RE: PROCESS I APPROVAL — Northshore Drive-thru Espresso
File No: 01-100363-00-UP
2140 SW 356th Street, Federal Way WA
Dear Mr. Andrews and Mr. Hauge:
L E
The City has completed an administrative review of the proposed Northshore Village
drive-thru espresso stand at 2140 SW 356th Street, Federal Way. The Process I
application is hereby approved based on the enclosed Findings for Site Plan Approval —
File No: 01-100363.
Please be advised that a building permit, plumbing permit and electrical permit are
required from the City of Federal Way before doing any work. You are also required to
obtain a sign permit from the City. Enclosed are the development comments from the
Building Department. Please review these for further development regulations.
This decision shall not waive compliance with future City of Federal Way codes, policies,
and standards relating to this project site. The effective date of this decision is
February 26, 2001. Pursuant to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22-356, any
-person who received notice of the administrative decision may appeal this decision to
the Federal Way Hearing Examiner by March 12, 2001. However, since you are the
only party of record for this application, you may waive your right to appeal. The City
must receive this waiver in writing. Waiver of the right to appeal does not effect the
three-day waiting period. Therefore, if you choose to waive your right to appeal, you
could begin work on the proposal on March 1, 2001, provided you have obtained the
necessary permits by that date.
Please find enclosed the additional technical comments from Joan Hermle of the Federal
Way Building Division, and Mary Young of Lakehaven Water Utility District.
A Process I application fee of $96 is now due (two hours at $48.00 per hour).
However, the $48.00 deposit paid at the time of application covers a portion of this fee.
Therefore, a balance of $48.00 is due and must be paid before obtaining a building
permit.
Sincerely,
Kathy McClung
Director of Community Development Services

Findings For Site Plan Approval
Northshore Drive-Thru Espresso
Application No: 01-100363
(253) 661-4000
Federal Way, WA 98063-9718
I. The applicant proposes to add a 14 x 8 foot drive-thru espresso stand building and
install required landscaping at 2140 SW 356b' Street, Federal Way. Zoning for the
subject site is Neighborhood Business (BN). This zoning district permits fast food
restaurant uses pursuant to Federal way City Code (FWCC) Section 22-753. The
proposal is subject to Process I, Director's Approval, as it does not meet the land use
process exemptions under FWCC Section 22-32.
2. The proposed addition of the espresso stand is exempt from SEPA review pursuant to
Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11-800, "Categorical Exemptions."
3. The proposal has been reviewed for consistency with all applicable zoning regulations
including FWCC Section 753 "Neighborhood Business, Fast Food Restaurant"; FWCC
Article IV, "Nonconformance"; FWCC Article XVII, "Landscaping"; and Article XIX,
"Community Design Guidelines."
4. Nonconformance: The proposal includes construction of an 8 x 14 foot structure to be
used as a drive-thru espresso stand building. Since this structure is considered an
expansion of gross floor area and is separate from the main building, the project must
meet all current code requirements in the geographic portion of the site where the
addition is proposed. This is achieved by installing landscape islands to separate the
drive aisles from the proposed future parking lot that will be installed in conjunction with
a future redevelopment project at Northshore Village.
The cost of the proposed improvements, other than tenant improvement and normal
maintenance, do not exceed 50 percent of the assessed value of the existing
improvements on the site. All improvements proposed on the subject site do not exceed
25 percent of the assessed value of all structures on the subject property.
5. Landscaping: The applicant has proposed two 40' long landscape islands to be -installed
on either side of the drive aisles. Pursuant to Community Design Guidelines FWCC
Section 22-1634(g)(2) these islands will be landscaped with Type III landscaping.
Foundation landscaping will be installed on the east and west sides of the espresso
stand. The landscaping island separating drive aisles and the parking lot shall be a
minimum six feet in width as required by FWCC Section 22-1567. Groundcover shall be
planted in all landscaped areas.
6. Parking: The existing building is 27,596 square feet of retail use space. The FWCC
requires 92 stalls. The site currently has 140 parking stalls. The proposed espresso
stand requires two stalls based on one stall per 80 square feet of fast food restaurant
use. The proposal meets minimum standard parking requirements, as there is sufficient
parking to meet existing uses and the proposed use. However, pursuant to Uniform
Building Code Chapter 11, section 1107, this development does require one fully van
accessible parking space adjacent to the construction. The site plan shall be
reconfigured to correctly accommodate the indicated disabled parking stall.
7. Community Design Guidelines Per FWCC Section 22-1632, subject applications for
remodeling or expansion of existing developments shall meet only those provisions of
design guidelines that are determined by the Director of Community Development
Services to be reasonably related and applicable to the area of remodeling or expansion.
Per FWCC Section 22-1634(g), drive -through windows and stacking lanes are not
encouraged along facades of buildings that face a right-of-way. The proposed espresso
stand has situated the drive -through windows and stacking lanes so that they are
perpendicular to 21-'t Avenue SW, and has therefore satisfied this element of the
Community Design Guidelines. Also, pursuant to FWCC Section 22-1634(g), the stacking
lanes shall be physically separated from the parking lot by Type III landscaping and /or
architectural elements. The proposed 40' long landscape islands separating the stacking
lanes and parking lot shall be 6' wide. Overall design continuity on the subject site shall
be achieved by using materials and colors that are similar to the existing building.
8. Pursuant to the Uniform Building Code Chapter 18, all structures to be occupied shall
have restrooms. The applicant shall provide an accessible restroom in the espresso
stand or provide written verification that an accessible restroom is in an adjacent
building on the same lot as the espresso stand and will be available for use.
9. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-395(b), and the forgoing findings, the proposal is found to
be consistent with the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan; all applicable provisions of the
FWCC; and with the public health, safety, and welfare, provided that the stated
conditions of approval are met.
