RE: PRE 97-0041, PIZZA HUT/NEW TENANT PREAPPLICATION MEETING
28815 - MILITARY ROAD, FEDERAL, WAY, WA
Dear Mr. Hazzard:
Thank you for meeting with the city's Community Development Review Committee (CDRC)
regarding your proposed project. The committee includes representatives from the Lakehaven
Utility and King County Fire Districts and staff from the city's Land Use and Building division
and Public Works Department.
This letter summarizes our pre -application conference on September 4, 1997, at which time
members of the Development Review Committee discussed development requirements as they
apply to the proposal to reopen a restaurant at a site that has been closed for several years.
Where appropriate, pertinent ordinance sections are noted. The items listed below do not
include all regulations applicable to the subject proposal. In preparing your application, all
pertinent portions of the city's land use code must be consulted.
Zoning, Use and Review Process - The zoning of the site is BN (Neighborhood
Business). This zoning district permits restaurant uses pursuant to Federal Way City
Code (FWCC) section 22-722 (enclosed). Restaurant uses requires Process II site plan
approval.
Based on the pending revisions to the Nonconformance chapter, reopening of the
building for a restaurant use can be reviewed as a tenant improvement. However, due
to existing site nonconformances, (see section 4 below), the project would be processed
through Process I. Under Process I, the Director of Community Development makes a
decision based on criteria listed under FWCC section 22-364. A Process I submittal
requirement checklist and master land use application are enclosed along with
applicable code sections. Building permits for the tenant improvement are issued after
process I approval is granted. To take advantage of these new nonconforming
provisions, the application could not be submitted until after the effective date of the
adopted amendments.
2. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) - Among other proposed actions, structures
in excess of 4,000 square feet or the creation of more than 20 parking stalls are subject
to SEPA review. As proposed, the project does not require SEPA review.

3. Fees - The proposal to develop the project requires the following fees (fees are
indicated in parentheses): Process I without SEPA ($1,218.00 includes fire review fee).
Additional fees are associated with other city and district regulations and permits.
Building permits must be obtained before any work commences.
4. Nonconformances - Article IV of the FWCC establishes when and under what
circumstances nonconforming aspects of a use or development must be brought into
conformance. Certain development aspects must be brought into conformance under
certain situations. In this case, the building has been vacant more than 180 days, and
the use has ceased.
The Land Use and Transportation Committee (LUTC) of the Federal Way City Council
Federal Way Planning Commission and City Council will be reviewing proposed code
amendments to these FWCC provisions at their September 15, 1997 meeting. The
LUTC will then make a recommendation on the code revisions to the full City Council.
Adoption of the code revisions is anticipated in mid October to November 1997.
The date of your complete Process I application will determine which nonconforming
provisions apply to your project. As you see below, the proposed code amendments
significantly relax the current requirements. However, please be aware the proposed
code revisions are in draft form and are subject to change by the City Council prior to
adoption.
* CURRENT NONCONFORMING CODE: Under current nonconforming code provisions,
all nonconforming site elements must be brought up to current standards when
reoccupying a site where the use has ceased for over 180 days. The following list
identifies the status of the development on site and the action required to meet the
current non-conformance code provisions:
A. ReQuirQd Parking(FWCC sec. 22-334) - The minimum number of parking stalls
for each use must be provided. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-722, one parking
stall for each 100 square feet of gross floor area is required for restaurant uses
in the BN zoning district. A 2,135 square foot restaurant requires 22 parking
stalls. The plan depicts 40 existing parking stalls, and no further parking is
required.
B. Sign conformance (FWCC sec. 22-335) - One medium profile freestanding sign
would be allowed at this site in accordance with FWCC Section 22-1600. The
existing pole sign is non -conforming and must be removed. A sign permit
application must be submitted for new signage. (See section 5 below).
Roger Hazzard
September 8, 1997
page 3
C. Required buffers (FWCC sec. 22-336) - FWCC sec. 22-1566(e) states that Type
III landscaping five (5) feet in width is required along all property lines.
Existing landscaping must be augmented to include required type III trees,
shrubs and groundcover. Buffer widths on the east and the west side of the site
do not meet the minimum requirements and must be widened accordingly.
Parking adjacent to the right-of-way must be screened from the street in
accordance with FWCC section 22-1567(e).
D. Any other non-conformance (FWCC Section 22-337) - With the structure vacant
in excess of 180 days, nonconforming site elements including but not limited to
height, structural setbacks, landscaping, interior parking lot landscaping,
mechanical equipment screening, garbage and recycling facilities, and
community design guidelines must be brought into conformance. Twenty square
feet of interior parking lot landscaping per parking stall must be provided.
Garbage/recycling facilities must be screened with a solid wood or masonry
fence and landscaping must surround the enclosure. Rooftop mechanical
equipment must be screened. Refer to section 6 below for a discussion of
community design guideline standards.
*PROPOSED NONCONFORMING CODE: The draft amendments propose that when a
structure is vacant for more than one year, nonconforming elements must be brought
into conformance with the conditions approved with the original application (Draft
FWCC section 22-335(5)). This condition applies only if no gross floor area expansion
is proposed, and the alterations, changes or other work other than tenant improvement
and normal maintenance does not exceed 50 percent of the assessed or appraised value
of the site improvements. Therefore, at a minimum, the following site improvements
must be upgraded based on my visual observations of the site:
A. Restoration of sidewWks and curbing: Cracked curbing should be replaced, and
any ramping and striping required under the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) standards must be provided. Sidewalk obstructions, such as overgrown
landscaping, should be removed. The parking stalls on the east side of site
adjacent to the right-of-way should be eliminated to provide for vehicle stacking
and traffic safety. In addition, the Public Works Traffic Division has
recommended that the northern most driveway be closed. (Refer to their
enclosed comments.)
B. Restoration oL=bimeter and parking lot landscaDi= A preliminary landscape
plan prepared by a licensed landscape architect is required as part of process I
submittal. It must depict the following landscape information:
Roger Hazzard
September 8, 1997
page 4
Perimeter landscaping, including trees, shrubs and ground cover must be
installed to the extent it was approved under previous approvals. Existing
vegetation could be utilized and other vegetation installed.
2. Interior parking lot landscaping, including trees, shrubs and ground
cover must be installed to the extent it was approved under previous
approvals. Some of the existing vegetation could be utilized and other
vegetation installed.
3. Facade landscaping is overgrown and should be pruned. Groundcover
has grown over sidewalks and doorways and should be cutback to
provide safe corridors.
C. Maintcnailce Qf Qxisting FWCC Section 22-
949, requires solid waste and recycling storage areas to be included in all new
and expanded commercial developments. Current code standards call for solid
screening of facilities through fencing and vegetative screening. The existing
chainlink fencing is dilapidated and does not meet these standards. At a
minimum, the fencing should be repaired and wood slats installed to bring the
facility into conformance with the standards in effect at the time of original
approval.
5. Signs - FWCC Article XVM and FWCC Section 22-335 regulates signage on the site.
The pole sign must be removed before a process I land use application could be
approved. Please be advised that a sign permit is required before any signs are
modified or installed. A sign application, sign code section and handout is enclosed.
Contact Betty Cruz, Federal Way Code Compliance Officer, at (253) 661-4017 with
questions.
6. Design Guidelines - This project meets the intent of many of the community design
guideline standards of FWCC Article XIX, Community Design Guidelines, as it includes
pedestrian corridors from the building to the right-of-way, building placement adjacent to
the right-of-way and fenestration and facade treatment. Staff recommends that pedestrian
corridors that lead from the building to adjacent parcels be considered, as well as outdoor
dining areas. However, under process I, the project would not be subject to community
design guideline conformance.

From: Trent Ward, Engineering Plans Reviewer H
Subject: Pizza Hut/New Restaurant Pre -application, PRE97-0041
28815 Military Road S.
Date: September 4, 1997
After reviewing the materials submitted and a visit of the proposed site the following
comments and findings address issues that need to be resolved prior to developing the site.
STORMWATER
1. Since there is no increase in impervious surface area proposed, additional storm
drainage quantity control is not required. However, treatment of runoff for enhanced
water quality is required. Pursuant to the City's current policy on implementation of
Federal Way City Code (FWCC) section 22-330 and 22-1196, the storm drainage
system serving the site must conform to current treatment standards for water quality.
Therefore, the existing storm drainage system will need to be retrofitted, unless water
quality is presently provided meeting current standards. All water quality facilities
shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the requirements of the
KCSWDM and the City's amendments.
2. Provide a copy of the approved as -built storm drainage plans for the site with building
permit application.
R-O-W EMPROVEMENTS
1. A cost estimate for the improvements associated with this project should be provided by
the applicant along with an appraisal or current assessment of the existing on -site
building. In the event that the improvements exceed 25 percent of the value of the
existing improvements, off -site street improvements may be required.
2. For traffic related issues, see Traffic Division memorandum.
MISCELLANEOUS
Checklists are available, upon request, to assist in the preparation of plans for various
stages of development.
2. Prior to issuance of any building permit, the construction of the site improvements
must be bonded. Bonding may be in one of three forms, a cash deposit, assignment of
funds in a financial institution, or a bond from a surety. The amount of the bond will
be 120% of the cost of construction to be estimated by the applicant's engineer, using
the bond quantity worksheets available from the Public Works Dept. At the end of
construction and after the City receives payment of inspection fees, as -built mylars, and
the applicant has completed all the inspector's punch list items, the bond will be
reduced to 30 % of the original bond amount. This amount will be retained for a two
year maintenance period. Any defects that show up during the maintenance period will
require correction and subsequent inspection fees shall be paid before the maintenance
portion of the bond will be released.
Note: The above comments are based on current City Codes. Please be informed the City
Council is reviewing the City Code requirements for Water Quality and Right -of -Way
Improvements for revision.
