Flow control and water quality treatment will be required as outlined in the 2016 King County
Surface Wafer Design Manual and the City of Federal Way addendum to that manual. A downstream
conveyance system nuisance problem has been identified downstream of this project. Previous
analyses are available for the engineer's review. If the same conclusion is reached for this project,
flow control requirements, which are currently at Conservation Flow Control level, will be increased
to Flood Control level. Enhanced Basic Water Quality will be required
• Public Works Traffic Division
■ Transportation Concurrency Management (FWRC 19.90) — Transportation concurrency
permit with application fee of $4,650.00 is required for the proposed project.
■ Traffic Impact Fees (FWRC 19.91) — Traffic impact fees payment are required and will be
assessed at the time a completed building permit is filed and paid prior to issuance. Based on the
2017 adopted fee schedule, the estimated traffic impact fee is $136,747.
■ Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135.040) — Construct half -street frontage improvements

DEPARTMENT COMMENTS
Outlined below are the comments made by the representatives of each department present at the
preapplication conference. Each section should be read thoroughly. If you have questions, please contact
the representative listed for that section.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT —PLANNING DIVISION
Becky Chapin, 253-835-2641, becky.chapin(�),cityoffederalway.com
I. Land Use Designation — The subject property is within a Neighborhood Business (BN) zone. A
self-service storage facility is a permitted use in the BN zone subject to regulations set forth in
FWRC 19.215.130.
2. Land Use Applications — The proposed self-service storage facility is normally subject to a Use
Process III, Projecttlpproval, review pursuant to FWRC 19.215.130. However, a similar proposal
(Northshore Heated Storage) was previously granted a Process III approval on January 7, 2013 (File
410-102248-UP). The approval is valid until January 7, 2018. Construction must be substantially
complete by this date per FWRC 19.15.100(2). There is opportunity to request an extension Pursuant
to FWRC 19.15.110.
There are two options to proceed with the current proposal:
1) Utilize the existing approval. A Site Plan Modification Approval (Administrative Decision) is
required to review the proposed changes, or
2) Submit a new Use Process III application pursuant to FWRC Chapter 19.65.
Modification to the existing approval will not extend the expiration date of the decision. A new Use
Process III application would afford the project additional time in accordance with code.
As discussed at the preapplication meeting, you would like to proceed with option one and modify
the approved Process III site plan. Pursuant to FWRC 19.15.090, a request to modify a Process III
approval must be submitted in writing to the Director of Community Development. The Director has
the discretion to approve those requests that are consistent with city codes and may require notice to
parties of record and/or adjacent property owners.
A Request for Administrative Decision form must be filled out and submitted along with a site plan,
landscape plan, elevations, project narrative, architectural narrative, and additional details as
necessary — please reference Use Process III Development Submillal Requiremel7ts Checklist when
preparing your plans and associated documents. (A Master Land Use Application is also enclosed,
should you decide to move forward with a Use Process III application instead.)
State Environmental Police Ael (SEPA) — A DNS was issued on May 3, 2011, for the Northshore
Heated Storage project and no SEPA mitigation was required. If no changes to the proposal that
would require additional environmental review are made, the existing SEPA documents can be
Utilized and no additional environmental review would be required.
An Addendum may be necessary if minor new information not included in the original SEPA
document is proposed and does not result in any new significant adverse impacts. The original scope
of the project was generalized and appears to cover the proposed project. The original SEPA
checklist, Staff Evaluation, and threshold determination (DNS) are enclosed for reference.

4. Public Notification — Pursuant to FWRC 19.1.5.090(3), for a request to modify an approved site plan
the Director of Community Development may require notice to parties of record and/or adjacent
property owners as deemed appropriate. The applicant will be required to provide public notification
pursuant to FWRC 19.65.070 for the Site Plan Modification.
Within 14 days of receiving the request to modify the approved site plan, a revised Notice of
Application will be published in the Federal Way Mirror, mailed to property owners within 300 feet
of the subject property, posted on the subject property, and placed on the City's three designated
notice boards. The applicant is required to submit one set of stamped mailing envelopes to persons
receiving tax statements within 300 feet of the subject property. The City's GIS Division provides
this service for a nominal fee or the applicant may provide their own mailing envelopes via King
County Assessor records or a Title Company. Refer to the enclosed mailing labels bulletin for
further information.
Fees — The City will charge an hourly fee for the Administrative Decision. At the time of submittal
you will pay for one hour of review fee + public notice fee. Additional hourly review fees will be
calculated at the time of completion/approval and required to be paid prior to building permit
issuance.
Please note that the building permit process is separate fi-om land use review and is subject to fees,
procedures, and review timeframes. You can submit a building permit application any time. No
clearing, grading, or filling actions may occur on site in advance of the land use permits, building or
grading permit, or other approval process as required by the City. Please contact the Permit Center at
253-835-2607 or permitcenter@cityoffederalway.com for up-to-date fees.

required landscape areas must be planted with Type I landscaping when in the side and rear
yard, and with Type III landscaping when adjacent to a right-of-way. In this case, only those
property lines adjacent to the right-of-way may receive Type III landscaping. All other property
lines must receive Type I landscaping.
For your information, per FWRC 19.125.50, Type III landscaping is a mixture of evergreen and
deciduous trees, large shrubs, and groundcover, spaced to provide a visual buffer creating a
partial visual separation and Type I landscaping shall consist of evergreen trees, tall shrubs, and
groundcover, which will provide a 100 percent sight obscuring screen within three years from
the time of planting.
b. Interior Parking Lot Landscaping— Interior lot landscaping per parking space is required in
accordance with FWRC 19.125.070(b)(1), "Parking Lot Landscaping." Type IV landscaping is
required to be installed at the ends of all rows of parking and disbursed throughout the interior
parking area, in the amount of 20 square feet per parking stall, or 80 square feet is required for
this project. The square footage of each interior parking lot landscaping must be depicted on the
landscape plan. Only those landscape areas that are adjacent to a parking stall will qualify as
interior parking lot landscaping.
Pursuant to FWRC 19.125.50(4), Type IV landscaping shall consist of trees planted with

land use application must identify how the proposal complies with the applicable design guidelines,
as outlined in the FWRC and as summarized below.
(a) Building Fa(ade Modulation and Screening Options —Pursuant to FWRC 19.1 15.060(2), al I
building facades that are both longer than 60 feet and visible frorn either a right-of-way or
residential use or zone shall incorporate at least two of the four following options for
modulating and/or screening, except, however, facades that are solidly screened by Type I
landscaping may use facade modulation as the sole option under this section.
■ Fagade Modulation — A minimum depth of two feet, minimum width of six feet, and
maximum width of 60 feet. Alternative methods to shape a building such as angled or
curved facade elements, offset planes, wing walls, and terracing can be considered,
provided that the intent of the section is met.
• Landscape Screening— Eight -foot -wide Type 11 landscape screening along the base of the
facade, except Type IV may be used in place of Type I1 for facades that are comprised of
50 percent or more window area, and around building entrances.
• Canopy or Arcade — Minimum length is 50 percent of the length of the facade using this
option. Canopy must extend a minimum of six feet outward from the building with at least
10 feet of clearance as shown below.
• Pedestrian 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. If this treatment is chosen, the
plaza should be clearly visible and accessible from South 348`" Street.
This requirement ivill apply to all sides (?f the project as all sides are visible from rights-of-tivay
and/or residential areas.
The above -referenced "two of four' options shall be incorporated along the entire length of the
facade, in any approved combination. Options used must meetthe dimensional standards as
specified above, but if more than two are used, dimensional requirements for each option may
be modified.
(b) Building Articulation and Scale — Building facades visible from rights -of -way and other public
areas, in addition to blank walls, should incorporate methods of articulation and accessory
elements per FWRC19.115.060(3). Some potential treatment options to consider are faux or
real windows at relevant scale to the facade, use of trim, material variations, texture changes,
overhangs, canopies, awnings, banding, etc.
(c) District Guidelines — The district guidelines identified in FWRC 19.115.090(1)(a-f) must be
addressed in the site plan and architectural elevations. Major elements of these guidelines
include, but are not limited to, the following:
Surface parking may be located behind the building, to the side(s) of the building, or
adjacent to the right-of-way; provided, however, that parking located adjacent to the right-
of-way maximizes pedestrian access and circulation pursuant to FWRC 19.1 15.050(4).
Entrance facades shall front on, face, or be clearly recognizable from the right-of-way; and
shall incorporate windows and other methods of articulation.
Building entrances shall be architecturally emphasized and shall incorporate transparent
glass.

• Ground floor entrances to retail sales or services shall incorporate plaza features or
furnishings, and/or streetscape amenities, in a context -sensitive amount and combination,
considering the scale of the retail use(s) and entrance(s) to the overall building or
development, and the proximity and access to other existing plaza or streetscape features.
• If utilized, chain -link fences visible from public rights -of -way or adjacent properties, and
not screened by Type I landscaping as defined by Chapter 19.125 FWRC, shall utilize
vinyl -coated mesh, powder -coated poles, dark color(s), and architectural element(s) such as
pole caps and/or decorative grid pattern.
All new buildings shall appear to have a roof pitch ranging from at least 4:12 to a
maximum of 12:12.
(d) Lighting— The lighting plan must be revised to provide the specific type of lighting used on
each building facade and parking area. Denote the height and candle footage of each light on
the plan, and confirm the associated wattage of lighting at the east property line. No glare is to
extend off the subject property per FWRC 19.105.030(3).
(e) Pedesirkin Access — A pedestrian pathway connecting the office to 215` Avenue SW sidewalk is
required. Pedestrian pathways should be delineated by separate paved routes using a variation
in paved texture and color, and protected from abutting vehicle circulation areas with
landscaping. Approved methods of delineation include: stone, brick or granite pavers; exposed
aggregate; or stamped and colored concrete. Paint striping on asphalt as a method of delineation
is not encouraged.
(f) Crime Prevention through Envii-077Mental Design (CPTED) — Implementation of CPTED
principles (Natural Surveillance, Access Control, and Ownership) for all new development
projects are a component of the city's design guidelines. The enclosed CPTED checklist must
be submitted with the formal land use application to be reviewed by Community Development
and Police Departments.
10. Garbage/Recycling — The project must provide trash and recycling facilities as described in FWRC
19.125.040(4) and FWRC 19.125.150. The trash enclosure area may not be located within landscape
buffer areas, must be screened according to the landscape chapter, and must be architecturally
consistent with the design of the primary structure on site. Refer to comments in the Public Works —

PM peak period to accommodate the proposed development. Please note that supplemental
transportation analysis and concurrency mitigation may be required if the proposed project creates
an impact not anticipated in the six -year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP).
The estimated fee for the concurrency permit application is $4,650.00 (1 1 - 50 Trips). This fee is an
estimate and based on the materials submitted for the pre -application meeting. The concurrency
application fee must be paid in full at the time the concurrency permit application is submitted with
land use application. The fee may change based on the new weekday PM peak hour trips as
identified in the concurrency trip generation. The applicant has the option of having an independent
traffic engineer prepare the concurrency analysis consistent with City procedures; however, the fee
remains the same.
Transportation Impact Fees (TIF) (FWRC 19.91)
Based on the submitted materials for 115,890 square feet mini -storage warehouse, the estimated traffic
impact fee is $136,747. Please note, the actual impact fee will be calculated based on the fee schedule in
effect at the time a completed building permit application is filed and paid prior to permit issuance
(FWRC 19.100.070 3(a)).
Street Frontage Improvements (FWRC 19.135)
The applicant/owner would be expected to construct street improvements consistent with the planned
roadway cross -sections as shown in Map III-4 in Chapter III of the Federal Way Comprehensive
Play (FWCP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) shown as Table 111-10 (FWRC 19.135.040).
Based on the materials submitted, staff conducted a limited analysis to determine the required street
improvements. The applicant would be expected to construct improvements on the following streets
to the City's planned roadway cross -sections:
SW 356"' St is a Minor Arterial planned as a Type "G" street, consisting of a 66-foot street with
curb and gutter, 6-foot planter strips with street trees, 8-foot sidewalks, and street lights in a
100-foot right-of-way (ROW). Assuming a symmetrical cross section, 8-foot ROW dedication
and half -street improvements are required as measured from the street centerline.
21" Ave SW is Principal Arterial planned as a Type "E" street, consisting of 64-foot street
with curb and gutter, 6-foot planter strips with street trees, 8-foot sidewalks, and street lights in
a 98-foot right-of-way (ROW). Assuming a symmetrical cross section. 19-foot ROW
dedication and half street improvements are required as measured from the street centerline.
The applicant may be required to dedicate additional right-of-way (ROW) to accommodate
additional turn lane improvements if identified in the transportation impact analysis and/or property
corner radius.
The applicant may make a written request to the Public Works Director to modify, defer, or waive
the required street improvements (FWRC 19. 13' 5.070). Information about right-of-way modification

requests is available through the Public Works Development Services Division. These modification
requests have a nominal review fee currently at $290 ($270.00 plus $20 recording fee).
4. Tapers and transitions beyond the project frontage may be required as deemed necessary for safety
purposes, taper rate shall be WS^2/60 or as directed by the Public Works Director.
Access Management (FWRC 19.135)
1. Access management standards are based on roadway safety and capacity requirements. FWRC
19.135.280 provides access standards for streets based on planned roadway cross -sections. Please
note that access classifications are per Drawing 3-IA in the Public Works Development Standards.
2. Please show all neighboring driveways within 150 feet of the proposed driveway(s).
3. SW 356"' Street and 21s` Ave SW are Access Class "3", which permits full access as close as 150
feet to any other street intersection or driveway, whether on or off the subject property. It appears
that the proposed driveway on 21" Ave SW will not meet the access management standards and
should be modified. The proposed driveway should line up with the retail driveway across the street.
4. Adequate throat length must be provided and shall be at least 40' from the edge of pavement or curb.
The throat length may be reduced for a one-way driveway with no potential conflict.
5. identify if the proposed driveway on 21` Ave SW is a one-way exit. Also, the proposed gate should
be relocated to ensure traffic will not impact traffic on 21 s` Ave SW.
6_ Access may be further restricted if such access would interfere with the 95`1' percentile queue lengths
from any existing traffic control device. Please note, the driveway on SW 356°i Street may be
restricted to right -in and right -out only if the City deems necessary.
7. The director may grant a modification administratively to reduce spacing standards by up to 20
percent of the tabular values with supporting documentation (FWRC 19.135200). Please note that
these modification requests have a nominal review fee of $290. Once preliminary traffic queuing
analysis has been completed, the applicant's traffic engineer may submit a written request for access
modification if desired.
8. For driveways that serve uses other than single-family residential uses and zero lot line townhouse
developments, the maximum driveway width is 30 feet for a two-lane two-way driveway and 40 feet
for a three -lane two-way driveway (FWRC 19.135.270). Driveway widths may be increased in order
to provide adequate width for vehicles that may be reasonably expected to use the driveway, as
determined by the Public Works Director.
9. The applicant must submit a Vehicle TwWifzg Diagram to the Public Works Traffic Division. This
diagram will show how the appropriate design vehicle (such as: Bus, Garbage Truck, and WB-62)
can enter, maneuver, and leave the site without encroaching onto opposing traffic lanes or mounting
a curb.

PUBLIC WORKS — SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING DIVISION (Rob Van Orsow, 253-835-2770,
3•o bvccityoffe(larahr,av_.com)
Solid Waste & Recycling Design Considerations
Solid waste and recycling design considerations for commercial or multi -unit residential housing include:
Space Required and Enclosure Basics
• Adequate space allocation for interior and exterior garbage, recycling, food waste, waste oil, yard
debris, hazardous waste, or biohazard collection containers. Minimum recycling space allocation is
established by FWRC 19.125.150 (enclosed). Note that this typically makes up only about 1/3 of the
combined space needed for solid waste and recycling containers combined.
• in general, per unit services costs are lower for larger containers emptied less frequently. Sites that
do not allow ample space for containers will tend to have higher service costs over the long term.
• Basic solid waste and recycling services can be accommodated within a single enclosure with clear
interior- dimensions measuring 10' deep by 20' across. A two -door swing -open or roll -open gate
should span the front of the enclosure. When gate doors are opened, no structure or hardware should
remain above grade across the enclosure opening. Gate pins/holes are preferred for holding gates in
both closed and open positions to ease service access and maximize the life of gate hardware.
• Sites may require a larger enclosure, or multiple enclosures. to accommodate on -site user access
and/or additional waste types and containers.
• Plan for user access to interior waste and recycling storage areas/containers, and convenient access
to exterior containers screened by enclosure(s).
Vehicle and Service Access
Plan for unobstructed enclosure ingress and egress for service vehicles, preferably in -line with enclosure
openings. Allow appropriate turning radii for service vehicles, and minimize potential 'blind spots' during
entry and while backing.
Screening Specification for Enclosures
Consider landscaping, setbacks and screening requirements; based on FWRC 19.125.040 (4) & (5).
Large Scale Projects and On -Site Waste Compaction
• Note that larger -scale commercial or multi -unit housing developments may see long-term savings
from the use of on -site waste compaction equipment. Planning elements for this equipment includes
larger enclosure dimensions, defined overhead clearances, power utility access, and drainage
managernent.
0 For grocery stores, restaurants, or multi -family facilities, "Self -Contained" waste compactors
are preferred over "Stationary" or "Break Away" compactors. Compactors may need to be
covered and connected to the sanitary sewer, since compacted wet wastes can cause leakage
and surface water nuisances.
+ Mixed -use developments may also benefit from on -site .waste compaction equipment. Additional
mixed -use development considerations include:
o Designated chutes and/or internal facility maintenance areas or services for tenant use,
o Movement of wastes and recycling items fi-om interior units to collection areas, and
o Enabling access by business tenants and/or residents to exterior waste and recycling
enclosure(s).

Dear: Becky Chapman, Cam` OF PC-DERRL WAS,
CDS
The site is located at the intersection of S. 356th Street and 21st Ave SW. Parcel number
2521039010. This proposal / project will consist of developing one parcel of undeveloped land
to accommodate three new three story climate controlled self storage buildings totaling
approximately 116,000 Gross square feet. All type H-B Construction. The mini storage will be
constructed of colored masonry block and metal exterior with metal doors, roofs, and patricians
on a concrete slab with in -floor radiant heat. The facility will have approx. 900 units of interior
and exterior roll up / commercial doors. Note NO exterior doors will be facing the residential
zone to the east and any doors facing the street will be screened from the street by walls or
landscaping.
Prior developers have recently worked on the site for proposed storage and recently had a pre
application meeting # 16-103870-00-PC. We have all of the city comments from the meeting
and the prior SEPA and Land use Application prior to that. Of course we want / need to modify
the site plan from the previous two to allow us to obtain a total gross building area to make the
project work financially with all the current issues and comments. So we are hoping to get a
final comment summary that are applicable with our new site plan referencing the prior
applications and if possible a level of confidence to determine if we will be required to do a
minor or major site plan modification. The use and site coverage is all the same (+/-). We are
now higher than before but the site flows a lot nicer and we now made room for more on site
water quantity and quality.
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal. We all are looking forward to working
with the city to make this a successful and desirable project for everyone.
If you have any questions or comments please contact me directly at 206 251-8445 or email
