with the policies
of RCW 90.58.020 and the master program;
(b) That the proposed use will not interfere with the
normal public use of public shorelines;
(c) That the proposed use of the site and design of the
project is compatible with other authorized uses within the
area and with uses planned for the area under the compre-
hensive plan and shoreline master program;
• (d) That the proposed use will cause no significant
adverse effects to the shoreline environment in which it is to
be located; and
(e) That the public interest suffers no substantial
detrimental effect.
(2) In the granting of all conditional use permits,
consideration shall be given to the cumulative impact of
adtiivnal requests for like actions in the area. For example,
C ditional use permits were granted for other develop-
i t5 in the area where similar circumstances exist, the total
of:,t)10 conditional uses shall also remain consistent with the
;policies of RCW 90.58.020 and shall not produce substantial
veise effects to the shoreline environment.
?.0). Other uses which are not classified or set forth in
livable master program may be authorized as condi-
provided the applicant can demonstrate consisten-
uirements of this section and the requirements
uses contained in the master program.

WAC 173-27-170 Review criteria for variance
permits. The purpose of a variance permit is strictly limited
to granting relief from specific bulk, dimensional or perfor-
mance standards set forth in the applicable master program
where there are extraordinary circumstances relating to the
physical character or configuration of property such that the
strict implementation of the master program will impose
unnecessary hardships on the applicant or thwart the policies
set forth in RCW 90.58.020.:
(1) Variance permits should be granted in circumstances
where denial of the permit would result in a thwarting of the
policy enumerated in RCW 90.58.020. In all instances the
applicant must demonstrate that extraordinary circumstances
shall be shown and the public interest shall suffer no
substantial detrimental effect.
(2) Variance permits for development and/or uses that
will be located landward of the ordinary high water mark
(OHWM), as defined in RCW 90.58.030 (2)(b), and/or
landward of any wetland as defined in RCW 90.58.030
(2)(h), may be authorized provided the applicant can
demonstrate all of the following:
(a) That the strict application of the bulk, dimensional
or performance standards set forth in the applicable master
program precludes, or significantly interferes with, reason-
able use of the property;
(b) That the hardship described in (a) of this subsection
is specifically related to the property, and is the result of
unique conditions such as irregular lot shape, size, or natural
features and the application of the master program, and not,
for example, from deed restrictions or the applicant's own
actions;
(c) That the design of the project is compatible with
other authorized uses within the area and with uses planned
for the area under the comprehensive plan and shoreline
master program and will not cause adverse impacts to the
shoreline environment;
(d) That the variance will not constitute a grant of
special privilege not enjoyed by the other properties in the
area;
(e) That the variance requested is the minimum neces-
sary to afford relief; and
(f) That the public interest will suffer no substantial
detrimental effect.
(3) Variance permits for development and/or uses that
will be located waterward of the ordinary high water mark
(OHWM), as defined in RCW 90.58.030 (2)(b), or within
any wetland as defined in RCW 90.58.030 (2)(h), may be
authorized provided the applicant can demonstrate all of the
following:
(a) That the strict application of the bulk, dimensional
or performance standards set forth in the applicable master
program precludes all reasonable use of the property;
(b) That the proposal is consistent with the criteria
established under subsection (2)(b) through (f) of this
section; and
(c) That the public rights of navigation and use of the
shorelines will not be adversely affected.
(4) In the granting of all variance permits, consideration
shall be given to the cumulative impact of additional

requests for like actions in the area. For example if varianc-
es were granted to other developments and/or uses in the
area where similar circumstances exist the total of the
variances shall also remain consistent with the policies of
RCW 90.58.020 and shall not cause substantial adverse
effects to the shoreline environment.
(5) Variances from the use regulations of the master
program are prohibited.

25.12.030 Limits of environment designations.
25.12.040 Establishment of designations.
25.12.050 Location of boundaries.
25.12.010 Purpose. The purpose of these designations is to differentiate
between areas whose geographical, hydrological, topographical or other
features imply differing objectives regarding the use and future development
of the shorelines of the state.
Each environment designation represents a particular emphasis in the type
of uses and the extent of development which should occur within it. The
environmental designation system is designed to encourage uses in each
environment which enhance or are compatible with the character of the
environment while at the same time requiring reasonable standards and
restrictions on development so that the character of the environment is not
adversely impacted. (Ord. 3688 S 301, 1978).
25.12.020 Names of environment designations. In order to accomplish the
purpose of this title, environmental designations have been established to be
known as follows:
A. Natural environment;
B. Conservancy environment;
C. Rural environment;
D. Urban environment.
,(Ord. 3688 S 302, 1978).
25.12.030 Limits of environment designations. Each environment designation
shall consist of:
A. The entire water body from its centerline or point, including all
1021

water below the surface;
B. The associated wetlands, provided, in those cases where a floodplain
-jr other severe biophysical limitation to development does not cover the
entire associated wetland, one environment designation may be placed on the
floodplain portion of the wetland or the portion of the wetland with severe
biophysical limitations and another on the remaining portion of the wetland;
C. In shoreline areas where severe biophysical constraints such as
floodplains, steep slopes, slide hazard areas and/or marshes, bogs or swamps
do not cover the entire associated wetland, proposed development in the
remaining area may be permitted consistent with the character of the
surrounding land use, the physical capabilities of the. associated wetland and
applicable county land use plans and policies. (Ord. 3688 $ 303, 1978).
25.12.040 Establishment of designations.
A. The written descriptions of the boundaries of the shoreline environment
designations as; adopted by ordinance in the possession of the department shall
constitute the official legal descriptions of the boundaries of those
environment designations.
B. The official maps prepared pursuant to WAC 173-22 in the possession of
the department shall constitute the official descriptions of the limits of all
wetlands in Ring County as defined by RCA 90.58.0.30 and Chapter 15.08 of this
title.
C. The department may, from time to time as new or improved information
becomes available, modify the official maps described in subsection B. of this
section consistent with state guidelines to more accurately represent or
clarify or interpret the true limits of the wetlands defined herein. (Ord.
'688 5 304, 1978) .
25.12.050 Location of boundaries. A. Boundaries indicated as following _
streets, highways, roads and bridges shall be deemed to follow the centerline
of such facilities unless otherwise specified.
B. Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines and transmission
lines shall be deemed to follow the centerline of such rights -of. -way or
easements unless otherwise specified.
C. Where different environmental designations have been given to a
tributary and the main stream at the point of confluence, the environmental
designation given to the main stream shall extend for a distance of two
hundred feet up the tributary.
0. in case of uncertainty as to a wetland or envircr.ment boundary, the
director shall determine its exact location pursuant to the criteria of WAC
173-22-055 and RCW 90.58.030 and the provisions of this chapter. (Ord. 3688 5

uses. The urban environment is designed to reflect a policy .of increasing
utilization and efficiency of urban areas, to promote a more intense level of
use through redevelopment of areas now under-utilized and toencourage

25.20.010 Purpose. The purpose of designating the rural environment is
to restrict intensive development, function as a buffer between urban areas,
and maintain open spaces and opportunities for recreational uses, within the
ecological carrying capacity of the land and.water resource. New developments
in a rural environment should reflect the character of the surrounding area by
limiting intensity, providing permanent open space and by maintaining adequate
building setbacks from water to prevent shoreline resources from being
destroyed for other rural types of uses. (Ord. 3688 S 501, 1978).

C. Shorelines of the state used or designated for light manufacturing or
neighborhood business type uses;
D. Shorelines of the state developed for residential purposes where
surrounding land use is residential in character without all urban services;
E. Shorelines of the state to be designated rural shall not have severe
biophysical limitations to development such as floodplains, steep slopes,
slide hazard areas and/or marshes, swamps or bogs. (Ord. 3688 S 502, 1978).
25.20.030 General requirements. A. Nonwater related and residential
development shall not be permitted waterward of the ordinary high water mark.
B. Except in those cases when the height requirements of the underlying
zone are more restrictive, no structure shall exceed a height of thirty-five
feet above average grade level. This requirement may be modified if the view
of a substantial number of residences will not be obstructed, if permitted by
the applicable provisions of the underlying zoning, and if the proposed
1033
25.20.030 — 25.20.060 SHORELT* . t-IANAGEMENT

natural environment as required open space.
E. Parking facilities except parking facilities associated with detached
single-family and agricultural development shall retain existing vegetation or
be planted in conformance with the landscape standards enumerated in the
general requirements (Section 25.16.030) of the urban environment.
F. Collection facilities to control and separate contaminants shall be
required where stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces would materially
degrade or add to the pollution of recipient waters or adjacent properties.
G. The regulations of this chapter have been categorized in a number of
sections; regardless of the categorization of the various regulations, all

21-67:
(1) Core requirement #1. Discharge at the nat-
ural location. The discharge from a project
site must occur at the natural location
and/or produce no significant adverse im-
pact, as described in the Surface Water De-
sign Manual.
(2) Core requirement #2. Off -site analysis. All
projects must identify the upstream tribu-
tary drainage area and perform a down-
stream analysis. Levels of analysis required
depend on the problems identified or pre-
dicted. At a minimum, a level one analysis
1261

as described in the Surface Water Design
Manual must be submitted with the initial
permit application.
(3) Core requirement #3. Runoff control. All
projects shall provide runoff controls to con-
trol the quantity and quality of runoff from
the project by limiting the peak rates of
runoff from design storm events to the pre -
developed peak rates based on the project
site's existing runoff conditions. The de-
sign volume, when detention facilities are
required by the Surface Water Design
Manual to meet the standard runoff control
performance curve for the two- and ten-
year, 24-hour duration design storm events,
shall be increased by a 30 percent factor for
safety. This factor of safety shall be re-
viewed as new research is completed to eval-
uate its effectiveness.
Project runoff resulting from more than 5,000
square feet of impervious surface, and subject
to vehicular use or storage of chemicals, shall
be treated prior to discharge from the project
site by biofiltration measures as specified in the
Surface Water Design Manual.
(4) Core requirement #4. Conveyance system. All
conveyance systems for projects must be an-
alyzed, designed and constructed for ex-
isting tributary off -site flows and devel-
oped on -site flows from the project.

DIVISION 5. RETENTION/DETENTION
FACILITIES
See. 21.111. Bonds required.
The public works director is authorized to re-
quire all persons constructing retention/detention
facilities and other drainage facilities to post
bonds. Where such persons have previously posted,
or are required to post, other such bonds either on
the facility itself or on other construction related
to the facility, such person may, with the permis-
sion of the public works -director and to the extent
allowable by law, combine all such bonds into a
single bond, provided that at no time shall the
amount thus bonded be less than the total amount
which would have been required in the form of
separate bonds; and such a bond shall on its face
clearly delineate those separate bonds which it is
intended to replace.
(Ord. No. 90-31, § 9, 2-13-90)
Sec. 21-112. Drainage facilities restoration
• and site stabilization bond.
Prior to commencing construction, the person
required to construct the drainage facility pur-
suant to sections 21-89 through 21-91 shall post a
drainage facilities restoration and site stabiliza-
tion bond in the amount sufficient to cover the
cost of corrective work on or off the site which is
necessary to provide adequate drainage, stabilize
and restore disturbed areas, and remove sources
of hazard associated with work which has been
performed and is not completed. After determina-
tion by the public works director that all facilities
are constructed in compliance with approved plans,
the drainage facilities restoration and site stabi-
lization bond shall be released. The city may col-
lect against the drainage facilities restoration and
site stabilization bond when work is not com-
pleted in reasonable fashion and is found to be in
violation of the conditions associated with the
permit and/or approval listed in sections 21-86 and
21-87. It is the public works director's discretion
to determine whether the site is in violation of the
requirements of this article, and whether the bond
shall be collected to remedy the violation. Prior to
final approval and release of the drainage facili-
ties restoration and site stabilization bond, the
public works director shall conduct a comprehen-
sive inspection for the purpose of observing that
the retention/detention facilities and other

detention facilities that the city may assume main-
tenance of pursuant to section 21-116, the defect
and maintenance bond shall be posted for a period
of two years or until the city assumes mainte-
nance, whichever is longer. The public works di-
rector shall not release the defect and mainte-
nance bond until all inspection fees are paid.
(Ord. No. 90-31, § 9(B), 2-13-90)
Sec. 21.114. Failure to complete proposed
work.
In the event of failure to comply with all the
conditions and terms of the permit and/or ap-
proval covered by this article, the public works
director shall notify the permittee and surety in
writing, and failing to obtain response within
seven days from the receipt of notification may
order the work required to be satisfactorily com-
pleted or perform all necessary corrective work to
stabilize and restore disturbed areas and elimi-
nate hazards caused by not completing the work.
The surety- executing such bond shall continue to
be firmly bound up to the limits of the bond, under
a continuing obligation for the payment of all nec-
essary costs and expenses that may be incurred or
expended by the city in causing any and all such
required work to be done. In no event shall the
liability of the surety exceed the amount stated in
the bond regardless of the number of years the
bond remains in force.

tain a liability policy in the amount of $500,000.00
per individual, $500,000.00 per occurrence and
$100,000.00 property damage, which shall name
the city as an additional insured, and which shall
protect the city from any liability up to those
amounts for any accident, negligence, failure of
the facility, or any other liability whatsoever, re-
lating to the construction or maintenance of the
facility. Proof of such liability policy shall be pro-
vided to the public works director prior to comm
mencing construction of any drainage facility, pro-
vided that in the case of facilities assumed by the
city for maintenance pursuant to section 21-116,
§ 21.117
such liability policy shall be terminated when the
city maintenance responsibility commences.

Sec. 21-116. Maintenance of subdivision re-
tention1detention facilities.
(a) Maintenance of all subdivision retention/
detention facilities shall remain the responsibility
of the person required to construct the retention/
detention facilities until all the conditions of this
section has been met.
(b) A retention/detention facility located within
and servicing only an individual lot shall not be
accepted by the city for maintenance and will re-
main the responsibility of persons holding title to
the property within which the facility is located.
(c) Only after all of the following conditions have
been met shall the city assume maintenance of
the subdivision retention/detention facility:
1265
(1) All of the requirements of sections 21-111
through 21-115 have been fully met.

ered at this rehearing or city council

DIVISION 7. REGULATED WETLANDS
See. 22-1356. Determination of wetland and
regulated wetland.
(a) Generally. This section contains procedures
and criteria for determining whether an area is
defined as a regulated wetland under this chapter.
(b) Evaluation. If the city determines that a wet-
land may exist on or within 100 feet the subject
property, the director of community development
shall require the applicant to submit a wetland
report prepared by a qualified professional ap-
proved by the city, that includes the following in-
formation. The director of community develop-
ment shall use this information to determine if
the area is a regulated wetland and, if so, the
precise boundaries of that regulated wetland.
(1) An evaluation of the area in question based
on the definitions in this chapter of "regu-
lated wetland."
(2) An overview of the methodology used to con-
duct the study.
(3) A description of the wetland, including a
map i.dentif dng the edge of the wetland and
plant communities and detailed descrip.
tion of the method used to identify the wet.
land edge.
(4) The wetland classification (U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service "Classification of Wetlands
and Deep Water Habitats in the U.S.").
(5) A list of observed plant and wildlife spe-
cies, using both scientific and common
names; and a description of their relative
abundance.
(6) A list of potential plant or animal species
based on signs or other observation.
§ 22-1356
FEDERAL WAY CITY CODE
(7) An evaluation and assessment of the ex-
isting or potential functions and values of
the wetland based on the following factors:
surface water control; wildlife habitat; pol-
lution and erosion control; groundwater ex-
change; open space and aesthetic contrast;

Sec. 22-1358. Structures, improvements and
land surface modifications
within regulated wetlands.
(a) Generally. No land surface modification may
.ce place and no structure or improvement may
be located in a regulated wetland except as pro-
vided in this section.
(b) Public park. The city may allow pedestrian
access through a regulated wetland in conjunc-
tion with a public park. The access, if approved,
must be designed to the maximum extent feasible
to protect the wetland from any adverse effects or
impacts of the access and to limit the access -to the
defined access area.
(c) Rehabilitation. The director of community
development may permit or require the applicant
to rehabilitate and maintain a regulated wetland
by removing detrimental material such as debris
and inappropriate vegetation and by requiring
that native vegetation be planted. These actions
may be required at any time that a condition det-
rimental to water quality or habitat exists:
(d) Modification. Other than as specified in sub-
sections (b) and (c) of this section, the city council
may approve any request to locate an improve-
ment or engage in land surfatce modification within
a regulated wetland using process III. The specific
location and extent of the intrusion into the reg-
ulated wetland must constitute the minimum nec-
essary encroachment. Approval of a request for
improvements or land surface modification within
a regulated wetland through process III shall be
based on the following criteria:
(1) It will not adversely affect water quality.
(2) ,It will not destroy nor damage a significant
habitat area.
Supp. No. 1 1610
(3) It will not adversely affect drainage or
stormwater retention capabilities.
(4) It will not lead to unstable earth conditions
nor create erosion hazards.
(5) It will not be materially detrimental to any
other property in the area of the subject
property nor to the city as a whole, in-
cluding the loss of significant open space or
scenic vista.
(6) It will result in no net loss of wetland area,
function or value.
(7) The project is in the best interest of the
public health, safety or welfare.
(8) The applicant'has demonstrated sufficient
scientific expertise and supervisory capa-
bility to carry out the project.
(9) The applicant is committed to monitoring
the project and to make corrections if the
project fails to meet projected goals.
(e) Required information. As part of any re-
quest under this section, the applicant shall submit
a report, prepared by a qualified professional ap-
proved by the city, that includes the following in-
formation:
(1) Mitigation plan. A mitigation plan shall in-
clude the following elements:
a.
Environmental goals and objectives.
b.
Performance standards.
c.
Detailed construction plans.
d.
Timing.
e.
Monitoring program for a minimum of
five years.
f.
Contingency plan.
g.
Performance bonding in an amount of
120 percent of the costs of imple-
menting each of the above elements.
(2) Mitigation. Mitigation of wetland impacts
shall be restricted to on -site restoration, cre-
ZONING
ation or enhancement of in -kind wetland
type which results in no net loss of wetland
area, function or value. Where feasible, mit-
igation measures shall be designed to im-
prove the functions and values. of the im-
pacted wetland.
(3) Minimum acreage replacement ratio. The
following are minimum restoration, cre-
ation or enhancement ratios for various im-
pacted wetland areas. The first number of
the ratio specifies the acreage of wetland
requiring replacement and the second spec-
ifies the acreage of wetlands impacted.
a. For areas with documented habitat for
endangered or threatened plant, fish,
or animal species; natural heritage wet-
land sites; regionally rare wetland com-
munities with irreplaceable ecological
functions; or wetlands of exceptional
local significance the replacement ratio
shall be a minimum of 6:1.
b. For forested wetlands with at least 20
percent of the surface area covered by
woody vegetation greater than 20 feet
in height the replacement ratio shall
be a minimum of 3:1.
c. For scrub -shrub wetlands with at least
30 percent of its surface covered by
woody vegetation less than 20 feet in
height as the uppermost strata the re-
placement ratio shall be 2:1.
d. For emergent wetlands with at least
30 percent of the surface area covered
by erect, rooted, herbaceous vegetation
as the uppermost vegetative strata the
replacement ratio shall be 1.5:1.
e. The replacement ratio for all other wet-
lands shall be 1.25:1.
The above replacement ratios may be in-
creased or decreased based on the following
criteria:
a. Probable success of the proposed miti-
gation.
b. Projected losses in function or value.
c. Findings of special studies coordinated
with agencies with expertise which
demonstrate that no net loss of wet-
land function or value is attained under
an alternative ratio.
§ 22-1359
d. In no case shall the minimum acreage
replacement ratio be less than 1.25:1.
(4) Timing. All required wetland mitigation
improvements, except monitoring, shall be
completed and accepted by the director of
community development prior to beginning
activities that will disturb regulated wet-
lands, and shall be timed to reduce impacts
to existing plants and animals.
(5) Inspections. The applicant shall pay for ser-
vices of a qualified professional selected and
retained by the city to review the wetland
mitigation report and other relevant infor-
mation, conduct periodic inspections, issue
a written report to the director of commu-
nity development stating that the project
complies with requirements of the mitiga-
tion plan, and to conduct and report to the
director on the status of the monitoring pro-

Sec. 22.1474. Required public improvements.
(a) Generally. The development standards por-
tion of sections 22-1524 and 22-1525 establish the
improvements that must be installed, based on
the classification of the various rights -of -way
within the city. The applicant shall, consistent
with the provisions of this article, install all im-
provements established in sections 22-1524 and
22-1525 along the entire frontage and width of
each right-of-way, other than alleys, that abuts
the subject property.
(b) Additional dimensions and improvements.
The applicant may increase the dimensions of any
required improvement or install additional im-
provements within the right-of-way with the
written consent of the public works director.
(c) Authority to require dedication. If a right-
of-way abutting the subject property has inade-
quate width based on the requirements in sec-
tions 22-1524 and 22-1525, the applicant shall
dedicate a. portion of the subject property parallel
to the right-of-way and equal in width to the dif-
ference between the present right-of-way width
and the width required by sections 22-1524 and
22-1525 for that right-of-way. The public works
director may waive additional dedication or may
permit dedication of a lessor amount of the sub-
ject property for additional right-of-way width if:
(1) It is likely to anticipate that, within the
near future, the private property across the
right-of-way will be required to dedicate
property for public right-of-way; or
(2) The reduction in the required right-of-way
width will nonetheless provide adequate
room for all improvements, infrastructure
and functions within the right-of-way.
All dedications under this subsection shall be by
conveyance through a statutory warranty deed.
§ 22-1474
(d) Partial right-of-way improvements. Where a
right-of-way abutting the subject property does not,
even after dedications required under subsection
(c) of this section, contain adequate width to in-
stall all of the improvements required within that
right-of-way under this article, the applicant shall
install improvements within the right-of-way
which will provide a safe and efficient right-of-way
and which will facilitate completion of all right-
of-way improvements required in this article at a
later date. The specific extent and nature of im-
provements, where full right-of-way width is not
available, will be determined by the public works
director on a case by case basis.
(e) Easements. The public works director may
require the applicant to grant such easements
over, under and across the subject property as are
reasonably necessary or appropriate under the cir-
cumstances, including, but not limited to ease-
ments for the following:
(1) Pedestrian access and sidewalks.
(2) Street lighting.
(3) Traffic control devices.

Sec. 22-1565. Landscaping types.
(a) Type I —Solid Screen.
(1) Purpose. Type I landscaping is intended to
provide a solid sight barrier to totally sep-
arate incompatible land uses. This land-
scaping is typically found between residen-
tial and incompatible nonresidential land
use zones (i.e. manufacturing park and city
center or residential, etc.), and around out-
door storage yards, service yards, loading
areas, mechanical or electrical equipment,
utility installations, trash receptacles, etc.
(2) Description. Type I landscaping shall con-
sist of evergreen trees, tan shrubs and
groundcover, which will provide a 100 per-
cent sight -obscuring screen within three
years from the time of planting; OR a com-
bination of approximately 75 percent ever-
green and 25 percent deciduous trees, with
an allowable five percent variance, with
large shrubs, and groundcover backed by a
100 percent sight -obscuring fence. Tree,
shrub, and groundcover spacing shall be ap-
propriate for the species type, and consis-
tent with the intent of this section.

summer shading as a result of its loca-
tion relative to proposed buildings; or
c. The tree belongs to a unique or un-
usual species of native or non-native
tree not usually found locally.
(4) Where it is not feasible to retain required
significant trees due to site constraints in-
cluding, but not limited to, topography, in-
gress/egress requirements, existing and pro-
posed utility locations, trails, storm
drainage improvements, a site specific tree
plan, drawn to scale, shall be prepared. The
tree plan shall show the precise location of
all significant trees on the site, in relation
to the proposed buildings, streets, parking
areas, required landscaped areas, surface
water facilities, and utilities. The director
of community development shall review the
plan in relation to the proposed develop-
ment to ensure tree removal is the min-
imum amount necessary to comply with the
proposed development and meet the pur-
poses of this chapter.
(5) When required significant trees cannot be
retained (see section 22-1568(0 below), sig-
nificant trees that are removed shall be re-
placed with:
a. Transplanted or retained on -site trees
four -inch caliper or larger, which meet
the definition of significant tree in all
manner except size, and approved by
the community development director,
based upon the director's assessment
of the location of the tree in relation to
the proposed site development; or
b. New evergreen trees that are a min-
imum ten feet in height, or deciduous
trees that are a minimum three-inch
caliper.
The number of replacement trees, combined
with the number of retained significant
trees, shall equal 25 percent'of the amount
of on -site significant trees which existed
prior to development.
(6) The following management practices shall
be observed on sites containing significant

for compliance with the approved landscape
plan.
(4) A CO or final inspection may be issued prior
to completion of required landscaping pro-
vided the following criteria are met:
a. An applicant or property owner files a
written request with the department
of community development prior to five
days of a CO inspection;
b. The request contains an explanation as
to why factors beyond the applicant's
control, or which would create a signif-
icant hardship, prevent the installa-
tion of the required landscaping prior
to issuance of the CO;
c. The property owner has demonstrated
a good faith effort to complete all re-
quired landscaping.
(5) The time period extension for completion of
the landscaping shall not exceed 90 days
after issuance of a certificate of occupancy
to install required landscaping.
(6) Failure to complete landscape installation
-by an established 90-day extension date

(Ord. No. 93-170, § 4, 4-20-93)
Sec. 22.1570. Modification options.
(a) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to
provide an opportunity for development of excep-
tional or unique landscape designs which do not
meet the express terms of sections 22-1564 through
22-1567, and/or flexibility of landscape designs.
The director of community development shall have
the authority, consistent with the criteria stated
herein, to modify specific requirements or impose
additional requirements in unique or special cir-
cumstances to assure the fulfillment of the stated
purpose of this chapter and to allow for flexibility
and creative design. Special circumstances or
unique conditions shall be reviewed with the di-
rector of community development concurrent to
submittal the review of a landscape plan. Exam-
ples of special conditions might include:
,1) Preservation of unique wildlife habitat;
(2) Preservation of natural or native areas;
(3) Compliance with special easements;
(4) Renovation of existing landscaping;
(5) Unique site uses:
The alternative landscape modifications described
in sections (c) through (f) shall be allowed only if
the proposed modification meets the threshold cri-
teria of subsection (b) below, in addition to the
special criteria of sections (c) through (f).
(b) Modifications to the landscape standards
may be granted by the director of community de-
velopment if-
(1) The proposed modification represents a su-
perior result than that which could be
achieved by strictly following the require-
ments of this chapter; and
(2) The proposed modification complies with
the stated purpose of this chapter and any
applicable subsections of this chapter; and
(3) If the proposed modification will not vio-
late any City of Federal Way Municipal
Codes or ordinances. In particular, a mod-
ification shall not be a substitute for any
zoning variance; and
(4) Where applicable, the proposed modifica-
tion would result in an increased retention
of significant trees and/or naturally occur-
ring vegetation on the site.
(5) The proposed modification also satisfies the
criteria listed in section (b), or section (c), or
section (d), or section (e), or section (fl.
(c) The width of the perimeter landscaping may
be reduced up to 25 percent when:
(1) A development retains an additional ten
percent of significant trees or ten signifi-
cant trees per acre on -site, whichever is
greater.
(2) The proposed landscaped area incorporates
a combination of plant materials, berms a
minimum of three feet in height, and ar-
chitectural elements of appropriate height
and scale sufficient to act as an efficient
substitute for the three-foot berm.

(d) The landscaping requirement may be mod-
ified when necessary, because of special circum-
stances relating to the size, shape, topography,
vegetation, location or surroundings of the sub-
ject property, to provide it with use rights and
privileges permitted to other properties in the vi-
cinity and zone in which it is located, or if strict
application would result in scenic view obstruc-

district than the subject property, the landscaping
required along that common interior property line
may be reduced by 25 percent in area. In addition,
the remaining 75 percent of the required land-
scaping may be relocated upon approval of the
community development director, consistent with
the standards of this chapter.

water quality structures may be incorporated into
required landscape areas provided the landscaping
standards of this chapter are met and the integ-
rity of the surface water function is not compro-
mised. The community development director shall
approve any modification of this nature.
(h) Modification submittal requirements. A re-
quest for modification shall:
(1) Be submitted in the same form and ac-
cording to the same terms as the required

(d) Criteria. The city may approve a proposed
comprehensive design plan if.
(1) The proposal manifests exceptional effort
toward creating visual harmony between
the signs, buildings and other components
of the subject property through the use of a
consistent design theme.

(2) The proposed deviations are the minimum
necessary to create readable signs from the
street providing direct vehicle access to the
subject property based on traffic speeds and
patterns in the area.
(3) The signs are in character and orientation
with planned and existing uses in the area
of the subject property.

or property as the use, building, or event with
which the sign is associated.
(b) All signs shall be located outside those areas
required in division 10 of article XIII of this
chapter to be kept clear of sight obstructions.
(c) The provisions of this section do not apply as
follows:

tification in limited and unusual
circumstances.
(a) Policy statement. It is the specific policy of
the city that all signs erected, moved or altered
after February 28, 1990, comply with the provi-
sions of this article. However, as many of the com-
mercial areas of the city have developed with signs
which are of a type and size prohibited by this
article, there may be a need, in. limited and un-
usual circumstances, for signs to be erected, moved
or altered that do not comply with the require-
ments of this article in order to provide the busi-
ness or use with which the sign is associated with
reasonable identification. It is further the ex-
pressed policy of the city that the provisions of
this section only be used where compliance with
this article would do irreparable and unreason ---
able harm to a business or use.
(b) Permissible signs. Under this section, the
city may allow any type, size or number of sign or
signs.
(c) Required review process. The city will re-
view and decide upon requests under this section
using process III.
(d) Criteria. The city may approve a request
under this section only if it finds that:
(1) The proliferation of preexisting signs in the
area of the subject property which do not
conform to this article is such that signs
consistent with this article would not be
reasonably visible to potential patrons or
users, considering such factors as the topog-
raphy of the area and the posted speed
limits of and volumes on the street or streets
providing direct vehicle access to the sub-
ject property.
(2) A sign package consistent with the pr6vi-
sions of this article would not provide the
use or business with effective signs.
1631
§ 22-1606
FEDERAL WAY CITY CODE
(3) The type, number and size of signs re-
quested is the minimum necessary to pro-
vide the use or business with effective signs.
(e) Conditions and restrictions. As part of any
approval of a request under this section, the city
may impose any limitations or restrictions it con-
siders appropriate under the circumstances. This
may include, but is not limited to, requiring that
the owner of the subject property sign a covenant
or other written document to be filed with the
county to run with the property by which, at a
time certain or upon specified events, the signs on
the. subject property would be brought into com-
pliance with all applicable city regulations then
in effect. The city may also require a performance
bond under section 22-146 et seq. to insure com-
pliance with any such condition or restriction.

vision: 32 square feet per sign face.
(2) Sign category B. Thirty-two square feet per
sign face.
(3) Sign categories C, D and E. As more specif-
ically established in subsections a., b. and
c. below, the subject property may contain
the sign area allowed in those three sub-
sections:
a. The subject property may contain the
sign area shown in the chart in section
22-1610. If the subject property con-
tains or may contain more than one
use or tenant, the applicant must
submit to the city a letter allocating
sign area for the subject property to
the various uses, tenants, or leasable
areas and to the sign or signs, if any,
which identify the subject property. The
applicant must agree in this letter to
include the specified sign allocation in
all leases, rental agreements, condo-
1632

minium declarations and similar doc-
uments.
b. Each use or business within a mul-
tiuse complex is allowed the following
sign area for signs to identify the spe-
cific location or entrance of or to that
use or business:
1. For sign categories C and D, 30
square feet per business or use.
2. For sign category E, one square
foot for each two linear feet of the
facade of the building or portion
thereof, occupied by the use or busi-
ness, on which the sign is located
or to which it is oriented; provided
that each business or use is allowed
at least 30 square feet of sign area
and may not have more than 80
square feet of sign area under this
subsection.
c. Each multiuse complex containing
seven or more uses or businesses is al-
lowed 64 square feet per street pro-
viding direct vehicular access to be used
only for a center identification sign or
signs. Signs allowed under this subsec-
tion may not have internally lighted
sign fields; must be constructed of ma-
terials, colors, shapes and other archi-
tectural features which are the same
§ 22-1610
as or consistent with the buildings on
the subject property; and must be ori-
ented to the street from which the right
to the sign arises.
(Ord. No. 90-43, § 2(95.40), 2-27-90)
Sec. 22-1610. Sign area chart.
The following chart establishes the sign area
allowed under section 22-1609(3)(a). The sign area
is primarily dependent on the linear frontage of
the subject property and the sign category of the
use. To use this chart, first find the applicable
sign category along the top of the chart, then find
the linear frontage of the subject property along
the left margin of the chart. Where the sign cat-
egory and the linear frontage meet the maximum
sign area for the subject property will be found
under section 22.1609(3)(a). Next, review the. sign
area multipliers listed on the right side of the
chart to determine if there are any increases in
the maximum allowable sign area.
1. Find the sign category that applies to your
use.
2. Find the linear frontage of the subject prop-
erty.
3. Where sign category and linear frontage
meet, the maximum sign size for the sub-
ject property will be found.
4. Use the multiplier to the right of the chart to determine if maximum allowable sign area is
increased by the factors listed.

Introduction and Purpose
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
INTERIM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - 1990
INTRODUCTION
The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan has been prepared to meet the requirements of RCW
35A.63.061, Optional Municipal Code, which sets forth the content and procedures for adoption
of a Comprehensive Plan to anticipate and guide the orderly growth and development of the City.
The Comprehensive Plan is a statement of the community's desires and goals for the future
development of the City, and provides the framework for a continuing planning process that will
begin with the adoption of this plan. The Comprehensive Plan contains a set of narrative goals,
policies and plan maps which will provide the basis for adoption of implementing regulations and
other City programs.
As presently constructed, the Plan is intended to meet the minimum requirements of RCW
35A.63.061 to allow the City of Federal to incorporate with interim plans and regulations by March,
1990. The Plan revision cycle should be initiated as soon as feasible after establishment of the City,
to carry out objectives defined in the Plan and to allow full citizen participation in the process.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FRAMEWORK POLICIES
The purpose of the Federal Way Comprehensive plan is to:
I. Identify fundamental community concerns and values, and address their relationship to
critical municipal functions.
U. Identify goals and objectives for mandatory planning elements, and outline priorities and a
time schedule for completion of optional elements.
III. Integrate urban design and conservation principles into each plan element and public
decisions related to those elements.
IV. Provide a process for continuous updating and amendment of the Plan and its implementing
plans and regulations.
V. Guide development of implementing regulations, procedures and programs.
VI. Provide a clearly stated guideline for citizens regarding the development of the City in the
future.

POPULATION AND HOUSING
Rapid population growth during the last decade has led to an increasing strain on public services
and facilities in Federal Way. Recent population forecasts by the Puget Sound Council of
Governments indicate that the high rate of growth in King County is expected to continue over the
next ten years based on the strong regional economy, which will maintain pressure on cities to
increase densities to provide for an adequate land supply for housing.
Population within the Federal Way forecast area is expected to reach 100,357 in 1990, and 125,663
by the year 2000. (Puget Sound Council of Governments, Population and Employment Forecasts,
1988). The City of Federal Way is predicted to reach 64,000 by 1990, and 79,000 by year 2000.
If the rate of growth remains between 3% and 4% annually, about 2,000 people would be expected
to enter the community each year.
As available land for residential development diminished and housing prices increased during the
1980's, housing development in the region shifted from primarily single-family to a majority of
multi -family construction. Because this happened in a very short period of time accompanied by
substantial growth in single family construction as well, suburban areas such as Federal Way were
not adequately provided with public services and facilities, particularly for transportation.
The housing character of Federal Way is predominately single-family with multi -family comprising
approximately 50016 of all housing units. However, a large proportion of the existing zoning for
multi -family is RM 900 (48 du/ac) and RM 1800 (24 du/ac). These are high densities for a
suburban community, particularly when developed adjacent to or within lower density single-family
neighborhoods. Without provision of open space, multi -family developments at this density have
a significant impact in bulk, scale and activity. Moderate densities between 8 and 15 dwelling
units per acre are much more compatible with a community of suburban scale.
The RM 900 zone in the County system also allows development of offices, and statistics indicate
that about half of the development in these zones is for offices.
Estimates of multi -family zoning made by the County staff indicate that about 500 acres were made
available for multi -family development in the 1986 Plan and zoning update, and approximately
3,672 units were produced from 1986 to 1988. Approximately 300 acres remain for development,
of which 168 are in the pipeline. These permits would result in about 3,000 housing units.
The problems created by population growth have been compounded in outlying areas by the lack
of alternative transportation modes and an underdeveloped road grid, which has created serious
traffic congestion problems. Although these problems have not been caused alone by multiple
family development, they are further aggravated when densities are increased.
4
The existing land use plan indicates a dispersed and random pattern for location of multi -family uses
which also contributes to land use conflicts. Although there appears to be adequate land area
planned for multi -family uses, they are scattered throughout the city, and are not well oriented to
community business or employment areas or to pedestrian systems. To reduce automobile use and
flow of traffic from high density through low density areas, high density multi -family uses should
not be located at the center of low -density areas but should be clustered near major arterials,
community business areas.
In some outlying areas, very high density multi -family uses are located adjacent to low -density single
family uses which creates a conflict in scale and activity, rather than providing a harmonious
transition. Multi -family developments can be designed to be compatible with single-family uses by
controlling density, bulk and scale.
Neighborhood business areas do not necessarily support or set a precedent for high density zones
nearby, although the present land use pattern indicates that this has occurred. Neighborhood
business'zones are preferably buffered by landscaping and building design rather than by other land
uses that may also create impacts in adjacent neighborhoods. Because the Neighborhood Business
zones are intended for convenience shopping only and their area'should be limited, residential uses
should not be allowed within the zones.
Within areas zoned for higher densities, there does not appear to be a clear rationale for the
pattern of densities RM 900, RM 1800, and RM 2400 zones found together. Within a specific area
such as that at the intersection of S. W. 320th Street and 21st Ave. S. W., the densities range from
very low to very high. A consistent and moderate density would be more harmonious with
surrounding single-family areas, and provide better transition.
Although the updated 1986 plan policies were directed toward some of these issues —and these
policies should be carried forward into the new plan —the zoning does not yet reflect the objectives
and should be revised to be consistent with the policies. It is apparent that the policies adopted
in 1986 did affect rezoning practices, however, as the number of acres reclassified diminished to
zero after 1986. (King County Growth Report, June 1989).
Both the existing community plan and citizen comments indicate that the community is concerned
about providing a variety of housing types rather than serving only as a bedroom community.
Concern particularly centers around those who are older or have lower incomes An analysis of
mean sales prices during the last half of 1988 indicates that the Federal Way area is still very
affordable for home ownership with the average home sales price at about $96,500. Apartment
rentals remained moderate as well, with the overall rate at about $407.00 monthly.
Maintaining quality of life is very closely related to providing safe and attractive housing. As
availability of land decreases and housing prices continue to soar in response to demand, it will be
more difficult to maintain detached, single-family neighborhoods. However, this problem requires
that, more than ever, alternative housing be compatible with single-family uses, that adequate
services must be in place, and open space and recreation areas are provided.

ISSUES:
-Thd-following issues -have-been-identified-as-primary-concerns-for the -new -City -of Federal Way -in
the Federal Way Communities Plan, by City Council members and citizens:
1. Preserving the predominately single-family character and appearance of the community by
establishing a range of population densities consistent with neighborhood and city-wide
objectives.
2 Developing a rational system for allocation of multi -family housing that provides greater
compatibility with single-family housing, protects Basting single-family neighborhoods, and
reduces service and transportation impacts.
3. Correcting past zoning practices that produced conflict between residential land uses and
isolated higher density uses without adequate pedestrian facilities, distant from community
services.
4. Producing new housing that is planned and developed to protect natural systems, and meet
community design and landscaping standards.
5. Creating a diverse population by encouraging residential development with a mix of housing
types at affordable costs, particularly for senior citizens and lower income families.
6. Assuring the high quality of new and Basting housing by consistent enforcement of reasonable
housing and building standards that do not unnecessarily increase housing costs.
7. Maintaining safe, economically stable and attractive neighborhoods by providing a high level
of public services including utilities, streets and sidewalks, parks and recreation facilities.
Other issues which should be considered in relation to residential uses include:
1. Encouraging development of housing in the City Center.
2 Location of compatible supporting uses in neighborhoods such as schools, day care facilities and
churches.
3. Development of an organized system of neighborhood participation in city activities.

COMMERCLUANDUSTRIAL
Existing Conditions
As Federal Way has rapidly changed from a low -density suburb to a vital urban activity center, the
need to allocate land for commercial uses has increased. The 1986 Community Plan update
confirmed the commitment to development of a strong and well-defined central business district
as well as providing land use classifications for a variety of economic uses.
Nevertheless, the rapid growth of the community has led to a pattern of commercial zoning that
is not always well integrated with adjacent uses or supportive of a transition to a more intensive
urban center. A number of problem areas are apparent.
The City presently has adequate land zoned to meet commercial development objectives for the
next 10 years; however, the supply of industrial and office park land appears to be limited. Because
the nature of industrial uses in the region is changing rapidly, the industrial zones need to be
upgraded to reflect higher performance standards and a new mix of uses. Additional zoning may
be needed as the supply of vacant industrial land disappears in the region. Industrial zoning is
vulnerable to the intrusion of retail uses and consequent escalation of land prices, and these
changes should be prevented. Industrial areas also require good access to arterial streets to avoid
congestion or mixing industrial and residential traffic.
A set of consistent policies is needed to define the function and intent of neighborhood business
zones. Neighborhood business areas normally occupy sites of 5-10 acres serving a population area
of 5,000 people or more. Because they are primarily intended for convenience shopping, the range
of uses allowed should limited and compatible with adjacent single-family neighborhoods. Without
standard limits on size and uses, these centers can create pressure for expansion of commercial uses
into adjacent neighborhoods.

City Center, but also provides a location for space intensive uses that may require outdoor storage
areas that are unattractive and costly in the City Center. Many businesses thrive on these strips
because of the high automobile accessibility and lower land costs and provide an economic activity
that is important to the community. However, the pre-existence of these uses or their continued
preservation does not necessarily set a precedent for additional zoning of this type.
Because older strip development occurred without adequate street and landscaping improvement
requirements, access to these uses reduces the effectiveness and safety of traffic movements on the
adjacent arterial. Redevelopment of properties should occur under higher standards to reduce
clutter, upgrade visual quality and improve traffic flow.

environment to a more intensive mix of uses and activities. Because it is at a formative stage in
its future redevelopment and evolving identity, a close look needs to be taken at design, pedestrian
access, landscaping and public amenities, as well as traffic circulation. A detailed design overlay
plan or design district zone should be prepared to assure that a coordinated and visionary approach
is implemented.
10
In addition, the city center zone should encourage an increase in concentration of uses and
improved continuity of structures to reduce vehicle movements and increase pedestrian use.
Gateway features can be used to suggest entrances to the central place in the community, and
public facilities should be planned to encourage cultural and social activities in the city center.
Parking requirements should also be studied closely to determine techniques to reduce loss of
acreage to parking and to increase shared use of parking or other alternatives.
The City has not yet developed office uses at higher densities, and these should be encouraged to
increase employment density. Office uses in the City Center support retail uses and services and
can help stimulate a pedestrian environment. Office uses in outlying areas require good vehicle
access and can be effectively combined with retail and multi -family uses. They can also provide
transition from industrial and retail uses, and may be useful in upgrading strip retail areas.
The most critical problem for future economic development in the community will be upgrading
transportation systems, particularly in the City Center, in order to accommodate higher densities
and in industrial areas to maintain efficient access to the regional transportation system.
ISSUES:
1. Providing employment opportunities within the community by attracting new industries and
professional offices.
2 Defining the function of neighborhood business centers and controlling their impacts on
adjacent single-family neighborhoods.
3. Controlling strip development on major arterials while maintaining existing vital businesses.

5. Protecting industrial areas from encroachment by other uses and upgrading the quality of

6. Building a transportation system that adequately serves commercial areas, encourages use of
alternative modes of transportation for work trips, and allows commercial and industrial growth
without creating additional congestion.

14
OPEN SPACE
One of the most important and valued elements in a high quality living and working environment
is open space. As a community such as Federal Way grows and population density increases, the
need to provide open space becomes more critical for protection of natural systems and the visual
character of the community.
Open space will be one of the most important land uses in establishing the appearance and
aesthetic environment of the future city. Open space can contribute to a reduction in
environmental impacts such as noise and air pollution, increase the value of adjacent properties,
and provide a valuable source of passive and active recreation. It is the primary element in creating
a beautiful city.
The potential components of a community open space system are parks and outdoor recreation
areas, steep slopes or other hazardous areas that are unsafe for development, wetlands, storm
drainage systems, native growth protection areas, shorelands, and lands held commonly within
residential or commercial developments. Because many of these open space systems cross political
boundaries or may have regional or statewide significance, it is important that their acquisition and
use be coordinated between local and state jurisdictions.
Because of the location and topography of Federal Way, there are many opportunities to create
open space areas that have multiple purposes while retaining their natural appearance and
functions. Much of the potential open space land is well distributed throughout the community and
can be linked in well-defined corridors.
Open space cannot be obtained by regulation in the sense that a zoning classification is adopted
and no other use of the land can be made. There are several methods for setting aside open space
for public use and enjoyment:
urchase- of € &--title by- a public agency. ►90
2. Voluntary dedication by a private party.
3. Conservation easements or other covenants that do not transfer fee title of the property
4. Requirements within subdivision and development ordinances for maintenance of a certain
percentage of permanent open space as a condition of approval of a project. These
frequently include hazardous or sensitive areas on a site, but may also be applied to sites
without hazards as a community standard.
5. Development of landscaped areas that buffer and separate land uses or parking.

6. Deferred taxation for agriculture and open space.
15
The City's open space plan should identify areas to be protected, the criteria for designation and
the techniques that will be used to achieve the plan objectives. The City will need to determine
whether dedications will be encouraged and accepted, and to outline a program for acquiring or
protecting the most vulnerable open space areas. The Plan should also provide the authority and 1
intent for setting aside open space within private developments.
Designated open space areas that may not be obtained through development review, by voluntary
dedication, or through other public programs should become part of the City's Capital Improvement
Program to assure that some purchases will occur annually. If this does not happen, it will be
difficult to allocate funds for this purpose because of competition with other needs that may have
a higher priority.
ISSUES:
1. Development of a planned and classified system of open spaces.
2. Encouragement of voluntary dedication, and adoption of criteria for acceptance of dedicated
open spaces.
3. Integration of all available techniques to set aside open space into the City's development
ordinances and program planning.
4. Coordination of open space planning and acquisition with other affected jurisdictions.
5. Expansion of the parks and recreation system to give priority to passive or aesthetic elements
in addition to more traditional recreation uses.
6. Establishing priority for purchase of open space in budgeting and capital improvement
programming.
7. DeveIopment of in -lieu payments or other techniques to reduce the impact of new development
and provide a fund for purchase of open space.

LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS
LOCATIONAL CRITERIA
Ile land use classifications in the Comprehensive Plan are intended to recognize the relationships
between broad patterns of land uses and set forth location criteria for each specific class of uses
consistent with the long term objectives of the plan and the capabilities of the physical environment.
These classifications provide the purpose and intent for designation of specific zoning districts.
RURAL RESIDENTIAL
Ibis classification permits uses that are more rural in character and less concentrated than nearby
urban areas. The purpose of the district is to maintain very low density residential uses on large
lots to encourage agricultural activities and continued farming, when practical, as a permitted use.
The rural residential classification is also intended to increase open space to protect sensitive
wetlands and recharge areas. Agricultural activities should be regulated to protect water quality and
prevent disturbance of wildlife habitats.
LOW -DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
The low -density residential classification provides a residential environment with substantial open
space and larger lots, particularly in moderately sensitive natural areas. These areas would have
densities no higher than 2-3 dwelling units per acre to create a visual and physical transition from
semi -rural land uses to suburban residential uses.
Generally; -sewersz weuld- be-requiredz except-wherwoak%--andf-rainage• -permit the use; of septic---- -- - -
systeht-30 - -
SUBURBAN RESiDEIv"ITAL
Suburban residential areas include residential areas ranging in density from 4-8 dwelling units per
acre. They are planned to meet projected community needs for housing based on the underlying
suitability of the land, adequate urban services including utilities, streets and public services, and
location away from steep slopes, wetlands and floodplains. Slopes should generally be no greater
than 15% except where soils conditions permit limited development on slopes up to 25%.
A range of densities within the classification encourages a variety of housing types and choices by
economically using urban land to discourage sprawl. These are areas intended to provide stable and
attractive neighborhood environments close to schools and other community facilities, and may
include limited compatible land uses.
19
URBAN RESIDENTIAL
The Urban Residential classification provides a higher density residential environment from 8-12
dwelling units per acre that is compatible with adjacent single family neighborhoods, but allows
development of attached and multiple units, at low densities.
Criteria for establishment of this classification include projected demand and community need and
the availability of urban services. The classification can be used to provide separation of single-
family uses from commercial, industrial and high -density multi -family uses that may be less
compatible with low -density neighborhoods.
Land suitability for this class of uses requires that slopes be less than 15%, and are free of hazards.
Urban residential uses should be convenient to commercial and employment centers, but should
include only limited supporting uses within the district. They should have good access to collector
and arterial streets. The RM 2400 zone may be used as a transitional density from suburban
residential or commercial uses.
HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
High density residential uses provide maximum population densities in areas of intense urban
activity. The classification is intended to be mixed or associated with commercial and retail uses,
or to provide a transition from commercial or industrial areas to lower density housing. When used
as a transition to industrial land uses, high density multi -family uses should be separated by
topography, natural features, open space and landscaping to reduce potential impacts on the
residents.
t
These uses should be located in close proximity to major thoroughfares and transit systems, and

Slopes should be no greater than 15% and should be free of hazards. Areas designated for these
uses should not contain sensitive natural environments.
20
BUSINESS
The business classification is intended to provide centralized areas for retail, service and professional
office uses that are convenient to residential areas and the transportation network. They are the
focus for community activities and public facilities within neighborhoods and in the community as
a whole.
Neighborhood business centers should serve areas with a population of at least 5,000 people. They
are designed to provide convenience commercial uses and household related services only and
should be limited in area to prevent expansion into adjacent neighborhoods. They should be
recognized focal points historically associated with the surrounding community. Because of their
location near neighborhoods, they should be compatible in design and attractively landscaped. They
should be located on arterial streets or intersections in areas with adequate pedestrian access.
Community business serves a broader population, providing land area for mixes uses, particularly
activities that require access to major arterial streets, and generate higher levels of traffic. These
uses may need additional area for outdoor storage or visibility from arterial streets. Community
businesses are primarily oriented to automobiles, but should have pedestrian access from adjacent
residential areas and streets. They should be designed and landscaped to minimize the impacts of
high automobile usage on adjacent uses, and need to be adequately supported by urban services
such as streets, utilities, police and fire protection, and public transportation.
The City Center is the economic center of the City providing services to a sub -regional population
base. It is intended to be a compact, pedestrian -oriented shopping and employment district that
provides a variety of urban activities and services. As the focal point for cultural, recreation and
social activities, the City Center should be safe, attractive and convenient. Uses in this district
should meet high standards for design and appearance.
Professional office zones are intended to provide areas for intensive professional, institutional and
_ commercial office uses.._ They are encouragedxas_part_ofof.mixeduserpects,and.as_transitiafzq__=______-_.__

OFFICMNDUSTRIAL
Office Parks are intended to allow a range of professional, scientific, and business uses in a campus -
like setting harmonious: with their natural setting. They may incorporate sensitive environmental
areas as open space and amenities provided they meet high standards for maintaining natural
vegetation, providing landscaping and superior architectural quality.
They are intended to provide a quality work environment with recreational activities and limited
supporting retail uses or services.
21
Industrial parks are intended to provide a location for light manufacturing, warehouses, and
processing activities with proximity to resource and material suppliers. Because the availability of
land for these uses is limited, retail uses should be strictly limited. They should be located on sites
free of hazards or sensitive natural areas, and where some separation can be maintained from
residential land uses.
Streets and road within these areas should be adequate to handle large vehicles and minimize
conflicts with traffic from residential and commercial areas.
Industrial parks should have access to the regional transportation system and public transportation
systems to expand market and employment areas. Sites should have more than one arterial access
to improve safety and traffic flow.
OPEN SPACE
The Open Space classification is intended to preserve parcels presently used for parks, recreation
or open spaces, and designate potential properties for these uses.
Lands to be designated for these uses include:
a. Lands presently used as parks or open spaces, or proposed to be used for these purposes.
b. Sensitive areas such as wetlands, natural wildlife habitats, aquifer recharge areas, steep
slopes or other characteristics;
c. Lands providing public access to streams, lakes, and shorelines;
d. Areas with outstanding scenic or recreational value;
e. I:an va ua M ❑r actwive and passive re-creaiion.

CIRCULATION
SUMMARY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
The transportation system in Federal Way and throughout the central Puget Sound region is one
of the most vital infrastructure resources provided by local governments. It is both a service to
the public and a tool for economic growth. As the region's population continues to grow, more
demand will be placed on the transportation system causing increased congestion and concerns
about the overall quality of life in our business and residential communities.
The greater Seattle region was recently selected as one of the most liveable areas in the United
States. We are also ranked as the sixth most congested region in the country. The current
economic vitality of the region is expected to continue throughout the next decade and beyond,
resulting in population and employment gains that exceed the national average. This will add
pressure on local governments to expand and maintain the region's transportation system, a
challenge that will require a great deal of cooperative effort between jurisdictions.
According to the most recent forecasts by the Puget Sound Council of Governments, the population
in the City of Federal Way is expected to reach 64,000 by 1990, and 79,000 by the year 2000. The
population in the Federal Way forecast area is expected to reach 100,357 in 1990, and 125,663 by
the year 2000. This will make Federal Way one of the fastest growing areas in King County. The
population increase is expected to be predominately located west of I-5, with large increases in the
West Campus area of the city. Employment in the area is forecast to increase by nearly 13,000
jobs by the year 2000. The majority of the employment will be in service -oriented businesses.
The large increases in population and employment in the City of Federal Way will result in a
significant increase in traffic volumes and congestion. East -west arterials will probably experience
the largest demands, especially those located between SR-99 and I-5. North -south arterials will also
_ �.. .,<.....,... earperiea�-sagnif a® incsreasea with go --increase in,travel -demand -between• Federal -Way- and, the
High1ifitii`e�' and' North "Tacoma. -
Even today without the expected increases in population, employment and traffic volumes, many
of the roadways in Federal Way are operating at a poor level of service. Most notably, these
include South 312th Street, South 320th Street, South 348th Street, South 356th Street, 16th
Avenue South, and SR-99. By the year 2000, King County estimates continued capacity problems
on these roadways in addition to SW 312th Street/Dash Point Road, SW 330th Street, and SW
336th Street. Improvements to these facilities will probably be required under Federal Way's
jurisdiction. Some of the capacity problems may be solved by improving freeway access and
providing collector -distributor roadways adjacent to the west side of I-5 through cooperative efforts
with the Washington State Department of Transportation.
With the expected increases in traffic volumes, the role of alternative modes of transportation
becomes more important in addressing the congestion issue. Currently, METRO provides transit
service in Federal Way with 20 transit routes and three park-n-ride lots. The transit routes include
both express and local bus service. The Federal Way community has shown an interest in r
improving the transit system in the city, especially for local travel and between nearby communities.
An interest in better pedestrian and bicycle facilities has also been expressed, as well as recreation
and equestrian trails.
To adequately address the transportation issues in Federal Way, a comprehensive, well-balanced
plan is essential. Building new roads or improving existing streets is one part of the equation.
Providing attractive and efficient transit service is another. Transportation management plans to
encourage commuters to carpool and use the transit system will also help reduce, or at least
maintain, existing levels of congestion. All of these issues and others, such as financing and
transportation's relationship to land use, should be addressed in the City's Comprehensive Plan
which is supported by a separate Transportation Plan.
The City's Transportation Plan should contain the goals and policies that provide a framework for
future decision makers to effectively implement changes to the transportation system. This means
the plan should be results oriented and geared toward posturing Federal Way to be in the best
possible position to address these changes. Therefore, the plan should contain a long-range
transportation improvement program which prioritizes capital improvements based on needs. While
this plan will most likely focus on improvements to the City's arterial roadway system, many of the
prioritized improvements should also address transit, carpooling, bicycles, pedestrians and safety
improvements. The development of the Transportation Plan should include public input through
a formal public involvement program.
In a sense, the central Puget Sound region has become one urban area, under the jurisdiction of
more than 70 governmental bodies. It is therefore important to integrate a cooperative element '
into the transportation plan which encourages the joint development of transportation improvements
with -King County; Pierce County, Tacoma, Des Moines; -Kent; Aubum, WSDOT; METRO -'and --
others.
The responsibility for financing the needed transportation improvements and operations should also
be addressed. Projects which cross jurisdictional lines should be funded by all of the agencies
involved or benefited. Likewise, a mitigation system should be established which provides private
sector financing for transportation improvements needed as a result of development projects.
Several federal and state funding sources are available for transportation improvement projects.
These include the following:
Federal Funds
FAUS - Federal Aid Urban System
FAS - Federal Aid Secondary
FASP - Federal Aid Safety Program
BR- Bridge Replacement Funds
26
State Funds
Urban Arterial Trust Funds
Transportation Improvement Account
WSDOT Category C Program •
Subject to funding (gas tax)
Once the City of Federal Way incorporates, it can also finance transportation improvements by
using monies from the general fund, creating local improvements districts (LID's), using monies
from general obligation bonds or councilmanic bonds, creating transportation benefit districts, or
through public/private cooperative financing. If approved by the legislature, the City will also have
the authority to create local option transportation taxes, such as a road utility or a local gas tax
(subject to voter approval).
All of the federal and state funding options require the City to create and maintain a Six -Year
Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). This planning document contains a listing of prioritized
projects, identifies the estimated cost for planning, designing and constructing the proposed
transportation improvements, identifies funding sources, and estimates the timing of fund
expenditures. The Six -Year TIP for the City of Federal Way can be developed from the results
of the Transportation Plan described above. To qualify for funding from the Transportation
Improvement Board the TIP needs to be completed by July of 1990.
ITEMS NEEDED FOR INCORPORATION
Functional Classifications
In accordance with RCW 47.26.180, the City of Federal Way is required to divide all of its roads
and streets into three functional classes; principal arterials, minor arterials, and collector streets.
This classification is required at the time of incorporation.
For transportation planning, design and financing purposes, streets and highways are grouped
according to the character of service they are intended to provide. Land access and mobility are
primary characteristics involved in the classification of urban roadways.
Principal arterials are intended to provide high mobility and limited access to adjacent land
uses. The principal arterial carries most of the trips entering and leaving the urban area.
Frequently, the major transit routes for an urban area are located on the principal arterials.
The spacing of principal arterials in Federal Way should vary from one-half mile to no more
than one mile in the highly developed central business district area, to no more than two miles
in the urban fringes.
Minor arterials are intended to serve as the distribution system between principal arterials
and collector roadways. They provide a higher degree of land access and less mobility than
the principal arterials. The minor arterial street system includes all arterials not classified as
principal arterials. Local bus routes are usually located on minor arterials. The minor arterial
streets in Federal Way should be spaced from 1/8 to 1/2 mile in the central business district to
no more than two miles in the urban fringe. Ideally, minor arterials should not penetrate
residential neighborhoods.
27
Collector streets collect traffic from local streets in residential neighborhoods and channels it
into the arterial network. The collector street thus penetrates residential neighborhoods and
provides a rough balance between land access and traffic circulation. Local bus routes may be
located on collector streets.
Local streets permit direct access to adjacent land uses and offers the lowest level of traffic
mobility. All roadways not classified as principal arterials, minor arterials or collector streets
are classified as local streets. Local streets in Federal Way should be designed to discourage
through traffic movements. Bus routes should not be permitted on the local street network
The recently adopted King County Transportation Plan includes a functional classification of the
roadways within the city limits of Federal Way. This classification should be adopted by the City
on an interim basis to allow incorporation in a timely manner. However, once the City of Federal
Way has adopted its goals and policies regarding transportation and land use issues, these functional
classifications should be re-examined and updated to reflect the direction of City policy makers.
King County first classified their roadway system in 1964. These original classifications were
updated as part of the 1974 Transportation Plan. Recently, the roadway systems throughout King
County were again examined for their specific functions and their role in the overall transportation
network, and were reclassified accordingly. The roadways in Federal Way that were affected by
this reclassification include the following:

Roadway Standards
State law does not require the City to adopt roadway standards prior to incorporation. However,
once the City incorporates, a set of standards should be in place to guide developers and other
private parties constructing or modifying road or right-of-way facilities where City permits or
approvals will be required.
The roadway standards adopted by the City should provide design and construction guidelines for
all classifications of roads, surfacing materials, driveways, pedestrian facilities, trails, roadside safety
features (lighting, guardrails, etc.), drainage facilities, bridges, utilities and miscellaneous roadway
elements.
Most of the roadways in the City of Federal Way were designed and constructed in accordance with
King County Road Standards. These standards have been developed over a long period of time
and are quite thorough and up to date. The development community is familiar with the
requirements of these standards and have conformed to them for project approvals. Therefore, on
an interim basis, the 1987 King County Road Standards (Ordinance No. 8041) should be adopted
by the City of Federal Way at the time of incorporation. These standards can be modified as the
City matures, or they can be eliminated altogether if the City chooses to create its own, unique set
of roadway standards.
ISSUES:
1. The transportation system in Federal Way should emphasize safety in conjunction with capacity
concerns.
2. The development of Federal Way's pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian facilities should be based
on a systems approach, with safety considerations being held in primary importance.
3. An area -wide approach should be used in analyzing development or rezone impacts on the
transportation system. What are the cumulative effects on the entire system from a proposed
action?
4. Traffic impacts created by developments should be mitigated by the developer. On the other
hand, existing traffic deficiencies should be addressed on a'broader scale, including mitigation
by the City of Federal Way. _
29
5. Improvements to the transportation system in Federal Way should be planned and designed
in a regional context, providing close coordination and cooperation with other agencies such
as King County, Pierce County, area municipalities, WSDOT, and METRO.
6. Different land uses generate different demands on the transportation system. In Federal Way,
land use and transportation should be considered jointly in making decisions related to land use
changes.
7. Landscaping improvements should be encouraged in transportation projects. These landscaping
improvements should be based on a city-wide landscaping plan and coordinated through the
Parks Department.
8. New commercial and business developments in Federal Way- should access their properties
from local access streets. New access locations on existing arterials should be limited or not
allowed to increase.
9. Transit and carpooling should be encouraged in Federal Way. Additional local bus service
should be provided by METRO between communities in Federal Way and between neighboring
cities.
10. Federal Way should participate in the regional decision to implement high -capacity transit
systems. Where appropriate, and where it agrees with regional plans, rights -of -way for high -
capacity transit should be reserved in Federal Way as development occurs.
11. Transportation improvement projects in Federal Way (including street, transit, pedestrian,
bicycle and equestrian facilities and safety improvements) shall be prioritized according to need,
to achieve the best use of public funds.
12. Federal Way should take full advantage of all available funding sources to finance transportation
improvements within the city. As state legislation is developed to allow municipalities to form
street utilities, the City should create a consistent, dependable source of funding for the
implementation, operation and maintenance to their transportation system.
13. Improved access to and across the Interstate freeway should be implemented to provide the
maximum degree of mobility within the city and surrounding communities.
14. Completion on the overall grid system to increase capacity and efficiency is needed.
30

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
WATER
Groundwater
Federal Way is dependent on groundwater for all its City water uses. Several wells penetrate
aquifers at successive depths from which water is pumped to storage tanks located throughout the
City. The Federal Way Water and Sewer District is responsible for this utility.
There are three main aquifers which provide water within the study area. The Redondo -Milton
Channel is the aquifer closest to the surface and is also the most prolific. The Intermediate aquifer
is from 150 to 500 feet below ground and feed eight wells. Only one well extends to the deep
aquifer, which is 700 to 900 feet underground. The utility is in the process of digging another well
in this aquifer.
Given the current and projected growth rate of the City in conjunction with the draw down on
existing aquifers, it is projected that by the year 1993, the maximum potential of the aquifers will
be reached. Concurrent with the development of additional wells are negotiations with the Tacoma
Water Department to secure additional municipal water supplies from that utility. Tacoma's plan
for Pipeline 5 calls for delivery of additional water to Federal Way residents by 1993 and would
provide water needed to accommodate projected growth in the City. There is potential for delay
because of possible lawsuits.
Federal Way's water district is unusual in that the water from its wells is not treated in any way.
There is some manganese in the water but steps to contain that element are undertaken every three
years and it is not considered a problem. The water is not currently chlorinated and although the
federal Clean Water Act mandates that all drinking water will be chlorinated, Federal Way
authorities plan to apply for a waiver because of the unusually high water quality they now enjoy.
In order to preserve the nature of the aquifers which supply this water, certain management
practices should be observed. The recharge areas are and will be subject to development pressures.
To the extent possible, these should be preserved in low density uses. (The utility has a map which
outlines the known limits of the Redondo -Milton Channel.) Secondly, those areas allowed to be
developed within an aquifer recharge zone should incorporate paving practices which allow
infiltration of stormwater into the groundwater system. This could include free -draining asphalt,
on -site retention ponds, and recognition of and respect for existing bodies of water. An education
program aimed at water conservation practices is also recommended.
34
Surface Water
Wetlands
There are a large number of wetlands within the proposed City limits. Forty-six are identified on
the King County Sensitive Areas map. Hydrologically, wetlands store water and slowly release it
into the drainage system. When wetlands are filled, that capacity is lost.
The wetlands in Federal Way are being encroached upon by recent development. They are being
filled in with permission from the County or as a result of careless construction practices. Roads
are constructed over them and some are used as retention/detention ponds adjacent to new
development. Those wetlands located in zones which are being_ developed are left without any
vegetative buffer zones around them. Many are treated as dump sites for refuse.
Of special concern is the need to recognize the importance of wetlands of the study area within
the :context of the entire drainage basin. In particular, regarding the Hylebos, this system drains
into Pierce County and there is severe flooding in the low lying basin. Development in Federal
Way thus can have an impact on the drainage system several miles away from the City's limits.
Increased clearing, filling of wetlands, the creation of impervious surfaces are all impacting the
entire basin. This means that during a major storm event, the potential for flooding downstream
is increased.
Streams and Lakes
Federal Way has an abundance of streams and small lakes, all of which are being impacted by the
current growth trend. Of concern is the impact of development on the watersheds that drain to
the main channels and lakes.
Because many of the area's wetlands have been lost to development, rainwater is no longer stored
and released slowly to the streams. The loss of groundwater aggravates this problem, since
groundwater is commonly a source of water to streams during dry seasons. The result is that many
of the streams in the study are completely dry for large portions of the year. When it does rain,
runoff flashes rapidly through the system, eroding the channel and undercutting banks. When
excess sediment falls into the stream it clogs the gravel beds that salmon use to spawn. Likewise,
excess debris can create migration barriers.
Any alteration of pre -development natural conditions alters the drainage system. All streams in the
study area show impacts from development. Increased sedimentation of streams is the most evident,
but pollutants as well are entering the waters from a variety of sources.
The several lakes in the Federal Way area are for the most part shallow and are easily impacted
by urban runoff. Aging is a natural process for lakes and these are being impacted in such a way
that their aging process is being accelerated.
A comprehensive monitoring of water quality in Federal Way's lakes has not yet been done. It is
recommended that such a study be undertaken with help from Metro and the King County Surface
Water Management Division.
35
Anadromous Fish -Bearing Waters
The anadromous fish -bearing waters of Federal Way are those streams mentioned above and
utilized in the life cycles of anadromous fish (fish that spend part of their life cycles in fresh water
and part in salt water). The adults of this group of native fish return to their spawning areas on
one to five year intervals depending upon the species. The eggs and subsequently the young remain
in fresh water from a few weeks to as long as three years before entering the salt water
environment. Water temperature, clarity and volume of the stream flow are important factors in
survival of the juvenile members of these fish.
The streams which are important to fish habitat in the study area are Joe's Creek, Lakota Creek
and Hylebos Creek These streams are being impacted by the development pressures in Federal
Way. Any clearing of native vegetation, filling of wetlands, extensive grading activities during the
wet season, creation of large parking lots, etc., impacts the amount and quality of water carried to
these streams. Of greatest concern is the increased sedimentation within the streams which covers
the gravel beds so important to salmon egg survival. The increased flow of water and subsequent
scouring of stream banks causes greater turbidity in the water which silts up the spawning beds.
It is recommended that steps be taken which will ensure buffer zones are established along stream
corridors. Restrictions on grading and filling of newly developing urban zones, restrictions on tree
clearing, on -site retention/detention facilities for large-scale development, public education policies
regarding respect for waterways, all will help to improve the quality of fish -bearing waters.
Water Ouality
Information regarding specific stretches of water is not currently available. King County division
of Surface Water Management is in the process of sampling waterways in the study area during the
winter of 1989-90. The draft report covering much of the Hylebos and lower Puget Sound basins
within the Federal Way study area should be available in 1990. This information is going to be part
of current and future conditions which will include water quality, habitat, hydrology and sediment.
Metro has also done some water quality sampling within the region. However, their studies used
only base flow as a basis for monitoring and this gives limited information. Samplings taken during
major storm events, such as those undertaken by King County, provide a more accurate account
of the content of streams during extreme conditions.
Of concern in the monitoring which has been carried out so far is the evidence of fecal coliform
in the water samples taken. While nether Metro nor King County has specific information
regarding the source, it is theorized that leaking septic tanks are causing the problem. Poor animal -
keeping practices is also a potential source, as is the practice of putting sewer lines through
wetlands. It is recommended that an oversight committee from any surface water management
utility which the City of Federal Way sets up, monitors and reviews the installations of the Federal
Way Water and Sewer District.
One major factor in the deterioration of water quality has been stormwater runoff. This is water
which, prior to the urbanization of the watershed, was intercepted by vegetation and/or percolated
into the soil. The amount of runoff' has been greatly increased because of the removal of natural
vegetation and because of paving with impermeable materials. Stormwater flows over the surface
and is usually directed to storm drains which empty directly into natural streams. The magnitude
79R
of flow within the streams is greatly accelerated by the volume of flow from the parking lots,
driveways, roads, roofs, lawns, etc. that have replaced natural vegetation.
The water running off paved surfaces and urban lawns and gardens carries a variety of pollutants
with it. The roads and parking lots, gas stations and driveways contribute pollutants from
automobiles and trucks such as leaks from gas tanks, spilled oil, leaking anti -freeze, spilled brake
fluid, etc. The urban lawns, whether those of private yards or corporate campuses, contribute
excess fertilizers and pesticides during heavy rain storms. All these can enter the streams of fish -
bearing waters and hence all enter directly into the Puget Sound.
The volume of water within a given stream is greatly increased beyond the stream's natural carrying
capabilities. In order to accommodate the additional flow, the stream scours its banks, trying to
make greater room for itself. This leads to erosion of the banks and eventually to large sediment
deposits as the stream enters the Sound. During flood conditions, the water in Hylebos Creek will
carry this additional flow with its pollutants down through Milton and Fife, scouring banks there
and carrying heavy sediment load to Commencement Bay. Streams entering directly in to the
Sound carry their loads to Federal Way beaches.
Specific areas of concern include Sea-Tac Mall with its vast parking lot. While this shopping center
does have retention ponds, these appear to be too small to adequately reduce storm flows; the
detention ponds have little effect on the quality of water released, only the volume. Other areas
of concern are the bird farm at Enchanted Village (out of study area) where large amounts of
animal waste are washed by stormwater into the Hylebos system, and Interstate 5 (I-5), which
discharges into tributaries of Hylebos Creek.
Habitat
Wetlands in Federal Way currently provide the greatest amount of habitat. 'These areas provide
food and shelter for a variety of songbirds, waterfowl, migrating birds, as well as small mammals
and amphibians and reptiles. On the top of the plateau, streams have been largely channelized or
piped. Even in those areas with lakes or wetlands, these systems have been greatly altered. Loss
of wetlands and open spaces have resulted in dewatered stream channels or scoured channels during
storms. Channels through residential areas (such as Joe's Creek) are without diversity of cover and
provide virtually no habitat.
The intense commercial and residential development in the study area has caused some irreversible
loss of habitat. Loss of protective vegetation is the most obvious loss, but increased stream flow
with its erosion and sedimentation of waterways, dumping of trash in wetlands and streams, organic
and inorganic pollutants carried by surface runoff into streams and wetlands from urban areas, all
these factors, separately or combined, are contributing to loss of habitat.
37
SENSITIVE AREAS
Class III Landslide Hazards
The valleys and shoreline bluffs of Federal Way border Puget Sound with steeply sloping
unconsolidated glacial deposits that are highly susceptible to gravity sliding. The identification of
areas susceptible to landsliding is necessary to support grading, building, foundation design, housing
density and other land development regulations in order to reduce the risk of property damage and
potential personal injury or death.
Slope stability studies undertaken by King County identified landslide potential by means of aerial
photo interpretations, field geology techniques, and analysis of existing data such as geologic,
hydrologic, topographic and meteorologic factors contributing to ground instability. Areas subject
to the most severe level of slide potential are identified and mapped as Class III Landslide Hazard
Areas.
Factors used in determining landslide hazard areas were as follows:
Slopes 15 percent and steeper;
• Areas of ancient landslide deposits, active landslides and areas determined to be susceptible
to landsliding;
• Substrate character --Lawton Clay or similar clay combined with sand, gravel, silt with clay layers
exposed above base level on slopes 15 percent or greater.
Potential for landslides in zones susceptible to earth movement is increased when protective
vegetation is removed. A wooded area on or above a bluff helps to draw moisture from the soil
and root systems help to hold soil in place. It is recommended that a clearing permit be required
for any tree cutting in those areas marked as having landslide potential and on shorelines of the
state as defined in the Shoreline Management Act.
Additionally, steps need to be taken to prevent earth -moving activities on or above bluffs. There
are numerous accounts of earth -moving equipment having pushed cleared soil over the tops of a
bank, which can destabilize the lower reaches.
The established drainage pattern which affects the water from is also of importance. The
development activities which occur along the banks of those streams emptying into the Sound can
also affect the landslide potential of that area. Removal of vegetation, paving of land, filling of
wetlands --all the factors which increase surface flow to the channel --increase the volume and
velocity of the stream which in turn scours its banks in order to contain more water. What was
a small stream prior to urbanization can become a large one and the additional water draining
down the bluff can increase the landslide potential.
It is recommended that whenever a proposed development is in an area with a Class III landslide
hazard, a soils study should be completed by a qualified professional. Their studies should include
specific recommendations for mitigating measures such as construction techniques, design, drainage
or density specifications, or seasonal constraints on development.
m
The accompanying map shown the location of those areas designated by King County as Class III
Landslide Hazard Areas.
Class III Seismic Areas
Seismic hazards include ground failure, ground shaking, liquification and the triggering of events
such as landslides and submarine slides in Puget sound. The principal damage caused by
earthquakes is due to ground shaking and associated ground failure due to settling. Ground motion
is amplified and damage to structure is most severe on unconsolidated soils. The entire Puget
Sound regions is seismically active and extensively covered by unconsolidated glacial and alluvial
deposits, a combination contributing to a high susceptiWity to earthquake damage.
Those areas classified as being Seismic Hazard Areas are taken from the U.S .Department of
Agriculture Soil Conservation Service maps which indicate soil types which are known to be
composed of unconsolidated glacial and alluvial materials. These are:
• Soils developed on compact to moderately compact glacial fill (Class I)
• Soils with moderately well drained alluvium and glacial outwash of moderate density (Class II)
It
Poorly drained to impervious alluvium and organic soils which are usually saturated (Class III)
All other soils types located on slopes greater than 15 percent (Class III)
It is recommended that whenever development is proposed in an area mapped as a seismic hazard
area (Class III), soil, geology, erosion and deposition hydrology studies be required.
The accompanying map shows those areas mapped by King County as being subject to seismic
hazards.
Erosion Hazard Areas
Erosion is a natural process of wearing away of the land surface by falling and running water as
well as wind. Of all the geophysical forces, erosion by running water is by far the most important
within the Puget Sound Basin.
The susceptibility of any soil type to erosion depends upon the physical and chemical characteristics
of the soil in addition to its protective vegetative cover, topographic position (slope and direction
of storm travel), temperature, the intensity of rainfall and velocity of runoff water.
The accompanying map shows the geographic distribution of soils which, according to the Soil
Conservation Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, experience sever to very server
erosion hazard potential. This group of soils includes:
AgD Alderwood gravely, sandy loan
AKF Alderwood-Kitsap soil
BeF Beausite gravely sandy loan
KpD Kitsap silt loam-
OvD Ovall gravely loam
OcF "
39
RaD Ragnar fine sandy loam
RdE Ragnar-Indianola Association
Rh River wash
Cb Coastal beaches
It is recommended that whenever development is proposed for an areas within a zone mapped as
prone to erosion hazard, soil, geology and/or erosion studies be required.
Additionally, steps similar to those listed under Wetlands and Landslide Hazards should be
undertaken. Only with the control of the movement of surface water will erosion hazards be
limited.
ISSUES
1. Use King County's Sensitive Areas maps and habitat maps, and the Federal Way Water and
Sewer District's aquifer recharge area map in preparing land use maps for Federal Way's new
Comprehensive Plan.
2. Limit filling of wetlands or streams and establish buffer zones for these and their tributaries.
Define a minimum threshold size for wetlands. Establish a goal of no net loss of wetlands.
Adopt provisions that improve or enhance water quality and habitat.
3. Evaluate and modify specific policies, regulations and methods related to the management of
surface water in the basin. Work towards a regional system of surface water management-
4. Maintain and/or enhance instream riparian habitat through land use regulations, community
efforts, requirements for tree -cutting permits. Particularly sensitive habitats should be identified
and should be protected with specific land use regulations. Establish identifiable buffer zones
around wetlands land sensitive areas and protect these zones through land use regulations.
5. Increase enforcement of land use regulations currently in place and where necessary, propose
modifications or new ones. An ordinance should be established requiring developers pay for
the capital needs for their projects. The City of Federal Way should hire the consultant when
an EIS is required for a project.
6. Develop appropriate working agreements among governmental agencies, including the Puget
Sound Water Quality Authority, landowners, and other parties in order to implement the
recommendations of this paper.
7. Enter an Urban Area Agreement with neighboring communities in order to supervise actNities
outside the City which could impact the Federal Way area.
8. Establish Interlocal Agreement with King County's Surface Water Management division in
order to benefit from ongoing water/wetland studies and policies in the Federal; Way area.
9. Because a Basin Plan is in progress, the City of Federal Way should implement that until they
develop their own plan.
10. Use density controls in the land use plan in order to minimize impact to habitat, stream
corridors, wetlands, landslide areas, shorelines.
