The City has completed the review of an Administrative Decision request (AD) to allow the International
House of Prayer to conduct prayer meetings and services within an existing office building in the East Campus
Terrace business park. The request was formally submitted on April 8, 2009. The zoning designation of the site
is Office Park (OP-1) and the proposed use is allowed in this zone pursuant to the zoning regulations in place
in 1994 as stated in a previous letter.
The location of the proposed meeting place is Building A of Lot 1 of the Binding Site Plan for the East
Campus Terrace business park In order to determine what land use process may be required to allow you to
continue the prayer meetings in the office space you are leasing, we had to determine whether this request
would be considered a "change of use." The primary area of concern had to do with the traffic generation and
required parking you needed, based on the days and hours of meetings and the number of attendees during
peak hours of use. It was identified that you would need approximately 75 parking spaces for the days of
highest attendance_ Building A had been allocated 51 spaces; however, the business park approval stated that
the building owners could share parking through a mutual consent agreement. We asked you to obtain such an
agreement to provide the additional parking spaces needed. You submitted the additional information on June
3, 2009, in the form of a signed agreement between the building owners of Building A and Building B to allow
you use of their parking areas for your meetings, a total of 93 spaces. The owner of Building A stated they
would need 10 spaces for their use and that left 83 spaces available for you to use. We have, therefore,
determined that you can meet minimum parking requirements and will not trigger a "change of use," to hold
periodic prayer meetings in a room within East Campus Terrace business park. Your request for an
administrative decision is, therefore, approved. You must, however, obtain a business license from the city to
continue the services and get building permit approval for the tenant improvements you are required to make
for this facility.
If you have any questions, please call me at 253-835-2640.

Joanne,
TMP is planning call but traffic review it. Office space has 151 parking spaces available. According to the submitted
narrative the project will have 125 attendees from 7.30 to 9.30 PM. 85th percentile rate is .60 vehicles/attendee which
require 75 parking stalls. If the number of parking stalls enough or not will depend on other buildings use during that
time. I do not have enough information to calculate total parking requirement. I just want to make sure they have
enough parking so that no spill over parking on city street. I would say "Please confirm adequate parking space is
available and no spill over on City street".
Thank you.

Attached please find the resubmittal information brought in by the applicant on June 3, 2009. The submittal
consists of an agreement by the property owners of Buildings A & B that the applicant can utilize the parking
areas designated for the property at 32008 32nd Ave., South to provide parking for the proposed IHOP
meetings. It was identified by the Traffic Division that the 7-10 PM peak hour usage for this facility would
require approximately 75 spaces.
As shown on the attached site plan, the two buildings provide 93 parking spaces. The owner of Building A,
Korean American TV Broadcasting, identifies that only 10 spaces would be needed by their business during this
time line and the owner of Building B, Genesis Real Estate and Property Management, did not identify usage of
their parking area during this time frame. If there is no usage during this time by the owners of Building B,
then there are 83 spaces available for use by the IHOP facility.
Please respond with your comments as soon as possible. If the proposed use by IHOP does not trigger a
"change of use", then they can proceed with their meetings as proposed. If a "change of use" is triggered,
then they will be required to obtain a Process II land use approval to continue their meetings at this location.

RE: Folder #09-101314-00-AD; REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Intl House of Prayer, 32008 32"d Avenue South, Federal Way, WA
Dear Mr. Wiens:
We are in receipt of your request to allow a private group to conduct prayer meetings and services within
an existing office building located at the above -referenced address. As part of our review, we must
determine whether your proposal would be considered a "change of use" from what was previously
approved for this site. By definition in the Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC), a "change of use" means
the general character of a use has been modified and we are required to review: 1) hours of operation; 2)
required parking; 3) traffic generation; 4) general appearance; 5) type, extent, or amount of indoor or
outdoor storage; and, 6) constituents of surface water discharge or runoff. We have determined that
criteria 1), 3), 4), 5), and 6) would not trigger a change of use. We need more information to evaluate
criteria 2) for the required parking.
This property is located within an Office Professional (OP-1) zone and has a Comprehensive Plan
designation of Office Professional. This property is vested to the zoning regulations in effect in 1994 and
is also subject to the conditions of a 1994 concomitant agreement between the City and Weyerhaeuser
Corporation as part of an annexation process. Since then, a Binding Site Plan approval was issued in 2007
for the construction of four office buildings. As part of that project approval, a traffic impact analysis and
parking study was required that identified how many parking spaces would be needed for each lot as part
of the binding site plan. It was determined that, based on square footage of the "office use" in the
buildings, 151 parking spaces would be required. Your group is located in Building A of Lot 1 and 51
parking spaces were required for this building.
We consulted with the Traffic Division and have determined that we need more information from you to
determine whether there is adequate parking on this property. Since the binding site plan allocated a
certain number of spaces per lot, we need to know if there is an agreement within the building owners'
association to allow "sharing" of parking spaces from building to building.
If there is no parking agreement in place, you do not have enough parking spaces on this lot for your
services. A preliminary calculation by the Traffic Division shows that based on the information you have
given us on the attendance at prayer meetings, training and services on some days, you need about 75
parking spaces. As such, the new use would be considered a "change of use" and a Use Process II
application would be required. In order to permit the use, you would need to establish that adequate
parking exists, either thru establishment of a shared parking agreement with the other lot owners or by
demonstrating through a parking study that adequate parking does exist on the subject property.
May 5, 2009
Page 2
If there is a shared parking agreement, then the Traffic Division has asked that you identify: how many
parking spaces are used within the complex during your primary hours of use, i.e. after 7PM (include the
number of spaces you need and the number of spaces used by other offices during this time). If your
analysis shows there are adequate parking spaces for existing and proposed uses, you would not trigger a
"change of use." If there is no change of use, then you would not be required to submit and receive
approval on a use process application for the establishment of church meetings within this building.
As soon as we receive the additional information, we will continue the review of your request. If you have
any questions on the request from the Traffic Division, please contact Soma Chattopadhyay at 253-835-
2745 or at soma.chattopadhyay@cityoffederalway.com. If you have any further questions for me, please
contact me at 253-835-2640 or joanne.long-woods@cityoffederalway.com.

Rick:
This is a private group who has been leasing an office space in the East Campus Terrace I office park off of
32"d Avenue. This complex was approved through a Binding Site Plan Approval in 2007. This group is leasing
space at Office Building A, Lot 1 to conduct prayer and worship services under the name "International House
of Prayer'. They were tagged by PW because of the need to provide another access and to meet fire
requirements for the meetings they are conducting. According to the application, they will meet four days per
week, with meetings held several times during the day and night with attendance ranging from 40-110 people
per day, depending on which session they are conducting.
This complex was approved with a Binding Site Plan for proposed office buildings. This particular building also
houses the Korean Broadcasting Company and provides 51 parking spaces. According to the traffic analysis
done for this project, 151 spaces were required for the four buildings within the complex. It was reviewed as
office buildings, which require 1 space/300 sq. ft. of building space. Parking requirements for churches are
reviewed on a case by case basis after a TMP/Parking study has been completed.
Soma and I have talked about this a couple times, briefly. She suggested I have the applicant find out how
many of the parking spaces will be used by the Korean Broadcasting and other businesses in the complex to
determine whether they are exceeding the parking limit that was approved for the original complex.
We are reviewing this as an administrative application to verify whether they can conduct these meetings in
this building. The main issue which would prevent them from continuing is that they would be considered a
"change of use", which may require a Use Process II or III permit. The two things that could trigger the
change of use determination is: 1) increase in traffic; 2) required parking; and, 3) hours of operation.
Although they have not specified in their request what their future plans are, we should be asking whether
they intend to expand, grow, or increase their attendance.
Please let us know what additional information and/or studies you may need to determine whether this
proposed facility should be allowed at this site and whether you consider it a "change of use".
Thanks.

Dear Sir:
I am writing this letter to present a narrative of the purpose of the International House of Prayer
Northwest, and to request verification of the permit needed to use a leased space at 32008 32nd
Ave South in Federal Way.
The purpose of the International House of Prayer Northwest Missions Base is to establish a
night and day prayer and worship ministry in the spirit of the Tabernacle of David utilizing
young adult musicians and singers.
The goal is to build a missions base which will set a context for night and day prayer and
worship in the Pacific Northwest and the Pacific Rim. Creating an atmosphere of prayer and
worship will accelerate the physical return of Jesus to the earth. Jesus' return is dependent upon
the prayers of this generation according to Matthew 23:37-39 and Revelation 22:17.
Our focus is on the replication and amplification of the simple promise of scripture to encourage
the seeking of God in humility, prayer and worship via a global network of houses of prayer.
The International House of Prayer Northwest exists to prepare the people of this region for the
return of Jesus Christ to the earth by establishing night and day prayer with the following
objectives:
1. To call upon the Lord Jesus to come and establish His Kingdom in the Northwest;
2. To change the spiritual atmosphere of this region so that it is conducive to the presence of
Jesus;
3. To provide a setting and atmosphere in which all believers, and especially young adults, can
discover and be discipled into their destiny and calling;
4. To train Forerunner messengers that will be strong in prayer, strong in the knowledge of God
and His Word, equipped to do the works of the Kingdom of God, and strong in the ability to
declare the Gospel of the Kingdom with power;
5. To equip God's people in the experiential knowledge of His love and of His purposes at the
end of the age so that in the days of trouble that are coming they will have confidence in His
goodness, His faithfulness, and His triumph over the powers of the enemy. RECEIVED

Hi:
It's in Subdivision Section, 20-4 in old code, second column. They are allowed in RM zone.
Yes, I am looking forward to sunnier days. Going down to Olympia farmer's market to meet my brother and niece and
kiddies. Should be fun - looking for some starter plants to do patio flowers and herbs.
Now, I need your help also. There was a binding site plan done in 2006-2007 for the East Campus Terrace development
off of 32nd Ave., So. As part of that review, they were required to do a traffic study based on construction of 4 office
buildings, total of 45,000 sq. ft. of office space which required 151 parking spaces. My question: we have a private
religious group that is leasing part of one of those buildings to be used for daily prayer for up to 25 people and then 1-2
weekly meetings where there could be as many as 75-100 people attending. Would they have to do a revised traffic
study to determine whether they have enough parking for this use? Your help is appreciated.
