PLANNING DIVISION (Jeff O. Johnson, 253-835-2626, jeff.0ohuson(a)cityoffederalway-com}
1. PWSF Review Process — Pursuant to FWCC Chapter 22, Article XIII, Division 1, Section 22-
967(10), "Development Standards," PWSF applications are administratively processed using the
appropriate permit process as outlined in the use zone charts (Article XI of this chapter, "District
Regulations"). This proposal is located in RM 3600 (multi -family residential) zone; the application
will be processed through a Use Process III. Once the PWSF application -is deemed complete, public
notice of the complete proposal is required, followed by a 14-day public comment period. At the
conclusion of the staff review process, recommendations are forwarded to the Director of
Community Development Services, who then issues a written decision, which is also followed by a
14-day public comment period. No public hearing is required unless there is an appeal of the
director's decision. I have enclosed a land -use application, copy of the FWCC related to PWSFs, and
other relevant code sections.
2. Use Process Fees — The fee associated with a PWSF reviewed under Use Process III is $2,071.50. A
check for the full amount of the fees must accompany the application at the time of submittal. Fees
are subject to change annually.
3. Critical Areas - This project does not appear to be affected by any critical areas as defined by the
FWCC. A formal review of the status of this project relative to critical areas will be completed at the
time a for :ial application is submitted.
4. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) — The proposed PWSF appears to be exempt from SEPA
review because it does not appear to be in a critical area and is by definition a microcell, which is to
be attached to an existing structure that is not a residence or school and does not contain a residence
or a school. A formal review and verification of the status of this project relative to SEPA review
will be completed at the time a formal application is submitted. If SEPA review is required, there is
an additional fee of $832.50. Fees are subject to change annually.
Nonconformance Thresholds — This project does not appear meet any of the conditions outlined in
FWCC Section 22-334 that would require the applicant to rectify existing nonconformances.
6. PWSF Development Requirements —City code requires a minimum five feet of Type III landscaping
to screen the fenced, ground -equipment enclosure. You can verify existing screening with photos of
the ground -equipment enclosure.
7. Prioritized Locations —Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-966, PWSF sites must be considered in priority
order. In your application, please include a feasibility study for locating in a higher priority location;
the BPA Trail in this case, and indicate why the higher priority location is not being proposed.
8. Development Standards — Building or structure mounted PWSF outside the public right -of --way must
meet certain development standards. I have enclosed a copy of the relevant FWCC section.
9. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-967, "Development Standards," ground equipment locations must be
considered in priority order. In your application, please include a feasibility study for locating
ground equipment in the existing equipment shelter at this location and indicate why the higher
priority location is not being proposed.
