square feet that may be added to an existing or proposed single -story building(s) anywhere on the
site, in exchange for the specified uses and building forms:
(a) One thousand square feet may be added in exchange for each 1,000 square feet of a
principal use(s) contained in an attached or detached mixed-use/multiple-story building.
(b) Two thousand square feet may be added in exchange for each dwelling unit contained
in an attached or detached mixed-use/multiple-story building.

design criteria for public on -site open space set forth in Chapter 19.115 FWRC.
(3) Modifications. The director may approve minor modifications to the above formula based on
unusual site conditions or unique design proposals, provided the resulting project is consistent with
Ordinance No. 23-977 Page 16 of 147
comprehensive plan policies promoting urban -scale, pedestrian -oriented development in the city
center, and meets all other applicable development regulations and design standards.
(4) Exclusion from size limits. Those portions of a ground floor that are covered by upper floor
space, within buildings approved under this section, are excluded from the size limits of Chapter
19.80 FWRC.

development standards in the zoning code, this chapter contains guidelines that are intended
sere -written as performance objectives for developing the pp,-opr-: achieving siting and design
solutions for each development on each unique site.
Decisions under this chapter will consider proposals on the basis of individual merit and will
eneeiffage-allow for creative design aIten+ tive ;n erdor solutions to achieve the stated purpose
and objectives of this chapter. To further such creative design alternatives, and in recognition of
site -specific opportunities and constraints, decisions under this chapter may allow for limited
departure from any specific or numeric provisions contained in these guidelines, provided the end
result is consistent with the purpose s*4 of this chapter. Decisions under this chapter are
appealable using the appeal procedures of the applicable land use process.

benches, tables and other furniture, balconies, gazebos, transparent glass at the ground
floor, and landscaping.
(c) Pedestrian areas should be easily seen, accessible, and located to take advantage of
surrounding features such as building entrances, open spaces, significant landscaping,
unique topography or architecture, and solar exposure.
(d) Project designers shall strive for overall design continuity by using similar elements
throughout the project such as architectural style and features, materials, colors, and
textures.
(e) Place physical features, activities, and people in visible locations to maximize the ability
to be seen, and therefore, discourage crime. For example, place cafes and food kiosks in
parks to increase natural surveillance by park users, and place laundry facilities near play
equipment in multiple -family residential development. Avoid barriers, such as tall or
overgrown landscaping or outbuildings, where they make it difficult to observe activity.
(f) Provide access control by utilizing physical barriers such as bollards, fences, doorways,
etc., or by security hardware such as locks, chains, and alarms. Where appropriate, utilize
security guards. All of these methods result in increased effort to commit a crime and,
therefore, reduce the potential for it to happen.
Ordinance No. 23-977 Page 18 of 147
(g) Design buildings and utilize site design that reflects ownership. For example, fences,
paving, art, signs, good maintenance, and landscaping are some physical ways to express
ownership. Identifying intruders is much easier in a well-defined space. An area that looks
protected gives the impression that greater effort is required to commit a crime. A cared -
for environment can also reduce fear of crime. Areas that are run down and the subject of
graffiti and vandalism are generally more intimidating than areas that do not display such
characteristics.
(2) Surface parking lots.
(a) Site and landscape design for parking lots are subject to the requirements of Chapter
19.125 FWRC.
(b) Vehicle turning movements shall be minimized. Parking aisles without loop access are
discouraged. Parking and vehicle circulation areas shall be clearly delineated using
directional signage.
(c) Driveways shall be located to be visible from the right-of-way but not impede
pedestrian circulation on -site or to adjoining properties. Driveways should be shared with
adjacent properties to minimize the number of driveways and curb cuts.
(d) Multi -tenant developments with large surface parking lots adjacent to a right-of-way
are encouraged to incorporate retail pads against the right-of-way to help break up the large
areas of pavement.
(e) See FWRC 19.115.090 for supplemental guidelines.
(3) Parking structures (includes parking floors located within commercial buildings).
(a) The bulk (or mass) of a parking structure as seen from the right-of-way should be
minimized by placing its short dimension along the street edge. The parking structure
Ordinance No. 23-977 Page 19 of 147
should include active uses such as retail, offices or other commercial uses at the ground
level and/or along the street frontage.
(b) Parking structures which are part of new development shall be architecturally consistent
with exterior architectural elements of the primary structure, including rooflines, facade
design, and finish materials.
(c) Parking structures should incorporate methods of articulation and accessory elements,
pursuant to FWRC 19.115.060(3)(b), on facades located above ground level.
(d) Buildings built over parking should not appear to "float" over the parking area, but
should be linked with ground level uses or screening. Parking at grade under a building is
discouraged unless the parking area is completely enclosed within the building or wholly
screened with walls and/or landscaped berms.
(e) Top deck lighting on multi -level parking structures shall be architecturally integrated
with the building, and screened to control impacts to off -site uses. Exposed fluorescent
light fixtures are not permitted.
(f) Parking structures and vehicle entrances should be designed to minimize views into the
garage interior from surrounding streets. Methods to help minimize such views may
include, but are not limited to, landscaping, planters, and decorative grilles and screens.
(g) Security grilles for parking structures shall be architecturally consistent with and
integrated with the overall design. Chain -link fencing is not permitted for garage security
fencing.
(h) See FWRC 19.115.090(3)(d) for supplemental guidelines.
(4) Pedestrian circulation and public spaces.
Ordinance No. 23-977 Page 20 of 147
(a) Primary entrances to buildings, except for zero lot line townhouse development and
attached dwelling units oriented around an internal courtyard, should be clearly visible or
recognizable from the right-of-way. Pedestrian pathways from rights -of -way and bus stops
to primary entrances, from parking lots to primary entrances, and pedestrian areas, shall be
accessible and should be clearly delineated.
(b) Pedestrian pathways and pedestrian areas 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.

listed in FWRC 19.115.060(2) and (3)(b), to a degree that is appropriate to the
building size, scale, design, and site context, and according to the following
guidelines:
(A) Principal facades containing an entrance, or located along a right-of-
way, or clearly visible from a right-of-way or public sidewalk, shall
Ordinance No. 23-977 Page 44 of 147
incorporate a variety of pedestrian -oriented architectural treatments,
including distinctive and prominent entrance features; transparent glass such
as windows, doors, or window displays in and adjacent to major entrances;
structural modulation where appropriate to break down building bulk and
scale; modulated rooflines, forms, and heights; architectural articulation;
canopies; arcades; pedestrian plazas; murals or other artwork; and
streetscape amenities.
(B) Landscaping shall be used to define and highlight building entrances,
plazas, windows, walkways, and open space, and may include container
gardens, wall and window planters, hanging baskets, seasonal beds, trellises,
vines, espaliered trees and shrubs, and rooftop gardens. Landscapingshould
hould
not block views to the building or across the site. Foundation landscaping
may be used to enhance but not replace architectural treatments.
(C) Secondary facades not containing a major building entrance, or located
along a right-of-way, or clearly visible from a right-of-way or public
sidewalk, may incorporate facade treatments that are less pedestrian -oriented
such as a combination of structural modulation, architectural articulation,
and foundation landscaping.
(e) Mechanical Equipment Standards.
(i) Exhaust/venting, trash containers, and noise -generating mechanical systems shall
not be placed adjacent to pedestrian walkways in a manner that diminishes the
comfort or experience of pedestrians.
Ordinance No. 23-977 Page 45 of 147
(ii) Screening is required for all exterior mechanical equipment. Screening will be
placed on all exposed sides (except when a side or sides are immediately adjacent to
the building). All screening will be architecturally compatible with the building
architecture and will be at least as tall as the highest point of the equipment.
Commercial service and institutional facilities. Refer to FWRC 19.125.150 and
19.125.040 for requirements related to garbage and recycling receptacles, placement, and
screening.
(a) Commercial services relating to loading, serge, trash and recycling shall be located in
such a manner as to minimize their disruption to public circulation and minimize visibility
into such facilities. In addition, service yards shall comply with the following_
6) Service yards and loading areas shall be designed and located for easy access by
service vehicles and tenants and shall not displace required landscaping, impede
other site uses, or create a nuisance for adjacent property owners.
60 Trash and recycling receptacles shall include covers to prevent odor and wind-
blown litter.
(iii) Service yard walls, enclosures, and similar accessory site elements shall be
consistent with the primary building(s) relative to architecture, materials and colors.
(h) Site utilities shall comply with the following_
(i) Building utility equipment such as electrical panels and junction boxes shall be
located in an interior utility room or provided in an underground vault unless site
circumstances prohibit these approaches.
(ii) Site utilities including transformers, fire standpipes and engineered retention
ponds (except biofiltration swales) shall not be the dominant element of a provided
Ordinance No. 23-977 Page 46 of 147
landscape area. When these must be located in a front yard, they shall be either
undergrounded or screened by walls and/or Type I landscaping, and shall not
obstruct views of tenant common spaces, public open spaces, signs, and/or
driveway
(iii) Areas dedicated for utilities or service needs will be depicted on the site plan.
(i) Pedestrian Priority. Drive -through facilities are prohibited.
(5) Downtown architectural overlay T).
(a) Vision. Within the downtown architectural overlay, the City desires a northwest
contemporary style of buildings. To achieve this vision, buildings are expected to fill the
properties they are located on with little or no property uncovered by buildings. Portions of
the property uncovered by buildings will provide either thoughtful community_gathering
spaces or small, convenient parking necessary for successful businesses.
(b) Building architecture. Buildings shall have a simple building base, and flat roofs with a
cornice or similar architectural element designed with depth and detail expressingthe he top
of the building wall. Cornices or similar architectural elements shall be well detailed and of
significant proportions (height and depth) that create visual interest and shadow lines.
Variation and articulation shall be applied across the fagade both vertically and horizontally
to create rhythm and visual interest to break up the building mass and to create a more
interesting streetscape for pedestrians. This will help larger buildings appear less massive
and more humanly proportioned.
(c) Materials. The richness of color and texture inherent in the materials available in the
Northwest will be emphasized by layering and mixing cool and warm materials to create a
well-rounded palette. Cool materials include steel, concrete, glass, and white/gray/black
Ordinance No. 23-977 Page 47 of 147
brick. Warm materials include natural brick and wood. Materials like metal
and brick can be warm or cool as desired for contrast.
(d) Examples. Illustrative examples of northwest contemporary style in both picture and text
format are included below. The standards for building architecture have been presented as
lists of appropriate and inappropriate elements. This technique has been adopted to offer
designers some flexibility and creativity in building design, while providing a clear
expectation for architectural sty

a functional requirement
of a facility may be
allowed at the same
height as the primary
structure, provided the
director of community
development so�s
determines that the
facility and any related
supporting structures will
not significantly impact
adjacent properties.
5. The subject property
must be designed so that
truck parking, loading,
and maneuvering areas, -
areas where noise
generating outdoor uses
and activities may occur;
Ordinance No. 23-977 Page 123 of 147
and vents and similar
features are located as far
as possible from any
residential zone,
conforming residential
use, or natural systems.
6. The streets, utilities,
and other infrastructure in
the area must be
adequate to support the
proposed development.
7. No maximum lot
coverage applies. Instead,
the buildable area will be
determined by other site
development regulations,
i.e., required yards,
landscaping, surface
water facilities, etc.
8. For regulations
pertaining to outdoor
use, activity and storage,
refer to FWRC 19.125.170.
9. For community design
guidelines that apply to
the project, see
Chapter 19.115 FWRC.
10. For landscaping
requirements that apply

Chapter 19.125 FWRC.
11. For sign requirements
that apply to the project,
see Chapter 19.140 FWRC.
12. For other provisions of
this chapter that may
apply to the subject
property, see
Chapter 19.265 FWRC.
13. A reduction to the
minimum required
parking spaces may be
allowed provided a transit
station access and
parking study is
submitted as part of the
development application
for city -issued land use
approval to inform any
decisions regarding the
Ordinance No. 23-977 Page 124 of 147
reduction of parking. The
scope of the study may
include, but is not limited
to: the existing supply,
utilization, and availability
of publicly accessible on -
street and off-street
parking, projected
changes to transit
ridership, traffic (vehicle
trip generation), and area
parking availability likely
to result from any interim
or alternative station
access and parking
scenarios. The director
may grant, after
consultation with the city
traffic engineer, a
modification to the
minimum number of
parking spaces based
upon the result of the
transit station access and
parking study and the
approval criteria in
FWRC 19.130.080(2).

14. Provision of parking may be
phased consistent with a phased
parking plan included and analyzed in
the transit station access and parking
study. The phased parking plan must
specify the percentage of required
transit parking access to be
accommodated at the time of
certificate of occupancy issuance for
the transit station, any applicable
milestone years for provision of
additional parking, and the frequency
at which particular land use or
transportation conditions will be
evaluated for potential updates to the
phased parking plan. The phased
parking plan must be consistent with
the findings of the access and parking
study and the approval criteria in
FWRC 19.130.080(2). An agreement
shall be executed between the city
and applicant, prior to issuance of
building permits, to ensure station
access and parking services are
provided consistent with the phased
parking plan.
15. In general, surface parking shall
not be permitted. Surface parking
may be permitted if the director
determines that the proposed surface
parking achieves comprehensive plan
and/or subarea plan goals and
policies, and:
a. Structured parking cannot
adequately accommodate the
provision of limited purpose parking
such as ADA parking spaces, short
term parking spaces, and electric
charging stations; or
b. The proposed location of surface
parking is on land with low

c. The potential exists for the future
conversion of the proposed surface
parking, including parking provided in
accordance with a phased parking
plan under note 14, to structured
parking as part of a transit -oriented
development, public -private
partnership, or similar means of
redevelopment, and the applicant and
the city have executed an agreement
specifying the date when, or
conditions under which, the surface
parking shall be converted to
structured parking if no
redevelopment occurs.

16. Parking required by this chapter
shall be no more than 800 ft. from the
proposed transit station. The distance
shall be measured along a city -
approved pedestrian path from the
transit station entrance to the closest
public pedestrian entrance to the
parking facility. The director may
grant a modification to the maximum
distance between parking required
and the proposed transit station
based on consideration of how
pedestrian weather protection,
crosswalk improvements, lighting,
street trees, sidewalk width, and
wayfinding are able to facilitate
seamless access integration, as well as
the approval criteria of
FWRC 19.130.090. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the applicant may
enter into a shared parking
agreement with another property
owner to utilize existing surplus
parking on properties located within
800 feet of the facility, or where a
direct transit link (e.g. bus, shuttle,
etc.) will be provided between the
parking and the transit facility, to
satisfy a portion or all of the parking
requirement. Shared parking is
subject to the approval criteria of
FWRC 19.130.120. Shared parking is
not subject to the requirements of
note 15.
17. Project will be reviewed as a Class
I Essential Public Facility; refer to

Section 34. Chapter 19.245 of the Federal Way Revised Code is hereby amended to add a
new section 19.245.020 to read as follows:
19.245.020 Downtown architectural overlay.
(1) Applicability. Properties within the downtown architectural overlay are illustrated on the City
of Federal Way Zoning Map.
(2) Architecture. Buildings and structures on properties within the downtown architectural
overlay are subject to the specific design guidelines in FWRC 19.115.090(5).
Section 35. Chapter 19.110 of the Federal Way Revised Code is hereby amended to add a
new section 19.110.025 to read as follows:
19.110.025 Floor area ratio and units per acre requirements in the city center core.
(1) Generally. Many developments in the city center core (CC-C, are required to comply with
either FAR or units per acre of developable site area minimum and maximums, as provided in the
use tables for the zone. In general, FAR minimums and maximums apply when the project is non-
residential, and units per acre of developable site area minimums and maximums apply when the
project is residential.
Ordinance No. 23-977 Page 145 of 147
(2) Application of floor area ratio and units per acre to protects with both residential and non-
residential uses. For projects where the subject property will contain both residential and non-
residential uses and/or where there are mixed -use buildings, FAR or units per acre of developable
site area requirements shall be applied based on the principal use of each parcel within the subject
property. For example, if a project contains two parcels, one with a principal use of residential and
one with a principal use that is non-residential, the parcel with a principal use of residential must
comply with unit per acre of developable site area minimums and maximums based on the size of
the residential parcel. The non-residential parcel must comply with FAR minimums and
maximums based on the size of the non-residential parcel. If a parcel contains both residential and
non-residential uses and/or mixed -use buildings in such a combination that it is not readily
identifiable whether the principal use of the property is residential or non-residential as determined
by the director, the parcel must comply with FAR minimums and maximums based on the size of
the parcel, and need not comply with unit per acre of developable site area minimums and
maximums.
