Re: File No: 03-100175-00-UP; PROCESS I APPROVAL
Swanson Garage Conversions,28630 and 28632 25`hPlace South
Dear Mr. Swanson:
The City has completed an administrative review of your proposal to convert two existing garages to
living space at 28630 and 28632 25th Place South in Federal Way.The Process I application is hereby
approved based on the enclosed Findings for Site Plan Approval.
This decision shall not waive compliance with future City of Federal Way code,policies, and standards
relating to this site. The effective date of this decision is February 7,2003.Pursuant to Federal Way City
Code(FWCC) Section 22-356, any person who received notice of the administrative decision may appeal
this decision to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner by February 21,2003.Please be aware that no work
on the proposal can commence until the end of the appeal period. However, in that you are the only party
of record,you may waive your right to appeal this decision. The City must receive this waiver in writing.
Waiver of the right to appeal does not effect the effective date of this decision.Therefore, if you choose to
waive your right to appeal,you could begin work on the proposal on February 7,2003,provided you
have obtained the necessary building permits.
An hourly Process I application fee of$172.50 is now due(three hours at$57.50 per hour). However,the
$57.50 deposit paid at the time of application covers a portion of this fee. Therefore, a balance of$115 is
due and must be paid before obtaining a building permit.
Should you have any questions about this letter,please call Deb Barker,Associate Planner at 253-661-4103.
Sincerely,

Findings For Site Plan Approval
Swanson Garage Conversions
File No: 03-100175-00-UP
1. The applicant proposes to convert two existing attached garages into living space consisting
of two bedrooms and a family room for two duplex units located at 28630 and 28632 25th
Place South, in Federal Way.' Zoning for the subject property is Multifamily Residential
(RM 3600). This zoning district permits attached dwelling units pursuant to Federal Way
City Code(FWCC)Section 22-667. This proposal is subject to Process I,Director's
Approval,as it does not meet the land use process exemptions under FWCC Section 22-32.
2. The proposed conversions are exempt from SEPA review pursuant to Washington
Administrative Code(WAC) 197-11-800,"Categorical Exemptions,"as the proposed action
involves fewer than four residential units.
3. The proposal has been reviewed for consistency with all applicable zoning regulations
including,FWCC Chapter 22,Article IV, "Nonconformance,"FWCC Chapter 22,Article
XVII,"Landscaping,"and FWCC Chapter 22,Article XIX, "Community Design
Guidelines."
4. Nonconforming development standards have been identified at the subject site.2 Under
FWCC Section 22-334(6), nonconforming development standards must be corrected if a
multi-tenant building adds more than 50 percent of value in any one calendar year. The
existing value of the duplex unit is$133,000, according to the King County Assessor's
Records. The applicant proposes to add$20,000 value to the units with the conversions.
Therefore, as the applicant will add less than 50 percent value to the units with this proposal,
nonconforming development standards are not be required to be brought up to current code
standards.
5. Community Design Guidelines for residential dwelling units encourage the use of windows
in all facades, pedestrian walkways between the dwelling unit and the street, and
landscaping between the dwelling unit and the street. Crime Prevention through
Environmental Design(CPTED)principles of Natural Surveillance,Access Control, and
Ownership are used with design guidelines to identify and incorporate design features that
reduce opportunities for criminal activity. The existing duplex units do not have any
windows that face the street,nor are any street facing windows proposed with the garage
conversion.Also,existing pedestrian walkways from the dwelling unit to the street are via
I The proposed conversion will create four-bedroom two-bath units at the duplex.
2 The duplex is set back 19 feet from the property line,while the minimum front yard setback is 20 feet pursuant to FWCC
Section 22-667.Existing site improvements appear to exceed 60 percent lot coverage maximum.
the driveway. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1632, applications for remodeling of existing
developments shall meet only those provisions of the design guideline article that are
reasonably related to the area of remodel. In this case,the area of remodel involves only
garages containing street-facing facades. Staff strongly recommends that windows be
included on the west street-facing facades to the extent possible to conform to design
guidelines and CPTED principles. Pedestrian connections and landscaping between the
building and the street,while not reasonably related to the area of remodel, are also
recommended.
6. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-395(b), and the forgoing findings,the proposal is found to be
consistent with the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan; all applicable provisions of the
FWCC; and with the public health, safety,and welfare, provided that_the stated condition of
approval is met.
7. A building permit application under File#03-100225-00-SF is under review.
Final construction drawings will be reviewed for compliance with specific regulations, conditions of
approval,and other applicable City requirements. These findings shall not waive compliance with future
City of Federal Way codes,policies, and standards relating to this development.
