It has been determined that the proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. As a result, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required to comply with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). A copy of the Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) is enclosed. The Optional DNS Process was used to review this proposal. The 14-day comment period required by the SEPA rules ran concurrently with the public comment period associated with the notice of land use application, which began on June 16, 2017, and ended July 1, 2017. The city received no comment letters regarding the combined Notice of Application and Optional DNS. Pursuant to Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11-355, a second comment period is not required upon issuance of the DNS. The enclosed DNS was issued on February 22, 2018. The city will provide a copy of the signed DNS to the Department of Ecology, state and local agencies with jurisdiction, Puyallup and Muckleshoot tribes, and anyone requesting a copy. All final determinations may be appealed within 21 days following the issuance of the DNS. No licenses, permits, or approvals will be issued until completion of the appeal period, which ends March 13, 2018. Our decision not to require an EIS does not mean that the license, permit, or approval you are seeking from the city has been granted. Approval or denial of the proposal will be made by the appropriate administrative or legislative body vested with that authority. After a final decision has been made on your proposal (i.e., after a permit has been issued), you may, but are not required to, publish a Notice of Action as set forth in RCW 43.21 C.075. The Notice of Action sets forth a time period after which no legal challenges regarding the proposal's compliance with SEPA can be made. A copy of the Notice of Action form and copies of RCW 43.21C.080 and WAC 197-11-680 providing instructions for giving this notice are available from the Department of Community Development.

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 adjust 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.

I SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHEC IST 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 adjust 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.

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 adjust 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.

The proposal does not lie within a 100-year floodplain. 6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. There will be no discharges of waste materials to surface waters. b. Ground Water: 1) Will groundwater be withdrawn from a well for drinking water or other purposes? If so, give a general description of the well, proposed uses and approximate quantities withdrawn from the well. Will water be discharged to groundwater? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. No ground water will be withdrawn. No water will be discharged to groundwater. 2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals... ; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. The project does not create any waste materials other than what is discharged directly into the sanitary sewer system. c. Water runoff (including stormwater): 1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. Stormwater runoff from all proposed hard surfaces (roofs and pavements) will be collected and tightlined to an underground detention system to reduce the peak flows from the project site. Prior to discharge, stormwater will be treated to meet current federal way water quality standards. After treatment, stormwater will be dispersed to the major stream identified onsite to maintain the existing drainage patterns of the project site. 2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. With the correct BMPs in place, there is minimal potential for waste from equipment storage and use, eroding soil, or other wastes generated during construction activities to enter either ground or surface waters. However, common pollutants from parked vehicles may collect on impervious surfaces and be washed into the storm drainage system. Common pesticides and nutrients from landscaping areas may also enter the storm drainage system. 3) Does the proposal alter or otherwise affect drainage patterns in the vicinity of the site? If so, describe. No. d.Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water, and drainage pattern impacts, if any: All required storm water will be collected and treated as necessary to provide for a clean approved release. Storm water quality mitigation efforts have been designed using the appropriate BMP's (Stromfilter,TM catch basins) for water quality treatment. Temporary BMP's during construction may include silt fences and other BMP's may be employed. Bulletin #050 - October 17, 2016 Page 5 of 15 k:\Handouts\Environmental Checklist CITY OF Federal Way 4.

The total site is 2.59 acres. The site is currently undeveloped, but being utilized as a used car lot. No existing trees will be retained on this site within the construction boundary. The total tree unit credits proposed will exceed the total tree units required. The project is to construct two, three-story self-service storage buildings. The building that fronts Pacific Highway will house the facilities' ground floor leasing office and three stories of storage spaces while the second storage building will be solely storage. The building will be constructed with light gauge metal framing with a combination of charcoal grey and light grey corrugated and Mini "V" metal siding panels over continuous insulated walls. The roofs will be metal backed enamel finish corrugated panels. Both metal siding and roofing will be AEP SPAN. The strategically placed, natural gray CMU split face block veneer on lower facade areas will assure the building's protection from vehicles. Building fenestrations will consist of canary yellow roll -up steel doors and window curtain walls to add an element of openness and visual quality at selected elevations of the three story fagade. Window frames will be anodized mill finished aluminum with annulated insulated glass. Perimeter security fencing will be black vinyl coated chain link and painted poles and rails in other locations, complimented with decorative black iron in prominent areas. There will be acoustic swing gates for ingress and egress provided with Knox -Boxes for emergency personnel. Landscaping will be designed by a registered Washington State Landscape Architect to meet the intent and requirements of the Federal Way code. Site lighting will be provided with building mounted fixtures along interior drive lanes. There are also two existing ROW street lighting along the sidewalk at the northwest and southwest property corners. A screened garbage and recycling enclosure is constructed as part of the building with CMU veneer, reflective of building materials is provided. Additionally, an accessible path is provided from the public right-of-way to the storage leasing offices. Pursuant to Chapter 19.115 Community Design Guidelines, the project is designed and detailed to enhance the general appearance of the development while being mindful of the cost for the Owner's to efficiently operate the facility and benefit the clients served and the community. The structures are designed with modulation and material changes strategically placed to achieve the most appeal. Colors are selected to provide artistic contrast and to provide a vibrant harmony throughout the project. The office/retail sales area is oriented toward the public right- of-way with the display windows. The project is low in vehicular trip generation and adequate and limited customer parking is located along the east face of the building. 16 C17Y OF Fit &o , l�, STAR LAKE LA FH, PROJECT ?0 LOCATION Owul-j-3 MORN, rk VICINITY MAP SCALEI NONE mOODmOHU RECEIVED MAY 16 2017 Fr:'D PM GOPMUNO rTFyDS&Wjy EIV7 `�1 ►I CN C7 fD Gl C S S QQ O N N S n r+ C r+ v (D I?
