October 25, 2013
2. Use Application — The proposed improvements will require a Process H Master Land Use
application. Process II is an administrative site plan review conducted by city staff with a final
decision issued by the Director of Community and Economic Development. Initial review comments
are typically provided within 30 to 45 days of a complete application.
3. Environmental Review — As proposed, the project is exempt from review under the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) as the proposal does not exceed flexible thresholds (buildings
larger than 12,000 square feet, parking for 40 or more vehicles).
4. Public Notice and Comment — Process 11 review does not require public notice.
5. Application Fees — Please contact the Permit Center at 253-835-2607 for updated fee schedules for
Process 11 Master Land Use application, concurrency, and building permit.
6. Critical Areas — The subject site is located within a 5-year wellhead protection zone as designated
by Lakehaven Utility District. A Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement — Critical Aquifer
Recharge and Wellhead Protection Areas (enclosed) must be submitted with the formal application.
The Development Review Committee (DRC) will then review the Hazardous Materials Inventory
Statement and assess all potential impacts to the city's groundwater resources to decide whether
hazardous materials will be used, stored, or disposed of in connection with the proposal. Car wash
facilities must also provide documentation of compliance with Department of Ecology standards set
forth in the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) Chapter 173-216.
7. Key Development Regulations — All site improvements must comply with the applicable FWRC
development regulations. The following general regulations apply to the proposal.
(a) Required Setback and Lot Coverage — The required yard for a car wash is 20-foot front, 15-foot
side and rear setbacks. No maximum lot coverage applies; instead the buildable area will be
determined by other site development requirements, i.e., required buffers, parking lot
landscaping, surface water facilities, etc.
• Per FWRC 19.125.160, no improvement or structures may be located in a required yard.
The proposed canopy does not meet any of the exceptions of FWRC 19.125.160(1-10),
and must be removed from the required side yard setback area.
(b) Maximum Building Height— The allowed height for a car wash in the CE zone is 40 feet above
average building elevation.
(c) Parking — Parking requirements from the CE zone charts are 1 space for every 300 sq. ft. of
gross floor area. 14 parking spaces would be required. Please refer to the enclosed parking lot
design criteria for required stall, row, and aisle width, and curb lengths.
The preapplication site plan depicts10 parking stalls. Based on the parking requirements above,
there is an insufficient amount of parking spaces for this site. Pursuant to FWRC 19.130.080, a
decrease in the required number of parking spaces may be permitted if a thorough parking
study documents that fewer parking spaces will be adequate to fully serve the use.
8. Tree and Vegetation Retention — A tree/vegetation retention plan as required under FWRC
19.120.040(2) must be submitted with the Process II application and incorporated into clearing and
13-104727 Doc. I.D.:64297
Mr. Pantier
Page 3
October 25, 2013
grading drawings (F)WRC 19.120.040(1)). The plan must be prepared by a certified arborist or
certified landscape architect and should include applicable information provided in the Clearing,
Grading, and Tree and Vegetation Retention section of the FWRC.
These standards are intended to promote building and planning practices that are consist with natural
topography, soils and vegetative features; preserve and enhance the City's physical and aesthetic
character; and establish and maintain the urban tree canopy and its benefits. The standards require
each development maintains a tree unit density. The minimum tree density in CE zones is 20 tree
units per acre. The subject property's density would be 12 tree units (20 tree units x 0.59 acres =
11.8 units/acre). A tree unit is a value assigned to existing trees retained on the property. The larger
the tree, the greater value it is assigned (e.g. an existing tree measuring between 18 inches to 24
inches qualifies as 2.5 tree units). Required tree density can be composed of retained trees and
replacement plantings per FWRC 19.120.130. (Note: Required landscaping trees may be counted in
tree density.) The tree/vegetation retention plan must clearly show where the 12 tree units are to be
located.
Landscaping —The Process II application must include a preliminary landscape plan, prepared by a
licensed landscape architect, in accordance with the landscape requirements contained in FWRC
Chapter 19.125 "Outdoors, Yards, and Landscaping. " Following are the key landscape requirements
for the project.
(a) Perimeter Landscape Buffers — FWRC 19.125.060(9), CE, requires Type III perimeter
landscaping a minimum of five feet in width along all property lines. A preliminary landscape
plan must depict these requirements. Type HI landscaping consists of a mixture of evergreen
and deciduous trees, large shrubs a minimum of 24 inches in height at the time of planting, and
groundcover; spaced to provide a visual buffer creating a partial visual separation.
(b) Interior Parking Lot Landscaping— Twenty square feet of interior lot landscaping per parking
space must be provided in accordance with FWRC 19.125.070. Parking lot landscaping is to
break up large areas of impervious surfaces, mitigate adverse impacts created by vehicle use
areas, facilitate the movement of traffic, and improve the physical appearance of vehicle use
areas.
The square footage of interior lot landscaping must be listed on the landscape plan, and the
interior landscape areas used for this calculation must be identified on the plan.
10. Community Design Guidelines —Projects subject to Process II review must comply with the
provisions of FWRC Chapter 19.115, "Community Design Guidelines". A written narrative provided
in conjunction with the formal Process 1I application must identify how the proposal complies with
the applicable design guidelines, as outlined in the FWRC and as summarized below.
a. Building Facade Modulation and Screening Options — As the west and east building facades
are longer than 60 feet and visible from rights -of -way, the west and east facades are required to
incorporate at least two of the four listed treatments:
Fagade Modulation — A minimum depth of two feet, minimum width of six feet, and
maximum width of 60 feet. Alternative methods to shape a building such as angled or
curved fagade elements, offset planes, wing walls, and terracing will be considered,
provided that the intent of the section is met.
13-104727 Doc. LD :64297
Mr. Pantier

October 25, 2013
+ Landscape Screening — Eight -foot -wide Type II landscape screening along the base of the
facade, except Type IV may be used in place of Type H for facades that are comprised of
50 percent or more window area, and around building entrances.
• Canopy or Arcade — Minimum length is 50 percent of the length of the facade using this
option. Canopy must extend a minimum of six feet outward from the building with at least
10 feet of clearance as shown below.
+ Pedestrian Plaza — Plaza square footage is equal to one percent of the gross floor area of
the building, but it must be a minimum of 200 square feet. If this treatment is chosen, the
plaza should be clearly visible and accessible from South 348" Street.
The above -referenced "two of four" options shall be incorporated along the entire length of the
fagade, in any approved combination. Options used must meet the dimensional standards as
specified above, but if more than two are used, dimensional requirements for each option may
be modified.
b. Drive -through — The following standards apply to drive -through facilities:
■ Drive -through windows and stacking lanes are not encouraged along facades of buildings
that face a right-of-way. If they are permitted in such a location, then they shall be visually
screened from the street by Type III landscaping and/or architectural element.
• The stacking lane shall be physically separated from the parking lot, sidewalk, and
pedestrian areas by Type III landscaping and/or architectural element, or combination
thereof; provided, such elements reflect the primary building and provide appropriate
separation. Painted lanes are not sufficient.
• Drive -through speakers shall not be audible off -site; and
• A bypass/escape lane is recommended for all drive -through facilities.
c. Entrance Facades — Entrance facades shall front on, face, or be clearly recognizable from the
right-of-way, and shall incorporate windows and other methods of articulation. Building
entrances shall be architecturally emphasized and shall incorporate transparent glass.
d. Pedestrian Circulation — Pedestrian pathways and pedestrian areas should be delineated by
separate paved routes using a variation in paved texture and color. Approved methods of
delineation include: stone, brick or granite pavers; exposed aggregate; or stamped and colored
concrete. The existing paint striping on asphalt as a method of delineation is not acceptable and
must be changed to meet the above -mentioned pathway requirements.
e. Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) — Implementation of CPTED
principles (Natural Surveillance, Access Control, and Ownership) for all new development
projects are a component of the city's design guidelines. The enclosed CPTED checklist must
be submitted with the formal land use application.
11. Garbage/Recycling — The design of the enclosure area should be consistent with the architectural
design of the primary structures on the site. The enclosure shall be screened from abutting properties
by a 100 percent sight -obscuring fence or wall and appropriate landscape screen. The minimum size
for the garbage and recycling storage area shall be 65 square feet. Please refer to FWRC 19.125.150
for additional requirements.

Land Use Issues — Stormwater
1. Surface water runoff control and water quality treatment will be required per the 2009 King County
Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the 2009
KCSWDM. This project meets the requirements for a Full Drainage Review. At the time of land use
site plan submittal, a preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR), addressing the relevance of
the project to the eight core and five special requirements of the KCSWDM will be required. A
Level 1 downstream analysis shall also be provided in the preliminary TIR. The City has 1" = 100',
five-foot contour planimetric maps that may be used for basin analysis.
2. The project lies within a Conservation flow control area, thus the applicant must design the flow
control facility to meet this performance criteria. The project also lies within an Enhanced Basic
water Quality Area. Water Quality Treatment shall be designed to meet the treatment criteria of the
Enhanced Basic Water Quality Menu.
3. Best Management Practices (BMP's) are required, per the 2009 KCSWDM. Recycling of storm
water roof runoff (rainwater harvesting) is an allowed BMP, and would be allowed for this project.
4. Detention and water quality facilities for private commercial developments outside the City Center
Core Zone must be above ground (i.e. open pond). Underground facilities are allowed only with
approval from the City of Federal Way Stormwater Management Division.
5. Show the proposed location and dimensions of the detention and water quality facilities on the
preliminary plans.
6. If more than one acre will be disturbed during construction, a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit may be required. Information regarding this permit can be
obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology at
http:l/www ecv.wa.gov/pro ar�pac/index.html, or by calling 360-407-6437.
Right -of -Way Improvements
1. See the Traffic Division comments from Erik Preston, Senior Traffic Engineer, for traffic related
items.
2. Based on available records and the submitted materials, it appears that this proposal meets the 25
percent threshold criteria for requiring street frontage improvements as identified in FWRC
19.135.030. The applicant/owner may submit an MAI appraisal for the subject property, or King
County Assessor's records may be used. Development Services Division will evaluate this data to
determine if the project actually meets the City's 25 percent threshold for requiring street frontage
improvements.
3. If dedication of additional right-of-way is required to install street frontage improvements, the
dedication shall be conveyed to the City through a statutory warranty deed. The dedicated area must
have clear title prior to recording.
13-104727 Doc. LD.:64297
Mr. Pantier

October 25, 2013
4. All stormwater treatment and detention requirements outlined above will be applied to new
impervious area within the public right-of-way.
Building Permit Issues
I. Engineered plans are required for clearing, grading, road construction, and utility work. Plans must
be reviewed and approved by the City. Engineering review fees are $844.50 for the first 12 hours of
review, and $68.50 per hour for additional review time. A final TIR shall be prepared for the project
and submitted with the engineering plans. Both the TIR and the plans will require the signature/seal
of a professional engineer registered/licensed in the State of Washington.
2. The Federal Way Development Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings, standard
notes, and engineering checklists) is available on the City's website at www.cityoffederalway.cym to
assist the applicant's engineer in preparing the plans and TIR.
3. Bonding is required for all street and storm drainage improvements, and temporary erosion and
sediment control measures associated with the project. The bond amount shall be 120 percent of the
estimated costs of the improvements. An administrative fee deposit will need to accompany the bond
to cover any possible legal fees in the event the bond must be called. Upon completion of the
installation of the improvements, and final approval of the Public Works Inspector, the bond will be
reduced to 30 percent of the original amount and held for a two-year maintenance period.
4. The developer will be responsible for the maintenance of all bonded items during the two-year
maintenance period. During that time, the Public Works Inspector will make periodic visits to the
site to ensure the developer's compliance with the maintenance requirements. Upon satisfactory
completion of the two-year maintenance period, the remainder of the bond will be released.
Maintenance for public roads and subdivision drainage facilities then become the responsibility of
the City. Maintenance for private roads and drainage facilities, including short plats, remain the
responsibility of the individual property owners.
5. When topographic survey information is shown on the plans, the vertical datum block shall include
the phrase "DATUM: N.G.V.D.-29" or "DATUM: K.C.A.S.," on all sheets where vertical elevations
are called out.
6. Drawings submitted for plan review shall be printed on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" paper. All final
approved drawings shall be drafted/plotted on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" mylar sheet with permanent
black ink. Site plans shall be drawn at a scale of 1" = 20', or larger. Architectural scales are not
permitted on engineering plans.
7. Provide cut and fill quantities on the clearing and grading plan. Erosion control measures, per
Appendix D, 2009 KCSWDM, must be shown on the engineering plans.
8. The site plan shall show the location of any existing and proposed utilities in the areas affected by
construction.

Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90)
Based on the submitted materials for a "I -stall" automated car wash with 3,800 square feet of gross
floor area, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation - 8t' Edition, land use
code 948 (Automated Car Wash), the proposed project is estimated to generate approximately 58
new weekday PM peak hour trips. Alternatively, the applicant may submit a site specific trip
generation study for the proposed development.
2. The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is $3,374.50 (51 — 500 Trips). This fee is
an estimate and based on the materials submitted for the preapplication meeting. The concurrency
applicant fee must be paid in full at the time the concurrency permit application is submitted with
land use application. The applicant has the option of having an independent traffic engineer prepare
the concurrency analysis consistent with City procedures; however, the fee remains the same.
Transportation Impact Fees (TIF) (FWRC 19.91)
Automated Car Wash - Based on the submitted materials for a 1-stall automated car wash, the estimated
traffic impact fee is $83,176.36. Please note the actual impact fee will be calculated based on the fee
schedule in effect at the time a building permit application is filed and must be paid prior to permit
issuance.
Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135)
The applicant/owner would be expected to construct street improvements consistent with the neighboring
property to the east. Extend the sidewalk west across the proposed driveway and connect to the existing
sidewalk along South 348`" Street.
Access Management (FWRC 19.135)
1. Please show all neighboring driveways within 150 feet of the proposed driveway(s).
2. Provide a continuous pedestrian connection from South 348t' Street to the site office.
3. Submit an intersection sight distance analysis for the design vehicle used at the proposed northwest
secondary access point to the private access road. The analysis shall be conducted in accordance to
the latest AASHTO guidelines. The analysis must bear the seal of a licensed engineer in the state of
Washington. The sight distance triangle shall be depicted on the plan set. Modifications to the
driveway location or landscaping may be necessary.

Solid Waste & Recycling Design Considerations
Solid waste and recycling design considerations include:
13-104727 Doc. I.D.:64297
Mr. Pantier
Page 8
October 25, 2013
■ Adequate space allocation for interior and exterior garbage, recycling, food waste, waste oil, yard
debris, hazardous waste, or biohazard collection containers. Minimum recycling space allocation is
established by FWRC 19.125.150.
• For basic solid waste and recycling needs within a single enclosure, clear interior dimensions
measuring 10' deep by 20' across are recommended, along with a two -door swing -open or roll -open
gate that spans the front width of the enclosure. When gate doors are opened, no structure or
hardware should remain above grade across the enclosure opening. Gate pins/holes are preferred for
holding gates in closed and open positions to ease service access and maximize the life of gate
hardware.
• Sites may require a larger enclosure, or multiple enclosures, to accommodate on -site user access
and/or additional waste types and containers.
• Plan for user access to interior waste and recycling storage areas/containers, and to exterior
containers screened by enclosure(s).
• Plan for unobstructed, safe enclosure ingress and egress for service vehicles, directly in line with
enclosure openings. Allow appropriate turning radii for service vehicles, and minimize potential
`blind spots' during ingress and egress.
• Consider landscaping, setbacks and screening requirements [based on FWRC Section 19.125.040 (4)
& (5)].
Help with many design parameters related to service access is available via the City's contracted solid
waste services provider, Waste Management. Contact: John Davis — Senior Route Manager at 206-786-
