The Department of Community Development has completed their review of the Accessory Dwelling Unit
(ADU) application submitted to the city on June 10, 2019. The'ADU application is hereby approved pursuant to
the findings presented by the department's Planning Division staff and the conclusions based on those findings.
FINDINGS OF FACT
The following findings are based on site, elevation, and floor plans received with the land use application on
June 10, 2019:
1. Proposal —The applicant proposes to construct a 3,700 square -foot two-story single-family residence and
792 square -foot detached ADU located on parcel 012103-9099, lot C of Boundary Line Adjustment file
number 15-106557-SU, AFN 2016092990000.
2. Zoning— The subject property is parcel C of Federal Way Boundary Line Adjustment 15-106557-5U. The lot
is 15,001 square -feet (0.34-acre) within the Single -Family Residential FRS) 15.0 zoning designation. The
proposal meets the minimum lot size requirement per Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19 200.190, Note 1.
3. Lot Coverage — The lot coverage of the principal dwelling, proposed ADU, and driveway is approximately
40 percent of the lot area. The proposal does not exceed the maximum lot coverage of 50 percent in the
RS 15.0 zone pursuant to FWRC 19.200.180, Note 6.
4. Floor Plan —The total ADi] living area is 792 square feet. The principal dwelling unit contains 3,700
square feet of livable area; therefore, the proposed ADU complies with the maximum allowable livable
area, which is 40 percent of the living area in the primary dwelling unit. The proposal also will not exceed
the maximum accessory dwelling unit size of 800 square feet (FWRC 19.200.180, Note 9).
5. Water & Sewer— The applicant proposes to serve the ADU with public water and sewer managed by the
Lakehaven Water and Sewer District. Lakehaven issued Certificates of Water and Sewer Availability on
November 15, 2016, and indicated the proposal will connect to an existing 8-inch sewer main and a 10-
inch water main that is located 40 feet from the site. These service connections and meters must be large
enough to service the new single-family residence and accessory dwelling unit. -
6. Required Yards & Height— The proposed attached ADU and the associated improvements meet the
required 20-foot front yard and 5-foot side and rear yard setbacks.

7. Owner Oawpancy —The applicant must submit a signed letter of application and deed restriction stating the
owner shall occupy one of the two dwelling units as a permanent residence for six months or more per
calendar year.
CONCLUSIONS
The following concl`usions.are based on the above findings of fact.
1. The proposal is consistent with policies of the Federal 1rlay Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposal meets density, square footage, parking, occupancy, and dimensional requirements of the
ADU Use Zone Chart within FWRC 19.200.180.
3. The ADU is designed to be subordinate and incidental in size, scale, and design of the primary dwelling
unit, and the appearance remains that of a single-family residence.
CONDITION OF APPROVAL

square feet, but shall not exceed 40 percent of the square footage of the primary dwelling unit, excluding
garage, workshop, and similar non -living areas. The unit shall have no more than two bedrooms.

RE: ADU on parcels 012103-9099 and 10203-9163 per Building Permits 19-102755 and 19-
102758
Mr. Onishchenko;
Per your letter to me on October 1, 2019 and your request to exempt ADUs from school impact fees, I
regret that we cannot do so at this time regardless that no children will live in the units.
FWRC 19.95.060 originally exempted ADU for a one-year period between 1995 and 1996. The "time
clause ("December 21, 1995, and terminating on December 20, 1996") still exists within the Code and we
are obligated to enforce that. We are, at this time, in the process of examining this requirement and
potentially removing the clause.
I am sorry that I cannot provide any more relief from this obligation at this time, but the Code will not
allow it.
Please call with any questions.
Sincerely;
obert "Doc" Hansen
