expire on 09/20/2019. Under 19.15.110 2 c , this request to extend will not create or continue conditions that

impact the public health, safety and welfare as the delay is due in part to negotiations between Sprint and the

Star Lake Water Tank — Sprint SE52XC241, 2649 South Star Lake Road, Federal Way, WA
Dear Ms. Foronda:
The Community Development: Department is in receipt of your September 24, 2019, request for a one-year
extension for city file 18-103848-UP, for the proposed eligible facilities request to modify an existing Personal
Wireless Facility (PWSF) located at the above -mentioned address. The city's zoning and development
regulations allow the director to administer extensions if the review criteria of Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC)
19.15.110(2) are satisfied. The Use Process I approval is hereby extended to expire September 23, 2020.
TIME EXTENSION CRITERIA
Pursuant to FWRC 19.15.110(4), "Lapse of Approval — Time Extension," the director may grant a one-year
extension of time for Use Process I applications in order to substantially complete construction and
applicable conditions of approval, subject to the following criteria. City staff reviewing your extension request
responded to each criterion using information provided by the applicant and relevant city policies justifying
the extension approval. Please see the analysis below:
(a) Except for the first request for time extension, the applicant has made substantial progress to complete
the project;
Staff Response — This is the applicant's first request; staff finds criterion (a) has been met.
(b) There are circumstances beyond the applicant's control which prevent compliance with the time limits;
Staff Response — The application was in negotiations with the landlord on financial lease terms, which has
now been resolved. Staff finds criterion (b) has been met.
(c) The extension will not create or continue conditions that constitute a code violation or an attractive
nuisance, contribute to erosion and sedimentation problems, or impact the public health, safety, and welfare;
Sta$Response — Site conditions have remained unchanged since the eligible facilities request was granted
approval; therefore, code violations, attractive nuisances, erosion/sedimentation problems, and impacts
to public health, safety, and welfare have not and should not arise due to the extension approval. Staff
finds criterion (c) has been met.

(i) Whether the adoption of new coder and/or standards would substantially affeaproject layout and storm draina8e design;
Staff Response — The approved request seeks to change equipment on an existing facility and is not
influenced by the adoption of new codes and/or standards that would affect project layout and storm
drainage design. Staff note criterion (d)(i) has been met.
(ii) The adequacy of mili ation and/or impact fees to adds-esr the cost of mitiSation at the end of the e,%piration period;
Staff Response — The proposal will not generate any net new trips during the weekday PM peak period,
as such mitigation and/or impact fees requirements do not apply to this proposal. Staff note criterion
(d)(ii) has been met.
(iii) Whether the delayed project is an impediment to other development projects in the vicinity as a result of tr alTic coneurrency
reserved capacity.
Staff Response — Staff has determined a project delay will not be an impediment to other development
projects. Staff note criterion (d)(iii) has been met.

approval, or the project will expire by the limitations set forth in FWRC 19.15.100(1). If you have any
