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

D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS
(IT IS NOT NECESSARY to use this sheet for project actions)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the
elements of the environment. When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the
types of activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster
rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, storage,
or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
An increase in discharge and emissions may result from the amendment. These will be analyzed in greater detail
with a future land use application submittal. The proposal would not increase the production, storage, or release of toxic
or hazardous substances. Production of noise would be limited to levels associated with a multi -family neighborhood.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
With future land use applications, the applicant will provide the City a Technical Information Report
demonstrating compliance with the stormwater manual in effect at the time of application. Additional SEPA
review would be required for any future development.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The future development of the project site would not affect threatened or endangered plants, animals,
fish, or marine life.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
Future residential landscaping will provide suburban wildlife habitat.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
The proposal would likely result in an increased need for energy typical of multi -family developments.
Natural resources are not likely to be depleted in association with future developments stemming from
the comprehensive plan amendment.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
Any impacts would be offset by impact fees, levies or taxes required to be paid by the applicant during
the development application process and future residents.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated
(or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic
rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime
farmlands?
There are no mapped environmentally sensitive areas on site. The demand for parks might increase slightly.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
The applicant will reduce any impacts on the park system by either providing the required open
space on site, or request to pay a fee -in -lieu of providing open space.

5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or
encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
The proposal would not affect land and shoreline uses. The adjacent uses are the same or compatible to the
proposed land use designation. The commercial designation west of the site complements future residential
developments.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
None proposed.
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities?
The future development of the site might increase demands on transportation and utilities typical of a multi-
family development.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
Utilities will be coordinated with the appropriate service provider to ensure there is adequate availability and the development
will not overburden the utility. System Development Charges and impact fees will be paid by the applicant to offset any
additional demands the project will have on the systems. Additionally, the applicant will apply for Traffic Concurrency with the
City to address any traffic issues that may exist in the area that would need to be resolved as part of this development.
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements
for the protection of the environment.
The proposed comprehensive plan amendment does not conflict with local, state, or federal laws or
requirements for the protection of the environment, as it would only change the comprehensive plan
designation and zoning. Any future development of the parcel would be reviewed for compliance with
environmental protection requirements by the City of Federal Way staff at the time of application.
