05-100823CITY of t Federal Way May 2, 2005 Mr. Ted Rodriguez Toreros Mexican Restaurant 1900 South Commons Blvd, Suite A Federal Way, WA 98003 Re: File No: 05-100823-000-00-UP; USE PROCESS I APPROVAL Toreros Mexican Restaurant Patio Dear Mr. Rodriguez: CITY HALL FILL 33325 8th Avenue South • PO Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98063-9718 (253) 835-7000 www. cityoffederal wa y. com The City has completed an administrative review of the proposal submitted on February 22, 2005, and revisions submitted on March 16, April 11, April 13, and April 29, 2005, to locate a 700 square -foot outdoor patio on the northern portion of the Toreros Restaurant at The Commons at Federal Way Mall. Zoning for the subject site is City Center — Core (CC-C). Restaurant uses are permitted in the CC-C zone pursuant to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22-793. The Process I application for the patio is hereby approved. The patio will be in use for more than two months out of the calendar year, and pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1111 Outdoor use, activity or storage, will constitute an increase in the gross floor area of the Toreros restaurant. The increase in gross floor area requires additional parking capacity dedicated to the patio use pursuant to FWCC Section 22-793.' However, the applicant submitted a Parking Analysis prepared by Heath and Associates, Inc., dated April 8, 2005. The report stated that the patio will be used to augment the dining experience without effectively increasing capacity in the restaurant, and demonstrated that there are adequate parking stalls provided at the mall site to accommodate the added square footage of the patio use. The report based its findings on the Institute of Traffic Engineers Manuel (ITE) Third Edition, which identifies that the highest requirement for parking at shopping centers occurs during the Christmas season. During that season, the Traffic Engineer noted that the outdoor patio at Toreros would not be in use. As provided for in FWCC Section 22- 1377 (c)(4)2 and in FWCC Section 22-1398(2)3, a decrease in the number of parking spaces under FWCC Section 22-1377 may be permitted if a thorough parking study documents that fewer parking spaces will be adequate to fully serve the uses. The applicant has satisfactorily addressed the criteria; an increase in parking stalls is not required for the new 700 square - foot patio. 1 One parking stall for each 100 square feet of gross floor area is required for a restaurant use in the CC-C zoning district. 2 Number of Parking Spaces - Exceptions 3 Criteria to grant decrease in parking spaces Mr. Rodrigues May 2, 2005 Page 2 Construction permits for the patio under file 05-101711-CO are under review. A landscape plan is required to be approved for the construction permit. This decision,shall not waive compliance with future City of Federal Way codes, policies, and standards relating to this site. The effective date of this decision is May 5, 2005. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22- 356, any person who received notice of the administrative decision may appeal this decision to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner by May 19, 2005. Please be aware that no work on the proposal can commence until the end of the appeal period. However, in that you are the only party of record, you may waive your right to appeal this decision. The City has received this waiver in writing. Waiver of the right to appeal does not affect the effective date of this decision. As you have opted to waive your right to appeal, you could begin work on the proposal on May 5, 2005, providing that building permits were issued. The total hourly Process I application fee is $160.00 (two and one half hours at $64.00 per hour). The $64.00 deposit paid at the time of application partially covers this fee; an additional $96.00 is due prior to issuance of construction permits. Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please call Deb Barker, Associate Planner, at 253- 835-2642.

Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98063 Subject: Parking Analysis for Torero's Outside Dining Dear Ms. Barker: Transportation and Civil Engineering This letter serves to address the parking issues for the new outside dining area for the Torero's Restaurant. This existing restaurant proposes to augment its dining experience by constructing approximately 700 square feet of open patio for use during the summer months. The current parking needs of the Commons at Federal Way do not allow them to provide designated parking for this outside dining area as required by Federal Way. The following discussion and attached information should allow the city to grant the approval of the outside dining area without a need to designate specific parking or to require new parking. The proposed area will be used to augment the dining experience at Torero's without effectively increasing capacity. The availability for patrons to dine outside gives them a choice of either inside or outside depending on the weather. Torero's feels they need to have a choice for their customers especially during the summer when business is slower. The ITE document, Parking Generation, Third Edition has just been made available and provides a much more in depth analysis of parking needs for shopping centers similar to the Commons at Federal Way. I have attached excerpts which show the highest requirement for parking at shopping centers occurs during the Christmas season. During that season, the Torero's restaurant would not be serving patrons on the patio. 2214 Tacoma Road • Puyallup, WA 98371 • (253) 770-1401 • Fax (253) 770-1473 The summary of holiday parking versus non -holiday parking which was derived from the attached data is summarized below. Table 1 Maximum Parking Usage — Shopping Center Non -Holiday Holiday Stalls11000 SF Stalls11000 SF Peak Parking Weekday 2.65 3.76 Peak Parking Friday 3.02 4.01 Peak Parking Saturday 2.97 4.74 Peak Parking Sunday 2.04 4.45 The purpose is to show the ample capacity of parking during the time when the outside dining would take place at Torero's. Please call if further information is required. Sincerely, 4z Gregary B. Heath, P.E. 2 Land Use: 820 Shopping Center Additional Data Several shopping center surveys provided data on the amount of restaurant/entertainment/cinema uses within the center. While the ITE data set provides limited means of evaluation on this subject, ULI provides additional information and recommendations on shared parking in the publication Parking Requirements for Shopping Centers.2 Shopping center parking demand varies by season of the year. To better understand this variation, U.S. Census Bureau data regarding store sales for department stores3 are shown to provide an understanding of variation in monthly activity. Additionally, data are provided from ITE's Trip Generation to document variation in shopping center vehicle trips by month. Both sources point to the significant variation in activity at shopping centers in December.

Pursuant to the Process I requirements of the Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22-353 and the checklist for Process I submittal, the City has 28 days to determine whether an application is complete. : INCOMPLETE APPLICATION During the course of the City's review, the following items were found to be incomplete. In order for your application to be considered complete and ready for processing, the items below must be provided: Fagade Elevation — The application depicts a new patio on the north fagade. Access to the patio is via a new door from the existing restaurant as well as a gate from the mall entrance. On February 24, 2005, I spoke with Fernando Martinez about the need for an elevation that depicts the new door and window to the patio. The photographs submitted with the land use application depict proposed fencing but do not depict proposed doorway or window - modifications. To date, fagade elevation information has not been submitted. ■ Mall Owner Signature — The owner of The Commons at Federal Way must sign the land use application. A copy of that application is enclosed. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUESTED In addition to the completeness items discussed above, the following was identified in reviewing the application for completeness. Responses to this item will be helpful in reviewing the project when the City begins formal review. Expansion of gross floor area — Pursuant to FWCC Section 22- 1113(e), an outdoor use, activity or storage area that is in operation at least two months out of every year is considered an expansion of gross floor area. As the new 702 square -foot patio would be available for use year round, it is considered an expansion of gross floor area to the mall. With the expansion of gross floor area, pursuant to FWCC Section 22-334(3)(a), the applicant shall comply with those development regulations applicable to the geographic portion of the site on which the expansion is proposed. To this end, the development standards identified below shall be addressed for the patio project: Mr. Rodrigucx March 15, 2005 Page 2 o Landscaping — ■ Perimeter Landscaping: Perimeter landscaping at the northern end of the mall site shall conform to Type III perimeter landscaping, including trees, shrubs 24 inches in height and ground cover. ■ Foundation Landscaping: Foundation landscaping is required to screen blank walls that are 240 square feet or larger. The site plan depicts removal of existing landscaping from the area north of the restaurant, leaving three feet of landscaping between the new patio railing and the pedestrian sidewalk. Appropriate landscaping such as a three-foot tall hedge should be installed around the new patio to separate the outdoor area from the circulation areas and to mitigate removal of existing landscaping. Provide a landscape plan prepared by a licensed landscape architect that depicts appropriate landscaping around the new patio. o Pedestrian access — Provide information about the pedestrian access into the new patio from the mall entrance. Is it for emergency access or exiting only? Will there be a gate across the exit? o Paving materials — Will there be special paving or texturing on the patio and exit areas? o Patio features — Will there be any loudspeakers or service areas associated with the outdoor dining area? Will this be used as a dining only area? o Parking verification — Restaurant uses require one parking stall for each 100 square feet of gross floor area. Provide information to document that parking requirements for the existing restaurant and the proposed gross floor area expansion are accommodated in the Commons site.'
