RE: File #16-101840-00-UP; PROCESS I `DIRECTOR'S APPROVAL'
South King Fire & Rescue - Training Prop Structure, 1405 SW 312"' Street, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Pennington:
The Community Development Department has received your April 14, 2016, Process I Master Land Use
(MLU) application to install a multi -use training prop to replace the deteriorated existing prop located at
South King Fire and Rescue Station 68 at the above -referenced address. The Process I application is
hereby approved based on conclusions and findings below.
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 Process I approval criteria and land use review
thresholds of Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.15.030 and 19.55.020:
l . 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; and FWRC
Zone Use Chart 19.200.150, government facilities in the RS 7.2 zone.
2. The health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the city are preserved.
3. The proposal is a minor improvement, modification, or addition to a site that is exempt from State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review.
FINDINGS
The zoning for the site is Single Family Residential (RS 7.2). The existing fire station is a permitted use
within the RS zone pursuant to FWRC 19.200.150. The proposed training prop is considered a minor
improvement to the existing site, and therefore reviewed as an administrative land use process pursuant to
FWRC Chapter 19.55, `Process I — Director's Approval.'
According to submitted materials, the applicant proposes to build a training prop utilizing two 40-foot
long shipping containers with a roof structure over, including a parapet wall and pitched roof. The height
of the structure will be 13 feet. The roof will extend over a covered storage area and the shipping
containers will be used for dry storage of materials. The prop will be utilized in training activities and
rebuilt after use.

The proposed improvement does not exceed allowable building height, requires no additional parking,
does not reduce the amount of required landscaping, buffering, or screening, and does not change
pedestrian connections or easements. The structure meets all of the minimum setback requirements.
APPEALS
The effective date of this decision is May 9, 2016, or three days from the date of this letter. Pursuant to
FWRC 19.55.150, any person who received notice of the administrative decision may appeal this decision
to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner by May 24, 2016, (14 days after effective date). Any appeal must
be in the form of a letter delivered to the Department of Community Development with the established
fee. The appeal letter must contain a clear reference to the matter being appealed and a statement of the
alleged errors in the Director's decision, including the identification of specific findings and conclusions
made by the Director disputed by the person filing.
In that you are the only party of record, your appeal period is waived (assuming you do not wish to appeal
this decision). Waiver of the right to appeal does not affect the effective date of this decision.
CLOSING
This land use decision does not waive compliance with future City of Federal Way codes, policies, and
standards relating to this development. If you have any questions regarding this decision, please contact
Becky Chapin, Associate Planner, at 253-835-2641, or becky.chapin@cityoffede►-alway.com.
