RE: File #12-100299-00-UP; PROCESS I `DIRECTOR'S APPROVAL'
Hometown Plaza, 33320 Pacific Hwy South, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Park:
The Community and Economic Development Department has received your Process I Master Land Use
(MLU) application to expand the breezeway connection between the existing front and rear parking lots.
The Process I MLU application is hereby approved pursuant to conclusions based on findings made by
the department's Planning Division. Please note - this approval is limited to the design review of the
addition and does not constitute building permit approval that is required prior to construction.
CONCLUSIONS
Various sections of the Zoning and Development Code indicate that certain developments, activities, or
uses are permitted only if approved using Process I — Director's Approval. Based on the findings below,
the proposed improvements to the developed site meet the following Process I approval criteria and land
use review thresholds of Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.15.030 and 19.55.020:
1. The proposed improvements are consistent with applicable chapters of FWRC Title 19 including, but
not limited to: Permits and Review Processes; Process I — Director's Approval; Community Design
Guidelines; and Community Business (BC).
2. The health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the city are preserved;
3. There is no change of use;
4. There is no reduction in the amount of required landscaping, buffering, open space, or public areas;
5. There is no material change or reduction in the amount of required parking;
6. There is no material change in the location of utilities, easements, or pedestrian connections;
7. There is no material change to the approved architectural design; and
8. There are no additional adverse impacts to sensitive areas or significant trees.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Proposal — The applicant submitted a Process I MLU application on January 24, 2012, proposing to
expand the existing breezeway by 7'3" to improve passage from the front parking lot and buildings
to the rear parking lot. The northern side of the existing tenant space will be demolished and
replaced with hardy board siding to match the existing wall finish. The dimension of the new
breezeway passage will be 14' 6". No changes will be made to the existing parking stalls, walkways,
or roof.
2. Comprehensive Plan & Zoning Designation - The zoning and comprehensive plan designation for
the subject property is Community Business (BC) zoning district.

3. Community Design Guidelines Compliance — The expansion does not change the architectural
character of the existing buildings on site. The expansion of the breezeway will create better
pedestrian access to the rear parking lot by widening the passage area.
4. Environmental Review — The proposed expansion of existing breezeway is categorically exempt
from an environmental threshold determination pursuant to State Environmental Policy Act Rules
197-11-800(3).
BUILDING PERMIT ISSUANCE REQUIRED
The department's Building Division is currently reviewing the building permit (File #12-100300-00-CO)
associated with the expansion of the existing breezeway. No work may begin until the building permit is
issued. Please contact a Development Specialist at 253-835-2607 if you have any questions regarding the
building permit.
APPEALS
The effective date of this decision is February 16, 2012. Pursuant to FWRC 19.55.050, any person who
commented on the application or requests a copy of this administrative decision may appeal the decision
to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner by March 1, 2012. Any appeal must be in the form of a letter
delivered to the Department of Community and Economic Development with the established fee.
However, as you are the only party of record, you may waive your right to appeal this decision. If you
wish to waive your right to appeal, you must do so in writing to the Department of Community and
Economic Development. No work on the proposal may begin until the end of the appeal period or
February 16, 2012, provided you have requested waiver of the appeal period.
CLOSING
This land use decision does not waive compliance with future City of Federal Way codes, policies, and
standards relating to this development. This Process I approval does not constitute approval of a building
permit. If you have any questions regarding this decision, please contact Becky Chapin, Assistant Planner,
at 253-835-2641, or rebecca.chapin@cityoffederalway.com.

Isaac Conlen
