Re: Files #21-103294-UPV, 21-103295-UPIII, & 21-103298-SE; TECHNICAL COMMENT LETTER
WinCo Foods Expansion & Amendment to Concomitant Zoning Agreement & SEPA
160 SW Campus Drive Unit A, Federal Way
Dear Mr. Coombs:
The city has reviewed the environmental checklist submitted with the Use Process III and Use Process V application for the
WinCo Food Expansion and Amendment to Concomitant Zoning Agreement project located 3160 SW Campus Drive Unit A.
It has been determined that the proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. As a result,
an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required to comply with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). A copy
of the Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) is enclosed.
A 14-day comment period is required by the SEPA rules (WAC 197-11-340). A notice inviting comments will be published
in the Federal Way Mirror, posted onsite, posted on the city website, and mailed to all property owners within 600 feet of the
site and agencies on May 27, 2022. The city will prepare three Public Notice Boards that the applicant will be
responsible for posting on site by May 27, 2022. Further posting instructions and the notice boards will be available for
pick-up at Will Call at the Receptionist Desk on the 2nd floor of City Hall on May 23, 2022.
At the end of the comment period, the department will determine if the DNS should be withdrawn, modified, or issued as
proposed. All final determinations may be appealed within 21 days (July 1, 2022) following the comment deadline. No
licenses, permits, or approvals will be issued until completion of the appeal period.
Our decision not to require an EIS does not mean that the license, permit, or approval you are seeking from the city has been
granted. Approval or denial of the proposal will be made by the appropriate administrative or legislative body vested with
that authority.
After a final decision has been made on your proposal (i.e., after a permit has been issued), you may, but are not required to,
publish a Notice of Action as set forth in RCW 43.21 C.075. The Notice of Action sets forth a time period after which no
legal challenges regarding the proposal's compliance with SEPA can be made. A copy of the Notice of Action form and
copies of RCW 43.21C.080 and WAC 197-11-680 providing instructions for giving this notice are available from the
Department of Community Development.
The city is not responsible for publishing the Notice of Action. However, the city is responsible for giving a notice (to parties
of record) stating the date for commencing a judicial appeal (including the SEPA portion of that appeal) if your proposal is
one for which the city's action on it has a specified time period within which any court appeals must be made.
Questions regarding the environmental review component should be directed to me at
Chaney.Skadsen@cityoffederalway.com, or 253-835-2644.
Sincerely,
Chaney Skadsen
