RE: File#16-104295-00-AD; CHANGE OF USE ANALYSIS
Winco Foods District Office, 160 SW Campus Drive,Federal Way
Dear Mr. Berg:
The City is in receipt of your request for a Change of Use Analysis at the above-mentioned property. The
request is to locate a district office within a vacant multi-tenant space.
ZONING COMPLIANCE REVIEW
FWRC 19.15.025 addresses a change of use at a developed site as follows:
19.15.025 Zoning and use review process,for new tenants—Change of use at a developed site.
The purpose of this section is to review and determine compliance with applicable zoning and
development code requirements when a new use is proposed to occupy an existing building or
site. When a land use changes from one use category in the zoning charts to another use
category, a zoning compliance review shall be performed as part of the use process review, when
required, or in conjunction with the required business registration and/or building permit review.
Each paragraph in a zoning chart is a use category. If the new use is in the same use category as
any previous legal use of the site, no zoning compliance review is required.
A new use is proposed to occupy the tenant space in the existing building. The subject property is located
in the Business Community(BC)zone but is governed by a Development/Concomitant Zoning
Agreement. Per the Agreement,the allowable uses on the property are limited to those set forth in the
Neighborhood Business(BN) District Regulations"as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended"
with a few exceptions. Provisions related to height, setback, lot coverage, and other development
regulations must comply with provisions of the BC zone.
The proposed district office for Winco Foods is an allowed use in the BN zone.The previous tenant was a
fast-food restaurant. The two uses are not located within the same zoning chart; therefore, a zoning
compliance review is required as indicated above.
Required parking for retail uses in the BC zone is one space per 300 square feet of gross floor area per
FWRC 19.220.010. This is less than the amount of parking required for the previous use, which was one
space per 80 square feet of gross floor area per FWRC 19.220.020. Therefore, the Change of Use does not

trigger any additional parking requirements. All other relevant standards contained in the two use zone
charts are identical.
Your zoning change of use is considered to be in compliance with the relevant zoning requirements and is
hereby approved.This does not constitute approval of a building permit or change of occupancy. The
City's Building Division is currently reviewing the associated building permit, File#16-104297-00-CO.
No tenant improvement work may begin until the building permit has been issued. You will also need to
obtain a City of Federal Way business license.
If you have any questions regarding this decision, please contact me at 253-835-2641 or
