1. As depicted, the proposed development does not meet Community Design Guideline standards
for stacking lanes and drive through facilities in the CC-F zoning district. The code requires
that a building separate the right-of-way and the stacking lanes of the fueling station.
2. The retail kiosk shall be located no more than five feet from the adjacent principal pedestrian
ROW.

PLANNING DIVISION (Deb Barker, 253-835-2642, deb.barker@cityoffederalway.com)
A. Zoning, Use, and Review Process — The zoning of the site is City Center — Frame (CC-F). As set
forth in Federal Way City Code (FWCC), vehicle service station uses are permitted pursuant to
Process III, Project Approval,' when environmental review is required as in this case. Process III
includes the City's land use decision combined with environmental review under the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). Under Process III, the Director of Community Development
makes a decision based on criteria following the environmental determination.
Environmental Review is required for the project because of the size of the underground storage
tanks. An environmental checklist is enclosed. The comment and appeal periods that follow the
environmental threshold decision must be concluded before the land use decision can be issued.
The Director of Community Development Services issues the Process III and environmental
threshold decisions; which decisions can be appealed to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner. The
City's land use decision is subject to the statutory requirements pertaining to a maximum 120-day

review time frame and public noticing. The application is also subject to public notice of application
and of the environmental determination. Therefore, the application must be accompanied by a total
of two sets of stamped mailing envelopes, prepared in accordance with the City's requirements
addressed to all owners of real property located within 300 feet of the site boundaries 3 In accordance
with the City's procedures, all envelopes must contain the Department of Community Development
Services return address. In addition, a paper list of the addressees and an assessor's map with the
300-foot boundary depicted must be submitted along with the envelopes.
The proposed site for the station is part of the overall Safeway parcel, tax lot #150020-0020. If there
is a ground lease associated with establishment of the new service station, subdivision of the land
through a binding site plan (BSP) will be required.a Binding site plan requires land use review and
can be reviewed in conjunction with the site plan approval process. BSP applications of four or
fewer lots are exempt from SEPA. All required improvements are required to be installed, inspected,
and approved prior to recording of the BSP. Alternatively, relocation of existing lot lines may be
reviewed as a Boundary Line Adjustment (BLA) s The BLA also requires land use review and can
be reviewed in conjunction with the site plan approval process.
The formal application must be prepared in accordance with the City's Process III Development
Application Submittal Requirements checklist (enclosed) and must be accompanied by the
appropriate fees. Current land use application fees for the proposal(s) are:
Process III $2,129.00
SEPA $ 843.50
Binding Site Plan $2,002.50
Boundary Line Adjustment $1,249.50
Expedited review is available for all project components at additional cost to be determined by
outside consultants. Refer to the enclosed handout on expedited review.6
B. Nonconformance — Article IV of the FWCC establishes when and under what circumstances non-
conforming aspects of a use or development must be brought into conformance with the zoning
code. Pursuant to FWCC Section 22-334(3)(b), "Increase in Gross Floor Area," if a new and
separate structure is constructed on an already developed site, the applicant shall comply with all
development regulations applicable to the geographic portion of the site.
The northwest portion of the lot is generally in conformance with Safeway site plan approval issued
in November 1996 with the exception of the pedestrian walkway from South 320"i Street, as
discussed below, and which must be brought up to current code standards with the proposed
development.
C. Development Regulations — The following table outlines the applicable land use development
regulations of FWCC Section 22-807 and FWCC 22-804 with corresponding staff comments.

following criteria: (b) surface parking and driving
areas may not occupy more than 40% of the project's
linear frontage along principal pedestrian rights -of -
way as determined by the Director; and (c) a greater
amount of parking and driving areas may be located
along other rights -of -way provided that the parking is
not the predominant use along such rights -of -way.
22-1638(c)(2): Principal entrance facades shall front
on, face, or be clearly recognizable from the right-of-
way and/or from the principal pedestrian ROW, as
determined by the Director for projects exposed to
more that one right-of-way.
22-1638(c)(3): Building facades shall incorporate a
combination of fagade treatment options listed in 22-
1635(b) and (c), to an appropriate degree and
according to the following guidelines: (a) Principal
facades containing major entrance or located along a
ROW shall incorporate a variety of pedestrian oriented
architectural treatment, including distinctive and
prominent entrance features, transparent glass, etc. At
least 40% of any ground level principal fagade located
along a ROW must contain transparent glass.
The design guidelines look for a variety of fagade
treatments overall, such as modulation, articulation,
and change in materials, colors, and textures, and
design continuity throughout the project. Provide
overall design continuity by using similar architectural
style and features, materials, colors, and textures
between buildings.
Drive through and stacking lanes shall not be located
along, or in conjunction with a building fagade that
faces or is clearly visible from a rights -of -way, public
sidewalk, or pedestrian plaza. Such facilities shall be
located along other secondary facades, as determined
by the Director and shall meet separation screening
and design standards of FWCC Section 22-1634
(g)(2)(b, c, and d)_ The stacking lane shall be
physically separated from the parking lot, sidewalk,
and pedestrian areas by Type III landscaping and/or
architectural element or combination thereof. By-pass
lanes are recommended, and drive through speakers
shall not be audible off site.
site plan depicts surface parking and driving
areas along 76 feet (42%) of the frontage.
The amount of parking and driving areas
must be reduced to no more than 40%.
Driving areas occupy 70% of 11 `h Place,
which is also a principal pedestrian ROW,
and which also must be reduced by the
inclusion of landscape or building areas.
Refer to "Yellow" highlighted area on the
site plan SA-1.2.
The kiosk is adjacent to South 32e Street,
and contains a single door and window along
the South 320`h Street fagade. This entry is
less transparent than the entry facing the
fueling pumps, and as a principal entry
fagade, must contain additional features that
define it as the principal entry into the retail
kiosk, including 40% of the fagade
established in transparent glass, and other
features as identified in FWCC Section 22-
1638(c)(3)(a).
While the proposed screening wall meets the
definition of a structure, it does not contain a
use or contain a facade and does not meet
the intent of the FWCC for a feature located
along the ROW in this CC-F zoning district.
The fueling station canopy shall be
modulated horizontally as well as vertically.
Insure that the color, form, and material
elements used in the Safeway store are
incorporated into the canopy and kiosk.
Submit a colors and materials board along
with (or prior to) formal application and
include color rendering of the Safeway
Store.
The vehicle service station drive through and
stacking lanes are located behind the retail
kiosk, which is visible from the South 320ei
ROW and associated public sidewalk. This
meets the intent of the FWCC for the north
side of the fueling station. Eliminate the wall
on South 320`h Street.
However, the vehicle service station drive
through and stacking lanes are located
behind a CMU wall of unknown height that
is visible from the 11`h Place South right-of-
way and associated public sidewalk. The
wall does not establish a building fagade
along the 11`h Place right-of-way and would
not meet the intent of the FWCC. A building
is required between the fueling facility and
the right-of-way along I Ph consistent with
South 320`' Street.

Land Use Issues — Stormwater
Surface water quality treatment will be required per the 1998 King County Surface Water Design
Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of Federal Way Addendum to the 1998 KCSWDM. This project
meets the requirements for a Targeted Drainage Review (TDR), under TDR categories 2 and 3. At
the time of land use site plan submittal, a preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR),
addressing the relevance of the project to the eight core and five special requirements of the
KCSWDM will be required. A Level 1 downstream analysis shall also be provided in the

preliminary TIR. The City has 1" = 100', five-foot contour planimetric maps that may be used for
basin analysis.
2_ The project also lies within a Resource Stream Water Quality Protection Area. Water Quality
Treatment shall be designed to meet the treatment criteria of the Resource Stream Protection Water
Quality Menu.
3. The project displays characteristics of a High -Use Site, as defined in the 1998 King County Surface
Water Design Manual. As such, additional water quality treatment (oil control) for high -use sites is
required.
4. In addition to the KCSWDM, our initial review suggests that FWCC Section 22-337,
"Nonconforming Water Quality Improvements" applies to this site. Specifically, the following items
are applicable:
1.c. Redevelopment which involves the repair or replacement of 5,000 square feet or more of an
impervious surface, when such redevelopment is not part of a routine maintenance activity;
Lf. Redevelopment which involves a change in use, and the changed use has a potential to release a
new pollutant(s) to surface water systems within the City. For the purposes of this subsection, "new
pollutant(s)" means a pollutant that was not discharged at that location immediately prior to the
change in use, as well as a pollutant that was discharged in less quantities immediately prior to the
change in use;
Therefore, water quality treatment will be required for the entire site, including new and existing
pollution generating impervious surfaces. Treatment options must be selected from the Resource
Stream Water Quality Menu provided in the KCSWDM.
Show the proposed location and dimensions of the proposed water quality facilities on the
preliminary plans.
6. If more than one acre will be disturbed during construction, a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit may be required. Information regarding this permit can be
obtained form the Washington State Department of Ecology at
hLtp://www.ecy.wa.g2y/aro amslseal aclindex.html, or by calling 360-407-6437.
Right -of -Way Improvements
See the Traffic Division comments from Sarady Long, Traffic Engineer, for traffic related items.
2. If dedication of additional right-of-way is required to install street frontage improvements, the
dedication shall be conveyed to the City through a statutory warranty deed. The dedicated area must
have clear title prior to recording.
3. If street frontage improvements are required, all stormwater treatment and detention requirements
outlined above will be applied to any new impervious area within the public right-of-way.

Building Permit Issues (Public Works)
Engineered plans are required for clearing, grading, road construction, and utility work. Plans must
be reviewed and approved by the City. Engineering review fees are $730.00 for the first 12 hours of
review, and $61 per hour for additional review time. A final TIR shall be prepared for the project
and submitted with the engineering plans. Both the TIR and the plans will require the signature/seal
of a professional engineer registered/licensed in the State of Washington.
2. The Federal Way Development Standards Manual (including standard detail drawings, standard
notes, and engineering checklists) is available on the City's website at www.ci!yoffederalwgy.com to
assist the applicant's engineer in preparing the plans and TIR.
Bonding is required for all improvements associated with the project. The bond amount shall be 120
percent of the estimated costs of the improvements. An administrative fee deposit will need to
accompany the bond to cover any possible legal fees in the event the bond must be called. Upon
completion of the installation of the improvements, and final approval of the Public Works
Inspector, the bond will be reduced to 30 percent of the original amount and held for a two-year
maintenance period.
4. The developer will be responsible for the maintenance of all storm drainage facilities (including the
detention and water quality facilities) and street systems during the two-year maintenance period.
During that time, the Public Works Inspector will make periodic visits to the site to ensure the
developer's compliance with the maintenance requirements. Upon satisfactory completion of the
two-year maintenance period, the remainder of the bond will be released. Maintenance for private
drainage facilities remain the responsibility of the individual property owners.
5. When topographic survey information is shown on the plans, the vertical datum block shall include
the phrase "DATUM: N.G.V.D.-29" or "DATUM: K.C.A.S.," on all sheets where vertical elevations
are called out.
6. Drawings submitted for plan review shall be printed on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" paper. All final
approved drawings shall be drafted/plotted on 24" x 36" or 22" x 34" mylar sheet with permanent
black ink. Site plans shall be drawn at a scale of l " = 20', or Iarger. Architectural scales are not
permitted on engineering plans.
7. Provide cut and fill quantities on the clearing and grading plan. Erosion control measures, per
Appendix D, 1998 KCSWDM, must be shown on the engineering plans.
8. The site plan shall show the location of any existing and proposed utilities in the areas affected by
construction.

weekday PM peak hour trips. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by an engineer licensed in
the state of Washington is required to assess project impacts and determine mitigation measures.
Four final copies of the analysis must be stamped and submitted to the City.
Street Frontage Improvements
2. Based on available King County records and the submitted materials, it appears that this submitted
proposal would not exceed the 25 percent threshold ($1.625 million) for criteria for requiring street
frontage improvements or ROW dedication as identified in FWCC Section 22-1473. It should also
be noted that if the applicant would like to pursue a BSP or BLA for this project, street frontage
improvements and/or pro-rata share contribution would be required.
Access and Traffic Circulation
3. Access management standards are based on roadway safety and capacity requirements. FWCC
Section 22-1543 provides access standards for streets based on planned roadway cross -sections.
Please note that access classifications are per Drawing 3-1A in the Public Works Development
Standards.
4. South 320`h Street is Access Class "1", which limit access to right-in/right-out with driveway spacing
of 150 feet to any other street intersection driveway, whether on or off the subject property. Left -in
may be permitted at 330-foot spacing if such access would not interfere with the 95`' percentile
queue lengths from any traffic control devices. The existing westerly driveway on South 320"' Street
does not meet current access management standards and may be restricted to left -in and right -in and
right -out only. A raised channelization or approved alternatives should be constructed to restrict left -
out maneuver.
5. The applicant's engineer needs to submit a Vehicle Turning Diagram to the Public Works Traffic
Division. This diagram will show how the appropriate design vehicle (Bus, Fueling Truck, and WB-
62) can enter, maneuver, and leave the site without encroaching onto opposing traffic lanes or
mounting a curb.

Separate permits may be required for electrical, mechanical, plumbing, fire suppression systems, and
signs. Applicants may apply for separate permits at any time prior to commencement of construction.
When required, special inspections shall be performed by WABO approved agencies or by agencies
approved by the building official prior to permit issuance. Construction must be approved by all
reviewing departments prior to final building division inspection.
All concerned departments (Planning, Public Works, Electrical, Fire) must sign off before the Building
Department can final the structure for occupancy. Building final must be approved prior to the issuance of
a Certificate of Occupancy. The City of Federal Way does not issue temporary Certificate of
Occupancies.
All construction projects may be required to have a pre -construction conference. If a pre -con meeting is
required, all subs, the general or representative, the architect or representative, the engineer or
representative, electrical contractor and any other interested party, should attend this meeting. Meetings
will occur at the Building Department and will be scheduled by the inspector of record for the project.
Site -Specific Requirements
• Building permits are required for both structures.
■ The canopy is required to be non-combustible, per IBC 406.1.3
The information provided is based on limited plans and information. The comments provided are
not intended to be a complete plan review and further comments are possible at time of building
permit plan review.
LAKEHAVEN UTILITY DISTRICT (Brian Asbury, 253-946-5407, basbury@lakehaven.org)
Water
* A preliminary review of the applicant's proposal does not indicate the need for any new public water
facilities; however, if additional hydrants or other fire protection system are required or indicated, a
developer extension agreement will be required to construct new water distribution facilities
necessary for the proposed development. Additional detail and/or design requirements can be
obtained from Lakehaven by submitting a separate application to Lakehaven for either a pre -design
meeting or a developer extension agreement_ If necessary, Lakehaven encourages the owner to apply
06-102572 Doc I.D. 36543
Mr. Hall
Page 12
July 5, 2006
for either of these processes early in the pre-design/planning phase to avoid delays in overall project
development.
An existing irrigation service is proposed to be 'converted' to the non-residential service meter for
the gas station. Lakehaven does not allow "deduct" services/meters, so a separate meter for irrigation
purposes would be required if the applicant intends to irrigate any landscaping in the area. Written
permission from the property owner would be required to make this service 'conversion'.
Additionally, proper meter sizing will need to be performed for the new gas station and, if proposed,
for an irrigation service as well. Please refer to the enclosed service connection application checklist
and application form for additional information and requirements.
Owner will be required to complete and submit a Water Use Questionnaire. Information in the WUQ
will be used by Lakehaven to determine specific backflow prevention requirements.
Sewer
* A side sewer permit will be required for any new connection to the sanitary sewer system or any
modification to the existing side/building sewer, in accordance with standards defined in
Lakehaven's current 'Fees and Charges Resolution'. Minimum slope for gravity side/building sewers
is 2%. If the slope requirement cannot be met, a private grinder pump system would be acceptable.
In addition to all other side sewer installation standards, installation of a Type 1, 48" monitoring
manhole is required on the private building sewer line for all non-residential connections.
It appears the new sewer connection could be made in at least two ways other than a direct
connection into a public manhole in 13`h Avenue South as proposed. To avoid excavation into 13a`
Avenue South and additional ROW restoration costs: 1) make a gravity connection into an existing
private, on -site sewer mainline located along the south side of the Safeway store; or 2) make a low-
pressure (private, grinder pump system) into an existing public manhole on the west margin of 13`h
Avenue South, using bore construction for the smaller diameter, grinder pump discharge line/side
sewer. Connection into an existing, gravity side sewer stub located west of the central portion of the
Safeway store, as discussed at the preapplication meeting, does not appear to be an option because
the pipe size appears to be four -inch (4") diameter (min. 6" diameter required for non-residential,
gravity building/side sewers). Please refer to the enclosed record drawings and side sewer permits
for additional information.
Owner will be required to complete and submit a Sewer Use Survey. Information in the SUS will be
used by Lakehaven to determine specific pretreatment requirements.
General
* Lakehaven's Capital Facilities Charges are calculated on the basis of Equivalent Residential Units
(ERU). Residential equivalency for non-residential connections will be estimated based on
anticipated water use (1 ERU = 255 gallons per day for water and 220 gallons per day for sewer).
Owner will be required to provide a reliable estimate of proposed water consumption (commercial
and irrigation) for the property (information from a similar facility may be submitted in lieu of a new
estimate). Lakehaven's 2006 Capital Facilities Charges are $3,196/ERU for water and $2,768/ERU
for sewer.
For any proposed change or increase in usage beyond the level of the water and/or sewer system
capacity previously purchased for the property(ies), Lakehaven researches prior system capacity
06-102572
Doc. 1.D 36543
Mr. Hall

charges paid, if any, and evaluates the subject property(ies) for the existence of any available credits
and determination of a capacity base level' for the subject property(ies). For any new or modified,
non-residential connections sought after December 31, 2004, Lakehaven will assess additional
Capital Facilities Charges (CFC) to property owners, where increased usage of the water and/or
sewer systems beyond the property's base level', including increases attributable to usage associated
with existing service(s), is indicated based on owner's submittal of estimated water consumption
figures. Additionally, Lakehaven will levy, and the owner shall pay, a capacity rental charge for
capacity utilized, based on water consumption records, during a usage monitoring period (not to
exceed five years) above the level of capacity available following payment of any additional CFC.
The owner has the option to make full purchase of any system capacity deficit at any time.
All comments herein are valid for one (1) year and are based on the proposal(s) submitted and
Lakehaven's current regulations and policies. Any change to either the development proposal(s) or
Lakehaven's regulations and policies may affect the above comments accordingly.

Statement of Proposed Use
Safeway Fueling Facility
1207 South 320th Street
Federal Way, WA 98002
MAY 2 2 2006
CITY OF FEDERAL MN y
BUILDING DBpT,
As part of the pre -application conference submittal documents a statement of
proposed uses for all structures must be prepared. The following is a brief
narrative of this facility and its intended use.
Existing structures
Existing structures include approx. 113,584 sq. ft. Safeway and other space an
approx. 4147 sq. ft. Boston Market. No alterations to these structures will be
included within the permit submittal. The remaining lot area is used for vehicle
parking and will incur no modifications other than area designated for demolition
and construction of the new fueling facility.
Proposed structures
The primary structures planned for this facility are the fueling canopy and a 464
sq. ft. convenience store. The canopy will be constructed primarily of structural
steel and light gauge steel for the canopy fascia and deck. Under the canopy, (6)
multi product dispensers are planned for dispensing four grades of fuel including
diesel. As with other gas stations, it is intended for the general motorist, large
commercial vehicles would not be ideal other than for product delivery.
Complete structural drawings of canopy will be provided as part of the permit
submittal and will be prepared by structural engineer registered in the State of
Washington.
The primary use of the convenience store is to provide a point of transaction for
the commercial sale of fuel and food merchandise. The store will also
accommodate general purpose uses for its employees. These include
equipment, electrical and utility room and an employee only restroom. Complete
architectural, structural, electrical and mechanical drawings for the kiosk will be
provided as part if the permit submittal and will be prepared by an architect and
engineers registered in the State of Washington.
3 underground storage tanks (UST) will be installed for storage of petroleum
products. The tanks include (1) 20,000 gal/2 compartment tank for product.
Additional structures will include a screening wall to satisfy development
requirements set by the Federal Way Municipal code, and a trash enclosure to
store weekly debris generated from facility use. The convenience store hours are
typically open 6AM to 11 PM, but the pay at pumps will operate 24 hours a day.
Additional safety items will also. These include a pay telephone, emergency shut
off switches and leak sensors plus air and water service.

BUILDING DEPT.
Due to regulations set by the Federal way City Code (FWCC), and out location within the CC-F
zone, we have been directed to screen service station stacking from South 320th Street and 11th
Place South.
Screening
The preliminary site plan was designed in response to the vehicular screening requirements set
forth by the City of Federal Way. The screen wall will be composed primarily of CMU that will
match that of the existing shopping center and new kiosk. The screening should not exceed
height limit designated by the city.
This will screen the parking and queuing that occurs at the fuel pumps, but will allow motorist to
see the canopy beyond. With appropriate use of signage and canopy orientation, the fueling
facility will draw in passing traffic as well as Safeway Shoppers.
Vehicular access to the site will utilize existing driveways of the shopping center, primarily the
existing drive along S 320th Street. Said drive will accommodate general motorists who wish to
use the facility. The existing access located further south, along 11 Lh PL S will also provide
additional access with minimal disruption to the right of way. The site is also designed to
accommodate future ROW dedications along 11t PL S and S 329th St. A traffic study detailing
traffic patterns, volumes and potential impacts to the ROW will be provided with the permit
submittal.
Parking
The construction of this facility will require the removal of approx. 64 existing parking stalls shared
by both the existing shopping center and the dining establishment located just east of the site.
The to be removed stalls would remain relatively empty throughout the day if they were not being
used inappropriately as a park'n'ride for commuters. The removal of such stalls would pose little
impact to legitimate customer parking of both existing retail establishments. For more information
regarding this please refer to attached parking requirements calculations.
Landscaping
Currently, proposed landscaping will be located primarily along street frontages per city
requirements, it is represented as the shaded region for clarity on sheet SA-1.2. The site will
exceed the 5' landscaping buffer to provide additional clearance for future ROW dedications
along both 11th PL S and S 3201h St. Complete landscaping and irrigation plans will be provided
as part of the permit submittal.
Kiosk
The convenience store is 464 sf. ft. (approx. 36'-4" x 12'-8") and should not exceed 14'-5" in over
all height. The kiosk exterior will consist primarily E.I.S.F. material at the wall and parapet and
split face C.M.U. at it's base. The exterior color scheme will match that of the existing store. The
kiosks will serve as a point of sale for fuel and pre -packaged food item transactions. It will also
include a work area and employee only restroom. For more information please see drawings A-1
and A-3 for details.

Marni Heffron, P.E., P.T.O.E
Subject: Safeway Gas Station — Internalization and Pass -By Survey Results
Safeway, Inc. is in the process of adding gas stations to many of its existing Safeway supermarket sites. The gas
stations are typically located in the supermarket parking lot. During the process of preparing traffic impact
analyses for the proposed gas stations, it was determined that limited data are available describing trip -making
dynamics for multi -use developments. Good national data are presented in Chapter 7 of the Trip Generation
Handbook —An ITE Proposed Recommended Practice (Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), October
1998), which describes internal capture rates for office, residential, and retail uses. However, no specific inter-
nal capture data were available for supermarkets and gas stations located on the same site. Therefore, a compre-
hensive survey was undertaken to determine the percentage of gas station trips that occur internal to a supermar-
ket/shopping center site. In addition, data were collected to determine the percentage of primary, diverted -
linked, and pass -by trips generated by a Safeway gas station.
Methodology
Six existing Safeway gas station sites were selected representing a range of area types (suburban versus rural),
on -site development (shopping center versus supermarket), number of pumps, and length of time the station had
been in operation. Table 1 summarizes the characteristics for each Safeway gas station.

Trip Generation, Distribution, and Assignment Analysis
Safeway, Inc. proposes to construct a new fueling facility near its existing supermarket on S 320"
Street in Federal Way, Washington. This memorandum includes information about the project and
summarizes the project's trip generation and PM peak hour trip distribution and assignment. This
information is intended for use in determining the scope of work for the proposed project. Please call
me at (206) 855-9273 if you have any questions regarding this analysis.
Project Description
Safeway is proposing to construct a new fueling facility north of the existing Safeway supermarket
located in the shopping center on the southeast corner of the S 320 Street/I Ith Place S intersection.
The proposed fueling facility would include six gas pumps and a kiosk. Each of the six gas pumps
would be able to fuel two vehicles at one time, for a total of 12 fueling positions. The kiosk would be
located on the north side of the fuel station, and would have one employee to answer questions,
receive payments, and to monitor station systems. Access to and from the proposed fueling facility
would occur primarily from Safeway's westernmost driveway on S 320`h Street and Safeway's
northernmost driveway on 11'h Place S. Fuel trucks would enter the site using the westernmost
driveway on S 3201h Street and exit the site using the northernmost driveway on I Vh Place S, as
shown in Figure 1 (attached). No new driveways are being proposed. The fueling facility is expected
to be constructed and operational by 2006.
Trip Generation
PM peak hour trip generation for the proposed fueling facility was determined using equations
presented in Trip Generation (Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), 7th Edition, 2003) for gas
stations (Land Use 944). There are two sets of trip equations for gas stations included in Trip
Generation. One set of equations uses the amount of traffic passing the site as its independent
variable and the other set uses the number of fueling positions. The trip equations based on peak hour
traffic showed a much stronger correlation to the data in Trip Generation than the equations based on

the number of fueling positions. Therefore, the equation based on peak hour traffic passing the site
was used in this analysis. (The equation is as follows: Total PM peak hour trips generated by the site
= 0.05 x PM peak hour trips passing the site - 7.97)
Trip Generation does not include information to estimate daily trips for a fueling facility based on
traffic volumes passing the site. Therefore, daily trips generated by a gas station were estimated based
on two articles presented in the ITE Journal. One article, Trip Generation Characteristics at Gasoline
Service Stations (Tapan K. Datta and Paul A. Guzek, July 1992), found that daily trips at fueling
facilities are approximately 14 times the trips generated by the fueling facility during the PM peak
hour. Another article, Transportation Characteristics of Convenience Stores with Gas Pumps
(William E. Tipton, Sr. and William E. Tipton, Jr., June 1990), describe trip characteristics at a
similar land use (convenience stores with gas pumps) and found that daily trips were approximately
15 times the number of trips generated during the PM peak hour. For this analysis, daily trips
generated by the proposed fueling facility were assumed to be 15 times the PM peak hour trip
generation. This is a conservatively high estimate of daily trip generation based on the information in
the articles described above.
New PM peak hour traffic counts were performed at the S 320'h Street/111h Place S intersection, and at
the site access driveways on Tuesday, August 9, 2005. The driveway counts showed that a total of
3,165 vehicles currently pass the existing Safeway driveways-2,665 vehicles on S 32e Street
(1,485 westbound, 1,180 eastbound) and 500 vehicles on I Vh Place S (195 southbound, 305
northbound) during the PM peak hour. These existing volumes are shown on Figure 2 (attached).
Since the proposed fueling facility is expected to be constructed and operational in 2006, future traffic
volumes were estimated by adding one year's growth (at a rate of 2% per year) to the existing traffic
volumes on S 3201h Street and 11`h Place S. This growth rate was provided by City of Federal Way
staff in 2000 when this site was first analyzed. Using this growth rate, approximately 3,230 vehicles
would pass the Safeway driveways on S 320`h Street and 11 `h Place S during the PM peak hour in
2006 without the proposed fueling facility. The future 2006 without -project traffic volumes are shown
on Figure 3 (attached). Based on this traffic volume, the proposed fueling facility would generate
approximately 2,310 daily trips with 154 trips (77 trips in and 77 trips out) occurring in the PM peak
hour.
Because the proposed fueling facility would be located on the same site as the existing supermarket
and other retail uses, shared trips are likely to occur. A shared trip would include a driver stopping at
both the shopping center and the fueling facility during the same trip. If the proposed fueling facility
were located on a site separate from the shopping center, a customer who visits both sites would be
counted as four driveway trips (one trip in and one trip out of the fueling facility, and one trip in and
one trip out of the shopping center). However, when the uses are on the same site, a customer who
visits both the fueling facility and shopping center would only be counted as two trips at the driveway
(one trip entering the site and one trip exiting the site). Thus, shared trips reduce the number of trips
at the driveways.
In addition, trips using the driveways are comprised of three types —pass -by, diverted -linked, and
primary. These trip types are described as follows:
• Pass -by Trips are already on the roadway network on the way to another destination. For
example, a trip to the fueling facility made during a trip home from work would be
considered a pass -by trip.

Trip Generation, Distribution, and Assignment Analysis
November 7, 2005
Page 3 of 4
Diverted -linked Trips are attracted from traffic on roadways within the project vicinity but
require a diversion to gain access to the site. For example, a driver on Pacific Highway S
would divert to either S 320`h Street or S 3241h Street to access this project. This diverted -
linked trip would add traffic to the streets and intersections in the vicinity of the project, but
would not be a new trip to the overall Federal Way area.
New (Primary) Trips are single -purpose trips generated by the fueling facility. New trips are
generally assumed to begin and end at home, although some new trips could originate at work
or other locations.
To determine the number of shared trips and the type of trips that occur at gas stations located on
shopping center sites, Heffron Transportation, Inc. performed a comprehensive internalization and
pass -by trip survey at six Safeway Gas Stations located in Western Washington. In March 2001, over
700 gas station customers were interviewed to determine their trip type and if their trip was a shared
trip. The complete report describing the internalization and pass -by trip survey is attached. The
survey data show that an average of 36% of the trips generated by a Safeway gas station are shared
(internal) trips that are already on Safeway's site during the PM peak hour and 64% of the trips are
new to the site driveways. The survey data also show that approximately 50% of the driveway trips
are pass -by trips, 36% are diverted -linked trips, and 14% are primary trips. These percentages were
applied to the trip estimates for the Federal Way Safeway fuel station site and the results are
summarized in Table 1.

1. The total number of PM peak hour driveway trips was determined using rates in Trip Generation, Institute of Transportation
Engineers, 7th Edition, 2003 for Land Use 944, using "Adjacent Street Traffic" as the independent variable.
2. Trip percentages were obtained from customer surveys performed by Heffron Transportation, Inc. at six Safeway Gas Stations
located in Western Washington in March 2001.
3. Daily trips are 15 times the number of PM peak hour trips.
Trip Distribution and Assignment
New trips would be attracted to the proposed fueling facility from existing residential areas near the
site. Since the majority of residences are located west of the site and no gas stations are located in that
area, the trip distribution pattern for new project trips assumes that most drivers would come from this
direction. This analysis assumes that 60% of all new trips would be destined to and from the west on

S 320'h Street, 20% to and from the south on Pacific Highway S, 10% to and from the north on Pacific
Highway S, and 10% to and from the east on S 320'h Street.
Because of the site's proximity to Pacific Highway S and the number of fuel stations on this roadway,
most of the diverted -linked trips (70%) generated by this project were assumed to divert from Pacific
Highway S in the vicinity of the project site. It was assumed in this analysis that 35% of the diverted -
linked trips would come from traffic traveling south on Pacific Highway S and 35% from traffic
traveling north on Pacific Highway S. It should be noted that based on existing travel patterns
observed in the field, diverted -linked trips traveling north on Pacific Highway S were assumed to
access the site via S 3241h Street (11'h Place S). The remaining diverted -linked trips were assumed to
divert onto S 320'h Street from roadways located east and west of the site. It was assumed in this
analysis that 15% of the diverted -linked trips would come from the west and 15% from the east.
The pass -by trips were assigned based on the amount of PM peak hour traffic traveling on S 3201h
Street and I Ph Place S since pass -by trips are assumed to come from traffic passing the site. The pass -
by trip distribution pattern used for this analysis included 47% from the east on S 320'h Street, 37%
from the west on S 320'h Street, 6% from the north on I Ph Place S, and 10% from the south on 1 lth
Place S. Figures 4 thru 7 (attached) show the trip assignments for each component and a summary of
the total PM peak hour project trip assignment.
Conclusion
During the PM peak hour, the proposed Federal Way Safewayfuel station is expected to add
approximately 13 trips to the S 320'h Street/11 `h Place S intersection, 12 trips to the S 3201h
Street/Pacific Highway S intersection, and two trips to the S 324h Street/11 th Place S intersection. The
project is expected to add approximately 41 trips to the existing Safeway driveway on 11'h Place S
and 33 trips to the existing Safeway driveway on S 320'h Street.

From: Laura Van Dyke, P.E. L-Sv
Marni Heffron, P.E., P.T.O.E
Subject: Safeway Gas Station — Internalization and Pass -By Survey Results
Safeway, Inc. is in the process of adding gas stations to many of its existing Safeway supermarket sites. The gas
stations are typically located in the supermarket parking lot. During the process of preparing traffic impact
analyses for the proposed gas stations, it was determined that limited data are available describing trip -making
dynamics for multi -use developments. Good national data are presented in Chapter 7 of the Trip Generation
Handbook —An ITE Proposed Recommended Practice (Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), October
1998), which describes internal capture rates for office, residential, and retail uses. However, no specific inter-
nal capture data were available for supermarkets and gas stations located on the same site. Therefore, a compre-
hensive survey was undertaken to determine the percentage of gas station trips that occur internal to a supermar-
ket/shopping center site. In addition, data were collected to determine the percentage of primary, diverted -
linked, and pass -by trips generated by a Safeway gas station.
Methodology
Six existing Safeway gas station sites were selected representing a range of area types (suburban versus rural),
on -site development (shopping center versus supermarket), number of pumps, and length of time the station had
been in operation. Table 1 summarizes the characteristics for each Safeway gas station.

Safeway gas station patrons were interviewed at the six sites and were asked a series of up to six questions, pre-
sented in Table 2. Patrons' responses to the series of questions reveal whether or not they shopped at another
store on the site during the same trip, and whether their trip should be considered a primary trip, a diverted -
linked trip, or a pass -by trip. Primary trips are defined as trips generated by a development where the develop-
ment is the primary destination. Diverted -linked trips are trips in which the development is one of several trip
destinations. Pass -by trips are trips that are attracted to the site from traffic already passing by on one of the
adjacent streets without altering their route.

The interviews were conducted on weekdays in mid -March 2001 between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. A two -per-
son team was present at each site during the interview period and attempted to survey all gas station patrons
arriving during the two-hour timeframe. As shown in Table 3, an average of 93% of all vehicle drivers arriving
at the subject sites was interviewed. The "missed drivers" represent drivers that were unwilling or unable (non-
English speaking or hearing impaired) to participate in the survey. A total of 735 oral interviews were con-
ducted at the six sites, with an average of 123 interviews completed per location.

Survey Results
The first two questions in the interview address whether or not a driver paired a stop at the gas station with a
stop at the Safeway supermarket (or another retail use) on the site. Drivers who stopped at the supermarket (or
another use on the site) before or after their stop at the Safeway gas station were considered to have made an
internal trip. By definition, internal trips occur internal to the site and do not increase the number of trips that
utilize the site's driveways. Trips that did not occur internal to the site were classified as "driveway trips" that
would utilize the site's driveways. Table 4 presents the percentage of internal and driveway trips at each site.
Internal trips as a percentage of all trips ranged from 32% in Renton to 40% in Marysville. On average, 36% of
all trips occurred internal to the site.

The responses to survey questions four through six provided insight into the type of driveway trip that was
made. If a respondent indicated that they would return directly to their point of origin after leaving the Safeway
gas station, the trip was classified as a primary trip. The survey participants who did not return directly to their
point of origin were considered to have made a pass -by or diverted -linked trip. Those who would have passed
by the site even if they had not stopped at the gas station were classified as a pass -by trip. Those who stated that
they would not have driven by the site had they not planned to stop, but rather went out of their way to reach the
site, were considered to have made a diverted -linked trip.
Table 5 presents data on the relative number of primary, diverted -linked, and pass -by driveway trips at each of
the six Safeway gas station sites. Pass -by trips comprised the largest portion of driveway trips generated by all
of the surveyed sites. Pass -by trips ranged from 46% of driveway trips in Marysville to 54% in Renton, with an
average of 50% for all of the sites. Primary trips constituted the smallest portion of trips generated, ranging
from 8% of driveway trips in Renton to 19% in Yelm, with an overall average of 14%.
