CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
ORDINANCE NO. 06-
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FEDERAL WAY, WASHINGTON, AMENDING FEDERAL WAY CITY
CODE (FWCC) CHAPTER 22, ARTICLE XI, "DISTRICT
REGULATIONS," SPECIFIC TO THE CITY CENTER CORE DISTRICT
AND RELATED TO THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF STRUCTURES
CONTAINING RESIDENTIAL UNITS (AMENDING ORDINANCE NO'S.
90-43,93-170,96-270,97-291, and 06-515)
WHEREAS, the City of Federal Way adopted Ordinance No. 96-270 in July 1996, which significantly
revised the Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Chapter 22 (Zoning), specifically related to the Federal Way
City Center;
WHEREAS, the City of Federal Way finds that amending FWCC Chapter 22, Article XI, "District
Regulations," related to the maximum height limit for' structures containing residential units the City
Center Core District, furthers the intent of Chapter 36.70A RCW, Growth Management;
WHEREAS, the City of Federal Way finds that these code amendments will implement and are
consistent with the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on these code
amendments on October 18, 2006, and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City Council;
WHEREAS, the Land Use/Transportation Committee of the Federal Way City Council considered
these code amendments on November 6, 2006, following which it recommended adoption of the text
amendments as recommended by the Planning Commission;
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the code amendments to raise the maximum height limit to
200 feet for structures containing residential units in the City Center Core zoning district provide greater
incentives for development in the Federal Way City Center, encourage "smart growth" in one of King
County's designated Urban Centers, help fulfill the vision, goals and policies of the Federal Way
Ord No. 06 -

Comprehensive Plan, and are consistent with the intent and purpose of FWCC Chapter 22 (Zoning) to
provide for and promote the health, safety, and welfare ofthe general public.
Now, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings. After full and careful consideration, the City Council of the City of Federal Way
finds that the proposed code amendments will protect and will not adversely affect the public health,
safety, or welfare.
Section 2. Conclusions. Pursuant to FWCC Sections 22-216 and 22-528, and based upon the
Findings set forth in Section I, the Federal Way City Council makes the following Conclusions of Law
with respect to the decisional criteria necessary for the adoption of the proposed amendments:
\. .
I. The proposed FWCC text ainendmentis consistent with, and substantially
implements, the FederaL Way Comprehensive Plan goals to accommodate future City
residential growth within the City Center "to create a higher-density, mixed-use 'center'
for Federal Way, and become an Urban Center as envisioned in VISION 2020."
Specifically, City Center Goal #13 in the Comprehensive Plan indicates that the City
Center zoning districts are intended to "(f)ocus growth, with resultant increasing demands
for infrastructure and transportation, in the City Center, specifically the core area.. . (and)
(a)llow for higher intensity uses for efficient use of land."
By pursuing additional residential development in the City Center-Core zoning district
through the incentive of greater height, for the reasons listed above, the proposed
amendment would fulfill this general Goal. In addition, this amendment would further
the following specific City Center Policies:
. CCP3 - Continue to support land use regulations that allow the higher intensity
development expected over the next 15 to 30 years; and
~ CCP8 - Provide incentives to encourage residential development in the City
Center core area.
2. The proposed FWCC text amendment bears a relationship to the public health,
safety, and welfare by furthering several important City Center goals and policies.
Consequently, the text amendment promotes the public health, safety and welfare by
fostering "smart growth" in concert with the Comprehensive Plan.
And
Ord No. 06 -
, Page 2
3. The proposed FWCC text amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the
City because it fosters "smart growth" by encouraging greater redevelopment investment
in the City Center, in fulfillment ofthe Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies.
Redevelopment of currently vacant and/or under-utilized City Center land for residential
and mixed-use development may provide the following, and other, benefits to City
residents:
. The City Center is more capable of accommodating demands for future
residential growth, relieving pressure on the neighborhoods for additional
and/or denser development;
. The City Center is adjacent to Interstate 5 and serves as a regional transit
hub. New residential development in this location is, therefore, very well
served by both conventional and mass transportation modes, thereby
reducing the relative traffic impacts of such new development on the
remainder ofthe City;
. The potential for development of high-rise residential may trigger greater
interest in City Center redevelopment. Through redevelopment of currently
under-utilized City Center parcels, these and surrounding parcels see
substantial appreciation in assessed value. Consequently, as more and more
redevelopment occurs, the City Center incrementally contributes more to the
City tax revenues and shoulders an increasing percentage of the overall City
tax burden;
. The development of higher-density residential uses in the' City Center
increases the likelihood that a fuller array of retail goods and services will
have a ready market of consumers, thereby increasing the array of such
goods and services for 'all City residents;
. The development ofhigher-d~nsity residential uses in the City Center also
increases the likelihood that the Federal Way Transit Center will see greater
usage, thereby increasing the likelihood that future investments in transit
.enhancements will be seen favorably by regional decisionmakers.
Section 3. Amendment. FWCC Chapter 22, Article Xl, "District Regulations," is amended as set forth
in the attached Exhibit A.
Section 4. Severability. The provisions of this ordinance are declared separate and severable. The
invalidity of any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section, or portion of this ordinance, or the
invalidity of the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall not affect the validity of the
remainder of the ordinance, or the validity of its application to any other persons or circumstances.
Section 5. Ratification. Any act consistent with the authority and prior to the effective date of this
ordinance is hereby ratified and affirmed.
Ord No. 06 -

Section 6. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be effective five (5) days after passage and
publication as provided by law.

City Center-Core Residential Height Limit
(File Number 06-104925-00-UP)
Policv Issue
Should the Planning Commission recommend approval to City Council of a change to the text of the City
Center-Core "district regulations" at FWCC 22-797 to allow greater maximum height for structures
containing residential dwelling units from the current limit of 85 feet to either 145 feet or 200 feet?
Backqround
Comprehensive Plan
In 1995 the City Council approved the City's first Comprehensive Plan, pursuant to the Growth.
Management Act (GMA), In order to engage public involvement and input into the comprehensive
planning process, the City hired consultants who conducted a process called "CityShape" that offered
active opportunities for community input. Through this input, the public expressed its preferences about '
the City Center that are encapsulated in the Comprehensive Plan's "City Center" chapter. Chiefarnong
those preferences are the following statements:
. Create an identifiable downtown that is the social and economic focus of the City;
. Strengthen the City as a whole by providing for long-term growth in employment and housing (in
the City Center);
. Promote housing opportunities close to employment;
.' Support development of an extensive regional transportation system;
. Reduce dependency on automobiles;
. Consume less land with urban development;
. Maximize the benefit of public investment in infrastructure and services;
. Provide a central gathering place for the community; and
. Improve the quality of urban design for all developments.
In pursuit of the City Center plan, the City created tWo City Center zones: the City Center Core and City
Center Frame, The Core was established "to create a higher-density, mixed-use 'center' for Federal Way,
and become an Urban Center as envisioned in VISION 2020," pursuant to the GMA. The Frame was
established to "provide a zone for dense mixed-use development that surrounds and supports the Core. It
also provides a transition between high-activity areas in the Core area and less dense neighborhoods
outside the Frame,"
As such, the Core and Frame contain different height limits for different uses, Generally speaking, the
Core provides for greater height limits for similar uses than available in the Frame. The following are
some principal uses within both zones and their corresponding maximum height limits:
,
Memo to Planning Commission
City Center-Core Height Limit Increase

USE City Center Frame City Center Core
Office 35 feet 145 feet
Retail 35 feet 95
Entertainment 60 feet 95
Hotel 45 feet 145 feet
Residential 85 feet 85 feet
As you can see, while structures housing most uses are afforded a higher height limit within the City
Center Core zone, for some reason residential structures are given no additional height in the Core over
the limit in the Frame, .
Actions to Promote City Center Development
Since adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, the City has pursued numerous actions to ready the City
Center environment for investment and/or even offer incentives for redevelopment in fulfillment of the
Comprehensive Plan vision. Several of these actions are:
Allowance of five stories of wood frame construction over a concrete base, up from only four;
. Substantial Zoning Code Changes, approved February 2006, to facilitate Comprehensive Plan"
.. 'c~m7Pliant redevelopment and remove barriers to multifamily and mixed-use deveiopment;
~?ntinued City investment in substantial infrastructure improvements in the City Center;
City engagement of the Leland Consulting Group to provide up-to-date market information to,.
: ~upporrredevelopment and a set of City Center red~vel6pment strategies; .
City Council official commitment to consideration of public-private partnerships and concomitant
creation of a $5-million City Center redevelopment fund;
Substantial marketing of the City Center redevelopment opportunities through brochure, .
advertising, press releases and personal contacts; AND
City Center SEPA "Planned Action" and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
SEPA Planned Action and EIS
.
.
.
.
.
'.
.
Pursuant to City Council direction, dating back to 2001, the City embarked on development of a SEPA .
"Planned Action" and supporting EIS to cover a central north-south-oriented swath of the City Center (see
attached map, "Exhibit A"), covering both City Center-Core and City Center-Frame zoning districts. State
law (RCW 43.21C.031(2)(a) and WAC 197-11-164) enables Planned Actions as a means of fostering
redevelopment and growth in urban centers, pursuant to the Growth Management Act. Once a City
completes the required EIS, it may adopt a "Planned Action Ordinance" that offers a substantially
streamlined environmental and land use permit review process, as well as any associated master plans,
comprehensive plan amendments or zoning code amendments.
The Federal Way City Center Planned Action EIS analyzes the impacts from development in the City
Center "Planned Action" area over a ten-year period, as follows:
USES DEVELOPMENT "ENVELOPE"
Retail 750,000 SF
Office 350,000 SF
LOdqinq 600 rooms
Residential 750 units
Civic 100,000 SF
. Structured Parking 750 stalls

City Center-Core Height Limit Increase
October 10,2006
Page 3 of8
In addition, the Federal Way City Center Planned Action EIS analyzes the impacts associated with a
height limit increase for residential structures within the entire City Center Core area - not just that within
the "Planned Action" area.
Two alternatives, in addition to the "No Action" alternative, were analyzed in the EIS:
1. Maximum height limit of 145 feet
2. Maximum height limit of 200 feet
The Federal Way City Center Planned Action Draft EIS was issued on June 26, 2006. A public hearing on
the EIS was held on July 13, 2006 at the Federal Way City Hall, Council Chambers, and the associated
public comment period ended on July 25, 2006. A Final EIS was issued on September 8, 2006.
After publication of the FEIS, the City may proceed with consideration of the two actions served by this
EIS: the SEPA Planned Action Ordinance and the City Center Core residential height limit increase. While
analyzed within the same EIS, these two actions are otherwise unrelated and may proceed independently.
The PlannepAGtion Ordinance will establish an expedited SEPA review process for development projects
that conform with the Planned Action EIS, Those projects will be exempt from individual, independent
SEPA revieW and will otherwise undergo a simpler arid more expedifed review for compliance with the,
Planned A.ction, Measures mitigating environmental iri1p~cts have been pre-identified in the EIS and will
be incorporated" by reference in the PlannedAction Ordinance, as approved by City Council. Curreritly it is
anticipated that City Council will take up consideration of the Planned Action Ordinance in the latter part of
this year. , .. .,', .
The City CehterCore height limit increase fOr structures containing multifamily uses is a development ".
regulation, not a process regulation. As such, it may be considered independently. The impacts related to
potentially taller multifamily and mixed-use buildings were analyzed in the Federal Way City Center
Planned Action EIS and can be summarized as follows:
ENVIRONMENTAL
ELEMENT
Air Quality
COMMENTS
Land Use
Increased development potential may lead to increased vehicle trips (see
below), leading to increased automobile-generated pollutants. EIS analysis
indicates that ollutants would remain below allowable air uali standards.
Mix and juxtaposition of uses would not be changed, although more marked
transition between older, low":scale buildings and newer, taller buildings would
be likel .
Taller residential buildings would allow a potentially greater residential
o ulation and densit in the Cit Center Core.

Glare
Proposed height increase to 20.0.' would allow buildings of incrementally
greater height and bulk than currently allowed for commercial buildings
(145} More "high-rise" buildings would be possible than today. Shadow
impacts would be greater. Juxtaposition between older, low-scale buildings
and newer, taller buildings would be more noticeable.
Proposed height increase to 145' would allow buildings of same height and
bulk as is currently allowed for commercial buildings. More "high-rise"
buildings would be possible than today. Shadow impacts would be greater
than today, but lesser than 20.0.' alternative.
In both cases views from low-scale buildings could be impaired to varying
degrees,
Transportation ,
A mitigating condition related to greater height for residential structures is the
propensity for residential floor-plates to be smaller than commercial ftoor-
plates, resulting in less upper-level bulk in exchange for greater height. (See
also accompanying proposed code language to require floors above 14(5' to
be limited to no more t.han 80.% of the floor-plate below.)
The Planned Action analyzes likely development over a ten-year period, with
a total of 2,727 additional PM peak hour trips distributed throughout the City
roadway system by 20.0.9 (or the at such time as the equivalent development
is realized) and a total(jf up to 5,0.97 PM peak hour trips distributed
throughout the City roadway system by 20.14 (or the at such time as the
equivalent development is realized). .
In the unmitigated condition, this additional level of PM peak hour trips would
congest several intersections to level of service F, As a consequence, all of
the projects slated for the City's Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) are
recommended to be constructed, plus two additional mitigation projects:
. Add 2nd northboundL turn lane at S 31ih/Pac Highway
· Optimize signal timing at S 336th/Pac Highway
Public Services
The transportation impacts associated with marginally greater population
assoCiated with potentially taller multifamily structures is covered by this
analysis and mitiQation.
Taller multifamily structures and marginally greater population will result in
marginally greater need for police, fire, and parks services. These impacts
, are disclosed in the EIS. No siqnificant, unmitiQable impacts are foreseen.
Lakehaven Utility District indicates that it will have available capacity to
provide domestic water and sanitary sewer service to the City Center under
the entire Planned Action growth scenarios, including the marginally greater
population associated with taller multifamily structures.
Utilities
Increased demand for energy and telecommunications services will also
result, but not to siqnificant levels.
Proposal
The current proposal is to consider amending FWCC 22-797 to allow greater height for structures
containing multifamily dwelling units in the City Center-Core zone, Two alternatives are available for
Memo to Planning Commission
City Center-Core Height Limit Increase
October 10, 2006
Page 5 of8
consideration over the "no action" alternative of staying at the current limit of 85 feet:
Alternative 1: 145 feet (See attached "Exhibit B")
Alternative 2: 200 feet. In addition, with this alternative, code language is proposed that would
require floor-plates above 145 feet to occupy no more than 80% of the floor-plate area
immediately below the 145-foot level. (See attached "Exhibit C")
These two height alternatives were set by the City Council at the beginning of t.he Planned Action EIS
process.
This proposal is made as an additional means of providing an incentive for redevelopment of the City
Center. Greater potential height for residential structures could provide the following benefits to parties
interested in pursuing redevelopment:
. Additional flexibility on a site to provide a range of housing options (low-rise, mid-rise, high-rise);
. Potential to provide more view units that could help sustain higher unit priceslrents to assist in
financial feasibility of redevelopment;
. Additional height to recoup the costs associated with high-rise construction, required above
approximately 65 feet. Currently it is infeasible that qevelopers of multifamily structures would
utilize the 85-foot height limit since it requires the more expensive, high-rise construction type for
only a couple of floors of greater height than the less expensive, wood-frame-over-concrete
construction up to 65 feet; and,
. Additional development potential to help meet City Center housing growth targets and to provide
additional, proximate support to retail and service establishments within the City Center.
Analysis
Codified Criteria
FWCC 22-528 sets out the criteria for considering zoning text amendments, These criteria are presented
below, followed by a corresponding response:
The City may amend the text of this chapter only if it finds that:
1 . The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the
comprehensive plan.
As mentioned above, the City Center-Core zoning district was established in the
Comprehensive Plan to "to create a higher-density, mixed-use 'center' for Federal
Way, and become an Urban Center as envisioned in VISION 2020," pursuant to the
GMA.
Specifically, City Center Goal #13 in the Comprehensive Plan indicates that the City
Center zoning districts are. intended to "(f)ocus growth, with resultant increasing
demands for infrastructure and transportation, in the City Center, specifically the core
area... (and) (a)lIow for higher intensity uses for efficient use of land."
By pursuing additional residential development in the City Center-Core zoning district
through the incentive of greater height, for the reasons listed above, the proposed
amendment would fulfill this general Goal. In addition, this amendment would further
the following specific City Center Policies:
Memo to Planning Commission
City Center-Core Height Limit Increase
October 10, 2006
Page 60f8
. CCP3 - Continue to support land use regulations that allow the higher
intensity development expected over the next 15 to 30 years; and
. CCP8 - Provide incentives to encourage residential development in the City
Center core area.
2. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to the public health, safety, or
welfare.
As the proposed amendment is a land use regulation, its principal relation to the
public health, safety or welfare is manifest through its relative fulfillment of the
Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies. As mentioned above; the amendment
furthers several important City Center goals and policies, and for that reason,
promotes the public health, safety and welfare by fostering "smart growth" in concert
with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The proposed amendment is in the best interest of the residents of the City.
Similar to the analysis above, the proposed amendment fosters "smart growth" by
encouraging greater redevelopment investment in the City Center, in fulfillment of the
Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies. Redevelopment of currently vacant and/or
under-utilized City Center land for residential and mixed-use development may
provide the following, and other, benefits to City residents:
. The City CElnter is more capable of accommodating demands for future
residential growth, relieving pressure on the neighborhoods for additional
and/or denser development;
. The City Center is adjacent to Interstate 5 and serves as a regional transit
hub, New residential development in this location is, therefore, very well
served by both conventional and mass transportation modes, thereby
reducing the relative traffic impacts of such new development on the
remainder of the City;
. The potential for development of high-rise residential may trigger greater
interest in City Center redevelopment. Through redevelopment of currently
under-utilized City Center parcels, these and surrounding parcels see
substantial appreciation in assessed value. Consequently, as more and more
redevelopment occurs, the City Center incrementally contributes more to the
City tax revenues and shoulders an increasing percentage of the overall City
tax burden;
. The development of higher-density residential uses in the City Center
increases the likelihood that a fuller array of retail goods and services will
have a ready market of consumers, thereby increasing the array of such
goods and services for all City residents;
. The development of higher-density residential uses in the City Center also
increases the likelihood that the Federal Way Transit Center will see greater
usage, thereby increasing the likelihood that future investments in transit
enhancements will be seen favorably by regional decisionmakers.
Additionally, with Alternative 2 (200-foot limit) the proposal to limit floor-plates above
145 feet to 80% of the area of the floor-plates below 145 feet offers mitigation of
upper-level height and bulk.
In summary, the proposed zoning code text amendment satisfies the codified criteria for consideration of
Memo to Planning Commission
City Center-Core Height Limit Increase

zoning text amendments.
Statements Pro and Con for Each of the Two Height Limit Options
145 feet
Pros:
· This proposal would provide an additional incentive for multifamily and mixed-use development
over the existing height limit;
· This proposal would incrementally raise the height limit for multifamily structures to equal the
maximum height limit for commercial buildings and, as such, would not exceed the current height
limit. The additional height, bulk and scale associated with taller residential structures would not
be realized,
Cons:
· . This proposal would provide less flexibility to provide a range of hoUsing options on a particular
site than the 200-footheight limit; · .,
'. ' This proposal could provide less financial feasibility for high-rise construction by providing a lesser
. amount of additional floors above the existing height limit to justify the high-rise construction type,
200 feet
Pros> .
· This proposal would provide even greater incentive for multifamily and mixed-use development
over the existing height limit. It is anticipated that this level of additional development
(approximately 12 additional stories) would provide substantial opportunity to provide sufficient
higher-priced, view dwelling units to help justify the higher high-rise construction costs;
· This proposal would provide greater flexibility to a site to accommodate a range of housing types:
low-rise, mid-rise and high~rise.
Cons:
· This proposal would create greater height, bulk and scale impacts by allowing for residential
towers to rise above commercial towers in the City Center. The accompanying proposal to limit
floor-plates above 145 feet to 80% of the floor-plate area below the 145-foot level helps to
mitigate this upper71evel height and bulk. .
Staff Recommendation
Given that the purpose of a higher height limit for multifamily and mixed-use buildings in the City Center is
intended to create greater incentive for redevelopment of City Center parcels, staff believes that the
greater the incentive, the more likely such redevelopment will occur.
The 200-foot height limit provides this greater incentive, both due to the higher height justifying the costs
of high-rise construction, as well as the ability to provide a greater range of housing product. While the
taller residential and mixed-use buildings would create greater height and upper-level bulk in the future
City Center skyline, staff believes that the generally slimmer profile of residential floor-plates versus
commercial floor-plates may provide sufficient compensation for somewhat higher height (up to 55 feet
Memo to Planning Commission
City Center-Core Height Limit Increase
October 10, 2006
Page 8 of8
taller than commercial construction).
For these reasons, staff recommends approval of Alternative 2: 200-foot maximum height limit for
structures containing multifamily dwelling units in the City Center-Core zone and accompanying upper-
level bulk limit, as detailed in the proposed amended zoning code text, attached as "Exhibit C".

MEETING MINUTES
Commissioners present: Hope Elder, Dave Osaki, Dini Duclos, Merle Pfeifer, Bill Drake, Pam Duncan-Pierce, and
Lawson Bronson. Commissioners absent: none. Alternate Commissioners present: Richard Agnew. Alternate
Commissioners absent: none. Staff present: Economic Development Director Patrick Doherty, City Attorney Pat
Richardson, and Administrative Assistant E. Tina Piety.
Chairperson Elder called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
ApPROV AL OF MINUTES
Commissioner Duclos moved and it was seconded to adopt the August 16, 2006, minutes. The motion was carried.
AUDIENCE COMMENT
None
ADMINISTRATIVE REpORT
Ms. Piety informed that Commission that since the City Council will be holding a budget meeting November 1 S\
the next Planning Commission meeting will be a special meeting on November 8,2006 (it is a special meeting
because it is not being held on a regularly scheduled meeting day). She also reminded them that a Planners Short
Course will be held November 15,2006. The Short Course will start at 6:30 p.m.
COMMISSION BUSINESS
PUBLIC HEARING - City Center-Core Height Limits Code Amendment
Mr. Doherty delivered the staff presentation. The proposed change is to allow greater maximum height for
structures containing residential dwelling units from the current limit of 85 feet to either 145 or 200 feet.
Commissioner Bronson asked why the city should allow residential buildings to be taller than hotels. Mr. Doherty
replied that currently, the maximum height for residential is much lower than for commercial. The City Council
considered this issue and concluded that there may be more potential for residential developments than for hotels. It
was noted that all residential development in the City Center-Core would be part of a mixed-use development.
Commissioner Osaki commented that on figure 5 of the City Center Planned Action Final Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS), three alternatives are listed and for Alternates I and 2, the total number of residential units is 750.
Does the proposed change in height make any difference on the number of units anticipated to 2014? Mr. Doherty
responded that the growth assumptions are not dependent on the proposed height limit change. Staff believes it is
possible to meet the growth assumption with or without the proposed height change. It is believed that the
proposed height change would give a greater incentive to developers.

Planning Commission Minutes

October 18,2006
Commissioner Osaki asked how many more units are anticipated at the proposed 200 foot height limit as opposed
to the proposed 145 foot height limit~ Mr. Doherty replied that the proposal was not analyzed that way, especially
since there is no density limit in the City Center currently. It is more a redistribution of units as opposed to have
more units (such as larger units). The proposed height limit change would offer greater choice.
Commissioner Drake asked what drives the proposed limitation of the floor plate above 145 feet to no more than
80 percent of the area of the floor plate immediately below the 145-foot level (80 percent "taper" clause). Mr.
Doherty replied it is mainly aesthetics. Commissioner Drake then commented that he is concerned this requirement
could turn away potential development.
Commissioner Drake asked if the city was considering increasing the height for commercial development in the
CC-c. Mr. Doherty replied that it was not considered as part of the City Center Planned Action EIS, Ifthe city was
to consider increasing the height for commercial development in the CC-C, it would require another EIS to address
the impacts.
Commissioner Drake moved to approve the staff recommendation of increasing the height limit in the CC-C to 200
feet maximum for structures containing multifamily dwelling units, but to not include the proposed upper-level
bulk limit (the 80 percent "taper" clause). The motion was seconded. Chairperson Elder called for a roll-call vote,
results of which were: Elder - yes; Duclos - yes; Drake - yes; Bronson - no; Osaki - no; Pfeifer - yes; and
Duncan-Pierce - no. The motion carries.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
The Commission discussed their concerns about increasing the height for commercial buildings in the CC-C. It
seems to them that a lower height limit for commercial could limit development. Mr. Doherty commented that the
Commission could suggest the City Council place this issue on the Planning Commission work program. He also
stated that it is common for cities to have different height limits for different uses in order to encourage more of
one type of development. Chairperson Elder stated she would talk to the LUTC chair about this issue and the
Commissions concerns.
Commission Bronson stated that the Commission's Rules of Procedure state that elections will be. held the first
meeting in October. Ms. Piety commented that the City Council will be appointing Commissions for those terms
that expired September 2006 on November 7,2006, and elections will be held the first Planning Commission
meeting after this (November 8, 2006).

Amendments to Business Park (BP and Community Business (BC) zones
DATE:
TO:
VIA:
FROM:
BACKGROUND
During the 2006 Comprehensive Plan Update, the City Council asked staff to identify potential
zoning text amendments, and/or rezones, to the Business Park (BP) and/or Community Business
(BC) zones, to make zoning more market~responsive. This was due mainly to the high demand
the City has experienced over the last five years to rezone BP-zoned property to BC.
At the LUTC meeting on July 17, 2006, staff asked for feedback on various optional approaches
and key objectives for the code'amendments. The LUTC supported merging the BP and BC
zones into a single zone, with performance standards to address use-related impacts; expanding
commercial, office, and retail uses in the BP zone; increasing height for motelslhotels and
residential; and relaxing minimum lot size and setback requirements.
RECOMMENDATION FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
At this time staff has researched a possible merger of the BP and BC zones into a single "hybrid"
zone, and is recommending a slightly different approach to accomplishing the same objectives.
As detailed below, staff recommends maintaining two separate zones and "core" visions, while
updating policies, zoning regulations, and zone boundaries, to address emerging market demand.
This approach will preserve policies and zoning regulations that remain applicable, induding a
zone-based separation of highly incompatible uses, such as residential and industrial, and it will
continue to reflect existing predominant land use patterns.
This proposal will meet Council objectives to make BP zoning more responsive to current
market conditions favoring retail and other development. On the positive side this will allow a
more diverse and vibrant mix of uses, and a stronger, immediate tax base. On the negative side,
conversion to a retail employment base may promote lower wage jobs and increase traffic
congestion in existing high-volume corridors~
Staff is requesting Council input on this recommendation before proceeding with more detailed
analyses, public hearing, etc.
RECOMMENDATION (See attached map and table)
~ Rename the Business Park (BP) zone to "Commercial Enterprise" (CE). This new
name will reflect the updated purpose and intent for the BP zone, i.e., to increase
market-responsiveness by integrating a broad mix of retail, office and commercial
uses, into the predominantly industrial uses as currently contemplated.
November 20,2006

Page 2
~ Change, to CE, all currently BC-zoned properties located south of South 339th
Street (if extended); except the "Kitts Corner" property (located south of South
336th Street and west of SR-99) and the "Winco" property (located at the
northwest corner of SW Campus Drive and 1 5t Ave South). The Kitts Corner aIid
Winco properties must remain BC under pre-existing zoning agreements.
~ Retain BC zoning for all properties located north of South 339th Street, but with
text changes to implement the updated intent of the BC zone, i.e., continue to
recognize SR-99 as an auto-oriented, predominantly commercial corridor, but
encourage more pedestrian-oriented uses such as mixed use residential
development, and exclude uses that are incompatible with those objectives.
~ Listed below, and on the attached table,-are examples of key, use-related code
amendments, preliminarily identified by staff for further research, for LUTC
discussion and feedback.
- Expand the mix of "BC-like" commercial, office, and retail uses in the CE
(former BP) zone, to better meet market demand for these uses.
- Direct the highest-impact uses such as bulk and big box retail, and oversized
commercial vehicle facilities and yards, such as truck stops and tow lots, to CE,
and exclude them from BC.
-Continue to concentrate industrial uses such as manufacturing, assembly,
warehousing, and distribution, in the CE zone.
-Continue to concentrate mixed-use residential in the BC zone and not in CEo
~ Other anticipated key amendments would include:
- Increased "base" height for motels and hotels in both zones, to allow one or two
more floors, but not to compete with higher-rise hotels in the City Center. Height
increases for residential mixed-use in the BC zone will also be recommended If
Council wishes staff to research any other height increases, please direct.
-Review/update site development regulations such as minimum lot size and
setbacks; and design and performance standards, to help remove development
barriers and ensure compatibility with adjacent uses.

South 348th Street HOV Lanes Project;
85% Design Status Report
BACKGROUND:
This project will add HOV lanes on eastbound and westbound S 348th from 9th Avenue South to Pacific Highway
South. This will extend the HOV lanes from the Park & Ride lot at 9th Avenue South to 1-5. The traffic signal
system at 9th Avenue South will be replaced to accommodate the added lanes and the traffic signal system at
Pacific Highway South will be modified to accommodate the added lanes. Other improvements include curb,
gutter and sidewalk, planter strips between the curb and sidewalk and drainage modifications.
The following provides a brief synopsis of the progress on this project to date. Currently, the project design is
approximately 85% complete, which includes the following completed tasks:
· The Topographical Surveys
· The Geotechnical Investigation
. SEP A Submittals
· Channelization Plans submittal
. Value Engineering Study
· Open house held on August 23,2006
· SEP A Approval and Project Permitting
· Project Design to 85%
Ongoing Tasks Include:
· Right of Way Requirements (Property Appraisals, Review Appraisals Negotiation and
Acquisition)
· Project Design to 100%
Utility Undergrounding was not included in the Project Estimated Expenditures at the 30% Design Status Report
, presentation. This project will meet the requirements to underground the overhead utilities per the City Codes.
The City share of the cost to underground the overhead utilities is estimated between $250,000 and $300,000. The
Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) will not participate in the undergrounding costs. Therefore, the entire
cost for undergrounding will be at the City's expense.

$1,382,700. As part of the 2007-2008 budgets, staff is requesting $1,000,000 in utility tax to be allocated to
this project. Staff is not requesting a budget adjustment for this project at this tirne. As we proceed with the
project final design and right of way acquisitions process, the total project costs and funding will be refined
and presented to committee and Council at the 100% design completion status report for further action.

S 373rd Street Bridge Replacement Proje~'# 304-3100-250)
100% Design Status Report, Request to Bid, and WSDOT ILA Authorization
BACKGROUND:
On March 21 st, 2006, Council authorized the City Manager to enter into an Inter-Local Agreement
(ILA) with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) for conducting all
permitting work for the City's bridge replacement project at S 373rd Street and Hylebos Creek as well
as a constructability review, review of the plans and specifications and combining both agencies plans
and specifications into one set to advertise as one project with separate schedules of work. This ILA
work has been done and the plans and specjfications are fully completed.
This project will install a new bridge at the relocated West Hylebos Creek crossing on S 373rd Street
and will re~uire S 373rd Street to be shut down to through traffic from June 23rd until
September 3r ,2007. Local traffic will be allowed to access homes on S 373rd Street from the east or
west but the roadway will be impassible from the existing bridge to approximately 200 feet east as it
will be removed for the project construction. This'will be necessary for installation of the new bridge
and creek structure along with rebuilding the roadway.
Attached is a draft ILA with WSDOT for your consideration that covers their role in administering the
project on behalf of the City. This includes reviewing all bids, ensuring compliance with the plans and
