VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: EJ Walsh, P.E., Public Works Director`&/-'—e�
Cole Elliott, P.E. Development Services Manager
SUBJECT: Ordinance to Adopt 2021 King County Surface Water Design Manual
KCSWDM
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
There are no financial impacts.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City of Federal Way was issued our current Phase II National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Permit on July 1, 2019. As a requirement of the permit the City has three options
for adopting an approved Stormwater Manual:
■ Adopt the State of Washington (Ecology) manual,
► Adopt a Phase I Permit holder (King County) manual,
• Create our own.
Currently the City has adopted the 2016 KCSWDM. On July 23, 2021, King County released an
update to their stormwater manual. As a Phase II permit holder, the City must adopt the 2021 King
County Surface Water Design Manual by December 31, 2021.
The King County manual update responds to comments from Ecology on the King County NPDES
permit and brings the KCSWDM into compliance with the Ecology manual. Changes are updates
due to research, studies, and best available treatments since the last manual was adopted.
As part of the Ordinance, the City is also updating the City of Federal Way Revised Code Chapter
16. Chapter 16 revisions reflect code updates not included in the previous adoption and revisions
required to match the 2021 KCSWDM.
The City of Federal Way Addendum to the KCSWDM reflects definition changes, Code changes,
and reference materials updated in the 2021 manual.
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Federal Way, Washington, relating to
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Phase II Permit
Requirements; amending FWRC 16.20.010 and 16.25.010 (Amending
Ordinance Nos. 99-352, 09-630, 16-828).

Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ("NPDES Permit") on July 1, 2019 pursuant to the
requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act ("CWA") —National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System ("NPDES"); and
WHEREAS, the NPDES Permit requires affected cities and counties, such as the City of
Federal Way ("City"), to adopt Storm Water Design Requirements consistent with the terms of the
NPDES permit; and
WHEREAS, the NPDES Permit requires the City to adopt a Stormwater Manual, which may
be either the State of Washington (Department of Ecology) manual, a Phase I Permit holder (King
County) manual, or a manual created by the City; and

Water Design Manual ("KCSWDM"); and
WHEREAS, on July 23, 2021, King County released an update to the KCSWDM; and
WHEREAS, as a Phase II permit holder, the City must adopt the updated KCSWDM by
December 31, 2021; and
WHEREAS, the proposed regulatory code amendments will serve to better protect the City's
natural water resources in terms of both water quality and water quantity; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Federal Way finds it in the best interest of the
Ordinance No. 21- Page I of 8
Rev 1 /21
City to modify the regulatory code to meet the NPDES Permit requirements and that amending this
section is consistent with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan; and is in the best
interest of the residents of the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to adopt the 2021 Federal Way Addendum to the King
County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual, which is attached and incorporated by this
reference.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. FWRC 16.20.010 is hereby amended to read as follows:
16.20.010 Manuals and addendum adopted.
The 24t6 current version of the King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual
(KCSWDM), the current accompanying version of the 204-6rFederal Way Addendum to the King
County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual, the King County Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Manual, and the latest edition of the LID Technical Guidance Manual for Puget Sound, as
they exist on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter or as hereafter amended, are
hereby adopted by this reference. They are referred to in this title respectively as the KCSWDM,
Federal Way Addendum, the KCSPPM and the LID Manual.
Section 2. FWRC 16.25.010 is hereby amended to read as follows:
16.25.010 Core and special requirements.
Depending on the type of drainage review required, as described in FWRC 16.25.020, one or more
core or special requirements shall be met. The core and special requirements, described below, are
also described in detail in the KCSWDM and Federal Way Addendum adopted by reference in
Ordinance No. 21- Page 2 of 8
Rev 1 /21
FWRC 16.20.010.
(1) Core requirements.
(a) Core Requirement #1— Discharge at the Natural Location. All surface and stormwater runoff
from a project must be discharged at the natural location so as not to be diverted onto or away
from downstream properties. The manner in which runoff is discharged from the project site
must not create a significant adverse impact to downhill properties or drainage systems.
(b) Core Requirement #2 — Off -Site Analysis. All proposed projects must submit an off -site
analysis report that assesses potential off -site drainage impacts associated with development of
the project site and proposes appropriate mitigations of those impacts. The initial permit
submittal shall meet the requirements outlined in the KCSWDM and the Federal Way
Addendum.
(c) Core Requirement #3 —Flow Control. All proposed projects, including redevelopment
projects, must provide on -site flow control facilities to mitigate the impacts of increased storm
and surface water runoff generated by the addition of new impervious surface, new pervious
surface and replacement impervious surfaces. These facilities shall, at a minimum, meet the
performance criteria for one of the area -specific flow control standards and be implemented
according to the applicable flow control implementation requirements described in the
KCSWDM. Flow control BMPs must be provided as directed in the KCSWDM.
(d) Core Requirement #4 — Conveyance System. All engineered conveyance system elements for
proposed projects must be analyzed, designed, and constructed to provide a minimum level of
protection against overtopping, flooding, erosion, and structural failure as specified in the
KCSWDM.
Ordinance No. 21- Page 3 of 8
Rev 1/21
(e) Core Requirement #5 — Erosion and Sediment Control. All proposed projects that will clear,
grade, or otherwise disturb the site must provide erosion and sediment controls to prevent, to the
maximum extent possible, the transport of sediment from the project site to downstream drainage
facilities, water resources, and adjacent properties. To prevent sediment transport, erosion and
sediment control (ESC) measures that are appropriate to the project site must be applied and
performed as described in the KCSWDM. Both temporary and permanent erosion and sediment
controls shall be implemented as described in the KCSWDM.
(f) Core Requirement #6 — Maintenance and Operations. Maintenance and operation of all
drainage facilities is the responsibility of the applicant or property owner, except those facilities
for which Federal Way is granted an easement, tract, or right-of-way and officially assumes
maintenance and operation as described in the KCSWDM. Drainage facilities must be
maintained and operated in compliance with Federal Way maintenance standards.
(g) Core Requirement #7 —Financial Guarantees and Liability. All drainage facilities
constructed or modified for projects (except downspout infiltration and dispersion systems), and
any work performed in the right-of-way, must comply with the financial guarantee requirements
in FWRC Title 19.
(h) Core Requirement #8 — Water Quality. All proposed projects, including redevelopment
projects, must provide water quality (WQ) facilities to treat the runoff from new and/or replaced
pollution -generating impervious surfaces and pollution -generating pervious surfaces.
Redevelopment projects may also be required to provide WQ facilities to treat existing pollution -
generating impervious surfaces. WQ facilities shall be selected and implemented according to the
KCSWDM.
Ordinance No. 21- Page 4 of 8
Rev 1 /21
i Core Re uirement#9--FlowControlBMPs. All Droposed projects, includin redevelo meat
projects, must provide onsite flow control BMPs to mitigate the impacts of storm and surface
water runoff generated by new impervious surface new pervious surface existing impervious
surfaces and r laced im ervious surface tar eted for miti ation ass ecified in the foiiowin
sections. Flow control BMPs must be selected and applied according to the KCSWDM.
(2) Special requirements.
(a) Special Requirement #1 — Other Adopted Area -Specific Requirements. King County has
developed several types of area -specific plans and regulations that contain requirements for
drainage design. These regulations include critical drainage areas, master drainage plans, basin
plans, lake management plans, and shared facility drainage plans. In some cases, these plans and
regulations could overlap with the city of Federal Way's jurisdictional area.
The Hylebos Creek and Lower Puget Sound Basin Plan is the only one of these area -specific
regulations that currently affects Federal Way. King County developed this basin plan which
recommends specific land uses, regional capital projects, and special drainage requirements for
future development within the Hylebos and lower Puget Sound basin.
The drainage requirements of adopted area -specific regulations such as basin plans shall be
applied in addition to the drainage requirements of the KCSWDM and Federal Way Addendum
unless otherwise specified in the adopted regulation. Where conflicts occur between the two, the
drainage requirements of the adopted area -specific regulation shall supersede those in the
KCSWDM and Federal Way Addendum.
(b) Special Requirement #2 — Floodplain/Floodway Delineation. Floodplains and floodways are
subject to inundation during extreme events. The 100-year floodplains are delineated in order to
Ordinance No. 21- Page S of 8
Rev 1 /21
minimize flooding impacts to new development and to prevent aggravation of existing flooding
problems by new development. Regulations and restrictions concerning development within a
100-year floodplain are found in Federal Way's environmentally sensitive areas and flood hazard
regulations.
If an approved flood hazard study exists, then it may be used as the basis for delineating the
floodplain and floodway boundaries provided the study was prepared in a manner consistent with
the KCSWDM and other Federal Way flood hazard regulations. If an approved flood
hazard study does not exist, then one shall be prepared based on the requirements described in
Chapter 4.4.2 of the KCSWDM, "Floodplain/Floodway Analysis."
(c) Special Requirement #3 — Flood Protection Facilities. Developing sites protected by levees,
revetments, or berms requires a high level of confidence in their structural integrity and
performance. Proper analysis, design, and construction is necessary to protect against the
potentially catastrophic consequences if such facilities should fail.
The applicant is required to demonstrate conformance with FEMA regulations using the methods
specified in Chapter 4.4.2 of the KCSWDM. In addition, certain easement requirements (outlined
in Chapter 4.1 of the KCSWDM) must be met in order to allow city access for maintenance of
the facility.
(d) Special Requirement #4 — Source Control. Water quality source controls, many of which are
listed in the KCSPPM and the LID Manual, prevent rainfall and runoff water from coming into
contact with pollutants, thereby reducing the likelihood that pollutants will enter public
waterways and violate water quality standards. When applicable, structural source control
Ordinance No. 21- Page 6 of 8
Rev 1/21
measures, such as car wash pads or dumpster area roofing, shall be shown on the site
improvement plans submitted for engineering review and approval. Other nonstructural source
control measures, such as covering storage piles with plastic or isolating areas where pollutants
are used or stored, are to be implemented after occupancy and need not be addressed during the
plan review process. All commercial and industrial projects (irrespective of size) undergoing
drainage review are required to implement applicable source controls.
(e) Special Requirement #S — Oil Control. Projects proposing to develop or redevelop a high -use
site must provide oil controls in addition to any other water quality controls required by this
manual. Such sites typically generate high concentrations of oil due to high traffic turnover or the
frequent transfer of oil.
Section 3. Severability. Should any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase
of this ordinance, or its application to any person or situation, be declared unconstitutional or invalid
for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance
or its application to any other person or situation. The City Council of the City of Federal Way
hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence,
clauses, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections,
sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 4. Corrections. The City Clerk and the codifiers of this ordinance are authorized to
make necessary corrections to this ordinance including, but not limited to, the correction of
scrivener/clerical errors, references, ordinance numbering, section/subsection numbers and any
references thereto.
Ordinance No. 21- Page 7 of 8
Rev 1/21
Section 5. Ratification. Any act consistent with the authority and prior to the effective date of
this ordinance is hereby ratified and affirmed.
Section 6. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days
from and after its passage and publication, as provided by law.

January XX 2022
Introduction
This addendum to the 2021 King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual
(KCSWDM) applies to development and re -development proposals within the City of Federal
Way. The KCSWDM has been adopted to meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act, the
Endangered Species Act, Washington State Growth Management Act, and the City of Federal
Way's (City) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. This
addendum includes minor revisions to the KCSWDM to address the differences between King
County's and the City's organization and processes. In order to maintain equivalency in review
requirements and level of protection provided by the KCSWDM, no major substantive changes
have been made to the manual.
Addendum Organization
The information presented in this addendum is organized as follows:
Section 1: Terminology: At times King County and the City of Federal Way use
different terminology to describe, or to refer to, equivalent subject matter. This section
identifies these terms and the City of Federal Way's equivalent terminology.
Section 2: Key Revisions: This section specifically identifies the modifications the
City has made to the KCSWDM.
Section 3: Code Reference Tables: King County code is referenced in many places
throughout the KCSWDM. This section identifies these code references and equivalent
City Code where applicable.
Section 4: Reference Materials: This section identifies which reference materials
provided in the KCSWDM are applicable and which are not. It also identifies if
equivalent City of Federal Way reference materials are available.
Section 5: Mapping: City of Federal Way equivalents to the Flow Control
Applications Map and the Water Quality Applications Map are included in this section.
The City's equivalent to the County Landslide Hazard Drainage Areas Map is the City
Sensitive/Critical Areas Map available from the Community Development Planning
Division.
Note: Clarifications and interpretations to the KCSWDM or this addendum will be documented
and made available through policy statements within the City's Development Standards.

Section 1: Terminology:
At times King County and City of Federal Way use different terminology to describe or to refer
to equivalent subject matter. This section identifies these terms and the City of Federal Way's
equivalent terminology.
Critical Drainage Areas (CDA's) - City of Federal Way (CFW) code has no equivalent term or
designation. Additional requirements to those outlined in the KCSWDM, if any, will be
determined based on information provided in the Technical Information Report for an individual
project by the Public Works Director or their designee.
Department of Local Services, Permitting Division (DLS-Permitting) = City of Federal Way
Public Works Department.
Department of Natural Resources and Parks (DNRP) = Not applicable, No CFW equivalent.
Director = City of Federal Way Public Works Director.
Drainage facilities restoration and site stabilization guarantee and drainage defect and
maintenance guarantee = CFW Performance/Maintenance Bond.
King County = City of Federal Way (CFW).

Chapter 1: Drainage Review and Requirements
The following steps replace Section 1.1.1 of the KCSWDM:
Section 1.1.1 Projects Requiring Drainage Review
Introduction
The following steps shall be used instead of Section 1.1.1 of the KCSWDM to determine
drainage review requirements within the City of Federal Way. This process has been modified to
meet the City of Federal Way water quality review requirements and thresholds for
redevelopment identified in Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.30.120, Nonconforming
water quality improvements.
Determining Drainage Review Requirements:
Step 1
Is the project or proposed activity subject to City Code Title 16 (Surface Water Management)
pursuant to FWRC 16.15.010?
16.15.010 Regulated activities.
The following projects or activities are subject to the provisions of this title, unless exempted in
FWRC 16.1 S. 020:
(1) Single-family residential; or
(2) Projects that add 2, 000 square feet or more of new impervious surface, replaced
impervious surface or new plus replaced impervious surface; or
(3) Projects that propose 7,000 square feet or more of land disturbing activity; or
(4) Projects that propose to construct or modify a drainage pipe/ditch that is 12 inches or
more in size/depth, or receives surface and stormwater runoff from a drainage
pipe/ditch that is 12 inches or more in sizeldepth; or
(S) Collection and concentration of surface and stormwater runoff from a drainage area
of more than 5, 000 square feet; or
(6) Projects which contain, are adjacent to or directly discharge to a floodplain, stream,
lake, wetland, or closed depression, groundwater recharge area, or other water
quality sensitive area, or a receiving water with a documented water quality problem
as determined by the Public Works Director, based on a written map, policy, water
quality monitoring data or plan in existence or implemented by the director prior to
submission of a redevelopment application which is determined to trigger application
of this subsection, or based on information developed during review of a particular
redevelopment application; or
(7) Projects that involve a change in use, and the changed use has a potential to release a
new pollutant(s) to surface water systems within the city. For the purposes of this
subsection, "new pollutant(s)" means a pollutant that was not discharged at that
City of Federal Way Addendum to the
King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual
Page 4 of 23
location immediately prior to the change in use, as well as a pollutant that was
discharged in less quantities immediately prior to the change in use;
(8) Projects other than normal maintenance or other than tenant improvements, but
including any increase in gross floor area, in any one consecutive 12-month period
which exceeds 50 percent of the assessed or appraised value (whichever is greater) of
the structure or improvement; or
(9) Project proposing $100, 000 or more of improvements to an existing high use site.
[Note: the dollar amount indicated can be adjusted based on the consumer price index as
identified in the KCSWDM in section I. I. I.]
Redevelopment projects that are subject to water quality improvements may phase construction
of the improvements as described in FWRC 19.30.120, Non -conforming water quality.
Step 2
Projects Subject to Title 16
Projects subject to Title 16 (Surface Water Management) shall determine water quality and
stormwater review requirements using Sections 1.1. LA (Step 3) and 1.1. LB (Step 4) of this
addendum.
Projects Not Subject to Title 16
Projects not subject to Title 16 (Surface Water Management) may still be subject to clearing and
grading review requirements pursuant to International Building Code (IBC) Appendix J and
FWRC 19.120.
Projects which are subject to clearing and grading permit requirements, but do not meet the
thresholds identified in 1.1.LB, are subject to the Erosion and Sedimentation Control (ESC)
requirements and BMPs of Core Requirement #5 and C.1.4 of the KCSWDM as applicable.
Specific ESC requirements shall be determined on a project by project basis during clearing and
grading review.
Those projects exempt from clearing and grading permit requirements, although not required to
be reviewed, are still responsible for implementing Erosion and Sedimentation Control (ESC)
measures to maintain a stable site and mitigate offsite impacts.
Step 3
1.1.1.A PROJECTS REQUIRING WATER QUALITY REVIEW
Water Quality Review (Core Requirement #8) is required for any proposed project (except those
proposing only maintenance) that is subject to a City of Federal Way development permit or
approval, AND that meets any one of the following conditions:
New Development
1. The project adds or will result in 2,000 square feet or more of new impervious surface; OR

of 5,000 square feet or more; OR
7. Redevelopment which involves the construction or replacement of a building footprint or
other structure having a surface area of 5,000 square feet or more, or which involves the
expansion of a building footprint or other structure by 5,000 square feet of surface area or
more; OR
8. Redevelopment which involves the repair or replacement of 5,000 square feet or more of an
impervious surface, when such redevelopment is not part of a routine maintenance activity;
OR
9. Redevelopment which involves the collection and/or concentration of surface and/or
stormwater runoff from a drainage area of 5,000 square feet or more; OR
10. Redevelopment which contains or directly discharges to a floodplain, stream, lake, wetland,
or closed depression, groundwater recharge area, or other water quality sensitive area
determined by the Public Works Director, based on a written map, policy, water quality
monitoring data or plan in existence or implemented by the Public Works Director prior to
submission of a redevelopment application which is determined to trigger application of this
subsection, or based on information developed during review of a particular redevelopment
application;
11. Redevelopment which involves a change in use, and the changed use has a potential to
release a new pollutant(s) to surface water systems within the city. For the purposes of this
subsection, "new pollutant(s)" means a pollutant that was not discharged at that location
immediately prior to the change in use, as well as a pollutant that was discharged in less
quantities immediately prior to the change in use;
"Redevelopment" means a project that proposes to add, replace, or modify impervious surface (for purposes other
than a residential subdivision or maintenance) on a site that is already substantially developed in a manner
consistent with its current zoning, or with a legal nonconforming use, or has an existing impervious surface
coverage of 35 percent or more. Water quality for the entire subject property must be brought into compliance
with FWRC Title 16, where the proposed redevelopment meets or exceeds the thresholds set forth, and shall be
done in accordance with the approved King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual or equivalent, as
amended. FWRC 19.30.120)
City of Federal Way Addendum to the
King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual
Page 6 of 23
12. Redevelopment, other than normal maintenance or other than the tenant improvements, but
including any increase in gross floor area, in any one consecutive 12-month period which
exceeds 50 percent of the assessed or appraised value (whichever is greater) of the structure
or improvement being redeveloped. The applicant may provide an appraisal of the
improvement. The appraisal must be from a source acceptable to the City. The Public Works
Director may require the applicant to provide an appraisal from a second source acceptable to
the City if the assessed valuation appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. If more than one
appraisal is provided by the applicant or required by the City, the greater of the two amounts
shall be used. For purposes of determining value under this section, improvements required
pursuant to FWRC 19.30.090 (nonconforming development), FWRC 19.30.110
(street/sidewalk improvements), this section (nonconforming water quality improvements)
and FWRC 19.135.030 (street/sidewalk improvements) shall not be counted towards the 50
percent threshold which would trigger application of this subsection;
13. Redevelopment of property which drains or discharges to a receiving water that has a
documented water quality problem, as determined by the Public Works Director based on a
map, plan, water quality monitoring data or a written policy in existence or implemented by
the Public Works Director prior to submission of a redevelopment application determined to
trigger application of this subsection, where the Public Works Director determines that the
redevelopment requires additional specific controls to address the documented water quality
problem.
Water Quality Review for "Redevelopment"
Projects meeting the "redevelopment" definition and thresholds identified in this section are
subject to Core Requirement #8 for the entire site 2 pursuant to the city's Nonconformance code
(FWRC 19.30.120). Please note that application of Core Requirement #8 differs between
redevelopment and new development as indicated in Section 1.2.8 of this addendum.
Step 4
MAX PROJECTS REQUIRING STORMWATER REVIEW
Stormwater Review is required for any proposed project (except those proposing only
maintenance) that is subject to a City of Federal Way development permit or approval, AND
that meets any one of the following conditions (see Figure 1.1. LB for flow chart):
1. The project adds or will result in 2,000 square feet or more of new impervious surface,
replaced impervious surface, or new plus replaced impervious surface; OR
Site (a.k.a. development site) means a single parcel as established by the King County Department of
Assessments, or two or more contiguous parcels that are under common ownership or documented
legal control, used as a single parcel for purposes of applying for authority from King County to carry
out a development/project proposal. For projects located primarily within dedicated rights -of -way, site
includes the entire width of right-of-way within the total length of right-of-way subject to improvements
proposed by the project.
City of Federal Way Addendum to the
King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual
Page 7 of 23
2. The project proposes 7,000 square feet or more of land disturbing activity; OR
3. The project proposes to construct or modify a drainage pipe/ditch that is 12 inches or more in
size/depth, or receives surface and stormwater runoff from a drainage pipe/ditch that is 12
inches or more in size/depth; OR
4. The project contains or is adjacent to "frequently flooded areas" or "special flood hazards" as
defined in FWRC 14.05.030 and 19.142.050; OR
5. The project is located within a Critical Drainage Area; OR
6. The project is a redevelopment project 3 proposing $100,0004 or more of improvements to an
existing high -use site; OR
7. The project is a redevelopment project on a single- or multiple -parcel site in which the total
of new plus replaced impervious surface is 5,000 square feet or more and whose valuation
of proposed improvements (including interior improvements and excluding required
mitigation and frontage improvements) exceeds 50% of the assessed value of the existing
site improvements.
If stormwater review is required for the proposed project, the type of review must be determined
based on project and site characteristics as described in Section 1.1.2 of the KCSWDM.
3 For the purposes of this section "Redevelopment project" means a project that proposes to add,
replace, or modify impervious surfaces for purposes other than a residential subdivision or
maintenance on a site that is already substantially developed in a manner consistent with its current
zoning or with a legal non -conforming use, or has an existing impervious surface coverage of 35% or
more. The following examples illustrate the application of this definition. (KCSWDM Chpt. 1)
4 This is the "project valuation" as declared on the submitted permit application. The dollar amount of
this threshold is considered to be as of January 8, 2001 and may be adjusted on an annual basis using
the local consumer price index (CPI). Note: January 8, 2001 is the effective date of the ESA 4(d) Rule
for Puget Sound Chinook salmon.

governs.
16.05.180 R definitions.
"Redevelopment"
For the purposes of determining water quality review requirements "redevelopment" -means, a
project that proposes to add, replace, or modify impervious surface (for purposes other than a
residential subdivision or maintenance) on a site that is already substantially developed in a
manner consistent with its current zoning, or with a legal nonconforming use, or has an
existing impervious surface coverage of 35 percent or more. Water quality for the entire
subject property must be brought into compliance with FWRC Title 16, where the proposed
redevelopment meets or exceeds the thresholds set forth, and shall be done in accordance with
the approved King County, Washington Surface Water Design Manual or equivalent, as
amended. (FWRC 19.30.120)
For the purposes of determining flow control and other stormwater review requirements, the

Public Works Director prior to submission of a redevelopment application which is
determined to trigger application of this subsection, or based on information
developed during review of a particular redevelopment application;
(f) Redevelopment which involves a change in use, and the changed use has a potential
to release a new pollutant(s) to surface water systems within the city. For the
purposes of this subsection, "new pollutant(s) " means a pollutant that was not
discharged at that location immediately prior to the change in use, as well as a
pollutant that was discharged in less quantities immediately prior to the change in
use;
(g) Redevelopment, other than normal maintenance or other than the tenant
improvements, but including any increase in gross floor area, in any one consecutive
12-month period which exceeds 50 percent of the assessed or appraised value
(whichever is greater) of the structure or improvement being redeveloped. The
appraisal must be from a state -certified general appraiser. For purposes of
determining value under this section, improvements required pursuant to FWRC
19.30.090 (nonconforming development), 19.30.110 (street/sidewalk
improvements), this section (nonconforming water quality improvements) and
FWRC 19.135.030 (street/sidewalk improvements) shall not be counted towards the
50 percent threshold which would trigger application of this subsection;
(h) Redevelopment of property which drains or discharges to a receiving water that has
a documented water quality problem, as determined by the Public Works Director
based on a map, plan, water quality monitoring data or a written policy in existence
or implemented by the Public Works Director prior to submission of a
redevelopment application determined to trigger application of this subsection,
where the Public Works Director determines that the redevelopment requires
additional specific controls to address the documented water quality problem.
(2) Timing. All improvements required by this section shall be constructed or installed
concurrent with the redevelopment triggering application of this section, unless an
applicant for redevelopment opts to pursue incremental construction of required
improvements. In that event, the applicant shall develop and submit to the Public Works
Director a stormwater management plan detailing all of the improvements required by this
section, and proceed according to the following subsections:
(a) Extent of construction of required water quality improvements. Where the Public
Works Director determines that incremental construction is physically feasible, the
applicant shall construct that portion of the required improvements according to the
following schedule:

Where construction of 100 percent of water quality improvements is required under
this subsection, the improvements may be constructed over a period extending no
more than five years from the date of approval of the redevelopment. A person
choosing to utilize such extended construction shall provide, prior to approval of the
stormwater management plan, a performance bond and bond agreement that:
(i) Have a term equal to the construction schedule proposed in the plan; and
(ii) Comply with the applicable requirements of Chapter 19.25 FWRC, as amended.
(b) Incremental construction not feasible. Where the Public Works Director determines
that incremental construction is not physically feasible, 100 percent of the required
water quality improvements must be installed, concurrent with the redevelopment.
(c) Calculation of redevelopment value. For purposes of calculating the value of
redevelopment in order to apply subsection (2)(a) of this section, the Public Works
Director shall consider the cost of the proposed redevelopment as a percentage of the
assessed or appraised value of all structures on the subject property. The appraisal
must be from a state -certified real estate appraiser.
(d) Subsequent redevelopment. Whenever any person seeks approval for redevelopment
on property for which incremental construction of required water quality
improvements was previously authorized pursuant to this subsection (2), any
additional water quality improvements to be required shall be determined by
application of the schedule in subsection (2)(a) of this section based on the
stormwater management plan prepared as part of the first request for authorization of
incremental construction. If water quality requirements have changed since
preparation of the initial stormwater management plan, a new plan shall be prepared
detailing improvements required to comply with any existing and new requirements,
and the schedule in subsection (2)(a) of this section shall also be applied to the new
plan.
(3) Location of water quality improvements. A person proposing redevelopment on a
property or site having a Federal Way comprehensive plan designation of CC-F (city
center frame) or CC-C (city center core) may construct water quality facilities required
by this section below grade.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Mirror Lake Highland LLC requests approval of a plat alteration to remove a condition of plat
approval on its 16-lot cottage housing subdivision that requires it to construct two affordable
units. The plat is generally located at 604 SW 312th Street.
The applicant agreed to construct the two affordable housing units in 2008 as part of its
preliminary plat approval to qualify for a density bonus authorizing 16 dwelling units instead of
12 for the project site. The affordable housing density bonus was repealed by the City Council on
November 4, 2020, by City Council Ordinance No 20-899. That repeal also changed the
maximum dwelling unit count for a cottage housing plat from 12 to 16 units. Under current city
regulations, the applicant would be allowed to develop its project site into a 16-unit cottage
housing plat without a density bonus.
On August 11, 2021, the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on the proposed plat alteration.
The Hearing Examiner recommended the City Council approve the proposed plat alteration as
described in his August 25, 2021, Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Recommendation.

Substantive:
3. Proposal and Site Description. Mirror Lake Highland LLC requests approval of a plat
alteration to remove a covenant on its 16-lot cottage housing subdivision requiring it to construct two
homes as affordable housing. The plat is generally located at 604 SW 312th Street_
More specifically, the Applicant requests removal of Note 5 on Sheet 2 of the Mirror Lake Final Plat,
which provides as follows:
Affordable Housing Lots — Lots 7 and 13 are designated as affordable housing units per
City of Federal Way Cottage Housing Ordinance, Federal Way Revised Code Chapter
19.250, Section 19.250.150. The affordable housing sales covenant, as approved by the
City, shall be in force for 15 years from initial occupancy.
Mirror Lake Highland is a recorded 16-lot single-family residential subdivision for a cottage housing project on
approximately 1.85 acres. The City Council approved the preliminary plat application for the subdivision in
2008 and the final plat in 2019. A cottage or compact single-family residence has been constructed on each of
the 16 lots in the Mirror Lake Highland Plat except for the two affordable housing lots.
FWRC 19.05.030(C), defines cottage housing development (CHD) as a residential lot development consisting of
clusters of between 4 and 16 detached dwelling units that include cottages and may include compact single-
family units. The compact single-family units are subject to maximum size limits. The CHID regulations also
include open space and architectural design standards. Cottage home developments are restricted in square
footage but are allowed at roughly twice the density permitted by the underlying zone. The homes are
characterized by home orientation to a shared central open space.
At the time of the CHD review and approval, the FWRC limited CHD clusters to 12 units with the option to
increase them to 16 units with an affordable housing density bonus. The two Mirror Lake affordable housing
units at issue were proposed to increase the number of authorized units from 12 to 16.
The City Council repealed the CHD density bonus, FWRC 19.250.150, by adoption of Ordinance No. 20-899 on
November 4, 2020. Ordinance No. 20-899 also increased the maximum number of units per CHD cluster
without a density bonus from 12 to 16 by amendment of FWRC 19.250.030(1)(b). Under FWRC
19.250.030(1)(b) as currently applicable, the Applicant would be allowed to divide the project site into 16 lots
without an affordable housing density bonus.
4. Characteristics of the Surrounding Area. All surrounding uses are zoned RS 7.2 with Lake
Grove Elementary located to the east.
5. Adverse Impacts/Adequacy of Infrastructure. There are no significant adverse environmental
impacts associated with the proposal. The proposal involves no alteration to plat design or any plat
associated improvements or any change in demand upon public services. As confirmed by staff in the
staff report, for these reasons the removal of the affordable housing note will have no impact on
suaound ewes, the .

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Procedural:
1. Authority of Hearing Examiner: FWRC 18.45.050 and .060 authorizes the hearing
examiner to hold a hearing and snake a recounnendation to the City Council on applications for
plat alterations.
Substantive:
2. Zoning Designation: RS 7.2.
3. Review Criteria and Application. FWRC 18.45.050(2) and (3) govern the standards for
plat alteration review. The proposed plat alteration is consistent with those standards.
The FWRC 18.45.050 standards are too numerous to quote with any significant utility. In general,
with one exception discussed below, the standards regulate plat design and infrastructure
improvements. An important issue regarding application of those standards is whether the standards
only apply to the portion of the plat that is being altered or whether they apply to the plat as a whole.
Arguably, the standards apply to the plat as a whole because otherwise the Applicant could be
engaging in selective vesting. Selective vesting is applying some regulations that have vested along
-with a permit application and then waiving vesting as to other regulations that were amended after
vesting. Selective vesting is prohibited by the courts because it enables developers to cobble
together a set of development standards that were never intended to be collectively applied by the
City Council. See Reclamation Co. v. Bjornsen, 125 Wn. App. 432 (2005)1.
In this case, the Applicant would clearly be engaged in selective vesting if the Council hadn't
adopted Ordinance No. 20-899 to increase the maximum number of lots per CHD cluster from 12 to
16 without an affordable housing bonus. If the maximum were still set at 12, approval of the plat
alteration would enable the Applicant to develop 16 lots in a CHD cluster when no set of regulations
concurrently in place would allow that many lots without an affordable housing bonus.
Fortunately for the Applicant, there is no selective vesting occurring for this proposal. This is
because (1) the number of lots per CHD cluster has been increased from 12 to 16 by Ordinance No.
20-899; and (2) beyond the CHD amendments previously discussed, the City's subdivision standards
have not materially changed since the Mirror Lake plat vested sometime after 20062.
Only three applicable plat alteration standards have been amended since the vesting of Mirror
Lake — FWRC 18.60.050, 18.60.080 and 19.135.251. FWRC 18.60.050 and 18.60.080
"encourage" the use of low impact development techniques for street and stormwater
' Bjarnson dealt with a developer who used the vesting date of its application to apply some vested standards and then
applied subsequently adopted standards for the same permit review. The circumstances of this application are slightly
different, as the Applicant is mixing applicable standards between two applications (preliminary plat and plat alteration) as
opposed to one. However, the applicable principle is still the same. As in Bjarnson, the Applicant of this case should not
be allowed to mix applicable standards by applying those that applied for its preliminary plat application in 2009 and then
adding newly adopted standards in the current application.
Z The staff report notes that the City's cottage housing regulations were adopted in 2006, which would be Ordinance No.
06-533. Ordinance No. 06-533 had an effective date of September 28, 2006. This means that the Applicant's preliminary
plat application had to vest after September 28, 2006 to take advantage of the ordinance.
Plat Alteration -- 3
improvements. Since the requirements are not mandatory and the CHD design already
incorporates LID features such as pervious driveways and rain gardens, that standard would
likely have been met if applied during the Mirror Lake preliminary plat review.
The third standard, FWRC 19.135.251 requires the creation of a street network with block
perimeters not exceeding 2,640 feet. This requirement does not apply if adjacent development is
not conducive to this block pattern. In this case the Applicant would be required to at least
install an east -west road stub to comply with the block perimeter requirement. However,
adjacent development is not conductive to such a connection. The development to the west is
already fully developed without any available area for a stub connection and the lot adjoining the
entirety of the eastern border is similarly fully developed with a church and no available road
connection.
Since Mirror Lake was found to be consistent with all applicable subdivision standards when it
was approved in 2008 and those standards have not materially changed since then, it can be
concluded that the plat still conforms to those standards.
Beyond compliance with City subdivision design and infrastructure standards, the plat alteration
review criteria of FWRC 18.45.050 also requires consistency with RCW 58.17.110. RCW
58.17.110 focuses upon generally requiring that subdivisions be served by adequate
infrastructure. However, it also includes the requirement that "[ajppropriate provisions are
made for the public health, safeo� and general welfare..." The loss of affordable housing units
is relevant to this criterion, i.e. is the loss of two affordable housing units caused by the proposed
plat alteration consistent with public health, safety and welfare? The answer is yes because the
Council has legislatively determined in the whereas clauses to Ordinance No. 20-899 (the CHD
amendments) that there is a need for medium income housing and that development costs have
prevented the development of affordable housing units. Given that the removal of two affordable
housing units will open the opportunity for two needed and more feasible medium income units,
the loss of those affordable housing units can be construed as consistent with public health,
safety and welfare.
RECOMMENDATION
For the reasons identified in the conclusions of law above, it is recommended that the City Council
approve the proposed plat alteration as described in Finding of Fact No. 3 with no conditions.

III HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
i
LiMYi
i
Mil�l�ol� JJ N
Lake A
Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) and zoning designation for the subject property are Single
Family High Density Residential and RS 7.2, respectively. The Mirror Lake Highland Plat is a cottage
housing project as discussed below.
Cottage Housing — In 2006, the Federal Way City Council adopted a cottage housing ordinance, which
authorized cottage housing on a demonstration project basis. FWRC 19.05.030(C), defines cottage
housing development (CHD) as a residential lot development consisting of clusters of between 4 and 16
detached dwelling units that include cottages and may include compact single-family (CSF) units that
meet specific criteria that limit the size of the building, and contain requirements for common open space
and specific architectural design standards. Cottage homes are restricted in square footage but are allowed
at roughly twice the density permitted by the underlying zone, are single-family ownership homes, and
are characterized by home orientation to a shared central open space.
At the time of the CHD review and approval, the FWRC included an affordable housing bonus that
allowed a CHD to exceed the base level of 12 dwelling units up to a total of 16 dwellings, provided one-
half of all dwelling units over the base level of 12 were designated for affordable housing. For the Mirror
Lake Highland Plat, 16-lots were approved, subject to two of the lots being for affordable housing.
Staff Report to Hearing Examiner Page 2 of 4
Mirror Lake Highland Plat Alteration File No. 21-102213-SU / Doc. I.D.81561
Preliminary Plat — The 16-lot Mirror Lake Highland Preliminary Plat was granted approval by the
Federal Way City Council on November 4, 2008, per Resolution 08-535. The 1.85-acre subdivision
includes tracts for storm drainage, lot access, landscaping, and open space/common areas.
Final Plat — The 16-lot final plat of Mirror Lake Highland was approved by the City Council on January 15,
2019, via City Council Resolution 19-748.
Home Construction — A cottage or compact single-family residence has been constructed on each of the
16 lots in the Mirror Lake Highland Plat, except lots 7 and 13 are undeveloped and vacant.
IV STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA)
On July 20, 2021, for the proposed plat alteration, the city issued a SEPA addendum (Exhibit D) to the
original SEPA Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) for the April 16, 2008, preliminary plat application.
V FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The applicant and majority of owners of lots in Mirror Lake Highland Plat have applied to alter the
recorded plat map to eliminate note 5 on sheet 2 of the recorded final plat map. Note 5 states:
"Affordable Housing Lots — Lots 7 and 13 are designated as affordable housing units per City of
Federal Way Cottage Housing Ordinance, Federal Way Revised Code Chapter 19.250, Section
19.250.150. The affordable housing sales covenant, as approved by the City, shall be in force for 15
years from initial occupancy. "
2 FWRC Chapter 18.45 governs the alterations of plats.
3. The Mirror Lake Highland final plat was approved by the City Council on January 15, 2019, via City
Council Resolution 19-748. As required by FWRC 19.250.150, in effect at the time of preliminary
and final plat approval, a note implementing FWRC 19.250.150 requiring affordable housing on lots
7 and 13 was placed on the final plat map.
4. At the time the Mirror Lake Highland preliminary plat application (file 07-106874-SU, November 4,
2008) and the final plat application (18-104198-SU, January 15, 2019) was approved by the City
Council, FWRC 19.250.150 regarding affordable housing bonus was in effect and applicable to the
Mirror Lake Highland Cottage Housing Plat. FWRC 19.250.150 was titled: Affordable housing bonus
in RS zoning classifications. In summary, FWRC 19.250.150 stated in part: In the RS zones, CHD's
that include affordable units may exceed the base level of 12 dwelling units up to a total of 16
dwelling units (assuming adequate overall lot size). One-half of all dwelling units over the base level
of 12 must be affordable (for example, a total offour additional dwelling units may be permitted if
two of these are affordable) " (Exhibit E — Repealed FWRC 19.250.150).
5. City Council Ordinance 20-899 (Exhibit F) approved by the City Council on November 4, 2020,
repealed in entirety FWRC 19.250.150 which contained the affordable housing bonus standard for a
cottage housing development.
6. Following City Council adoption of Ordinance 20-899, an application was submitted to the city to
alter the Mirror Lake Highland Plat, to eliminate the affordable housing requirement on lots 7 and 13
Staff Report to Hearing Examiner Page 3 of 4
Mirror Lake Highland Plat Alteration File No. 21-102213-SU / Doc. I.D.81561
as specified on note 5 sheet 2 of the Mirror Lake Highland recorded plat. Elimination of note 5 on the
final plat, if approved, would allow lots 7 and 13 to be developed and sold without an affordable
housing requirement.
7. The application to eliminate note 5 on sheet 2 of the Mirror Lake Highland final plat is consistent
with current FWRC Ordinance 20-899, which repealed the prior affordable housing bonus in a CHD
formerly codified under FWRC19.250.150. No other portions of the FWRC require affordable
housing for a 16-lot single family plat.
8. Other than eliminating note 5 on sheet 2 of the Mirror Lake Highland Plat map, no other changes or
alterations to the plat are requested or proposed.
9. The plat alteration application is consistent with FWRC 18.45.050(2), as the application does not
affect: the land division design; lot design; open space and recreation; and pedestrian and bicycle
access. All of these above design requirements were reviewed and approved with the final plat
application review and approval by the City Council on January 15, 2019, via Resolution 19-748.
10. The plat alteration application is consistent with FWRC 18.45.050(3), as the application does not
affect: street improvements and dedication of rights -of -way and/or easements; density regulations;
streets and rights -of -way; water; sewer disposal; storm drainage; other utilities; street lighting; and
monuments. All of these above development standards were reviewed and approved with the final
plat application review and approval by the City Council on January 15, 2019, via Resolution 19-748.
VI CONCLUSION
The application to eliminate note 5 on sheet 2 of the Mirror Lake Highland Plat is consistent with the
current FWRC. City Council adoption of Ordinance 20-899 eliminated the prior provision for affordable
housing bonus units in a CHD. The plat alteration application does not impact and is consistent with the
design requirements and development standards in FWRC 18.45.050(2) and (3). City of Federal Way staff
have reviewed the plat alteration application and recommend approval of the Mirror Lake Highland Plat
alteration to eliminate note 5 from sheet 2, as the application complies with current FWRC based on the
findings above.

Re: File No. 18-104198-00-SU Mirror Lake Highland
604 SW 312th Street, Federal way
Dear Mr. Harris:
Per your request for a narrative request for this proposal by the applicant please note the
following.
This plat amendment is being submitted because of a City of Federal Way requirement
that the Mirror Lake Highland (MLH) Cottage Housing Plat be formally amended to reflect
the decision of the City Council on 10/20/2020 that amended the Cottage Housing
Ordinance (CHO) Section 19.250.030 to allow a maximum of 16 units and repealed
Section 19.25.150 pertaining to affordable housing in its entirety.
The Mirror Lake Highland (MLH) plat was preliminarily approved on 11/4/2008. The MLH
final plat was approved on 9/26/2019. On 10/20/2020, at the request of Federal Way's
planning department, the council approved the above -mentioned amendments to the CHO.
Subdivision Note 5, on page 2 of the current MLH plat refers to the now rescinded Section
19.250.150 of the CHO. Absolutely nothing else on the original plat has changed. This
request removes Subdivision Note 5 on page 2 of the plat to bring it into compliance with
the Planning Department's requested amendment.

Bill McCa re

Name of Proposal: Mirror Lake Highland Cottage Housing Plat Alteration
City File: 21-102752-SE (Addendum); 07-106875-SE (DNS)
DNS Issued: April 16, 2008
Description of Proposal: Addendum to the April 16, 2008, above -referenced DNS due to the applicant's
request to alter the recorded plat to eliminate the affordable housing
requirement on Lots 7 and 13.
Applicant: Bill McCaffrey, 253-709-8747, bill@thenexusstudio.com
Location: The proposal pertains to the whole Mirror Lake Highland final plat located

Description of Addendum
This addendum issued per WAC 197-11-625 is required to alter the recorded final plat of Mirror Lake
Highland. The city has received an application to eliminate the note on the Mirror Lake Highland plat map
that requires affordable housing on Lots 7 and 13. All of the plat infrastructure is constructed, and
individual homes have been constructed on all of the lots in Mirror Lake Highland except Lots 7 and 13. No
changes to the environment will occur with this proposed action. The only proposed change is to eliminate
the affordable housing requirement on the plat for the two remaining lots (numbers 7 and 13). The proposed
action to eliminate the affordable housing requirement for Lots 7 and 13 is consistent with the current
Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC). On November 4, 2020, the Federal Way City Council via ordinance
20-899 eliminated the previous requirement in FWRC 19.250.150 titled: affordable housing bonus in RS
zoning classifications.
A DNS was issued on April 16, 2008, for the original preliminary plat proposal and no SEPA mitigation
was required. No appeals were submitted to the city on the original DNS. A SEPA addendum is necessary
for the proposed alteration of the recorded Mirror Lake Highland final plat.
No new or substantially different environmental impacts are anticipated. The proposal will result in two
middle -income housing units rather than two affordable housing units, consistent with current FWRC 19.250.
NOTE: There is no comment period for this addendum per WAC 197-11-625.

and federal law, codify administrative practices, clarify and update zoning regulations as deemed
necessary, and improve the efficiency of the regulations and the development review process;

text of Title 19 FWRC, has complied with Process VI review, Chapter 19.80 FWRC, pursuant to
Chapter 19.35 FWRC; and
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest for the City Council to amend development
regulations in Title 19.250 FWRC and Ordinance 08-580 to encourage middle -income housing
development in the City of Federal Way providing opportunities for single family housing

FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There is no financial impact to the City for this code update. This is a non -project proposal.
BACKGROUND
Community Development is seeking to amend Title 19 of the Federal Way Revised Code. These
proposed code amendments are to allow Light Rail or Commuter Rail Transit Facilities as a
specified permitted use within the Commercial Enterprise (CE) and City Center Core (CC-C)
zones. These facilities are currently allowed in these zones as Essential Public Facilities. This
proposed change would allow the city to apply more specific controls through development
regulations for that use, where currently they are allowed more broadly as essential public
facilities. Specifically, the revised code would require that transit stations provide a minimum
number of parking spaces for users of the facility.
PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENTS
Code Amendment 1— City Center Core — New Land Use Chart
Allow the addition of "Light Rail or Commuter Rail Transit Facility" as a permitted use under a
new code number 19.225.105 Public Transportation Facilities. (See Exhibit 1)
Code Amendment 2 — Commercial Enterprise — New Land Use Chart
Allow the addition of "Light Rail or Commuter Rail Transit Facility" as a permitted use under a
new code number 19.240.135 Public Transportation Facilities. (See Exhibit 1)
Code Amendment 3 — New Definition
Add a new definition to 19.05.120 L definitions to read;
"Light rail or commuter rail transit facility" means a structure or other improvement of a
regional light rail or commuter rail transit system, which includes ventilation structures, traction
power substations, utilities serving the regional transit system, transit stations and related
passenger amenities, bus layover and inter -modal passenger transfer facilities, parking garages,
park and rides, tunnel portals, storage track and support facilities, and transit station access
facilities.
Code Amendment 4 — Text Amendment
Amend the text of 19.105.020 Essential Public Facilities to read:
(1) Generally. The review and siting of essential public facilities shall conform to the following:
(a) Class I facilities shall be reviewed under the zoning provisions found in their respective
zoning districts, as well as the special provisions outlined in subsection (2) of this
section. Review of Class I facilities shall be under process IV, hearing examiner decision.
(b) Class 11 facilities shall be reviewed under the zoning provisions and processes found in
their respective zoning districts, unless they are found to be exempt under the Federal
Fair Housing Act, in which case such exemption does not imply an exemption from
applicable building or structural standards.
IV. SEPA - Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS)
The city's Responsible Official has determined that this non -project proposal does not have a
probable significant adverse impact on the environment, and an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). The required 60-day notice was posted with the
Dept. of Commerce on August 25, 2021. SEPA documentation for this proposal can be found at
littps://docs.eityoffederalwgy.com/web I iiik/browse.aspx?id=805 525 &dbid=O&repo=cityoffedei•alw4y.
V. PUBLIC NOTICE AND PUBLIC COMMENT
The proposed code amendments to development regulations and the text of Title 19 FWRC, is
currently under public review in compliance with Process VI review, Chapter 19.80 FWRC, pursuant to
Chapter 19.35 FWRC.
Notice of DNS was posted in the Federal Way Mirror on Friday August 27, 2021 starting the 14-day
public comment period, which ended on September 10, 2021. The 21-day appeal period ends on
October 1, 2021. Comments were received from Sound Transit on September 10. 2021 (Exhibit 3).
Staff has provided responses to those comments (Exhibit 4)
Public hearing regarding this proposal will be held October 19 at City Council, as allowed in
19.080.190(1) FWRC. Notice will be posted at least 14 days in advance of the hearing date.
VI. DECISIONAL CRITERIA
FWRC 19.80.130 provides criteria for development regulation amendments. The following section
analyzes the compliance of the proposed amendments with the criteria provided by FWRC
19.80.130. The city may amend the text of the FWRC only if it finds that:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan.
Staff Response —The proposed code amendment is consistent with the following goals and policies:
NEG12 Promote land use patterns and transportation systems that minimize air pollution and
greenhouse gas emissions.
TP6.4 The City will continue to cooperate with regional and local transit providers to develop
facilities that make transit a more attractive option.
CCG9 Provide a balanced transportation network that accommodates public transportation,
high occupancy vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, automobiles, and integrated parking.
CCG15 Work with transit providers to develop a detailed HCT plan for the City Center. Identify
facilities, services, and implementation measures needed to make transit a viable and attractive
travel mode. Tailor the plan to meet local needs through rapid transit, express buses, and/or
demand -responsive service.
CCP29 Integrate the high capacity transit system with other transportation modes serving
Federal Way and the region.
CCP33 Encourage public and private parking structures (below or above ground) in lieu of
surface parking. As redevelopment occurs and surface parking becomes increasingly
constrained, consider a public/private partnership to develop structured parking in the
downtown commercial area.
CCP34 Encourage the provision of structured parking.
2. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or welfare.
Staff Response —The proposed code amendments bear a substantial relationship to public
welfare as it will ensure that the parking demand generated by the transit stations do not
adversely impact nearby properties.
3. The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
Staff Response — The proposed code amendments are in the best interest of the city as a whole
because it codifies current city practices, addresses emerging land use issues, and increases
code clarity, simplicity, and efficiency of the development review process.
VII. RECOMMENDATION

Subject: Public Transport Facilities Code Amendment SEPA DNS Comments
(City File No. 21-103530-SE)
Dear Mr. Rogers:
Sound Transit has reviewed the SEPA Determination of Non -Significance (DNS) and
Environmental Checklist for the proposed code amendment to allow public
transportation facilities in the City Center Core (CC-C) and Commercial Enterprise (CE)
zones and associated parking requirements.
As you know, project alternatives for Sound Transit's Tacoma Dome Link Extension
(TDLE) and Operations and Maintenance Facility South (OMF South) are currently
under consideration in their respective Draft Environmental Impact Statements (DEIS)
for each project. Portions of the project alternatives are located in the CC-C and CE
zones. Additionally, while portions of the Federal Way Link Extension (FWLE) under
construction are located in these zones, the project is vested to existing codes for 10
years from the execution of the Development Agreement (City of Federal Way
Ordinance No. 19-869/Sound Transit Board Motion No. M2019-65). As such, the SEPA
DNS and Environmental Checklist has not been reviewed for potential implications for
the FWLE project.
Sound Transit provides the following initial comments for consideration based on our
review of the SEPA DNS and Environmental Checklist materials:
Sound Transit supports the collaborative and proactive effort to streamline
permitting by specifying "light rail or commuter rail transit facility" uses as
permitted uses in the CC-C and CE zones and clarifying what development
standards are applicable to such uses.
■ Would all portions of the TDLE and/or OMF South project in the CC-C and CE
zones be affected by the proposed code amendment?
Would portions of the TDLE and/or OMF South project outside of the CC-C and
CE zones be affected at all by the proposed code amendment?
• The proposed definition of "light rail or commuter rail transit facility" is
comprehensive. To avoid confusion over applicability of the proposed

development standards in the Use Zone Chart, we suggest clarifying that the minimum parking requirements
apply only to those transit facilities open to the public and serving transit patrons.
• On August 5, 2021, the Sound Transit Board of Directors took action to realign the capital expansion
program with a plan that allows the agency to manage the $6.5 billion affordability gap while working to
deliver as much of the plan as soon as possible.
Part of this action was to delay the delivery and opening of Sound Transit parking projects in the region,
including the TDLE South Federal Way Station parking improvements to 2038. The action also included
identifying opportunities to deliver flexible, innovative, and affordable ways for people to access transit
stations. The impacts of deferred parking and associated mitigation measures will be evaluated in the TDLE
DEIS. Is the intent that the standard for minimum 500 parking spaces "generally structured"/maximum 10%
surface parking in the proposed code amendment be met on station opening day of service? if so, this will be
in conflict with the Board of Director's August 5th action and could impede overall timely project delivery.
• The proposed Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) Sections 19.225.105 Note 13 and 19.240.135 Note 13
address the potential for parking reductions from the minimum 500 parking spaces for "light rail..." How
will the proposed code amendment affect, if at all, the processes available for evaluating potential deviations
related to timing (phasing of parking), type of parking (structured vs. surface), and footprint of parking
(variable per circulation needs, TOD integration opportunities, etc.)?
We note that the SEPA Environmental Checklist in most cases states that this amendment is a non -project
action and that specific impacts will be evaluated at the project level. However, there are some exceptions
within some elements (e.g. regarding structure removal and displacement of people), and we wonder if this
is intentional and the reason a distinction is made.
We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the SEPA DNS and Environmental Checklist and look forward to
learning more about the proposed code amendment and to future collaboration on permit streamlining. Sound
Transit staff will follow up with City staff in the near -term to continue our coordination effort.
Sincerely,

Subject: Public Transportation Facilities Code Amendment SEPA DNS Comments
(File No. 21-103530-SE)
Dear Mrs. Kitsis:
Thank you for the comments dated September 10, 2021 provided on the city's SEPA Determination of
Non -Significance (DNS) and the related Environmental Checklist for the proposed code amendments
allowing public transportation facilities in the City Center Core (CC-C) and Commercial Enterprise (CE)
zones. Allow the following to represent responses to those comments.
■ Sound Transit supports the collaborative and proactive effort to streamline permitting by
specifying "light rail or commuter rail transit facility" uses as permitted uses in the CC-C and CE
zones and clarifying what development standards are applicable to such uses.
Response: Noted.
• Would all portions of the TDLE and/or OMF South project in the CC-C and CE zones be affected
by the proposed code amendment?
Response: No, only those facilities that directly serve patrons of the transit system would be
affected. Staff have included clarifying language in the proposed code to address this ambiguity.
• Would portions of the TDLE and/or OMF South project outside of the CC-C and CE zones be
affected at all by the proposed code amendment?
Response: No. These proposed amendments are limited to station areas within the CC-C and CE
zones.
• The proposed definition of "light rail or commuter rail transit facility" is comprehensive. To
avoid confusion over applicability of the proposed development standards in the Use Zone Chart,
we suggest clarifying that the minimum parking requirements apply only to those transit facilities
open to the public and serving transit patrons.
Response: The City agrees with this comment and has included language to clarify the intent that
the new code language apply only to facilities serving transit patrons.
• On August 5, 2021, the Sound Transit Board of Directors took action to realign the capital
expansion program with a plan that allows the agency to manage the $6.5 billion affordability gap
while working to deliver as much of the plan as soon as possible.
Part of this action was to delay the delivery and opening of Sound Transit parking projects in the
region, including the TDLE South Federal Way Station parking improvements to 2038. The
action also included identifying opportunities to deliver flexible, innovative, and affordable ways
for people to access transit stations. The impacts of deferred parking and associated mitigation
measures will be evaluated in the TDLE DEIS. Is the intent that the standard for minimum 500
parking spaces "generally structured"/maximum 10% surface parking in the proposed code
amendment be met on station opening day of service? If so, this will be in conflict with the Board
of Director's August 5th action and could impede overall timely project delivery.
Response: The proposed code language does not identify provisions for phasing. The intent of
the proposed code is that any transit station serving the public have sufficient parking to serve
those patrons upon start of service. There are provisions within the code to allow a proposal for
a reduction in the required amount of parking; or, by providing the equivalent parking through
other means. This is to avoid negative externalities to the surroundingproperties.
The proposed Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) Sections 19.225.105 Note 13 and 19.240.135
Note 13 address the potential for parking reductions from the minimum 500 parking spaces for
"light rail..." How will the proposed code amendment affect, if at all, the processes available for
evaluating potential deviations related to timing (phasing of parking), type of parking (structured
vs. surface), and footprint of parking (variable per circulation needs, TOD integration
opportunities, etc.)?
Response: The timing or phasing, type and footprint of parking, would be evaluated with each
project proposal during the typical city permittingprocess, and/or as more specifically agreed
upon as part of a development agreement.
• We note that the SEPA Environmental Checklist in most cases states that this amendment is a
non -project action and that specific impacts will be evaluated at the project level. However, there
are some exceptions within some elements (e.g. regarding structure removal and displacement of
people), and we wonder if this is intentional and the reason a distinction is made.
We are simply acknowledging the possibility that with any project there may be the need to
remove existing homes or structures, and the possibility of displacing anyone who may reside
there.
I hope you find these responses helpful. If you would like to discuss them further; or, if you have
additional questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Sincerely,
IAAI�

SUBJECT: Draft Housing Action Plan and Community Open House
Financial Impacts:
In 2019 the City of Federal Way received a $100,000 grant from the Washington State
Department of Commerce to prepare this Housing Action Plan (HAP) through E2SHB 1923.
The only cost to the City for the development of the draft Housing Action Plan was the cost of
staff hours.
The Department of Commerce has created a Housing Action Plan Implementation (HAPI) Grant
to facilitate communities' implementation of their HAPs. The Council has authorized the City to
apply for a 2021 HAPI grant and approval of the HAP would be necessary for the city to
compete for this grant opportunity.
Background
On July 12, 2021 the draft Housing Action Plan was presented to the Land Use and
Transportation Committee and was recommended for adoption to the full council.
On July 20, 2021 the draft Housing Action Plan was presented to the full council. Council
expressed concern that the public engagement for this project was conducted entirely virtually
due to the in -person restrictions caused by the pandemic. Staff was directed to conduct an in -
person open house regarding the Housing Action Plan, evaluate and incorporate any public input
as appropriate, and return to council committee for further discussion prior to consideration for
adoption.
Community Oven House
On September 161h city staff hosted a Community Open House event at the Federal Way
Performing Arts and Events Center. The event was from 4:30PM-7:OOPM and approximately 40
community members attended.
The event included informational handouts, large posters with details of each of the proposed
strategies, engaging staff and various activities for the public to provide feedback in person. The
informational materials used at the Community Open House have been uploaded to the project
webpage including fact sheets in English, Spanish, and Korean.

Summary of Feedback Received
At the entrance of the Community Open House, staff prompted attendees to place a dot sticker
on a map of the city. Of the 40 community members that attended, 33 dots were placed on the
map. Of the 33 mapped dots, one was located within an area zoned for mixed -use developments,
three were in an area zoned for multi -family, and 29 were located within single-family zones.
This engagement activity served as a measure for staff to evaluate the outreach efforts and
consider equitable representation while analyzing the feedback received at the event.
Throughout the engagement activities several common themes were identified:
- Aging generations need housing options to downsize to smaller residences with less
maintenance, and improved accessiblility.
- The City should make accessory dwelling units easier and cheaper to be developed.
- Homeownership options are highly desired, especially for multi -family (condos) and
missing middle typologies.
- The Commons Mall should be redeveloped and downtown should be more enjoyable and
safer for pedestrians and bicyclists.
- Housing is too expensive. We need more housing to help with homelessness and rising
cost of living.
- No more low income/section 8 housing/or apartments.
- School impact fees should be lowered and/or change the way payment is collected.
All of the above -mentioned themes echo input previously collected in earlier community
outreach and public participation opportunities that were used to inform the housing objectives
and design of the strategies. As a result, no new strategies suggested or are n e eya ; are
proposed in response to the feedback received at the Community Open House.
The four housing objectives, eight strategies, and various implementing actions outlined in the
HAP were designed to meet the diverse housing needs for all individuals and families across a
spectrum of incomes for the Federal Way community. The results of the Community Open
House further solidify the understanding that not every individual and household will benefit the
same from each strategy, however there is a strategy or strategies within the HAP that will
benefit everyone.

SUBJECT:
Progress Update on Sound Transit Projects in Federal Way
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
None.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Staff will present the monthly progress update on the Sound Transit projects in the City of
Federal Way. Updates for this month include:
Federal Way Link Extension:
• General work on clearing and grading will continue along I-5 along with construction of
supporting walls for the guideway. The wet season for construction started on October
1st. Kiewit has installed additional wheel wash stations at key work locations in an effort
to avoid vehicles tracking mud onto the road and City staff is monitoring their work sites.
■ Utility relocation work by Sound Transit in coordination with Lakehaven is expected to
continue until mid -November. The work is to shift a water, sewer, and storm water line to
make room for a new column along with roadway restoration after the work is complete.
The work will occur at night and shift WB 320th traffic into 1-lane for some of the work
nights.
• Superstructure construction has started at the location of the future Federal Way Transit
Center Light Rail Station. Additional girder deliveries may happen as early as November.
• The west parking garage entrance has closed for construction. They are starting with
some utility relocations and a new detention vault below the driveway off of 21' Ave S.
The garage entrance is expected to be closed through most of 2022 to allow for
construction of the parking garage expansion.
ON F South:
• Sound Transit is expected to release a summary of public comments in November. A
preferred alternative selection is expected by the Sound Transit Board at their December
161h meeting.
Tacoma Dome Link Extension:
• There are no updates since the last LUTC meeting.
