DEPARTMENT COMMENTS
Outlined below are the comments made by the representatives of each department present at the
preapplication conference. Each section should be read thoroughly. If you have questions, please contact
the representative listed for that section.
PLANNING DIVISION (Jim Harris, 253-835-2652, jim.harris@cityoffederalway.com)
Zoning Designation and Use — The subject property is designated Office Park -1 (OP-1). Church and
conference center uses are permitted within the OP-1 zoning district pursuant to the 1994
Concomitant Zoning Agreement (CZA), Exhibit D section III(A). Please note there is no specific use
zone chart and development standards for a church use in the OP-1 zone, so many of the development
standards identified below are taken from the office use zoning use chart from the 1994 zoning code
OP district FWCC Federal Way section 22-826, as the office use permitted in FWCC section 22-826
is the closest resemblance to the permitted church use in the OP-1 zone.
2. Application — The proposed church and conference center building project is subject to Use Process
iII review pursuant to FWCC 22-826. Process III use review is conducted administratively, with a
written Process III site plan decision issued by the Director of Community Development following
review.
10-103546 Doc I D 74240
Mr. Kirkman
Page 3
August 26, 2016
Process III land use approval is valid for a period of five years and extensions to the land use approval
may be granted if criteria are met. Per FWRC 19.15.045, vesting occurs at the time the Process IIi
application is determined to be complete.
Enclosed are a master land use application, development requirements checklist, and other applicable
handouts. Refer to the Development Requirements checklist, Bulletin #014, for specific submittal
requirements.
3. Environmental Review — The project is subject to environmental review under State Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA) for the proposed construction of a new building greater than 12,000 square feet in
size with more than 40 parking spaces. The environmental review is conducted in conjunction with
the Process III land use. A SEPA environmental threshold determination made by the Director of
Community Development must be issued prior to Process iII land use or building permit approval.
4. Public Notice — Process III applications and SEPA determinations require a public notice and 15-day
comment period. Within 14 days of issuing the Letter of Complete Application, a Notice of
Application will be published in the Federal Way Mirror, mailed to property owners within 300 feet
of the subject property, posted on the subject property, and placed at the City's designated notice
boards. SEPA public notice will be conducted as established in FWRC Title 14.
Two sets of stamped, addressed mailing envelopes consistent with the enclosed mailing notice
handout must be submitted with the formal application, along with a list and map showing the
property owners within 300 feet of the subject property. The City's Geographic information System
(GIS) Department offers a service where at an applicant's request, the GIS )department will prepare
mailing labels, list and map for the 300-foot notice. There is a nominal fee for the mailing label
service. A handout on this service is enclosed.
5. Fees —Please contact a City Permit Center Development Specialist at 253-835-2607 to confirm
current fees for the Process III and SEPA applications. Be advised, separate fees will apply to
subsequent permits and approvals, such as construction permits, plans review, engineering plan
review, inspections, transportation fees and sign permits.
Additionally, please contact the Pertnit Center to schedule an appointment to submit your Process III
and SEPA applications.
6. Land Use Review Timeframes — The city makes every effort to issue land use decisions within 120
days of a complete application. However, the review timeframe is suspended at any time that
additional information is requested by the city. The applicant must submit requested information
within a 180-day timeframe, unless an extension is granted pursuant to FWRC 19.15.050(2).
The applicant must substantially complete the construction for the development activity approved
under Process III within five years after the date of decision or the decision becomes void (FWRC
19.15.100).2 Provisions for certain extensions of these timeframes are set forth in code.'
Current review procedures are applicable to those projects subject to the Concomitant Agreement per the Weyerhaeuser
Company Concomitant Pre -annexation Zoning Agreement dated August 23, 1994, under Section ILB of Exhibit D. which states:
"Reference herein to the -'FWRC" shall refer to Chapters 18. 19. 21 and 22 (Supplement 3 as now existing or as hereafter may be
modified or amended) of the Federal Way City Cocle.-- The City of Federal Way "Federal Way City Code' was revised as the
--Federal Way Revised Code" or FWRC in May 2009.

7. Development Regulations
a) Development Regulations, Applicability — As noted above, the project is subject to the August
1994 CZA and is reviewed under the 1994 FWCC development regulations in effect at that time.
The following comments and code citations pertain to the 1994 codes unless otherwise noted.
However, code provisions enacted since that time, particularly the "Community Design
Guidelines" should be consulted for guidance in project design. (See section 8 below for design
comments.)
b) Building Height — Building height for most uses in the OP-1 zoning districts is 35 feet above
average building elevation.
Since no elevation plans were submitted with the preapplication, City staff cannot verify
compliance with the height standard.
c) Building Setbacks from Property Lines and Lot Coverage —The building setbacks required for the
proposed church use is a minimum 50-foot front, and 20-foot side and rear yard.
Per the note on page one of the binding site plan, there is no minimum building setback from the
interior property line between lots 1 and 2.
FWCC section 22-826 allows a maximum lot coverage of 75 percent. Please identify lot coverage
on the site plan.
d) Mininnon Lot Size — Most all uses in the OP-1 zone are required to have a minimum 3-acre lot
size. The subject property is 1.65 acres; however, the adjoining parcel 2 of the Binding Site Plan
is also 1.65 acres in size which cumulatively meets the minimum three acre lot size requirement.
e) Parking Stall Count — Since there is no specific use zone chart and development standards for the
Church use in OP-1 zone, then the parking stall count will be determined on a case -by -case basis
by the Community Development Director in conjunction with the Process III decision. In order to
determine the appropriate number of parking stalls for the site, you will need to provide a
thorough parking analysis by a qualified professional traffic engineer. The parking stall count
analysis shall be based on FWRC 19.130.030. It appears that the subject property has shared
parking with the adjoining developed office building. The parking analysis will need to evaluate
and consider the existing office use and development in addition to the proposed church and
conference use. The existing building that shares parking with this proposed building is an office
building which requires a parking ratio of one stall per 300 feet of gross floor area.
Please provide a copy of a shared parking agreement (if existing) with the adjacent office
building property.
In addition, during the meeting your design team inquired about the potential for using an existing
adjacent SDA building parking lot for special events. This type of parking arrangement may be

permissible under FWCC section 19.130.110. This off -site parking shared parking area would
also need to be identified in the Process III application and corresponding parking stall count
analysis. A pedestrian connection would be required for this type of parking arrangement.
f) Landscaping— Perimeter and interior parking lot landscaping was installed in conjunction with
the adjacent Building B construction. The Process III land use application must include a
landscape plan detailing any proposed changes to the site plan. The landscape plan shall be
prepared by a Washington State licensed landscape architect, in accordance with applicable
interior parking lot and foundation planting requirements of FWRC 19.125, Article i,
"Landscaping." Some of the parking lot landscape islands will also need to be landscaped to meet
code requirements.
g) Site Lighting— The CZA requires that there be no direct lighting past the property line(s). In order
to review this requirement, a lighting plan must be submitted that demonstrates how this
requirement will be met.
h) Trash Receptacles, Ground Mounted Mechanical Equipment, and Rooftop Mechanical
Equipment — These improvements are subject to screening requirements. The trash enclosure is
already installed and is suitably screened. Any proposed modifications to the trash enclosure area
need to be included in the Process III application.
Depict any ground mounted mechanical equipment proposed and screening for the new buildings.
In addition, elevations must depict proposed rooftop units and proposed treatment as this will be
highly visible from adjacent buildings.
8. Community Design Guidelines'
The project is not strictly subject to the City's Community Design Guidelines, because the guidelines
were not part of the 1994 code. However, under the applicable 1994 site plan review decisional
criteria,8 the project must, "...embody good design principles that will result in high quality
development on the subject property." Additionally, the 1994 Federal Way Comprehensive Plan
(FWCP) contemplated office parks with "superior architectural quality." Few specific provisions
were contained in the 1994 zoning code for architectural and site design. The City's current design
guidelines were initially adopted in 1995 and instituted a variety of design principles and practices to
ensure quality development. In order for the project to meet the site plan review criteria,
comprehensive plan and intent of the OP-1 zone, it is recommended that the project incorporate these
adopted design guidelines to the extent possible, with particular attention to the following elements:
• Overall, the site should incorporate pedestrian -scale lighting; amenities such as bike racks
and trash receptacles at appropriate locations; and good pedestrian connectivity.
• A pedestrian plaza(s) should be provided for the building, adjacent to major entrances and
with connectivity to adjacent pedestrian areas and routes of travel. Pedestrian plazas and
pedestrian crosswalks over drive aisles should be stamped concrete, as opposed to paving
or striping, to clearly delineate such areas, for safety purposes as well as project aesthetics.

• Overall building design should utilize a variety of colors, materials, textures, and
methods of modulation and articulation. Building entrances should generally be oriented
toward rights -of -way. Public entrances should be clearly recognizable from streets and
internal circulation areas, and should utilize features such as varied roof lines and pitches,
canopies, awnings, storefront windows, etc.
• Ground -level glass adjacent to a street or pedestrian area should be of non -glare, non -
reflective glazing.

Land Use Issues — Stormwater
l . Surface water runoff control will be required per the 2016 King County Surface YYater Design
Manual (KCSWDM). This project meets the requirements for a Full Drainage Review. At the time of
land use site plan submittal, a preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR), addressing the
relevance of the project to the nine core and five special requirements of the KCSWDM will be
required. A Level I downstream analysis shall also be provided in the preliminary TIR.
2. The project lies within a Conservation flow control area, thus the applicant must design the flow
control facility to meet this performance criteria. In addition to flow control facilities, Best
Management Practices (BMP's) are required as outlined in the KCSWDM. The project also lies
within an Enhanced Basic Water Quality Area. Water Quality Treatment shall be designed to meet
the treatment criteria of the Enhanced Basic Water Quality Menu.
In addition to the KCSWDM, our review suggests that FWRC Section 19.30.120, "Nonconforming
Water Quality Improvements" applies to this site. Specifically, the following items are applicable:
l .b. Redevelopment which involves the construction or replacement of a building footprint or other
structure having a surface area of 5,000 square feet or more, or which involves the expansion of a
building footprint or other structure by 5,000 square feet of surface area or more;
l .c. Redevelopment which involves the repair or replacement of 5,000 square feet or more of an
impervious surface, when such redevelopment is not part of a routine maintenance activity;
l .d. Redevelopment which involves the collection and/or concentration of surface and/or stormwater
runoff from a drainage area of 5,000 square feet or more;
Therefore, water quality treatment will be required for the entire site, including new and existing
Pollution generating impervious surfaces. Treatment options must be selected from the Enhanced
Basic Water Quality Menu provided in the KCSWDM.
4. If infiltration is proposed, soil logs prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer or septic designer
must be provided to verify infiltration suitability.
5. Show the proposed location and dimensions of the detention, water quality, and BMP facilities on the
preliminary plans.

6. If more than one acre will be disturbed during constriction, a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) construction storm water permit may be required. Information
regarding this permit can be obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology at
htt ://www.ec .wa. ovl ro rams/w /stormwateF/constriction/index.htmi or by calling 360-407-

Right -of -Way Improvements
See the Traffic Division comments from Sarady Long, Sr. Transportation Planning Engineer, for traffic
related items.
Building Permit Issues
1. Engineered plans are required for clearing, grading, road construction, and utility work. Plans trust be
reviewed and approved by the City. Engineering review fees are $1,125.00 for the first 12 hours of
review, and $93.75 per hour for additional review time. A final TIR shall be prepared for the project
and submitted with the engineering plans. Both the TiR and the plans will require the signature/seal
of a professional engineer registered/licensed in the State of Washington.
2. The Federal Way Public Works Development Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings,
standard notes, and engineering checklists) is available on the City's website at:
www.cilyoffederalway.com/iiode/1467 to assist the applicant's engineer in preparing the plans and
TI R.
Bonding is required for all street improvements and temporary erosion and sediment control measures
associated with the project. The bond amount shall be 120 percent of the estimated costs of the
improvements. An administrative fee deposit will need to accompany the bond to cover any possible
legal fees in the event the bond must be called. Upon completion of the installation of the
improvements, and final approval of the Public Works Inspector, the bond will be reduced to 30
percent of the original amount and held for a two-year maintenance period.
4. The developer will be responsible for the maintenance of all storm drainage facilities (including the
detention and water quality facilities) and street systems during the two-year maintenance period.
During that time, the Public Works Inspector will make periodic visits to the site to ensure the
developer's compliance with the maintenance requirements. Upon satisfactory completion of the two-
year maintenance period, the remainder of the bond will be released. Maintenance for public roads
and subdivision drainage facilities then become the responsibility of the City. Maintenance for private
roads and drainage facilities, including short plats, remain the responsibility of the individual property
owners.
5. When topographic survey information is shown on the plans, the vertical datum block shall include
the phrase "DATUM: N.G.V.D.-29" or "DATUM: K.C.A.S.," on all sheets where vertical elevations
are called out.
6. Drawings submitted for plan review shall be printed on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" paper. Site plans shall
be drawn at a scale of 1" = 20', or larger. Architectural scales are not permitted on engineering plans.
7. Provide cut and fill quantities on the clearing and grading plan.

construction.
PUBLIC WORKS TRAFFIC DIVISION
Sarady Long, 253-835-2743, saradv.lontr citvoffederalway.com
Transportation Concurrency Analysis (FWRC 19.90)
I. A concurrency permit is required for this development project. A concurrency information package is
enclosed. The concurrency analysis will determine if adequate roadway capacity exists during the
weekday PM peak period to accommodate the proposed development project. Please note that
supplemental transportation analysis and concurrency mitigation may be required if the proposed
project creates an impact not anticipated in the six -year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP).
2. Based on the submitted materials for 20,460 square feet conference center/church building, the
Institute of Transportation Engineers (iTE) Trip Generation - 8"' Edition, land use code 710 (General
Office Building), the proposed project is estimated to generate approximately 102 new weekday PM
peak hour trips. The applicant's engineer may submit a trip generation study to determine the number
of trips generated by the proposed development. At a minimum, the trip generation study shall
include three (3) studies for similar land use and settings approved by the Traffic Division. The
methodology for determining the trip generation shall be based upon the guidelines established in the
most recent edition of the ITE Trip Generation Handbook.
The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is 84,315.50 (51— 500 Trips). This fee is an
estimate and based on the materials submitted during the preapplication meeting. The concurrency
application fee must be paid in full at the time the concurrency permit application is submitted with
land use application. The fee may change based on the new weekday PM peak hour trips as identified
in the concurrency trip generation. The applicant has the option of having an independent traffic
engineer prepare the concurrency analysis consistent with City procedures; however, the fee remains
the same.
Transportation Impact Fees (TIF) (FWRC 19.91)
Based on the submitted materials for 20,460 square feet general office building, the preliminary estimated
traffic impact fee is S118,845. Please note, the actual impact fee will be calculated based on the fee
schedule in effect at the time a building permit application is filed and must be paid prior to permit
issuance.
Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135)
Per FWRC 19.135.040, the applicant/owner will be expected to construct street improvements consistent
with the planned roadway cross -sections as shown in Appendix III -A in Chapter III of the Federal Way
Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) and the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), shown as Table 111-10.
Weyerhaeuser Way S frontage has been improved to current standard and as such no additional
improvement is required.

Access Management (FWRC 19.135)
1. Access may be further restricted if such access would interfere with the 95"' percentile queue lengths
from any existing traffic control device.
2. For driveways that serve uses other than single-family residential uses and zero lot line townhouse
development, the maximum driveway width is 30 feet for a two-lane two-way driveway and 40 feet
for a three -lane two-way driveway (FWRC 19.135.270). Driveway widths may be increased in order
to provide adequate width for vehicles that may be reasonably expected to use the driveway, as
determined by the Public Works Director.
PUBLIC WORKS - SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING DIVISION (Rob Van Orsow, 253-835-2770,
robs .cityoffedera1way.com
Solid Waste & Recycling Design Considerations
Solid waste and recycling design considerations include:
• Adequate space allocation for interior and exterior garbage, recycling, food waste, waste oil, yard
debris, hazardous waste, or biohazard collection containers. Minimum recycling space allocation
is established by FWRC 19.125.150.
• For basic solid waste and recycling needs within a single enclosure, clear interior dimensions
measuring 10' deep by 20' across are recommended, along with a two -door swing -open or roll -
open gate that spans the front width of the enclosure. When gate doors are opened, no structure or
hardware should remain above grade across the enclosure opening. Gate pins/holes are preferred
for holding gates in closed and open positions to ease service access and maximize the life of gate
hardware.
• Sites may require a larger enclosure, or multiple enclosures, to accommodate on -site user access
and/or additional waste types and containers.
• Plan for user access to interior waste and recycling storage areas/containers, and to exterior
containers screened by enclosure(s).
• Plan for unobstructed, safe enclosure ingress and egress for service vehicles, directly in line with
enclosure openings. Allow appropriate turning radii for service vehicles, and minimize potential
`blind spots' during ingress and egress.
• Consider landscaping, setbacks and screening requirements [based on FWRC Section 19.125.040
(4) & (5)].
• Note that larger -scale commercial or multi -unit housing developments may see long-term savings
from the use of on -site waste compaction equipment. Planning for this equipment may require
larger enclosure dimensions, defined overhead clearances, consideration of power utility access,
and drainage management.
• Mixed -use developments may also benefit from on -site waste compaction equipment. Additional
mixed -use development considerations include:
o Designated chutes and/or internal facility maintenance areas or services for tenants,
o Moving waste and recycling streams from interior units to collection areas, and
o Access by business tenants and/or residents to exterior waste and recycling areas.
Help with many design parameters related to service access is available via the City's contracted solid
waste services provider, Waste Management. Contact: Dian Young, Route Manager, at 253-804-6815

analysis (separate from, or concurrent with, an application for Availability). Current/2016 cost for a
hydraulic model analysis is $200.00. Fire flow rates greater than available in the existing distribution
system may be accommodated through water distribution system improvements. Please contact
Lakehaven for further detail. `
• The does not have a previous or existing water service connection. There is an existing fire -protection
service stub off the SE corner of the property.
• For water use during site construction/development, a hydrant meter may be rented from Lakehaven
for this purpose. Please contact Lakehaven for further detail.
• A water service connection application (form attached) submitted separately to Lakehaven is required
for each new service connection to the water distribution system, or any modification to an existing
water service connection (e.g., larger service, irrigation, abandonment of existing service(s), re-
activation, etc.), in accordance with standards defined in Lakehaven's current `Fees and Charges
Resolution'. Non -single-family properties require separate domestic (per building), irrigation (if
irrigated landscaped areas are incorporated into the site development), and fire protection (if required
or installed) water service connections & meters.
• Installation & satisfactory testing of an approved backflow prevention assembly (BPA) adjacent to
each domestic & irrigation service meter is required pursuant to WAC 246-290-490 & Lakehaven
standards regarding premise isolation. As low health cross -connection hazards, either a double check
valve assembly (DCVA) or a reduced pressure backflow assembly (RPBA) is required adjacent to
each meter. If a separate fire protection service connection is needed or desired, installation &
satisfactory testing of a separate approved backflow prevention assembly (BPA) is required pursuant
to WAC 246-290-490 & Lakehaven standards regarding premise isolation. As a low cross -connection
hazard, a double check detector assembly (DCDA) or a reduced pressure detector assembly (RPDA)
is required for 3" & larger connections; for 2" & smaller connections a separate frill -flow meter with a
Double Check Valve Assembly (DCVA) or RPBA is typical. Contact Lakehaven's Cross -Connection
Control Program Manager (Chris Zoepfl, CZoepfl rc Lakehaven.org, 253-946-5427) for additional
information on premise isolation & BPA testing coordination.
• Based on the proposal submitted, preliminary estimated Lakehaven water service connection
fees/charges/deposits (2016 schedule) will be as follows. Actual connection charges will be
determined upon submittal of service connection application(s) to Lakehaven. All Lakehaven fees,
charges and deposits are typically reviewed & adjusted (if necessary) annually, and are subject to
change without notice.
■ Water Service/Meter Installation, 1" Domestic (est. size only): $4,230.00 deposit. Actual size TBD by
Lakehaven based on applicant's estimated maximum GPM usage rate.
• Water Service/Meter Installation, 1 %" Irrigation (est. size only): $5,200.00 deposit. Actual size TBD
by Lakehaven based on applicant's estimated maximum GPM usage rate.
• Water Service/Meter Installation, 5/8"x3/4" fire -protection flow detection: $270.00 charge.
• Capital Facilities Charge(s)-Water: $3,629.00 per Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), based on
