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@cityoffederalway.com)
A. Zoning, Use, and Review Process — The zoning of the site is BC (Commercial Business). As set forth
in the Federal Way City Code (FWCC), church and school uses are permitted pursuant to Process
III, Project Approval.' The proposal to expand the building and install more than 20 parking stalls
will require Process III and review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). These are
administrative procedures wherein the Director of Community Development Services makes a land
use decision based on criteria2 following the environmental determination.
The Director of Community Development Services issues the Process III and environmental
threshold decisions, which decisions can be appealed to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner. The
City's land use decision is also subject to the statutory requirements pertaining to a maximum 120-
day review time frame and public noticing.
B. Northern Lot — The proposed parking lot is located on a separate lot north of the existing Church
site. If this lot is to be used for parking, a reciprocal parking and access easement must be recorded
against the title of both lots. Conversely, a BLA application could be processed and recorded at King
County thereby eliminating the second lot.
C. Public Notice Requirements — The application is subject to public notice of application and of the
environmental determination. Therefore, the application must be accompanied by a total of two sets
of stamped mailing envelopes, prepared in accordance with the City's requirements.3 Both sets shall
be addressed to all owners of real property located within 300 feet of site boundaries. In accordance
1FWCC Section 2.2-755, "Schools, Day Care Facilities, Churches" (enclosed)
2FWCC Section 22-395, "Process 111"
3 See City handout titled Obtaining Mailing Envelopes
05-101618 Doc. I.D. 31238
Mr. Thorstad
May 11, 2005
Page 3
with the City's procedures, all envelopes must contain the Department of Community Development
Services return address, and a paper list of addressees must be submitted along with the envelopes in
addition to an assessors map with the 300-foot boundary depicted. Mailing information should be
current and accurate in order to avoid having to verify the mailing list and re -mail any notices,
thereby affecting project review time frames.
D. Filing Fees — The formal application must be prepared in accordance with the City's Development
Requirements checklist (enclosed) and must be accompanied by the appropriate fees. Current land
use application fees for the proposal are:
Process III $2071.50
SEPA $832.50
BLA $1,234.50
Expedited review may be available for all project components at additional cost to be determined by
outside consultants. Refer to the enclosed handout on expedited review.
E. Nonconformance — Article IV of the FWCC establishes when and under what circumstances
nonconforming aspects of a use or development must be brought into conformance with the zoning
code. The church and school uses were formally established through the code processes in effect at
the time of the application. FWCC Section 22-334(3)(b) states that if additional gross floor area is
added to an existing structure, the applicant shall comply with all development regulations
applicable to the entire site. Phase III shall include compliance with land use regulations, design
guideline standards, and landscape requirements identified under Phase III Requirements (below). In
addition, outstanding violations at the site including illegal clearing and grading of a vacant lot, and
the removal of significant trees, must be resolved with the Phase III work.
PHASE III REQUIREMENTS
a. Parking — Phase III proposes installation of 59 new parking stalls on the north side of the site.
The transportation management plan shall be amended to justify the larger sanctuary size and
the proposed number of parking stalls, as well as the various uses of the building, including the
shared parking situation with the Post Office to the east, as provided for in FWCC Section 22-
755. All new parking stalls shall meet FWCC code requirements for size, location, and interior
parking lot landscaping standards.
b. Landscaping — Five feet of Type III landscaping are to be provided around portions of the
subject site in conjunction with Phase III. If the Phase III parking lot is located on a separate lot
from the existing Church, perimeter parking will be required between both properties unless a
shared parking and access agreement is recorded against both properties. Type III landscape
standards require a mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees planted in the perimeter landscape
area. Parking areas adjacent to the right-of-way improved under Phase II must be screened with
either a three-foot tall berm installed within the perimeter landscaping, architectural features, or
substantial plantings added to the perimeter landscaping.4 This includes parking stalls adjacent
to South 328`h Street. Provide a cross section to demonstrate how this is achieved.
In addition, interior parking lot landscaping in the amount of 22 square feet per parking stall
shall be provided in the new parking lot.

Significant Trees — An unknown number of trees that meet the FWCC definition of a significant
tree were removed from the Phase III parking lot site in advance of issuance of construction
permits. Replacement of significant trees is required per FWCC Section 22-1570. Please
provide information to demonstrate the size, type, and number of trees located in the parking lot
site prior to removal. Staff may also use aerial photographs to ascertain the number of
significant trees removed and will apply the requirement during land use review.
d. Community Design Guidelines
FWCC Section 22-1634(d), Pedestrian Circulation and Public Spaces: Pedestrian
pathways from the expanded parking area and South 328'h Street right-of-way to primary
entrances and pedestrian areas shall be provided. They shall be accessible, clearly
delineated, and protected from abutting vehicle circulation areas with landscaping. Paint
striping as a method of delineation is not permitted.
2. FWCC Section 22-1635(b and c), FaVade Modulation, Screening, Articulation and Scale:

north and west facades of the new addition. If landscaping is proposed as a second
treatment method, the landscape plan should depict Type II, visual buffer landscaping per
FWCC Section 22-1635(b)(2).
Fencing — A portion of the new parking lot is proposed to be fenced to provide parking
and access for Post Office vehicles. Fencing that is reflective of the building and site shall
be provided pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1634(a)(4). Chain link fencing, if visible from
the right-of-way shall use vinyl -coated mesh and powder -coated poles per FWCC Section
22-1638(a)(4). Please be advised that stand-alone chain link fencing does not meet the
intent of FWCC Section 22-1634 (a)(4).
e. Rooftop Screening — Rooftop screening is required from any mechanical equipment installed
with the new addition.
f. School Playground — Provide a statement to demonstrate how school activities previously
proposed for the grass area at the west of the site are being accommodated. As noted in land use

LAKEHAVEN UTILITY DISTRICT (Brian I. Asbury, 253-946-5407, basbury@lakehaven.org)
Water Issues
1. A new developer extension agreement will be required to extend and/or construct mainline water
facilities to the northern edge of the subject property, including the potential for additional hydrant(s) to
meet District hydrant spacing standards. Additional mainline extension will be required if asphalt right-
of-way improvements on South 328'h Street will be in an area that future water facilities would be
constructed to connect to existing water main north of the northeast corner of the subject property.
Additional detail and/or design requirements can be obtained from the District by submitting a separate
application to the District for either a pre -design meeting or a developer extension agreement
(application copies enclosed). The District encourages the owner to apply for either of these processes
early in the pre-design/planning phase to avoid delays in overall project development.
2. Owner will be required to complete a Water Use Questionnaire (WUQ); with baclflow prevention
requirements, if any, to be determined upon review of said WUQ.
Sewer Issues
1. If a sewer connection is needed, a side sewer permit is required for any new connection to the sanitary
sewer system. Minimum slope for side sewers is two percent.
05-101618 Doc I D 31238
Mr. Thorstad
May 11, 2005
Page 10
2. If a sewer connection is needed, owner will be required to complete a Sewer Use Survey (SUS); with
pretreatment requirements, if any, to be determined upon review of said SUS.
3. If a sewer connection is needed, in addition to all other side sewer installation standards, installation of a
Type 1, 48" monitoring manhole is required on the private building/side sewer line.
General Comments
1. For any new or additional extensions or connections, the District researches prior facilities charges paid,
if any, and evaluates the proposed project for the existence of any credits for the Capital Facilities
Charges (CFC) or any amounts due, based on water consumption records. For increased usage of the
water and/or sewer systems beyond the level covered by any previous payments, CFC will be assessed
and collected for the increased use, including increases attributable to usage associated with existing
service. CFC will be assessed and collected for any increased use above that which may have been
previously paid, including increases attributable to usage associated with existing service.
2. The District's Capital Facilities Charges are calculated on the basis of Equivalent Residential Units
(ERU). Residential equivalency will be estimated based on anticipated water use (1 ERU = 255 gallons
per day for water and 220 gallons per day for sewer). Owner will be required to provide a reliable
estimate of proposed water consumption (commercial and irrigation) for the property (information from
a similar facility may be submitted in lieu of a new estimate). Capital Facilities Charges will be assessed
and collected for any increased use above that which may have been previously paid, including
increases attributable to usage associated with existing service- Actual water consumption will be
monitored and additional Capital Facilities Charges may be assessed within five years of original
connection. The District's current Capital Facilities Charges are $3,212/ERU for water and $2,702/ERU
for sewer.
Credit is available for this property from connection charges previously assessed under Utility Local
Improvement District No. 19 at the rate of 4.0 ERU per acre for sewer only.
4. All comments herein are valid for one year and are based on the proposal(s) submitted and the District's
current regulations and policies. Any change to either the development proposal(s) or the District's
regulations and policies may affect the above comments accordingly.
