09-104582CITY OF L Federal Way February 2, 2010 Mr. Jon Potter and Mr. Kurt Wilson Federal Way Village LLC PO Box 73790 Puyallup, WA 98373 CITY HALLFiLE 33325 8th Avenue South Mailing Address: PO Box 9718 Federal Way, WA 98063-9718 (253) 835-7000 www.cityoffederalway.com RE: FILE #09-104582-AD; CONDITIONAL APPROVAL Federal Way Village Extension Request, 33701 Pacific Hwy South, Federal Way Dear Mr. Potter and Mr. Wilson: This letter grants conditional approval to your request received November 20, 2009, for a two-year extension to the Process III land use decision for the above -referenced project. Land use approval for the Federal Way Village proposal, a 300,890 sq/ft commercial building development consisting of 156,290 square feet of commercial, 60,000 square feet of general office space, 70,500 square feet of multi -family residential, and 14,100 square feet of restaurant pads, was granted on January 11, 2008.1 A one-year extension to submit a building permit was granted on February 24, 2009.2 To date, a building permit has not been submitted. Pursuant to Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.15.110, "Lapse of Approval — Time Extension," the director may grant two-year extensions to the land use decision, subject to criteria. Your request demonstrates that the applicant has made substantial progress as the applicant was successful in a Washington State Department Local Redevelopment Financing award for roadway improvements. The City agrees that the economic climate has changed significantly since the time of the original approval resulting in a change in credit markets, which is a circumstance beyond your control. As the wooded site has not been cleared or graded, there are no conditions that create a code violation or an attractive nuisance. The property is posted for no -trespassing and is regularly checked by the Federal Way Police Department. While physical conditions in the vicinity of the project have not changed, the City has adopted new codes and standards that would substantially affect project layout, storm drainage design, impact fees, and concurrence capacity as discussed under FWRC 19.15.110(2)(d). In light of the extension request, Public Works staff has identified specific mitigation to address criteria (2)(d) of FWRC 19.15.110. The time extension is approved subject to the following conditions: 1. Stormwater quality treatment will be required on site and shall meet the standards that are in place at the time a complete building permit is submitted. 1 File# 07-100345-UP 2 File #09-100599-AD Wilson and Mr. Potter Febr wary 2, 2010 Page 2 2. In lieu of paying the SEPA pro-rata traffic mitigation of $1,048,700.00 for Phase I and Phase II improvements, prior to the issuance of a building permit the applicant shall pay a Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) as adopted by the City and applicable at the time. 3. In the event that the two year extension expires prior to issuance of all of the Process III related building permits, the applicant may be required to submit additional traffic related analysis (Concturency and Safety analysis) as determined by the Public Works Director. Unless modified or appealed, this two year extension of the land use decision will be valid until January 28, 2012. If no further action is taken by this extension deadline (action of beginning construction or submitting to the City a complete building permit application), the decision becomes void. FWRC 19.15.110 does permit additional extension opportunities that can be granted only if applicable criteria are met. In addition, extensions to building permit applications can be requested. Under FWRC 19.15.110(5), this extension decision may be appealed by any person who is aggrieved by this decision. The appeal must be in the form of a letter delivered to the Department of Community Development Services, and be accompanied by the established fee, within 14 calendar days of the date of this extension decision. Please contact Senior Planner Deb Barker, at 253-835-2642 or deb.barker@cityoffederalway.com should you have any questions about this letter.

Box 9718 Federal Way, Washington 98063-9718 Re: Federal Way Village — Request for Extension of Process III Decision Dear Deb: Thank you for meeting with Jon Potter and me last Thursday. As we discussed in our meeting, we request an extension to the Process III Decision as provided in Federal Way Code 19.15.110. Based on the City's letter of February 24, 2009 our approval extends until January, 28, 2010. The Federal Way Village approved master plan is phased over a five year period. We are requesting that the City extend the approvals due to present economic conditions. This would allow and extension until January 28, 2012 for Phase 1. The following addresses the extension criteria as provided in chapter 19.15.110. "(2) Application. No less than 30 days prior to the lapse of approval under FWRC 19.15.100 for substantially completing construction or prior to lapse of approval for any proceeding time extension granted under this section, the applicant may submit a written request in the form of a letter with supporting documentation to the department requesting extension of those time limits of up to two years." Comment: This request was submitted over 30 days prior to the expiration of the approval. "(2) Criteria. An extension request shall satisfy the following criteria to be approved: (a) Except for the first request for time extension, the applicant has made substantial progress to complete the project;" Comment: All City permit approvals necessary for the marketing for prospective commercial tenants have been issued. The preliminary plat approval for the townhome project was issued. Despite an active aggressive marketing campaign our listing agent, (First Western Properties) has not secured an anchor tenant enabling us to move the project forward. Similarly, residential builders are unable to secure development loans in the current distressed financial market._ (b) There are circumstances beyond the applicant's control which prevent compliance with the time limits of FWRC 19.15.100, or any previously granted extension; " Comment: Due to the national economic downturn, banks are not financing new development projects. Prior to the downturn, we received strong interest from two national retail anchors and we were negotiating lease agreements. We received an acceptable offer from a local builder interested in developing the townhome project. The anchors and builder all withdrew as a result of the economy. "(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; and" Comment: No code violation or nuisance exists. The property is undeveloped and no development activity will occurred on site until financing becomes available and only after grading permits have been granted by the City. "(d) Whether either physical conditions in the vicinity of the project or codes and requirements of the city, applicable agencies, and utility providers have changed to a such a degree since initial approval that it would be contrary to the public interest to extend the life of the project, including but not limited to such factors as: (i) Whether the adoption of new codes/standards would substantially affect project layout and storm drainage design;" Comment: No new development has occurred in the vicinity of the site. The property owners and the City entered into a Settlement Agreement and Covenant as part of a regional storm drainage project establishing among other things, the use of the regional detention facility for project on -site detention requirements. Hence, stormwater capacity is reserved. "(ii) The adequacy of mitigation and/or impact fees to address the cost of mitigation at the end of the expiration period;" Comment: The existing SEPA and permit approval conditions would not change as a result of implementation of current codes. "(M) Whether the delayed project is an impediment to other development projects in the vicinity as a result of traffic concurrency reserved capacity." Comment: No other projects would be adversely effected by the timing of the development of Federal Way Village. "The director may condition the extension request to satisfy criteria (2)(c) and (CO of this section as appropriate." Thank you for your consideration.

Way DATE: January 25, 2010 TO: Deb Barker, Senior Planner MEMORANDUM Public Works Department FROM: Sarady Long 56 __ SUBJECT: FEDERAL WAY VILLAGE EXTENSION REQUEST - (09-104582-00-AD) 33701 PACIFIC HWY S The Public Works Traffic Division has reviewed the applicant's request for a two-year extension of a Process III decision and provides the following comments. The MDNS for the project was issued in 2008 with one of the conditions requiring the applicant to pay pro-rata contribution of $1,048,700 towards 19 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) projects. In 2009, the City adopted a Traffic Impact Fee Program (TIF) (Ordinance 09-627) with an effective implementation date of July 1, 2010. With the two years extension, most of the projects identified for pro-rata share contribution would have been completed. As such, the Public Works Traffic Division hereby supports the two years extension subjected to the following conditions: In lieu of paying the SEPA pro-rata traffic mitigation of $1,048,700 for Phase I and Phase II improvements, prior to the issuance of a building permit the applicant shall pay a Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) as adopted by the City and applicable at the time. 2. In an event that the two year extension has lapped without all of the Process III related building permit issued, the applicant may be required to submit additional traffic related analysis (Concurrency and Safety analysis) as determined by the Public Works Director.
