Re: File#09-101365-00-UP; PROCESS I LAND USE APPROVAL
Goodwill Donation Station; 34520 16"Avenue South,Federal Way
Dear Mr. Potter:
The City has completed Process I Land Use Review and approves the proposed placement of a
Goodwill Donation Station on the Walmart Super Center site located at 34520 16th Avenue South.
The proposed 27 foot mobile trailer is to be attended by a Goodwill Industries employee between
the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to accept donations and maintain the mobile facility. Formal
plans for the proposed donation station were submitted on April 10, 2009. The zoning for the site
is Comrriercial Enterprise(CE). The Process I application is hereby conditionally approved.
FINDINGS
Due to the frequently mobile nature of the proposed accessory use to the Walmart Super Center,
it has been determined that the proposed donation station does not meet the definition of
"Outdoor storage containers"as defined by Federal Way Revised Code(FWRC) 19.05.150, "0
definitions,"and is therefore not governable under FWRC 19.125.180"Regulation of outdoor
storage containers for permanent accessory storage."The accessory outdoor use was reviewed as
an administrative Land Use Process I as prescribed by FWRC 19.125.170, "Commercial and
industrial uses,"as it does not meet the exemptions of FWRC 19.125.170(4). It has been
determined by the Director of Community Development Services that screening' is not necessary
if all materials and donated goods are contained within the mobile trailer. Furthermore, the
mobile donation station must be situated in a visually unobtrusive location of the proposed site
and must be located outside of any drive aisle. As shown on the site plan submitted on April 10,
2009,the mobile donation station has been proposed to be placed in the southwest corner of the
lot. The location fronts an interior roadway and does not front a right-of-way. Due to the location,
it has been deemed that the donation station is not visually intrusive and does not alter the
character of the previously approved developed site.

Tacoma Goodwill Industries 9cndw"'
Request is to locate a Goodwill Attended Donation Station on the Walmart Super Center
Site on 16th Avenue S. The station is a 27' trailer, with professionally prepared graphics,
(see attached flyer) and a set of stairs. The station has an attendant on site 7 days per
week from 8:30 am until approximately 5:00 pm. Part of the attendants duties are to keep
the site neat and orderly as well as greet donors and accept their donations.
No sales occur on site...this is purely a collection site. Goodwill has been very
successful utilizing Attended Donations Stations as it allows donors to easily and
conveniently make their donations...most on a repeat basis. They prefer making smaller
donations...on their schedule...at our sites, making it very easy to donate. Most of our
donors make frequent donations and feel more active in supporting their community.
Our attendants are trained, customer service oriented and are happy to accept donations.
They take pride in their site and it shows! Also the attendant's presence on site enhances
the security aspect for the store and its customers. For all, Goodwill Attended Donations
Station contributes positively to the site where it is located, and the community at large.
