The City of Federal Way's Department of Community Development has received your inquiry for
information relating to a proposed parking lot expansion at Hallmark Manor, which is located at 32300 1"
Avenue South. The proposed parking expansion would be located on the north side of parcel #172104-
9073 in the existing side yard.
PERIMETER LANDSCAPE BUFFER
In accordance with FWRC 19.130.240(3), parking areas and driveways may be located in required side
yards within RM zones. However, pursuant to FWRC 19.125.060(3), twenty (20) feet in width of Type III
landscaping shall be provided along all public rights -of -way. The purpose of Type III landscaping is to
provide partial visual separation of uses from streets and main arterials. Based on the submitted
preliminary drawings, it appears the location of the proposed parking lot expansion would intrude into the
required landscape buffer and thus not meet this code requirement.
Additionally, there are requirements for parking lot landscaping (FWRC 19.125.070) that would need to
be addressed.
If the layout of the proposed parking lot expansion can be re -configured to meet the above -mentioned
requirements, the remainder of this letter outlines the review process for such a proposal. Pursuant to
FWRC 19.15.030(1), any minor improvement, modification, and/or addition to a developed site, such as a
parking lot expansion that is exempt from SEPA, would be reviewed using a Process I land use
application.
Enclosed are the submittal requirements for a Use Process I application. Use Process I applications are
charged a fee of $82 at the time of submittal and $62 an hour for any additional review time. I would
anticipate 2 to 3 hours of review time.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact me at 253-835-2622 or
