Jim Ferrell, Mayor

The city is in receipt of your February 9, 2018, submittal for a Change of Use from health club to
laundromat. The site is zoned Neighborhood Business (BN) and contains a 2,400 square -foot building,
previously used as a health club. The request is to locate a laundromat in the existing building. Minor
tenant improvements are proposed inside the building. No site modifications are planned.
ZONING COMPLIANCE REVIEW
Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.15.025 addresses a change of use at a developed site as follows:
"19.15.025. Zoning and use review process for new tenants — Change of use at a developed
site. The purpose of this section is to review and determine compliance with applicable
zoning and development code requirements when a new use is proposed to occupy an
existing building or site. When a land use changes from one use category in the zoning charts
to another use category, a zoning compliance review shall be performed as part of the use
process review, when required, or in conjunction with the required business registration
and/or building permit review. Each paragraph in a zoning chart is a use category. If the new
use is in the same use category as any previous legal use of the site, no zoning compliance
review is required."
The existing and proposed uses are located in different zoning charts; therefore, a zoning compliance
review is required. Per FWRC 19.15.025(1), any new use shall comply with only those standards of the
use zoning charts that are directly related to the new use as determined by the director. Examples include
parking, use -specific setbacks, use -specific special regulations and notes, and nonconforming surface
water quality improvements identified in FWRC 19.30.120. Other nonconforming aspects of the site
which are not made nonconforming as a result of the change of use are not required to be brought into
conformance as a result of this subsection.
CHANGE OF USE ANALYSIS
The subject property is zoned Neighborhood Business (BN). Laundromats are a permitted use pursuant to
FWRC 19.215.010, "Office/Retail."
Use -Specific Regulations and Notes — No external changes to the existing building are proposed.

Parking Requirements
Table 1 describes the existing tenant space use and their minimum parking requirement of one parking

The submitted site plan shows 11 parking spaces, satisfying the laundromat parking requirement.
Setbacks — Required minimum setbacks for the proposed use in the BN zone are 0 ft. front, 10 ft. side, and
10 ft. rear. No additions are proposed; the existing building meets setbacks.
CLOSING
Any new use shall comply with only those standards of the zoning and development regulations that are
directly related to the new use. The proposed office is allowed in the BC Zoning District. The change of
use request is hereby approved.
Please be aware you must obtain a Business License approval through the City of Federal Way Finance
Department and building permits for site improvements as required by the Building Department prior to
occupying the subject property and operating the new office business.
If you have any questions regarding this decision, please contact me at 253-835-2638, or at
