Re: File #13-101936-00-UP; PROCESS H `SITE PLAN REVIEW' APPROVAL FILE
Sirius XM — SEA602S; 30833 Pacific Highway South, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Baum:
The Community and Economic Development Department has completed review of your Process II
Master Land Use application. You have proposed to install two new Sirius XM dual -band panel antennas
and one RX high -band dish on an existing monopole. Additional ground equipment will be added to a
new concrete pad within the existing fenced lease area. Your application is hereby approved per the
findings noted below. Be advised, work cannot begin until you receive an electrical permit.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The applicant proposes to add two new Sirius XM panel antennas and one new RX dish on an
existing 150-foot monopole located behind the building at 30933 Pacific Highway South in Federal
Way. The monopole was originally approved by King County, prior to the incorporation of Federal
Way. Associated ground equipment will be added to new concrete pad within an existing lease fenced
area on the above -referenced property.
2. No material change or expansions are proposed to the existing leased equipment enclosure and
therefore, zoning review of such improvements are exempt pursuant to Federal Way Revised Code
(FWRC) 19.255.010(3)(g).
The applicant proposes to locate the Personal Wireless Service Facility (PWSF) on "Existing
broadcast, relay and transmission towers," which is the second priority location of the five prescribed
in FWRC 19.255.010(4). A higher prioritized location ("structures located in the BPA trail") is not
feasible as there are no alternative BPA towers in the proposed vicinity. Staff finds the applicant has
met the burden to utilize the second prioritized location. The antenna proposed should provide the full
benefit of service to the area.
4. No height increase of the existing monopole is proposed with the new PWSF.
5. The city must consider the cumulative visual effects of PWSFs mounted on existing structures in
determining whether additional permits may be granted so as to not adversely affect the visual
character of the city. As shown on the site plan and elevation drawings, the new antennas and
equipment placement are not a substantial increase to the existing site. The PWSF will not adversely
affect the visual character of the city.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The proposed improvements are not exempt from Use Process review as they do not meet criteria set
forth in FWRC 19.255.010(3), "Exceptions."
2. Process II "Site Plan Review" is the appropriate Master Land Use application as the proposal is for a
new PWSF collocated on an existing monopole. Per FWRC 19.220.120, "Personal Wireless Service
Facility," Process H is required when the PWSF is located within 300 feet of a residential zone or
ch 1gftwds a Multi -Family Residential (RM1800) zone to the south, within 300. feet of the
r. subj
Atv
3. The proposed improvements are exempt from State Environmental Policy Act review as the scope of
work meets categorical exemption WAC 197-11-800(25)(ii); PWSFs attached to an existing structure
that is not a residence or school, and located in a commercial zone.
4. The Federal Way Comprehensive Plan and zoning designation for the subject property is Community
Business (BC). Pursuant to FWRC 19.220.120, PWSFs are a permitted use in BC zones.
5. The proposed improvements meet Process II site plan criteria set forth in FWRC 19.60.050 and
FWRC Chapter 19.255, "Personal Wireless Service Facilities."
6. Electrical permit approval is required prior to constructing the improvements. For further information
regarding obtaining an electrical permit from the City of Federal Way, please contact the permit
center at 253-835-2607, or permitcenter@cityoffederalway.com.
APPEALS
The effective date of this decision is May 24, 2013. 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 June 7, 2013. Any appeal must be in the form of a letter
delivered to the department with the established fee. As the applicant is the only person of record, you
may waive your right to appeal in writing to the assigned planner below.

standards relating to this development. This Process II approval does not constitute electrical permit
approval. If you have any questions regarding this decision, please contact Assistant Planner Becky
