RE: File#16-104016-00-AD; ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION APPROVAL
Arrows Sign Servicing,34016 9th Ave S, Units D-7 and C-6
Dear Ms. Shook:
The City is in receipt of your request dated August 17, 2016, for a"change of use at a developed
site" in accordance with Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.15.025. The request is to locate
Arrows Sign Servicing on the site located at 34016 9th Ave S, Units D-7 and C-6 (King County
parcel #926480-0110), which is zoned CE (Commercial Enterprise).
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 existing building. Manufacturing and production is a permitted
use per FWRC 19.240.010. The site was previously used by GL Systems, Inc. to fabricate acoustic
panels, which is a permitted use per FWRC 19.240.010. The two uses are not located within the same
zoning chart use category; therefore,a zoning compliance review is required as indicated above.
For GL Systems, Inc., FWRC 19.240.10 required I parking space for each 1,000 square feet of gross
floor area. Required parking for Arrows Sign Servicing is also I space per 1,000 square feet. The site
in question has 20 existing parking spaces for an 18,741 square-foot building, thereby exceeding the
city's parking requirement.
Your 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.
