RE: FILE #11-100542-00-AD; SITE PLAN MODIFICATION APPROVAL
Lamb's Gate Presbyterian Church, 29850 18'h Avenue South, Federal Way
Dear N1r. Korve:
The Community and Economic Development Department is in receipt of your request to amend the
Process IV land use decision issued June 28, 2005, granting conditional approval to construct a 7,687
square -foot church facility with associated improvements. A two-year conditional extension to the land
use approval was granted June 8, 2010. Due to the current economic conditions, the applicant has
requested a modification to the original site plan approval that will reduce the scope of work to a 3,200
square -foot church facility with parking to accommodate 24 vehicles.
DECISION
With authority granted by Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.15.090(2), your request to modify the
Process IV decision is conditionally approved. This decision is based on the following conclusions
drawn from the Planning Division's analysis of your request enclosed as Exhibit A:
1. The modification remains consistent with the city Community Design Guidelines;
2. The modification does not constitute a change of use; and
3. The modification will not substantially impact the neighborhood or the city.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
To meet building design and landscaping requirements set forth in FWRC 19.115.060(2) and
19.125.070(5)(b), respectively, the following conditions are required to be shown on the applicant's
building permit.
1. Applicant shall provide an additional modulation of at least two feet in depth and six feet in width
on the south fagade; and
2. Applicant shall provide Type I landscaping within the required perimeter landscaping buffer
along the north property line.
CLOSING
With the exception to Exhibit A and the conditions noted above, all other conditions and facts from the
Process IV approval and extension approval shall remain intact. Please be advised that this modification
decision does not constitute building permit approval. If you have questions or concerns regarding this

Exhibit A
Findings of Fact Related to Process IV Site Plan Modification
Lamb's Gate Presbyterian Church - File #11-100542-00-SU
The Planning Division presents the following analysis in response to the applicant's request for an
administrative modification of an approved site plan. Only those items requested to be modified are included
in these findings. This modification is a component of the original findings, conclusions, and approval of city
file #04-102452-UP.
1. Background — Due to the economic downturn and difficult financing environment, the applicant has
requested to modify the original Process IV site plan approval that will result in a smaller building
footprint and fewer parking stalls from the originally approved plan in 2005. The original land use
decision provided approval for a 7,687 square -foot church facility with 40 parking spaces. The
applicant has requested a modification to allow a 3,200 square -foot church facility and 24 parking
spaces. The applicant received a two-year extension for the land use approval on June 8, 2010.
2. Building Design — The proposed building contains the traditional architectural vernacular for places of
worship such as the rectangular shaped single -story building, with gabled roof and steeple. Dome -
shaped windows, lap siding, and visible trim work provide articulation consistent with Community
Design Guidelines.
The building's north and south facade measures 80 feet in length and abuts residential uses; therefore
the applicant is required to incorporate the "two of four" design options set forth in FWRC
19.115.060(2). The applicant will incorporate modulation and landscape screening to meet the
requirement. Staff will allow the applicant to increase the southern landscaping to Type H for the area
adjacent to the building. Also, the applicant will be permitted to reduce the width of the north landscape
screen to three feet in width as the perimeter landscaping will be augmented with higher percentages of
evergreen trees adjacent to the building, which will provide adequate relief. Planting schedules on the
final landscaping plan will be required to reflect these findings.
3. Stormwater — As a condition of the two-year land use approval, the applicant is required to design a
stormwater flow control and water quality system utilizing the 2009 King County Surface Water Design
Manual. The applicant will provide flow control by using a detention pond located on the western
portion of the site. Flow will be directed to the pond and discharged into an existing city conveyance
system within 18`h Avenue South. Additional flow control options such as pervious pavement will also
be utilized in the parking lot. Water quality requirements will be met via a Stormfilter to treat flows
from pollution generating surfaces. Final engineering plans will be reviewed for KCSWDM compliance
during the building permit stage.
4. Parking — The applicant has provided 24 parking spaces for a facility that will contain seating for 50
members. For this modification, the city used the International Transportation Engineers (ITE) Parking
Generation report for a basis of determining the adequate number of parking stalls. City staff has agreed
to use the 85t' percentile range for average peak period parking demand vs. seats on a Sunday with the
understanding that additional stalls will be provided for expected growth. This range would require 11
parking stalls to meet the 85 h percentile range and staff will require an additional 13 stalls for future
growth resulting in 24 total parking stalls at the time of Certificate of Occupancy.
5. Transportation — As a condition of the two-year land use approval extension, the applicant is required
to submit a concuirency application at the time of building permit submittal to reserve capacity in the
city system. The applicant is also subject to the Transportation Impact Fee (TIF). This fee will be
calculated at the time of building permit submittal and will be due at the time of building permit
issuance.
The applicant is required to construct frontage improvements along 18`h Avenue South consistent with
road section details adopted in the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. Construction plans detailing road,
gutter, sidewalk, planter, streetlight, and other required public improvements shall be submitted with
building permit.
6. Landscaping — The applicant is required to provide a 10-foot-wide Type III landscaping buffer around
the perimeter of the site. Exceptions to this planting are the geologically hazardous area on the western
portion of the subject site, which will be left in its natural state, and areas that will be augmented for
Community Design Guidelines and parking lot screening. The parking lot area will require 20 square
feet of landscaping (480 s.f.) to be provided within islands and bulbs. A final landscaping plan with
detailed plant schedule will be required as a component of the building permit plan set.
7. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) — Environmental impacts are similar or less than the original
site plan approval; therefore, the original Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) issued for this
project is adequate and does not require addenda.
Required Yards & Height — The proposed building meets the 30-foot front, side, and rear structural
setbacks. The existing single-family residence that will be used as a rectory meets detached dwelling
unit structural setbacks of 20-foot front, 5-foot side, and 5-foot rear. The building height appears to
meet the outright 30-foot limitation and will need further verification during the building permit review
stage.
Pedestrian Areas — The applicant has provided a six-foot pedestrian pathway into the subject property.
Additional pathways are provided from the parking areas to the building entrances. A plaza area and
widened pathway area is provided between the church and rectory buildings. Pedestrian areas meet
circulation and location site design criteria advised in the Community Design Guidelines.
10. Onsite Lighting — The applicant has proposed three -headed post lanterns seven feet in height placed in
pedestrian, parking, and circulation areas. Perimeter landscaping should mitigate any offsite glare
produced by the lighting standards.
11. Tree and Vegetation Retention/Replacement — The applicant is vested to the significant tree
ordinance, which requires 25 percent retention until replacement is needed. The applicant will remove 3
of the property's 12 significant trees resulting in no required replacement. Although the applicant is not
vested to the current tree unit per acre requirement, it is likely that newly planted landscaping in the
perimeter, parking lot, and base of building will result in a 25 tree unit per acre density.
12. Clearing and Grading — Grading of the site to accommodate the stormwater improvements, parking
area, and building pad will be necessary. A no disturbance zone on the eastern portion of the property
will be erected as the area is geologically hazardous and will remain in its natural state. A quarry sprawl
construction entrance, interceptor ditches, silt fencing, and sediment trap will provide temporary

erosion control during construction. Further erosion control measures (if needed) will be reviewed as a
component of the building permit.
13. Fire Protection — The South King Fire and Rescue District has indicated they will accept the
hammerhead turnaround with a condition that the building is sprinkled.
14. Water and Sewer — The developer extension agreement that was executed in 2006 remains valid until
June 2, 2013. The approval of revised water plans shall be required.
These fmdings shall not waive compliance with future City of Federal Way codes, policies, and standards
relating to this development.

RE: Lamb's Gate Church Modification —No. 04-102452-00-UP and 04-102456-00-SE. — Resubmittal
Dear Matt:
Thank you for providing us with a review of the Lambs Gate site plan revisions. Based on the comments you
provided, we have made some alterations to the initial submittal.
Building Design — The north building fKade has been modulated to comply with FWRC 19.115.060 (2). The
modulation has been added to the area around the fire sprinkler room entrance. The modulation will be a
minimum of 2 feet in depth and 6' wide. We have also updated the landscaping notes to indicate that the
landscape screen along the south property line, adjacent to the new structure will be upgraded from type 3 to
type 2.
• Operational Assumptions : The following are the corrected assumptions-
o The facility is being designed to accommodate 50 seats.
then 50.
o One Sunday Morning Service
o One Mid -week Service
o One Friday evening meditation meeting
o Church minister will reside in the existing home.
o No day care or school facilities are provided on -site.
The current total church membership is less
• Rockery height: The plan set has been corrected to show a lower wall height.
■ Garbage Enclosure: An enclosure has been added.
■ Lighting: Lighting has been added to the plan set. The client chose to utilize a pedestrian scale lighting
standard for the project. The light standards will provide illumination in both the parking and pedestrian areas.
■ Landscape Plan: We understand that a more detailed plan will be required with the building permit submittal.
■ BLA — We will submit a BLA application with the Building permit application.
PW — Storm Water / Soil: The geotech report will be included in Section VI of the revised TIR. Improvements to
18t' Ave. S were included in the basin area used in sizing the detention and water quality facilities. An inlet was
added along 18'h Ave. S to collect runoff from the road improvements.
• PW —Driveway :The driveway width has been increased.
• PW — Streetlight: The existing street light will be relocated as part of the frontage improvements.
• PW — Parking : The Applicant is proposing a 50 seat facility. As such, the peak parking demand for church
use is 0.21 vehicles per seat or 11 required spaces. These ara the same calculations approved with the original
proposal. The Applicant current proposal is to provide 24 spaces to allow for future expansion. We apologize
for the original confusion.
• Lakehaven Utility District: The Applicant has submitted water and sewer plans to the District for review.
Please let me know if you require additional information or documentation.

RE: File #11-100542-00-AD; TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMENT LETTER
Lamb's Gate Site Plan Modification, 2985018`h Avenue South, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Korve:
The Development Review Committee (DRC) has received your May 24, 2011, site plan modification
submittal. The original site plan approval (File 04-102452-UP) from July 2005 was granted a two year
extension that will expire July 25, 2012. The proposed modification will change the layout of the site to
accommodate a smaller building and fewer parking spaces' than what was originally approved.
The following underlined comments must be addressed prior to receiving Process IV site plan
modification approval. Additional comments are courtesy reminders and will need attention at building
permit review and construction stages as noted.
Planning Division — Matt Herrera, 253-835-2638, matt.hrrera@cityoffederalway.com
1. Building Design — Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.115.060(2) requires all building facades
in excess of 60 feet in width and visible from a residential use or zone implement at least two of four
prescribed fagade modulation and screening options. As the north and south facades are 80 feet wide
and visible from adjacent residential zones, please incorporate two of the four following treatments
into your building elevation and site plan resubmittal for the north and south facades:
a. Facade modulation. Minimum depth: two feet; minimum width: six feet; maximum width: 60
feet. Alternative methods to shape a building, such as angled or curved facade elements, off -set
planes, wing walls and terracing, will be considered; provided, that the intent of this section is
met.
b. Landscape screening. Eight -foot -wide Type II landscape screening along the base of the
facade, except Type IV may be used in place of Type II for facades that are comprised of 50
percent or more window area, and around building entrance(s). For building facades that are
located adjacent to a property line, some or all of the underlying buffer width required by the
landscaping chapter may be considered in meeting the landscape width requirement of this
section. Staff would consider this modification on the south facade provided the Type III
screen is increased to Type H for the portion abutting the south facade.
' The original Process IV decision granted site plan approval for a 7,687 square -foot church building with 42 parking stalls.
Mr. Korve
June 28, 2011
Page 2
c. Canopy or arcade. As a modulation option, canopies or arcades may be used only along
facades that are visible from a right-of-way. Minimum length: 50 percent of the length of the
facade using this option. Likely not an option as the building is obscured by the existing
building and setback considerably from 18th Avenue South.
d. Pedestrian plaza. Size of plaza: Plaza square footage is equal to one percent of the gross floor
area of the building, but it must be a minimum of 200 square feet. The plaza should be clearly
visible and accessible from the adjacent right-of-way. Plaza as shown would not qualify as it
is not visible or accessible from 18th Avenue South.
2. Operational Assumptions — As a component of the original site plan review process, several
assumptions were made to assess impacts to the surrounding residential neighborhood. Please verify
these assumptions remain valid or provide the appropriate correction in a written narrative
accompanied with your resubmittal:
a. Total ehursk Riember-ship of 1 SO- May 24 submittal indicated a membership of 50
b. One Sunday morning worship service
c. One mid -week evening worship service
d. One mid -week morning bible study
e. One Friday evening meditation meeting
f. One Saturday afternoon youth bible study program
g. Church minister will reside in existing single family residence on site
h. Church narthex is a fellowship hall and reception area
No day care or school facilities
3. Rockeries Height Limits —Rockery heights detailed on sheet 10 of 12 show walls measuring eight
feet in height. FWRC 19.120.120(2) limits rockeries and retaining walls associated with detention
ponds to six feet measured from finished grade to top of wall. Please resubmit sheet 10 with a pond
designed with walls no eater than six feet.
4. Garbage and Recycling Enclosure — The proposed site plan does not contain an area for
garbage/recycling disposal. FWRC 19.125.150 requires garbage and recycling storage areas be
incorporated into the designs for institutional buildings and located outside of 30-foot structural
setbacks. Receptacles are required to be screened with a fence or wall and landscaping. A minimum
of 65 square feet of space is required. Please provide a recycling enclosure on the site resubmittal.
Lighting Standards — The site plan does not incorporate lighting into the project area. FWRC
19.115.050(7) requires lighting in all loading, storage, and circulation areas. This can be
accomplished via a mix of pedestrian level lighting along walkways, lighting incorporated into the
11-100542 Doc. I D. 57921
Mr. Korve
June 28, 2011
Page 3
exterior building and lighting standards no taller than 30 feet in height with cut-off shields in the
parking area. Please resubmit the site plan detailing ligbLtinlzplacement and fixture We.
6. Landscaping Plan — Preliminary landscaping shown on the June 6, 2011 submittal, is generally
consistent with type and dimensional requirements by the landscaping chapter. The final landscaping
plan with detailed planting schedules will be required with the building permit set. Please note that
proposed lawn areas will need permanent irrigation systems with irrigation plans being a component
of the final landscaping plan.
7. Boundary Line Adjustment— Prior to Certificate of Occupancy, the applicant is required to
remove the underlying property line associated with the Jeanette Soundview subdivision via the
city's boundary line adjustment process. Please contact me when you are ready to apply and I will
forward the application materials.
Public Works — Development Services, Ann Dower, 253-835-2732, ann.dower@cityoffederalway.com
Further technical review of the engineering plans will be required during building permit application
review. Soils infiltration testing and determination of groundwater elevations will be required. Please note
that conveyance, flow control, and water quality treatment is required for the new impervious surfaces to
be installed on 18`h Avenue South.
Public Works — Traffic, Sarady Long, 253-835-2743, sarady.long@cityoffederalway.com
1. Driveway —The proposed two lane two-way driveway width of 24' is too narrow. Please increase
the width to 30'.
2. Streetlight — Streetlight should be installed as part of 18`h Avenue frontage improvements. Please
use Federal Way street light standards.
3. Parking — The method for parking demand is not correct. Per the ITE Parking Manual, the 85th
percentile Sunday Peak Period parking demand for church use is 0.21 vehicle per seat, 0.60 vehicle
per attendee and 13.79 per 1,000 sq. ft. GFA. Assuming as stated in the letter that there will be up to
50 patrons, the total parking demand would be 30 stalls not 11 stalls as specified in the letter.
Lakehaven Utility District — John Jensen, 253-946-5406, jjensen@lakehaven.org
The proposed plans dated May 24, 2011, are generally consistent with the proposed property layout
shown on the water and sewer plans previously submitted for Lakehaven's review in conjunction with the
referenced developer extension project.
The developer extension agreement that was executed in 2006 remains valid until June 2, 2013. The
approval of revised water plans shall be required. The developer should submit the revised water
plans to Lakehaven to commence plan.
Lakehaven would allow multiple buildings on the same property, under singular ownership, to use
one Double Detector Check Valve Assembly (DDCVA) or Reduced Pressure Detector Assembly
(RPDA) Backflow device. These devices shall be located near the water main and clustered with the
other water meters for the site. The meter(s) locations shall be determined by Lakehaven allowing
for 24/7 access. Each building will require its own water service and meter. Each building will
require completed the "Water Use Questionnaire" and service applications before service is granted.

3. Please note, before any on site building demolition can proceed, all existing water meters and
services must be protected from damage during the construction phase and any services that will not
be reused need to be abandon at the main.
4. The sewer services will be connected to the sewer main that extends along the southerly edge of the
project site. Each sewer service connection will require a completed "Sewer Use Survey" and a
sewer service permit.
Closing
When resubmitting requested information, please provide four copies of any reports and six copies of any
plans, in addition to the resubmittal form.
Pursuant to FWRC 19.15.050, if an applicant fails to provide additional information to the City within
180 days of being notified that such information is requested, the application shall be deemed null and
void and the City shall have no duty to process, review, or issue any decisions with respect to such an
application.

Thank you for providing us with a cursory review of the Lambs Gate site plan revisions. Based on the comments you
provided, we have made some alterations to the initial submittal.
• Setbacks — All proposed alteration are in compliance with applicable setback requirements.
• Driveway — The driveway has been relocated to allow for the required landscape area.
• Pedestrian walkway — Based on our email conversation, the walkway will remain in approximately the same
location as the previously approved design.
• Parking — We have attached a parking addendum to this resubmittal. Based on the previously approved
calculations, the applicant is proposing to exceed the required parking ratio.
• Building separation — The current configuration shows a building separation in excess of 20' .
• Driveway separation — We appreciate the Traffic Divisions acceptance of the current proposal.
• Lakehaven —The Applicant has applied for and received and extension of the utility agreement.
• Turnaround — We appreciate the Fire Districts acceptance of the current proposal. The building permit will
include provision of a sprinkler system as requested.
We have shown the location of required landscape areas as part of this submittal, but we have not provide a landscape

RE: Lamb's Gate Church Modification —No. 04-102452-00-UP and 04-102456-00-SE. — Parking Addendum
Dear Matt:
This letter is intended to update the parking calculations provided in the March 17, 2005 Traffic Analysis Letter,
prepared by TPE. As you are aware, the current Lambs Gate proposal is substantially smaller then the originally
approved expansion. As such the required parking has been reduced considerably. The applicant is proposing to
construct an approximately 3,200 SF church facility, 25 parking stalls, surface water drainage facilities, utilities and
landscaping. Although the overall site has not changed, the applicant is proposing to limit the improvements as much
as possible to keep the project on budget. The revised Church building will be located east of the existing residential
structure. As before, the existing home will serene as the residence for the Church Pastor.
In the previous analysis, the 1TE Parking Generation manual, 31" addition, established parking ratios for this type of
development ranging from 0.14 vehicles to 0.21 vehicles per seat in the 85"' percentile. The upper limit of the analysis
was 0.24 vehicles per seat. Assuming that the proposed church expansion will provide seating for up to 50 patrons,
and using the highest parking ratio, the applicant will be required to provide 11 parking spaces. The current proposal is
to provide 25 spaces. The 13 excess spaces may accommodate future expansion of the church facilities.
Please let me know if you require additional information or documentation.

Re: Lamb's Gate Presbyterian Church
Traffic Analysis Letter Amendment
Dear Mr. Lee,
RESUBMITTED
MAY 2 4 2011
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
CDS
Transportation Planning & Engineering, Inc. prepared the Lamb's Gate Presbyterian
Church Traffic Analysis Letter, April 25, 2002. The letter report discusses parking
demand for the proposed 150 seat church on page 4. The discussion identifies a
"National parking generation data for churches" as the basis for up to 65 parking stalls
required for 150 people attending the church.
The basis of the parking generation data was the Institute of Transportation Engineers
Parking Generation, 2" Edition, 1987, which was the latest edition at the time. Land
Use Code 560, Church/Synagogue had limited data For one independent variable, which
was Attendees on a Sunday. The average parking rate shown was 0.43 occupied
parking spaces per attendee. The average parking for 150 attendees calculates to 65
parking spaces using that data.
The Institute of Transportation Engineers published Parkin Generation, 3td Edition, in
2004. This report has substantially more data and two additional independent variables,
one of which is the number of seats in the sanctuary. The average peak period parking
demand on Sunday is reported at 0.16 parking stalls per seat and the 85`t' percentile
parking rate is 0.21 stalls per seat. The data includes six studies of churches with
approximately 180 to 240 seats, all of which have a peak parking demand of 50 stalls or
less. The parking demand per seat data is more reflective of the typical church that
rarely fills every seat in the sanctuary.
The proposed project has 150 seats in the sanctuary, or an average parking demand of
24 stalls and an 85th percentile parking demand of 32 stalls. The proposal is to provide
40 parking stalls on site. In my opinion, 40 on -site parking stalls are adequate for this
church. SAL -A-.

RE: FILE #11-100542-00-AD; RESPONSE TO INQUIRY
Lamb's Gate Site Plan Mod., 29850 18th Avenue South, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Korve:
City staff has conducted a cursory review of the modified Lamb's Gate Presbyterian Church site plan.
The applicant originally received site plan approval from the city's Hearing Examiner July 25, 2005. A
two-year conditional extension of the approval was granted June 8, 2010. The following comments reflect
the preliminary nature of the submitted site plan and are not intended to be a thorough technical analysis.
Planning Division — Matt Herrera, 253-835-2638, matt.herrera@cityoffederalway.com
1. Setbacks — The proposed building footprint meets church use required yard and geologically
hazardous area setbacks. The existing home that will be used as a parsonage meets single-family
dwelling required yard standards.
2. Driveway — The proposed driveway location is within the 10' Type III landscape buffer area. It
will be necessary to move the paved area to accommodate the required plantings and fencing
required along the northern boundary.
3. Pedestrian Walkway — A minimum six-foot walkway must be provided between the new public
sidewalk and the interior of the project.
4. Parking — An addendum to the prior parking study that addresses the planned number of
attendees and ITE methodology for number of spaces provided must be submitted.
Building Division — Scott Sproul, 253-835-2633, scott.sproul@cityoffederalway.com
The minimum 20-foot separation between the existing and proposed structures has been met; therefore,
no fire resistance rating measures are required.
Development Services Division — Ann Dower, 253-835-2732, ann.dower@cityoffederalway.com
Setbacks from underlying stormwater lines have been met.
Traffic Division — Sarady Long, 253-835-2743, sarady.long@cityoffederalway.com
The distance between the subject property's proposed driveway and the driveway on the abutting northern
residential property does not meet city separation standards of 150 feet, but will be accepted as an
alternative without the requirement of a formal modification procedure.
Lakehaven Utility District — John Jensen, 253-946-5406, jjensen@lakehaven.org
The developer extension agreement that was executed in 2006 remains valid until June 2, 2011. If the
developer wants an extension to complete the project under the existing agreement, a written request is
Mr. Korve
Marcpi 4, 2011

required. The approval of water plans originally submitted for the original project has expired and revised
plans will need to be submitted, reviewed, and re -approved before the project can proceed.
Lakehaven would allow multiple buildings on the same property, under singular ownership, to use one
Double Detector Check Valve Assembly (DDCVA) or Reduced Pressure Detector Assembly (RPDA)
Backflow device. These devices shall be located near the water main and clustered with the other water
meters for the site. The meter(s) locations shall be determined by Lakehaven allowing for 24/7 access.
Each building will require its own water service and meter. Each building will require completed "Water
Use Questionnaire" and service applications before service is granted.
Please note, before any on site building demolition can proceed, all existing water meters and services
must be protected from damage during the construction phase and any services that will not be reused
need to be abandoned at the main.
The sewer services will be connected to the sewer main that extends along the southerly edge of the
project site. Each sewer service connection will require a completed "Sewer Use Survey" and a sewer
service permit.
South King Fire & Rescue — Chris Ingham, 253-946-7244, chris.ingham@southkingfire.org
The fire district will accept the proposed turnaround with the condition that the new building is sprinkled.
Closing
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this letter. When resubmitting, please
use the enclosed resubmittal form.
