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 (Deb Barker, 253-835-2642, deb.barker(a),,citvoffederahvay.eom)
1. Land Use and Environmental Review — The zoning of the subject site is Office Park (OP). This
zoning district permits a variety of uses, including hospital uses, pursuant to FWCC Section 22-831
(enclosed). The addition at the hospital will require Process III (Project Approval) and environmental
review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
The applicant can choose to utilize a previous SEPA determination issued by the City if the recent
ambulatory surgery center addressed the proposed ICU/PCU expansion. Otherwise, a new SEPA
checklist must be submitted for the new project. Under SEPA review, the City will review the
checklist and issue a determination. Following the determination, the decision will be mailed to all
property owners within 300 feet of the subject site, as well as posted at official sites. Interested
parties have 14 days to comment on the environmental threshold determination. A 14-day appeal
period follows the comment period.
Process III review is an administrative site plan review process, with a written decision by the
Director of Community based on criteria listed under FWCC Section 22-395(b), which shall be
issued after conclusion of the environmental process. The process III application must be prepared in
accordance with the enclosed Development Application Submittal Requirements Checklist. A
checklist and master land use application are enclosed along with applicable code sections. Building
permits are issued following completion of the Process III review.
Processing time for the concurrent SEPA and Process III review is approximately 120 review days
following submittal of a complete application. This 120-day review period does not include any time
during which the City has requested addition technical information required to review the
application. Building permits can be issued after Process III approval is granted.

Fees — The proposal to develop the project requires the following 2006 fees:
Process III: $2,129.00, plus $305.50 over 20,000 square feet
SEPA Fee: $ 843.50
Total: $3,278.00
Process III fees vary with the size of the proposed building square footage, so please call to
determine application fees if the proposed building sizes are modified during the design phase.
Additional fees are associated with other City and district regulations, recording fees, engineering
plan review, and other permits. Building permits must be obtained before any work commences.
3. Expedited Review —Expedited review for a variety of project components is available. Refer to the
enclosed handout for submittal information, fees, and requirements. Please be advised that expedited
review fees are in addition to the fees identified in section 2 above.
4. Nonconforming Development — FWCC Chapter 22, Article IV establishes when and under what
circumstances nonconforming aspects of a use or development must be brought into conformance
with the zoning code. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-334(3)(a), if an expansion of gross floor area of
an existing building with single tenant or uses occurs through enlargement of the existing building
footprint, then the applicant shall comply with all development regulations in effect at the time the
expansion is proposed.
Although there are many activities, the hospital building site' is considered a single tenant single use
site. Therefore, with the addition of the ICU/PCU, all development regulations shall be met for the
hospital building site as discussed below.
Bulk and Dimensional Regulations — Front, side, and rear yard setbacks are maintained with this
application. The required side yard is 20 feet; the slight expansion to the north does not intrude into
this setback.
An average building elevation height of 35 feet is allowed for hospital use in the OP zone. Average
building elevation is measured from the finished grade, or existing grade prior to development,
whichever is lower. Note 5 of FWCC Section 22-831 states that the maximum height of structures to
30 feet above average building elevation when within 100 feet of a residential zone. The property
adjacent to a portion of the south property line is zoned residential. The formal application shall
verify the distance of the ICU addition to the adjacent residential zone.
All rooftop or ground mounted mechanical equipment must be screened from the street and adjacent
properties per FWCC Section 22-960. The formal application must identify proposed screening
methods for these features.
6. Parking — Parking is required at a case by case basis for the hospital use. An analysis of parking
needs with the ICU/PCU addition must be provided with the process III application. The site has a
recorded shared parking agreement, which should be considered in the parking needs analysis.
1 Hospital building is based on the Binding Site Plan.
File N05-105889-00-PC Doc. LD. 34075

December 19, 2005
7. Required Landscaping — A preliminary landscape plan, prepared by a liccnscd landscape architect in
accordance with FWCC Chapter 22, Article XVII, "Landscaping," is required as part of the site plan
submittal. The landscape plan must contain the following elements:
a. Buffer Requirements — FWCC Section 22-1566(h)(1) requires 10 feet of Type III landscaping
abutting access easements and public right-of-ways. Formal application shall verify that the
perimeter landscaping requirements are met at the hospital site. Type III landscaping consists of
trees, large shrubs, and groundcover that will provide visual separation, including a mixture of
six foot tall evergreen trees and 1.5 inch caliper deciduous trees, interspersed with 24 inch tall
shrubs and groundcover. Under the nonconformance analysis, the perimeter buffer areas
surrounding the hospital site would be required to be upgraded to current standards.
FWCC Section 22-1566(h)(2) requires Type I solid screen landscaping 15 feet in width adjacent
to residential zoning districts along a portion of south property line. Type I landscaping is
intended to provide a 100 percent solid screen from incompatible uses. This is in place in
conjunction with previous hospital projects.
b. Parking Lot Landscaping — Under the nonconformance criteria, Type IV landscaping must be
provided in the interior of the parking lot within the BSP area of the hospital in accordance
with FWCC Section 22-1567. Twenty-two square feet of interior parking lot landscaping must
be provided for each parking stall for parking lots with 50 or more stalls. Parking lot
landscaping shall generally be provided at the end of all parking rows and dispersed throughout
the parking area in a manner to reduce visual impact of the parking lot. Pursuant to FWCC
Section 2271567(c), the minimum width of planter islands at the end of 90-degree rows is six
feet. To determine if this requirement is met, the formal site plan must identify the interior
parking lot landscape calculations.
c. Plant Species — The landscape plan shall state how it conforms to the drought tolerant plant
species requirements of FWCC Section 22-1564(fl.
d. Screening — Trash enclosures and loading docks shall be screened from abutting properties and
rights -of -way by a 100 percent sight -obscuring fence or wall, and appropriate landscape screen.
This applies to the new loading dock area.
Landscape Modification - Opportunities to modify landscape requirements are available
pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1570.
8. Design Guidelines — Projects subject to Process III review are subject to the provisions of FWCC
Chapter 22, Article XIX, "Community Design Guidelines" (enclosed). Please review the enclosed
design guidelines for all applicable design elements. Following are key design guidelines, along with
staff comments.
In cases of remodeling of existing developments, those guidelines that are reasonably related and
applicable to the area of expansion or remodeling are applied to the project per FWCC Section 22-
1632. Generally, this proposal must address guidelines pertaining to facade treatment and pedestrian
circulation f6r the existing building near the area of expansion and for all new development. The
File #05-105889-00-PC Doc. I.D. 34075
Mr. Doug Garner
Page 5
December 19, 2005
formal application must include a written design analysis based on FWCC requirements. I would be
glad to meet with you to review community design guideline matters.
a. Two of the four -facade modulation and screening standards under FWCC Section 22-1635
must be implemented for facades of new addition which are longer than 60 feet and visible
from a public right-of-way or residential use or zoning district. In the case of the addition, the
northern facade is visible from a future right-of-way, as defined in FWCC Section 22-1633(10).
It is recommended that this facade incorporate modulation per FWCC Section 22-1638, and
that the canopy treatment be extended to meet the intent of the code.
b. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1635(c), building facade articulation must be provided for all
facades visible from a right-of-way or public area, irrespective of item (c) above. The following
concepts should be included to minimize building mass and scale: pitched roofs, cornices,
material, and color variation. The proposed elevations depict material and color variations.
These should be echoed within the balance of the hospital building.
Project designers shall strive for overall site design continuity by using similar elements
throughout the project (FWCC Section 22-1634[4]). The new facade is completely different
from the balance of the building; it is recommended that the new materials be incorporated into
existing portions of the building to address this requirement.
d. Submittal of a colors and materials boards is required; and a colored street elevation sketch is
helpful for staff in conducting the design review.
9. Wellhead Protection — The subject site is located in a wellhead protection zone, which is also known
as a wellhead capture zone. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1372(1), adopted on November 16, 2004,
projects that are located within Wellhead Capture Zone I may only be permitted in a wellhead
protection area if the applicant can show that the proposed activity will not cause contamination to
enter the aquifer. The formal application must include a completed Hazardous Materials Inventory
Statement Critical Aquifer Recharge and Wellhead Protection Areas checklist. A copy of the code
section and a handout on critical aquifer recharge and wellhead protection areas is enclosed.

b) Provide a containment curb around the area that the trash compactor rests upon, provide a roof
over the entire trash compactor and curbed area, and submit a maintenance plan to address the
containment area. The cover may need to meet additional design requirements of the planning
and/or building department, OR
c) Provide a containment curb around the area that the trash compactor rests upon, provide a roof
over the entire trash compactor and curbed area, and plumb the contained area into the sanitary
sewer system. Contact Lakehaven Utility District for sewer connection requirements.
Please keep in mind that these requirements apply and must be implemented, whether the trash
compactor is relocated as part of this project, or is left in its current location.
2. Show, on the plans, the means of addressing the trash compactor/water quality issue.
PUBLIC WoRKs TRAFFIC DIVISION (Raid Tirhi, 253-835-2744, raid .tirhi a),citvoffederalwa .com
FWCC Section 22-1475 authorizes the requirement of Transportation Impact Analyses to identify
transportation impacts of a proposed development and identify appropriate mitigation measures.
The applicant would be expected to contribute pro-rata shares towards Transportation Improvement
Plan (TIP) projects impacted by 10 or more peak hour trips. Mitigation improvements necessary
beyond those identified in the TIP to meet the City's adopted level -of -service standard are required
to be provided -by the applicant to meet concurrency requirements of the Growth Management Act.
2-a. Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation (ITE) 7`" Edition, land use code
610 (Hospital), the project is estimated to generate 26 weekday evening peak hour trips. A Traffic
Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by a traffic engineer licensed in the state of Washington is required
to assess project impacts and determine mitigation measures. The traffic engineer should contact
the Traffic Division for a scoping sheet in the initial stages of their study. Four final copies must be
stamped and submitted to the City.
2-b. In order to save the applicant time and money in preparing the above TIA, staff completed a
preliminary traffic mitigation analysis. Staff s analysis of the subject proposal indicates that the
applicant would simply be required to pay his pro-rata share contribution toward the South 348`h
Street improvement project listed as project ID No. 3 in the six -year TIP, (2006-2011). Staffs
analysis resulted in a pro-rata share of $21,000.
3. In order for the application to be considered complete, the City must either receive four copies of a
TIA report (stamped by the applicant's engineer) or a letter (signed by the applicant) proposing a

LAKEHAVEN UTILITY DISTRICT (Brian Asbury, 253-835-2642, basbury@lakehaven.org)
Water
Although it appears no conflict should arise based on the plans submitted for the preapplication
process, the applicant's design should consider and avoid any conflicts with existing Lakehaven
water main and/or easement near the proposed area of construction (see enclosed map).
Although not anticipated based on the plans submitted for the preapplication process, if additional
hydrants or other fire protection system are required or indicated, a developer extensiont agreement
will be required. Additional detail and/or design requirements can be obtained from Lakehaven by
submitting a separate application to Lakehaven for either a pre -design meeting or a developer
extension agreement. Lakehaven encourages the owner to apply for either of these processes early in
the pre-design/planning phase to avoid delays in overall project development.
The owner will be required to complete and submit a Water Use Questionnaire (WUQ, copy
enclosed). Information in the WUQ will be used by Lakehaven to determine specific backflow
prevention requirements.
Sewer
The plans submitted for the preapplication process indicate a new trash enclosure area. Any liquid
wastewater generated from this area will need to ultimately discharge to the sanitary sewer system;
however, it is presumed the area will connect into the building's plumbing system on the northern
side of the building. While still subject to Lakehaven's Sewer Use Rules regarding discharge from
exterior trash areas (copy enclosed), the connection would not require a service connection permit
from Lakehaven.

* The owner will be required to complete and submit a Scwcr Usc Survey (SUS; copy enclosed).
Information in the SUS will be used by Lakehaven to determine specific pretreatment requirements.
General
* For any proposed change or increase in usage beyond the level of the water and/or sewer system
capacity previously purchased for the property(ies), Lakehaven researches prior system capacity
charges paid, if any, and evaluates the subject property(ies) for the existence of any available credits
and determination of a capacity `base level' for the subject property(ies). For any new or modified,
non-residential connections sought after December 31, 2004, Lakehaven will assess additional
Capital Facilities Charges (CFC) to property owners, where increased usage of the water and/or
sewer systems beyond the property's base level, including increases attributable to usage associated
with existing service(s), is indicated based on owner's submittal of estimated water consumption
figures. Additionally, Lakehaven will levy, and the owner shall pay, a capacity rental charge for
capacity utilized, based on water consumption records, during a usage monitoring period (not to
exceed five years) above the level of capacity available following payment of any additional CFC.
The owner has the option to make full purchase of any system capacity deficit at any time.
Currently, system capacity is available for this property from system capacity charges previously
assessed under Water Meter Application #13158 for 88 ERU for water and under Side Sewer Permit
#14789 for 88 ERU for sewer. The most current 12-month period of water consumption indicates a
usage level of 129 ERU for water and 130 ERU for sewer, indicating a current deficit (not including
any proposed increase) of -41 ERU for water and -42 ERU for sewer. Lakehaven's current Capital
Facilities Charges are $3,212/ERU for water and $2,702/ERU for sewer.
It is anticipated that Lakehaven will implement an automated capacity rental charge affecting all
non-residential service accounts in conjunction with and as part of standard, bi-monthly account
billings.
While Lakehaven's current `Fees an d Charges' Resolution does not preclude implementation of the
automated rental charge at this time, staff estimates implementation in early 2007 due to projected,
overall workload, and staff and resources available to prepare this process.
All comments herein are valid for one year and are based on the proposal(s) submitted and
Lakehaven's current regulations and policies. Any change to either the development proposal(s), or
Lakehaven's regulations and policies, may affect the above comments accordingly.
NOTE: Lakehaven Utility District neither warrants nor guarantees the accuracy of information provided.
Facility locations and conditions are subject to field verification. All fees and charges are subject to
change without notice.
FEDERAL WAY FIRE DEPARTMENT (Greg Brozek, 253-946-7241, greg.brozek@federalwayfire.org)
The Fire Marshal's Office requirements will be addressed during the plan review process. Prior to and during
any demolition of the existing building and all new construction, provide the Fire Department and the

MEMORANDUM
Public Works Department
SUBJECT: ST FRANCIS HOSPITAL ICU/PCU EXPANSION - (05-105889-00-PC)
34515 9TH AVE S, (REVISED)
Following are the Traffic Division's revised comments for the most current proposal of 25,615 square feet
addition instead of the 22,000 number as indicated in the application materials.
1. Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22-1475 authorizes the requirement of Transportation
Impact Analyses to identify transportation impacts of a proposed development and identify
appropriate mitigation measures. The applicant would be expected to contribute pro-rata shares
towards TIP projects impacted by 10 or more peak hour trips. Mitigation improvements necessary
beyond those identified in the TIP to meet the City's adopted level -of -service standard are required
to be provided by the applicant to meet concurrency requirements of the Growth Management Act.
2-a. Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation (ITE) 7`4 Edition, land use code
610 [Hospital), the project is estimated to generate 26 weekday evening peak hour trips. A Traffic
Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by a traffic engineer licensed in the state of Washington is required
to assess project impacts and determine mitigation measures. The traffic engineer should contact the
Traffic Division for a scoping sheet in the initial stages of their study. Four final copies must be
stamped and submitted to the City.
2-b. In order to save the applicant time and money in preparing the above TIA, staff completed a
preliminary traffic mitigation analysis. Staff s analysis of the subject proposal indicates that the
applicant would simply be required to pay his pro-rata share contribution toward S 348th Street
improvement project listed as project ID No. 3 in the 6-year Transportation Improvement plan (TIP),
(2006-2011). Staffs analysis resulted in a pro-rata share of $21,000.
Therefore, in order for the application to be considered complete, the City must either receive four
copies of a TIA report (stamped by the applicant's engineer) or a letter (signed by the applicant)
proposing a $23,600 voluntary contribution towards the City's TIP project.
