ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Ms. Wang delivered a presentation on the City of Federal Way 2005 — 2006 Biennial Budget. She noted
that while the City's tax burden is $63 higher than King County's, the City provides more services, and a
tax break for low-income senior citizens is available.
COMMISSION BUSINESS
PUBLIC HEARING — Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Subarea Plan
Mr. Conlen went over the staff's responses to the Commission's and public's questions from the last
meeting. The Commission questioned where access would be for the Jackson request. Mr. Perez responded
that the primary access would probably be from 32nd Avenue South. The Washington Department of
Transportation would have to approve any access to/from 320'h Street and if they allowed any access, it
most likely would be right-in/right-out only.
Mr. Dohm addressed the King County policies question raised at the last meeting. He stated that the staff
had spoken to King County about providing a representative for this meeting, but negotiations fell through.
One concern King County has about providing a representative is that they are working with the City
Manager's office on this issue and want to be sure no miscommunication occurs. King County will not
adopt the City's PAA Subarea Plan, but would view it, and the policies contained therein, as advisory. If

in years while hers is a thriving business. She spent a lot of money to re-establish her property as
commercial with King County and does not want to do again for the City. It would not be
possible for this to be a residential lot.
Bryan Cope — He spoke on the Jackson request. He lives nearby. The City should keep
businesses together and not place them out here. An auto mall should go along Pacific Highway
near the other auto dealerships. There is no visibility of the property from I-5 from the south and
it would be a distraction from the north. Freeway Commercial zoning would change the City's
"curb appeal." The City should work with SeaTac Mall to get more businesses to locate at the
mall. Because of the wetlands, developing the Jackson property would be more trouble than it is
worth. There is already a lot of noise in the neighborhood due to I-5 and this would increase the
noise.
Lois Kutscha — She spoke in favor of the Northlake request. She wants to see the zoning
changed from six to four houses per acre.
Carla Laslella — She spoke on the Jackson request. She had figured it would be office park, like
other properties in the area. She is concerned for the children in the area who ride their bikes
along 32nd and 316"'. She is concerned auto dealerships would bring in transients who have no
feeling for the community. She feels access to the site would make more sense if it were from
the freeway as opposed to 32nd
Steve Charles — He spoke on the Davis request. As a small business owner, he knows the
Davis's look upon this business as their retirement and it would be very detrimental to them to
lose it. He commented that the building would not work as a home. Because 308"' Place is in the
wrong place, according to the title insurance, the property is in the road. Because of this when
they remolded, they had to change the setback on the second floor. There is only one bathroom
and no place to put a second. There is no place a garage could go. The current building would
have to be demolished in order to have a residential use on the property.
Pam Ditzhazy — She spoke in opposition to the Jackson request. She lives on the corner of 32nd
and 316'h. She is concerned about the noise and light auto dealerships would bring. She is also
concerned about the safety of the children and the increased traffic.
Lawson Bronson, Alternate Planning Commissioner — If the Jackson applicant does not want
Freeway Commercial, what other uses would be good for this area? Since they don't want it,
why pursue the Freeway Commercial zoning? The City needs to communicate more clearly
about the PAA issue because miscommunication has caused unneeded stress.
The Commissioners commented that the PAA Subarea Plan has been in the works for 1'/2 to 2 years.
Numerous public meetings have been held that have been mailed to various citizens and agencies within
the PAA, and advertised in the paper and on the City's TV Channel.
Doug Parter — He spoke on the Davis request. He commented that community members do not
have the ability to fight policy and that is what this is about.
Val Caulder — He spoke in opposition of the Jackson request. A through street to 320`h would
increase traffic on 316"' because people would use it to avoid the intersection of 320"' and
Military. It would be a faster way to I-5. Currently they ride horses on 316`h and would no longer
be able to do that.

Planning Conunission Minutes Page 4 April 7, 2004
Lisa Fritz — She spoke in opposition of the Jackson request. The streets in this neighborhood are
currently wonderful to walk along, but this would increase the traffic and they would no longer
be safe.
The Commission discussed the site-specific requests. The Commission would like to know King County's
plans for zoning on the Jackson property and clarity on the access for the Jackson property. They would
like to know the uses allowed by the concomitant agreement for property to the east of the Jackson request.
They would like to know what properties could be zoned Freeway Commercial. The Commission would
like to know why the Sutherland Grocery and Gas property is identified as a cultural resource. It was m/s/c
to continue the Public Hearings to Wednesday, April 21, 2004, in the City Council Chambers at 7:00 p.m.

SUBJECT: PAA Follow -Up to 4/7/04 Meeting
At the Public Hearing of April 7, 2004, the Planning Commission asked staff to follow-up on
several questions. Staff also has follow up comments on some of the Planning Commission's
general discussion. Questions and responses are provided below.
Planning Commission Questions
1. What is the County's position regarding the appropriate zoning of the Jackson site?
In 2003, King County budgeted funds for a `subarea plan' to study the feasibility of
revisions for land use designations and zoning for parcels at the intersection of I-5 and
South 320t1 St. (Jackson site). The subarea plan, however, was not completed. Paul
Reitenbauch, of King County Dept. of Development and Environmental Services
indicated that the County has not taken a position, formally or informally, with regard to
the appropriate zoning of the Jackson site, rather deferring to the ongoing PAA subarea
planning process.
The property owner's agent indicated that he has submitted a rezone request for
Community Business zoning to King County. King County DDES staff indicated they
have not received a rezone request for the Jackson site. Once a request is submitted it
would be placed on the docket and reviewed by the King County Hearing Examiner and
then go to the County Council for a final decision.
2. What type and location of access would the City allow to the Jackson property?
Rick Perez, City Traffic Engineer, has prepared a preliminary analysis to clarify the type
of access that would be permitted for the Jackson site, recognizing that without a specific
proposal and supporting studies, a number of variables remain undefined.
To summarize, he indicates that one access point directly to/from South 3201" St. meeting
intersection separation requirements would be permitted, but a full signalized intersection
without turning restrictions is unlikely to be permitted.
A signal is already in place at South 320th St. and 32nd Ave. S., so signalized access could
be provided in this location by way of 32nd Ave. S. Mr. Perez's email is attached.
3. What are the details of the concomitant agreement on the property to the east of the
Jackson site within Federal Way City limits?
When the property, known as Res. North originally annexed to the City in late 1998/early
1999 with a multi -family zoning designation, the City and the property owner entered
into a concomitant agreement limiting the development of the property to single-family
uses. The property was subsequently rezoned to Office Park at which time the
development agreement became non -applicable to the site. The current zoning of the
property is Office Park with no development agreement in place.
4. With regard to the Sutherland Grocery and Gas property why was the site
designated as a landmark site? Is the current recommendation of RS9.6 single-
family the most appropriate land use designation given the site's Landmark status?
Anders Victor Sutherland originally built the Sutherland site in the 1930's as a roadside
grocery store with gas pumps out front. The family originally live above the store, which
was in operation until 1986. The site has been included in the King County Historic
Resource Inventory. At the time our consultant prepared the land use inventory as a
preliminary step in preparation of the PAA Subarea Plan, the Sutherland property was
under consideration by King County as a Landmark site. Since that time the site has been
designated as a King County Landmark.
Given the historic character of the site we considered several options including retention
of a commercial designation for this site. A City Building Inspector visited the site and
concluded that due to the dilapidated condition of the building, renovation of the existing
building to meet current code is not a realistic option. It was felt that given the condition
of the buildings and the extreme nonconformance of the site with regard to setbacks and
other development standards, redevelopment or re -use of the existing improvements for
commercial purposes is unlikely. Therefore, retention of a commercial designation
would not serve to preserve the historic nature of the site.
Staff recommends a High Density Residential Comprehensive Plan designation and
RS9.6 zoning. Surrounding properties to the west and south are also zoned RS9.6. Staff
feels that if the site is re -developed, which is considered to be a likely scenario,
residential use would be more compatible with surrounding land uses and consistent with
the overall land use pattern than commercial use in this location.
General Discussion — Staff Follow Up
1. Rabie Zoning Request
Based on discussion at the Planning Commission's last meeting it appears there is some
interest by the Planning Commission in applying a Community Business Comprehensive
Plan classification and BC zoning designation to the Rabie property. The BC zoning
allows a wide variety of intensive commercial uses including bulk hardware and garden
sales, "big box" retail, health clubs, oversized commercial vehicle facilities and service
yards, truck stops, taxi lots, tow lots, self -storage units and hospital facilities. Many of
these uses could be incompatible with surrounding single-family zoning and uses.
The Land Use Chapter of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan contains locational
criteria for each land use designation. The Community Business section of the plan
states, in part:
"The Community Business designation encompasses two major retail areas of the
City: It covers the "strip" retail areas along SR -99 and the "bulk" retail area
found near the South 348`" Street area, approximately between SR -99 and 1-5."
The Rabie property is not consistent with Comprehensive Plan locational criteria for
Community Business zoning. In addition, the intensity of potential uses permitted in the
BC zone may create compatibility issues with the surrounding residential land uses.
The following are options the Planning Commission could consider related to this site
specific request:
a. Apply the staff recommendation of Single -Family High Density classification and
RS7.2 zoning.
b. Apply a Neighborhood Business classification and Neighborhood Business (BN)
zoning to the site per the applicant's request and consistent with the current
County designation. This would allow a less intensive commercial use of the
property, more compatible with surrounding single-family zoning and uses, but
would not allow the self -storage use, in which the owner has expressed interest.
Additionally, Comprehensive Plan Policy LUP48 in the BN section states that the
City shall limit new commercial development to existing commercial areas to
protect residential areas. Considering that the County has designated this site as
Neighborhood Business, but the property is undeveloped, it raises a policy
question as to whether we consider a BN designation of this site inconsistent with
the above referenced policy.
Review of the BN zone is on the Planning Commission's work program for this
year. A request to allow self -storage as a permitted use in the BN zone has been
made and will be considered when this item comes before the Planning
Commission.
c. Apply the Community Business classification and Community Business zoning
(BC). This designation would allow self -storage in addition to a number of higher
intensity commercial uses, but is inconsistent with Comprehensive Plan locational
criteria and surrounding single-family zoning and uses.
2. Jackson Zoning Request
When staff originally reviewed the site-specific request, staff concluded that Community
Business (BC) zoning at this location would be inconsistent with the intent of the City's
Comprehensive Plan. First, the site is not consistent with locational criteria for BC
zoning. Second, policies in the plan call for commercial redevelopment of the city center
rather than expansion of new commercial areas. The BC zoning would allow uses that
directly compete with the types of uses the Comprehensive Plan encourages in the city
center, as opposed to the Freeway Commercial (FC) zone, which limits uses to categories
that are under provided and not planned for the city center.
The following are options the Planning Commission could consider related to this site-
specific request:
a. Apply the staff recommendation of the proposed Freeway Commercial
classification and Freeway Commercial (FC) zoning.
b. Apply RS9.6 single-family zoning on the north portion of the site and Office Park
zoning on the south portion of the property fronting on South 320`" St. This
would match existing King County zoning designations for the site.
Under this option, the applicant could always approach the City in the future with
a conceptual site plan and request a zoning change. A conceptual site plan would
allow decision makers to better understand the future impacts associated with a
zoning change on the property, and potentially lead to a developer agreement to
restrict uses or impose additional mitigation.
c. Apply the Community Business classification and Community Business (BC)
zoning to the site. This would satisfy the applicant's request, but would allow a
wide variety of intensive commercial uses on the site, including those that
compete with city center businesses, which is inconsistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan.

Subject: Jackson Property access
CC: Greg Fewins; Margaret Clark
In response to the Planning Commission discussion last night:
Access from S 320th Street to the subject site is limited by WSDOT's access standards for interchange areas
and FWCC Section 22-1543.
Per WSDOT design standards, if access is provided (via a new street) within 350 feet of the 1-5 northbound
ramp terminal, access restrictions would be required 130 feet from the intersection of S 320th Street on the new
street.
Per FWCC 22-1543, access onto S 320th Street would be limited to one per 330 feet of frontage. A right-in/right
out access would be permittted 150 feet from any other interec tion. A left -turn -in movement would be permitted
only 330 feet from any other intersection. Full access would only be permitted at a signalized intersection, which
would have to have sufficient side -street volume to meet warrants for signalization, and not create any adverse
imapcts from queuing into any other signalized intersection or signal coordination.
After required right-of-way dedication for the extension of 32nd Avenue S, the subject property would have
617.92 feet of frontage, based on assessors maps. Since this is less than 660 feet, only one access point would
be permitted. This could be a right-in/right-out, and a left -in may also be possible (depending on how far into
WSDOT right-of-way the ramp terminal interection is), but it is very doubtful that a full signalized access would
be permitted.

MEMORANDUM
April 14, 2004
TO: John Caulfield, Chair, City of Federal Way Planning Commission
FROM: Kathy McClung, Director of Community Development Services
Margaret H. Clark, AICP, Senior Planner
Janet Shull, Contract Planner
SUBJECT: Follow-up Responses to April 7, 2004, Planning Commission Comments on the
Proposed Freeway Commercial Zone
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2004
I. BACKGROUND
The proposed code amendment to Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, to add a new
Freeway Commercial Zone was presented to the Planning Commission at their March 17, 2004, and
April 7, 2004, public hearings. During the March 17, 2004, public hearing, some members of the
Commission had concerns and comments, which staff addressed in a follow-up memorandum. This
memorandum was presented to the Planning Commission at their April 7"' meeting. At that meeting,
the Planning Commission had two additional questions, which staff has addressed in the following
section.
II. FOLLOW-UP TO QUESTIONS BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Questions from the Planning Commission are shown followed by the staff response:
Planning Commission Question: Can the Freeway Commercial zoning designation also be
applied to areas along SR 18 east of I-5?
Staff Response: After the March 17, 2004, Planning Commission public hearing, staff had
reviewed the proposed locational criteria for the Freeway Commercial zone and recommended
that this designation only be applicable to areas five acres or greater that are adjacent to the
Interstate 5 (I-5) interchanges with convenient freeway access and visibility. This was a change
from the initial recommendation, which had also included SR -18. Staff recommended not
including SR -18 because SR 18 extends to Pacific Highway where it becomes South 348`"
Street. If properties in this area were to apply for and be granted a Freeway Commercial zone,
there is a potential for 25 -foot tall signs to be constructed at grade adjacent to South 348`h Street.
The maximum allowable height of free stranding signs in that area is presently 12 feet.
However, after further study of how the locational criteria could relate to SR 18, staff
recommends that only those areas five acres or greater in size that border the I-5/South 320`h and
1-5/SR 18 interchanges with convenient freeway access and visibility should be eligible for the
Freeway Commercial comprehensive plan and zoning designation.
In order to accomplish this, staff recommends the following changes in the proposed locational
criteria in Chapter 2, "Land Use," of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. Proposed changes
discussed in this memorandum are shown as and underlined.
Freeway Commercial
The Freeway Commercial designation is intended for areas that
Inter -..taw C 1
on I R border the I-5/South 320`h and 1-5/SR 18 interchanges with
convenient freeway access and visibility. Freeway Commercial areas are typically large
in size (five acres or greater). The range of commercial land uses permitted in these
areas is limited to uses that are difficult to site in the city's other commercially
designated areas due to their large site size requirements and/or difficulty in adapting to
pedestrian -oriented areas. Freeway Commercial areas are particularly suitable for
automobile sales, home furnishings centers, and related retail and service uses that
require large tracts of land, convenient freeway access, and visibility.
This recommendation is based on the following reasons:
(a) There are three I-5 interchanges that serve the City of Federal Way. These are located at
South 272nd Street and I-5, South 320"' Street and I-5, and South 348`h Street and I-5. Mark
Twain Elementary School and multi -family development is located on property bordering
the southwestern portion of the I-5/South 272nd interchange, which is located within the
City of Federal Way, and a church borders the southeastern portion of the I-5/South 272nd
interchange, which is located within the Potential Annexation Area (PAA). The
northeastern and northwestern portions of the South 272nd/I-5 interchange is located within
the Cities of Des Moines and Kent, respectively. Freeway Commercial zoning would not be
appropriate for those properties bordering either the southwestern or southeastern portions
of the I-5/South 272nd interchange. Therefore, only the I 5/South 3201h and I-5/SR 18
interchanges are proposed as potential locations for Freeway Commercial zoning.
(b) Freeway Commercial zoning could not be applied to properties west of 16`h Avenue South
along SR 18 if eligible property was required to border rather than be adjacent to the I-
5/SR-18 interchange. This is because the dictionary defines "adjacent" as being next to or
nearby whereas it defines "border" as having a common boundary.
(c) Areas north of SR -18 that may be eligible for this designation are presently under the
Weyerhaeuser Company control, and are for the most part developed as office. In addition,
these properties are zoned Corporate Park (CP -1) pursuant to a development agreement
which has been crafted for uses and standards unique to this property. Uses in this area are
not expected to change in the near future.
Planning Commission Memorandum April 14, 2004
Follow -Up to Freeway Commercial Zone Page 2
(d) Areas to the south of SR 18 that meet this requirement are presently in the PAA and are
zoned single family (R-4, four units per acre) under King County and are proposed to be
given a pre -annexation Federal Way zoning designation of single family (RS 9.6, one unit
per 9,600 square feet). One other potential candidate for Freeway Commercial zoning is
located to the east of this single family zoned area. This property is also under
Weyerhaeuser control and is zoned for Office Park (OP -1) pursuant to a development
agreement.
Planning Commission Question: Do we have a map that shows areas that might qualify for the
new Freeway Commercial zoning designation?
Staff Response:
(a) The new Freeway Commercial zoning designation is intended to apply to property at least
five acres in size that borders, is visible from, and is easily accessible from the I-5/South
320th and I-5/SR 18 freeway interchanges.
(b) This zoning designation can be applied to parcels within the PAA as well as in the City.
(c) Like any other site-specific comprehensive plan amendment and rezone request, the
Freeway Commercial designation could be applied for as part of the annual comprehensive
plan amendment process. Staff has not prepared a map showing all potential parcels that
may be eligible for this zone because this may set up an expectation on the part of owners
that these properties shall be given this designation upon request. Like any other request,
these requests would be subject to the comprehensive plan amendment process, which
includes a Selection Process by the City Council, a Public Hearing by the Planning
Commission, and a decision by the City Council.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
April 12, 2004
TO: John Caulfield, Chair, City of Federal Way Planning Commission
FROM: Kathy McClung, Director of Community Development Services
Margaret H. Clark, AICP, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: 2003,Comprehensive Plan Amendments
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2004
I. BACKGROUND
Federal Way adopted its Comprehensive Plan in 1995 and updated it in December 1998, December
2000, November 2001, and March 2003. The Growth Management Act (GMA) limits plan updates to
no more than once per year except under the following circumstances:
(i) The initial adoption of a sub -area plan that does not modify the comprehensive plan
policies and designations applicable to the subarea;
(ii) The adoption or amendment of a shoreline master program.
(iii) The amendment of the capital facilities element of a comprehensive plan that occurs
concurrently with the adoption or amendment of a county or city budget.
Except as otherwise provided above, the governing body shall consider all proposals concurrently so
the cumulative effect of the various proposals can be ascertained. However, after appropriate public
participation, a county or city may adopt amendments or revisions to its comprehensive plan that
conform to this chapter whenever an emergency exists or to resolve an appeal of a comprehensive
plan filed with a growth management hearings board or with the court.
II. 2003 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
The 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments include three components. The first is a request to
remove the planned extension of Weyerhaeuser Way South, north of South 320"' Street. The second is
the adoption of a Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Subarea Plan, which will replace Chapter 8,
Potential Annexation Areas of the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP). The third component
is the adoption of language related to the adoption of a new zoning classification entitled Freeway
Commercial, which would apply to both the City and PAA. Changes to the text of the comprehensive
plan are not proposed during this year's update because the seven-year update was completed in
March 2003. The intent of the seven-year update was to ensure that the comprehensive plan complies
with the key requirements made to the GMA between 1995 and 2001.
This staff report pertains exclusively to the request by the Quadrant Corporation for a comprehensive
plan amendment to delete the planned extension of Weyerhaeuser Way South, north of South 3201h
Street, shown on Map III -27B (2003-2020 Regional Capital Improvement Plan [CIP]) from the FWCP
(Exhibit A), and to delete this project from Table III -19 (Regional CIP Project List) (Exhibit B).
The Planning Commission commenced the public hearing on the PAA Subarea Plan and the Freeway
Commercial Zone on March 17, 2004, with a continuation to April 7, 2004. They will hold the
portion of the public hearing on whether to amend the comprehensive plan to remove the planned
extension of Weyerhaeuser Way South on April 21, 2004.
III. REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22, "Zoning," Article IX, "Process VI Review," establishes
a process and criteria for comprehensive plan amendments. Consistent with Process VI review, the
role of the Planning Commission is as follows:
• To review and evaluate the requests for comprehensive plan amendments;
• To determine whether the proposed comprehensive plan amendments meets the criteria
provided by FWCC Sections 22-529 and 22-530; and,
To forward a recommendation to the City Council regarding adoption of the proposed
comprehensive plan amendments.
IV. PROCEDURAL SUMMARY
March 20, 2004 Issuance of Determination of Nonsignificance pursuant to the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
April 5, 2004 End of SEPA Comment Period
April 19, 2004 End of SEPA Appeal Period
April 21, 2004 Public Hearing before the Planning Commission
V. SITE-SPECIFIC COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHANGE
In September 2003, the City received four site-specific requests for changes to comprehensive plan
designations and zoning, and one request to delete a future road from the comprehensive plan. The
Federal Way City Council held a public hearing "Selection Process" on November 18, 2003, on these
requests and determined that only the request by Quadrant to delete a future road from the
comprehensive plan should go forward for further analysis (Exhibit C). The City required the
applicant to prepare a traffic study analyzing the effects of deletion of this street from the
comprehensive plan. A March 2, 2004, traffic study "S. 3201h Street North Parcel: Weyerhaeuser Way
Extension Analysis" was prepared by The Transpo Group (Exhibit D).

ANALYSIS
Background
They applicant submitted an application for a binding site plan (Federal Way File #03 -102229 -00 -
SU) and SEPA review (Federal Way File #03 -102230 -00 -SE) for development of an office complex
(East Campus North Office) on the parcels shown on Exhibit C in May 2003. The reason for their
comprehensive plan amendment request is that the extension of Weyerhaeuser Way South from its
existing terminus at South 320'h Street to the future extension of 32°d Avenue would divide this
parcel. The application for a binding site plan for these parcels has been determined to be incomplete
by the City and is therefore on -hold at this time.
Neighborhood Characteristics
The underlying parcels through which the future road extension is planned are a mix of vacant and
single family residential. In addition, the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) power lines with
supporting towers are located in this area.
' These parcels are the underlying parcels owned by the Quadrant Corporation through which the road extension is planned.
Since the alignment of the road is conceptual at this time, there are other unidentified parcels that may also be affected.
Planning Commission Memorandum April 12, 2004
2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 3
There are no structures on the Quadrant parcels and it is difficult to determine whether existing
structures on adjacent properties may be affected by a future road extension, since the alignment of
the road is conceptual at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Sensitive Areas
The underlying Quadrant parcels across which the road is shown in the comprehensive plan have a
rolling topography. Slopes vary from zero to eight percent over the majority of the site, with the
steepest slope of 15 percent located in the easterly portion of the site. The site is generally mapped as
Alderwood soils. There are four on-site wetlands. One wetland is located near the center of the site
and the other three are located in the easterly portion of the site. No environmental information is
known about the other parcels across which this road would extend.
Drainage
The underlying Quadrant parcels are vacant. Deletion of the road from the comprehensive plan will
not affect drainage. If additional impervious surface is added to any of the parcels in the future
through either the road extension or development or redevelopment of the parcels, they will be
required to meet the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and the City of
Federal Way Addendum to the 1998 KCSWDM.
Access
The area through which the future road is planned for is bounded by South 320`h Street on the south
and 32°d Avenue South on the west. Weyerhaeuser Way South is planned to be extended northward
from South 320`h Street and curve gradually westward to intersect the future extension of 32°d Avenue
South between the BPA powerline corridor and South 316`h Street.
Noise
Based on a site visit to these parcels, staff observed that these parcels experience noise from both I-5
and South 320`h Street. The extension of Weyerhaeuser Way South would result in additional noise
impacts to the existing residences along the alignment.
Potential Traffic Impacts
If approved, the proposal would delete a planned street from the comprehensive plan. The traffic
study (Exhibit D) concluded that no roadway improvements would be needed by 2020 as a result of
the proposed action. Although there is no substantial impact associated with the deletion of this road
from the comprehensive plan, vehicular delay could be reduced by a minor traffic signal phasing and
pavement marking modification at the intersection of South 300`h Street and 32°d Avenue South.
Projections for Population and Employment
There are some single-family residences in the area of the planned road extension; however, it is
difficult to tell if they would be eliminated, since the road alignment is conceptual at this time.

prepared by The Transpo Group (Exhibit D), and reviewed and concurred with by the City's Traffic
Division, found that no roadway improvements would be needed by 2020 as a result of the proposed
deletion of the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension from the comprehensive plan.
VI. COMPLIANCE WITH FWCC SECTIONS 22-529 AND 22-530
Section 22-529. Factors to be Considered in a Comprehensive Plan Amendment
The City may consider, but is not limited to, the following factors when considering a proposed
amendment to the comprehensive plan:
Planning Commission Memorandum April 12, 2004
2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 5
(1) The effect upon the physical environment.
Deletion of the road from the comprehensive plan is a non -project action and would have no
effect on the physical environment. An evaluation of potential impacts to the environment as
a result of this non -project action was conducted and a threshold Determination of
Nonsignificance (DNS), pursuant to the SEPA, was issued on March 20, 2004.
(2) The effect on open space, streams, and lakes.
Deletion of the road from the comprehensive plan is a non -project action and would have
no effect on open space, streams, and lakes.
(3) The compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding
neighborhoods.
The underlying parcels through which the future road extension is planned are a mix of
vacant and single-family residential. In addition, the Bonneville Power Administration
(BPA) power lines with supporting towers are located in this area. There are no structures
on the Quadrant parcels and it is difficult to determine whether existing structures on
adjacent properties maybe affected by a future road extension, since the alignment of the
road is conceptual at this time. The Transpo Group's traffic study stated that the planned
Weyerhaeuser Way extension would bisect the Quadrant parcel, significantly impacting the
development feasibility of the site.
(4) The adequacy of and impact on communityfacilities including utilities, roads, public
transportation, parks, recreation, and schools.
The removal of the road from the comprehensive plan is a non -project action. Therefore,
the removal of the road from the comprehensive plan would not impact community
facilities such as utilities, parks, recreation, and schools. The traffic study (Exhibit D)
concluded that the planned 32°a Avenue South extension would accommodate forecast
traffic volumes with essentially the same operating conditions within the study area either
with or without the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension.
(5) The benefit to the neighborhood, city, and region.
There would be no benefit to the neighborhood, City, or region by deleting the
Weyerhaeuser Way South extension. However, the associated benefit of the road deletion
for the City would be the development of the 20 -acre Quadrant site as office and the
creation of jobs.
(6) The quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density
and the demand for such land.
The removal of the road from the comprehensive plan is a non -project action; therefore,
this criterion is not applicable.
Planning Commission Memorandum April 12, 2004
2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 6
(7) The current and projected population density in the area.
The removal of the road from the comprehensive plan is a non -project action; therefore,
this criterion is not applicable.
(8) The effect upon other aspects of the comprehensive plan.
There should not be any adverse impacts on the comprehensive plan as a result of the
proposed road deletion from the comprehensive plan.
2. Section 22-530. Criteria for Amending the Comprehensive Plan
The City may amend the comprehensive plan only if it finds that:
(1) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to public health, safety, or
welfare
Deleting the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension from the comprehensive plan would not
affect the public health, safety, or welfare. The construction of the Weyerhaeuser Way
South extension would provide a closer spacing of through streets, however, with the
construction of the 32"d Avenue South extension, it would not necessarily enhance traffic
circulation and access. In addition, the traffic study (Exhibit D) concluded that the planned
32"d Avenue South extension would accommodate forecast traffic volumes with essentially
the same operating conditions within the study area, either with or without the
Weyerhaeuser Way South extension.
AND
(2) The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the city.
Please see response under (1), above. However, a potential benefit of the road deletion for
the City would be the development of the 20 -acre Quadrant site and the creation of jobs.
(3) The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of RCW 36.70A and with
the portion of the city's adopted plan not affected by the amendment.
RCW Chapter 36.70A, the Growth Management Act, requires the City of Federal Way to
adopt and implement a comprehensive plan and to amend it in a timely manner, but no
more than once a year, except under certain circumstances. The City is responding to this
mandate by updating the comprehensive plan. The proposed deletion of the road is
consistent with the remainder of the comprehensive plan.
VII. COMPLIANCE WITH FWCC SECTION 22-488(C)
(1) The city may approve the application only if it finds that:
a. The proposed request is in the best interests of the residents of the city;
Planning Commission Memorandum April 12, 2004
2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 7
The construction of the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension would provide a closer spacing
of through streets. However, with the construction of the 32nd Avenue South extension, the
extension would not necessarily enhance traffic circulation and access. In addition, the
traffic study (Exhibit D) concluded that the planned 32nd Avenue South extension would
accommodate forecast traffic volumes with essentially the same operating conditions within
the study area, either with or without the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension.
Consequently, the deletion of the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension from the
comprehensive plan should have no effect on residents of the City. However, a potential
benefit of the road deletion for the City would be the development of the 20 -acre Quadrant
site and the creation of jobs.
AND
b. The proposed request is appropriate because either.
L Conditions in the immediate vicinity of the subject property have so significantly
changed since the property was given its present zoning and that, under those
changed conditions, a change in designation is within the public interest;
Since the property was annexed in January 9, 1999, a number of large office buildings
and corporate headquarters have been constructed south of South 320d' Street in East
Campus. Development of offices on this site is a logical extension for high quality
office park development. The Transpo Group's traffic study stated that the planned
Weyerhaeuser Way South extension would bisect the parcel, significantly impacting
the development feasibility of the site.
OR
ii. The change in designation will correct a designation that was inappropriate when
established.
This criterion is not applicable.
C. It is consistent with the comprehensive plan;
The following comprehensive plan policies support the future construction of the
Weyerhaeuser Way South extension.
TP10 Protect existing and acquire future right-of-way consistent with functional
classification cross section (transit, rail, bike, and pedestrian) needs....
TP14 Provide access between major development areas identified in the recommended
alternative, while improving business access and protecting City neighborhoods.
TP20 Take advantage of opportunities to open new road connections to create route
alternatives, especially in areas with few access choices.
Planning Commission Memorandum April 12, 2004
2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 8
TP21 Enhance traffic circulation and access with closer spacing of through streets,
unless geographical constraints do not permit....
The construction of the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension would provide a closer spacing
of through streets. However, with the construction of the 32nd Avenue South extension, it
would not necessarily enhance traffic circulation and access. In addition, The Transpo
Group Traffic Study (Exhibit D) concluded that the planned 32nd Avenue South extension
would accommodate forecast traffic volumes with essentially the same operating conditions
within the study area, either with or without the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension.
d. It is consistent with all applicable provisions of the chapter, including those adopted by
reference from the comprehensive plan;
There are no regulations in FWCC Chapter 22, "Zoning," that require street connectivity or
specify block perimeter standards. However, Transportation Policy TP21 of the FWCP
states, "Enhance traffic circulation and access with closer spacing of through streets, unless
geographical constraints do not permit...."
AND
e. It is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare.
The March 2, 2004, Transpo Group Traffic Study concluded that with the construction of
the 32nd Avenue South extension, the Weyerhaeuser Way South extension would not be
necessary, as it would not enhance traffic circulation and access. Therefore, the deletion of
the road from the comprehensive plan would be consistent with the public health, safety,
and welfare.
(2) The city may approve an application for a quasi-judicial project related rezone only if it
finds that:
a. The criteria in subsection (1) above are met; AND
b. The proposed project complies with this chapter in all respects; AND
c. The site plan of the proposed project is designed to minimize all adverse impacts on
the developed properties in the immediate vicinity of the subject property, AND
d. The site plan is designed to minimize impacts upon the public services and utilities.
The request under consideration is for an amendment to the comprehensive plan to delete a road.
It is not a project -related rezone, and therefore, the criteria under this section do not apply.
VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the request by the Quadrant Corporation for a comprehensive plan
amendment to delete the planned extension of Weyerhaeuser Way South, north of South 3201h
Street, shown on Map III -27B (2003-2020 Regional Capital Improvement Plan [CIP]) from the
comprehensive plan (Exhibit A) and to delete this project from Table III -19 (Regional CIP Project
List) (Exhibit B) be approved.

• S 320i1 Street North Parcel: Weyerhaeuser Way Extension Analysis
The purpose of this technical memorandum is to present the results of the analyses
performed to evaluate the impact of eliminating the planned Weyerhaeuser Way
extension, from S 320th Street to 32nd Avenue. This analysis has been prepared in
support of the comprehensive plan amendment currently requested by Quadrant. The
methodology surrounding these analyses were coordinated in advance with City of
Federal Way staff in a December 2003 memorandum. Through close coordination
and cooperation with City staff, Transpo utilized the approved methodology to arrive
at the results presented herein.
Background
As part of their comprehensive plan, the City of Federal Way has previously identified
a long-range improvement project that would extend Weyerhaeuser Way north from
its current terminus at S 3201h Street to the future extension of 32nd Avenue S. This
extension of Weyerhaeuser Way would divide the S 320'h Street North. Parcel that
Quadrant Corporation has proposed for development. A Transportation Impact
Analysis (TIA) was completed by Transpo in May 2003 for this proposed
development. In response to City comments regarding the TIA, Quadrant is pursuing
a comprehensive plan amendment that would eliminate the subject extension of
Weyerhaeuser Way S.
This study satisfies the City's requirements for a comprehensive plan amendment
process. By evaluating future -year scenarios with and without the Weyerhaeuser Way
extension, decisions regarding the improvement can be made as to its necessity and
benefits when balanced against the impacts to affected properties.
Study Methodology
Through coordination with City staff, nine study intersections were identified for
analysis. These intersections are believed to be those most affected by the potential
extension of Weyerhaeuser Way. When considering the construction of new roads, it
is common that the adjacent parallel arterials are evaluated. The study area
intersections include:

The City of Federal Way provided their 2000 and 2020 forecast emme/2 traffic
modeling networks for use in developing the future PM peak hour traffic volumes.
The original 2020 model provided by the City did not include the Weyerhaeuser Way
extension. Transpo revised the 2020 model to include the planned extension. Thus
two model scenarios were developed, one with the planned Weyerhaeuser Way
extension and one without the planned Weyerhaeuser Way extension. Further
modifications were made to the City's travel demand model for both alternatives at
the Interstate 5 (I-5) ramps to/from S 320`h Street to allow left turns from the ramps
onto S 320`h Street. These turning movements are currently permitted. However, the
City's 2020 model has assumed left -turn restrictions. There are no future
improvements that indicate that such restrictions will be in place in the future. City
staff concurred with these revisions to the model coding.
For both scenarios, without and with the Weyerhaeuser Way extension, 2000 turning
movement volumes were subtracted from the 2020 model volumes to arrive at 20
year forecast growth in traffic volumes for each turning movement. Prior to adding
the 20 year growth to the existing turning movements, adjustments to the 20 -year
growth were made to account for the year in which each existing traffic count was
conducted. Existing traffic counts at the study intersections were conducted in either
2002 or 2004. By adding the difference in the two models to existing traffic counts,
the forecast results are calibrated to real-world conditions. Furthermore, this
methodology further accounts for shifts in traffic that result from planned
improvements, such as the S 312`'' Street extension. This is a common post process
modeling procedure that reduces the effects of known modeling deficiencies and
limitations.
The above procedures were followed for both scenarios (with and without the
Weyerhaeuser Way extension). Traffic volumes along S 320`h Street were balanced
between intersections. The resulting traffic volumes without the Weyerhaeuser Way
extension are shown in Figure 1 for the weekday PM peak hour, while Figure 2 shows
the traffic volumes with the Weyerhaeuser Way extension.

Evaluation Criteria and Results
Through coordination with City staff, three measures of effectiveness were identified
for analysis to determine the effect of the Weyerhaeuser Way extension upon traffic
operations in the area. The selected measures of effectiveness include: study
intersection level of service (LOS), corridor travel time on Weyerhaeuser Way and
32 n Avenue S, and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as determined by the City's traffic
model.
Intersection Operations
The City of Federal Way provided their Synchro network for use with the S 320``' Street
North Parcel TIA. This Synchro network was revised to include future city
projects in the immediate area that were also considered in the development of the
future 2020 traffic forecasts. These improvements include:
• The extension of 32nd Avenue S, from S 320`h Street to S 312`h Street
• The extension of S 312`h Street from 28`h Avenue S to Military Road S
(across Interstate 5)
Improvements to S 320`h Street including a seven lane section.
City staff provided specific details of projected future channelization at the study
intersections that are affected by these improvements, as well as various
improvements to existing intersections.
Level of service (LOS) analyses was conducted for the 2020 without extension and
with extension scenarios using these improvement assumptions. Traffic signal cycle
lengths were preserved as provided by the Synchro file (120 seconds), but the signal
splits and offsets were optimized in the 2020 without extension scenario and held
constant for the 2020 with extension scenario. By holding the timings constant, an
equal comparison can be drawn between the results to isolate the effect of the
extension on traffic operations.
Table 1 summarizes the LOS results with and without the Weyerhaeuser Way
extension. Synchro LOS sheets are provided in Attachment A.

As is shown in "fable 1, all of the studyintersections are projected to operate at LOS
C regardless of the scenario. Five of the nine study intersections actually increase in
overall delay in the with Weyerhaeuser Way extension scenario. The largest decrease
in average delay as a result of the Weyerhaeuser Way extension was found to be at S
312"' Street/Military Road, which decreased by approxunately 1 second per vehicle.
Decreases in volume to capacity ratio (V/Q occur at four of the eight signalized
study intersections due to the Weyerhaeuser Way Extension. The intersections of 32',d
Avenue/S 320`h Street and Weyerhaeuser Way/S 320`h Street are impacted by the
most under either alternative due to the reassignment of traffic and the impact and
assignment to key intersections under either scenario.
The results of the analysis indicate" that the Weyerhaeuser Way extension provides
limited benefits to overall intersection operations at the studyintersections. Increases
and decreases in delay between the two scenarios are within ranges of delay that
typically vary on an hourly and daily basis due to volume fluctuations. Furthermore,
peak hour traffic conditions would continue to operate at acceptable levels without
the Weyerhaeuser Way extension.
Corridor Travel Time Analysis
Using the same Synchro file outputs as reported in the intersection LOS results, travel
time through the affected north -south route with and without the Weyerhaeuser Way
extension was calculated. Both northbound and southbound travel times were
estimated for a route beginning/ending 500 feet south of Weyerhaeuser Way, and

ending/beginning 500 feet south of S 312`h Street. In the scenario without the
Weyerhaeuser Way extension, vehicles would travel on Weyerhaeuser Way, S 320`h
Street, and 32"d Avenue S. With the Weyerhaeuser Way extension, vehicles would
bypass S 320`h Street and travel on Weyerhaeuser Way directly to 32"d Avenue S. A
traffic signal was assumed to be constructed at the 32nd Avenue S/Weyerhaeuser Way
extension intersection, and is included in the with extension scenario travel time
calculations.
Running time for the scenarios is expected to be approximately the same for each
alternative since the posted speed and distance traveled is essentially the same for
each scenario. These running times were then added to turning movement delay
experienced at each intersection along the travel route. The delay estimates utilized
were consistent with the Synchro model outputs utilized for the intersection LOS
calculations.
A third, mitigated scenario was added for evaluation in the travel time analyses to
demonstrate a potential mitigation measure that would noticeably reduce travel time
in the without Weyerhaeuser Way extension scenario. Based on information
provided by the City, the south leg of the 32"d Avenue S/S 320`h Street intersections is
configured with a left -turn lane and a left-thru lane. This configuration and traffic
volumes would require operating the traffic signal with split phasing. Split phasing is
generally considered less than desirable phasing method as it results in less efficient
signal operations. Therefore, the third scenario assumes the south leg would operate
with a left -turn and a thru-right and the signal would be operated with more efficient
phasing. The benefits of eliminating such phasing from the future plans for this
traffic signal are shown in Table 2, along with the unmitigated scenarios. A detailed
summary of the travel time data is shown in Attachment B.

As is shown in Table 2, the travel time comparison between the with and unmitigated
without Weyerhaeuser Way extension scenarios shows that the Weyerhaeuser Way
extension provides travel time savings for vehicles traveling both north and south
along the selected route. Northbound, it accounts for a savings of only 10 seconds
per vehicle, while in the southbound direction it accounts for approximately 30
seconds of travel time savings per vehicle during the PM peak hour.
However, if the City's proposed split phasing at 32nd Avenue S/S 320`h Street is
replaced with protected north/south phasing, the difference between the with and
without Weyerhaeuser Way extension scenarios is cut in half. In the northbound
direction, a vehicle would save approximately 6 seconds of travel time with the
extension, and about 14 seconds in the southbound direction with the extension,
when compared to the without extension alternative.
As was noted previously, in the mitigated without extension scenario, the northbound
leg of the 32"d Avenue S/S 320`h Street intersection would be converted to provide a
single left turn lane to allow for protected north/south left turn phasing at the
intersection. In order to further understand the effects of these changes among the
mitigated and unmitigated scenarios, the previous LOS analyses were revised to
address the proposed mitigation measures. The results of this analysis are summarized
in Table 3. Also shown in Table 3 are the results of the queuing analyses. The queuing
analysis was conducted using Synchro 5.0 and focused primarily on the northbound
left -turn movement only.

Table 3 shows that eliminating the northbound left-thru lane and related split phasing
(leaving a single northbound left turn lane) slightly improves the overall intersection
LOS as well as reducing the average delay for the movement by approximately 4
seconds per vehicle. The largest positive impact is on the delay would occur on the
southbound approach, which explains the improved southbound travel time. The 95`h
percentile queue increases by approximately 50 feet with the single northbound left
turn lane. Based on these results, it appears that the mitigated option does not
substantiallyaffect the northbound approach at 32nd Avenue S/S 320`h Street, thereby

allowing the mitigated scenario without the extension to remain a highly plausible
alternative.
Vehicle Miles Traveled - System/Circulation Impacts
As discussed, City staff requested a system measure focusing on travel time or travel
distance under each alternative. In response to this request Transpo utilized the 2020
models developed for each of the alternatives. Since there is not set standard for this
measure, this information is presented for informational purposes only. A sub -area
was created from the large model that included the links within the study area
previously identified. It extended from S 312`h Street to the north, S 320`h Street to the
South, Military Road to the east, and 25`h Avenue to the west. Vehicle miles traveled
(VMT) equal the number of vehicles on each link, multiplied by the link length. The
VMT with the Weyerhaeuser Way extension was found to be 5,470 miles. Without
the extension, the VMT was 5,376. As noted, there is less VMT without the new
roadway. In general these results are similar. Relative to the size of the City's model
being utilized for this analysis, the planned extension is minimal. As a result, the
model may not be refined enough to provide realistic data. The information
presented does indicate that the change in VMT would be minor.
Benefit/Cost Analysis
As noted previously, the planned Weyerhaeuser Way extension would bisect the
north parcel property, significantly impacting the development feasibility of the site.
To help understand the economic impacts of the Weyerhaeuser Way extension, the
travel time benefits as noted above were reviewed and put in the context of an
economic impact. Based on information provided by Quadrant, the extension of
Weyerhaeuser Way would result in a $1.5 to 2.5 million negative economic impact to
the project. This figure includes the additional costs of a road to full city arterial
standards as well as the loss in development potential for the site.
Based on a total savings of 20 seconds for approximately 222' vehicles during the PM
peak hour, for both the northbound and southbound travel times and a cost of $1.5
to 2.5 million. This equates to a cost per vehicle (PM peak hour) between $6,757 and
$11,261. This comparison illustrates that the potential benefits of the Weyerhaeuser
Way extension are greatly surpassed by the cost implications of constructing the
roadway.
Summary
This study evaluated LOS, travel time, VMT, and a cost/benefit analysis of the
planned Weyerhaeuser Way extension between S 320`h Street and 32nd Avenue. Based
on the analyses detailed in this memorandum, Transpo has found the following
information to be true:
Reflects shifts in background traffic, plus site traffic that would likely utilizAFJ3E of the Weyerhaeuser Way extension. lex" T*
PAGE__ __
The Transpo Group
page 9
• The Weyerhaeuser Way extension would provide little to no benefit to overall
intersection operations at the nine study intersections
• Excluding site related traffic, the extension would attract approximately 180
additional PM peak hour trips
• PM peak hour operations would remain at LOS C throughout the study area
with or without the roadway extension.
• The Weyerhaeuser Way extension would decrease northbound and
southbound travel times for vehicles traveling between Weyerhaeuser Way
and the planned 32nd Avenue S roadway by a total of 20 seconds (NB and SB)
per vehicle.
• A comparison of VMT between alternatives indicates less VMT (1.7 percent)
without the roadway extension. Although the model may not be refined to a
detail to provide a truly accurate measurement on such a small scale, the
minor change confirms the minimal impacts previously shown with respect to
intersection LOS and corridor travel times.
• When considering the economic impacts and the average travel time savings,
the cost equates to between $6,757 and $11,261. Thus, the cost of the planned
extension is not proportional to the project impacts assuming no extension of
Weyerhaeuser Way.
The proposed Weyerhaeuser Way extension is anticipated to provide nominal benefit
that would be unapparent to the average driver. Without.the Weyerhaeuser Way
extension, the planned 32"d Avenue S extension would accommodate forecast traffic
volumes with essentially the same operating conditions within the study area; the
same travel times, and the approximately the same VMT. Therefore, the results
indicate that the Weyerhaeuser Way extension would be redundant.

622 S. 320th Street Federal Way, WA 98003 (253) 765-2255
April 21, 2004
Planning Commission
City of Federal Way
33530 Is` Way South
P.O. Box 9718
Federal Way, WA 98063-9718
Re: I-5 Jackson Parcels
Dear Planning Commission:
Building a solid foundation in the community starts with bringing people and businesses
together. The Jackson I-5 parcels will do just that.
These parcels of land are impacted by Freeway noise and congestion, which make them
already unsuitable for residential property. History shows us that property such as this, that
is both visible and accessible, serves communities by being Business Commercial. This
property is no exception, though it is an exceptional property.
It has always been felt that this property, with commercial usage, would serve as the lynch
pin to bridge the gap between the existing city and the Potential Annexation Area.
This property is the logical first step for the people on the East Side to feel a kinship to the
City of Federal Way. Because this property will inevitably be joined to the city, it should be
Business Commercial to allow full citizenship rights to those people making their home East
of the Freeway.
It is the request of All-American Homes, Inc that this commission suggest the Jackson I-5
parcels be recommended onto the LUTC as Business Commercial Zoning.
Sincerely,
Steve McNey
Project Manager
