ÁDMINISTRA TIVE REpORT
Ms. Clark informed the Commission that staff continues to follow-up on issues raised at the Apri120, 2005, public
hearing. A letter (a copy was handed out to Commissioners) has been sent to property and business owners
informing them of the proposed changes and inviting them to a meeting with staff on June 1,2005. Because the
meeting with property and business owners has been scheduled on June 1 S\ the public hearing will be continued to
June 15,2005, and the Commission will not meet June 1 st.
COMMISSION BUSINESS
WORKSHOP - Neighborhood Business (BN) Zone Code Amendments
Ms. Shull delivered the staff report. The Commission decided to open the meeting to public testimony.
Brian Lawler - He is the lawyer for the Irmas Charitable Foundation, which has property throughout the
West. They have property on 21 st Avenue SW near SW 356th Street and have been attempting for years to
sell or lease the property. The only interest they have had is from a self-storage firm. Mr. Lawler provided
the Commission with a picture of the site and pictures of "attractive" mini-storage sites. He feels the
pictures show that self-storage can fit nicely into a neighborhood setting. Such a storage site can serve a
local area; otherwise people must go to Pacific Highway South. He would like the Commission to add self
service storage facilities to the BN zone uses.
Bob Anderson - He is with the Bonney-Watson Funeral Home. Recently, more and more people are
choosing cremation. Many times the ashes are scattered. Because of this, the family and mends have no
grave site to visit. It is for this reason Bonney-Watson wants to create a memorial garden. He gave

May 18, 2005
Commissioners artist's renderings of their idea. This would be a park.like setting that will provide
mourners a quiet oasis. He would like the Commission to add funeral homes to the BN zone uses.
Linda Peterson - Owner of Pat's Plumbing. She runs a dispatch office where the trucks are out in the field
all day. She feels it is congenial with the neighborhood. She would like the Commission to add dispatch
offices to the BN zone uses.
Self Service Storage Facility
The Commission feels it is acceptable to add self service storage facilities to the uses in the BN zone, as long as
they meet a condition that the facility is neighborhood friendly. They are concerned with the staff's proposed size
of 40,000 square feet and 500 square feet per storage unit. This would give the facility about 80 units and the
Commission requested staff to research whether this is economically feasible or not. They agree with allowing a
resident manager, but feel this should not be a requirement. The Commission discussed fencing and that barbed
wire is not allowed unless a fence is over six feet and then only if a variance is given. Staff was asked to research
and provide additional information about design guidelines for fences. The Commission discussed the staff's
options: 1) that self service storage facilities should be part of a mixed use development; or 2) that self service
storage facilities should be designed to not look like a self service storage facility. The Commission felt that self
service storage facilities should not be required to be part of a mixed use development, but this option should be
allowed. Discussion was held on holding "garage sales" at the self service storage facility. The staff s proposal is
the garage sales would not be allowed. The Commission feels it should be up to the self serVice storage facility
management. Staff will research how this issue is handled elsewhere. The Commission agrees with the other staff
proposed regulations that no storage unit is to front on adjacent streets and no door openings are to face residential
zoned property. It was suggested that a minimum acreage size be included so that smaller BN areas are not
completely taken over by a self service storage facility.
The Commission held a discussion regarding Neighborhood Business (BN) and Community Business (Be) zones.
It seems to them that some areas that are zoned BN are really just servicing the neighborhood, but than, they are
truly servicing the whole community either. It was suggested that another zone is needed that would fit between the
BN and BC zones. There was also discussion about the size of grocery stores and how they are getting bigger. Ms.
Clark commented that these are issues the Commission may want to add to next year's work program.
Funeral Homes
The Commission agreed that it makes sense to add funeral homes to the allowed uses in the BN zone.
Residential on the Ground Floor of Mixed-Use Development
The Commission agreed that it makes sense to increase flexibility by allowing residential on the ground floor of
mixed-use development. There was concern that a development could start with residential and have just a vague
idea of the commercial uses. The Commission feels the developer should have viable commercial uses in mind and
agrees with the staffs proposal to state in the requirements that the commercial uses are to be from the retail/office
use zone chart or the entertainment use zone chart. The Commission feels that staff should consider allowing
live/work units.
Retail Uses Selling Signs with Accessory Manufacturing of Signs On-Site
The Commission agreed that it .makes sense to add retail uses selling signs with accessory manufacturing of signs
on-site to the allowed uses in the BN zone.
Dispatch Offices
The Commission agreed that due to nature of the business, it does not make sense to add dispatch offices to the
allowed uses in the BN zone. This request had come from Pat's Plumbing, which is currently nonconforming and
would like to be conforming so that they may make tenant improvements, but has unique circumstances. The
K;IPlanning Commission12005\Meeting Summary 05-18.05.doc
Planning Commission Minutes
Page 3
May 18, 2005
Commission recognizes the uniqueness of the location of this particular business. It is located in a residential zone,
but is next to the freeway and therefore very noisy and no one would want to live there. While it might make sense
to rezone the area to BN, dispatch offices are not a compatible BN use, so it does not make sense to add them to the
BN uses. There is no zone that dispatch offices would be allowed in that staff, and or the City Council, would
consider rezoning the area (given that the surrounding uses are residential). The Commission commented that if the
City were to allow Conditional Uses that would resolve the issue. Ms. Clark suggested the Commission consider
requesting that Conditional Uses be added to their next work program.
Require Commercial Development to Front on Public Streets
The Commission felt it does not make sense to require that commercial development front on public streets, but
would like the staff to help them understand what such development would look like and what are the development
standards for BN.
The Commission would like a workshop on design standards.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
The City has received a shoreline grant to update the Shoreline Master Program.

RESPONSE TO PLANNING COMMISSION
The responses to the questions from the Planning Commission are listed below.
1.
Consider allowing electronic signs and/or electronic changeable copy and if not, provide
reasons (such as safety issues or traffic-related statistics) as to why they should not be allowed.
Staff Response:
The draft code amendment presented to the Planning Commission on April 20, 2005, included
language prohibiting animated or moving signs, electronic changeable copy, and changeable copy
signs. These are defined as follows:
(3) Animated or moving sign means any sign that uses movement, by either natura,1 or
meehanieal means, or change ofligfltiRg, eitfier RaMal or artifieial, to de]3iet 6etioR to Ðfeate a
SfJeeial effeet or seeRe. or the appearance of movement of a si~ display through the use of
patterns oflights. changes in color or light intensity. computerized special effects. video display.
or through anv other method chasing or scintillating lights. fluttering or moving lights. lights
with stroboscopic effect. or containing elements creating sound or smell: except for the scrolling
of a static message. scene or color onto or off a sign board in one direction per message. 1
(24) Electronic changeable message sign means an electronically activated sign whose
message content, either whole or in part, may be changed by means of electronic programming.
(16) Changeable copy sign means a sign whose informational content can be changed or
altered (without changing or altering the sign frame, sign supports or electrical parts) by manual
or electric, electro-mechanical, or electronic means. A sign on which the message changes more
than eight times a day shall be considered an electronic changeable message sign and not a
changeable copy sign for purposes of this chapter. A sign on which the changing is an electronic
or mechanical indication of time and/or temperature shall be considered a "time and
temperature" sign and not a changeable copy sign.2
1 Amendments to the definition of "Animated or Moving Sign" are being proposed as part of the Freeway Profile Sign Code
Amendment.
2 Time and temperature sign means any sign that displays the current time and temperature, without any commercial message.
Planning Commission Memorandum
2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
March 15,2005
Page 2
The staff rationale for not allowing animated or moving and electronic changeable copy signs
was based on safety reasons since these signs can be distracting to passing motorists. The reason
for not allowing changeable copy signs was due to the nature of the signs and the need to include
a variety of information, resulting in a font that may be too small to be easily readable by a
passing motorist, and therefore, being a safety issue.
The Highway Advertising Control Act (Chapter 468-66 WAC) applies to I~5; however, because
1-5 is within the boundaries of an incorporated City, the portion ofthe the Scenic Vistas Act
(Chapter 47.4~ RCW) that apply to scenic systems do not apply to 1-5.
WAC 468w66-030 states the following:
WAC 468-66-030. General provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the act or
these regulations, no signs visible from the main-traveled way of the interstate system,
primary system, or scenic system which have any of the following characteristics shall be
erected or maintained:
(7) Signs which contain, include, or are illuminated by any flashing, intermittent, or
moving light or lights (except those signs giving public service infonnation).
(9) Signs which move or have any animated or moving parts (except revolving signs giving
public service information).
(12) Electronic signs may be used only to advertise activities conducted or goods and
services available on the property on which the signs are located or to present public
service information.
(a) Advertising messages may contain words, phrases, sentences, symbols, trade-
marks, and logos. A single message or a segment of a message must have a
display time of at least two seconds including the time to move onto the sign
board, with all segments of the total message to be displayed within ten seconds.
A message consisting of only one segment may remain on the sign board as long
as desired.
(b) Electronic signs requiring more than four seconds to change from one single
message display to another shall be turned off during the change interval.
(c) Displays traveling horizontally across the sign board must move between sixteen
and thirty-two light columns per second. Displays can scroll onto the sign board
but must hold for two seconds including scrolling.
(d) Sign displays shall not include any art animations or graphics that portray motion,
except for movement of graphics onto or off of the sign board as previously
described.
Based on the above, WAC 468-66-030 clearly prohibits animated signs. In addition, WSDOT
has stated in a June 19, 2002, letter that the collision rate is higher by 360 percent for the section
ofthe northbound Interstate 5 where the Fife animated sign is visible, compared to a section just
to the north where the sign is not visible (Exhibit A). However, WSDOT does allow electronic
changeable message signs and changeable copy signs.
2.
Consider allowing the maximum area per sign face to be 300 square feet as opposed to 250
square feet.
Planning Commission Memorandum
2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
March 15,2005
Page 3
Staff Response:
Staff reviewed sign codes for the six cities shown in the following table and found that the
maximum area per sign face ranged from 100 square feet in the City of Olympia to 300 feet for
the City of Bellingham. Billboards are normally 300 square foot area per sign face. In addition,
WAC 468-66, Highway Advertising Control Act, limits Type 3 (on-premise) signs to 150 square
feet per sign face and 20 feet in any dimension if they are located more than 50 feet from the
advertised activity. In general, for purposes of measuring the 50-foot distance, advertised activity
may be considered the common parking lot for a shopping center.

3.
Meet with property and business owners.
Staff Response:
All property owners and business owners (Exhibit B) potentially affected by the proposed code
amendment (please see Exhibit C - Map of Subject Properties) were provided with a transmittal
letter explaining the proposed code amendment and invited to a meeting on June 1, 2004
(Exhibit D). Sign contractors were provided a copy ofthe draft code amendment and were asked
for their input (Exhibit E). They were all notified that the Planning Commission public hearing
was continued to June 15,2005, at which time they could also provide input. Four people
attended the June 1 st meeting-Claudia Mizukami and another gentleman representing Fast
Signs, a sign manufacturing business; Jeff Oliphant, representing Federal Way Market Place (the
new WalMart); and Michael Mann with the Peninsula Group, representing the Super 8 Motel.
The four attendees provided the following comments:
(1) Concerns were expressed about whether trees on state property could be trimmed to allow
visibility of signs.
Planning Commission Memorandum
2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
March 15,2005
Page 4
Staff Response:
Staff checked with Pat O'Leary from WSDOT and was told that the state does not presently
have a policy for tree trimming; however, they are working on a policy. It is presently
prohibited to remove vegetation or other natural features located within the state highway
right-of.way that may act as visual obstructions (WAC 468-66-010[27]).
(2) One person wanted to be sure that more than one business name could be placed on a sign.
Staff Response:
As can be seen from Exhibit C, there are a number of properties meeting the definition of
"subject property":
"Subject property means the entire lot or parcel, or series oflots or parcels, on
which a development, activity or use is or will locate or on which any activity or
condition regulated by or subject to this chapter is or will occur or take place."
Developed sites with more than one business meeting the definition of "subject property"
include:
(d) Gateway Center
(e) BP Mini-martlFederal Way CenterlLa Quinta
(f) Office Depot/G.!. Joe/Costco/Olive GardenlPopeye's
(g) Home Depot/Video Only
A decision as to whether more than one business name could be placed on the sign would
have to be agreed upon by the owner of the sign and the other businesses that are
considered part of the subject property. In addition, the available space on the sign (total
square footage of the sign face) and the sign font used would playa part in determining
how much information could be displayed on the sign.
(3) Would a changeable time and temperature sign be allowed?
Staff Response:
Time and temperature sign means any sign that displays the current time and temperature,
without any commercial message. A time and temperature sign can be changed either by
electronic or mechanical means. Time and temperature signs are not considered to be a
changeable copy sign and may be included with any sign without being included for
purposes of calculating maximum sign area or maximum number of signs.
(4) There was a question about font size.
Staff Response:
Based on input from contractors, staff is proposing a minimum font size of two feet, but no
maximum font size. We could find no specific guidance ftom the state except for the
definition of "legible" and "visible" as follows:
WAC 468-66(11) defines "legible" as capable of being read without visual aid by a person
of normal visual acuity.
Planning Commission Memorandum
2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
March 15,2005
Page 5
WAC 468-66(21) defines "visible" as capable of being seen (whether or not legible)
without visual aid by a person of normal visual acuity.
(5) There was a concern that WSDOT has landscaped areas that can both distance and block
the sign from the freeway. .
Staff Response: .
The state does have treed areas set aside as beautification strips and as mentioneq above,
staff checked with Pat O'Leary from WSDOT and was told that the state does not presently
have a policy for tree trimming; however, they are working on a policy. It is presently
prohibited to remove vege~ation or other natural features located within the state highway
right-of-way that may act as visual obstructions (WAC 468-66-010[27]).
(6) The Federal Way Market Place (new WalMart site) is unique. Due to state landscape area
and hill, any sign fitting the proposed changes would not be seen from the freeway.
Staff Response:
Since the June 1 st meeting, staff has been working with Jeff Oliphant, the owner of the
Federal Way Market Place, to determine where a freeway profile sign could be placed on
the site and be visible from the freeway. This property has unique characteristics since there
is a state beautification strip, located on a hill, between the Federal Way Market Place and
1.5. There is also a stream with a 50.foot stream buffer on either side and the developed
site, once graded, would be at a lower elevation than the freeway. As a result, we have been
unable to identify a suitable location for a sign that would be visible from the freeway due
to existing trees on state property and the other site characteristics.
(7) Does the Scenic Vistas Act affect Pacific Highway South?
Staff Re:,ponse:
Pacific Highway South does fall under the jurisdiction of the Scenic Vistas Act. However,
this code amendment does not propose to allow freeway profile signs along Pacific
Highway South.
(7) Would City consider allowing changeable copy ifthe font is over two square feet?
Staff Response:
Planning Commission may wish to discuss this during the continuation ofthe public
hearing on June 15, 200~.
(8) In the situation of the Super 8 Motel, would a gravel parking lot for trucks be considered an
acceptable activity under the Scenic Vistas Act?
Staff Response:
This question will be responded to separately after additional staff research.
4.
Check Forest Practices to be sure we can top trees when parcel is over five acres.
Planning Conunission Memorandum
2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
March 15,2005
Page 6
Staff Response:
Forest Practices relate to growing, harvesting, or processing timber, including, but not limited to,
road construction and maintenance, thinning, salvage, harvesting, reforestation, brush control,
and using fertilizers or pesticides. Thinning or trimming of trees along 1-5 would fall under a
Class I forest practice. Class I forest practices have been determined to have no direct potential
for damaging a public resource. According the Forest Practices Act, and information from the
State Department of Natural Resources staff, if thinning or trimming of trees is being conducted
outside of a sensitive area, no permit is required (Exhibit F).
5.
Consider tree/obstacle exemption for parcels below the freeway.
The draft code amendment presented to the Planning Commission proposed the following
language:
Sign hei~ht. A freeway profile sign shall not exceed 25 feet above the elevation of the
nearest driving lane of the freeway at a point nearest to the proposed location of the sign. If
the subject property has an elevation lower than the freeway. then the sign shall be no taller
than 60 feet above the averalZe finished 1ZI'0und elevation measured at the midpoint of the
sign base. If the subject property has an elevation that is hilZher than the nearest drivinlZ lane
of the freeway. then the sign shall be no taller than 20 feet above the average finshed
1ZI'0und elevation measured at the midpoint of the sign base. However. the maximum heilZht
ofthe sign can be increased to 40 feet above the averalZe [mshed ground elevation measured
at the midpoint of the sign base in order to be visible above trees or other obstructions.
subject to the director's approval.
Staff Response:
We have prepared a map of all affected properties below the freeway, looking at possible
locations for freeway profile signs on each property or subject property given the existing
location of trees adjacent to the freeway and determining what the height of the signs would be
based on the existing draft language. This map is attached as Exhibit G. The map shows the
subject parcels based on their elevation relative to the freeway. Potential sign locations are
drawn as well as the freeway measuring point. Locations above the freeway are shaded green;
those below are shaded purple. In addition, the approximate height of each sign is displayed in a
blue call-out box. Sign heights have only been calculated for propertied below the fteeway. The
maximum sign heights vary from 28 feet above grade on the vacant parcel shown as Property 14,
to 68 feet on the Costco subject property (Property 12). Based on this information, additional
discussion is warranted for maximum height of signs both above and below the freeway (please
see discussion under 3(6) - Feßeral Way Market Place, above).
6.
The Commissioners requested a copy of the Power Point presentation from the April 20, 2005,
Planning Commission public hearing.
Staff Response:
The Power Point presentation has been provided to the Planning Commission.
7.
Would any parcels in the PAA be affected?
Planning Commission Memorandum
2004 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
March 15,2005
Page 7
Staff Response:
Please refer to Exhibit C. There are five parcels (Numbers 5-9) that are located within the City's
Potential Annexation Area (P AA) that will be affected once they are annexed to the City. These
parcels were given a pre-annexation comprehensive plan designation and zoning of Community
Business (Be). For the most part, these parcels are under separate ownership, but could be
developed as one subject property.
8.
Check with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) about regu,lations on
distances between signs and size offontsfor freeway signs.
Staff Response: .
Staff contacted the state; howe~er, the information provided was for directional and other
WSDOT -related information along the highway and not for private commercial signs. Staff will
continue to research this issue.
9.
Which parcels would be allowed a sign?
Staff Response:
Please refer to Exhibit C, map, which shows "subject" properties. A "subject" property is
allowed one additional ffeeway profile sign..
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the public hearing be continued to July 27, 2005.
V.

Tulalip Tribes Planning Commission
Tulalip Community Development Department
6700 Totem Beach Road
Marysville, W A 98271
Dear Tulalip Tribes Planning Commission:
Conditional use permit application CU2002-01 is proposing to install a "115 foot tall
freestanding pylon sign with a 30 x 40 foot color video display screen" west of Interstate
5 at the entrance to the new casino. The Washington State Department of Transportation
is concerned with the safety ofthe Interstate 5 motorists as a result ofthe new sign.
There has been a significant increase in collisions near a similar sign along 1-5 near the
King/Pierce County line. Washington State Department of Transportation recommends
against usage of a moving picture type sign for this reason. In fact, the Scenic Vista Act
(RCW 47.42 and WAC 468-66) limits the use of video displays to on advertising only on-
premise activities. The Scenic Vista Act also limits the types of movements, flashing and
scrolling that can take place on electronic signs. We would like to see a traditional, static
billboard sign instead of a video sign.
The video sign was installed in 1997 on west side of Interstate 5 at the Pierce/King
County line. Collision data was evaluated at a section of the northbound Interstate 5
where the sign is visible and section just north of the sign where the sign was no longer
visible. The number of collisions was almost equal for the two sections ofthe Interstate
before the sign was installed during the years 1995 and 1996. The number of collisions
almost doubled for the section of the Interstate 5 where the sign is visible and after the
sign became operational. The collision rate is higher by 360% from the section of the
Interstate 5 where the sign is visible compared with a section just north where the sign is
no longer visible during the years 1999 and 2000. While this is preliminary research on
the traffic safety effects of the video sign, we will continue to monitor video signs. If a
conclusive link is made between the video signs and traffic collisions we will inform
video sign owners and operators about the serious traffic safety problems their signs are
creating. Below is the summary of the accident data:

Washington State Department of Transportation recommends against the installation of
the video sign because of the mounting evidence that such signs distracts motorists from
their driving tasks and increases the number of collisions. I request that the Tulalip
Tribes Planning Commission consider the use of a static sign to minimize the impact to
the driving public. Thank you for this opportunity to provide comments for the proposed
sign. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Re:

Draft Language for Freeway Profile Signs
The City of Federal Way is in the process of drafting amendments to the sign code to allow for a new
category of signs to be adopted for properties adjacent to I~5. The Planning Commission held a public
hearing on April20, 2005, and wílI be continuing this hearing on June 15,2005. We are enclosing a copy
of the draft language for Freeway Profile Signs and we would like to invite you to a meeting in the City of
Federal Way City Hall Council Chambers at 8:00 a.m., on June 1,2005.
At that time, we will explain how the code would work, if adopted as drafted, and will answer any
questions you may have. We would also like to hear any suggestions or recommendations concerning the
new Freeway Profile Signs.
The following summarizes how Freeway Profile Signs would work based on the existing draft:
1.
Only properties abutting 1-5 and located within the City Center-Core (CC~C) and
Community Business (BC) zoning districts would be eligible for an additional pylon or
pole sign.
2.
A pylon or pole sign must have a minimum of two poles. It may have one pole or
structural support if it results in superior design; however, the City's Community
Development Services Director must approve this.
3.
Signs must be oriented toward 1-5, be visible from 1~5 (not the off-ramps), and be located
near the property line closest to 1-5.
4.
Design of the sign must be compatible to the architecture of the primary structure on the
site, or to the primary sign(s) already permitted.
5.
Font sizes must be a minimum of two (2) feet tall.
6.
Animated or moving signs, electronic changeable copy, changeable copy, or electronic
message centers will not be pemitted.

7.
If the sign is located on property adjacent to the freeway and the property on which the
sign is to be located is below the elevation ofthe freeway, the height of the sign shall be
no taller than 25 feet above the elevation of the freeway; however, the sign can be no
taller than 60 feet above the average finished ground elevation measured at the midpoint
of the sign base.
8.
If the sign is located on property adjacent to the freeway and the property on which the
sign is to be located is above the elevation of the freeway, the sign can be no taller than
20 feet above the average finished ground elevation measured at the mid-point ofthe
base. However, sign height can be increased up to a maximum of 40 feet above the
average finished ground elevation measured at the mid-point ofthe base in order to be
visible above trees or other obstructions. Any increase in height above 20 feet is subject
to the approval of the City's Community Development Services Director.
9.
Maximum sign area is 500 square feet, 250 square feet per sign face.
10.
The State of Washington has requirements for locating signs next to freeways. The
applicant must obtain any required permits or approvals from the state.
If you are unable to attend the meeting, you may submit your comments in writing addressed to:

Re: Request for infomation on Forest Practice Act
Margaret,
Good morning! The WACs give the definitions of the Classification of Forest
Practice Activities. You can find these In WAC 222-16-050. The activities
listed under the Class I permits do not require a permiit from the Dept. of
Natural Resources. If you are inquiring about thinning commercially and not
being in a sensitive area then you would not need a permit.
If you have further questions or need further clarification don't hesitate to
ask me or Sherry Tomlinson via e-mail or call us at 360-802-7054.

Hi Charlotte,
I have a very small question. Is there some place specific in the WAC
where I can find tree trimming to be exempt from the Forest Practices
Act. Or is there a brochure or cheat sheet that explains the Act in
layman's terms? I know intuitively that it has to be an exemption. but I
can't- find a specific reference. I am responding to a series of
questions from the Planning Commission.
Thanks in advance for your help.
